Sooks Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 I’ll say, I haven’t really seen any systems that try to do anything like supports (other than just, y’know, the story). That would lead to supports being more loved, with nothing really doing it better. But I haven’t played many RPG type games, so are they common?

But the reviewer also makes it clear that it shouldn't force the player to just roll with it either. That does make the game sound interesting alright. I might just need to sleep and got it wrong though. yeah i heard about how people aren't really satisfied with the ending Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FE's support system is certainly unique because it allows all characters to interact with each other depending on player choice. Most other RPGs with similiar system end up with only the MC having the options to interact with others, and not the cast with each other, which makes everything MC dependant and basically an overglorified dating sim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Finished SteamWorld Dig 2. I managed to find all 42 Artifacts, but missed on a Jackhammer blueprint and 10% completion in Archaea and 3% in two other areas. I think I'll use a guide to find that missing blueprint, and attempt this set of challenge trials that were unlocked for having obtained all the Artifacts, but I probably won't bother pulling my hair out over the missing 3%s. The game felt like it was missing something, it ended with some abruptness. One dedicated finale area that drives things home would've been good. And maybe some more boss fights, although fighting is a weak aspect of this game, the tiny number of bosses it already has are all mediocre. Also, I don't get what the point of the small horror segment was, when the trip there has no relevance at all to what comes later. The above said, the game was fun. It didn't overstay its welcome, it cut itself short just before that feeling could set in. The Zelda-esque combination of mild puzzles and platforming worked well, with a few of the caves calling for moderate tight platforming talent. As with Link and also Samus -more Samus than Link actually- by the time you get to the game's end, if you've been collecting just about everything, you're almost invincible and platforming ceases to be difficult -provided you don't handicap yourself for more of a challenge. The game's routine of jumping into the mines to dig for minerals and jewels, to be sold when you resurface due to full inventory or the lantern or health are running low, was boring and addictive. The game looks good and the writing, though not the story itself, is charming, the item descriptions are filled with wonderful levity. I'd give it an 8/10. I have an inkling to give it a 9, but that would've required a longer stronger endgame. I got the game on sale, and I'd suggest waiting for that if one wanted the game; the normal price is $20 USD. I'd also start with the first SteamWorld Dig, which can go on sale as well, but is normally $10 USD. The first Dig is rougher, and shorter, you could finish it in one sitting if you buried yourself inside all day and dug deep into the game. SWD2 is an objective improvement on the first, I hope they could make lightning strike again. Now where is SteamWorld Heist 2? And will Fen be playable again? 7 hours ago, Dayni said: It's not like these other people don't exist, but TeeHee doesn't seem like the place to find them. I'm not really looking for someone here, or anywhere. It's my fault for not keeping a sample paragraph or three of my extended opinion and whatnot, so I could do a low-effort copypaste with tweaks of it whenever I see the need to deploy it. 2 hours ago, Armagon said: It's a cold day in hell when i'm dropping a Monolith Soft game but here we are. To be fair, there are good things about the game. The spritework is pretty nice andi liked seeing the characters interact, even if i only knew like half of them because the other half, specifically half of the Namco characters here, are from dead or literally who franchises even for the time and at the end of the day, this is a crossover game. It's not meant to be taken seriously. I also have to mention that i do like the OC protags in this game. Reiji and Xiaomu do make for a pretty likable duo. However, the game has one problem and it's the gameplay. The gameplay on paper isn't bad but the more i played, the more i could see where it was going and it was definitely heading down the path of absolute tedium. This is a game where the playable roster keeps getting bigger and bigger and while there are times where the characters would split up, the tedium started to become apparent after 13 chapters (5 prologue chapters and eight main chapters is as far as i played). I really do think this game would be a lot smoother to play if they got rid of like half the cast and got rid of the grid because as it stands, it's just tedium. Better to stop things here than keep playing and wait for the tedium really kicks into unforgivable territory because the main story is 50 chapters long and i don't know how it justifies that. Sorry it came to that. I'll see if I can stick through to the end, when the time comes. How this foreshadows your playing of the later games in the same mold... well nothing is certain. I shall say there might be a few too many boss battles in the EF games, and whether or not that wears you down with te deum is something I'm postulating about. Although cheats exist if you wanted to stick around to the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

null Posted May 9, 2021 Share Posted May 9, 2021 Random post to tell you to play Touhou Luna Nights. If you don't, I'll...I'll...just post music. 🙃 Seriously though, it's a great game. Very fun little Metroidvania. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not stinginess, it's perfectly normal to do in this era where games usually do go on sale at some point. Only the eager, the foolish, and the 1st-party Nintendo fans buy games at full price nowadays. I'm no different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also me: 3H special edition half price? Sure, why not?
