Shovel Knight somehow strikes this uncanny balance between feeling like an old game while having none of the annoying issues that actual old games have. It's really a true gem and I can't wait to see what Yacht Club does next once they're finished delivering on alllllllll of the stretch goals.

exquisite tea posted:All the original great beat-em ups were conceived out of 80s zeitgeist fears of organized crime and urban decay, now in today's political climate I think the opportunity is there for a modern revival where you beat down nazis and corporate shills with razor-lined briefcases. In Ninja Warriors you are a Robot Ninja and you must stop the bad guy who is some kinda corrupt tyrant with an evil government/corporation/loosely affiliated group of evil municipalities (it's not super-clear) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yvSsnf0BOWc Close, but not quite...

Damned shiftless Dragon Quest monsters Having a good time with DQ8 on the 3DS so far- really glad they took out random encounters.

I'm probably gonna wait a bit on Nioh, kinda BloodBurned out on Souls-ey stuff right now. Definitely excited for Nier though

Ran into my first brick wall in Dragon Quest 8- first time you fight the Magic Clown jerk. Just was not leveled up enough- like there's kinda no way around "your numbers are too low to make this work" in this game. Thankfully Metal Slime hunting is easy and fast. Really glad those things are in the game or grinding up a few necessary levels before a boss would be a real drag.

MMF Freeway posted:You can also do a lot of alchemy crafting at that point since the argonia bazaar just opened up. Yeah, spent a little time looking up what I could do and have everyone pretty well kitted out- just was getting wrecked regardless. Apparently the Alchemy Pot wasn't instantaneous in the PS2 release...

Shindragon posted:Normally when I double dip on a remaster or a re release of an old game, it tends to bank on either nostaglia or improvements. It's actually the first time in the game I've had to do any grinding at all so that's pretty good- lack of random encounters has probably allowed me to skip more fights than I would have otherwise and led to me being a little underleveled. Whenever I see a monster I haven't fought I go after it so I can read the little description in the battle record. Those are fun- gives the palette-swapped monster designs a little more life via flavortext.
