Barudak posted:If you look at the upper left corner, its possible to rule out the 8 block filling in the two left most spaces because that would eventually (after filling in column 1 and 2) result in you having to put a 2 in a row that can only contain a 1. Very rarely do you need to eliminate pieces by deriving that the move would invalidate something in another row. For the record, while this is a valid technique in my experience Nintendo’s picross games will never require it. In the picture posted you could also have X’ed a square in the fifth row down, the 1 2 1 2 row - the left of the two filled in squares has to have an X on the right. That should let you fill out more of that column and work from there.

Gluten Freeman posted:Yeah the rewind was in the last game, Shadows of Valentia, and it's an incredibly good feature. If permadeath/resetting ever stopped you playing Fire Emblem, that's basically a solved problem now. I'm a little annoyed about the rewind because one of my biggest pet peeves is people ignoring hit/crit rate and then getting outraged that the RNG bullshit killed them their 20th time attacking an enemy with 5% chance to crit, and the rewind seems like it'll just encourage people to keep trying until the dice roll in their favor instead of actually playing around it. On the other hand Fire Emblem has been moving away from being a strategy game for a while now so I should probably stop yelling at clouds.

On the one hand it's picross, but on the other hand part of the fun is trying to figure out what the image is before you finish, and 500 puzzles of "It's... an anime girl!" might get a little old.

Fitzy Fitz posted:On the anime cheese scale how does the new Fire Emblem compare to Fates? Still anime, but it's a lot milder. Way less focus on shipping/romance, more focus on the actual setting and politics, no random babies from the bad parenting dimension, no hot springs, supports are more grounded and less focused on inane flirting between one-note characters. Gameplay-wise it's a bit worse than conquest (the fundamentals are fine but even hard is boringly easy) but apparently they're patching in Lunatic later so maybe that will help?

THE AWESOME GHOST posted:The way I’ve been describing the gameplay is it’s a lot more RPG and less FE. The actual battles are a bit simpler because you’ve lost stuff like the weapon triangle, but making every character a blank slate and then tying their potential to stuff you can customize during the non battle portion is honestly pretty great, I’m really into how they handled it. Yeah, the customization is fun, there's just never anything to encourage you to engage with the system because you can just steamroll everything with no effort. I used gambits against non-monster enemies all of once, despite the fact that having a single soldier damage and lock down a group of enemies is incredibly powerful, because I could always just kill everything instead. It took until the final map to find a boss capable of doing double digit physical damage to Edelgard. Healers can recover ~80% of someone's max health from literally halfway across the map while still being just as good as anyone else at combat. I never bothered giving any of my mounted units the "remove mounted weakness" shield because I never found a single enemy that had effective weapons. And so on, it's pretty crazy even before you get to the 11 mulligans every battle. I'm still really enjoying Three Houses, but I really hope Lunatic makes the gameplay more engaging.

Policenaut posted:Meanwhile I see what they're doing to the NES Dragon Quest trilogy on Switch and I can't fathom that being any better than the SNES remake trilogy. SNES 3 looks fantastic. It's extra baffling because they're using the SNES sprites, but they redrew the character sprites at a different resolution. It would be easier and look better if they just stuck with the SNES sprites!

I remember when the original came out the ~anti-censorship~ types threw a fit because when they changed the female character's age from 17 to 18 or whatever they also rerecorded the japanese dialogue to match. No idea if there was other dialogue changed but there's a precedent at least.

It'll stun the boss for the first few turns of the fight. For the fight itself, just make sure you're using buffs/debuffs and kill the tentacles when they show up.

I know goons love being performatively disaffected so you know they're not like the nerds on reddit, but I think it's pretty understandable to be disappointed that pokemon is not only cutting out cutting out old pokemon for the first time, but doing so in such huge numbers. Especially when all the 3ds games ran poorly, because the models were way, way more detailed than they needed to be, in what everyone reasonably assumed to be future-proofing so they could reuse them in higher res games. Yeah there's people on gamefaqs or whatever throwing stupid temper tantrums, that doesn't mean the issue itself is invalid.

Neddy Seagoon posted:They also quite likely have to do a lot of work from scratch. A big part of the reason people are so frustrated is that they're not doing stuff from scratch. If all the returning pokemon had completely new models and animations in a different art style I think people would be a lot more understanding, but they're reusing the exact same models and animations they had in the 3ds games. Sword and shield actually have significantly less pokemon than X and Y did, despite the fact that Sword and Shield are reusing tons of models and animations from previous games while X and Y had to build everything from scratch.

Seriously, even if you think they're lying and pokemon gun's will have all the pokemon again, it's still perfectly reasonable to be disappointed they're stripping them out for sword and shield. If you think they're lying about that too and are going to patch them in, why? Why on earth would they not say so and avoid all the negative press?

Takoluka posted:I still don't quite understand the appeal of a living Dex, where 95% of the roster is in a zoo collecting dust, but I'm more bothered by how the current living Dex crowd is mad at Home, despite it being their zoo on a smartphone instead of a 3DS or Switch. I get that the option to use everyone isn't there in the new game isn't there, but you weren't doing that anyway. Is it really bad that the living Dex just now has to happen somewhere else? It's an annual subscription and you have no way of knowing when, if ever, a given pokemon will show up in game again. Framing it as being "mad at home" is misleading too, because the issue isn't home on its own (nobody was too angry about pokebank) it's the removal of pokemon from the new game. I haven't seen anyone who's fine with removing pokemon but mad at home, but there's tons of people who are fine with home but mad about pokemon being removed.

American McGay posted:Why would this be your first assumption? Lmfao gamers are loving insane man. Why do you keep being so aggressive and dismissive about pokemon when you're factually wrong? Would it kill you to actually look poo poo up before acting smug? Assuming that the 3ds models were overly detailed so they could be reused in HD games is perfectly reasonable, because guess what: they did. https://twitter.com/_djthed/status/1149932815154159616?lang=en Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu/Eevee, a game exclusive for the Nintendo Switch, uses the exact same models as the 3ds games. Not updated versions with a higher polycount or anything, literally the exact same models as on the 3ds. And it looks okay, because the 3ds models were way more detailed than they needed to be. This is also why people are so confused about removing the pokemon from Sword/Shield. They already have usable models, they've used them on the switch before, and from what we've seen it looks like they're using them again for the returning pokes, so why cut so many out?

Cadence is 2-3 hours of exploration, with plenty of downtime and calmer bits in between the short, more intense dungeons. Necrodancer is ~20 minutes of constant escalation Once you've learned everything Necrodancer is a lot more appealing, since you can jump right in and play without the downtime, but Cadence is a lot more approachable for someone who doesn't like the "die 100 times before your first win" style of roguelike learning. Both have fantastic music.
