Some things doesn't make sense in Skyrim, why when I go to disarm a trap it's the same minigame as to pick locks. Other thing that I find strange is in Oblivion you had separate slots for the chest and the legs armor, why the armor already cover both?

Finished Ys Oath in Felghana.

Pretty good game overall. Clocked about 12 hrs and it really went by quickly. I don't know if i can get behind this battle system, though. Perhaps it was because i played the PSP version but the game begin so action oriented yet locked at 30 fps kinda bugged me, especially when you're fighting bosses that are throwing a ton of shit at you and reaction time is crucial. I just ended up ninja dogging half of the boss fights because either the pattern wasn't immediately obvious, the pattern became obvious but i was terrible at executing my counterattacks against it, or i didn't feel like spending 15-20 minutes overcoming the boss in a legit way.

At least the dungeons weren't as terrible as they were in Ys II. They get more intense and intricate as you proceed through the game, yes, but i never felt that i would need to seek out an FAQ to get through one, a major improvement over the devious final fucking dungeon in Ys II.

Playing Oath took me back to playing a PSX RPG, with its 2d character sprites on 3d backgrounds it reminds me visually of Xenogears and Wild Arms 2. Still, going back and having read that the original Ys III was actually a 2d action RPG like Zelda 2 (!) and that there's a real nice looking remade 2d version on the PS2, i kinda wished i had played that PS2 version instead. Knowing that it was a 2D action RPG originally, it totally makes sense why most of this game is played in 2.5D, something i thought was kinda weird at times since parts of the game are also done isometrically.

Also, i believe the PC version doesn't include the english voicework without modding it in.

believe me, you'll be just fine without that voicework hah. It's, ehh, it's not very good.

In the end, Ys Oath brought me back to a series that Ys II almost had me walk completely away from. I currently also own Ys Seven and Ys Origin, I'm aware that Memories of Celceta is a remake of Ys IV, that there's no legit english release of Ys V, and that while Ys VI appears to exist on the PSP, PS2, and the PC that they aren't digitally available stateside in any decent way. I kinda wanna do the crazy thing and play them all sequentially (I know that that means i should've started with Origins but everywhere i read said to play Origin after Oath) but, more importantly, i kinda don't want to play them out of order in case one Ys's story carries into the next.

You would think this would be Ysier.

Go play Origins first, and then Seven and Celceta. Seven and Celceta play much differently than the rest of the series since they introduce a party system, weapon weaknesses, and no more jumping. They are still great games, but they are much much easier, and pretty different than Origins and Oath.

I just got back to Borderlands 2 to do the two Playfire achievements I got left and I still kinda like the cartoony style of the game. I'm currently travelling around to uncover the last few locations for the World Traveller achievement and the variety of environments is quite nice imo. I'm glad I don't have to grind or fight anything large tho lol

Sounds like a solid approach. Plus, having Origins on steam means it's going to look so much nicer than Oath did on the PSP. High res and 60 fps should really help with something as twitch-based as a Ys game.

Also, Is BL2 another one of those games where setting PhysX to max crushes your framerate? The game dips frequently and i'm starting to think that my old nemesis Physx is to blame.

Yes, and you could get the demo or release for free or something before they started to charge for it IIRC.

And it isn't stupid. It's actually pretty funny if you're into "dating sims" because of how weird it is.

The idea for points is: you will always waste a little amount of money.
For example:
if a DLC costs 400 points, you need to buy 500 points, so you spare 100 points. What can you buy with 100 points?
Nothing at all. So if you wanna purchase another DLC, you need to buy another 500 points. And you will spare points forever, basically.

Yeah which is exactly why I never picked up any of the Mass Effect DLCs, just watched Let's Plays for those sections. Horrible business practice.

Any body have an efficient way to sell of their cards? After idling I now have over 200 cards I need to sell. It can be a little cumbersome to find out the lowest buying price for a card when selling as I just want to get rid of them fast don't care about the extra pennies I can make. Anybody have a process for listing a lot of cards fast?

Realize this was an hour ago, but just saw it. The two main ways are have a legitimate heir or give it away to someone under you. It's also possible that if you have something in a far flung region with a different overlord, you may be sol unless you fight the liege. This mostly happens if the title is tied to your spouse, there's no kids eligible, and giving it to a vassal would still put it out of your realm.

Thanks , is crazy how deep this game is, the downside is that im going to be at work all day thinking about playing it

I'm sorry you got scammed Liez. It happened to me too a few days ago. I think you have a better chance of recovering it than I do. You should save your chat log with him.

Did he blocked you after that trade?

I get married in less than 9h (pictures in 5h) and I am currently tired because I chose to spend the night before playing Revengeance. This is why I need my (non-Kardashian) wife, I clearly can't be trusted on my own.

weird that you folks get scammed. Whenever i trade, i pick stuff from the other person's backpack, put my keys in my section, hit the checkmark and it's done. Seems safe enough to me.

I guess it's through the paypal stuff, like getting keys in the black market? Yeah, i don't mind taking a hit getting keys off the market itself since it's the safest way to go about it. I mean, chances are that i'm already saving a bunch of money as it is anyway.

I dunno, maybe i've just been lucky ::shrugs::

As far as I know (and I don't know much), the easiest way to unload cards is to go to your inventory and on each card it says what the lowest selling point is, and to match that. After the first card you don't have to agree to the terms with the checkbox as it fills itself in from then on, but with over 200 cards, that is going to take a LONG time. Maybe someone knows a faster way? Thought I'd address it to see if anyone had more to add.
