Acacia Sgt Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) You know, I've been thinking. Fell Xenologues related, spoilery speculation? Spoiler As I said, we know from the datamine that we'll fight the DLC Emblems as they're synced to someone. By the last map, it will be against all seven of them at the same time. And we also know this is gonna be a Mirror World situation, with very likely to be Good!Hounds and Evil!Royals as that's what everything seems to be pointing out towards. Heck, we already saw who is almost definitely Fogado in the trailer, commanding Corrupted. Eight Royals, Seven Emblem Bracelets. Coincidence? Maybe, considering we're one Bracelet short. Still, I can only wonder... Edited March 20, 2023 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Engage being a good mod game, we could see custom scenarios. As in, recruitable Mitan complete with custom supports. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Currently trying to beat the hardest boss in Berwick Saga without all the tools that make it more manageable. Reese missed the final blow and he ran to heal. I hate him. 6 minutes ago, Armagon said: I had a thought. With Engage being a good mod game, we could see custom scenarios. As in, recruitable Mitan complete with custom supports. I mean, there's already a mod that makes all the bosses playable. Just, no personal skills or dialogue or anything, they're just there. Still, it took Fates years to get there. Engage has barely been out for a couple months. I expect it won't be that long till we see stuff like this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) Took me exactly 50 mins to get through the 8th OoA dungeon, though the time felt a bit better spent than the same amount in the 7th. I know writing of any kind isn't LoZ's strength, especially not this text-limited GBC. But, I do wish the final dungeon and its surrounding area were a bit less mysterious. Why does it exist? No answer is ever given. Mystery is a wine that pairs well with a plate of adventure, yet providing a few strands of information can make the mind run ever more wild than keeping things completely in the dark. 1 hour ago, Tanjiro said: So what are you guys up to? Just some scattered light gaming, a pinch of fanfict writing, perhaps a spot of intellectual reading. Not much rhyme or reason to it. I'm not in the mood to delve into anything too deep in the gaming world for the next few days. 49 minutes ago, Tanjiro said: Cool, that sounds fun. Are Castlevania games hard? It depends on which part of the franchise you're referring to.: "Classicvania" or "Retrovania" The games that came before Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. These are the early entries in the franchise, which genre-wise are linear action-platformers. With an old-timey arcadey feel to them. Castlevania III: Dracula's Curse, Super Castlevania IV, and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood are considered the greats of this era. "Metroidvania" The games starting with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. These, alongside the Metroid franchise, invented the "Metroidvania" genre. Metroidvanias can be defined as 2D/2.5D action games with a large world that the player explores. Technically, the games are often linear in progress, but the way one proceeds back-and-forth through the environment can hide linearity. Castlevania's version of this genre integrates light RPG elements, whereas Metroid's interpretation does not. Besides Symphony of the Night, the three GBA Castlevania games and the three DS ones are all Metroidvanias. The Lords of Shadow trilogy Set in a separate world, these games- Lords of Shadow, the Mirror of Fate, and Lords of Shadow II tell their own distinctive story. Gameplay retains some of the Metroidvania era's style, but adds a bit more platforming, puzzles, and plot. In terms of difficulty, the Classicvania era is probably the hardest. The Metroidvania games are usually easier and fine for casual gamers, although Order of Ecclesia can be challenging on its hard mode. 3 minutes ago, Tanjiro said: Is the collection on the switch? https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/castlevania-anniversary-collection-switch/ https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/castlevania-advance-collection-switch/ The Anniversary Collection gives you most of the Classicvania era (minus Rondo of Blood).

Saint Rubenio Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Chaos died and then the game proceeded to give me the most massive middle finger imaginable. I am still going to proceed because the alternative is to fight Chaos again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saint Rubenio Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 (edited) I've been saying this for the past two weeks, but tomorrow I definitely finish Minimum Ranks. Finally, I'll stop learning all the obscure, rare ways the game can fuck the player over. It will be a welcome change of pace to commit some war crimes with Daddy Benny afterwards. Everything I've had to suffer, every ounce of pain Berwick put me through, I shall take out on Frederica and her people.

Armagon Posted March 20, 2023 Share Posted March 20, 2023 Hey guys, you know what'd be an amazing invention? A camera that doesn't lose focus if you dare to zoom in even a little bit. Like i'm renting a lumix parasonic from uni for an assignment and part of that requires a zoom in shot. Well i'm zooming in but if i zoom in even a little bit, it looks like a 1989 Blackberry recording of a supposed UFO sighting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
