Interdimensional Observer Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) Thoughts on the near-inevitability of decline of the established in gaming at some point (pessimistic stuff I know), makes me think I need to diversify my gaming profile somewhat. The thoughts have enough that I think I'll buy SteamWorld Dig 2 while it's on sale yet again for $7.99. I enjoyed the first, the sequel got critic reviews of 8-9, assuaging my boundless fears, which apply especially to Indies. Now if only Brigandine went on sale for once, I've never seen it discounted, still full retail price. I've a quarter of a mind to get it. 19 minutes ago, Armagon said: Archaic save-rooms is the thread that connects all of this. Money exists, although money farming is slow, because candles give MP-restoring mana roses when MP isn't full instead of cash. That has been an issue in almost every post-Symphony of the Night Castlevania. The Zangetsu and Bloodless alternate modes don't have potions, as is the usual for alternate modes in Castlevanias. This makes Bloodless more challenging, but Zangetsu is ez mode for most of a run with him because of how good he is, I don't think it gets difficult until the very end. I do think around the time of the desert caves, the game got significantly harder for me. The way the areas are designed at that point, so many narrow, tall tunnels, are more challenging to survive than earlier area layouts.

Shrimpica Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 (edited) I think the only time i really wanted more save rooms was at the very end. It's been a while tho since i played bloodstained Edited April 16, 2021 by Shrimperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay that'd be amazing. However, I am not about to waste my time on the likes of Armagon. He is so clearly beneath me, I mean, he refuses to see the greatness of Berwick Saga!

Acacia Sgt Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Getting close to the 1870's. I think at that point I can start doing stuff like colonial organizations. Not just Africa, but I've also expanded in Indochina. Beat the French to the punch there as well. I might also get a second treaty port. Probably Shanghai. The reunification wars there have been going on for quite a while. Poor Heavenly Kingdom turned into a paper tiger too fast. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(This is me thinking for a few minutes) Three rounds: TRS, NMotE and Fates multiplayer. Fates would be a time trial to seize, NMotE would be FoW with preferred squads and TRS would be the fun round working with that multiplayer file I remember having Julius. I must admit this does have the issue of if it can be done with Citra in particular as I doubt you have the same region 3DS and so couldn't do it on hardware. I think link cable options should be available for TRS, if it has to be done that way instead of sharing a session. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted April 16, 2021 Share Posted April 16, 2021 Also, man, after doing all the reforms I could on Education and Health, I started on Pensions and... pft, profits took a dive. I had to readjust taxes a little until money started pouring in again... from what POPs buy thanks to the money their families get from enacting Pensions. Economics!
