Probably Tales of Arise for me, very clearly unfinished past a certain point and just becomes a miserable slog after the second opening starts playing. Even the batshit insane twist that everything was orchestrated by a sentient carnivorous planet mind controlling aliens couldn’t make me finish it.

If third person shooters count the flamethrower in ratchet and clank that shoots ropy strands of lava that upgrades to instant death liquid nitrogen was cool.

SyntheticPolygon posted:Charles Martinent is the GOAT and his Mario is perfect. I like his Mario more in 64 than the other stuff, but that’s probably just a direction thing and he’s still the GOAT for being the Wario/Luigi/Waluigi actor.

AI Somnium: Nirvana Initiative: I’m a few chapters into Mizkui’s story, on the part with the balloon hunt, speciation/general commentary for anyone who’s also played it since I wanna wait till I beat it to post/look in the actual thread: huh, the fact that the first part of the game is told from the perspective of a mentally unwell man sure isn’t sending off red flags out the rear end or anything. I miss Ryuji as a protagonist more than I thought I would, his tendency to just get weird with it out of nowhere (I AM HERE! HALF MIGHT!) was endearing. Also Iris’s voice actor was really good at pretending to be Moma, one of the funnier parts of both games. Localization seems a lil janky in parts sadly, but I’m guessing a lot of it was done in the pandemic and it doesn’t seem to have affected the dub at least so it could be worse.

The Half Might thing is so good just because of Ryuji’s voice actor, which was kind of funny because I just came off of Live A Live where he voices a stoic terse ninja and then he just goes and does a bad (amazing) Australian accent out of loving nowhere

Kerrzhe posted:i'm gonna be real you guys: i don't think i could stand listening to charles martinet's mario voice for an entire goddamn movie I agree, but he could just not do the Mario voice except for at the end when he has a big hero moment. They got him for one of the Ratchet and Clank games and he just sounds like a normal guy and apparently he’s some dragon in some RPG or something too?

VideoGames posted:I am looking forward to it! I recently played through bloodstained twice in a row and have heard SotN is the precursor to all this. I also played Metroid dread and had a fantastic time. Plus 2D platforming! PS4 version is packaged with Rondo of Blood which is also a super good game so you lucked out.

Whizzing Wizard posted:The only major downside of the rerelease is that I think they used the dull PSP retranslation and not the iconic orginal. I’m gonna be honest, this might be a blistering hot gamer take but imho the original Dracula speech is mediocre compared to the PSP version. Edit: also Veeg, I mentioned before that Rondo of Blood is packaged with most ports of SOTN but not that SOTN is the sequel, so you might wanna play RoB first if you don’t have a strong preference.

Jay Rust posted:Last time i played sotn, the second half was weirdly a bit of a drag, like the levels didn't feel designed right, e.g. having to slowly transform into the bat for a sec because your double jump couldn't quite make it up high enough Iirc the second half was basically done on a whim instead of being a properly planned thing from the ground up like (Bloodstained spoilers)the inverted reality powerup which is why you have the option to just fly everywhere in case jumping doesn’t work.

FirstAidKite posted:Some partners in TTYD have the same function as partners in PM64. Not every partner has a counterpart but there are enough to warrant asking this. Between PM64 and TTYD, which partner counterparts do you like more? PM64 <---------> TTYD Goombario <----> Goombella Kooper <-------> Koops Bombette <-----> Bobbery Parakarry <----> Baby Yoshi Bow <----------> Vivian Iirc the TTYD crew gets way more wrt backstory/dialogue, so it’s kind of a clean sweep aside from Bow. And since it came up TYYD’s art style is better to me too, a lot of the sprites like Mario have different “segments” for the main body/arms/legs that make them feel more authentically like a paper diorama.

cheetah7071 posted:visual novels are pretty cool. like books but with soundtracks. what's not to like. Visual novels are pretty cool but I wish they’d have no/bad voice acting more often so I could speed read without FOMO. Also wish Phoenix Wright had an option to speed up the text on a slider like 13 Sentinels so I could keep the “intent” of the dialogue sometimes being sped up/staggered without it being slow when reading normal dialogue. Those are my only complaints, visual novels are pretty rad otherwise.

AI: Nirvana Initiative BIG SPOILERS: i just got to the big twist of the game and my brain hurts and I don’t think I like it very much. I guess it’s a cool idea that the two younger characters got super immortality genes so you can hardly notice the inconsistencies wrt their appearance but…man.

Walla posted:If you've seen the twist then you're near the end at least. Yeah, even before the twist it felt like I was right at the endgame just going by the gate locks. This game was…well, in the moment I enjoyed it quite a lot, I like pretty all these characters and seeing their stories play out, along with just talking to them as I went about investigating but where AI 1 had one simple twist that retroactively explained everything and probably makes the Cyclops Killer’s actions easy to track on replay, I doubt putting the code in on a replay to start Mizuki’s path ASAP is gonna have the same benefit. Also despite the twist it’s kinda obvious the game was localized in it’s presented order and Mizuki’s half begins to deteriorate in that regard slightly, which is probably only noticeable since AI1 set a high standard. In any case, you played these games with your son, right? I hope you two enjoyed them regardless!

Almost done with AI: Somnium: Nirvana, got the amazing credits sequence and just doing the Hack The Planet scenario unlocked by literally breaking the fourth wall. It was a pretty good use of my time. I peeped into the main AI thread and it turns out there were lots of little hints the whole time about the twist I just missed, like Boss losing her poo poo and threatening to demote Ryuki over what seemed like a lost subject but was really him ducking shooting at a pedestrian, but they really should have had Mizuki/Bibi’s outfit be more generic if they were gonna try the twist of two Mizukis.

Harrow posted:SaGa games are one of the JRPG deep ends. There are several different "deep ends" in the JRPG pool and they don't necessarily intersect. Lots of bigtime JRPG fans don't vibe with SaGa even as they dive happily into other weird or niche JRPGs (and vice versa). SaGa post-Gameboy really just feels like a JRPG trying to be a Western RPG*, with how the games are largely mostly pretty open and the story can vary wildly with some poo poo like Romancing SaGa 2 having entire scenarios play out completely differently depending on when you found them. *I mean this in the best possible way

Vermain posted:the witcher TV show feels like a lot of vaguely connected vignettes more than the mythic archplot that i think they were aiming for, especially in S2. there's some genuinely good writing in parts, and they have a lot of great actors pushing what's otherwise often some drab dialogue and witless scenarios further than they otherwise would get To be fair the first two books that the shows probably mostly been covering are pretty much vignettes that sometimes lay the groundwork for the poo poo that goes down after Geralt adopts Ciri and the series becomes more of an ongoing saga. I think they added/expanded on stuff like Yennifer’s backstory and changed some other things like how Geralt and Dandelion/Jaskier/Julian were originally friends before the series started in the books, but yeah, I found the actual execution kinda lacking versus the books.

Man, Metroid Dread is really committing to “no earlygame morph ball”, it’s kinda frustrating. Not in a janky bad design way, more that it’s more noticeable that I don’t have it than just about any powerup in Metroid ever aside from the Varia Suit and I can’t wait till I find it, which was probably the point. Gonna lol if it’s the penultimate upgrade right behind the screw attack and gravity jump.
