Anyone played Fire Emblem Heroes yet? I just got a notification on my phone that it's out now.

I just got through a week from hell, but fortunately I've had Dragon Quest 5 to get me through it. Pankraz, you were kind of a lovely dad but you didn't deserve to go out like you did.

Real hurthling! posted:its really cool. i was laughing so hard the main character says some amazing poo poo to his teacher It's got some neat callbacks that most US players won't get, like that all your AI companions are the level bosses from the first Kunio game, because the first game came to the US as Renegade and all the graphics and sprites were done over to make it a Warriors knockoff. The lack of scope is a legit issue though, it's the main reason I have no desire to play it again after having finished it.

There was a Capcom arcade game of it 20 years ago. I never saw it in the wild but I did play the PS1 port and it was pretty bad. raditts fucked around with this message at 00:39 on Feb 8, 2017 |

Lurdiak posted:I am worried about the upcoming castlevania series because last I heard Warren Ellis had replaced the whip with a sword, so there would be zero point to any of it. There's no whip in SOTN (excepting Richter mode) and that's like the most popular game in the series. Don't be mistaken, there is no point to any of it, just that's not the reason why.

Randomly selected for the chance to pre-order?  In Training posted:Im the opposite, Im kind of completely fine with gore 99% of the time but MKX was the most vile and joyless game Ive ever played. That has less to do with the gore and more to do with the fact that MKX is just a pretty bad game. I wasn't crazy about Injustice 1 though myself, I found it just as joyless to play. The only thing I really remember from it is the shameless minor-key-shifted ripoff of Blue Rondo a la Turk they had in most of the cutscenes.

Help Im Alive posted:I can't get into any of the NRS fighting games I think it's the weird lovely way combos work, where you don't time them progressively with your character's animations but instead you have to mash in all the buttons at the beginning of the combo. That's what turns me off about them, anyway. It wasn't so bad in MK9 where you could still do decent combos just by stringing moves together like in the older games, but MKX and Injustice seemed to lean heavier on the dial-a-combo type poo poo.

Bicyclops posted:Better the phone dad than Porky's Dad. So is the rear end in a top hat kid supposed to be named Porky and not Pokey? It didn't occur to me until I was watching my kids play that story mode on the Wii Smash Bros and it was spelled that way there, but it makes sense. Wonder why they didn't bother changing that for the VC version of Earthbound, I guess they figured it wasn't worth the trouble.

I haven't played Mother 3 yet (played a little like 10 years ago when the translation came out but then I fell off for some reason) but I'm going to after I finish DQ5, since I finally finished Earthbound for the first time over Christmas. I really hope I get to kick his rear end. Problem Sleuth posted:are the android versions of the dragon quest games any good? They're pretty much the best versions you can get, the first 6 at least. 4-6 are ports of the DS versions, the touch controls are kind of obnoxious for walking around and I wish there was a controller / widescreen option but it balances out by being more convenient to start up and play a little / grind some levels in short bursts. Also it has party chat, which I think I heard they don't have in the English DS versions? raditts fucked around with this message at 20:12 on Feb 13, 2017 |

plz dont pull out posted:Speaking of humor not landing, I watched my roommate play the Conker's Bad Fur Day remake for the Xbox this afternoon and boy did that game not age well. Like it isn't funny and the platforming seemed terrible. Like top to bottom it just doesn't work. Yeah, the game leans entirely on the edgy "this ain't your daddy's Nintendo game!" adult content, that's basically what all the ads were pushing at the time as well. I played it last in like 2002 and even then the actual gameplay was terrible. Even more so when you get to the already tired Matrix and Saving Private Ryan parodies that turn the game into a third person shooter.

Lurdiak posted:I like when games do that, it keeps the world from feeling like a glorified corridor. For example the Mario and Luigi games are very bad at not feeling that way. I'm still playing through dragon quest 5 and the amount of party chat dialogue you can get after talking to almost every single npc is astounding. credburn posted:This makes me so happy. I really thought I was the only one seeing this and was once again the only person upset about something everyone else seems either oblivious to or entirely okay with. I think you're giving them way too much credit if you think that much (or any) pre planning goes into a YouTuber video. Their video editing abilities are almost always atrocious, but the standards of their viewers are probably equally low so it works out for them. raditts fucked around with this message at 14:48 on Feb 17, 2017 |

LawfulWaffle posted:Maybe we can finally hammer out the definitive, objective list of the best final fantasy games of all time. I think I'll make the one safe choice and put Final Fantasy III DS at the bottom of the list. I look forward to the constructive and well-reasoned arguments the thread has for the other titles while I go elsewhere and wait for this to die down. FF3DS is not at the bottom, but that's because the original FF3j and any version of FF2j are below it.

Finished DQ5 tonight. Final boss was kind of boring and disappointing compared to the insane DQ4 one, I wasn't sure there wasn't some final final boss about to pop out until the credits started rolling. Think I might take on Mother 3 next. This can't be real, right? This has to be a parody. *googles it* welp raditts fucked around with this message at 07:09 on Feb 18, 2017 |

Lurdiak posted:Man I really wish that Scott Pilgrim game wasn't awful, the pixel art is so charming. It wasn't BAD, it was just kind of repetitive and forgettable, and gives you little rain to want to come back to it once you've finished the game. And also weirdly more of a Castle Crashers knockoff than RCR, despite the source material.

Maybe it was better multiplayer. I only ever played it with my wife, it seemed like it was definitely balanced toward playing with four people for some reason.

Harrow posted:Gamer shame: I have never played Ys and I know almost nothing about it other than it's a cool fast-paced action-RPG. Is there a best one to start with on PC? If you want classic Ys bumping-into-monsters style action, then Ys 1+2 Chronicles. If you want more modern action-RPG style action that's kinda like a top-down Castlevania, then Ys Origin. Then Ys 1+2 Chronicles after that, since Origin is a prequel and everyone should play Ys 1+2 imo. Just keep in mind that they are very different games gameplay-wise. Some people will tell you Oath in Felghana, which is a remake of Ys 3, but I never really liked either version of that game. The original was a side-scroller that was a Zelda 2-esque break from the style of 1+2, and the remake is similar to Origin but not as polished because it came out a few years previous. I won't say you shouldn't play it, but I would temper your expectations on that one. raditts fucked around with this message at 05:01 on Feb 24, 2017 |

MMF Freeway posted:I literally could not understand how to properly bump enemies in Ys 1. I spend like 10 min dying to the first enemies and gave up lol. Origins owns though. The DS ports that came out in like 2008 added an attack button instead of bumping. I don't think it really helped though.

I finally got around to playing AM2R this week and it was good but it felt more like a Super Metroid rom hack than Metroid 2, especially since at least half of the game was new content. So I remembered that I had the original Metroid 2 on my 3DS, decided to give that a play after finishing AM2R, and... wow, that game miserably fails the test of time. Entire areas that are copy-pastes of other areas to the point where I thought I'd gone the wrong direction multiple times, random screeching noises masquerading as what I assume is supposed to be "ambient sound," the same two awful music tracks playing over and over... somehow this was all acceptable to me when I played the poo poo out of it on my Gameboy as a kid. Maybe the novelty of A Portable Metroid Game was what made it tolerable.Lurdiak posted:Ahahaha if you increase your max health when it's at 255 in RCRU it wraps back around to zero. You keep talking about this game, but I looked it up and it just looks like some kind of lovely fangame that is being sold for money for some reason. Is there a reason anyone should care about it?
