I'm not really clear on how or whether it's going to interweave into the core concept yet. I have some speculation but it gets into spoilers.

Physically, it's kind of like they just added another planet to the solar system, with a bunch of cool poo poo and mysteries to figure out (but in a way that makes sense as it why it wasn't there before).

I just bought Records of Lodoss war: Deedlit in wonder labyrinth (what a title!) from a steam sale. Saw this run at last SGDQ but skipped most of the run because I immediately thought I want to play it myself and to avoid spoilers. Took a while! But as an avid Metroidvania fan it looked like just my thing.

Incidentally, lately I've been going through the games in the Castlevania: Advance collection, and Deedlit might have to wait until I finish with Aria of Sorrow, but at least there's some interesting stuff in the backlog (still need to play Harmony of Dissonance too)

Well, a couple of rungs down in popularity:

Solasta: Crown of the Magister just came out and is getting good buzz.

So I got The Forgotten City over the weekend… and already beat it? At least, I got one of the endings (2). I kinda wanna go back and get the others. It’s kinda weird though, since there’s no new game + it looks like I just have to reload a save. Which means the revelations I got from my ending can’t really influence the world, like I can’t confront certain people with the information I gathered from that ending. Also, that ending required rescuing someone, so I guess i just have to leave them captured and walk away to continue playing? Just feels weird

The very first map of the board game campaign can easily exhaust you even if you think you're otherwise doing well simply because you either play too conservatively or burn too many cards for too little effect. The early Guildmaster maps are a lot more forgiving, often by being shorter length.

More like Star New Valley

Looks great though, for realsies.

Thanks for all the tips for Yakuza 0, all: it's definitely helping me with my journey.

Despite all the help, though, common battles on the street were incredibly frustrating affairs where I was fighting enemies that stuck together like glue and out-prioritized all my attacks with an endless barrage that stunlocked me to death. I mean, on one hand, I was like, yeah, I am playing on hard and this is a kind of realistic outcome of a 1-against-many fight where getting knocked down is death since they'll keep you down, and I should play strategically by always avoiding encirclements and forcing a 1-on-1 as much as possible, but it got to the point where I knew something had to be wrong: no common fight should be this egregious, hard or not. And sure enough, I found the solution: it was because I equipped the charismatic autobiography. Those damned yanki that gifted it to me!

Seriously, what a beginner's trap equipping that was: it honestly made me consider quitting the game forever when I really didn't want to, so I'm glad I figured it out. What bothers me the most, at the risk of sounding like sour grapes, is everyone is so smug and tutting victims like me about 'not reading the item description' as if it was incredibly obvious that it makes all enemies turn into gods among men. Hopefully they are just joking, because to me, "those who see it are likely to attack you and try to take it from you by force," just sounds like it would make random encounters on the street happen more often, or that they'd chase you down harder, or that they're more difficult to stealth by.

Now, it didn't fix it altogether as I still found the combat stiff and awkward before and after I equipped that book, but I'm glad I got that cleared up. At least it had the positive benefit of making everything practically a cakewalk now since I had to get used to battling gods among men!

Still no FFVII Remake performance issues about 5 hours in. I am really enjoying it. The Jessie mission was fantastic - there is a ton of charming dialog/slapstick/body language throughout so far. Even the new scenes remind me of the original. Glad I stayed in the dark on this one.

in fact i'm honestly not sure what exactly most of ninjoatse.cx's specific complaints refer to. specifically the "being too far" and "knowledge of shorthand" bits; i'd love to read an explanation so I have some context

if it helps any, the bosses can be a right fucker and a half (for some folks, not so much - seems to vary widely). here's an example of me beefing it on a mid-game boss

i love this game's entire aesthetic. real good music too

It's a mix. Most of the puzzles are somewhere between your average Zelda and the easier La Mulana ones, and the more obscure ones are for secrets and are closer to FEZ's post-game puzzles but I'd argue nowhere near as frustrating.

Feels like I should wait for a patch or two on Weird West.

Fat Samurai posted:

I've played 30 minutes of Crystal Project and the starting area had 5 slime combats (which is completely expected for this type of game) and 5 chests scattered around the area which required platforming with a camera that hid your character pretty often and bad controls and to get (which is not). The way my brain works, I need those chests, no matter how disappointing the contents are.

Does the game keep on doing that? That's not exploration, that's a waste of time.
