i finished berseria last night, pretty good game, and i think i'll go to THE TENTH LINE next because i've wanted to play Fur Cry 4 since corn posted screens of it

strangely, berseria is the first game i've ever played where the sequel is not only far better than the game that came before it, but is also at the same time very much cheapened by its predecessor

I think the reception can be drastically changed if you know the trick ahead of time or if you try to tackle it like a normal boss until making a desperation move. My case was the later and I think it was a great way to end the game.

I knew ahead of time, myself. I think it's a good sequence, at least the first time you play through it, but it's always a crappily-designed battle.

this coming from someone who thinks rs3's final battle is one of the best, even though it's really only due to the music, because a boss where whether you win or not is entirely up to the rng for what attacks the boss uses is even worse than fighting giygas

Is Mother 1 a thing that exists / is worth playing?

earthbound 0 was an acceptable game in 1989. however, it's everything bad about playing an nes rpg with none of the modern innovations or luxuries to alleviate or distract you from these issues.

the other games have a reference or two to it in them--usually musical--but it's also largely unimportant to the chronological story of the series

I'm sure there were some actual mechanical differences and whatever, but I love that the design and story and characters of a famously cancelled game actually got made into a finished product, and a drat good one.

you'd be surprised at how much changed. iirc the pokey's pokeys sequence was actually supposed to be you fighting all the protagonists and their friends from the previous games, like if pokey had brainwashed them, but then shigesato itoi, in his own words, "became a good person"

so from then on i decided that meaninglessly preachy or edgy poo poo must've been made by someone who has yet to become a good person

idk... comparatively speaking, like if i was gonna choose between poutine and biscuits & gravy for hangover food, i'd go with the latter every time

if we're talking currently-drunk food, i can think of at least three things i'd eat sooner than poutine and, unsurprisingly, they can all be bought out of an unlicensed taco truck

oh i mean i know where you're coming from, i like california roll poke too, i'm just salty that people will go to luxury poke restaurants in the continental us regularly but never come close to wanting to try the original thing because it's just different ingredients. it's all prepared the same way, it's not like you're gonna have a fish head lookin up at you if it's prepared traditionally

poo poo man i didn't mean it like that, the context of this was that the other guy was just lazy. he could afford the ingredients but wasn't willing to invest the time (which he also had), and for some reason was trying to say i was too classy for cooking my own food? i understand if you don't have the resources to cook from scratch, but if you can and just don't want to, that's fine but don't rain on my parade 'cause i cook

persona 5 sold about 600-700k in japan. please account for the other 800ish k.

doubling your native sales globally sounds neat on paper but only really counts when you're a blockbuster movie working in nine or ten figures. with the astronomical price of top-shelf game development, yeah, it made money against its operational expenses, but if it was their only ip, they'd be in deep poo poo i bet

like statistically the population of the us is three times that of japan, and that's discounting canadian, australian, and european markets and yet they only sold around the same amount of copies abroad as they did in their home market

there's a good reason atlus casts a wide net as a publisher

3) what do you think the average salary for a software engineer is in japan, or a 3d modeler, or a director, etc etc
4) how many years was the game in development

that's a huge investment. independent studios fold because they don't realize that paying six people a competitive salary is 300k/yr

And as we all know, PCs are only used for playing video games and also immediately self destruct when the current console generation ends.

i mean, i'm glad of my desktop, but i'd be lying if i said the reason my budget doesn't include a ps4 or a switch is because i chose i'd rather upgrade my hardware over it. a good new gpu costs less than a ps4, but next time, maybe i think my hard drives are getting a little long in the tooth, or maybe the mobo itself has been physically degraded from living in an environment that's harmful to computer hardware, etc.

maintaining a computer capable of running fancy games is kind of a sisyphean undertaking. you don't do it every year, but hell when it comes down to deciding "do i want new games hardware or do i want new computer parts" the answer generally comes out to "i kinda got a lot of games i wanna play on the computer, too..."

and also music from games i really liked as a kid. treasure hunter g was--i don't wanna say like "it changed my perspective on the world" or someshit like that but it helped me understand how much i value character interaction writing over world building. like who cares exactly what the history of [port town] is but the party members telling each other good night whenever you stay at an inn is priceless https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DXxBA6G4Omw
