Topic: Games you recently DROPPED

@OmnitronVariant Understandable. The whole reason I buy it on pc instead of Switch 2, tbh is because I need mod to enjoy the game

Hope you have better time on other games

Flora & Fang - (NS)

Inspired by Donkey Kong 3. Yet the levels tend to over stay their welcome, the game is just too long which doesn't suit the DK3-like Arcadey gameplay mechanics, and the soundtrack just left me feeling cold. pretty ameture actually.

I like the idea of Vampire Children guarding their fathers farm while he's out on vacation, from insects & other baddies. And it does exapand on the DK3 formula by throwing in different weapons, more robust, varried and funkier location/level design vs the simple early 80's point racker it's inspired by, but eh. i might give it another chance. I'm just not feeling it right now.

Silver Bullet - (NS)

There's a great game in there, that riffs off Wild Guns, but unfortunately Stick aiming does not work for this type of game at all. The Wii Remotes pointer aiming(With a sensor bar) and then using the nunchuck to move & dash with your character would of absolutely saved this. Giving you that much needed pin point precision and fluidity that you just can't get with stick aiming.

I'll give credit where it's do and that's the art style, presentation and sheer variety at play. It's pretty cool and is of higher quality than Flora & Fang, but unfortunately completely tarnished due to the archiac control scheme. No modern platform can save it(No sensor bar, no dice), unless it gets a Quest 3 port which obviously isn't hapenning.

Fantasian Neo Dimension
I think it is a good and enjoyable mobile game, but it is far from a masterpiece like Final Fantasy VII-X. Even Lost Odyssey is far better. I just feel no love for this game, because it feels so much like whatever. At least the graphics are good, right?

I hate to say it because it is a good game and I got pretty far in it, but I think I'm done with Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. I'm going for the orbs, I got one of them, and I'm at the boss fights for three other ones and I just get the floor wiped with me on all three of them. The problem is I know what I have to do. I have to go and change my characters' classes so they can get more powers, and the grind of doing all of it just throws me off of wanting to play. Especially since I'll have to do it multiple times because you can't change them all at the same time or you'll get killed. I just hate the thought of going through all that grind for a game that I only thought was pretty good but not amazing up till this point anyway. If I had nothing else to play I'd stick with it, but I have too many other games that I've put on the back burner for this because I really wanted to try to get into Dragon Quest, so I think it's time to cut my losses and move on.

@Xyphon22 felt the same way as you did. By the time I got to the end, I dropped the difficulty just to finish it.

@NintendoByNature I actually forgot dropping the difficulty was an option. Maybe I'll try that and see if I can get farther without having to change classes and grind. Or maybe not and I'll just be done. We'll see.

@Xyphon22 it’s kinda cheap since you can’t die, but it’s good in a pinch if you’re getting wiped and don’t want to grind

@NintendoByNature Oh, you can't die? Well I definitely won't have to grind then. I'll probably do it then, at least for the boss battles, just because I've already come this far. Thanks.

@Xyphon22 no problem. I really didn’t want to go that route personally but the tail end of that game was tough as nails. I had no choice.

Just to make the stakes a bit higher I ended up using medicines and healing to at least use some MP items. Felt like it was a fair trade off.

@NintendoByNature I normally would never do it, either. But if it's between doing that or just quitting and not finishing it, I guess I'll do it since I'm this far and would like to see the end. I did the three boss battles (which was weird because two of them just never used the one move they had that would keep me from beating them normally. I don't know if dropping the difficulty eliminates those moves or if I just got weirdly lucky). I plan on raising the difficulty back up to continue on since I was generally fine except for those battles. Two orbs to go!

The way I did it starting about halfway through that game was using the option where you can't die for grinding only, so that I didn't have to zoom to a town and heal after every other battle 😅. I defeated every boss without it though. Still, if you don't have the patience or time for all that grinding, or just want to chill while playing, then wanting to use that option is definitely reasonable 😀.

I'm about ready to drop Advance Wars 1+2 Reboot Camp. I'm on mission 12 and I just don't understand what I'm doing wrong. I already turned the game down from classic to casual several missions ago and I'm still being decimated no matter what I try.
