Sounds normal since I dislike or am neutral at best about the combat in most RPGs

Have no idea why they give the MC a taunt in Okage when MC death is game over.

okage's cute and the combat is barebones, but it's not a bother at least

Barudak posted:Wow thats, uh, dogshit. Extremely thankful I did not have that bug The bug seems to keep happening, Garr's scene just won't trigger for me. I had to go back and redo stuff, and now have a save before the sequence, but each time I try it, it keeps being broken.

okage's writing is good but the english release is very, very bad. it clearly didn't get any kind of editing pass so after a point the dialog devolves into nigh unreadable nonsense. i'm talking all character voice getting flung out the window and the text not even being able to keep who the active speaker in a line of dialog is straight. also for some reason the english release edited the main character's face to make him look more "normal" but they didn't edit anyone else's faces at all so they just look drawn in a different style from everyone else now.Sakurazuka posted:Sounds normal since I dislike or am neutral at best about the combat in most RPGs okage's combat is a step below. its problem is a combination of too slow and too weirdly balanced so it often has ridiculous difficulty spikes you have no good option for dealing with. if okage was just balanced like a basic but functional rpg maker game it'd be fine but its xp distribution is so loving weird and it feels like it always wants you to be four levels higher than you reasonably could be

kirbysuperstar posted:relayer is not like, particularly good but i kind of appreciate its roughness and the attack animations are actually pretty good I enjoyed Relayer quite a bit. It's not great, by any stretch. But the robot designs are cool and combat is simple and punchy. I bought it on sale and it was well worth the price of admission for me.

I have written this post multiple times and then rewritten it as a fresh cutscene plays but its really really hard for me to fairly judge Forspoken when its dialog writing conflicts with me this sharply. I would genuinely score this game higher if everything were in pantomime. Im watching cutscenes because my brain refuses to believe you can maintain this level of bad this long and this consistently.

I liked this game, but yeah its really rough, and has like 1000 hours of cutscenes. The pacing is absolute rear end unless you're willing to skip cutscenes.

I said come in! posted:Ooh hey an appreciator of Relayer! I liked this game, but yeah its really rough, and has like 1000 hours of cutscenes. The pacing is absolute rear end unless you're willing to skip cutscenes. Thankfully the game seems to know this and gives you a lot of options for speeding up battle animations and skipping cutscenes. The story stuff definitely thins out a bit as the game progresses too, so I didn't feel the need to skip as much later on.

About to head into the titular Unicorn Overlord mission, I'm guessing it's the final one, or at least close to it. Do I need to have Alain and the Ring of the Maiden carrier in the same party? Right now I have them separated. Obviously the rings' special abilities will come into play, but idk if they need to be together or not.

Hey, just to confirm, the Switch version of Eiyuden appears to just be completely bricked. A patch to fix a different bug seems to have deleted one of the scene triggers for an endgame sequence where you walk around the castle at night, rendering the sequence, and game, unable to be completed.

normally i like suffering a game's rough points to see what's cool about it but okage's poor english release makes it hard for me to say it's worth it. that translation really is just unforgivably bad and means you only get a rough idea of what's going on plotwise by the end

Though you can go most of the map with them in separate squads and then put them together for the boss, if you'd like; there's an opportunity to do that, because the map is long.

Just to update you guys, I found the issue. Turns out Seign has two scenes during this sequence, but you have to go up next to him to trigger the second one, and he's loving invisible. It seems to be an issue with the latest patch on Switch. Who playtested the drat patch, Kreskin?

in the interest of trying out a saga game im playing the last remnant (pc). i stopped 6 hours in in 2013 and im starting to realize why. im 6 hours in and at the catacombs and am just really bored, the systems are still locked down to the point where combat is really brainless and it doesnt feel like any real strategizing is possible or asked of me. anyone have opinions on when this game starts getting interesting?

In what is an absolutely unrelated note, my mahjong skills went from "whats a mahjong" to "I'm playing mahjong online and winning a slightly concerning amount of my games" somewhere along the line.

EclecticTastes posted:One huge problem with Eiyuden is the pacing of the war. In Suikoden II, you get handed Ls left and right for quite a while, sure, but about halfway through, you turn it around, and suddenly you're the ones going on the offensive. Eiyuden basically feels like that first half of Suikoden II right up until the end of the game. The turnaround point should come much earlier, because as it is, it ends up feeling kind of rushed and unsatisfying, like they had an entire second half planned for the game that they had to scrap. It really feels to me that they cut out/didn't have time for a bunch of stuff at the end. I am not quite at all of it (just got all the non-stars), and the game just told me about the cool mission Seign did. Which has real Xenogears disk II vibes.
