Re: What games are you playing?
Hah, yeah, I've heard that 2 is... very different from 1, to put it mildly. And then 3 goes on to be very different from 2. Kind of weird how that series changed genres every game.pholtos wrote:And then you play the second game and go "what the heck happened"YelseyKing wrote:I got the Jak trilogy for Christmas, so I figured I'd take a short break from my Shadow Hearts marathon and play the first game.

He did that to me for 2 of them. I was less annoyed and more just giggling in hilariously stupid ways by about the 4th time. (Luckily everyone else was asleep.)BurntTenda wrote:I beat my firstMenace dungeon

After every encounter Prompto just continuously said,
"Woohoo, we're alive! Let's celebrate by eating something dead!"
After every encounter.
It got a little annoying.
Also congrats. I felt underwhelmed to see what the Menace dungeons were. Still did them all, but blarg, I was hoping for at least something a little different here and there.
The last one aside anyway.
To BurntTenda
Pitioss was weird. Most of it was really neat and despite FF15 not really being built around stuff like that, it played surprisingly well. And then there were about 3 moments(jumps) that had me to a near boiling point. Jumping from one tiny steel beam to another in third person with fucking momentum on Noctis' movement... ugh. That giant spike skull wall was bad ass looking though.
Going through there, I forgot I was even playing FF15. Really it didn't feel like FF at all and was one of the more bizarre things in the series for me. Really neat though and seeing how the game handled that dungeon so well, I couldn't help but feel like some other parts of the game could have benefited from things like that.
Also I <3 the soundtrack. Really good like usual. Favorite track

Thinking in 45 degree angles, awesome yet strange and sometimes difficult.
I've been focusing on doing hunts in FFXV.
I kinda wish you could take on more than 1 at a time...
Oh yeah, I have a Youtube channel

Re: What games are you playing?
The only quibbles I have about the game are that it felt kind of cheap that many of the power cells were just "buy for X0 orbs", but I guess it at least made it worthwhile to *collect* the orbs. Shame nothing appears to be unlocked for 100% power cells or orbs, but it was fun gathering them all, at least. The other issue is that the double jump mechanic felt... off. Sometimes the game just wouldn't let me double jump, and while I could never concretely put my finger on just what caused it, my best guess is that if you're over a bottomless pit, and you descend even slightly from your initial jump, the game will register you as falling, and won't let you get off the second jump. Extremely annoying, and made the final stage *much* harder to get through than it was probably intended to be... but it wasn't game-ruining or anything.
Also, rather interesting how the 100% ending is a massive sequel hook, yet the next game went in a *completely* different direction. Go figure.

Also I picked up Crash Team Racing again from a fresh save to unlock everything legit and do a 101% run I think? Pretty sure I read somewhere all platinum relics gets you an extra 1%, I dunno, ANYWAY who the heck decided Slide Colosseum's times? I should not be beating the platinum relic time by 30+ seconds, that's absurd. 25 on Tiny Arena? Okay, that's a long track, a bit of leniency is reasonable. Slide Colosseum isn't even that long though? >_>

Re: What games are you playing?
The controls are janky as hell, and the framerate is even worse, but I'll be damned if I didn't get invested by the end.

I remember hearing the notion that The Last Guardian is a PS4 game, with the graphics of a PS3 game, and the control scheme of a PS2 game. However, still team Ico, so it's not all bad.Ashan wrote:I played through The Last Guardian this weekend.

The controls of Ico and SotC were clunky/awkward until you learned them, but you could tell it was intentional because they wanted the characters to control human-y, as in, they'd stumble around and whatnot. So I expected that with The Last Guardian, but literally the first room in the game is the perfect demonstration of how downright broken the running around is. The kid will straight up get stuck on the spot and start running in place. It's bizarre.

Re: What games are you playing?
It's every bit as good as its fans say it is. I'm very much enjoying it. It's so delightfully strange. It's a shame how it sold so poorly, when damn near everyone, as I've heard, loved it, critics and players alike.

I dunno that I'd go so far as to call it 'hard' even honestly - certainly harder than I'd have ever been able to manage as the dumb kid I was on my first run, but once you work out a good setup and strategy he really can't do a whole hell of a lot to threaten you. As long as you like, think, and stay at all focused on the video game in front of you he's really not all he's cracked up to be imo.
I still enjoyed myself, mind you, but I was ready for a fight thrice that length. >:p

Re: What games are you playing?
The funniest part about Omega Weapon, which I learned from the FF Wiki last time I played FF8, is that he follows an extremely rigid script: He'll *always* use the same attacks in the same order, so you can prepare for them ahead of time once you know what that order is. Made the fight an absolute joke.Zyglrox Odyssey wrote:I dunno that I'd go so far as to call it 'hard' even honestly - certainly harder than I'd have ever been able to manage as the dumb kid I was on my first run, but once you work out a good setup and strategy he really can't do a whole hell of a lot to threaten you.

Re: What games are you playing?
To be fair, I only like a few of them myself. II, Super, and Neon were great. This one feels like it's basically a sequel to II from what I've seen, plus I already got a decent brawler in River City: Tokyo Rumble. Well, I might check it out eventually.SAJewers wrote:Picked up Double Draogn IV on Steam. It's not bad, though I feel as if I would appreciate it more if I was more nostalgic for the Series.
Glad you beat it the normally and not by using super-overpowered Selphie. She can one-shot it with a limit break called The End. It's so much more fun fighting him the natural way.Zyglrox Odyssey wrote:Omega Weapon
