wuggles posted:It's pretty cool how this happened. Splatoon was originally slated for July and Xenoblade for September. Splatoon wasn't ready, but Xenoblade was, so they swapped the dates. Pretty cool when you announce games close to when they're done and don't hype people up for three years for nothing! It feels like the same thing happened with Mario Odyssey, and yeah, I’m pretty cool with just popping in and announcing you have a new game to release in less than half a year, but idk if anyone but Nintendo has enough loyalty/ubiquitousness to do that and not worry about needing advertising time. …really wish the BOTW team just said they were working on “stuff” until they were done.

The next batch of jobs should help a lot with your problem, you get Not-Bard/Not-Viking/Chemist and a counterattack-centric job, but Valkyrie is so good for physical setups that it’s kinda hard to ignore it. Also not-Viking helps with other jobs’ fragility iirc since they get to draw aggro, unless I’m remembering wrong. Also just turn off random encounters, or at least scale them to 50%.

Bravely Default is probably worth experiencing but I’m gonna be like 100% real and admit I cashed out at the “bad” ending that seemed better than the true ending on top of being not a slog. BS did a much better job of holding my interest partly because it just knows what it’s about and embraces it 100% wrt writing and also because the main story is like half weird new jobs. Also Catmancer. It’s just a blue mage that punches but it’s called Catmancer and summons cats to do blue magic.

How’s that play? Hoshido has so many weird/mediocre units compared to Conquest, it feels real easy to end up with a bunch of losers at endgame.

Goddamn Sekiro is good. I’m kinda bummed that it’s (seemingly) so short (just reached Real Corrupted Monk) but I really wanna do a NG+ run which is weird because the game is just Weeb Punch-Out compared to Soulsborne games where you have all these different build options. But with the prosthetic upgrades being so janky and having to hardcore grind to get all the skills on a first play through I guess things’ll be a little different anyway! Glad I dumped all my money into spirit charms early though, because yikes at that inflation.

You should be able use them as long as you don't have negative TIMIEs, and if you have those, use the negative TIMIEs on an action with a short time duration. Idk guys, all I know is that if I do something that takes a significant chunk of time like 60 seconds and select one the game tells me “TIMIE will not be used? Proceed anyway?”

It’s pretty cool that Sekiro has pocket sand as an attack that’s hideously overpowered on the vulnerable targets. I just realized I had that as an option and just started throwing clumps of it along with fireworks to ignore the third phase of a lategame boss.

I think I found a glitch in Sekiro, there’s a boss from Dark Souls that found its way into Sekiro even though it’s a really bad fit for the gameplay and you have to kinda just sprint around it until it does one of the moves you can punish? It’s named Demon of Hatred and I’m really sure it was supposed to be a Dark Souls III boss but the game just poo poo itself? demon of hatred is the worst kind of bad fight, a boring one, is what I’m getting at

I wish I could nominate Sekiro for a GOTY contender because it’s real good for sure but it has some badly done parts that drag it down like how burn/terror inducing enemies work. Would be my all time favorite From game without that stuff.

I’m just about finished with my first playthrough of Sekiro, and it’s a heavily flawed masterpiece. Still an 8.5/10, don’t get me wrong, but the entire campaign is intermittently littered with janky choices that make the game less fun for like no reason like Burn attacks, apparition enemies, and prosthetic upgrades, culminating in a fantastic final boss that feels like it’s testing everything you learned…but also the arena impedes your ability to read enemy attacks for half the fight. It kinda sucks that I chose this to play after Elden Ring so I could get used to the “standard” souls control layout because this is just Elden Ring but with a grappling hook instead of weapon sets.

Walla posted:My son is all in on the Ace Attorney lore and apparently the original trilogy was supposed to be the end of Phoenix's story but Capcom insisted on shoehorning him into Apollo Justice and then gave the series to a different director afterwards. Honestly I like how they handled Phoenix in the 3DS games, which I was surprised by. Without going into spoilers he basically serves as an NPC mentor figure in Dual Destinies until the very end and the main narrative conceit of Spirit of Justice means it doesn’t feel forced that he has to deal with adversity in his trials because the system is so hedged against him. Heck, I think 6-1 might be my favorite first trial in the series.

cheetah7071 posted:i have never noticed the difference between 30 and 60. considering how much people complain about 30, i consider this a superpower It’s easy to notice when there’s a comparison, like if Hades ran at 30 FPS at launch I doubt I’d notice but playing the DS2 remaster right after Sekiro for a few minutes was pretty jarring wrt how “smooth” the latter felt. Same with the Ratchet and Clank 1 PS4 remake when you play most of the other games. That’s just me though, also it probably affects PC gamers more since you can choose to play every From game at 60 FPS besides Bloodborne.

I’m playing that Live A Live game, it’s a cool old school JRPG. I was a caveman kid who saved his girlfriend from a giant dinosaur and then a cowboy who saved a small town from a horse. Now I’m gonna be a martial arts grandmaster looking for disciples. More JRPGs should really just be weirdass vignettes like this (and do it well, unlike Octopath Traveler).

Man, typing that out I should really just kinda hate Ota instead of being ambivalent/mildly amused by himZ

Waffleman_ posted:I mean, realistically, nothing else this year really has the singular heat to touch Elden Ring. Eeeh, I loved a lot of my time with Elden Ring but it really was too freaking big, and it’s not like you can just cherry-pick not-chalice dungeons relevant to your build without being glued to a guide. Definitely a strong GOTY contender but I probably enjoyed Kirby about as much because it was just maybe 20 hours long to 100%

Sekiro is not as good as some of the thread thinks but it is amazing when it is on point like 80% of the time and a relatively short journey.
