Unlucky7 posted:Are progress and item unlocks completely separate or should I make a different campaign run for main and JotL? Sorry I hope that makes sense. It's basically treated as a big sidequest chain, accessible whenever you want, with whatever items and progress you have. It's basically just another node on the world map.

It really really doesn't break anything. There are some decent items but nothing outlandishly powerful, and the missions aren't easy enough for it to be easy exp or money either. They're just... More missions.

Each of them buys different things. It allows you to have a variety of possible rewards and an easier way to balance different kinds of unlocks without having to do consider different pricing structures if you used a single currency.

You can now high-five your pawns and it probably raises some garbage inclination that makes them want to high five you instead of actually contribute to combat and I can't wait to get annoyed at it. Zero irony.

Owl Inspector posted:????? False beyond belief. Co-op would wreck the carefully maintained system of pawns being absolute morons. Half the fun in DD is in the pawn system and co-op would greatly reduce its value. Having competent party members who don't just run off to grab skulls in the middle of a fight is antithesis to the DD way of life.

Black Griffon posted:I'm glad I don't have to worry about whether the ship Obra Dinn in the game Obra Dinn is too woke or if Dave the Diver is part of the leftist trans agenda trying to censor conservatives, it makes it so much easier to just play my little games. It's not like both sides don't engage in this kind of nonsense behavior. Just look at the drama around Hogwarts Legacy. There's multiple places on the internet that treat the very name of the game as a curse word and refer to only as "that wizard game" and that's just absolutely ridiculous. Not saying Hogwarts Legacy is a good game or anything, it's exceptionally mediocre, but treating it as some sort of ultimate enemy is silly.

Brian Bucklew doesn't really truck with weirdos and there's a bunch of negative reviews on steam from people who are sad that they got kicked out of the CoQ discord for being right wing losers. You JUST said you liked that you didn't have to worry about the politics of a game, but you do. At least don't go all double standards on things. You may not have to worry if a game is "too woke" but you worry if it's "too un-woke" or whatever. You're doing the same thing from the opposite side.

The 7th Guest posted:Dragon Quest Treasures is now on Steam. i gave it a 7/10 last year, it ended up near the bottom of my top 50, but that doesn't mean it's a bad game. It's just a bit unspectacular and looks like a budget game It should be illegal to talk about this game and not mention the voice lines, which are constant and repetitive to the extreme. Every monster has like two voice lines which they will repeat every 5 seconds. It drove me utterly insane.

Runs fine for me on a 3060 on 1080p mostly High settings except for a small handful of areas and, weirdly enough, a noticeably long stutter whenever I go into/out of a menu.

Jack Trades posted:Not even getting stable 60 fps on a 3060 running at 1114x626 resolution is not what I would personally call "runs fine". I mean, it doesn't look like 1114x626 or whatever, it just looks like 1080p to me and it runs at a solid 60 except for very rare occasions besides the menu thing (so far only this one grove that had a lot of particle effects going on). I dunno DLSS always just looks fine to me I guess.

It's okay but not worth full price, it got massively overinflated press due to being one of a very small number of PS5 exclusives. Like it's not a bad game by any means but considering the year we're having it's very low priority.

John Lee posted:Slim decks aren't optimal in Slay the Spire Oh man you reminded me I got Erannorth Chronicles when it went on sale aaaaages ago with the intent of getting into it but took one look at the initial setup and noped out due to not really being in the mindset for that level of complexity at the time. Trying it now and after some initial confusion I realized the game is a lot more straightforward than it appears. I feel like it does itself a disservice in not having a smoother tutorial/onboarding experience. But I played enough on a blindly created human knight guy in the easiest mode to understand what's going on and am going to restart on the "slightly harder than easy" difficulty. There's something kinda wild about a roguelike deckbuilder that's structured more like an open world RPG.

ShadowMar posted:nah, with the new DLC characters, 4 will have just under double the roster of 3 Huh? It had controller support for me (although it didn't have proper button icons without a mod, lol). Also I just checked the wikis and counted, while 4 does have more characters than 3 with the DLC, it's not double, it's 10 more. 3 had 46, 4 has 56. Charitably 58 if you include Boundman and Snakeman. Because a handful of characters got cut between games too, including pre-timeskip versions of a couple of the Strawhats. And the pre-TS versions ARE different enough to be their own characters. Movesets are also a lot more simplified in PW4, the best part about PW3 was always the fact that it had two full combo trees per character, so there's less depth per character.

The hatred for the clutch claw never made much sense to me, though I did exclusively play Lance which apparently had one of the most fun clutch claw moves so YMMV on that front.Squiggle posted:As a counterpoint, I think Lance is kinda boring since it's so stationary, other than the charging run. If you're stationary as a Lance, you're doing it wrong. You just always move around by either hopping or charging, walking is not an option. With enough practice Lance is actually insanely mobile.

The war between Rise fans and World fans is never ending. I'm on the side of World mostly because it had the absolute best Lance experience in the entire series, and because I really enjoyed doing more Hunting in Monster Hunter for a change. Rise just felt kinda sterile in comparison.

Snake Maze posted:I know everyone has their own opinions but I will never understand why people always say this about the detective vision "follow the ugly bright neon line" stuff in World. It's not like you the player need to put even a single thought into it. If anything the one braincell it takes to look at the map in Rise and decide what path you want to take is more engaging. Eh you also gather footprints and sludge and stuff. I thought it was more fun than "look at map, see where monster is, use basically infinite wirebug mobility to jump over there in 3 seconds, or ride dog if too lazy for even that". It's just personal taste.

Sokani posted:Maybe the Clutch Claw isn't great, but it brought us the Lance Clutch Counter which is dope as hell. Hmm. Maybe my lack of understanding for all the Clutch Claw hate IS in fact completely based on the fact I play Lance and nothing but Lance. Because yeah the addition of another incredibly cool counter to the already cool counter filled Lance playstyle was super rad to me. Plus it looks rad and/or goofy depending on the exact circumstances.

disposablewords posted:I can't speak to more than just my experience, but playing GE1 and 2 on PC a few years ago had no technical issues. Also, buying GE2 on Steam comes with GE1 automatically, they're a package deal. On one hand you're correct the GE1 plot tends a bit darker and moodier and since it's technically a later game in terms of release date it has some QoL features that you REALLY feel the lack of when moving to 2. On the other hand, in GE2 you eventually unlock a super mode that requires you to accomplish moderately difficult requirements during a fight (that you pick for yourself), has a lot of buildup and when it finally starts up it plays this insanely cheesy song https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFkUPAbpqE4 So I still gotta give it up for GE2 in the end. Also I can't believe no one mentioned all three GE games have this absolutely insane bullet customization feature that lets you make your own crazy anime shot patterns. They will mostly suck worse than just shooting a normal bullet unless you follow a guide, but they can be SO FANCY.

Which would be understandable if they were just playing the AAA shooter du jour but it's a Remedy game, you should know what you're getting into. Clearly they just keep hoping their next game is going to be Max Payne 2-2 despite all evidence to the contrary.

My two cents on specifically soulslike difficulty is that the reason it can't have all those cheats and sliders by default is invasions. It'd really gently caress with the already poorly balanced PvP mechanics. I guess turning on the cheats menu would lock you out of multiplayer of all kinds and it would kinda work? Because even in co-op I think it'd be kinda lame if I asked for help and got someone who turned on the invincibility ultra kill cheat and just instantly deleted the boss.
