I thought you had to kill the heart to get to the next Ascension. I have been on the first one this whole time. When people talk about being A:16 I assumed they had killed the heart that many times.

I feel like less, and more, of a dumbass now

Feel free to drop by the Slay The Spire thread. There's pretty much always somone around to give advice, tips, and tricks.

Yeah I need to nerf this haha. I like infinite combos but ideally it will take more than 1 item + 1 hero.

If it helps any, I had the coin to double the starting reroll number and orge sandwich to give me an extra roll. Both of which was needed to pull off the infinite combo turn 1.

Octopath Traveler: Champions Of The Continent is finally getting a NA/EU release! Closed Beta is planned for this spring, so I expect it to relase in the fall, if not winter, of this year.

I love the gacha cycle. A new game drops and immediately there are guides on how to reroll and what to reroll for. Then you get a few months of "it's not bad at all! You don't even need the gacha to progress and it's generous!" Then most people quit and the cycle repeats with the next one

Just one more reason I stick with DFFOO. They just hit 4 years GL (5 JP), and they're still generous as poo poo.

If you pre-registered for the Octopath Traveler: Champions Of The Continent Closed Beta, it's now available to download.

Servers won't open until 3/23/22 at 01:00 UTC (tonight at 9:00/8:00/7:00/6:00 PM E/C/M/P timezones)

So after spending a good chunk of time playing the Octopath Traveler Champions Of The Continent Beta, there was something very familiar about it.

It's Another Eden themed to Octopath. It's not 100% the same, but it's very clear that they took the engine for Another Eden and modified it.

It feels very Octopath Traveler, and I enjoy it. I plan to play it when it launches in a few months.

Please tell me this doesn't include the 5m mandatory data checking at every start up

It says Downloading when I start the app, but it doesn't seem to take much longer to do that and then load into gameplay than other games I've played. I don't know if it's just downloading stuff because of the beta (there have been some issues and fixes), or if it's doing like Another Eden did, but for now, I find it tolerable.

Edit
Just launched it, and timed things. Here's the results I got:

Launch > Squeenix Logo: 21 seconds
Squeenix Logo > Tap To Start: 15 seconds
Tapping To Start > Now Loading: 31 seconds
Now Loading > Loaded and ready to play: 16 seconds
Total time from Launch to Play: 1:23

It launches on Wednesday. I took part in the Beta, and this was my post about it afterwards:

Bloodstained is frigging amazing, but sadly, the mobile ports were outsourced, and seem to have been abandoned while still being buggy.

The best bet for playing it is on PC or any console but Nintendo Switch (that version is also a buggy mess).

Just got a new phone, and it is peak gamer nonsense. It's fast as hell, and I'm having trouble making it go full tilt in a game. Anyone have a suggestion for games that can be cranked to punishingly good levels of graphics?

So far I've been playing games through dolphin at stupid resolutions and genshin impact absolutely maxed, and it still hasn't dropped any frames.

If you just want to test, try Final Fantasy 7 Ever Crisis. I've had no issues on my tablet until that one. I had to set it to the lowest graphics settings, because any battles set in a forest slowed it down so bad…

Every time StS is mentioned, I wish I was under the same spell y'all are with it. Maybe I need to give it another shot but it didn't hit nearly as hard for me.

Same with Luck be a Landlord. I had a choice between spending my survey bucks on that, or a mobile port of Doom 2, and I'm feeling like I chose very wrong with LBAL.

Eh. It happens. I tried Slice & Dice, but it never grabbed me. :shrug:

Dungeon Raid was the poo poo. I was sad when support for it ended, and very sad when I upgraded to a device it wouldn't run on.

Dungelot was another victim of the Google fees and whatnot, but it still works on my tablet (for now…)


YggiDee posted:

The original was Dungeon Raid, assuming you can dig up a working APK. Troll Patrol is a very similar game but it's an actively updating game and runs on modern phones.

Troll Patrol is a pretty good successor, and it's also available on Steam AND Nintendo Switch.

Is this the game you guys are talking about?


Renegret posted:

No ads. Yet somehow not a gatcha either.

The secret to their mtx is items and coins. Coins get you extra turns when you run out and items help clear the board. You get plenty of both for free through normal play. The trick, however, is that around level ~200 you get access to the super light ball, where the lightball has a double effect on everything. You lose it when you lose your winning streak and don't get it back until you clear 10 rounds. The problem is that the super light ball is broken as all gently caress, so suddenly you start burning through all your resources trying to keep your streak going as long as possible. Once you get a taste of those balls, it feels really bad to lose it.
