Serenes Forest's Teehee Thread

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

I'm not gonna lie, all these endgame chapters aside of final boss are as bland as all ones in part 4.

The second map can be done in one turn, but I won't tell how to do it.

At least the third map features the strongest boss (attack) in the game who also has a phenomenal battle theme.

[Shrimpica]

The endgame maps were more rpg like than srpg like, but i honestly enjoyed them. Rd's final map is still my fav. Final map in the series

[MisterIceTeaPeach]

The good thing about FE10's endgame chapters was that they were so short. so perfect for me to learn LTCing. Aside of the first one I am able to oneturn all endgame maps. However for the final boss it's hard to get capped stats in hard mode due to low bonus experience. It took me more than 150 attempts to do it. Since I play on the console, I can't savestate easily to manipulate the RNG.

Right, i remember you saying that before.

And that's why demos need to be a thing, so one can see if they like a game or not!

Agreed 100%.

Thanks. I kind of find myself liking the rout maps more and more. Maybe I'm just weird.

Then I'm weird too, because I enjoy them as well. XD

I hope with Jill's introduction in gachaland today more fanart of her will be released. It's lacking on good fanart of her tbh.

Yep!
This is why the Cantors of Echoes never bothered me (except for that one dude that summons Necrodragons, of all things). It's free EXP, so I'm not complaining! XD

Already played the VC4 demo, and discovered that it has third-person shooter-esque gameplay, which I'm not a fan of (but I liked pretty much everything else about it).
And Odin Sphere has no demos at all, which is a shame.

This is the one advantage these gacha games have.

Beaten first Bowser in Super Mario 64.

Was not as terrifying as the Koopa race-

Could beat it in my first try (as anticipated) unless the Koopa race I needed ten tries for thanks to stupid camera changes.

This game is better to be played on a N64.

And Odin Sphere, sadly, does not have any demos at all.

Sorry, I thought there was one, I read some people had played one.

For some basic gameplay footage in place of that.:

All battle areas (barring the occasional enemy in non-battle areas) are circular, you can run in one direction and end up where you started a few seconds later. Hence the name "Odin Sphere", the Odin half is there mostly to emphasize the Norse aspect to some of the story, though Odin himself is an important character. 

Besides Gwendolyn seen in the first half of this video and Oswald as shown in the second half, there are three other playable characters, Cornelius, Mercedes, and Velvet, each with their own separate story. Progression in this game goes Chapter Intro-Location filled with battles and rest areas between them-Boss Plot-Boss Battle-Chapter Conclusion.

I'm really liking the aesthetics of this. Looks great!
And from what I see and from what you describe, it does look like something that might interest me. I've never played a game like this.
I'll look out for it when it goes on sale next time!

I think the issues with Super Mario 64 are caused by my defective left joycon.

Checked out the price: new joycons (both sides) by Nintendo cost about 70 €, that's insane!

A third party one still costs the half which I still consider as really expensive.

...I don't know how good third party hardware is.

The only third party hardware I have, is a Gamecube controller by GameStop which is poorly made, but was still good to make FE9 playable.

Might not be you, they could have translated the controls poorly as well, wouldnt surprise me one bit if they did.

That game runs smooth on N64, so its not the game, for sure.

I was talking about the digital Switch port which was released today.

There Mario makes some little steps on his own, even if he's not controlled, so it has to be something wrong on my joycon (left one).

I can't remember having any control issues with the N64 version either.

You have the joycon drift problem?

Idk if it's a drift problem.

The left one stops to act and starts to disconnect after some time automatically.

Well, the left one does seem to have been error prone.

[Acacia Sgt]

Hmm, that thread about making an Awakening novelization sounds like a fun project. Reminds me of similar ideas I once had.

Could be the case possibly.

Will contact Nintendo to report my issue.

If it really should be the "joycon drift" issue, Nintendo should replace them for free.

 

Anyways thanks for the hint!

I played a bit Super Mario 64 for Switch. The controls are so bad, that's not even fun anymore. I can't do the long jumps properly and the camera angle is changing for some reason ingame without pressing any buttons. I could not even do the first Koopa race due to that.

I have no idea how this is possible when i played up to the first Bowser level in Mario 64 with no issues except for maybe camera but Mario 64's camera has always been kinda stinky.

But after reading your other posts, it does seem like it's Joy-Con drift.

The PS4 version is also 10€ cheaper for some reason.

Yeah, this happens sometimes. Doom 2016 is like $20 on every platform except Switch, where it's still $60.

The controls are fine. I'm most surprised with Galaxy, where playing with the Pro Controller is very smooth and using it to aim the pointer isn't awkward at all.

That's good to hear. I was interested to see how well Galaxy specifically would translate to the Pro controller.
