Well, to each his own, I suppose. I'm curious, though, was it any specific part, or just the game in general?

Mainly it was the lack of real input on the investigations and the way the dialog choices were horribly unrepresentative of what Cole would say or do.

 

[TechnicaUS]

Skla, you might be right.

This two screen battle system is so cool!

And the music!

You get the hang of it already? I'd a figured it'd trip you up at first. And yeah, it may be the one of the best uses for the dual screens period.

And the music only gets better as you go.

 

[RecursiveFault]

Yeah, on replays, I rush to the middle, and sit there as long as I can. It's not a great plot, and some of the fights are kinda bullshit (fuck Harbinger and the praetorians), but I really, really enjoy the new characters introduced in the game, and the expansion of the characters from ME1.

Yup, that is definitely the good stuff. I can see why people really love it for that. If I hadn't played it back to back I might've been more accepting.

It's oddly intuitive. But, I have a dual monitor setup at work so I'm used to multitasking.

Yeah bro. Yeah.

 

[skLaFarebear]

Also, only one insight away from being able to play with other people here!

 

[RecursiveFault]

Yeah bro. Yeah.

Actually FemShep is best girl, but that's a given.

Spoiler

Miranda is really hot but I don't like her but she's really hot

 

[semisonic]

I'll just stop you right there. Tropical Freeze is fantastic, but DKC2 is the clear superior.



I didn't say it was the best mash-up, I just posted it here because it went up super recently.

Also I honestly think there's too much clutter happening in ILMFH for it to be best mash.

DKC2 is maybe the better game, but I prefer DK's feeling of weight to diddys feeling of not weight.
I prefere DKC 1 to 2 and TF to 1.
Really tho, the ost was what clinched it for me. It's one of the most important aspects to any game period to a music nut like me, and I couldn't not put that there.

Also replaced Metroid Prime with Xenoblade because I never fully beat MP because my disc crashed on the elevator before I could fight ridley and I'm still salt about that.

 

[Ohmygoditsjrod]

The rush from beating

Spoiler

him

was unbelievable. I did the whole stand up, fist pump thing.

After I fought him the first 2 times I thought he would be a grind. Got the timing down for riposte and owned his ass the 3rd time. Super satisfying. I'm enjoying the combat more that the souls games.

FemShep and Liara is the best ship. It's the canon one as far as I'm concerned.

Spoiler

Miranda has that ass, but she ain't into women, so it's irrelevant.

 

[RoyaleDuke]

IT ACTUALLY FEELS LIKE YOU'RE IN A FUCKING CITY.

LIKE I THOUGHT I LIKED THE INTERCONNECTEDNESS OF DkS OR Demons', but THIS FUCKING GAME THOUGH.

All this fucking amazing in this game I can't.

BLOODBORNE WHY YOU SO FUCKING GOOD?

WHY.

Fuck I've stayed up almost two nights in a row now playing.

PAT?! HAVE YOU FUCKING PLAYED THIS AMAZING SHIT?

Liara best girl fite me irl

Tali is one of the only characters I've ever actually thought felt like a real person, and she has a lot of really adorable moments in 2 and 3. (Although Bioware did kind of shit all over anyone who ships Tali in 3, what with the stock photo bullshit, and the fact that she is the only character (to my knowledge) that Shepard never says "I love you" to.)

 

[sjay1994]

k, going to stick around since we are going to enter thread 17 soon

 

[Ilvocare]

I didn't get much choice on the games I got when I was younger so eh...But now that I'm an adult I can buy whatever I want. Especially creepy anime games for the vita

I whole-heartedly support this critical life decision.

Not just me, its a universally loved game. Glad you're enjoying it, because it only gets crazier and better from there.

Its a mechanically deep game, but can still be enjoyed by anyone looking to have fun. Its a perfect game for basically anyone and is a game that can only exist on something like the DS, without making major changes to its combat mechanics.

If there's one thing I'll disagree with the Best Friends on, it's that there is NO shittalking the Puck Pass system. Also even if I somehow WAS allowed to play TWEWY on Android or iOS, why the fuck would I???

Spoiler

For fuck's sake the battle system was justified in the lore of the game, how can you stand to make it single screen without grievously retconning the game?

Liara felt like a person in 1, then she transformed into a super bad-ass space scientist ultra bad-ass for no reason and it ruined a bit of her likability.

The switch cleaver thing. Thinking about trying out the hammer out once I get enough shit.

Nice, nice.

Hopefully not too soon.

Its going to happen sooner than you think, but slower than you hoped.

 

[TechnicaUS]

Right? Just so you know, it will get fairly hectic later on. And don't forget to pay attention to the puck. That shit's super important.

 

[beinfilms]

Mainly it was the lack of real input on the investigations and the way the dialog choices were horribly unrepresentative of what Cole would say or do.

I don't really see the lack of input thing (it isn't great, but there are certainly plenty of times when solving the case relies on your finding evidence, although I suppose you are sort of railroaded into it), and the dialog choice thing I think makes a lot more sense if you know that "doubt" was originally "press," or something along those lines. Makes it a bit more Phoenix Wright-y.

I dunno, it just never really bothered me, I guess.

 

[AngryCanadian]

There is a lot of Snake Eater ladders in this game.

 

[JooseBawcks]

We almost made it 2 weeks, but our shitposting was too strong

sjay has turned into skLa

 

[RecursiveFault]

Oh this is page 199. I kinda wanted to goto bed.

Well whatever.

Hurry and shitpost pls

 

[Skrams]

I'm just baffled. I loved Souls so much, and this just... did... everything good.

I'm having trouble processing this.

Only problem I have so far is you can't rest at lamps to reset the area. I can only assume it's a technical limitation of being unable to reset the area, some story reasoning, or to mitigate grinding.

So in all the reviews of bloodborne and impressions and stuff i always heard that ammo for your gun was really limited. I have 20 on me and 99 bullets in storage....

I have the opposite problem right now where I have almost health pots in storage and 16 bullets. I keep using them for big guys because it's a free kill.

 

[Tako]

Oh man dreams do come true I'm about to order this bad boy. I had always wanted on as a babby but now I can finally achieve it

 

[beinfilms]

Hey, we did it! Yay!

 

[Ultimate_Trainer]

Nocturne is pretty good...

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

This is page 200. You can just post it now.

 

[RecursiveFault]

I think it's to mitigate grinding. If you decide to do it, it's really just load screens that make it a hassle, but you can make 1-2k a run in the starting area by funneling guys.

100% agree. Its a fine port that cleans up the graphics and adds some amazing songs, but the gameplay in the DS version is FAR better than the iOS version.

 

[beinfilms]

Liara felt like a person in 1, then she transformed into a super bad-ass space scientist ultra bad-ass for no reason and it ruined a bit of her likability.

I'm curious, who's your paramour? (I think that's the official term. I dunno, I always just said I romanced Tali, and left it at that.)

 

[RecursiveFault]

This is page 200. You can just post it now.

Oh yeah. I keep forgetting post 20000 is the end of this page.

Gimme a sec.

 

[skLaFarebear]

MY STAND..

I CAN FEEL IT..

 

[ArclightBorealis]

So, current Bloodborne loadout.

Right hand weapons:

Spoiler

Saw Cleaver +2 and Kirkhammer +1, with a bloodgem equipped on each one.

Left hand weapons:

Spoiler

Hunter Pistol and Repeating Pistol

Looking forward to what else this game will have in store.

Yeah it's in a similar situation with 999 that it's specifically made for the DS so any other version is gonna be the worse version by default.

See the carrying factor for me is that Dixie is the superior Aryan Kong of all time, and TP only pushes that law of the universe even further into reality. Since both games have her, I just need to look at the details surrounding the experience. I'm sorry man, but even though Retro know how to make sublime maingame content, they're lost when it comes to working out secrets and collectibles. Also you talk about the lack of weight but that's fine when you can obtain the ultimate momentum because rolling into enemies extends your roll in 2, and if you don't want that, that's ok because it's so fucking easy to determine how fast or slow you go.

Give me double teaming, Kremkoins, and Hero Coins over Puzzle Pieces, Kong stages, and fucking Banana Mirrors any day.

All this fucking amazing in this game I can't.

BLOODBORNE WHY YOU SO FUCKING GOOD?

WHY.

Fuck I've stayed up almost two nights in a row now playing.

PAT?! HAVE YOU FUCKING PLAYED THIS AMAZING SHIT?

I fully expect the game to take a nosedive in quality come the second half, and for the final boss to continue the tradition of utterly abysmal final fights in Miyazaki games.

[Xiraiya]

After having a lengthy discussion with Beloved, we've realized Life Is Strange is really going a lot further than Telltale with how things have different outcomes, and how the game really doesn't let you know half of the time that what you're doing will affect something later, even if in just a minor way, it's actually really impressive how many differences we had even with situations where we made the exact same choices but still got slightly different outcomes because of something earlier that we can't remember doing.
