In order for me to say "I like this game", I have to at least enjoy it on some level. Maybe that's just me. Yeah, unless the gameplay's so bad it's good (like Sonic 06) I find it hard to be like "yeah I like the game even if the gameplay is dogshit". Having fun with the gameplay is like the number one requirement. "If the game isn't fun, why bother?" - Reggie Fils-Amie 3 minutes ago, Shrimperor said:  safe to watch? Yeah, I'd say so. It really is just an introduction to some of the areas in the game. It does mention a bit about the story but it's super vague, you won't know what it means unless you have the proper context. If you want to be absolutely safe though but still want to watch, watch until the 3:30 timestamp and then stop. 7 minutes ago, DragonFlames said: I wasn't impressed with the setup, tbh. I dunno. It just... wasn't my thing. Don't blame you tbh. It's very much a tell, not show kind of story. Which is a problem the series generally has.

Codename Shrimp Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 @Armagon The Music though. Pretty hype. So is the Trailer. Gives me a sense of adventure i have been carving lately. I am ready for a new adventure :3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"If the game isn't fun, why bother?" - Reggie Fils-Amie Exactly. Though it's easier for me to excuse issues I have with the gameplay when the rest (story, characters, world) of it is great. But that is also only when I enjoy the gameplay on at least some level. So if there's ever a game where I just can't enjoy any aspect of the gameplay, then I'm not going to bother with it beyond the point I make that realization, no matter how good everything else is. 5 minutes ago, Armagon said: Don't blame you tbh.

True. --- I think the next game I want to get is either the above-mentioned Blue Reflection or Cyberdimension Neptunia. Not sure yet, though.

BTW, I found a collection of all the XCX title screen panoramas -minus the two from the opening when Earth gets destroyed, but including Chapter 12's location at the end. Just one problem- the YouTuber changed the music. It's always MONOX that plays. So mute this vid and at the same time run a MONOX video on a loop/extended to fully replicate experience of sitting back and watching it all.

Yeah same. On the flip side, I can still enjoy a game even if it's story is not good provided the gameplay is enjoyable. "I liked this game because the gameplay is good even though the story sucks" is a lot more understandable to me. Heck, I do it myself.

This is nice. That reminds me though, now that I think about it, Xenoblade 2 is the only Xenoblade game that doesn't do the panoramas with the areas. But it's also the only Xenoblade game to change it's title screen depending on where you are in the story. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Heck, I do it myself. Fire Emblem Fates says hello. For me, it depends on whether or not I like the characters. If the story just happens to be mediocre or bad, I can still enjoy the game if the characters are likeable enough (CS3 is an example). When the characters aren't likeable to me, that's practically a death sentence. And that was exactly the case in Fates for me. I could excuse the absolute travesty that is the story, because I will say that the game is at least enjoyable to play (outside of lategame Conquest), but the atrocious characters, especially the ones that are the main focus of the game, just kill the entire thing for me. But even then, I have to say, if the story is too atrocious, then my tolerance reaches its limit there (hey CS2 and also CS3. Yes, my opinion on the latter game is a little schizophrenic).

TearRing is definitely a copypasta, but Berwick isn't; if you ever can emulate a ps2 game, I'd give Berwick a shot.

Not so sure, but 60% hits pretty consistently. But that is very much a valid reason; as I know very well, the RNG can absolutely annihlate you due to the capture system, though.

That is correct; there are ways to mitigate it, and it's not HORRENDOUS (because 60% is more like 90%), but getting 100% hit won't happen very often for the first while. I will say that the problem with Berwick isn't the hitrates but the cripple system, although that may be my massive amounts of RNG-screwage I underwent.

It's that I CAN'T, because my PC wasn't made for playing games on it. It struggles with a DS emulator, the PSP emulator just didn't work whatsoever, and thus I probably have a good reason to doubt a PS2 emulator would work on it. Not to mention that the actual PS2 we used to have (it belonged to my father, not me) broke a long, looooong time ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
