Hah, not Ace Combat. This is a series that thrives on insane cinematic bullshit like flying through tunnels, giant laser towers and jousting but with JETS while spanish guitar plays.

I was butting my head against some enemies (Albiet enemies in an area that I am clearly supposed to go to later, and it respawned me in a room with a locked door. With no way out. Oh, and it autosaved. Provided you're far enough in, you can also just teleport to a fast travel point from the map screen. I think that ability unlocks when you hit the town hub, but I'm not totally sure.

Armor-Piercing posted:Also a good game on sale, puzzle game Tametsi is $1.50 (50% off) for the next few days. It's the same sort as HexCells and Patterna, and the difficulty is somewhere between the two, which is nice because Patterna is often a bit too much for me. The worst part of these kinds of puzzle games is when you think you have your logic right, but messed up somewhere and hit a mine. Not because you failed, but because the added information messes up the puzzle flow greatly. Very depressing. Thanks for the rec though, great game for the price.

Yeah, my experience with Odyssey was running around the first island, doing all the quests and feeling super satisfied at its conclusion and thinking "Well, that was pretty cool! What are there, like, 10 more areas like that? That'd be good." And then finally zooming out the map. And feeling fear in my map marker addicted soul.

ZearothK posted:Oh, I missed that update, the pre-release one was rather grim in perspective, good thing they've managed to turn a profit! Albus is there to basically sit in front of entire groups of melee enemies taking no damage and countering them to death. Retaliation is one hell of a drug and you can stack his dodge really effectively. I still haven't quite figured out how to use Irene effectively, personally. She's very hard to kill but it also feels like she doesn't do enough damage. Maybe I need to grind out some fire related masteries somewhere.

When I went to look up some info on Masteries I found out about that system and also that there is YET ANOTHER similarly complex system later, making your own robot buddies so uh yeah this game has probably too many goddang systems but I like it anyways. The plot is, while anime, surprisingly good? They certainly manage to get a lot of pathos out of some dipshits with spoons on their faces. I think I hit some sort of ridiculous breakthrough with Sion and now he's hitting in the 5k range while the rest of my party is lucky to hit 1k. And he has by far the best AoE in the group. Boy is a total monster. Edit: By the way, anyone know if there's any benefit to maxing both of a characters advanced classes? I see absolutely no reason to switch Sion off Black Mage if there isn't.

Man, Troubleshooter gets pretty hard as you progress. I've got my party of 5 around level 26 or so and I keep barely scraping by the story missions. Maybe it's time for me to figure out how to actually craft some better equipment and take a long look at my masteries. Either that or I need to learn to NOT send Albus and Irene up front alone and get them murdered by lucky crits.

ZearothK posted:Yeah, if you came in from XCOM the first few chapters could probably be sleepwalked through even on Hard, but around the 20's it really picks up on the challenge. I haven't gone into item crafting yet, but retuning Masteries is probably the best way to make characters stronger, don't sleep on the percentage or per level ones, plus you probably unlocked a lot of good ones from subclass level ups. Yeah, I've been doing them as I go along. I think my main problem is really just that the White Tiger gang is ridiculously OP. Their random gun guys have an ability that increases their hit rate if one of them missed, their melee guys have loving Impulse Field, their advanced melee guys seem to have a constantly 100%+ block rate, they have basically no mages to easily gank... Their snipers are pretty horrifying too, that map where you're trying to fight past a barricade while snipers rain down shots at you was a total bloodbath that ended with LITERALLY my entire cast killed, had to limp past the finish line with generic police officers.

I think my problem with the Mastery Board is I'm addicted to Shukuchi and making sets in general, to the point where I sometimes forget to even check if I LIKE the set I'm making. But really mostly it's an addiction to Shukuchi. Gotta go fast! And die fast, apparently.

Tae posted:The white tiger group is basically going to force you to retreat and barely survive for a while. Always group up, use the cops as meatshields if you can, Shield cops are basically bait in Wall mode when you have them. Raise the block/evasion on Albus/Irene as much as possible to tank through. No, I mean, John isn't even White Tiger, he's the Spoonist guy who becomes literally immortal for 4 turns when his buff triggers and is also insanely powerful and capable of one shotting whoever he hits. I still won because I ran away until his buff ran out and then killed him with Sion (and then he revived again with second heart/third heart and killed sion and I had to finish him off with cops and Anne but details).

Also on Troubleshooter news man this mission where you have to go through warehouses loving sucks if you don't realize what's going to happen once you do find what you're looking for. I had my crew spread out looking for Mr.Lee and then everything very quickly went to poo poo. Second try I just kept everyone together and it went flawlessly. The more I play the more I realize splitting anyone off the main squad is a terrible idea, even Hero Irene.

I just got Ray and I can't quite figure out what her place in the team is. I guess she's one of the characters that only really starts blooming once I get her into the advanced classes, but her default stuff has not really been all that useful, compared to invincible god tank Irene and Sion's hilarious ability to just destroy entire teams of enemies. I'm still really not sure what class I like everyone in. There's some serious pros and cons to each. It's good balance, I suppose, but drat if it doesn't make it hard to make a decision. While invincible god tank Irene is pretty great, you can do some silly stuff with Martial Artist too. Edit: Troubleshooter related, of course. Man, it WOULD be nice to have a thread, but I don't begrudge others for not wanting to take on the monumental task of creating an OP for it. Mechanics upon mechanics...

Yo, fellow Troubleshooters, how the gently caress do you do the Scent of the Past mission as Irene? She just seems to get instantly bodied before I can even get a turn to turn on her ultra block armor, and this mission is apparently the source of several Irene-exclusive masteries.

I think in Irene's case she just has to get her rear end kicked and maybe re-do it at a higher level, because Luna is a monster. You can complete that encounter even if you lose that fight. Oh. That'd... Make sense. I kept restarting after I lost the fight, figuring there was no way I could get the rewards if I did. Welp.

Troubleshooter continues to be really good but it's also really WEIRD in a lot of ways. Like how you can get access to masteries (think of them like equippable skills) for classes none of your characters can actually access. I guess these are futureproofing for future characters, but it's still very irritating to see this drat Negate Enemy Counters mastery in my inventory and have absolutely no way of using it.

Karanas posted:What are goon opinions on Code Vein? It's pretty good, has solid enough mechanics and interesting ways to build your character that are also pretty easy to change on the fly to try different specialties. Plot is extremely anime and so are the graphics so stay away if allergic. The DLC is largely not worth it so don't worry about it either. There is one zone around the 1/3rd mark of the game that is infamously annoying to traverse but if you make it through it things never get THAT bad again. It's also a game with a pretty decent sort of difficulty selection considering it's a single difficulty soulslike, in that you can make the game a lot more hardcore by not bringing a companion NPC along.

It'd be easy if it was just muscle memory but any recipe that has a variation just slows me down dramatically. Like, even basic cookies gently caress me up since I need to stop and read and parse which button to click is the one that matches the required flavor. I try to fill in my menu with non-variation recipes but that's not always an option. This would maybe be easier if I was playing on keyboard instead of mouse but that would require way more keyboard skill than I have.

Whoa, agree to disagree. I felt 2 was better than 3 personally. More character customization options that aren't covered in tape for no reason, a better storyline (Still... Extremely anime, but I liked it more anyways), and it has the good bullet crafting instead of the nerfed stuff in 3. I liked the Blood Arts in 2 more than the Burst Arts in 3 and 3 is also missing I WILL WIIIIIIIN mode which is just depressing. Besides, if you get 2 you also get the 1 remake, so hey.

Occultatio posted:Question for the thread: I'm buying some random DLCs for games I like, and am ~$5 short of the $30 coupon cutoff. Which of these three games should I add to my cart? I'm gonna be a contrarian here and recommend against Journey. I'm sure back when it released it was incredible, but I bought it to complete a sale (like you) and it's... It's fine. I guess. It's also like an hour and a half long. The only really interesting thing about it is the voice-less and text-less multiplayer thing, which, admittedly, turned out to be kinda interesting and endearing, but it wasn't enough to carry the game. It's just too dang short and doesn't do enough with what few mechanics it has. I know this thread has a lot of people who lean on the short games being good side, but surely an hour and a half for 11 bucks is a bad deal for anyone? Edit: Man this is a terrible snipe.

You can slide your mouse through any recipe without variation really fast! Which means I'm really good at making lovely recipes and really bad at making the actually difficult stuff! It's terrible and I don't know why I play this way but I'm too used to it to change now!
