my obtober-themed game story is that getting dragged to 28 days later as a teenager ruined something in my brain and i had horrendous, i'm-terrified-to-go-to-sleep fast zombie nightmares two, three, four, five times a week for almost a decade :(

but after i played left 4 dead with my bros, i don't have them at all anymore. nintendos cured my brokebrain :)

persona 3... i think we're actually seriously through this time.

i have been told over and over for many years that the persona/smt series is the intelligent player's game, use status effects and exploit weaknesses to gain the upper hand in a losing battle. but now i'm at sleeping table, and it's immune to status effects, and has no weaknesses. the strategy is literally just "outheal its damage with mediarama." which i can do, i'm just not willing to put up with this idiocy.

also don't be shy about using magic mirrors if you have any of them in your items, even one round of repelled damage can be the difference maker

megid- spells aren't blocked by magic mirror. i have the resources, the spells, the levels, the defenses, everything i need to fight it. the point is that i'm just not willing to spend the effort necessary to fight a boss where only half my party gets to attack because you have to heal twice every round the rng decides to use it.

with this boss, the illusion is stripped away and p3 has just stopped being fun and if you aren't playing video games to have a good time then why are you playing video games

i don't really have a horse in the race of whether middle aged men should be in games more or less, but it's very lol to me that a response to "there should be less" just blithely ignores the other half of the worlds population

i guess i'm just lumping both genders into the same category, to me a grizzled middle aged character is a grizzled middle aged character whether it's man shep or woman shep

well i'm missing all of it anyway because my lovely thieves have to be standing right on top the trap to even have a chance to detect it and i just walk over it because stupid LoS rules. with the potion of perception i have 105 trapfinding and while it does give them 100% disarm, they can't detect poo poo

"Horrible monster taking the form of an attractive lady for manipulation" is a plot point that needs to never show up again.
it doesn't have to be a woman but preying on the hero's weaknesses or desires in an appealing way is one of the oldest ploys in the book dude

I don't know if there is one. I didn't play EE. The original BG2 penalized you for certain armors but AFAIK looking up EE this doesn't apply in the original. The original had a console command to reveal all hotspots like ctrl + 4 or something, maybe those commands are still floating around.

apparently when i was searching the other day, they were doing some weird overhaul poo poo but g3 is back and i found the updated modpacks. goodbye traps, goodbye buggy line of sight, hello not having to rest every five seconds because you stepped on a trap

I feel like the best games take advantage of the interactivity of the medium, so you could talk all day about how games are art but if somebody is just watching an LP of SH2 or Hellblade or w/e they're not going to connect with how they deliver an experience apart from just watching a very long movie with door puzzles.

both the ds crystal chronicles games were kind of disappointing. they handled like poo poo and their bad attempt to force characterization into crystal chronicles, the game about punching poo poo with your best friends, just made things wose. their multiplayer was a pain to make work because it was IR/RF, had spotty connectivity when it did, and they didn't even include netplay :downs:

like why u gonna make a crystal chronicles game on systems with online capabilities, go to all the trouble of making it cross-compatible between the DS and the Wii... and then make it local play only what the fuuuuuuuuck

I suspect it helped that the Dangan Ronpa playthrough crossed the release of Virtue's Last Reward, another death game related VN (and the Let's Play of 999, the prequel to Virtue's Last Reward).

By the way, if they are taking the mick out of the fans they're not doing it by halves. Huge spoiler for Dangan Ronpa 3 ending: The DR3 death game turns out to be a reality TV show run by a group of fans of the Dangan Ronpa games who love it so much they'll volunteer to have their memories wiped and replaced with those of a wacky DR-like character and then play an actual death game on camera. There are no answers to any of the plot hooks from the previous games because they're also just fictional games in the DR3 world. or something like that anyway. (I didn't actually play it myself, I just saw a bunch of reviews saying "don't play this because of the ending" and was intrigued.)

i've never even played or read dodgy roomba but i wouldn't like that 'cause it's too meta for me, i don't care for that poo poo
