I think it'll transfer your saves but you have to redownload games with every new console even if you have the means to transfer them between the SD cards, your new switch will not read the games themselves since they come from your old switch.

From what I recall I did the transfer, then went ahead and manually redownloaded every single game again. I think you may also have to manually transfer screenshots. So really the hardware transfer is more of an account transfer kind of thing but it does keep your saves

Yeah Demifiend gets five Press Turns, will auto kill you with Gaea Rage if you don't defeat one of his demons within five turns, and I think he fucks you up if you take out more than one of his demons in a turn too. He also has like six or seven potential allies he can summon too. Apparently harder than DDS Demifiend by quite a bit.

And you gotta pay extra to access this ball bustin bullshit??

Different strokes I guess, I'm probably just weak but getting through any base SMT game is hard enough for me

Well I'm stupid

Forgot I hadn't saved in smtv after the first boss and got wiped out by a stupid low level mob. At least I know I can beat the boss but man I don't want to spend my Sunday morning replaying content

Going to go get high n clean the apartment instead I guess before I hop back in. I miss Charon

Oh yeah I forgot the games are very famous for being really easy to navigate and understand, my bad how could I have been so silly. “Ease of accessibility” yes sir, that’s what people think of when they think of Dark Souls!

Internet hyperbole has really skewed people's perception of the game. It's not the most beginner friendly game but that's because its a survival action puzzle game rather than a mindless hack n slash.

Other than a few minor obtuse things like some stats not being clearly explained, dark souls, a pretty bog standard video game. It's just not going to play itself like most games that were being released at the time

I thought Dark Souls was a very intuitive and organic experience

You and nearly every developer under the sun given how influential the franchise has been in AAA as well as indie single player experiences

What's funny is I don't think they did much of anything new, they simply brought us back to the gold standards that had already been established by franchises like mega man, Metroid, Castlevania (well some of em, there's a few stinkers), etc

Tight game design where flow matters, something that developers focused on less and less as they wrestled with having to create worlds and experiences in 3d

Very true, I think the tight and punishing action renaissance it brought on is only one flavor of peak gaming experiences. If you're into that specific experience though, god drat they are so many good games to play right now. I'm currently having my face melted off by nioh 2, I got back into it now that there's that PS5 patch

But yeah I like me some open world chill experiences as much as the next guy too. Botw owns

Quick Dark Souls question: Is it more cheat-y to summon some bros or to put down your own summon sign for bosses you haven't fought yet?

While I don't think summoning is cheating, putting your own sign to help others is basically a form of training and learning boss patterns

I'd say it's the true Chad option because then you can absolutely clown on the boss by yourself whenever, wherever and however once you've mastered its moveset. This type of practice is the trick to crazy runs like SL1 runs. Bonus points for jolly cooperation and just having a generally good time while you actively get gud

I guess I could see it maybe in the sense that I would feel like I cheated myself out of the experience of having to learn n master a boss before I get rewarded with more increasingly challenging content with new art assets. But that's only if you specifically care about getting gud. To me, it's a lot of fun getting past a hump but one of my friends considers it mental torture

Play how you like though that's why it's called play and not work

I think I tried to do completionist stuff once or twice during college and quickly realized that holy poo poo this is just as tedious and awful as my minimum wage kitchen job except I'm not getting paid. Also, there's no cute college girls to flirt with while I flip decent burgers and cook terrible pizza ( I had no control over the ingredients y'all)

It's literal labor! More power to those who enjoy it, but no thank you. We are al doomed to work for substandard wages until the day we die in this capitalist hellscape

I'm not working during my free time. The completionist literally gets paid probably much more than most of us and I do enjoy a video or two of his but what an absolutely miserable way to make a living

E: Wonder if he ever outsources any of the actual gaming part to interns/employees and is more focused on content production. Like he's not actually picking up the controller and losing a thousand hours of his life on Hyrule warriors for one video is he? I would hope not when he has a whole team

Lol dude genuinely thinks video games are more enriching/stimulating than books.

There's a reason video games don't hurt to play, whereas books can be a chore or challenge, not much of a mental workout when it comes to video games. Play has its value when it comes to learning sure but for the most part you are getting absolutely nothing of substance from video games other than pure fun/ relax dumb brain time.

Nothing wrong with fun relax dumb brain time fwiw

Cognitively speaking, there are very very different things going on when you read a book versus when you play a video game. This isn't some smug attempt to slam video games or anything. I love wasting time on games, I'm more making a point about the physiology behind reading a book. Tbh I've read maybe three books over the last few years n have maybe played hundreds of different video game titles? That's because I'm lazy and love to have fun during my free time

Of course we all know that posting on the forums is the most detrimental activity to cognitive growth, this has been backed by decades of research

I really need to get back to beating persona's little brother soon, got to the second main area boss and got distracted with other stuff. I'm really loving it but god those graphics bum me out man especially since the game has such a strong art direction/atmosphere

I'm also playing nioh 2 on my PS5 which is also all sorts of fun demon murdering action, it's extremely rough going from that to SMT 5, not expecting PS4 visuals but SMTV seems rough even for a switch game. This game deserves better!!

I consider returnal the first true PS5 / next gen game and it's incredibly good for people who enjoy rogue lites. There's quite a bit of metroid and mega man DNA in there too, so I think it'd be pretty popular with the switch crowd.

As for Atlus RPGs yah no idea why they haven't drowned the eShop with lazy ports, they were pretty active with the Nintendo DS /3DS. I would pay full price for most of their catalog those bastards know I would

Plus didn't smtv end up breaking sales records for the franchise and nocturne sold pretty well? Wtf Atlus smh my head

It's so good, tough space woman having to survive a hostile nightmare alien environment is extremely Metroid, as is the running around collecting resources as you prep for that biome's boss

You feel so agile too, when you have your full tool set, it plays exactly how my dream Mega Man X4/Zero game but made with 2021 graphical fidelity standards and 3d would play. Movement wise anyways, the structure is more of a rogue lite

I thought Undertale was cool and I really liked the bullet hell turn based battle system hybrid, makes me wonder why more turn-based RPGs don't get playful like this and blend in other genres

Also, I think I paid like $20 for it so I thought it was really good for its price. Definitely trying hard to be quirky but with such great art and music, I think it gets a pass.

Anyways, I got around 12 hours of gameplay out of it and really enjoyed my playthrough. The weirdos who are really into it make me uncomfortable though, and I haven't thought of the game much since then. Still, I think it's status as a classic is justified even if it's not your cup of tea

The music was so good!

This entire scenario sounds more like a dumb, edgy attempt at humor to me. I mean, you'd have to be a legit lunatic to look at a NPC annoying you with insane rants and go "Yeah, that dumbass-fake shopkeeper sounds like I should build my real life around"

You're overthinking their intentions though I didn't help with the word propaganda. It's more of a nod imo. The goal isn't to radicalize people via an obscure indie game, someone over there just wants to let their audience know that they like jp/agree with his rhetoric

It's not really funny enough to be "edgy" then again I remember that game did have pretty terrible dialogue so maybe I'm the one overthinking a lovely non joke

Yeah a full remake of two meaty GBA classics. If it was a straight port or a remake of just one game sure I'd scoff at the price but 60 for a two game remake is standard/fair pricing.
