Nintendo is always doing poo poo like this under the hood.

To this day there are people who actually believe SNES-SImCity has 2000 maps saved on that tiny cartridge and think the reason the game needs 14 seconds to load a map is "game is old".

In truth SimCity has 2000 seeds saved on the cartridge and when you select a map, the loving procedural generator Nintendo put inside generates the entire map from that seed. That's the reason the game needs so long to show the map: The map isn't loaded, until you enter a number, the map simply doesn't exist, it's just a number!

All just to prevent 2000 actual maps bloating up the cartridge.

It feels wrong to be taking such glee in this. I am totally sympathetic to finding out a game isn't what you expected (Golden Sun 3: "surely THIS time they'll have a complete game, the Gamestop clerk who sold it to me promised"), but it's a completely different series which has had four other games so folks should have known.

People have known. Game reviewers aren't people, though

To be fair, I was waffling a bit about buying another game this month, but this is basically a certificate of excellence as far as I'm concerned. I'm slowly raising priority from "probably Christmas?" to "Day-One Buy!" for SMT V

sometimes a game falls down on its own merits and people illustrate that by comparing the game's failings to games that are better

when a platformer sucks and somebody compares it to a good platformer, that is not the same as refusing to evaluate it on its own merits

i havent read the reviews or played the games so can't say whether the reviewers are being dumb or not. on the one hand, game reviewers are frequently dumb, but on the other hand people who get mad at game reviewers frequently are as well

ive never played an smt game. i liked p4 golden. ill probably give it a shot, but probably not at $60 cause its almost certain i wont be able to devote jrpg levels of time to it. but when its $15 or $20 ill prob give it a shot!

Uh.. I would be careful with that decision. I've tried games from both series and I really liked SMT and coouldn't really get into Persona. If you liked P4 there's a good chance SMT V will work on you like holy water on a vampire.

That's not true. The last 2 mainline games were on the 3DS, as well as a number of spin offs. Plenty of Nintendo players are familiar with SMT.

Yeah, I mean that's how I stumbled into the series. I saw one day the DS-version of Strange Journey and was like "SMT? Like that SNES-game?" I just had to know what that game was about, and liked it so much I later re-bought the remaster for my 3DS.

Hell, if it came out again for Switch, I would buy it a third time, just so my character, secret agent John Geary, could travel to Antarctica to unravel demonic mysteries again

What would be the top 5 SNES JRPG's that aren't Chrono Trigger?

Like I'm not talking about it when talking Final Fantasy, but CT is a class of its own.

Excluding CT, my top five SNES-RPGs would be:

1.) Lufia II
2.) Secret of Mana
3.) Terranigma
4.) Illusion of Time
5.) Breath of Fire II

Final Fantasy 6, Final Fantasy V and a couple others would be part of the list if this were a top ten, I'm just not listing them because it's the top 5!!!

Mister Facetious posted:

I completed lufia 1 but lufia 2 bored me really fast with its ridiculously high encounter rate, so I'll politely ask you to argue for it.

Never played terranigma, I'll have to look that one up

Lufia 2 has a zero encounter rate, as all enemies are there on the battlefield. If you walk into everyone instead of paralyzing them with your arrows, that's on you (though I liked the battle system enough I still tried to kill everything, it's just that I could just walk away if fatigue set in)

Lufia 1 never came out in Germany, and if you play Lufia 2 first it just looks like an uglier, worse version of Lufia 2 so you can't really get into it anymore

I wonder if future patches will improve performance though it really feels like the switch is really struggling to run this between sluggish menu and battle/overworld transitions and panning the camera feeling all sorts of jank

Huh. Did not notice this at all and I'm playing handheld. Everything runs smooth as butter. Odd.

Now Astria Ascending, that's a game that runs not very well. (Combat and exploration are mostly OK, but AA hurls chunks every time you go into the menus.)

KingSlime posted:

Really? It isn't hitting a steady 30 FPS on my OLED switch in handheld and it looks pretty blurry / ugly compared to docked.

I think the size of the world justifies the performance and it's an RPG so it's fine but just try to do any fast movements and move the camera quickly in the overworld. I'm seeing a bit of stutter.

Docked is a little bit better n the models are marginally improved. Basically it looks like all the gameplay previews / footage was in docked mode so the handheld graphics threw me off at first. Pop in is also not great, but I think that can't really be helped

Also, I'm not sure if the transition when exiting a menu or a battle is deliberately slow and animated to look like it chokes up for just a tiny second, or if that's the game actually loading

It feels overall slightly less snappy than nocturne which while that's so much older game, It was also criticized for poor optimization

I don't play docked so I can't really compare. Also sadly my eyes had multiple laserings over the last month and are still not done, so comparing slightly different levels of blur is straight out for the foreseeable future anyway. Stutter is something I definitely haven't seen so far. :shrug:

Playing through SMTV having never played an SMT or Persona in my life before. I hosed around for ages before getting to the first boss and it still felt super overtuned, but hey I beat it on my second attempt so maybe that's just how bosses are.

Then I lost an hour of progress getting ganked by a trash encounter right as I was about to touch a save point. It's been a while since I've played a game without generous checkpointing.

game cool so far

It's important to remember re: trash mobs that you can just no-sell a dangerous fight if there is at least one demon in that group you already have. Then you can talk to them, they'll all high-five your party and go home, end of fight. Nice if you get surrounded or if your way forward is clogged by too many encounters for your taste. :v:

Welp I got to the second boss and either this game expects me to grind my rear end off or there's some trick to preventing enemies from taking the protagonist from full health to 0 in a single turn. I got an item to block force attacks, but you can only bring three of those to a fight. I got some sidequests I've been putting off so we'll see if those are any help.

To point out an example, when I had trouble with a stronger-then-normal midboss vomited out by the second red cancer globe, I stun-locked her for 4+ turns with sleep, and also reduced her hit- and evasion-chances with some spells my demons had on hand. Being able to charm and hitting like a truck didn't help her at all.

So I suggest trying some status-effects, see if the boss has some weakness, etc.

Which Demon would you go on a road trip with? I�d of course choose Mothman

My current favorite is Cait Sith, simply because that fucker managed to fake me out twice before joining the party. At first I didn't now that fucker would sometimes ask for money (repeatedly) at the start of a battle, so I misjudged this little highway robber as someone eager to join me and gave him 1k of my early game money, only for him to be really thankful and ending the battle.

But because he "let me get away" the encounter was still there and of course one stab later, the fucker was back again asking for more money. :shepface:

The second time we had a nice, philosophical discussion which ended with, "hey, I think you're a swell dude, no reason to fight" (paraphrased) and then he walked off instead of joining, leaving me to fight the rest of the battle minus one enemy.

On the third attempt he shook me down like the rat bastard he is, but eventually did join. The balls of that cat are literally Jupiter-sized! :allears:

SMT V update!

I've finally made it to the first boss and beyond! More demons to collect! Gotta catch' em all!!!

Ahem. Great fun so far. Though it's typically me that I spend so much time exploring, recruiting, fusing and sidequesting that I was strong enough to take down the first boss in one go, which apparently is not normal in a Shin Megami Tensei game?

Due to a funny misunderstanding, I faced the boss with my planned strengths and weaknesses reversed from what I actually needed, but I also went into the battle with two healers, the two characters with the most glaring weakness also had strong magic attacks corresponding to the boss' weakness and by pure chance the boss was also weak against the status effect one of my demons could cause. Sleep.

There's something deeply hilarious of watching a giant monster sitting there and taking a snooze mid-battle, while my party was using the suddenly free turns to heal up and re-fill their MP. My mermaid even managed to do the same thing again during the battle, gifting us another reprise from the endless barrage of AOE-attacks.

A couple turns were chancy, but thanks to sleep allowing me to refill my healers mid-battle, we eventually won the damage race!

Now next time I should probably listen better to an important NPC telling me boss weaknesses, instead of hoping I accidentally have the right skills on hand after blundering into the boss battle. :shepface:

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...; Grimey Drawer

hmm

ah

Holy poo poo, if this game made you stop playing Switch that hard, it must be the worst game ever made. Is it really so bad that you couldn't stand touching your Switch anymore?

It's okay. I got the joke.

Thank you. I was slowly dying inside with every serious answer

Full list if anyone's curious:

Sea of Stars- JRPG throwback by Messenger people. Looks very good and the music is clearly good. Somehow a prequel. Holiday 2022

Aliisha 3D puzzle platformer? Looks fine. Motion controls and touch screen. It's been a while we've seen that I think. Probably won't bother. Spring 2022

Loco Motive Point and click adventure. Looks cute and quirky if you like the genre. Murder mystery on a train. Summer 2022

River City Girls 2 Beat 'em Up. Looks smooth. I suppose they would've addressed critiques?

Those sound all interesting! I'll keep a look out on those. Also :lol:

. I already have the first part of River City Girls. I guess I better try beating it again before the series gets to double-digits

Conservative propaganda in video games is never just a troll, buddy

Like haha check out this hateful and actively harmful rhetoric that we put in here for a joke lol we are such scamps!!

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

by that logic every goon posting john galt speech is actually agreeing with john galt

that seems very dumb

even dumber than that unknown NPC-programmer, actually

There's a *lot* of platforming in SMTV's overworld. I'm lvl 40 and 15 hours in and haven't seen a dungeon yet I think?

Oh, this is just precious.

*Me, playing Etrian Odyssey: Weird, 20+ hours in and 10+ levels down, and I haven't seen a single dungeon so far*
