Re: Soapbox: 15 Years Ago, The Action Replay Ruined Pokémon For Me

Justaguest

Its like we are playing the modern pokémon games with Action Replay. Everything is dumbed down and easy for the sake of being accessible. The series took a nosedive in quality with Sun&Moon. That awesome feeling of accomplishment that got me into the games is gone, and Ill always go back to older games when I feel like playing again.

Re: Talking Point: What Are You Playing This Weekend? (December 9th)

I have been trying to complete Blasphemous 1 because I enjoy it so much. Now that Ive found out that you have be very meticulous about what you do to actually not lock yourself out of the true ending, I will settle for the bad one. Kinda sucks though, since I bought the physical version for unjustifiable amount of money and I had hoped to finish the game completely.

Re: Talking Point: Would You Buy A Digital-Only 'Switch 2'?

Justaguest

The only time I buy digital games now is when theyre discounted. The 3ds eshop closure was a huge wake up call. Even then it felt kinda icky when I bought two fully priced games so I have a chance to play them (legit way). It didnt feel good knowing Ill lose them one day and being a bit forced into buying them before Ill never be able to. Needles to say, Im done "borrowing" games and Im now fully committed to physical releases.

Re: Poll: What Review Score Would You Give Advance Wars 1+2: Re-Boot Camp?

Probably 7 or 8 now. I was having so much fun with the campaign until I got stuck and finally checked on other stuff. The biggest sin for me is the online mode which is limited to friends only.. I dont get that at all and it really annoys me its still a thing in 2023. Another thing that bugs me is implementation of the fog. Im stuck on one campaign map where I tried to build my strategy around positioning my air units in a way that enemy should not be able to see them, but somehow the enemys field of vision is bigger than mine, because they can see me while I cant see them. I dont like to lose to confirm the enemys unit positions first for next time I play. This has happened only once though and its thanks the other CO having many more units. Having unfair fog mechanics and leading your small army into an unknown territory to set you up for next time, since the margin for error is really small, did not feel good to me.

Re: Dragon Quest XII: The Flames Of Fate Logo Gets A Minor Update

I finished 11 few days back and I loved it. I never thought Id enjoy it as much as I did. I dislike fairy tales stories, but this series is an exception and I knew that if it was anything like DQ9, Id like it. Good thing I went ahead and bought DQ8 as well, but I have no hope I can get the ds games (besides 9) for reasonable price now so I gave up on completing my collection.
I am hoping theyll approach 12 the same way they did 11. The game was beautiful and showed me what switch can really do, which annoyed me at the same time, since we got so many bad looking ports on switch. I have faith theyll handle this well, cant wait!

Re: Sega Explains Why Etrian Odyssey Origins Collection Costs $80

Justaguest

I wish EO wasnt one my most favourite series ever, but as a collector Ill still save more money if I buy this version - The 3rd game in the series was never remade and is very expensive but if I could get it for reasonable price, Id complete my collection on ds&3ds since those games were tailored for those systems. There is no way theyre gonna turn out better on switch or anything else. Not to mention the other games (after 4th) shot up in price as well so Ill wait for them to remake them as well.
