exquisite tea posted:To get Wakka's ultimate weapon you had to do something absurd like win 3 seasons in a row and I did it because I had no life when I was 17. Nah, it was just "reset the Blitzball stats until what you want at the end of the season is the league prize." iirc only one of Wakka's ultimate weapon components was a ten-round Season prize and everything else was the three-round Championship prize. Cowcaster posted:the only thing i remember about brave fencer musashi is discovering on my own that if you blocked an attack and then tapped the big sword button you'd do this giant explosion counterattack that was samurai legend musashi. brave fencer musashi was the one with bincho points and you had a special attack where you double jump and dive at the enemy, and the game plays this weird crow sfx

Tenzarin posted:Which do you guys prefer shooter games with universal ammo or shooter games without universal ammo? Which has more tension? Universal ammo games lets you reload all your guns with the same ammo, In Deus Ex: Invisible War you could reload the rocket launcher with the same ammo that you used for your pistol. it kinda depends, i usually prefer games with specialized ammo because i tend to like mid-range burst ars above anything else, but if i take a series of misses or get pinned down, i still have the pistol, shotgun, or single-shot rifle option rather than screwing myself because i favor an ammo-hungry weapon. but if it's a game with inventory management, i'd much rather have universal ammo so i don't need to constantly tetris my loving backpack

unity has slow, clunky movement and combat; arno as a character is completely disengaging; the best missions are multiplayer but the interface sucked and nobody plays it anymore, and a lot of it is balanced around the assumption that you have high-level equipment; directly related to high-level equipment: a lot of the equipment is locked behind community challenges, and it takes something like an entire year to get everything, and only if your crew ranks first, otherwise it'll take 2+yrs just to not look like a loving street hobo getting one-shotted and doing plink damage to goddamn everything also it reaches both its narrative and cinematic climax halfway through the game syndicate has extremely snappy movement and combat--it adds the grappling gun, for one, which lets you climb to the top of a building almost instantly, and set up aerial assassinations anywhere in the entire game; the two main characters are great, if a little... overly-inspired by crappy british tv; the missions are actually fun and you can do them in almost any order (though this contributes to the game's narrative problems); equipment is only locked behind fun side activities (again, this is marred by doing things out of order, so you might start strong and unlock really cool poo poo, and then everything else is lackluster, to no fault of your own) i liked it when it came out, but in retrospect, rear end:unit was a mistake

Snak posted:I would barely consider HZD an rpg. Well what about like stat growth as opposed to player ability? I consider games where you can overcome a skill cap by just overgrinding numbers to be an RPG more than I consider a game with choices or even a lot of dialogue to be an RPG.

Snak posted:Yeah, and HZD isn't really like that. There aren't any stats, weapons can be modified, but are pretty nuch static values, and while there is a skill tree, there aren't really "builds" because you can easily fill it. Oh well there you go, I was really just spitballing on account of not having played it that maybe it had numerical stats etc. I phrased it badly tbh, I shoulda said like "Does it have stat growth?"

suddenly i'm reminded of why i don't play civ 4 anymore, it's because all-or-nothing losing units in one attack is top level bullshit and i just threw 20 veteran units at a city with three unpromoted defenders who were a tech era behind and lost them all, and then i got attacked by eight units at a city with six defenders who were a tech era ahead and lost the city also because unlike civ 5, the ai can spawn units for free, because how else does a 4-population city produce a ten-unit army in eight turns
