oh well. Should I grind out to learn these esper spells or continue on normally? I remember ppl saying not to grind until later (or is this the later?) but guides are saying its better to get all the spells before moving on, which is it?

That is for min/maxing. There is an enemy you can fight that gives no exp so you can get all the spells. Then you only use the espers that give level up bonuses to boost stats.

I love how Bandais 60fps focus benefits PC and consoles playing Berseria in 60fps feels great and Naruto too.

I wish everyone could be more like Bandai

CD Keys isn't affiliated with any publishers; it sells keys taken from physical stock purchased in bulk. That's not to say the keys are fraudulently obtained, but it does mean that CD Keys isn't an authorised distributor of the products it offers, which is generally the detail people are after when they ask if the site is legitimate.

Okay, fair. My point is that they buy the keys themselves and you are dealing with them directly, which is quite a bit different than G2A's model of having third-party sellers.

I've never heard of a case of people getting bad keys from cdkeys whereas I've heard plenty from G2A.

You'll find espers with better "learn rates" for the same spells later, so the farther you can get in the game without grinding them on ever character, the better. Usually it's best to equip each character with one until they all learn all the spells, then rotate them around as needed.

Nice, I think I got most of the bundle stars bundles so.....who knows if there's anything for me lol.


Anyways, I just beat The Stanley Parable. I liked the humor and the Narrator was awesome as a character.

Though not really my type of game as far as gameplay is concerned and also too short.

I gave it a 74 out of 100.

Continued playing Ys Origin on my laptop. Like Oath, the memes in the achievements make it a worse game.

You don't play Ys for cheeovs or the names given to the cheevos.
You play it for that glorious Falcom Action RPG goodness.

 

[Lomax]

I remember starting as normal and then using that difficulty setting you're talking about until now. It gets pretty easy once you start getting gear.

you need to farm

It's like the third mission in the entire game, there's nothing to farm... I think it's just only having two people it's so devastating when one dies the other gets quickly overwhelmed. I'll switch to normal until I have a bit of a team and some gear and then switch it back to the harder one.

I beat RYSE and it was pretty fun tbqh, the whole execution system and not even having to hit the correct button is pretty lame, but I was shocked to find that the combat system actually does involve having to time things correctly in order to do well, this is more noticeable against the bosses and later enemies..

the story is fucking stupid as shit though:

when did the britons invade rome? who the fuck is king oswald? why does boudica have war elephants?

wtf the historical inaccuracies triggered the fuck out of me

dem visuals tho, I actually liked it pretty well also, it's a good romp for about $10-$20.

 

[Tizoc]

All you people who liked Ryse should play Killer is Dead at least.

Y'all are falling into the trap that you'll excuse a game's uninspired content just because of fancy graphics. Though I digress; I find that Ryse would've been a far better game if it were Telltale like than trying to be a Lite Action hack n' slash.

I havent played it in ages but doesnt the game have straight up magic, or deities?

 

[Tizoc]

I mean, it's the same with Killer is Dead. Game is only notable for the visuals too, just in a different direction.

Killer is Dead is shorter for one thing. The combat at least offers some challenge despite its simplicity, and I'll take going all Kenshiro with a sword on mooks (dodge counter) any day.
In addition the game offers challenge missions that mix up the game a little, and has Liam O'brien as a gold loincloth body builder who wants to take over the world from his home base on the moon.

 

[Tellaerin]

I haven't played it myself, but if that's the case, historical accuracy's the last thing anybody should be expecting. It's kind of like stressing because Street Fighter's not an accurate depiction of martial arts.

 

[Rhaknar]

Yup I thought so. Ryse spoilers:

Spoiler

In the end, Marius sacrifices himself to buy time for the final ships to sail, but is resurrected by the goddess Summer, who tasks him with taking on the mantle of Damocles, a legendary Roman general who was abandoned to his enemies for political expediency. In that guise, Summer tells him to avenge his family and comrades, and save Rome.

Also

Spoiler

As Marius gives chase, he is temporarily distracted by Aquilo, the god of the north wind, who has been aiding Nero and whose stated goal is to cause the collapse of Rome.

Not to mention the game is officially straight up a alternate version of Rome.

But my first thought was "highest definition in tits" and wondered "is that a Atelier character? Theres no Estelle in Azure..."

Sorry for the late reply. I am well aware that salaries vary drastically across Europe, I am sorry to hear that you are severely hit by unreasonable regional pricing. This is a game that was recently priced at 10 euro, which was it's historically lowest pricing point. I find it highly unlikely that the developers gave their consent to have their game de-valued in such a drastic manner, especially given that the game has already sold pretty well. Why would the developers green-light a fire sale at this point?

Games development is already a fairly volatile business endeavor especially within the indie scene. If you want to buy it at a deep discount, why not wait for it appear in a Humble Bundle, which we all know it eventually will? Many developers have been pretty outspoken about how damaging G2A's practices are. Developers got to eat too.

Well I did it for few reasons. First this big amount of keys is not easy to get and game wasn't in any bundle before so there is good chance that they got keys from developer (under what conditions nobody knows). Second thing is devs stayed silent after people asked them, if there is some kind of fraud they would speak for sure. And third thing is game was released year ago and game was sold in over 350K copies so they got majority if not all money they invested in game back. As I said before I really try to support devs as much as I can by using legit stores but now and then I will take a deal from shady site (and that happens once or twice per year, sometimes once per 2 years).

Mobius FF is garbage. The only positive thing is, for now, you don't actually need to pay in order to proceed with the story.
Also G2A are scummy as usual, I trusted them to be legit but probably they just bought a batch of keys from Indiegala and sold them back to the players (and both Syberia games plus Dirt 3 were given for free in multiple istances).

 

[Deques]

I failed you anti-g2a-gaffers, I bought the bundle despite saying that I wouldn't


Btw, how many of you are playing Fire Emblem Heroes?

 

[Mobius and pet octopus]

So I bought sir you are being hunted. I had played a few hours of it a couple years ago, but I dove in at 4 bucks; I wasn't expecting a ton from a 20 dollar title. But damn, that game is just... barren. Every biome was just boring. Well I only went to 3-4 of them before sending in for a refund.

I am surprised how the game has such high review rating. Is this a good game and I am just missing it's brilliance? I've played a ton of games like it... just seems so... empty and lifeless.

I forgot how this worked. I have a bunch of dupe Steam keys for games I already own on my account. If I try to activate them on said account and Steam tells me I already own the game, the key is still valid right?
Basically the dupe key message would show up instead of the already owned message if the key was already used?

Yes.
