Mister Facetious posted:

Seriously considered replacing Secret of Mana with Uncharted Horizons 2 though

If you haven't tried it yet I strongly recommend you check out Horzion's Gate on Steam. It's very much "what if Uncharted Waters 2 but with a dash of FFT jobs and tactical group combat instead of duels." It seems to have a decently active modding community via Steam workshop as well though I haven't taken the dive into those yet.

Super Metroid was the main fixture at GDQ for a long time but that was mostly because of the whole 'save/kill the animals' thing.

Until one year when they did a low% race and three out of four died to Phantoon and someone got real pissy about the whole thing, anyway.

Probably less pissy and more nervous because save/kill the animals is/was their biggest single donation topic and that race made it very clear that even 4 top tier runners could still brick the race. Plus having only 1 person to watch because the other 3 died is pretty boring. I remember watching it and thinking "wow I wonder if we're going to see a bricked run and what the GDQ staff will do if that happens."

Oatsngoats' run of Super Metroid Impossible was better anyways, even with the Ridley deaths.

Probably not the GB gens. Depending on version every monster has different sprites in those versions and space was a legitimate concern.

They were still likely coded as a single game, with a copy then used to make the other version. If space would've allowed them to just have a single code with flags to toggle I'm sure they'd have tried to go that route (assuming they didn't try and hit those space concerns then change course).

because the revelation that the version difference in the latest game is just a simple code flag is shining a light on it?

Even as a kid never thought that they coded two near-identical games twice (maybe using Unity made it even easier for them though). :shrug:

Oxyclean posted:

I just find it funny people are defending it with "it encourages trading & you can find a friend with the other version" like everyone doesn't already know that, and as if no other game has managed to figure out how to encourage trading without selling multiple versions.

No other game has ever come close to Pokemon's level of success either. You seem to think Gamefreak hasn't "figured out" something when they've figured out that what they have works and prints an absolutely obscene amount of money and so they have no reason to change course.

DQ7 is so drat long that if you aren't running from fights you're going to be plenty leveled and easily spend 100 hours on the main game. Post-game will require grinding but that's a give with super bosses.

I'm looking SMTV a lot so far even though I've barely gotten anywhere. The economy is really tough at the start, I hope I get more macca soon.

Also the Mitama, is there any trick toward knowing their element? Or is it a complete guess. I guess there are the items that tell you the weakness and then I could pass and swap out what I need to kill one.

Either take your chance using a hit-all item on 4 of them or use a spyglass and then delay until someone with that element can attack, or that your MC can use an element item. Even a single mitama gives more macca than both items cost.

ITT: lots of people who have never played Angband, the game that Diablo is directly inspired by, and can't wrap their heads around the idea that a bunch of guys in the 90s who loved roguelikes wanted to make their own Rogue like/lite.

I'd love to see metrics for how many people turn off the attack animations in Pokemon games and how quickly they do so. There might be some people who want to see a Flamethrower or Fang Crush hundreds of times during their playthrough of a game but they're also going to buy and play the games regardless.
