Feenix posted:Is good? People talk it up a lot so I want it but I just still don't really know what kind of game it is. Gravity Rush is a solid, but very flawed game. Basically, it's an open world game where the central conceit is that your character - Kat - can control gravity around her. So she can run on walls/ceilings/the bottom of buildings, fall up, etc. The main flaw is that there's a lot of combat in the game and the combat isn't amazing, especially if you fall into the trap of trying to Gravity Kick everything. That said, it's really cool and definitely worth a look.

Saint Freak posted:Cyber Sleuth kinda looks like a Raidou game, is that accurate? I know nothing about digimans. Not really, no. Digimon is a traditional JRPG with somewhat (but not really) Pokemon reminiscent monster capture/raising mechanics. One nice thing about it is there is no RNG in the capture mechanic: when you encounter a Digimon you want, you'll gather X% of data on that Digimon, and when you have 100% you can create it; if you get 200%, you get a bonus when you create the Digimon, I forget what that bonus was offhand. Combat involves exploiting Digimon type and attributes. So if you're fighting a boss that's all Virus type Digimon, you should use a party comprised of Vaccine types, because you'll double your damage output and halve theirs. Elemental advantage adds another 50% on top of that for a maximum triple damage. Monster raising at its most basic level involves leveling up your Digimon, then choosing to Digivolve them at the lab when they meet the digivolution requirements (so when they reach X Level, Y HP, Z STR, etc.) You can dedigivolve your dude, which is a good idea when you cap your Digimon's level (and can't digivolve) or you're trying to raise Ability for a specific reason. It's a really, really cool JRPG.

Speaking of mech games, I've been thinking about playing one on my Vita lately. Are any of the PSP Armored Core games good? I like that franchise a lot, but I'm not sure how well it would transfer to handheld.

Thanks guys! I admit I was pretty concerned about the control scheme, but it sounds like that won't be an issue.

ImpAtom posted:In comparison I will say that the ending of Life is Strange is literally the only way I could have imagined it ending and I feel it's perfectly thematically cohesive with the rest of the game. I played it pretty much the same way you did; that is, blind and with no breaks (it wasn't a single sitting, but it was still maybe three days total.) I laughed really hard at how absurd/bad the ending was when it happened and immediately had a bunch of other ideas for how it could have ended. It was still my favorite game last year, but that ending was a train wreck and had no business being in that game.

Popular Human posted:A friend of mine had SoM on PS3 and I watched him play it. It was...not good. It's definitely night and day; you can tell the game was never really intended for last-gen hardware and was basically a jury-rigged, "we can squeeze a few more dollars out of this launch if we have a 360/PS3 release" kind of deal. And this is coming from someone who played and didn't hate the 360 version of Dragon Age: Inquisition. What was that even like? Did it seem like a really generic fantasy open world game or something? I legitimately can't imagine what that game would be like without the Nemesis system.

Real hurthling! posted:Some digimon cyber sleuth questions: It does have random encounters, and as you proceed through the game you get abilities which can change the encounter rate dramatically. It's a fairly straightforward playthrough. For the most part normal will be pretty easy as long as you have a reasonable Digimon type distribution.

Real hurthling! posted:ok so its not like a take 2 steps, fight a battle, sort of thing but more like you can set it to taste? You can eventually shift the encounter rate around a bit (by the endgame you can instantly summon encounters or prevent them outright), but not immediately. You need to have Digimon of specific evolution levels or types to adjust the encounter rate. I don't recall the encounter rate ever being too high, but it's been a while.

I really want to play that Raven DLC. I hope they have a Yunica DLC in the pipeline too, that would rule

Did someone at Sony gently caress up, or does this flash sale seriously not have PS+ discounts on top of the normal discount? I don't think I've ever seen them do that before.

Renoistic posted:I played Demon's Souls and Dark Souls for a couple of hours but couldn't get into them. I hear Bloodborne is supposed to be the best in the "series", though. I normally enjoy character action games like DMC and Ninja Gaiden, but there was just something about the old Souls games that didn't click with me. That combined with the harsh checkpoint system made it hard to bother with the effort. I really would like to get into the series though. I'm really curious what connection you saw between the gameplay in a game like DMC and the gameplay in Souls.

Renoistic posted:I meant Bloodborne, not the other Souls games. It's pretty superficial I guess, but I got the impression Bloodborne is more fast paced than the others, focusing on aggressiveness and heavy use of invincibility frames. I can see that, I guess. I will say, though, you definitely can play those other Souls games like that. It's just not the 100% intended way to play them like it is with Bloodborne.

Sakurazuka posted:As someone who never touches shields in a Souls game, the regain system in BB makes playing aggressively way more viable. You're right. I was just pointing out that it's a valid way of playing the other games.
