Topic: The Chit-Chat Thread

Don’t you hate it when somebody volunteers you to do something when you aren’t there, and then they get mad at you when you aren’t jumping out of your seat to go do said thing.

I really need to get off the Internet and just enjoy my games. I'm emotionally drained from social interaction online.

@Sunsy I do want to mention that the game is a lot of trail and error, depending on the difficulty, but I would say keep the same kind set regardless.

@TheJGG Enjoy your time in nature! Based off of how much time you've allegedly put into Xenoblade Chronicles 3, not to mention your family's reaction, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the game must be VERY good. My copy is still slated for Monday. What's maddening is that it's currently sitting in my local UPS hub.... :grimace:

@MarioLover92 I didn't know Smash Bros. even existed until my high school years; I had some gaming exposure as a kid, but I usually only gravitated towards anime or cartoon tie-ins or quality games I'd already been exposed to, like Super Mario Bros and the Donkey Kong Country games. I learned the hard way that licensed games can be quite a mixed bag, though I thankfully was only exposed to a small handful of true stinkers. (I will never understand my sister's obsession with anything Hannah Montana related....She had so much DS shovelware....). Battles...levels...pretty similar to me where Smash is involved.

It'll be interesting to experience some of the Wave 2 courses vicariously through those with the DLC lol. I've decided I'll dive in and out of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe once in awhile, either with folks from here or just online in general. I actually finished up Metroid Dread earlier than I thought a little bit ago, so I played MK8D online for about half an hour before exercising.

@Maxenmus Sometimes we all need a break from the internet. It can be a wonderful place, but also a very volatile one. At the end of the day, like almost anything, it's a neutral tool that has the ability to help or harm. I do agree that Digimon Survive could've been marketed better; that could be do in part to its troubled development cycle. If it's any consolation, I'm aware that it's a mixture of a VN and a strategy RPG, both of which I like. It'll be quite a while before I get to the game however. As an aside, I have read that some Steam users are having issue with the game, but they can be fixed by uninstalling some K-Lite file or something.

same, I also got hollow knight for $15. I'd like to play it but my brain breaks whenever I try to play it.

Yeah, it's of consolation. I'm glad that you're interested in the game. Honestly, all I want is just to discuss this game with people who like it, trying to get into conversations and stuff. Digimon fans aren't exactly abundant in our Pokémon-dominated world (let alone visual novel Digimon fans, two of the most niched fandoms in history). Just saying. 😆

Yeah, probably best that I've refunded my Steam copy and bought it on Switch. 😆

@Sunsy
I don't play xcom since I knew that's rated M games but I played Transformers Battleground on PS4 more confident than Mario + Rabbids.
Maybe Transformers Battleground have been set in episodic mission than manual exploration in Mario + Rabbids, for me it was pretty quick to continue the gameplay after one mission finished. But, I don't play the game as intense as Youtubers Life 2 since Tactic games felt less interesting than games with genre like Harvest Moon style so I tend to play Tactic games every 1 - 2 mission since one mission can take quite long time to finish and in my mind, finishing one mission with duration between 20 - 30 minutes already felt long and my brain already felt enough to play until 1 - 2 mission.
Fun fact, I still haven't finished my Mario + Rabbids since I bought the team in year 2017. 😅

Also, I oftenly forget to find the right time to buy Final Fantasy Tactics PSP version as other games are still more important to get first than the PSP games.
The last time I played FF Tactics on PS1 in year 2005. It has been long time I didn't play FF Tactics again. I also consider FF Tactics A2 on NDS but again, still have difficulty to find the right time to buy that game as FF Tactics A2 was easily get sold on my local online shopping website and some seller still have the game but with quite expensive price (more than $70) considering FF Tactics A2 was one of most wanted NDS games.

Say, I heard you have tried some never before played games to expand your gaming experience. Just keep going. 👍
Btw, if you ready enough to play Harvest Moon style games, you can try Story of Seasons: Pioneer of Olive Town on Steam since you play Steam games and Steam version have better performance than Switch version (I will pick the PS4 version since the game is already available now) or you can try Youtubers Life 2 as I still play that game almost everyday since I got the game two weeks ago.

@Tyranexx
I played Hannah Montana games too. 😆
On PS3, PSP and NDS.
I have finished the PS3 and PSP version despite I already know they are mediocre games but at least they are still playable and easy enough to play.
I still haven't touched my two Hannah Montana games on NDS since i bought them 8 months ago, maybe I still haven't have the hype to continue the games but I will make sure to play them to show my responsibility to take care my purchased games.
Also, it's sad to see Miley Cyrus gone wild and controversial after she grown up.
To see Miley Cyrus as innocent teenage girl in Hannah Montana to become badass woman in her singing career (not to mention her controversial video clips like Wrecking Ball and her attitudes), I felt really disappointed.
I personally don't like the transformation from her angelic voice in Hannah Montana to raspy voice in her current singing career.
It was like she was no longer the same person that used to know.

@Maxenmus if there is anything worse than the Steam reviews, it’s the YouTube comment section. There are many examples of games I love but the online community seems to hate. It’s a shame when people just jump on the bandwagon too without really experiencing the game.

@Anti-Matter sad to say Miley Cyrus was always kinda screwed messed up because of Disney and contracts and some other stuff. It's sad to see how Disney really wants people to stay with them after they're kids, they'll do anything to make you stay even if it means they'll be messed up later down the road.

I'm not going to use heavy details mainly because I don't want to disturb anyone here.

@Snatcher Noted then. I did the first few missions, the tutorial one and the first real mission, and completed it well. Playing on easy as I'm new to turn-based strategy games.

@Anti-Matter Fair enough, family friendly games are more your thing. I had XCOM from a freebie Steam gave away years ago, trying Mario+Rabbids made me curious since it plays similarly (and I have a computer that can run the game now too).

I didn't know FF Tatics was on PSP, I remember a friend played it on GBA. I remember that release because he played it almost regularly, sometimes we'd linked up for multiplayer games. Mostly stuff like Zelda Four Swords, Sonic Advance, Kirby Nightmare In Dreamland.

That I do, if a game sparks interest, I like to look into it more and eventually try it. Only if it interests me and has me curious.

@Anti-Matter

#1 how open is the world

#2 how deep is the character customisation

#3 what do you rate the game out of 1 to 10

@Kermit1
1. You will see the characters from above, pretty much like Harvest Moon games in 3D environments. You cannot rotate the camera angle though. In Youtubers Life 2, the locations you can visit only 3 areas: Downtown, Uptown and Port. Each areas have subway tunnel so you can quickly travel to other areas without wasting the time as in Youtubers Life2, the time is divided into 15 minutes. Every 15 minutes in game take several seconds in real life, pretty much same as Harvest Moon games.

2. There is a character customization in the game before you start. Hairstyle, outfits, tattoos, accessories, etc can be changed anytime but your color skin, your gender, eyes shape, eyes color, mouth shape, your name cannot be changed once you confirmed so think carefully before customize your character.

3. So far, I rate Youtubers Life 2 as 8/10 as I can play as a boy to get married with the dudes (something that I really dream about), gameplay have similarity as Harvest Moon games, unique gameplay to play as Youtuber with interesting activities from playing video games, taking photos to Instalife, attending Play Con event, do live streaming / interview, etc.

@Anti-Matter I put this game on my wishlist, sadly I spent all my game money yesterday and I forgot about this game I will try to get this game one day! I MUST MARRY ZELDA IN A VIDEOGAME ONE DAY!!!!

@Kermit1
Oh, there is "Zelda" parody names in Youtubers Life 2 as I have ever mentioned before.
I found The Legend of Welda from the poster inside Geektopia basement with almost exactly same Zelda poster design, there is also a Mantendo Zii (Nintendo Wii) game with name Flute of Time (Ocarina of Time).

Even there is Shigeru Miyamoto parody (Mayamoto) with almost exactly same looking. You can meet him inside Play Con and he will give you a Piranha plant (yes, the same name from Mario games) after you answered his question about first "Mario" game year release (even the answer was the same as the actual Super Mario Bros NES year release).

Oh, here is the trailer of real Youtubers in Youtubers Life 2.

@Anti-Matter I love how my favourite small YouTuber PewDiePie is in this game.

He has a few controversies, but he's small enough people won't notice them.

Oh I heard he had a new controversy this week.

@Eel I never watch him, but whenever I hear about him it's because he did something very rude or bad.

@Kermit1 I don’t really watch him either. But to be fair to him, this one sounds a bit blown out of proportion.
