Heck, in Japan he's Eric Ricardo, but localization changed Ricardo to Lecarde because... bad translation or something. Like Castlevania 64 changing Belnades to Fernandez.

Yes! Looking on the bright side. I do like top hats... My bad for not including what game she's from but this is Dolce, from Rune Factory 4. I realize my explanation was rather short as well. Excellent personality and design. Top hat, pointy ears, trench coat, etc. 👌 Cold shoulder and sharp tongue with a heart of gold. Has a tragic backstory that makes me even more fond of her. Falls in line with my appreciation of characters who take their sweet time to open up instead of just expressing their thoughts openly and freely or falling into the protagonist's arms like nothing. The effort needed to help her open up makes the relationship between MC and her all the more rewarding.

Descriptions like this are what make me want to play the game that is being talked about, I love it. I don't know anything about this character yet can understand perfectly why she is liked. NOOOO I came up with the perfect joke reasoning after the fact. It’s okay, just share the joke submissions and my ego will go back up again. 50 minutes ago, GuardianSing said: Who is this person? I'm not very well versed in the Teehee lore so I frankly have no idea! Is it @Julizan? @Shrimpolaris? I have no idea! But anyhow, they gave the incredibly specific answer of. White hair + red eyes = Shrimpy’s preference. Now that I’m playing the game again, Shrimpy, the best character in 13 Sentinels is girl with white hair and red eyes. So yeah, play it. 50 minutes ago, GuardianSing said: @Lightchao42 Is next and I'm just going to post the whole thing because this made me laugh. A bit of rivalry even in the quizzes. Jesus, that's a sword and a half. I did acknowledge Rixia’s greatness though! I’m pretty sure I called her best or second best Crossbell character when I finished Azure. She’s just… not a Sky character, and we all know Sky characters best. 50 minutes ago, GuardianSing said: We're nearly done here and @Benice is the final! With a character named Josette. Hopefully that rhymed in your head. What's not to love in a girl? I have no idea who she is but she sounds grand. ...Wait, how do you have short hair and long hair? He’s talking about Josette from Trails. She has short hair in the first three games and comes back like five games later, now with her hair grown out. 46 minutes ago, Armagon said: I think it really is worth it to, after you're done (not immediately tho), go through the whole thing chronologically i haven't actually done this because i never got around to it. I thought about that, but the whole thing is just too long to do that. Maybe if I’m really really bored one day. 46 minutes ago, Armagon said: Let me guess, framerate dips? Insanely difficult, actually. I had to pull a blitzkrieg strategy off the internet. No, frame rate dips can happen every battle, just use this little thing called missile rain.

You should play Omori if you’re okay with having your heart ripped out of your body and shoved back in in a bunch of tiny pieces (and are okay with everything in the content warning at the beginning), otherwise… okay 13 Sentinels works.

Armagon Posted April 15, 2022 Share Posted April 15, 2022 Kirby and the Forgotten Land is so good (review) The Switch has been a console where long-running Nintendo franchises have found ways to reinvent themselves. You have Breath of the Wild, you have Mario Odyssey and now we have Kirby and the Forgotten Land. I'm just going to come out and say it: this game is one of the best games released in recent years. This is so much charm and fun in this game and if you find yourself unable to enjoy that, then i'm going to assume your soul is made of stone. While it's not Kirby's first time going into the third dimension, it is his first proper adventure to do so and i'm glad the devs got it so right. I was worried that Kirby's infinite floating ability would trivialize the game, but thankfully, that is not the case, as you can only stay in the air for so long and you can't gain altitude without the ground level going up in the first place. This change to one of Kirby's signature powers makes me appreciate the level design way more, whereas in past Kirby games, the level design was simply a means to an end. And by appreciating the level design, it allows for new creative ideas to be put in place. Stuff like the Ultra Abilities and Robobot were cool but they're limited to the limits of two dimensions. In a three dimensional space, the Mouthful Mode abilities are able to shine to their brightest extent and i love that there's not a single one where it's just a one-off thing. Speaking of abilities, there's only 12 Copy Abilities in this game, which seems low compared to other games until you find out that these abilities can be upgraded, with each tier of upgrades being better than the last. The upgraded Copy Abilities had me using more abilities than i actually would've have in prior Kirby. Fire Kirby, for example, is not an ability i particularly cared for in past games but upgrading that to Volcano Fire Kirby and then later Dragon Fire Kirby had me regularly swallowing fire enemies and taking their power for myself. I will say tho, i do wish the upgraded tiers had other uses besides just being better. There is like one instance where i actually needed an upgraded ability to unlock something within a level but other than that, the levels don't have any specific instances where you'd need to upgrade an ability. This aspect of the game is mitigated by the Treasure Roads, special challenges where you're forced to use an ability (Mouthful or Copy) for the duration of that challenge. These were fun to do and i'm glad that even if there's an ability i didn't like using that much (hello bombs), the game had courses specifically designed for them. On the subject of levels, while the game is easy because Kirby, the meat of the challenge comes from getting all the Waddle Dees. These still aren't difficult mind you, but definitely made the levels more fun to play through. If there's really only one aspect where level design falls short, it's the boss arenas. The bosses themselves are good and each one has a no damage challenge for all the gamers out there but the arenas themselves are kinda....too big, which is especially an issue when you consider that Tier 3 (and the exclusive Tier 4 for two specific abilities) abilities really break the game's difficulty, what little there was of it. If the bosses did more to influence the arena they were in, i think things would be a little bit better but there's only like three that do so. Also, if you want to see everything, you have to go through hard mode remixes of all the levels, which, it's Kirby so it's not that hard in the long run (especially with how busted abilities can become) but......if i had a nickel for every 2022 game i've played where i have to go through a harder version of the game to see everything, i'd have three nickels. Which isn't a lot, it's just weird that it's happened thrice in one year. But at least this time, those hard mode remixes are more of a "greatest hits" from each world and not the whole thing. The game is also oddly missing some QoL. There's no "retry from checkpoint" option, forcing you to redo an entire level if you want to complete one of the challenges in a level that can only be done once per run of that level. Buying stock items to use later is neat but you can only buy one at a time so if you ever wanted to stock up on stat boosts, you have to buy all that individually. Even stuff like the Present Codes for goodies, you have get each one individually, as opposed to giving several codes and getting all that at once. The music in this game is very good, as expected from a Kirby game. Lots of pleasant tunes and good boss themes. There's an anime OP song at the start, which caught me off guard because i wasn't expecting it but it's a bop. Roar of Dedede is definitely the hardest King Dedede's theme has ever gone but i think the one that truly steals the show is at the end. The final boss theme of this game surpasses C-R-O-W-N-E-D from Return to Dream Land. Two Planets Approach the Roche Limit is one of the hardest names for a song and it's a Kirby song of all things. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is a very good game, definitely one of the best to be released in recent years and i can't wait to see where the series goes from here. The only thing i ask is that Waddle Dees be completely removed from Kirby's rogue gallery from now on, because after running around Waddle Dee town for hours, i can't go back to hitting these little guys. 9/10 __________________ Ahh, it feels good to beat a good game after playing Persona 5. 55 minutes ago, Punished Dayni said: (I thought you'd say something about my thoughts on the Raimi films or finally beating Dread) What were you're actual thoughts on Dread besides dying a lot? 48 minutes ago, Saint Rubenio said: I cannot have anime in my Castlevania Too bad. 20 minutes ago, Sooks said: I thought about that, but the whole thing is just too long to do that.

Two meaty healers also spawn pretty far from the boss and keep healing it. Basically the only way to get S-rank is to blitzkrieg up to the boss with two demolisher blade users (one of whom is Ogata) with limit break while throwing guardians around them and praying.
