Armagon Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 6 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: One thing i have to say i like about this game is the complete removal of RNG bullshit. Instead evasion, crits, etc. are done by conditions. For example some units get evasion by attacking and not killing, others by having 4 more luck than oppossing unit's skill, crits by attacking in a certain way (although i didn't figure out the conditions for that completely yet, the battle forecast does tell you if you fullfil crit condition or not), etc. SRW moment. I think, @Acacia Sgt does SRW do something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename Shrimp Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 SRW has Spirits to give you certain boosts/effects (for example 200% Hit for 15 SP), but normally battles have normal rng. Atleast my experience with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Yeah, SRW also employs RNG, but Seishin/Spirits allowing for some modifications to the values. That said, some games do employ special mechanics. Like in SRW AP, where unit evasion gets halved for every successful dodge. It resets every turn.

Acacia Sgt Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) The funny thing is, it's conditioned on a loop until it gets sold. I think. Even if you accept to buy, Russia can still refuse in the end. But then, you can get the offer again. In any case... In this timeline, it would likely be known as "Max's Folly/Icebox". At least until its riches get discovered, like in OTL. Edited April 19, 2021 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe... if I felt like I could take on the British. Who are currently allied with Germany. I'd rather not for now. Besides, even if I were to take on war against Britain, taking their North American Pacific coastline wouldn't be my first priority. It'd be, I don't know... give Venezuela de Esequibo, give Argentina the Malvinas, something like that...

Acacia Sgt Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 Also, I still need to get the Miskito coast, and I'd rather get it from the in-game decision than through war as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted April 19, 2021 Share Posted April 19, 2021 (edited) I've been scheduled for my first dose of vaccine later this week. Registration for all opened early this morning and everything close was booked, so it'll be an hour's drive away. But, the shot is worth the time and mileage. 14 minutes ago, Armagon said: If you didn't hear, they took down the demo everywhere. Which is like throwing away a barrel of gasoline after the forest has been reduced to ashes. If it weren't for the demo, the game would still have gotten terrible reviews in all likelihood, but some people would've been deceived into buying the game and only afterwards regretting it. As is, for the week the game released, it failed to reach the top 30 in (physical) sales, meaning less than 2100 copies. It also failed to reach the top 30 in the Japanese and North American Switch eShops. And, it failed to reach the top 40 in the United Kingdom, losing to games that have been out for over 100 weeks. This game was multiplatform, but it's obvious that it flopped hard. There are a few genuine human fans of the game that think it is unfairly hated. But you also have Metacritic, where bots made weirdly-worded 10/10 reviews for the game- "glitterbombing" might be the term for this.

I know Avengers PS4 was financially not good for Square Enix but man, that game is a platinum seller in comparison to Balan Wonderworld's sales.

Not quite on the first one, as the realm where time passes far slower that shows up in the Leinster cycle's Tír na nÓg (which has its ties to death and the afterlife), the second has a fair bit more overlap but it's not like it's unique to the NEAtlantic Isles and the idea of these being spun from older common stories would be unsurprising.

Honestly surprised they did. I definitely think legacy things (such as maintaining updates) should be kept up longer, but I can live with the end of a storefront, much as continuity with them should be required and an ability to bring forward owned titles more than a polite suggestion. Course, I'm not mad here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
