Did anyone here happen to buy the Japanese version of Granblue Fantasy Versus? I was wondering if that version of the game has an english text option, or maybe if the general Asia release that came out today too, has it? I don't want to be patient for the American version.

Bit late to this, but playasia says the Asia release has English subtitles, so I assume the menus etc. are translated too.

So the five or so PSO fans left in Europe may be pleased to know this:

Yeah PSO has always been marketed as an MMO, even if it had barely any of the features you'd expect from one. Apparantly PSO2 is more MMOish but I havn't played it myself so I can't say for sure.

It's really not an MMO at all. The Destiny social features comparison is more accurate. You have a social hub that you log into and you'll come across other players running around. Otherwise when you do quests, you are spawning your own private instance and you can invite like 3 other players to join you. The game though has no open world design of any kind. You're just traveling to small dungeons.

Are you talking about 1 or 2? If the former then I agree it wasn't an MMO, but this didn't stop Sega marketing it as one. I guess 'shared world' would be a better term nowadays?

Have Capcom ever called Monster Hunter an MMO? I think a company saying their game is an MMO has a big effect on weather people consider it to be an MMO.

Only one tiny section of the game is shared though.

So maybe just calling it an online RPG is most accurate? I think my brains still stuck at the time where any multiplayer online RPG was called an MMO, regardless of how many players could enter the same instance at once.

does this stuff make sense in japanese and it's just a butchered translation or is it just supposed to be that way

Normally the former, possibly the later for the Under Night games. I think the devs are just taking the piss at this point.

Thankfully we are not short of good clickfest ARPGs.

e: Wasn't D2 a mess on launch too? I remember hearing about a boss killing lots of players before their PCs finished loading the area the boss was in.

When's PoE2 coming out anyway? The trailer for that looked good fun.

The beta won't be till 'very late 2020' so I imagine we're looking at early to mid 2021.

Oh no.


We'll be able to effectively ignore all of the PoE1 content right? I never want to look at that poo poo again.

I think when rolling a new character you'll choose between the original campaign or the new 7-act one.

quote:

Path of Exile 2 is a new seven-act storyline that is available alongside the original Path of Exile 1 campaign. Both the old and new storyline lead to the same shared Atlas endgame. Path of Exile 2 retains all expansion content that has been created over the last six years and introduces a new skill system, ascendancy classes, engine improvements and more.

Path of Excel lmao. Thanks folks, you've been great.

Wolcen is coming out with a full release next week. I bought the EA demo of that and I think it could be really good.

I was literally about to ask if anyone had played Wolcen! It certainly looks good but I don't know poo poo about it's systems - is there a decent writeup or video explaining the basics? If it's about as complex as Grim Dawn (which I see as being a middle point between D3 and PoE) then I would be very interested.

Does the improved version of Final Fantasy X count? If not then Path of Exile is defenetly uses a skill forest.

The drops are balanced in a way that assumes you'll be trading/haggling with others, but there are a few builds that claim not to require this.

Sort of similar to Divine Divinity which I liked fine enough but drat is it balanced like poo poo where a single skill point is the difference between doing 0 damage and one hit killing.

This was also a thing in Divinity 2: DKS and Original Sin 1's early game. I didn't play enough of either to see weather it was true for the rest of those games but Larian seems fond of the trope.

Oh gently caress yes. Alliance vs ZAFT on the PS2 was brilliant but I had no idea these games where getting localised now.

How was online play on the previous game? Online modes on Japanese games seem to vary quite wildly, particuarly fighting games.

I'm playing through the Resident Evil games and I just finished 7! I think I preferred it over 4 but they're so different it's hard to compare them.

Next up is REmake, does anyone know if the PC port of that was any good? There's a review on Steam that mentions a slowdown bug, but that's from 2015.

Sonic Mania is extremely good. The first Sonic Advance is also quite fun, not quite up to S3&K quality but a very good 2D sonic that manages to incorporate the then-current character designs and abilities without feeling like too much of a departure gameplay-wise. Sonic Advance 2 and 3 have serious issues, though.

Pretty much every other Sonic game after the Genesis is a mixed bag at best, including Sonic CD.

I thought the rush games were pretty good :shobon: they are New Sonic as gently caress though.

If I saw Miyamoto shaking his head because of something I did I wouldn't need to be kicked out - I'd just leave in shame.
