Saint Rubenio Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Actually, on the topic of Wonder, I'm thinking. I still have those trading funds on Cex leftover from when I sold Three Houses, bought Dread and then sold that back to them again alongside Splatnection Error 2. If I wait a bit, the next time I swing by the city I could possibly use them to nab Wonder for free. And finally use the funds for something. Might be the strat. I'm not in too much of a hurry to play it. It looks pretty fun, but it also looks entirely devoid of difficulty and I'm not sure if that's what I want right at the moment.

Saint Rubenio Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Oh I can trade Mario Maker 2 in for like, 25 bucks, provided it doesn't plummet over much by the time I get around to doing this. With the 20 bucks I have left over, I can definitely nab Wonder when the time comes. Yep, that's definitely the strat, I'd say. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only Luigi U actually used it for something, everywhere else it was just a remnant of a time long past Yeah but like they had to be designed in a way that Little Timmy could still beat it under that long-ass time-limit. So they couldn't really make it too elaborate. No time-limit means Little Timmy won't lose cause he was backtracking trying to find the Wonder Seed. 1 hour ago, Saint Rubenio said: You don't wanna be the guy that gave a role to the rapist murderer.

Now that you've put it like that, yeah, that's likely the reason the time limit was excised. It doesn't really make sense as a simple attempt at "modernizing", because again, lives are still here and they're just as pointless as they've been for decades. 1 minute ago, Armagon said: Mario has never been that difficult outside of a few select levels.

Lost Levels aside it wasn't ever like, insanely difficult, but it definitely used to be a tad more challenging. Luigi U once again being the exception there.

No ground pounds, no wall jumps, getting hit always reverted you to Small Mario. Of course the post game worlds were usually the hardest part. That's been a staple in most Mario games so Wonder probably has it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lightchao42 Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 (edited) It turns out that sticking three mine carts together with only one fan is a questionable idea. I had to jump off and climb the rest of the way. On 10/19/2023 at 6:49 PM, Saint Rubenio said: Talk about Factory Worker Garon. I was very surprised when the mysterious masked protagonist turned out to be Factory Worker Garon all along. Then he said "Gahaha!", stole Rean and Lloyd's girlfriends, and went on to solo the final boss.

I'm sure you'll finish Ryza 3 before the next Atelier game releases... probably. On 10/19/2023 at 10:27 PM, Lightcosmo said: Curious as to which characters you used most! I try to make use of everyone (which isn't too hard, since characters gain a level or two after basically every battle in the postgame) but I found myself using Spoiler Vita more than I expected going in. Roselia gets an honorary mention, because she was the first gold sealing stone character I got and I like characters with high ATS. 8 hours ago, Newtype06 said: This setup works really well even without upgraded quartz and equipment I think Laura has one of the lowest ATS among my characters at the moment, so it might take some work. As an aside, I generally have everyone keep their default Master Quartz; I made an exception for Aegis and Infinity, since Noel starts with the former and using a ranged attacker as a tank didn't make much sense. 1 hour ago, Saint Rubenio said: It doesn't really make sense as a simple attempt at "modernizing", because again, lives are still here and they're just as pointless as they've been for decades. I like the way Doom Eternal used extra lives, since they revive you immediately rather than sending you back to a checkpoint. I'm not sure how Mario would handle the same thing, and they'd probably be less common in that case.

Wonder does this weird thing where purple coins are awesome, you gather them to buy stuff at a shop, they have a purpose and shit... but then regular coins are the same old "I collect this for the dopamine rush" deal because they, and lives, are as pointless as ever. It's like they fixed it but then kept the old thing alongside the fix. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Codename Shrimp Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Mario was never really difficult outside post-game.

Interdimensional Observer Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 Merry Magoland turns out to be just a mode for the bunch of minigames they brought back. With collectible decorative masks you can then wear in the maingame too. Maybe it'd be called being greedy, but a just a few more minigames wouldn't have hurt. And then for today I moved on.: The Interdimensional Traveler isn't bad. Magolor was playable in Star Allies, though I skipped that so using him is new to me. His projectile-oriented skillset is good enough. I was going to try completing this entire mode in one sitting, it's fairly short (and a bunch of the bosses are just 3.0s of old bosses that had already been 2.0'd via Ex forms). Although the new aesthetics are nice enough and the stages are expectably easy as Kirby is. I found this enjoyable. However, the final boss... Spoiler Nothing out of the norm here, a typical Kirby final foe. ...ended up roasting me on the couple tries I attempted. Thankfully... ...there's a light RPG element to this mode. Grinding some more Magic Orbs to max Health should make the final boss doable, it shouldn't take too long either. I like how Magolor's descriptions are cute, yet worrisome in how he seems to enjoy pure destruction.😄 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interdimensional Observer Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Against my inclinations, I can't stay up too late. I have the ballet tomorrow. I should be excited for it, and I will enjoy it. But... my excessive homebody habits, and the fact I'm still not entirely devoid of 🙁 means I'm not actually at all eager. Idiot. --- Playing Return to Dream Land Deluxe somehow reminded me of my holistic love for Revenge of Meta Knight.😆 -And Kirby as a whole of course.
