I don't think I even saw anybody talk about the fire emblem game that got released between fates and three houses. Was it that bad or am I just blind?

Awesome Animals posted:Generally FIFA will release a demo 2-4 weeks before release. It will feel like a huge upgrade, and then the game will come out and feel like rear end. Everyone will say wait for the first patch that comes out a month or so after release. I've been reminded that I have it backwards. The game comes out feeling great, and then the patch hits and it plays like rear end.

exquisite tea posted:I remember reading CYOA books with RPG stat tables back in the mid-90s, I don't think it's a particularly new invention. Yeah, I'm a huge huge nerd so I collect CYOA books of various types, and there's a lot of them that were basically single player D&D but its just such a tiny niche that almost nobody has heard of them. The biggest RPG CYOA were the Lone Wolf series, which I adored as a child. I've since gotten more of them, as well as many other series. Definitely reaches back even before the 90s. Rarity posted:Lone Wolf came out in the 80s even Bingo And there was Fighting Fantasy before that, which had very few stats but still, it had stats. 1982. And there were probably some before then. Lone wolf was '84. I wonder when my LOTR gamebooks were published... al-azad posted:IMO the biggest appeal of those CYOA books has always been the art which is why e.g. Fighting Fantasy always sought after cult underground artists or dudes who would be discovered by Games Workshop through their CYOA art. I probably own five copies of Firetop Mountain because Russ Nicholson's work is some grungy rear end 80s fantasy. I generally disagree, the story and the rules are what matters. There's a ton of CYOA with few or no pictures. But I will say I adore the unique dark art that is in all of the Lone Wolf books, so you're not entirely wrong.  This stuff is mega rad! But most of the pages did not have art, even in Lone Wolf. Zaphod42 fucked around with this message at 22:28 on Jul 31, 2019 |

Yeah I've actually never heard of LitRPG before, I was just responding to the CYOA derail. That stuff sounds pretty weird. LitRPG sounds like Sword Art Online? Where its a show about a game but not actually a game you can play, you just watch the people play it. Is that about right?

I imagine it works in certain contexts, but a lot of times I've read or seen something like that it just comes across as "and then I attacked the enemy and because my level is 18 and the enemy is level 12 it was very easy to destroy them with my extremely powerful sword attacks that have been buffed by my level 10 sword mastery skill and my level 6 weapon mastery skill and my equipped sword being a +3 to attacks lightning blade"

I don't get that. The only way that even remotely makes sense to me is as some kind of extremely weird toxic power fantasy where you've played so many videogames but your life is also so meaningless and pathetic that the only way you can feel powerful is to say that you're higher level than other people. I mean if anything wouldn't the better story be to make you the underdog? Like "oh no this boss is level 20 and I'm only level 15 my sword does like zero damage! How will our hero triumph?! Ah but I am cool and clever and I trip the boss and he falls into a death pit and dies even though I can't do damage to him and since I'm 5 levels lower I get tons of bonus XP because of how clever I was" or something?? Weird. Werid stuff. Weird internet we have here

cheetah7071 posted:Fate/Stay Night has stat pages for the characters but the text almost never references it. The closest it ever gets is stuff like "this character is good against this character because of <stat-related reason>" but then the actual fight is described like a sane person I've been wanting fiction to do something like this for awhile. On the one hand, I think if you had an author who actually came up with stats, and maybe even did like a roleplaying battle simulation rather than just pre-determining the events, that would actually make for more organic storytelling? Like how GRRM focuses on "gardening" his characters, rather than puppeting them towards some pre-conceived ending? And on the other hand, I think fiction that tied in with roleplaying would by smart vertical integration. Like the Stranger Things D&D box set. Imagine if you had a TV show like Game of Thrones, and every week you could download a D&D adventure and play through what happened on the show, but with your own characters and decisions? The show would provide stats for the NPCs so you could try fighting bosses that the show characters couldn't beat or whatever. "The Night King is a level 20 lich with ..." yadda yadda. But actually having the story itself reference stats is some weird metagaming. That's like... a bad thing. Even when you're playing D&D you're not supposed to be like "Hey my character has 18 CON so I'll do the dangerous thing" like no, you're supposed to be like "I'm the hardiest of the party members! Forsooth!" or whatever the gently caress.

It works a bit for that one manga that's about the girl that reincarnates as just a spider in a video game labyrinth. She used to be an mmorpg-obsessed person so she starts trying to metagame and in the process ends up having to use her skills in ways that will let her win even when she's just a small spider relative to the size of a dragon. It doesn't always work there though because there are plenty of times where it boils down to "I got a cheat skill that helps" or "I got a skill that basically trivializes this" or "I leveled up off-panel and spent points on some skills and I leveled up my different abilities through practice but you didn't know that until I told you just now." Meanwhile, back in 2010, this book came out

Remember if it's individual characters you're basing your choice on and it's not the house leaders and their second-in commands you can poach just about every student onto whichever house you pick as long as you have a B-Rank Support relationship with them and/or high enough skills. Now I'll be disappointed if that AAA Harry Potter game from Warner Bros doesn't let you do that once you become head boy/girl of your house.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:tired: McDonald's alignment chart That was a shitload of words and not a single one mentioned women's teams in any way. Based on what I could find on EA's website it looks like Volta is the new hotness so I am guessing that expanding women's league options is taking a backseat to their new street soccer crap. At a time when women's soccer has never been more popular. I was thinking after the female story character mentioned the idea of going pro in 19, it was a hint that they would add in a women's pro league (specifically the NWSL) in 20, but apparently not. Bummer.

USSF might have sandbagged any NWSL licensing deal with EA in order to goose the revenue numbers for the equal pay legal battle  NWSL/Women's Champions League would own and I would definitely do the career mode if they had that option
