Which part, the level curve or the damn water? That single handedly crushes R/S/E for me. I hope you like water pokemon! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you overcompensating for something Dayni if you need something that long to bonk? On the one hand, the spear comment is understandable, I wanted to just make the idea about the stick being very long. As for overcompensating, no, not really. And I would respond further if I felt it worthwhile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Ah, I remember getting lost in the water portion of Hoenn. No matter looking up the Pokénav's Map, I still spend time lost trying to reach Mossdeep, Sootopolis, Siempre Large, the Seafloor Cavern... good times.

Not to mention its not worth a good amount of EXP to boot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good. ...Pffft okay no, Pokemon games are probably fine, but in all seriousness, it's the same problem as Trails. I really don't enjoy conventional RPGs, and while it does have the whole "gotta catch 'em all" mechanic, Pokemon is otherwise very by-the-numbers. Soooo yeah. I'd get bored before long. In fact, I have gotten bored before long. I tried replaying Emerald once, it didn't last. My friends also tried to get me to play Leaf Green. I only made it to Giovanni before I couldn't stand it anymore. 46 minutes ago, DodgeDusk said: And finish the either Red or Blue Rescue Team, and one of Explorers of Time/Space/Sky games. Genuinely touching games. I'm told Conquest is pretty good. 40 minutes ago, Ghost_06_ said: Ruby, Sapphire or Emerald? Emerald. I played the entire game with my starter Gecko until I got to the league, which was impossible. So I took a detour, captured Rayquaza (pretty sure I butchered that name) and beat the league with it. I also remember really really wanting the version exclusive mons, since I thought they looked pretty when other trainers used them. After a nasty incident with cheats that led to a bad egg and a bit of fright, I found some ROM editor online so I could hack the version exclusive mons into the wilderness. I was like 8, I didn't even know English at the time, I have no idea how I pulled that off. Then I proceeded to never use them and stick with my Gecko forever. Fun times.

Acacia Sgt Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 (edited) I still remember the first time I played Sapphire. Looking at Grovyle I thought the evolution line would somehow learn Fly naturally. Also I never made it past Mauwille since I didn't found the Rock Smash HM. It was back when I didn't had the habit of talking to every NPC in video games. I ended up buying the Prima Strategy Guide too at some point, haha. - Looking over videos of people beating AE bosses makes me realize I really neglected focusing on leveling up the characters used in those videos, despite how easy it should've been to do it. Ah well. Edited August 30, 2021 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 I said otherwise earlier but imma stick with 13 Sentinels' English VA. But whoever wrote the localized script is definitely a weeb since they still use the Japanese honorifics in English. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acacia Sgt Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 Okay, I've decided. I'll go through Arlington first. Going around only really has the Red Racer Factory, now that I am done with (almost all) of the Grayditch stuff, so Operation Anchorage will fill like a nice balance winded down "minor" thing to do on the way back to Megaton.

Sooks Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 It never gets hold that Fates has cavaliers, paladins and dark knights lose their armor and their horse loses their armor when the unit gets to low HP. It looks so funny, why did they think that was at all necessary or a good idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted August 30, 2021 Share Posted August 30, 2021 August was a good month. It's by far the month with the most games i've logged this year.

Makes the combat feel more authentic than in like, the GBA days when everyone just stoos upright while getting skewered. It's just Fates went a bit too over the top with it in a few places. Knights fucking explode when they're hit critically lol. Edited August 30, 2021 by Saint Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And this is the first time (I can remember, anyway,) that I’ve seen Xander with his armor off, and he looks hilarious too. They should have put a slight bit of effort into making sure characters/horses look okay when their armor is gone, because it has the opposite effect and completely breaks immersion.

The same old thoughts that haunt me from time to time. 3 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: Knights fucking explode when they're hit critically lol. "Reactive Armor" is a thing.: "As weapons improved, an "arms race" evolved between armor and armor-piercing technologies, one as old as war itself. In the late Middle Ages, inventors tried using padding on the inside and outside of the plate armor in hopes of ameliorating the effects of crossbow bolts and pikes (nothing worked very well). In the World wars, the answer was simply to add more layers of armor; again, it didn't work very well. After World War II, various types of "reactive armor" were invented. The concept of explosive reactive armor was first proposed by the Russian Bogdan Voitsekhovsky in 1949, with the first production models appearing in the 1960s. Most main battle tanks now carry some form of reactive armor." 6 minutes ago, Sooks said: They should have put a slight bit of effort into making sure characters/horses look okay when their armor is gone, because it has the opposite effect and completely breaks immersion.
