What games are you playing?
Re: What games are you playing?
A single-player experience will probably see you lose in a dungeon, level your health and attack up back in town, and then retry through these procedurally-generated dungeons. Interesting idea that also kind of rushes itself to a half-hearted conclusion. The game itself was fun, though.

Re: What games are you playing?
I'm up to the first bonus map in Fire Emblem (the one with Lyn and Eliwood and Hector), I'm on the road to Lich in Final Fantasy 1, I'm on my way back to Altair after the first trip to Finn in Final Fantasy 2, I'm about to start the Sector 5 Bombing Mission in Final Fantasy 7, I'm still cleaning up core battles in Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and I'm still scratching away at Vast Poni Canyon in Pokemon Ultra Sun

Re: What games are you playing?
Answer sheet:
Also been trying to get medals in the Main Game of Kirby Canvas Curse, trying to find the second one in the Silver Submarine stage of Iello Adventure. Unlocked three nostalgic song collections, the Zebra line and the Beads line. The lines are really cute, really enjoying the beads one. Need to try out the straight pride one sometime too lol
Edit: Now at the Ruined Town on the Demon's Star in PoPoLoCrois Monogatari. Difficulty is ass. I'll trudge onwards slowly but surely. The encounter rate and the sequence of battles before the
scene where Pietro meets his mother Sania
are really annoying and even with auto-battle it's random whether I win or not. Ragequit when getting owned in theDorun of the West
battle sent me all the way back to outside theruined Popolocrois Castle Town
and next to Mack the Whale. I'll reload from a save at theruined school
, rewatch the scenes andfight Dorun again
. Apparently his Giga Storm attack can have its attack reduced by Wind Talismans, but I think I might only have 3 of those (or I'm confusing the 3 with Ice Talismans, no idea).MaGL Patch Collection / vg backlog spreadsheet / animu list / mcmangos / steam

Re: What games are you playing?
I'd still recommend it if you can get it for cheap. 1 is good and the par times aren't hard. 2 is good but the par times feel pretty "optimized" but 100% doable. Academy is still fun but the gimmick is you can see the whole level and the game kinda loses its charm a bit with that, but still fun.

Dorun
, which felt like I got lucky on top of having two Wind Talismans and two Dragon Talismans on my party, so it didn't feel good. But yeah Chapter 4: The Ice Demon on PoPoLoCrois Monogatari, boyeeeeeee. Rescued Narcia after shewent into a deep sleep due to Pietro discovering she was Kai when she detransformed in front of him as he was waking up from being unconscious
by getting a Sorm Flower at the Fountain of Hurry (Fountain of Gallop in the PSP version, that name doesn't feel like it makes sense). Now I have to go back to the Fountain and head to the Lands of Ice in the distant north.MaGL Patch Collection / vg backlog spreadsheet / animu list / mcmangos / steam

Re: What games are you playing?
An excellently, heartwarmingly written game with gorgeous graphics and an interesting battle system, sadly marred by an unbalanced difficulty curve. Literally the only thing keeping me from giving me a full on 5. Worth the experience.
The story is a fairytale like story of a young prince searching to bring back his mother from the World of Darkness, turning into a battle where the outcome could rewrite the fate of the kingdom of Popolocrois! Full of charm, full of love, full of soul. The battle system is an interesting mix of traditional turn based and strategy with positioning, but also with a guts meter that you have to keep a handle on to maintain your attacks' strength or beef them up. Honestly a bit of a hassle but w/e.
If I had to choose one thing I have a problem with is the gag involving Gami Gami's crush on Narcia in chapter 2, considering Gami Gami is very much a middle aged manlet and Narcia looks to be about Pietro's age, i.e. ten? Once MatatabiMitsu and their mistery hacker's translation patch comes out, promise me you'll play it!
Or else... (#・∀・)
EDIT: Chapter 7 of The Legend of Heroes III: White Witch heyoo

Yozora
. Two several hour long sessions have not been enough to beat it so far lolYozora
are good examples of this. That said even the more static fights are still pretty dang fun, so long as they don't drag on for too long.- KobaBeach

1) getting owned on purpose
2) choosing to be transported to the last town I was in (Phaeth)
3) stocking up on items on various shops to prepare for
both forms of Agni'ja
properly4) then teleporting back to Bernice Castle
out of the picture just yet though.

Re: What games are you playing?
Sinclair did not do a traitor
, while you still had tokill him
), the plasmids became fun (especially the 11th-hour superpower you get), the game felt frantic and interesting. My only letdown was the lack of a satisfying endboss like Fontaine was in the original (like I wanted to punch Sofia Lamb so hard), but that was acceptable.It's just too bad the game dragged before getting to this point. My biggest complaint of the whole game is the Little Sisters harvesting thing. I understood the reasoning for it, for they wanted to make something distinct from the "kill Big Daddy, deal with Little Sister" of the original. But the fact is the whole mechanic, based on one of the most annoying sequences in the original, is just a glorified form of Tower Defense, which is a game genre I've always found tedious. It got somewhat better once I got the gene tonic that accelerated the process (and once I ceased researching, also tedious), but that was only late in the game. It stifled pacing of the game dramatically, and made it a slog. That they made DLC with that specific mechanic in mind is mind-boggling. I will be skipping that DLC (Protector Trials), though I will do Minerva's Den, if only because I want to know what happened to Tenenbaum (she just ghosts after she hands you off to Sinclair).

Re: What games are you playing?
Monaty is really adorable, she keeps calling the protagonist master (first goshujin-sama, now masuta-) due to them saving her and Gaum from becoming pets for the Mahn Brothers after they bought them from a circus that was in Seijent at the time. She acts like a pet in a human body, which makes sense because she's basically a Maetropan, of the Rebbit kind specifically (not a typo), so she's essentially a rabbit girl. I'd do weed with her if she didn't look like. 14. And also if I did weed.
Gaum is a little cat (it looks like a dog tho) buddy that's pretty powerful. According to the official site,
it's a mass of magical energy of indeterminate form
, which is baller and metal as hell.I'm gonna try to level Mona and Gaum up a bit to use em.
So far Acute came up to the Flat hideout to
make a deal with the protagonist so they used their power to help them assassinate Imuran, eldest of the Mahn Brothers and occasional shit-stirrer in the story (sort of a goldfish poop gang if you'll excuse the tropelish)
of course, the Flat gang said no. Curious...you must do it

Re: What games are you playing?
Hyrule Warriors AoC is going well. Forgot I'm replaying Yoshi's Island 100% for the heck of it after being mildly annoyed that Yoshi's Crafted World isn't the same thing. Forgot that the weird obscure hidden stuff was always part of the Yoshi series though

Re: What games are you playing?
EDIT: At Chapter 12: The Blue Faction ~The Visitor~ in Summon Night.
Acute has stopped working to oppress the citizens thanks to Leid and joined forces with Flat so now I have Stout, Ramda, Pelgo and Sesil. Might get Cysalis and Elias later on
. Akane, Locus and Monaty ate shit in the previous two battles of Ch11 though, and I really don't want the Demon Lord ending (be a general asshole, let friends die a lot) so im going to level everyone up on the Spinel Plateau free battle.Also need to get the Eluka sidequest. I might not have been able to get Sivon - a bow user would really be great though, also more girls in my sausage fest of a party, so far i only have Akane, Sesil and Monaty, clearly I should have gone with Natsumi as the protag - or Wizell - who is hot as fuck and his slightly younger but still DILF SN3 incarnation is even cuter, not to diss the sheer magnum dong power of silver fox GILFs ofc - but fuck it I'll get Eluka, Lipre and Sion. Getting Wizell would have also netted me the Summonite Sword which is basically the Ultima Weapon (weapon weapon not Weapon as in the biomech superbosses) of the game, so oops.
Really looking forward to playing this when I have a better grasp on ye ol' Nihongo, because it feels like a really chill shounen anime-esque adventure in terms of plot. Basically a serious isekai without the gross shit, which I'm pretty sure is a thing but is sadly hidden amongst the pile of gross fucking isekais like GATE or Shield Hero (which apparently both come from Shousetsuka ni Narou, which from what I've heard in Unseen Japan, has a huge netouyo userbase problem amongst writers despite it being prominent enough that highly rated web novels on there become light novels and anime... :thonking:).
