Well, i say fallout but it's mainly just one guy making memes about how he chose the wrong ship. Also snafu is not a word, i refuse to believe it is unironically in the English dictionary. 1 hour ago, Shrimperor said: Erika HD Erika HD If Hajimare doesn't have her beat the shit out of Agate, it's a 0/10.

Interdimensional Observer Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 I continued to watch the one longplay of Baten Kaitos Origins I've slowly been working through. Then I saw someone again who reminded me of... current politics. Fails to pronounce certain words with a rough and limited lexicon in general, wants money and status above all else even if it comes from foreigners with ulterior motives, has little in the way of a real moral compass. On the happier side of things, I played some old Mario Party 8 while someone is visiting for the time. it's fun even when you lose, which because luck ends up freakishly happening. And we talked memories of Mario Party experiences from bygone eras, the horrors of Right Oar Left endure in our consciousnesses to this day. Like the best Scotch, the best experiences in games aren't necessarily those you have alone while sampling from the very finest, they can come from the cheaper stuff shared in good company. I watched a little of a Mario Party 1 LP afterwards, because the oldest one I've actually played is 3, and I was unsure of how the oldest MP have held up. A little surprisingly, the formula was just as solid in the very first game, it looks entirely playable to this day. Sure the graphics have aged like rotting fish, but the boards themselves from the 64 era have a certain charm from their 2D pre-rendered aesthetic: Spoiler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 8 hours ago, Armagon said: @Julian Teehee to go more in depth into Rune Factory (I simplified before because I was in a rush) but basically, in addition to the farm sim aspect of Harvest Moon/Story of Seasons, there's more fantasy elements such as dungeons and combat. There's a deep crafting system though it's not as deep as Atelier's crafting. Sounds interesting. So it's basically a mix of simulation like The Sims just taking place on a farm and a RPG? Weather outside scares me. A heavy storm approached past night and robbed my sleep. Really don't want to go out for work, but doing homeoffice with my lack on equipment is no solution either. Just have to hope no tree will hit me. A storm like this in summer is absolute unusual. Rather would expect to happen in winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Alright, played some more DQVI. Found the crownsmith, who was hanging above a deep chasm that shows... another world below. Hmm, like the Pit of Gaea of DQIII. Anyway, Rekk falls down after helping the man... though in this second world he somehow ends up like a ghost, unable to interact with people... though a dog seems to have sensed him, and the monsters attack him just fine. Heh, now I encounter the old blue slimes. So, after a quick trip to a well, it somehow makes Rekk be back to his world. Surely this won't be important either. Nope. So, picked up the crown back at Haggleton and returned to Weaver's Peak. And that's it for now. I guess I'll see that festival next time.

MisterIceTeaPeach Posted August 26, 2020 Author Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Mario Party 1 LP by the TheRunawayGuys was the first LP I have ever watched. Good old memories... Can't believe this project will become ten next year. They did a big push for co-op LPs on Youtube. Basn 'n Cash was probably the only game (probably in Mario Party history) the single player had a disadvantage. Technically the Bowser version was better because the lost coins didn't go to the opponents. Edited August 26, 2020 by Julian Teehee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armagon Posted August 26, 2020 Share Posted August 26, 2020 (edited) Next Trails (after Hajimare) might be an ARPG? Here It's unclear if it's part of the new arc or just a spin-off like Nayuta no Kiseki. If it's mainline, as long as the game is good, then I won't really have any issues. Though it would break the balance between Ys and Trails. 1 hour ago, Interdimensional Observer said: On the happier side of things, I played some old Mario Party 8 while someone is visiting for the time. it's fun even when you lose, which because luck ends up freakishly happening.

Wouldn't exactly say it's like The Sims. If I remember correctly, in The Sims, you're basically just God and you build your world. Rune Factory (and Story of Seasons) are more grounded. Think more along the lines of Animal Crossing except without being extremely reliant on irl time and you actually have goals instead of needing to come up with your own. FYI, don't play the new Harvest Moon games. The real Harvest Moon is now known as Story of Seasons, due to the devs losing the rights to the original localized name. Any current games that are called Harvest Moon are merely cheap knockoffs that bait unknowing fans into buying it.

Spoiler Can you picture this girl wielding an axe? XD In any case, I also went into the water ruins for a bit while exploring.

A quite hilarious notion, considering the success of Dragon Quest XI and especially Persona 5. It's like EA's "single player games are dead" verbal diarrhea.

Has been that way since CS1, following all the trends and modern tropes while discarding everything that made the games great game by game. I was putting all my hope into the next arc.... But seems it's finally time to let go. Although i've ckecked multipe sources over the net and it seems "action elements" instead of pure action is the more correct translation. Whatever that means. The battle system i loved so much though is gone. Even if Falcom completely ruined it's balance in the CS games, i always had a small hope in me they will attempt to balance it and make it better And not abandon it completely. Oh well, time to see how Haji is doing, last i saw it went into it's sooo bad it's good territory.
