I apologize for nothing Reddyne!I've been reminded of the following things that shouldn't spoil very much of anything but will hopefully dispell some ???'s about weapons and armor smithing since it's such a big thing:
I just beat up this stupid golem thing that I could only damage with magic or counter splash damage and I still don't really know what to do in the workshop effectively :V
no, instead I'm going to be playing shadow hearts covenant on stream semi-regularly and enjoying myself
also playing around with Super Mario Bros X for the MAGLX2 contest, but that's all I can say on that. Yay crappy level designs! 8D
I can't wait to see where you place and when Raocow plays your level, man.aw ye, someone knows what I'm talking about <3
I was able to complete and submit the level after passing it around to some other talkhausers for feedback and everyone was super impressed apparently so maybe I'll actually do well despite never having picked up SMBX before. (Then again, that among the list of generated level names I had wasI can hardly wait now. The first MaGL X had pretty good content, so the second one ought to be really good.PARANOIAprobably helped; I'll leave you to wonder what I did with that 8D
Atelier Shallie coming out made me realize that I never got around to playing Escha & Logy. Which is a shame, because it's turning out to be my favorite entry in the series gameplay-wise so far. On the plus side, I heard that Shallie has an annoying glitch, so this gives me something to do while they patch that out.
Oops I signed into Kingdom of Loathing tonightgod damn it don't make me do this man
Oops I found out that their current seasonal ascension path is Actually Ed The Undying.
I have missed you KoL. And you especially, Ed.
Oh hey, Atelier Shallie patch hit. Time to pick it up. I guess Shikkoku no Sharnoth can stand being delayed... again.
Edit: A movable camera, minimap, no time limit... WHO ARE YOU SHALLIE AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE ATELIER SERIES!?
I need to play some more Atelier games. The last one I played was Rorona. And I still need to beat Annie.
But anywho, I started playing Gravity Rush. I got it for Christmas, but it kind of got away from me. Dunno why, it's really fun and actually uses the Vita. That being said, I'm going to have to get used to the controls. I flung myself off the edge a few times during the tutorial. And I got a Phantom Brave flashback when I finished the tutorial. I love the music for this game.
"Hey Sect, you're at the endgame of Xenoblade! Why not finish it?"OWB is one of the best experiences I've ever had in a game. So much fun.
"Ehhh, I think I'll take a break, try some other games for a bit."
Welp. That was three months ago. But right now I'm working on Fallout New Vegas with all of the DLC. Pretty fun, really, especially Old World Blues.
Tetris: The Grand Master 3 - Terror InstinctYou poor soul. That game's nuts as HECK.
It's even more terrifying to actually play
especially when you've barely picked up Tetris during the last several years of your life

Going to echo JQ here. What drove you to play TGM3, of all things? I know people went out and acquired it (and the first one) after what happened near the start of the year, so it's not that surprising if that's the reason. But yeah, good luck to you~ XDAGDQ drove me to hunt it down but I've always been somewhat curious.
[...]The only way I could win was about 75% Counter Hammer[...]
Now for Aqua's story. Not sure if I wanna go Critical again or if I'll stick to Proud mode...
Both final bosses were hard for me, but Terra's was just OBNOXIOUS.
is it bad that I automatically tried because getting caught by them too much would kill me and their blast radius was too big to reliably dodge?
A month and a half until Final Fantasy XIV: Heavensward hits
And I'm still playing XIV. Though these days it's mostly for raid nights with my free company. We cleared Turn 10, determined Turn 11 was impossible with our party compositions (three casters), and have started on turn 12
so close to turn 13 I can taste it
Cross-class skills are definitely a thing. That said you technically only need to take Pugilist to 15 which maybe takes a couple hours and you get all their good cross-class skills in that time so it's really not that bad.
Also do you have a problem pronouncing Merlwyb keysmash? <8D (Mirl-vib Blow-fis-vin)
PPS:Subligars have been a thing since FFXI.Although I think the one thing I love about this game the most is that, sure, there are some pretty skimpy female outfits, but there are equally as skimpy male outfits so it evens out, which allows for things like this (http://i.imgur.com/FsoeZju.jpg) to happen.(Link is slightly nsfw)
According to the wiki, I need to finish one of the story quests for the Gridanian Grand Company to unlock ninjas, but I took Limsa, do you know if that's gonna be a problem?It's not tied to any of the grand companies. Sylphic Gratitude is one of the main storyline quests, and it's required for all the Jobs.
Got myself a PS3 a couple days ago.
Now I can fully commit to playing (and beating) Ni no Kuni, Catherine, and FF13.
I also picked up the Kingdom Hearts mixes, and Valkyria Chronicles, and let me tell you, I am having a blast with VC. I wonder why this and FE are basically the only SRPGs I can get behind
SOON (http://fourjobfiesta.com/)SOON (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XJJjD-kZ4ck)
SOON (http://fourjobfiesta.com/)Not soon enough
I can't wait either. I am so doing RegChaos, Berserker Risk(assuming of course that RegChaos doesn't disable Berserker Risk like Classic did, though I don't see why it would). Doubt I'd do Natural on it too because I'd rather be able to get my berserkers stuff like Thief Agility, or Monk Strength, or Two hands, or a magic skillset to exploit the Gaia Hammer or Rune Axe with(I'm planning to play the original version anyway, so I would have underflow available anyway).Oh are they adding new variations on what was done last year? I was just looking into doing something different since Team RNG got into a funk at times. It's more fun to play the game with a different team each time anyhow.
I just hope that RegChaos Berserker Risk doesn't end up with a 4 Berserker team.
I just hope that RegChaos Berserker Risk doesn't end up with a 4 Berserker team.The odds of that are quite low but oh bby. Didn't Sulla get all the way up to Neo Exdeath with solo 'zerker? Of course, at that point it's less playing a game and more running a simulation to get past, oh I don't know Sandworm for example :ohdear:
Yeah, every year they !Mix it up with new/altered play options. Like I think a few years back Random could give you dupes other than BERSERKER but that got changed. With the new Chaos option, I wouldn't be surprised if they took out Classic mode. From the pic on the main site Chaos mode looks like you can get any job assigned even if you aren't at that crystal yet, I can dig it.We can probably set it up once registration hits because then we can masterpost all the relevant information.

...guess I should pop the thread up sooner rather than later huh? I'm sure we can keep it active for the 11 days until registration and an additional 15 until we actually start playing :V
Also, Nep U released yesterday, but since I'm not commanding the vehicle, I can either spend three hours on a round-trip walk or two hours by bus to the nearest Gamestop (since I will be getting a physical edition), hope that our travels eventually stop nearby one that's selling Nep U, or just wait until I get home... many days away.
And why was the first boss fight so long? At some point it was just pressing A until you win because the enemy barely attacks you when he cannot perform special attacks.
I hope the game gets more exciting as it progresses. Maybe RPGs are just not my thing.
If I recall correctly, the first boss was that Whelk? It was intended to give you a tutorial on knowing how not to kill yourself on its attacks. You tried beating the counterattacking part, huh? I believe you do get a useful prize if you do so, but you were supposed to knock down the other part - it has less health, and more importantly, its death wins the battle.Yep. Funny thing is, just when I got tired of attacking the shell and thought it might be faster killing the other part, the boss died. Also, I had to attack something, so when the Whelk hides himself in the shell I had no choice! But thanks for the reply. I hope its useful to me on the future.
That's the kicker - you actually did have choice. The ATB system actually does 'tick' when nothing's going on, so the boss would emerge again in just a couple seconds. The ability to choose not to act (or, if you turned it to Active, to fail to act fast eough) is part of the nature of the ATB, especially since you can rotate between characters who have a full gauge to command whoever you want for priority.Yeah, that makes sense. I'm not an RPG player, so I didn't know it was normal to have that system. The only other Final Fantasy game I played was the first one and that had turns, and other RPGs I played had them too, so I guess I'm not used to it.
(Also I find it interesting you're referring to the ATB as not the "normal" style and of hybriding Chrono Trigger in, when actually CT borrowed the ATB from FF. It had been in the series since 4, and there is, as of now, only four main numbered games that definitely do not posess the ATB (Its presence in the MMOs is debateable, and its presence in 12/13 features some noticeable differences from standard, but it's there). The lack of an ATB is actually the exception rather than the rule by now; even when 6 came out, the system was in literally half the games)
All that aside, guess who sunk down the like 75$ for Splatoon today? (After shipping, taxes, etc.)
I'm on my third playthrough of Etrian Odyssey 3 and this time I'm going for 100% completion.whyyyyyyy
Even in this thread, F O EAnd I've got Persona Q in my 3DS. Sheckles status: Kekkled.
FINAL FANTASY FFXIVIf you were on Adamantoise I'd help you.
someone help me I beat etrian odyssey untold with five hexers*Fistbump*
*Fistbump*idiotic sccs completed so far:
3 Dancer EO4 here. Hell ye challenge runs. (I've gotta try 5 medic yet)
Finally getting off my ass and making some real progress through KHBBS. Terra's story? Done. Ven's story? Ugh, I'll let you know when I can clear the rhythm minigame... from the looks of it, the pattern's actually static, but that doesn't help where timing is concerned. Played just a little bit of Aqua's story for the interim. Can I make it to the last Episode before FJF starts and I put every second of my gaming time into that? Probs not.Ah, another BBS player yaaaay. I SHOULD be working on Aqua's story since I cleared both Terra's and Ventus's, but instead I went back into my Ventus clear file and was putzing around getting my head handed to me in the Mirage Arena. Whoops. Reminds me, I randomly made the Second Chance ability and need to turn that off once I've mastered the ability it's on since I intend to beat everything without it/Once More.
Dunno what bit me, but I played Parasite Eve recently. It's funny to see an RPG where your STG experience comes in handy.Parasite Eve is one of my favorite PS era RPGs, which is why I was disappointed PE2 went a more Resident Evil style of gameplay. I wish they'd come out with a third Parasite Eve game, though, that would be fun.

There's the 3rd Birthday on PSP.That's an original IP that Square Enix decided to not continue. It is not Parasite Eve, at all. Nope.
All you need to do is unlock the auction house and win all of them. Then the game is effectively over. It deserves no better.Yeah, I unlocked Auction House then stopped playing because the game was over
All you need to do is unlock the auction house and win all of them. Then the game is effectively over. It deserves no better.I found A2 at a local used games store that holds onto just about everything forever. I've never played it and the existence of the game hasn't crossed my mind for 6-7 years. I still feel as if I've beaten it already now.
All you need to do is unlock the auction house and win all of them.I'd rather play the game in my own stupid style than try to break it over my knee that hard and that quickly. I'm not saying anyone else should do what I do. Whatever you feel like doing, do it. And I'll go do my own thing over here.
The first murder was ridiculously convoluted, almost to the point of being silly, but it just BARELY makes enough sense to work. That's a good line to walk I guess.
Holy shit, you've seen nothing yet.
The murders in this game make the first game solutions seem obvious in comparison.
You'll definitely love the game though, so many twists and turns.

5th case is stupid. Its resolution and reasoning behind it, is even more stupid
Ye gods what have I subjected myself to...? Currently binging on HyperDimension Neptunia Re;Birth 1, and it's a lot of fun, of grindy at times so far. In the middle of adventures in Leanbox now. Iffy is freaking ADORABLE when flustered holy crap.How bad is the grinding? I'm interested in the game since it seems pretty light hearted and silly, but I hear a lot about the grinding in it and I'm not so sure about the game with that in mind.

I think they handle grinding pretty good. I mean as long as you're doing all the quests in the new dungeons, both story and optional, you never have to stop and actively grind.
Day 1, reached Deck 3. Remembered I tried Normal or Hard back then and gave up because I'd ran out of bullets in robot-filled cargo bays. This time I used resources in a more optimized way and didn't have too many problems there. Looks like I'm set for the rest of the run.
System Shock 2 is a really easy game if you know what to put your points into and you can conserve ammo. The wrench is crazy strong so you can just smack most things with it.
Between shotgun, assault rifle and grenade launcher, I don't think I'll have trouble with ammo. Using wrench does help a lot early on, though.
That said, I did some calculations and have no idea what I'll spend half of cyber-modules on. Getting Standard Weapons to max is a big investment, but other than that I'll only need Maintenance and Hacking, plus a bit of Research and Heavy Weapons. I guess I'll end up padding the basic stats. Which is far from a waste, thankfully. Really, the game's at its hardest near the start, when you barely have any skills.
How's Max Payne, by the way?
Research is useless except for Deck 3.
Later in the game, you'll have quite a lot of points stockpiled, and at that point, get the best Psi healing possible. It can heal half of your health while taking very little Psi energy, it's insane.
and you don't get less when you play a repeated mission.Turns out you do, but you don't get less and less the more often you do a mission. Anyway, the game hates me and won't give me the loot I need. I have a lot of bladed weapons but barely any staves or bows. It's weird and depressing at the same time. It's not like I need to graduate to rank 2 loot. And the damn law bonus gives me Barongs no matter what I do. I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THIS KEEPS HAPPENING.
Chiaki was a real person and part of the Future Foundation, she was the one secret agent to make sure things went well. She's dead, just like everybody else
...try to force myself not to attempt A Relic Reborn quests...
If it helps to convince you - don't waste your time. As soon as you get to heavensward content you'll be given better gear than your Relic Weapon Zenith, and as soon as you get to level 54 you'll get equipment which is on part with the Zodiac Weapon Zeta, which takes a few days of tireless work to get. I can say that because I'm currently going for my zeta for glamour :')
I mean, unless you don't have heavensward for some reason, at which point it's still better to try and get a few clear parties through coil to get you easy poetics and encrypted tomestones so you can get your augmented ironworks weapon/dreadwyrm weapon, both of which only lose to the Zodiac Zeta in terms of power and yet take infinitely less time and effort to get.
I beat Resonance of Fate this morning. I was grossly-overlevelled. Something like...179 on Vashyron, 220 on Zephry, and 235 on Leanne. Last boss has 99,999 HP and is immune to Full Scratch Damage on MGs, but you can still break his gauge and stun him, and he's weak against elemental damage and probably ailments. He also keeps having multiple mooks around, who honest to ghod deal more damage than he does. So now I'm on NG+, because I promised my friend she could watch the DANCING VASHYRON scene on an HDTV instead of on YT.Now go beat Neverland, lol. I'm only at Chapter 15 myself; I'm too busy trying to gather turquoise Hexes to get the awesomesauce terminals to the Arena.
i literally have the worse rng in video games oh my god kill me right now
That's 100% Orange Juice in a nutshell. You will fail dice rolls... a lot... and this coming from someone who is still stuck onI can say this to back up Tamashii's statement it is funny to play with friends on 100% OJ especially when RNG screws you over while your friends get even the worse end of the stick.TOMOMO F**KING HELL!
Playing with friends is hilarious, though~ <3
Was actually thinking of making a thread for Final Fantasy 14 with 3.1 coming out in the near future, though I don't know how many people here play it and I also kind of have my own FC so I probably wouldn't join an MotK FC unless I made an alt.There's quite a few of us around, albeit I think split across several servers unfortunately.
There's quite a few of us around, albeit I think split across several servers unfortunately.Yeah I imagined that being a case what with the forum members being from all over the globe, though it might be good to have a thread to talk about updates, share tips and stuff and talk about whatever things we happen to experience

So much Labyrinth of Touhou because I like rpgs. However, what I don't like about LoT (and RPGs in general) is grinding. OMFG I spend around 3-4 hours at a time, walking back and forth and it gets booooring. Which is why I have youtube playing as well, so I don't die of bored.You thought LoT grinding is bad? Try Genius of Sappheiros where there is no leaked experience. I spent 100 hours of my life leveling up all 12 characters not because I was bored, but because EVERY character is mandatory to beat the Final Boss.

While everybody and their mother is excited about MGSV:TPP, I'm excited for another game that was just released : THIS BABY RIGHT THERE! (http://vgperson.com/games/touhoumotherreturn.htm) Return of Touhou Mother!Wow, I haven't checked it for a long and now it's released? Heck yeah! Time to make him pay for what he did
I just finished Return of Touhou Mother, and I miss it already. It was so good coming back to that Gensokyo. It was definitely the sequel Touhou Mother deserved.That's a rule.
I'll just say one thing.
Dude? That's nuts, brah.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask is underrated. And I was one of the people who thought as much for 15 years.
Trying out
Wizardry 5: Red Needs Revenge For 20 Years Ago EditionEtrian Odyssey: Untold. The map stuff will take some getting used to but is fine. I've only done the first floor and haven't even gotten the main party yet, but have done a bit of scouting. My first instinct is that I want to almost completely readjust the party because of my instinctive aversion to HP draining moves. My second is that the party setup is limited to 5 so that you will always have a blind spot. If I respec people so that the party is Ronin/Protector/Gunner/Troubadour/Medic then I'm out most negative statuses and AoE attacks but have a lot in the way of DEEPS, buffs, healing, and even elemental attacks. I've scouted so much and I haven't even got the party together yet! Such is my fate.
I like my Medic with a ranged weapon, because they sit in the back. I think if you wanted a front-row Medic you'd probably need a grimoire for heavy armor or shields. It's easier to do in Untold 2 since you have multiple grimoire slots, thus you can have more than 1 type of out-of-class equipment.I'm doing Dark Hunter, Dark Hunter, Dark Hunter/Dark Hunter, Dark Hunter
I beat Untold 2, by the way. Finally. Ginnungagap 5F is the last area. I was level 63. Started up in Classic, now. Doing Landsknecht/Dark Hunter/Troubadour in the front row and Gunner and Medic in the back row. I'm stuck at 19F in Untold 1 because the FOEs keep spamming Curse on me and they're the "GUN IT FOR YOU" types so you can't just trail them as they walk their routes. And there's no accessory to decrease the likelihood of Curse, either. wtf. Dammit, I'm stonewalled. Well, I'll just keep playing Untold 2.
Anyway, I've been trying to play Yomi, and get a feel for my main, Valerie. (Probably way too early to say I main her, but she's all I'm playing right now.) I've been slapping her Yomibot version silly, so there's that, but I'll need to learn the matchups against her eventually. High attack rate doesn't really mean anything if you can't outspeed the initial attack or get dodges up and running. Plus, her highest damage attack is only 21 damage but needs to be pumped twice just to do that.Man, I tried to play Yomi, and I'll admit I like Valerie too, but the last time I tried it I couldn't get a good feel for the rules. ^^;; Maybe I'll try it again and hopefully not suck at the tutorial.
I'm also looking forward to Transformers Devastation! I'm gonna be smart about this and NOT preorder it on Steam, I'd rather not get burned if it this ends up being another Legend of Korra. But if it isn't...Consider me on board! I love the TF franchise and eagerly look forward to bashing some Decepticon faces in.
Rise's VA was unable to reprise her role in DAN due to previous engagements for voicework for Gears of War.Huh, no kidding. Wonder if I'd catch shit here for thinking Chie's P4G and Fuuka's PQ voices are superior to the originals.
Huh, no kidding. Wonder if I'd catch shit here for thinking Chie's P4G and Fuuka's PQ voices are superior to the originals.Chie's original I liked because it captured her casual, flighty, energetic personality well. The original Fuuka VA sounds like she was dragged off the street and didn't even know what she was auditioning for. Any change was an improvement there.
Chie's original I liked because it captured her casual, flighty, energetic personality well. The original Fuuka VA sounds like she was dragged off the street and didn't even know what she was auditioning for. Any change was an improvement there.Chie is a weird one for me: I prefer old Chie's voice more, but the new Chie put better emphasis and stuff in her lines (even if her voice is kind of grating). Also, I actually didn't really notice a difference between the different Rise VAs, so good on her (apparently she's Ash from Hey Ash Whachu Playin'?). Kanji is another one that has a decent VA replacement (though, really, Matt Mercer is a poor man's Troy Baker so it's not a huge shift).
I'm tempted to pick up Corpse Party: Blood Drive, but I haven't actually gone through the prequel games yet. Should probably do that first, yeah?That'd be a good idea, yeah. At the very least, you'll need to play the original game and know what happens in the final chapter of Book of Shadows.
None of the MCs are available through normal play;Not quite. There's a number that are available through standard play, although the majority of those are tied to high level Elite dungeons that will be ass to succeed at. Oh well.
nobody wants to rent a level 22Depends on what you have as your shared soul break, some aren't stat dependent IIRC. Also 2nding Orbfest. Couldn't tell you about connection issues as I'm on android phone.
So I guess it'll be quite a while before I can get Best Girl Aeris (since Cloud's the one you get automatically).You're in luck! They added her as a bonus quest with this new event! How far in is that dungeon from where you are now I have no idea but hey you can get her now!
Maybe if I tried playing with the computer off so the core box would only be transmitting to my iPod.Yup. Crashes less often.
but it's the US version, with the bathing minigame removed.Was anything of value lost? The first Mugen Souls isn't very good, and this is coming from someone who actually likes IF games. Z is a lot better. Not that it's...amazing or anything. Hell of a lot more playable characters, though.
Was anything of value lost? The first Mugen Souls isn't very good, and this is coming from someone who actually likes IF games. Z is a lot better. Not that it's...amazing or anything. Hell of a lot more playable characters, though.The main things lost is removal of the minigame (the spa just gives you the minigame's buffs outright now) and their related CGs (which include soaped-up characters, including resident lolis Chou-Chou, Welsh, Sharuru, and Bellaria). That said, a lot of people have a lot of hate for anything NISA brought state-side or for censoring in general (see the similar amount of hate they garnered when they brought over Criminal Girls: Invite Only and removed the voices and put pink clouds over the characters during Motivation), even if said fault lies with the Japanese crew inserting the data (which, I'm told, is a big part of the reason why the Sleeping Boss bug in Mugen Souls Z took so damn long to fix) or the QA crew somehow missing obvious and not-so-obvious bugs.
see the similar amount of hate they garnered when they brought over Criminal Girls: Invite Only and removed the voices and put pink clouds over the characters during MotivationEven setting aside the premise, I watched some gameplay footage of Criminal Girls and almost ran screaming from the room. Battle system does not look like my idea of a good time. Same thing with Conception, although I don't know if that game's actually controversial or not. I really, really hate child PCs in RPGs so I was never all that interested to begin with.
JRPG that I still haven't finished yet:Just wait a few years, that list will balloon to dozens of games.
- Hyperdimension Neptunia Rebirth 2
- Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC
- Fairy Fencer F
- Xenogears
And soon, I'm adding Mugen Souls to my list .
Wow I've unlocked Lilith before some people like Bisnap who are renowned in Issac.I would have streamed Isaac tonight if not for the fact that apparently I... didn't preorder it. I swore I did. And I certainly don't have the money now ;-;
I'm surprised.
Doom, the RoguelikeDoomRL is possibly my all time favourite roguelike.

Goodbye, cruel world. It was nice knowing you while it lasted. (http://i.imgur.com/NIg1wV3.png)The irony that the game was released many other places prior to Boston has not been lost on me. One LP'er I follow posted a video of it, and one Steam friend of mine started playing it while I was 'stuck' playing MGS5. Both are British. Considering how many nods there are to the Revolutionary War in the game, it feels really bizarre. The time has come to end their imperial tyranny.
Straight outta Canton.My town is in the game. :justasplanned:
YES! My town got namedropped! Nothing else matters 13/10 best game evar.
I can see the dislike a lot of people are having for the game, and I don't think that it really should be getting the 9+ ratings that it has been (then again, I think the rating system really needs to be revamped because the bar is set way too low anyways), but there are things that I do like about the game such as the settlement system, and the power armor is both the best implementation of power armor in the series in my opinion (it feels less like a "pretty good" set of armor that doesn't do much and more like the war machine that it's always hyped up to be) and the worst implementation (you're given a set WAAAAAAY too early). Give me a week or two and I'll have a more concrete idea of what I think.The power armor is balanced by a lot of things. You're given the basic set with no power source and no readily available way to resupply ammo. So it really feels like a privilege not to be abused at the start, but you're still given the chance to play around with it.
It's been a fun 10-11 months but....You can never be done with NV. The closest you can come is taking a break. :V
Decided to blow the dust off the IGA-style Castlevanias I played, as well as finally look at the newer ones. Started with... Simon's Quest. Yeah. Well, I never was among those that bashed it, but it seemed a bit too hard for me (though I thought that about other classic 'Vanias too). This time I found it actually really enjoyable! Just get used to the jumps and remember a few pointers, and then it suddenly becomes a pretty fun game.
Also, tried out the DS ones this week. Dawn of Sorrow is horrible in almost every aspect but music. The other two seem to be awesome, though.
As a huge Metroidvania fan, I agree that Dawn Of Sorrow is the absolute worst of the genre. I 100%ed it earlier this year just because I had never done it, and yeah, not fun. It's playable I guess, but there are so many games that do everything it does better. Like Aria Of Sorrow, for instance.
The other two DS Castlevanias are much better, yeah. Portrait Of Ruin has some questionable design choices, but Order Of Ecclesia may be the best game in the series.
I didn't dislike Dawn nearly that much, but the other two DS titles are indeed better.
I'm really enjoying Portrait of Ruin, actually. Both gameplay-wise (whips <3) and aesthetically. I found portrait worlds pretty interesting, and while I'm still yet to actually visit the second set, I'm not against remixing stages. I really like that approach, actually. (Yes, Harmony of Dissonance is my favourite of Metroidvanias. How did you guess?)
Order of Ecclesia, however, turned out a huge disappointment for me. It's hard in a wrong way. The glyph system is interesting but a bit unwieldy. That alone wouldn't be too much of an issue, but the enemy forces you're up against are sadistically hard as well. That pushes it a bit too far for my taste.
You wouldn't happen to be talking specifically about the crab in the lighthouse would you? :D Not the only hard boss in the game certainly, but I think it's the first hint about how tough the game is.
I don't HATE it, on a spectrum of all games every it certainly doesn't land in the "terrible" category, it's just superfluous. Probably worth one playthrough, but not really worth revisiting unlike the others. When I replayed it I was really hoping that I was undervaluing it and that it would turn out to be an underrated gem, but... It didn't. The map design is just so tedious and lacking in momentum that I really soured on it. The bosses are mostly uninspired, the characters and plot are even stupider than I've come to expect, and the core mechanics are annoying. If I have one positive thing to say about Dawn Of Sorrow it's that the weapon system is interesting, but even that leans heavily on tediously grinding rare souls, so... Eh.
Portrait of Ruin's greatest strength is certainly the variety of environments, but Order of Ecclesia did that to a lesser degree as well so it's become less unique than it was at the time. There's still some obnoxious grinding for skills, but it doesn't feel nearly as bad as in Dawn of Sorrow. Some of the bosses are memorable, particularly that shadow demon guy. And it may have the best Dracula fight in the franchise.
I found the sigil system in Order of Ecclesia to be extremely elegant, and not awkward at all. So maybe that's just a difference of opinion. As for the difficulty... That's certainly true and agsin maybe it's just a matter of taste. You wouldn't happen to be talking specifically about the crab in the lighthouse would you? :D Not the only hard boss in the game certainly, but I think it's the first hint about how tough the game is.
No no no, the bosses are awesome (and I don't think that particular one is any hard, frankly). It's the stages that are my nightmare. Namely, Skeleton Cave completely broke my will to go on and I dropped the game after clearing it.You haven't seen the Castlevania yet. My personal shit-list is the boss with enormous and monstrous shadow (I forgot his name) that have high attack power, great reach, small arena (smaller than Gergoth's one of my favorite boss in Dawn of Sorrow), and can only be hurt with Light. He always halt my progress in both story and boss rush.

And if you have Nitesco glyph which is Fire/Light you can more or less laser spam it to death.

Yeah, I like that fight, but it's a bit much. And Gergoth is definitely the best boss in Dawn Of Sorrow in my opinion too.You could imagine how happy I am seeing its ugly self in Portrait of Ruin.
Am I the only one who finds Pokemon hard? (Granted it is Platinum but still)I usually end up making poor move choices and somehow end up underleveled at the same time and just cobble my way to victory because I'm bad at games, so don't feel bad, haha.
Playing another roguelike now, DoomRL this time. It's short (clearing the whole thing shouldn't take more than two hours if you know what you're doing), very sweet and based on one of the best games ever, which is a big bonus.There's an achievement for clearing the game in like <10 minutes. It's amazing just how smooth it can play at that speed too. (man I love DoomRL tho; I've not been playing it nearly enough in recent months)
There's an achievement for clearing the game in like <10 minutes. It's amazing just how smooth it can play at that speed too. (man I love DoomRL tho; I've not been playing it nearly enough in recent months)Yeah, my first, clueless clear took under 2 hours, so I definitely overestimated the game's length and underestimated the "knowing what you're doing" factor. It was excellent fun, my only tiny gripe was that the bosses seemed a bit anticlimactic, at least on the Not Too Rough difficulty. I simply unloaded my BFG at them repeatedly and that's it. Especially the Spiderdemon couldn't hurt me much, despite me using a Nanofiber Blue Armor providing a mere 1 point of protection (my Red Armor got sadly destroyed during my panicked escape from the Mortuary). Also, in original Doom, the Cyberdemon had a ton of Lost Souls accompanying him, and the Spiderdemon's level featured a few Cacodemons and Barons. These bosses were alone in my playthrough. I assume the companion monsters show up on higher difficulty levels.
In Resident Evil 4 & 5, the best way to defeat Las Plagas and Majini is to stun it by shooting in the head or knee and follow it with physical attack. I tried the same thing against the Ooze in Revelations... only to get myself bitten. In the end, I spent a whole clip against one monster.I just found out that to stun Ooze, you need to shoot at both of its arm. It's not an easy task.
In episode 3, Jill and Parker fights against a Scagdead as a boss with infinitely respawning creatures. It took me maybe 10 retries to finally kill it.
This should be a fairly easy Platinum for me, too!EXPLORATION / CONTROL
We're excited to share the first details about Epic's new game Paragon, which harnesses the power of Unreal Engine 4.*facepalm*
Paragon is the MOBA...
Castlevania: Order Of Ecclesia 100% cleared with Shanoa. Can't remember if I've ever actually gotten 100% before, I think I gave up grinding for Mandrake Root for one of the side quests. Got in on like my third try this time though, so it wasn't too bad.
Dracula was probably the easiest fight in the game just by virtue of how much shit I had by that point. For being the last Castlevania game the Dracula fight is actually kind of lame, powerblasting by OP glyph combinations or not. Seems like he could have benefited from one more form at the end. Oh well.
Might clear it with Albus real quick now that I'm done. I don't really have much interest in any of the other new game plus modes.
Huh. I thought Dracula was actually kinda hard, but I think I went in at like Level 40 or something. This one is particularly strange because it's one of the few games where he only has a single form, and it would probably be a big issue for a lot of people if they didn't just hand you Nitesco.
Also, there's a neat little easter egg you can find if you defeat him with no damage.
I only tried Nitesco on him once before deciding that jumping to hit his head every time wasn't worth it. I used Vol Ascia (the highest level axe glyph)+Vol Ascia+Arma Custos for most of the fight on the run that I beat him. Although I did switch to Vol Ascia+Nitesco+Arma Custos after he switched phases and just mashed out a shitload of glyph unions in a row. His bat summoning attack in the second phase is horseshit, so I wanted to skip that if possible (and it was). Vol Ascia isn't really worth it in the Dracula fight until you get the World ring for completing every side quest because the mana cost is so high, but after you do it becomes perfect because the arc makes connecting with his weird head-only hitbox a lot easier.
I certainly didn't beat him with no damage though because I wanted to power up Arma Custos (and I'm just not good enough to never get hit regardless), so I didn't see the easter egg. I'll have to look that up.
When you beat any of the big bosses in OoE without taking damage, a blue chest pops up and you get a unusable medal item that serves as a "proof" that you beat them without taking damage. In Dracula's case, you go into the ending sequence the moment you do, so the chest doesn't appear until your go through all of it and reload your save outside his room.You'll get the medal as normal, but when opening the chest, you'll hear Dracula say "Impossible... But I....!!!", as you obtain it.
I'm goong to be honest, Undertale's graphic still bugs me even to this very day. But is it as good as anyone's said? Time for me to find out.
Finally beat Dracula with Albus in Castlevania: Order of Ecclesia. Definitely the hardest fight in the game. Albus is a little too slow and awkward to safely evade Dracula's second-phase attacks, so hacking through his massive HP sucks. I did eventually figure out tricks to get around everything, but it took many, many tries. The biggest pitfalls are when he uses Destruction Ray into Soul Steal into another Destruction Ray, which makes you very likely to run out of magic to keep teleporting out of the way before the sequence ends, or his summoning attacks since the starting pose is the same for both but they need to be handled in a split second in different ways. With the wolves you need to stand back and snipe each one as it comes out or you basically instantly lose, and with the bats you have to immediately run to a very precise spot on the screen and crouch or you die in like two frames. I probably could have made this a little easier by grinding out a little more health and magic, but I don't like grinding.
I didn't beat Training Grounds (because there's no reason to, although his teleport would make it easy) or Huge Cavern (because it seems like it would be virtually impossible without Volicatus AND there's no reason to) with Albus, so I didn't technically 100% the game with both characters, but I got like 100% and 99%. So I'm done with this game now, time for a new handheld game. I'm probably going to start Phoenix Wright next. I've never played it before and someone gave me a copy a while ago saying I would like it.
The graphics are complete ass by today's standards but this game had a budget of only 50k and graphics were never its intention so I guess that's to be expected. Besides, the game does have some pretty aesthetically pleasing parts despite the weak graphics.I was never the one to consider graphic to be important, I could Cave Story with no problem (Besides, graphic intensive game melt my laptop). But Undertale's graphic bothers me. But as I play it, I begin to mellow out.
And yes, Undertale is as good as people say it is. Just make sure to go in as blind as humanly possible - and I do mean it, the game throws a curveball at you less than 5 minutes into the game.
You may not find the game's appeal in your first playthrough, most people don't, but stick with it, you'll see what everyone means soon enough.
All this talk of Castlevania made me get copies of OoE and PoR myself.
Got no damage medals for every boss up to Dracula's castle this far. The last two bosses before that were made significantly easier just by using Vol Scutum and Scutum respectively, as they let you get in attacks for free when you would normally have to dodge. I dig it.
I've been playing Phoenix Wright on my DS since I wrapped up Castlevania. Not sure what I think of it yet. The obvious comparison is to Danganronpa, but I'm not sure that's valid. How do the court scenes actually mechanically work? Is there a hidden "health bar" that depletes when you do something wrong? Or is it more of a flowchart that ends in win or loss states? It's not clear to me yet how on-rails I am, or where the rails are. I can tell they're there, but not exactly in wjat way yet.Duh, the health bar is visible if your choice affect your health. In the first Ace Attorney, you have 5 lives. Second game onward, you have a health bar and the more important the question is, the more more health you lost if you're lost. Presenting wrong evidence when questioning the witness always costs you a live or 20% of your health. In Justice for All, you cannot refill your health after court. Woe to you if you enter court with 10% health left.
I like the game fine so far, but Phoenix has a bit too much of a mind of his own for my taste. I've had a couple of times so far where I chose a command for him and he executed it in a way other than how I was expecting, in such a way that I would have chosen another option if I knew exactly what he was going to do. It's not a big problem, but I've found myself getting frustrated with the game a few times because of that. And I kind of hate the sound design, the music is atrocious. Which is too bad, because when I turn it off I miss all the silly "objection!" exclamations too.
All boss medals obtained. Eligor was the biggest obstacle???
No idea how you're supposed to handle the last part except for "Dominus Agony and pray he dies quickly". Didn't think of using light/dark unions though.
Now that I finished Undertale with the happy ending, I don't want to reset because then I would take all their happiness away :(
but you'll still get trainwrecked against the original DLC dungeons (and the bosses of the new postgame content) unless you're well into your triple digits in level.That's unsurprising.
Anyone playing Dragon's Dogma? Share your pawnfus.I'm on 360, so that's a no go for me.
One look and I need that game like...yesterday.
I've been playing Shoot Shoot Nitori: The Golden a lot this week. I didn't even realize it was out for a while and it took me forever to figure out how to pay for it, but I've got it now. It's really good. Like the first one but a little more refined and with a ton of playable characters. I think there are a bunch of mechanics I don't understand because the game seems a little text-heavy for a shmup, but for whatever reason these games don't seem that popular so translation might be unlikely. Definitely recommended if you like the first one though, the extra characters alone make it worth the reasonable price tag.I did try to list the playable character and what they do in its forum.
The thing about Marvy seems to be that their special edition is their basic edition.I'm still seeing Shinovi Versus Let's Get Physical copies on-shelves and Corpse Party ones too. The one that ran out fast was the Trails of Cold Steel(It's XSEED but they're still Marvelous), but it's still in some places, but it's somewhat uncommon compared to the others.
Also, they had a daki in some of those?The EU ver has them, so I assume the NA also has it.
Going through all of the Final Fantasies right now. Starting at VI. :DI've been waiting for the rerelease of 9 via Steam for a couple of months now. It gets overlooked a bunch but its a favorite of a loyal group of fans and at least a few of the major staffers.
IV and V are worthy of a play through tooSOONnotreally (http://fourjobfiesta.com/)
Re: Action UnleashedWell, it's a derivative of those Senran Kagura games, so I'm not sure why it's surprising.
That's Neptunia U, right?
I really want to like the idea, but I see one of the mechanics(the whole clothing destruction thing) and it's like "Why did you have to ruin a perfectly good thiiiiing!?"
(I'm aware that for other people thaf is either not a negative or even a positive, but on my end it's like whyyyyy)
Contemplating as whether or not i should buy bullet heaven 2 on steamWell you'd get to fight more bosses (among other things, but this is the most important one obviously), but I can't say how difficult they are because I don't have the Steam version.
looks good but $9 is kinda pricey considering there's a 'free' version on Kongregate
I installed Thief 2 over a week ago. (who even plays this anymore lol) And I haven't actually played it yet. I think I need to install a patch thingy but I didn't do that yet so I can't play it yet.Literally just yesterday I finished another run of its fan-made expansion Thief 2X, and also the base game before that. It's probably one of my favourite games ever and I only got into it around 2011.
After trudging through the first act and two thirds of the second act of Ar nosurge, it's FINALLY getting really good, and I'm now excited about playing it again. And Turbo is now turning out to be a decent character.You're certainly going to enjoy act 3. It's going to be a bit crazy. Really, I feel as though the first two acts are aimed more toward those who've played Ciel nosurge (which is basically worse than the minority everywhere but Japan) and already know exactly what everyone's going on about.

The godawful, boring crafting.
Also, Prim. Prim is the absolute worst character. I thought that Zill was my least favorite character but no, Prim takes the cake and shoves it down her cakehole. I've been wanting to throw Prim off the side of the ship for a long while, and she's been getting worse about it.Prim's the Genom girl, right? It's very likely you'll be kicking yourself and/or shitting bricks once you learn why this is actually a thing.
Can somebody remind me how hard the original F.E.A.R. is? Compared to what I already play at the moment, anyway.I don't know what you play, but speaking as someone that is okay at best at shooters and a total wimp when it comes to horror, F.E.A.R. wasn't that bad.

Zero Time Dilemma
Only 15 hours? I clocked over twice that for VLR....I didn't think VLR was that long, I managed to beat it in two days.
I don't have my copy on me to check but I know my clear time was in the 30+ hour plus range. Maybe I'm just a moron at puzzles or something :VIt could also be that I played it obsessively over those two days: I checked the times I got cheevos, and, well, I'm not certain I actually slept. :V
A loooot of Doom lately. Playing through the campaigns of Doom 1-2, Plutonia and TNT w/ the Brutal Doom mod attached.
help I am playing eou2 with five sovereignsMan, I gotta get back around to the first. Right after OoE, then DQ7, then SMT4, then I need to restart because I am foolish and reclassed. :fail:
So i am playing Rabi Ribi. It's a Bullet Hell Metroidvania.Hey, you're already used to the first boss' attacks, you only really need to do slight variation to attacks you've already learned how to dodge. (Still took me way too long since the three of them were basically my last ones before endgame.)
Still in Chapter 1 and i decided to explore around a little. Found frozen palace and metNievea bear-girl there. Who during the fight jumped around like a deranged rabbit while shooting all sorts of snow and ice based attacks at me. It was quite fun actually. ThenNieveasked me to find her sister, but as it turns out she was guarding Gravity Suit and i thought, screw finding your sister i can explore that underwater area now. Which i did.
And i foundSeanathere. I am not sure if you're supposed to fight her later, or she's just stupidly hard optional boss, but that fight really puts Hell in to Bullet Hell.
She starts the fight all nice and slow and non-threatening, but when you deplete 1/3 of her hp, she steps up her game.
Now her attacks greatly restrict your ability to damage her, since either she's above you shooting stuff at you, or her projectiles require almost pixel perfect dodging skills, or her projectiles chase after you aggressively and then explode into bullets.
Then at 50% she uses her "portrait attack" which is more or less Shou's Most Valuable Vajra, i.e. she floats to the center of the room, and starts spinning 4 directional lasers clockwise while shooting stars in random directions. Followed by an attack when she once again is above you shooting and raining stars at you, followed by some curvy lasers that require some precise dodging.
Then on her last 1/3 of hp she starts using attacks which i have no idea how to deal with properly and always take damage from them. She shoots 3 orbs at you, which home on you quite fast and then after some time explode into tight rings of bullets. There are no gaps in these rings. Likely there's some trick to it, but i was always hit either by the rings of bullets, or by the orbs. Or she fills bottom of the screen with fast moving bouncing projectiles, which also leave small trail behind them.
I think it took me more than 20 tries to beat her.
Then i went and foughtNixie-Nieve'ssister, which is more or less a berserk version ofNieve'sfight. It was so easy, compared to the hell described above i almost laughed.
EO1 main game cleared. Party of Landspoon, Protector, Dark Hunter, Alchemist and Medic, all at 53. Pretty standard party I guess, but I had a lot of fun with it. I loved the 5th stratum twist. :DI can only recommend against this.
Onward and downward to the postgame!
I can only recommend against this.Currently explored
Godspeed, Sapz. :ohdear:
Started playing 9 Hours, 9 Persons, 9 Doors earlier because people kept telling me it was an all-time classic, and I feel like I HAVE to be missing something because I fucking hate it so far. I think I hate it more than I've ever hated a game in the first half hour of playing. The text speed is excruciating. The text scrolls incredibly slowly and it repeats text a lot. As far as I can tell there's no way to speed it up and no way to skip forward. No button seems to work and I can't find an options menu to speed it up. Has anyone played this before who can tell me if there's a way to make it actually playable at a normal speed and I'm just being dumb and missing it? Because if there isn't I don't think I can keep playing, every time I pick it up I want to tear my 3DS in half.
Haaahaha no
You can only skip text in subsequent runs, if I recall
Its sequel does that, also, but you can at least advance the text early if you read fast.
Since 999 was such a bust I decided to re-play Persona Q. This time I'm playing the Persona 4 route (I played 3 last time) and on hard. Not sure I'm going to keep it on hard though, I'm grinding-averse and have been finding the enemy stats to be waaaaay too highI never found I needed to grind in PQ, but it's mostly because there are exploitable tools (Instant kills destroy random encounters throughout the entire game, and then Poison's just really solid). If you don't do those though I can definitely see its balance being unfortunate; they really did make things too bulky to take on 'legitimately' otherwise in most cases.

Dungeon design's top notch though and there's some good writing in it though so hey.
Also: Ace Attourney 6 was fantastic for anyone who was worried.
Been playing the PC port of Conception 2, am near the endgame. I'm impressed at how well they managed to optimize that game; runs butter-smooth on my pc, even in fullscreen. Though after the latest update patch, I can only run it at a good speed when its in windowed mode :/ Apparently that widescreen fix caused a major performance drop, since my specs are too high for that to really be expected. :/I think there might be PS2 emulators that let you use an actual disc, so you could get the original version of the game and play it that way if I'm not wrong? Not sure though.
Also played some Tales of the Abyss for 3DS. Hoping Namco gets to porting it to PC; its fun on the 3DS, but I prefer to game on my pc. :v
Honestly, I'm pretty much just playing with the classes I didn't get much of a chance to toy around with in the first game. I try pretty hard to go in as blind as possible and not do class research with things like this - part of the fun for me is figuring out what works and such as I go along. Usually I end up looking numbers up for what skills do etc around the postgame sometime, although I peeked early in EO1 after dumping a bunch of points into Provoke and becoming convinced it wasn't actually doing anything. It wasn't. :VYou can generally get away with this attitude for the maingames of each, so go nuts! :V It also helps tremendously that as you get farther in the games, the number of trap skills falls off pretty sharply, so you don't have to be as worried as long as you have some idea of what you want each character to do. Of course, EO2 is a broken mess for a ton of reasons, but that shouldn't stop you.
Shin Megami Tensei IV: Apocalypse is out, and I've been playing it on breaks at work and stuff.
Nintendo Switch (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f5uik5fgIaI) seems cool. Never mind the cringy advert, the idea itself is pretty ingenious. This is what consoles should be, not just worse versions of the PC. The third party list is pretty huge. (https://techcrunch.com/2016/10/20/nintendo-wants-all-third-party-games-on-the-nintendo-switch/) I hope that Nintendo Switch will finally end the twisted era of console exclusives by challenging those very consoles in the business.
Any thoughts on this?
WORLD OF FINAL FANTASYI wasn't paying attention to that game until I saw a youtubber commercial recently. It's so weird for these chibi FF characters to have mature voices, but it's weirdly charming.
This game was basically make just for me and that is good
I get to be a smol and wear a moogle on my head and see the zany adventures of FF characters this is a pro game and the localization is on point A++
Asylum is absolutely my favorite of the series. Fun fact that destroys all challenge of the Killer Croc fight; if you ever replay it, just crouch-walk. You can move at top speed with hardly any sound produced.Want to destroy it even further; Detective Vision. It destroy most of the attempts pf ambushing Batman. (And the fact that the game blares a suspenseful music the moment Killer Croc is out)
Got reminded why I stopped playing XCom 2.I had to learn to play XCOM like XCOM and not like Fire Emblem. Losses are okay and so are mission failures. Also, only very low level soldiers will ever pull this crap.
Long-range overwatch shot from a Stun Lancer? Yeah. I'll dodge past that and shoot the other Stun Lancer who I can flank and kill. Stun Lancers have bad aim.
*Overwatch shot misses*
Just as... wait; why are you panicing?
Why are you grabbing a grenade?
*Blows up his own squadmate and kills him*
Yeah. THAT'S why I stopped playing XCom2. Pure BS like that. At least this time it wasn't a dude throwing a nade up a building killing half my squad and a VIP through fall damage. *Crazed laughter*
For anyone who likes Dark Souls and similar games but actually likes having different character builds, covenants that make a difference, and stats that matter, Reddit is holding a 2 week long return to Drangleic (http://i.imgur.com/YozU0Wo.jpg) in order reinvigorate the online community.And as much as I liked this for a few days it could never live up to the original release. I also realized that I had 500 hours in DS2. Hence...
World of Warships (although kinda dropped down performance-wise due to machine parts needing to return from maintenance)
Warframe, Accidentally Trinity Prime is making me look again at the LobsterDoctor
C&C Generals Zero Hour /w Shockwave Mod. A pity that the last patch kinda broke some of the AI in General's Challenge. Still let's me write my name in Particle Cannon Strikes on those derped out AIs
Also no Warframe thread? No interest or it just get buried.
Remember Tenno are the youkai of the current era. But possibly even more deadly.
I play the former two, Warframe quite heavily. Picked up Octavia yet?
I dabble in both Star Trek Online and Mechwarrior Online as well.
Haven't started on her quest. Been working more prime projects. Had accidentally acquired all the bits to make Trinity Prime so leveling her. Also it's awkward to work for Suda... I mean there is a strong chance in quest that she'll send the goon squad after me since I'm primary Loka for my syndicates.
MWO I need to get more into but I'm also kinda really waiting for the FedCom Civil War tech upgrade to drop before going in hard core onto it. MRM Splatcats soon.
Hit me up in-game on Warframe sometime if you want someone to hunt mods/farm with. IGN is Scurry5.
I was just doing that quest with the two separated brothers and it turned out rather silly
After the brother in Cheydinhal stormed out of the inn as usual, I stayed there for a while longer to train my Sneak skill, then teleported back to Chorrol
I checked the quest marker and it was pointing just west of the Imperial Isle, meaning the idiot got himself knocked out on the way
So I stole a horse and rode out to meet him halfway
Somewhere along the road a bandit jumped out of the blue, so I dismounted, killed him and got on the horse again
"Stop! Thief!"
Cue a Link lookalike swinging at me with a big f***-off hammer because I mounted a horse he couldn't possibly know wasn't mine
I check his name and it's the goddamned brother
At this point the quest was ruined, so I reloaded
Escorted him back to Chorrol and this time everything went fine, except for the part where he ran off the road to fight boars, wolves and a bear
"I'm about to meet my lost brother, let's fight some fauna that could rip me open in a blink"
Eventually I followed him all the way to Chorrol, so he runs into the inn where his brother is, stops right in front of him... and turns around to chat with a random Khajiit
At this point I couldn't help but laugh
WordsNow up to 83% but quickly running out of things I can trade for. Mass produced Goomies and Vanilites can only go so far. Still the end is in sight and all of it should be doable. Also screw the whole elite 4 garbage 20 pokeys all around level 54 while my 6 are at maaaaaybe level 50 with no place to grind? yah no I turned off that exp. share off 100+ hours ago pupper rockin it old school I'm cheating with the level 55-70 trades pokeys I got get rekt.
And I just looked up the trophy list for Ys Origin and am just now noticing there's no trophy for taking down the hopeless boss fight. Welp.There's a Steam achievement for it though...Weird.
It's as basic as I remember but it's proving fun nonetheless, mainly due to the amazingly amusing writing.Would you consider the sequel's writing an improvement to the first Re;birth? I tried giving it a go at the insistence of friends head-over-heels for the series, but I found the humor to get a bit grating fast. Might just be a personal preference thing; I've only heard one other person voice some of my concerns about the cast, but they were nearly the same exact conclusions.
But having used the original ds, that hinge scares me.The L trigger is completely shattered in on my original DS. I do hope they've been made considerably tougher since then; even for Nintendium, that thing's pretty badly chipped, dented and battered.

I tried giving it a go at the insistence of friends head-over-heels for the series, but I found the humor to get a bit grating fast. Might just be a personal preference thing; I've only heard one other person voice some of my concerns about the cast, but they were nearly the same exact conclusions.
Crash Bandicoot N. Sanity Trilogy. I can't handle all this nostalgia.The trilogy is technically a remake, since they were basically built from scratch, but they want you to call it a remaster.
Got the platinum trophy for Crash 1 last night, so 102% completion plus all relics at gold or better. The High Road was a goddamn pain in the ass. Gameplay is exactly how I remember it, with a few bonuses like playable Coco and time trials for 1 and 2. Really, really pleased with this remake (remaster?).
Back to Crash 2.
Doom 2016 Arcade mode, also known as Dodoompachi. Been playing against shim, and it's been a long time since I had such fun with a scoring game. Extremely impressed with the mode, not to mention the game in general. This is pretty close to my idea of an ideal FPS, honestly. The extreme mobility combined with the quick and ultra-you left out the part where you're ranked #18 on the UAC, you bastard
violenceaggressive enemies makes it a real thrill to play.

Leads include Regil, Shion and Zelnite. I also have a boatload of other units, but not all of them are powered up. Are you by chance in a Guild already?
Also also, I'm kind of surprised the lobbies for Peach Beach Splash are so empty... at least the non-Ranked lobbies. Haven't tried Ranked yet.
At least it's not NISA, hah.Even with their tendency to mess with translations, they'd be an improvement.
And that's Blue Reflection done. I'm actually kinda crying right now. Now for the rest of the Trophies, of which I assume most of them involve maxing out the affection gauges of all twelve girls.How was it? Review I read said it wasn?t so hot.

It's an up-port of a PS Vita game, so there's a bunch of stuff that takes hits because of it.Are there any compelling reasons to play it?
If you're into magical girl transformation sequences, you get two of them for each character early in the game, then none afterward, not even with their upgraded weapons.
Combat can be pretty repetitive, especially once you get certain skills. After that, most trash mobs are one-shots after that point; and if you're doing all the sidequests between each chapter, literally only two bosses are any real trouble whatsoever on Normal.
There's only eight dungeon variants with only four or so rooms per variant which don't have real connections between each other (sometimes you'll go through one exit only to loop to the other exit, sometimes you'll be somewhere else entirely); four of the variants are just combinations of two variants. Even if you aren't specifically grinding for drops, you'll be wandering those eight places a ton. You also can only craft or upgrade your addons while in a dungeon, which was an odd decision.
Outside the dungeons, the only place you can wander around in is the school, so it sometimes feels pretty restrictive, even if you can go out with some of your girlfriends to a few places outside the school, a la the short interludes the Persona series took if you did a S. Link but didn't have enough points to actually upgrade the Link. Even with Fast Travel, Hinako moves kinda slow at school (admittedly, she does have a bad knee).
Artwork would have been a high point (all the art was created by the same person who did the Atelier Arland art); except that there's only a few art stills, and almost all of them during the credits.
Are there any compelling reasons to play it?Fanservice? There's occasional rainstorms during the course of the game, so you sometimes can see some of the girls with wet uniforms (and apparently the stuff's thin enough that you can easily see bras). Some of the DLC outfits are at minimum, kinda ecchi (modesty towels, middle-school style seifuku, school swimsuits, etc.). If you got Nights of Azure 2 with the DLC bundle, you can get some DLC to have the two leads swap outfits if you feel like it (though Aluche only gets the school uniform and Hinako gets the "literally only glowing pasties cover the nipples" Purification outfit). If you get Blue Reflection with its DLC bundle, you also get a Rorona outfit for Hinako.
(Also, I kind of hate that you can't really play the R18 version around other people because one character's running around topless.)I would think that you wouldn?t be able to play the R18 version around others in general, no matter the state of dress of the characters during normal play.
I would think that you wouldn't be able to play the R18 version around others in general, no matter the state of dress of the characters during normal play.Literally the only differences between all-ages and R18 is infrequent (and usually foreseeable) H scenes and two characters (the second's got hers mostly covered at least; from a distance, the fact that her nipples are showing isn't noticeable). Sure, you'd probably get weird looks playing a tactical RPG where only one character is a dude, but it's basically less-ecchi Rance at that point (and a few Vita games are a bit more mortifying to play in public, anyway).
So Tokyo Tattoo Girls is basically shit-tier Plague Inc., as it turns out. Pick a girl (each has different attributes), pick a place to start, then wait for ages for shit to happen, with occasional interaction with your girl to put more tattoos on her and trying (and failing) to understand how the kit they give you works.I had a feeling that it was going to be a garbage game when I spent an hour trying to find anything on the game other than it had girls with tattoos and finding zilch.
Nioh on Steam. My computer is old, which means I'm playing on minimum settings which still looks really good, but I watched someone with an actually good computer play and it's a heck of a lot faster than what I'm playing. Also, it's hard, and sometimes not in a fun way. Other than that, it's good.There's a bit more of a learning curve than Dark Souls, but a lot of that still transfers over. Carrying too much armor is bad for dodging and that helped a ton on the first boss. Also Hino Enma is terrible without a paralysis charm but almost too easy with one. Equipment in this game is generally nuts and gives all sorts of boosts that help give you a leg up.
Playing Xenoblade 2. I'm really feeling it, albeit not quite as much as Xenoblade 1. That said, Xenoblade 1 had set a high bar, and X2 is still a rather good game (I wish it would be a tad less anime, though).Real talk: How painfully *~*ANIME*~* does XB2 get? I've followed the series in all its forms since Gears and there's been a lot of praise for the game, but some of the character designs aren't exactly reassuring. My weeb phase has been in decline for 10 years and my upper tolerance for shounen cliches and awkward fanservice doesn't stretch that far beyond Persona 3-5 anymore. When I see that the female lead is jailbait in booty shorts and a magic bra I'm partially worried that the story and feel of the game follows suit, even though I'm hoping its a game that stands well on its own despite some design aesthetics. The original Xenoblade was a fantastic and I'm hoping for that kind of ethos. Anyway, just curious to know if it stands on its own or if the game will tell me to embrace a maid fetish like Tora's every time I turn on the console.
Also, Nia.

There?s obvious twists, but they were so well done and performed that I really liked them, and even the most annoying of the main characters (the Nopom, of course) is rather charming. That said, I would have to say that the major flaw of the game would have to be the character design direction: the main characters look like they fit a certain aesthetic, but when you get the special optional blades they have completely different aesthetics becUse they?re guest designed. Also, there?s an issue where, when you transition, the game doesn?t wait for all of the textures to finish loading.
Side note: Nia's part of the reason I'm still heavily invested in whether the game will be a good fit for another 120 hour romp or not.
Lots of things!Thanks for the input! I've probably pondered whether or not to buy this game more than I have any other in the last few years. It's gone back and forth a few times for sure. The long and short of things is that I'll most likely pick up a copy but I will also reserve the right to throw popcorn at my TV screen and wince when I feel like it.
After not playing it for years after initially buying it, I finally sat down and beat Mirror's Edge (PS3). In the end I can't come up with a solid opinion other than "unrealized potential." When the game was good- the levels flowed, the enemies were mere obstacles- it was amazing. When the game was bad- eaten jump inputs, clunky forced combat, obscure paths while being bombarded with gunfire- it was outright frstrating and borderline unfun. Heck even the end was unsatisfactory with it being the first of a planned trilogy (that of course never happened). Overall a roller-coaster of a game that left me feeling "meh."

If you ever feel curious about completing the time trials I'd nudge you to do it. I remember it leading me into some neat tutorial videos which then brought me down the mechanics/technique rabbit hole which was loads of fun. The time trials are speedrunning-style challenges (but mostly using different levels from regular game) where you have to find a path to reach all the waypoints in a fast enough time.
Playing my first Atelier series game... Sophie on my PS4 which I hadn't had play with since I bought it due to needing a converter, I do think this series is a hidden gem for me... I might try out Omega Quintet on my PS4 also tomorrow.Sophie's weird for me for some reason; I just can't get into it after you start being able to customize your cauldron. It's probably because I desperately want to min-max it, but I just don't have the mats for it.
Also I still can't beat Daidouji because fuck that beatmap and its impossible third segment.
Even in this thread, F.O.E., by which i mean i am playing Etrian Odyssey V. I've been EO fan for quite some time, and V is hella fun. So far made it to 3rd stratum. I am running Blade Master Masurao, Barrage Brawler Pugilist, Omnimancer Warlock, Hunting Hound Rover and Divine Herald Shaman. At times i am kinda regretting, that i don't have a pure tank i.e. dragoon, but with amounts of passive healing i have, i am mostly fine most of the time.The only thing holding me back from playing this is finishing EOU2. :V
Also i decided to try to beat a Shiny!FOE i encountered. Well... My pugilist is now 4 levels higher than the rest of my team.
Sounds like a fun bunch! The game has a lot of interesting classes. I've already done my homework looking at what's available. Having uh... 3 sources of passive healing (Animal Therapy, Appease Spirits, and hound-based auto heals?) is probably a bit crazy but if it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid. I think I'll need a designated healer for my bunch but I wonder what s/he'll do outside of that.Pugilist was more or less an auto-pick. Playing EO without binds, where at later stratums normal enemies tend to be "bind or die" is not my idea of fun.
Since there's a couple Etrian Odyssey fans in the thread, I'll take the opportunity to ask a question. So far I have only played the first game in the series. It was very enjoyable through and through, except I greatly disliked the post-game stratum (in terms of atmosphere it was fine, but horrible layout and gameplay). Based on this, what should be my next step in the series? Do I just go with Heroes of Lagaard and onwards? Do any later games include anything as hateful as EO1's post-game stratum?
All right, thanks for your answers. @dosboot EO2 sounds like a good choice, but what do you mean about a skill guide? Does the game itself include false information about its own mechanics?
Trying to get into PUBG a little bit, or maybe just experimenting. I certainly get the hype but I dunno.Yeah how'd that work out for you, champ?
Pugilist was more or less an auto-pick. Playing EO without binds, where at later stratums normal enemies tend to be "bind or die" is not my idea of fun.I think may actually plagiarize the crap out of that rover/shaman passive heal duo for when I start the game. With a chain fencer, deathbringer harbinger, hound rover, omni warlock, and herald shaman, I think the only major thing that I'd really miss is a revive spell.
That's already a thing as early as stratum 2 with moles. And then in 3rd stratum it's pretty much "bind legs or you're in for a world of hurt". When you think about it, 3rd stratum is hard in general. I find 4th to be easier actually so far.
Masurao does decent physical damage + she has some utility with def down and sleep skills.
Warlock is more or less a standard mage, Still good at what she does.
Rover is basically an extra member you can't quite control + passive healing + some other things. Jack of all trades more or less.
Shaman just plain sucks early game, but around level 30'ish becomes super good. Heals, buffs and all that.
Floor 25 is the best map. It has such a troll map design. It's awesome and i love it.
i am sooooo ready for the postgame. Let's see if 6th Stratum is super annoying like usual.
my 5 fencer run has reached the final boss
the best sword in the game, incidentally, is the petra flyssa
lucky petrify proc on crystal dragon, get dunked :V
Picked up Strange Journey Redux on Tuesday, playing on Expert fully aware of the horrors that await meGood luck. There's nothing but misery and death out there.

AdventHealth: What's it like to work here?
- Altamonte Springs, United States
- IndustryHospitals & Healthcare
I have been with the company over 15 years. We have gone from a "family" atmosphere to a very corporate atmosphere
What I like
I love it when I first started there. It was like a big family. By the second day on the job Linda, who worked in the cafeteria, knew your name and where you where working. She never forgot a name and she knew everybody. Always smiling and happy. Usually won the Easter bonnet contest every year but nobody cared because her "bonnets" were always fun.
What I dislike
As a healthcare facility our job is to care for the sick not to cater to the families. I had a patient refuse to go to ICU because her husband couldn't stay with her in ICU. She was in her mid 50's,stable and not in any imminent danger. I looked up from desk later that day to find the husband out in the hallway in HIS bathrobe. we go into patient rooms all the time and find family members in the bed with the patients. It makes it very difficult to give patients the care they need. I understand the need to treat the "whole" patient and that its different for new babies/parents and children but I don't understand the culture where it is ok for the families to move in with the patients when they in the hospital. I wish we had some better guidelines for this type of thing. I wish we focused more on treating the patients instead of the satifaction survey mailed to the unhappy family member who wanted the nurse with 6 patients to bring her 5 visiting friends a cup of coffee.
Suggestions for improvement
I would get and try and retain adequate quality staffing. Safe nursing/cna to patient ratios would be nice also.
Company Culture
Not a lot of teamwork going on right now
Internal Communication
Unfortunatley they communicate with us very frequently
we seem to be having a mass exidus right now so co-workers are not necessarily working well together
Work-Life Balance
You can choose to work overtime or not
Support from management
New manangment so we will see
Freedom to work independently
We are micro managed
Inclusive / Diverse
Independant thinking is not necessarily encouraged even though we are told it is
Gender Equality
men and womem are treated the smae
Attitude towards older colleagues
Some of the "older" employees have been let go but I feel it is more to do with their length of employment rather than age
Office / Work Environment
work areas are adequate
Environmental Friendliness
Starting recycling in the 3-4 years
Handicapped Accessibility
very handicapped accessible. We are a hospital after all
Workplace Safety
we get LOTS of training
Overall compensation for your work
Until 2 months ago people with my qualifications who worked less than 20 miles from but for the same company but different hospital made more money that I did
Job Security
As stable as any other job
Company Image
It's a job
Challenging Work
My work can be challanging most days

He's growing from the most hidden and softest parts of my own self. Wild flesh. My own desire.
This is the latest novel from Jana Beňová, the Slovak author of Seeing People Off, of which you can find my review here: https://bookstalkerblog.wordpress.com/2017/04/13/seeing-people-off-a-novel-by-jana-benova/ In Away! Away! Rosa leaves her husband behind, the story is short and yet packs a lot of punch in the telling with a few pages of prose. There is a bit of her youth in snippets, such as how much she cried during her first days of high school. Of how yearning is born, be it for Paris (even if it's just a city within herself) or red wine, cigarettes. Her frustration is evident in her head scratching and intolerance of all the cuckoos, those women who always have something to say, you have to read it. She seems hungry for escape, from work, from her husband, wishing only to distance herself from the struggle of adapting to everything expected of a woman. "And there's the fear that someone will come along and utter the truth: she's a fake." An endless cycle of cuckoos.
Then there are the kisses from which she can't catch her breath. She is Away Away and on the road, she can't truly escape can she? She meets Pierre, who wants to join her and Corman on the road taking his puppet's to put on The Snow Queen. The characters swirl through Rosa's mind, which character does she resemble, will she remain as wooden as a puppet forever, doomed to be imprisoned by the body of the man she loves, the memories that travel with you even if you attempt escape, because in the end there is no such thing, really, as Away! Away!
It is fiery passion always at the start of love and slowly, with familiarity comes the disenchantment, the want for freedom, to return just to the self again without the restrains of love. The writing is different from other styles and you have to really be still and quiet to catch what is being said. It is a bit like pillaging someone's private runaway thoughts. Conflicted emotionally, striving for rebirth that never comes because once you're hatched, well you're hatched. I know my thoughts are running off the train tracks here, but it's the mood I am in after finishing this unique book. The writing reminds me of someone purging their thoughts on scraps of paper and just walking away. I have to give a nod to the book cover too, it's fabulous!

A Farewell to Arms
When I Was a Young Man
"Anything processed by memory is fiction."
—Wright Morris, in a lecture at Princeton, December 2, 1971, as quoted by Paul Fussell in The Great War and Modern Memory. Wright Morris was born in Central City, Nebraska, in 1910.
In 1851, Thomas Kerry, from the village of Trieshon in Lincolnshire, England, sailed across the Atlantic to Boston, where two years later he married Frances Reynolds, who had also emigrated from Lincolnshire. The new family pushed west, to Galena, Illinois, and it was in Galena that Thomas Kerry added a second "e" to his name, making it "Kerrey," perhaps because the earlier spelling had the burden of an Irish connotation in a new world where, on the social ladder, the Irish were just a rung above people of color. The family grew to seven children, and succeeding generations struck out to various other points on the American compass—Manistee, Michigan; Chattanooga; Chicago; Duluth. This was an America on the move, a land where boom was followed by bust, and where, when mothers died either young or in childbirth, as was not uncommon, spinster or widowed relatives were enlisted to help raise the motherless children; refusing the enlistment was not an option. James Kerrey, the father of Robert, was born in 1913; his mother died of toxemia less than three months later, his father of a chill a year after that. A widowed aunt in her mid-fifties with grown children of her own was entrusted with the care of the infant James and of his brother John, older by two years.
According to Kerrey family lore, John Kerrey was a road rat who rode the rails during the Depression, moving from hobo jungles to, finally, the Civilian Conservation Corps. The eligibility requirements for the CCC were simple: the applicant had to be a male American citizen, unemployed, free of venereal disease, and to have "three serviceable teeth, top and bottom." Both John and James Kerrey served as army officers in the Second World War. John was killed in the Philippines; James did not get overseas until hostilities ended. In 1946, James Kerrey, married and with a growing family (there would be seven children), after many intermediate stops in the Midwest and South, settled for good in Bethany, a suburb of Lincoln, Nebraska, and opened a lumber, coal, and hardware business. James and Elinor Kerrey's third child, and third son, was J. Robert, called Bob, a Congressional Medal of Honor winner in Vietnam, former Democratic governor of Nebraska, and two-term US senator.
When I Was a Young Man is the first volume of Bob Kerrey's memoirs. On its smooth, flat surface, it is the story of a thoroughly conventional Midwestern childhood in a thoroughly conventional Midwestern family, with thoroughly conventional Mark Hanna Midwestern Republican politics—limited government and low taxes—and thoroughly conventional Midwestern Protestant beliefs. The family worshiped at the Bethany Christian Church, where Sunday services were preceded by an hour of Bible study, and the young were welcomed into God's…

Muhammed Ali
"Floats like a butterfly, stings like a bee, his hands can't hit what his eyes can't see," was the motto depicting the famous Muhammed Ali. With the passing of the 74 year old heavyweight boxer, one naturally looks intriquely into his life. Mature readers will remember him as Cassius Clay. He took on his present name when he changed his religion to Islam. Though many sportsmen appeared on a box of Wheaties, Ali's picture was the first. The 6' 3" professional had boundless confidence. Not only did he dance in the ring, but he also danced with chosen words to prominently describe himself and his abilities. One of his quotes was: "I done something new for this fight. I wrestled with an alligator. I tussled with a whale. I handcuffed lightning. I thrown thunder in jail. Only last week I murdered a rock, injured a stone, hospitalized a brick. I'm so mean I make medicine sick."
Howard Cosell did several interviews with Ali on the Wide World of Sports. From 1964 to 1974, Ali portrayed himself in several movies such as Rocky. After 9/11, he participated in fundraising events for 9/11. On March 3, 1971, Joe Frazier fought Ali and won. This was Ali's first defeat. In 1974, he regained his title against George Foreman. In his boxing career, he took on many techniques of Sugar Ray Robinson. As years passed, Joe and Ali would connect again and become friends. He made his mark in life--one of honor and integrity. Billy Crystal imitated Ali's actions to audiences around the world. Ali's confidence was a positive example to his kids. In 1981, Ali retired from his boxing career. Though he suffered from Parkinson's, he didn't allow it to steal his joy. He lived victorious in almost every aspect of his life.
