Puyo Puyo Tetris |OT| From Russia With Blob

No digital on the PS4 is so lame. This game is making me regret not keeping my Switch pre-order more than Zelda ever did.

I've loved puzzle games ever since Columns and Tetris way back and was really looking forward to this game.

You can't buy a game unless it is digital?

God I hate Amazon Logistics delivery service. I entered in delivery instructions with my order (including the gate code) and it came up as an "attempted delivery". They didn't even bother to call me. Such garbage. I wanted to play Puyo today!
 
If you have the Switch version make sure to turn on HD rumble. The rumble feedback every time I drop a tetris and clear out rows feels so good.

Okay so what's my best bet for the game (doesn't matter if digital or cartridge) if from EU? The NA eShop? Any way to get it cheaper? OP just says that EU prices are all over the place :)

lol HD rumble is disabled by default for a good reason! Couldn't even make it through one round after enabling. It's SO distracting. Leave that crap off is my suggestion.

This game is awesome!

Does it have the same problem some other Switch games have where the vibration intensity is maxed out? I think if it's a subtle vibration like haptic feedback on a phone then I bet that would add to the satisfaction of slamming down the pieces.
 
Just bought this digitally for Switch. Looking forward to having something to play with my girlfriend. Having it on the go will be nice also.

I'm still not actually sure how you overcome the Puyo matchup using Tetris.

Seems like you have to set up a really long combo in Tetris to get over someone's 3-4 Puyo Chain.

...

But I suspect Tetris is kinda busted at high level because garbage doesn't inherently mess with your setups, but how do I win for now :v

Also, is the score for T-spins better than a Tetris?

Yeah, T-spins are key to playing Tetris offensively.

It's only intense when you clear out the max rows in tetris or combos in puyo. When your dropping your pieces it's a subtle rumble.

T-spin doubles do equal damage to Tetrises, triples do more. Honestly, learning some t-spin set-ups and good openers will have even experienced puyo players struggling to keep up

Nope it's not like Snake Pass pre-patch. But it's still super distracting and - for lack of a better word - crap. I've yet to play a game with rumble actually benefitting the game.

I believe these values should be accurate for how much damage Tetris attacks do:

Code:
Attack / Tetris Trash
Single			0
Double			1
Triple			2
Tetris			4
B2B Tetris		5
T-Spin Mini Single	0
T-Spin Single		2
T-Spin Double		4
T-Spin Triple		6

Combo / Attack Bonus
0	0
1	1
2	1
3	1
4	2
5	2
6	3

Tetris Trash -> Puyo Trash
1	4
2	5
3	6
4	8
5	10
6	13
7	16
8	20
9	24

The story mode DELIVERS. It's so completely batshit crazy I can't even. It's amazing. My face the entire time is just, "Is this really happening?!"

I can't get home to play for a few hours. Does the bear still have a super deep voice and say "I love Tetris" in the English VA?

Played a couple of story mode missions, seems fun, then had a go on endurance mode. Don't know if i was playing on hard or something but i was getting my ass kicked in the first match. Cpu was outscoring me by like double.

Great presentation and love the designs.


I'm definitely not gonna dabble online as i know I'm not good enough. Will play multiplayer with my family though.
