Skies of Arcadia had bland typical turn based combat but I liked that they'd animate your allies and enemies attempting to fight each other in the background and whiffing attacks while you were making your choice and the ship combat was neat. Shadow Hearts series has my favorite turn based combat though

Looper posted:I love SoA to death but I reeeeeaaaally wish you could actually position your characters in combat since some spells and abilities have specific areas of effect. And tweak the close range and long range normal attacks while you're at it Yeah, it was always strange that they had these abilities and attacks that would hit different areas but you had no control over where your character was. I'd like to see an hd port at some point but I don't think an hd port could fix the weird combat stuff, and I wouldn't want them remaking it because...well, it's a dumb reason but I feel like they'd do what they did with Valkyria and ditch what made it so special and unique and interesting.

What are some jrpgs where status effects actually mattered? I wanna say shadow hearts had some that mattered because everybody had the potential to be overpowered in that game and if you didn't do your buffs right, you could get absolutely wrecked, but if you did do your buffs right, you could stunlock even bosses.

Phantasium posted:Between the Rage Spell, the Fire Monster transformation's double damage buff, and Lucia's guaranteed critical and a Seventh Key, I think the first attack I did directly against the final boss in Shadow Hearts 2 did 80% of its health. Exactly That poo poo owned. I also liked the combo system you could set up so you could just juggle enemies between your allies. Though correct me if I'm wrong, isn't there that Infinite Key or whatever it was called and you could combine it with the one Judgement Ring type that only has 1 area you have to hit and it just autocompletes the rest for you and if you combined the two then you automatically would just hit the enemy until they died? I can't remember if that was a thing you could actually do or just something people were hoping you could do.

Monkey Fracas posted:Are there any other RPGs that have sorta turn-based combat with some manner of engagement beyond picking your moves and watching your characters do them and does it really help the battle system at all? Remember all of the Paper Mario games and all of the Mario+Luigi games being like this Shadow Hearts series.

I like how every single character in FF8 can be completely broken to do tons and tons of damage and that every system can be broken to let you do tons and tons of damage and that you can do silly things like obtaining the ultimate weapon for squall before the end of disc 1 or playing a surprisingly fun card game in order to get access to stuff you wouldn't normally have access to or just straight up turning off encounters since the game gets harder the higher your level is.

DLC Inc posted:Golden Sun is absolutely horrendous and it never fails to surprise(?) me when every few months there's a neogaf thread about "Golden Sun: a masterpiece" I only ever completed that game once, I was super annoyed because I saved at a point that was a point of no return so I could only fight the final boss and complete the game or I could just restart the game if I wanted to try to complete it 100%. I don't remember anything about that game outside of the cool battle music though and that it was neat to be able to use your skills to manipulate parts of the environment. I always hear people complain about the amount of text, but what about the story itself and the puzzles were bad? I mean, like I said, I don't remember much so if you could fill me in that'd be cool

DLC Inc posted:Every single character is an exposition dumpster and nearly every part of the story is filled with moronic plotholes either due to bad writing or inconsistencies juxtaposed with the actual powers the game introduces. It happens constantly and by the end, the story pulls the worst poo poo ever by telling you that the bad guys are actually good and you've wasted your loving time doing all this menial work. What kind of plotholes were there? I'd rather not play through both games to try to find out. oddium posted:god bless this grandpa Yeah, he's very skilled at the carving stuff and I like watching him just cut out the blocks. I don't really care that he's cutting out some other guy's video game design things, I just like how good this guy is at something so neat and skilled. I kinda wish the guy who did the art itself had done a jojo print or two tho, I feel like those would be interesting to look at.

 drat that's a nice-looking book. Too bad about the price, though. I just wanna find a cheap decent-quality hardback copy of master and commander on amazon but nah the prices for that are pretty big and I feel like for a book that old, I should never drop the 17 or whatever dollars they were asking for it on amazon. I'd just get it at the library but, and I know this is dumb, but when I have to read something under a deadline, I pretty much never do it. I just give up and say gently caress it. Like, it doesn't matter that I can just renew the book multiple times before having to return it, I just don't read when I'm on a deadline. It's weird. I know some people suggested I just get the ebook version but ehhhh I like having the hardbooks in my hand since it's a good way to relax, just lying down in bed with a nice book.

StrixNebulosa posted:Do you mind used copies at all? The used hardback copies look pretty cheap! The used hardback copies I saw ranged from 8 to 17 dollars and I saw on another site they had a used hardback for 4 bucks and 4 bucks is about what I'd feel comfortable paying for it given this is KCB's amazon gift credit, not mine, so I'd rather not spend too much of it on just one book. Edmond Dantes posted:Go big or go home. Hahaha yeah I saw that, fuuuuuuck. 200 bucks for the complete set, jesus christ. I mean, that would factor out to be about 10 bucks a book but still.

I'm not super well versed in nautical terminology, but I think I know enough to get by. I've just always wanted to read the aubrey-maturin books. I like sea stuff from that time period.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Isn't a mech just a walking tank Depends. There's a line between tank and mech where something can be both or they can be one or the other. Like, iirc the front mission wanzers are just walking tanks, that's why they're called wanzers in the first place, but I wouldn't call stuff like the zone of the enders mechs "walking tanks"

Like, there are so many times I wish I had notch's level of money because I know I'd at least do something good with it. Basically I'd do what Richard Garriott does because Richard Garriott owns, gently caress the haters. That guy is just happy as can be and uses his money to do stuff he thinks is cool like picking up old artifacts or building neat mansions or going to space, and afaik Richard Garriott isn't an rear end in a top hat so he's like the anti-notch

CAPTAIN CAPSLOCK posted:Garriott is basically running a scam like Star Citizen only less successfully in terms of crowdfunding so I thought Garriott always made products, it seems a bit of a stretch to compare that to the star citizen dev team that takes in money and likely isn't going to ever have any kind of output.

Mostly I wanna know how the start of Crash 2 plays out if you're playing as Coco, like if Coco is just there telling Coco to go fetch her stuff or what :P Or if you get holographic messages from Coco telling Coco not to trust Cortex.

ImpAtom posted:Nah, it died last year. Only Lego and Amiibo are left. IIRC, activision said they wanted to focus more on the imaginators line and supporting that instead of moving on to another iteration so soon so it sounds more like it's similar to that assassins creed situation where they took a year off from releasing an AC game to focus on other media stuff.

Guy Mann posted:I wonder if ADTRW has a chat thread that's mostly people talking about video games. Haven't posted there in a few years now but they'd talk about games a lot, but also talk about anime a lot, and also there were too many people that got away with saying creepy poo poo back then. I dunno if that has changed now since one of the reasons I stopped posting there was that it always seemed like I was being treated like the bad guy for thinking that people posting sexualized pics of underaged anime girls should be called out.
