Then the module co-ordinator did a tutorial with us near the end of the year and caused a minor scandal when he flipped at us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Copen is essentially a racist in the main timeline Mega Man-like fighter who copies the abilities of defeated fighters. His method of tagging enemies involves dashing into them, upon which his shots will lock-on. As a result, he schmoves. Right.

Copen is essentially a racist in the main timeline Mega Man-like fighter who copies the abilities of defeated fighters. His method of tagging enemies involves dashing into them, upon which his shots will lock-on. Which sounds like a blend of MMX's simple, but surprisingly meaningful addition of a dash move (no damage) to the repertoire of basic techniques. And, also Mighty Number 9's dash mechanic. Although I'm not sure I'd get full enjoyment from the Gunvolt series, the dash technique does sound like a good way to weave a close-range aspect into a character focused on shooting things. Now where is the close-range specialist? 25 minutes ago, Armagon said: Anyways my Switch has always been like, a JRPG machine but it's an Atelier machine in particular *Realizes this is alphabetically sorted.* That coincidentally make it look naturally impressive in a certain way. Behold the grandeur of yearly releases? How much room do you even have left in your system? 25 minutes ago, Armagon said: Despite the overall linearity, the way it treats progression is much more closer to Metroid, which is very refreshing given the genre is dominated by the Castlevania-leaning Metroidvanias. Honestly I don't play enough Metroidvanias to identify how the genre leans, all I know is that nowadays is that genre is not lacking for good to substandard titles. Though I do think they're better off, like Metroid, without the RPG aspects, Metroidvanias are ideally too short to need them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least in my college, i find it incredibly wild how math is held to a higher standard than everything else. In other subjects, pretty much every test was open book/notes but when it comes to math? Nope, no resources allowed. Math is also the only subject that requires you to get a C or higher whereas any other subject will let you get away with a D (barring like, honor classes and shit). 7 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: What have I said about trash talking Thracia? That i should be doing it, always. 2 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: Now where is the close-range specialist? Kirin in Gunvolt 3. She wields a sword though she does have a long-range option with her talismans (which is how she tags). Though with the game still a ways off, we haven't seen the full range of her capabilities. Copen's also getting a new melee option in iX 2. 5 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: How much room do you even have left in your system? 5.1 GB on the main system, 145 on the SD card.

That is my humble opinion. Agree to disagree then. I had my fair share of fun in works that start slowly, like in RPG games that only get fun when you experiment with builds, practically at the end of the game. This can also be applied to movies, series, anime, etc. Mentioning Jojo again: part 7 is widely considered the best, it's in my top 3 best written manga ever, and the plot only gets going on by chapter 30, almost 1/3 in (the manga has 95 chapters). Some works need time, slowly letting the roots firm, creating a strong base. I just believe that this quest for instant gratification is one of the problems of today's society. It pisses me off that people give up on something so easy. Imagine thinking something is bad after having only seen 1% of what the work offers. 1 hour ago, Acacia Sgt said: 200 years straight since the end of independence... despite the state of shambles something great could've grown out of it...

Some works need time, slowly letting the roots firm, creating a strong base. Well, I would argue the "strong base" point is rendered moot if said "strong base" is so feeble that it fails to hold my interest whatsoever. Contradictory as it may seem, I do think it's okay for a game to be slow (Omori is slow, Great Ace Attorney is super fucking slow, Berwick Saga takes a while to really get going too, I mean Christ one of my favorite games ever is frigging Papers Please where you just spent the entire playtime doing paperwork), but it needs to be a good sort of slow. A slow that is appropriate, or that builds up interest for what is to come, that sets future events up, that hints at excitement to be had. It can't just be insufferably boring for 30 hours and then excuse itself by saying "no no I was almost getting ready to become good, give me another 10 hours and then I swear it's gonna be worth it." Also, what's the guarantee that the thing is ever going to get good? Yes, I'll give you that it's possible to miss out on some gems due to a poor first impression. It's not foolproof. But at the same time, I'll also miss out on other gems if I waste 30-40 hours of my life on something that's no good at all instead of moving on to other things that might actually be worth the time and attention after the first game has proven time and time again that it's not my cup of tea. I'm not saying I give each game exactly five minutes to prove itself, but there comes a point where I just can't help but lose interest for one reason or another, maybe some other game will grab my interest, and I'll just not have the motivation to keep going. As an example, I dropped Path of Radiance in chapter 21. That's well over half the game. What, should I have forced myself to waste more hours away in boredom, pushing through to the finale because "maybe it gets good in the final two hours"? Yeah, agree to disagree it is. Again, your point is very valid and should be taken into consideration... in matters more important than how one spends one's idle hours. Quote I just believe that this quest for instant gratification is one of the problems of today's society. It pisses me off that people give up on something so easy. Imagine thinking something is bad after having only seen 1% of what the work offers. That's a bit extreme, considering the topic we're discussing. It's not like I'm giving up on finding the cure for cancer. Time's a limited resource. Free time, more so. At some point I have to cut my losses. It's not like I give up on every single game I play, either. Heck, quite the opposite, I'd say I give up on way less games than I see through to the end. Partly because I only start games that truly pique my interest, I don't just grab them at random from the pile and see what happens. For the most part. ...Whew. That got long. So yeah, tl;dr: As you said, agree to disagree. 28 minutes ago, Sooks said: She did not deserve such a great theme. But I'm glad she got it, at least.

Shrimpica Posted September 27, 2021 Share Posted September 27, 2021 (edited) One of my fav. staves in the game tbh allows you to switch places with any ally unit. Something i have wanted to see in FE for a long time now. Sure i only used it one time so far, but the one time i used it it saved my ass Staff variety in this game is A+ tho Edited September 27, 2021 by Shrimperor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
