I liked the first third of Endgame where everyone was just cripplingly depressed and there were almost no jokes. The other two Avengers movies (the first one and then the one with Ultron, I didn't actually watch Infinity War) were boring and the same movie but I really like how there's two tiers of Avengers - the ones who do stuff and the ones who don't do anything. Thor and Iron Man and Hulk are killing billions of enemies and cutting holes in spaceships and then you go to the ground level and Black Widow has a gun and shoots two enemies before deciding to just stop worrying about killing things and goes to fix a power line or something, and then Captain America has to punch one guy at a time and if they gang up on him he needs help Otherwise I haven't seen a Marvel Movie since Iron Man 1 which was okay

I totally forgot Redbox existed and has video games. I think that's where I first played Dark Souls over Thanksgiving break back in college? That would be a convenient way to play Ryza because I could never ever justify buying an Atelier game for the full 60

The FFX/FF13 talk was like 15 hours ago but I want to chime in that despite the fact that I HATE a lot about FFX, I think the setting is one of the best parts and they do a very good job of trying to visually and contextually distinguish some kind of geography. I could tell you exactly in what order the zones take place in because the game always does a good job of connecting all of the levels visually. Like, even when specific zones are pretty different, like when Macalania Woods, a thick forest, opens up into whatever the ice zone is called, there's like a full screen of the trees slowly dying out and the path icing over, which is more work than most games do. That being said, the parts where it does a bad job stand out that much more - after the scene where you get Shiva and you fall "under the ice" but you're not underwater I have no idea what's going on there, and then you get magically teleported to Home while Yuna gets teleported somewhere completely different that is a million miles away. FF13 doesn't work on explaining what the places you're in are actually for and how they relate to each other and so every single transition from one zone to another is your characters jumping on a train or a plane or a flying mech or something and teleporting between setpieces. It doesn't feel like a fleshed-out world where the devs thought about, or even cared, how these places existed with regards to geography or how the people in-fiction would have gotten to and from each of these places and is just a series of disconnected interiors, meanwhile FFX takes place almost entirely on a road where you're constantly meeting other people who are also traveling from town-to-town. I will say though that there would be ways to make FFX less linear while still being a pilgrimage. Even in-fiction there are multiple routes you could take to complete it, with the main party starting in Besaid but Yuna's dad started in Bevelle, with Besaid I think being one of the last places they visited (at least this is the fiction the game presents, if they retconned this in the ultimania or something that everyone takes the same route then that's dumb but possible)

At that point why even play a new server if the one server is already endgame and you're just going to bring all the endgame stuff over to the new one. Just keep playing the endgame server?

Cause I found it miserable. What was the state of the buildings, graffiti removed? Because I'm doubting that if it weren't just for the graffiti it would have been a beautiful area regardless. No one has said that graffiti in public spaces should be fair game, but that punishing people for doing graffiti on dilapidated buildings that are already in complete disrepair is silly.

Propaganda Hour posted:Loop Hero comes out this week and I'm extremely excited. I really wanna play loop hero, but I was watching some streams of it earlier and I had to turn them all off because each streamer kept going on very long tirades about how annoying backseat gaming is after some random person explained a game mechanic the streamer didn't understand. I do not know why I don't just unfollow people who do this, I keep saying to myself "maybe them going on really long tirades about how they don't like interacting with their chat was a one-off thing" but it keeps happening!

Rinkles posted:Any similar but better/more polished games? I mean the dungeon crawling part mostly. If you like most of the game except the dungeon crawling part, you might look at the DC2 speedrun that is like...five or six hours long. They build a super fast ridepod that can oneshot like every enemy and skip through all the dungeon stuff as fast as possible

Hwurmp posted:human eyes will never see that I've told this story before but there are very specific ways you can actually get through to a human at Valve and they HATE it when you use those methods, but if you know which ones they are you can use them to get responses. One time I recorded footage of a guy doing some INSANE racism and sent it directly to Valve instead of going through any of their automated bullshit and they sent me an email back saying they would look into it but to please not send them any more gameplay reports via support emails. But they did ban the guy so WHOOPS I have become empowered

Jay Rust posted:Heeeeey Hades is pretty good At the beginning of the game the cast is pretty worthless but once you get access to meta-progression, you'll unlock a perk that boosts the damage you do an enemy that is afflicted with two status ailments, and suddenly upgrading your cast to inflict one of the two needed ailments becomes really important

Jay Rust posted:Well gently caress me, lost my evening to Hades, turns out it’s good, weird 1. I don't think so? Maybe it's possible, positioning-wise you almost never get an opportunity but maybe you can pull off a reach-around with the shield which works on tons of enemies for backstabs so long as you're close to the side 2. Yes

bovis posted:The combat in FF X feels really good. I think my main problem with jrpgs has been feeling the combat is slow but maybe I just haven't played a modern one with faster combat. Also helps I can grind a bit with the 4x speed option If you want to fight the ultimate boss, aside from the specific grinding you'll need to do to get certain items to unlock weapon abilities and just leveling up grinding in general, you will also have to kill five of every enemy in the game which means that emulating the PS2 version to have access to frame limit removal is the ONLY way to play the game

If I feel like I am starting to get tired of a game but still want to beat it, I'll sometimes check out the speedrun for the game and see if there's any quick way to power through whatever part I don't like

Okay I have finally finished all of my math homework AKA beating Loop Hero the game is very fun but there is a lot to know and it feels very good to go from looking at people's screenshots and saying "I don't know how it is physically possible to do what you did" to then totally breaking the game over your knee

I have expressed concerns in the past that it felt like the Atelier team really embraced the uh...enthusiastic fanart that Ryza generated and I was wondering if those sorts of things would manifest themselves in the game, and after watching some choice vtuber clips I can confirm that: yes they have

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I got Loop Hero. It seems kind of neat but I don't know if it has its hooks in me yet? I can see that there's combos and stuff but otherwise it seems kind of straightforward, but not straightforward enough that I can put it in the "idle/incremental game" category which pushes a different set of buttons There's a cadence to the game that is kind of tough to get a hold of and there's a ton of cool little small things to learn, but for me the biggest complaint was that I had trouble telling when the issue with progressing in the game was a skill issue or a metaprogression issue. Like, there's one set of tiles you basically need to beat the game and I see a lot of people trying their absolute damndest to beat the game without them and they just can't do it, so it sucks to see people playing the game who haven't unlocked it yet and you don't wanna tell them that hey actually you'll never win since you haven't unlocked the best item in the game yet
