Lightchao42 Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Noel is a bad judge of character, did she see that haircut? Spoiler Since the owner of that haircut is probably Novartis, I'll say that I didn't think he would show up physically so soon. He doesn't look how I expected him to, but the "gleefully mad scientist" appearance fits him. I also thought he might be the lost fourth disciple of C. Epstein, but it seems he was mentored by Joerg so now I'm not sure... Also I fought Abyss Worms... again. I miss Tio... Randy too but I would've liked another source of healing. 23 hours ago, Armagon said: Yeah as far as Ganondorf goes, you're right. Demise is his predecessor in Skyward Sword, Ganon is a means to an end in Link Between Worlds and Calamity Ganon is just a force of nature in Breath of the Wild. Ganondorf has not been seen since Twilight Princess and, as of right now, they haven't actually name-dropped him in Tears of the Kingdom yet. While I liked the "Ganon as a primal, shapeless force of evil" concept in BotW, I would like another take on human Ganondorf, so hopefully TotK delivers on that front. 3 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: NGL the "filler" supports this time around are damn good.

Armagon Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Mermaid's Cave is quite possibly my least favorite dungeon in the series. All those errands for a short 30 minute dungeon that kinda made me feel miserable with the little bits adding up, an item and boss fight with wonky controls and enemies that are incredibly annoying to deal with. At least after that we got to rescue Nayru. Not often in Zelda where the damsel is rescued before the final dungeon. Now let's see. How to enter Jabu-Jabu's Belly, the infamous seventh dungeon Observer and Lightcosmo have talked about. *looks at walkthrough* *Sees a whole-ass peer-reviewed scientific paper* Yeah that's enough Oracle of Ages for tonight.

Interdimensional Observer Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 *Watches a documentary that, as an aside, proposes the reason Homo sapiens is the only surviving member of the homo genus, might be because it was the friendliest Homo species.* Yuck. My natural evolutionary history is getting contaminated by that "power of friendship" garbage! 4 hours ago, Shrimpy -Limited Edition- said: Ikr? I really hate how chain attacks are locked to 80% ngl. A multi-hit attack with accuracy problems? Reminds me of Squall Volley in Etrian Odyssey IV. Used by without care, it had really low accuracy for a skill that could hit up to like 16 times *MissMissMissMissHitMissMissMissMissMissHitMissMissHit*. The skill was salvageable however. You could buff accuracy or debuff enemy evasion, but those weren't great. The best solution was to hit the bad guy with a Leg Bind or Blind, maybe Paralysis, these outright negated the ability to dodge, assuring every Squall Volley hit landed. As for landing the infliction in the first place, well unless the enemy was immune or extremely resistant, it was realistically possible to do even against bosses. 2 hours ago, Armagon said: It's not in the menus? Not that I've noticed. Although, everyone does have a page for bonding quests, which recap each event you've so far seen with them (reminds me of TMS). Not sure how many events per character, I've seen the most with Pamela so far- four. Vayne being the MC has the story of the game itself as his. I'm in the last chapter before the game gets to the third -and certainly last (70% completion on one character's Grow Book now)- year at the academy. So I don't think anyone can have more than maybe seven events total. 1 hour ago, Armagon said: This feels like the Chinese knockoff of Persona 5, only it's official. developer Black Wings Game Studiohave officially announced Persona 5: The Phantom X Black Wings Game Studio is a video game developer headquartered in China, and a subsidiary of Perfect World Games. It literally is! Says it right there on Gematsu. Perfect World Games I saw comments saying were responsible for publishing a mobile game called Tower of Fantasy. Which I remember hearing of when it first released- it was formulaically crafted to compete with that colossus known as Genshin Impact and scientifically appeal to the Chinese mobile gamer. (Tower of Fantasy, initially at least, ended up being a huge letdown, the Chinese didn't eat it up like they mathematically should've.) Gematsu also says that The Phantom X has only been confirmed for China so far. Further emphasizing this as a project for China. Presumably Sega/Atlus gets some money out of the Chinese market, and the Chinese dev gets to use a popular international IP that might make the gatcha game sell. Reminds me how I once heard of a Story of Seasons mobile game for China, not sure if it ever left the country, wouldn't surprise me if it didn't. What lay below gets into talk of the Chinese government.: I also saw comments that believe the reason The Phantom X is focused on "desire" as its theme, boils down to the... unique circumstances of game development in China. Persona 5 I'm told has "corrupt figures of authority" as a theme, that could not possibly work in China. The CCP would never allow it, the regime, being top-down and distrustful of a free society like all Chinese governments since forever, has to bureucratically approve of the development of new games for the domestic market. The authoritarian regime being obsessed with maintaining a fairly moral order, video game consoles aren't common in the PRC, nor -officially- many of the games we in the free world partake of. The CCP also heavily limits gaming time for minors, to a couple hours on the weekends basically. This makes the gatcha model -so I once heard- so common there. With time per player limited, gatcha is a way of maximizing profits (which can still be big, as China, despite concerns of an aging society, is still over one-billion people) and it lets players spend money to get the most out of their precious game time. The lengthy JRPGs we are used to in the West, are morally problematic, and simply not compatible with Chinese society as shackled as it is. -I might be over-exaggerating here, this is based on secondhand information from the Internet. Another side of effect of the Chinese regime- you'll never see their video game females being too scantily clad; nor the men too effete, the gov't hates pretty boys too. (K-pop bands are frowned upon. Fanclubs are also disapproved of b/c devotion to a celebrity is not loyalty to the gov't.) While the chances are slim that I'll find 👬 dudes in Japanese games, the chance is absolute nil from China, because, while not outright outlawing s/s relations, no surprise that an authoritarian administration would if not harshly then "softly" condemn "deviancy". -Although, the PRC can do nothing to stop international audiences from queer-shipping and making lewdart of all sexual preferences of the characters its studios create (I unintentionally stumbled into proof of this). 2 minutes ago, Armagon said: Mermaid's Cave is quite possibly my least favorite dungeon in the series. All those errands for a short 30 minute dungeon that kinda made me feel miserable with the little bits adding up, an item and boss fight with wonky controls and enemies that are incredibly annoying to deal with. The fact you have to exit and reenter the dungeon several times b/c of it being in two time periods had me concerned about what you'd think of it. I am critical of the Mermaid Suit imprecise tap-based movement, not sure why they went with that. (What also bothers me is a lack of official artwork of Link in the Mermaid Suit. I’m curious how it looks on him. Mermen might be a thing, yet it feels like the Mermaid Suit couldn’t possibly have been invented in a game with better graphics, it’d be “too weird” seeing Link dressed like that in actual detail. -And no, this doesn’t have anything with me being ya know, I’m not drawn to the blank slate that Link is.) 4 minutes ago, Armagon said: At least after that we got to rescue Nayru. Not often in Zelda where the damsel is rescued before the final dungeon. The Possessed Nayru battle also hammers home the issue you've mentioned of being able to only equip two items b/c Game Boy limitations. You have no choice but to frequently hit pause during that little boss fight. 7 minutes ago, Armagon said: Now let's see.

I'm plenty awake, I'll run through it first.😜 I happen to coincidentally have an unfinished OoA file seemingly stopped right before entering Jabu Jabu. And I'm in the mood to get a brief dose of Zelda.😄 Any enemies inside shouldn't be a threat to me, since it's a Linked file and I have the Master Sword and the Red Ring from Oracle of Seasons. Together, they'll give me quintuple the power of the Wooden Sword alone.😝 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like at least that's what happened to the Neanderthals.
