Re: What games are you playing?
I started getting through KH3's DLC.
It's been neat.
I also very much like the weird data greeting feature.
It's fun to mess around with.

Re: What games are you playing?
I'm on the fence on playing Dangannronpa. I'm pretty content with wrapping up FFIX, but after that anything goes I guess. Looks like I'll be either replaying something again or perhaps try something new relatively soon.

Re: What games are you playing?
I played through the FFVII Remake (is that really the name?) demo and it was pretty fun!
I gotta say, considering there's 15 mainline entries in this series, it's pretty impressive that they could have easily shit out a bunch of turn-based games and become the JRPG Call of Duty, but instead keep putting out games with new battle systems. It's possible something similar to this has been done before, (I'm definitely not enough of an RPG guy to know) but of the handful of FF games I've played (X, X-II, XIII, and VII remake) they all have completely different battle systems which is laudable!

Re: What games are you playing?
Dragon Quest is the same game in terms of gameplay everytime, but it always has a different story to tell and the localization job is always very well done, so not even that is the CoD of JRPGs.Ashan wrote: ↑4 years ago I gotta say, considering there's 15 mainline entries in this series, it's pretty impressive that they could have easily shit out a bunch of turn-based games and become the JRPG Call of Duty, but instead keep putting out games with new battle systems.

I'd go as far as to say that the closest thing to a CoD or NSMB of JRPGs is Pokémon, but I don't wanna piss off the Nintendo folk.

Re: What games are you playing?
FF1-3 and 4-9 all have variants on the same basic battle system, albeit with each one having a completely different skill system. 10 was when they started experimenting more. That said, none of the earlier games exactly felt phoned in, either; each one was full featured, had a completely different cast and setting (albeit with some crossover), and back in their days, were all fairly major releases, as RPGs go. One of the great things about the series was that no two games in it were completely alike... at least until they churned out some of those budget spinoffs that come across as bad ROM hacks... lookin' at you, FF4 spinoffs. :blobglare:Ashan wrote: ↑4 years ago I gotta say, considering there's 15 mainline entries in this series, it's pretty impressive that they could have easily shit out a bunch of turn-based games and become the JRPG Call of Duty, but instead keep putting out games with new battle systems.

Re: What games are you playing?
I was playing DBZ Kakarot for a bit. Very repetitive game, but it at least has team battles going on and some fast fighting and flying around. It's one of those deals where if you're a fan of the show, the game will probably click for you more. I would've loved this fluff stuff in 2000, but not so much in 2020 where the gameplay needs to be the hook. I'll probably get through it eventually. Stopped halfway through for now.
Re: What games are you playing?
I started playing Touhou games. A Shooting Game, STG. At first, I died a lot in the field on Touhou 6 EoSD. X key spamming in the field and Cirno mid-boss. So I practice many times to memorize enemies' spell card pattern. Touhou games really take a lot of time to beat. A few moments later.... I was defeated in level 5. Hmm.. Touhou 6 is hard for normal people. Let's try Touhou 8 then~ As soon as I played the game, I think this is better than Touhou 6. But the most annoying star-shaped bullets kill me so many times. Marisa stole my precious lives.. I wonder what the TIME System is.
Which Touhou game is the greatest for a beginner??
and..
What do you think is the easiest Touhou game?
I'm totally bad at STG.... Please give me EXTEND!! Also, I want to "GET SPELL CARD BONUS!!"

Re: What games are you playing?
Personally, while Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom (TH15) is very hard and has one of the hardest bosses, I think that the Pointdevice Mode and Graze mechanics of that game are excellent for learning Touhou and getting deeper into it. I bounced off Perfect Cherry Blossom, Subterranean Animism and many others until I tried LoLK and the altered progression let me understand the game a lot better.

Re: What games are you playing?
Honestly Imperishable Night and Ten Desires, purely for the Spell Practice option.
My advice, credit feed through the game on your early playthroughs, then grind out stage and spell practice once you unlock the levels by beating them. Don't stress yourself out with too much practice, else you'll burn out. You should be fine.
Aim for 1cc!
I dunno... I wouldn't really recommend starting off with a game that has Clownpeace. You have to keep in mind that the game is partially designed to be like a IWBTG shmup.BobisOnlyBob wrote: Personally, while Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom (TH15) is very hard and has one of the hardest bosses, I think that the Pointdevice Mode and Graze mechanics of that game are excellent for learning Touhou and getting deeper into it.
Pointdevice mode felt a lot like Toaplan checkpoints to me which is something I don't particularly like unless the shmup is well designed around it, like having Toaplan checkpoints shortly before a powerup point, so the player has to survive through a small but simple barrage of enemies before recharging themselves.

Re: What games are you playing?
Wow! You raise me strong. Thank you for your advice. When I watched a LoLK video on YouTube, I was worried if I could handle this game. I think it's okay because the game gives me infinite opportunities. Today, I just finished Stage 4 in Normal without using the X Key.BobisOnlyBob wrote: ↑4 years ago Personally, while Legacy of Lunatic Kingdom (TH15) is very hard and has one of the hardest bosses, I think that the Pointdevice Mode and Graze mechanics of that game are excellent for learning Touhou and getting deeper into it.

Re: What games are you playing?
Speaking of FF7, I'm climbing Gaea's Cliff this weekend. It's weird, but somehow I'm playing worse now that I'm cheating than when I play normally (I gave myself one of each non-summon materia at the start of the game).

Re: What games are you playing?
Playing Touhou 15 is likely to be a worthy challenge. It's a miracle that I cleared stage 4 without using the X-key.

I want to face with a girl in a dress with an American flag on it. Actually, I talked with Clownpeace on stage 5. She said, "It's Lunatic tiiime!!" And I panicked and hit a bullet!!
Let's finish Touhou 15!!!! I'm falling into TH15 more and more....

Re: What games are you playing?
It's kind of sad that the FFIV sequels kind of thudded the way they did. That was the end of a period where they were willing to put more effort into remaking these games and branching out. Subsequent remasters range somewhere between somewhat acceptable (FFIX, FFX, FFXII) and so phoned in they deserve no legitimacy (FFV, FFVI)YelseyKing wrote: ↑4 years ago FF1-3 and 4-9 all have variants on the same basic battle system, albeit with each one having a completely different skill system. 10 was when they started experimenting more.

The VII remake being this whole new game series is...good I guess? I'm hopeful about some of the things they've done (like, oh hey, Mark Hamill is goddamn Don Corneo), and the combat looks interesting. But it does mean we will likely not see another Final Fantasy for some time (I'm willing to bet XVI will not even be announced until 2023 at the earliest), to say nothing of a remake that actually has effort put into it.
(Also, good lord does Barret sound like Superfly Johnson)
Gotten further along New Vegas. This game feels more difficult than I expected. I sort of get the sense Obsidian wanted to avoid making this game a rompy romp that FO3 could be, and it shows. Like, it takes a few hours between start and finding a place where you can drop your loot and rest occasionally, which is not the case in FO3 (it's literally in the scope of your first mission). Ammo feels less available, and while I get the sense you should follow the game's plot along a bit before you really dive into the open world setting, it can still feel a tad punishing. The fact you face high-level enemies like Nightkin early on is telling, and buying weapons seems out of the question unless you really gamble (which at this stage is Caravan only). Also, I'm very wary about taking on missions with specific factions this early on even though I want to because I don't want to lock myself out of factional missions for fun. I finished up the Novac main quest point, on to Boulder City at this point?
Re: What games are you playing?
Speeding through DBZ Kakarot. Doing the side missions is what makes it longer, but at the same time, they're all worth it for the experience points since they're nearly ten to twenty times what you earn through non-story fights. I kind of want to get the platinum for it this weekend before moving on to editing vids again.

Okay just to pop back in with this...Ashan wrote: ↑4 years ago Alright I was willing to overlook some of the similarities in bosses between Nioh and the FromSoft games. I hadn't even brought up the obvious Quelaag clone, but this DLC boss in Nioh is a young-looking, caped woman with silver hair and fights with a sword.
I immediately thought of Lady Mariah from the Bloodborne DLC. And if that wasn't enough, THEY NAMED HER MARIA
They're not even trying to hide it at this point!
I completely forgot but they literally refer to her as Lady Maria in a cutscene

Re: What games are you playing?
Been playing some games in Japanese to help improve my skills.
So far I'm at Bloodpool in ActRaiser, got to the Otafuku Headquarters in Goemon 1 SNES and I'm at The Desert in Disney's Aladdin for the MegaDrive.
I'm European so I can say MegaDrive

Re: What games are you playing?
Speaking of Nioh DLC characters seeming to be lifted straight from other things
There's this character that I saw and immediately thought "that looks like a character that should be in Naruto." Mainly because he's a ninja with basically a hidden leaf headband and one of those mouth-covering masks. And then I find out his name is Sarutobi Sasuke. Hmmm
Also I just finished off the Scion of Virtue mission and boy that was kind of a long one. Took me almost 90 minutes to complete from start to finish!

yep, his name is directly ripped from folklore. Ninja Warrior was named after him in the Japanese broadcast (called Sasuke), and i guarantee Sasuke Uchiha was named after him too

Well I didn't know he was based off of a real guy but regardless my point stands that no other character in the game looks like a Naruto character, just the one that happens to be named Sasuke
Re: What games are you playing?
I'm playing Touhou 15: Lunatic of Lunatic Klownpeace. I found a bug while playing this game. It is wrong to say "Normal" in the upper right corner of the screen. It should be fixed with "HELL". How much beer did ZUN drink when he made this game?
