i've been getting into indie monster tamer games, they're pretty fun or is it just interesting to see what they do different? currently enjoying monster crown, but it seems to be really buggy on switch so you might want to get it on another platform if you're into it.
just mentioning cause idk i think i can pass on grabbing a digital version of the classics since i already got carts and the older remakes.
played the demos for dragon quest 11 and trials of mana forever ago and eventually got them, now i'm thinking if i should start them from the beginning cause i don't exactly remember the story aspects of 1 and gameplay of the other from the demos when i get around to them... maybe i'll just continue and look for a tutorial section in a menu.
think the transferable save data thing and just starting from the beginning gets me invested, but games kind of open up part way through so i don't know how well they represent some games. how did arms do it? you pretty much got the main experience for a limited time? the disgaea 5 trial got me invested and i ended up buying it even though i was nearly finished with it, think it was on sale during the trial.
beat the first one recently, was boring at first but picked up. boss fights were cool even though they didn't really use the main gimmick and you had to manually adjust the camera a lot, looks like those are fixed in the sequel. i'll go for it.
haven't played any, i forget how these work is there a way to see the results like polls? i heard ryza isn't that great in the series when i looked it up while it was on sale
i kind of think it's a joke, the last update seemed tongue in cheek, including notes on it ain't something you'd think to do if ya wanna bury it and saying something is 80% removed or hard to remove doesn't make sense to me.
@Lizuka took them 5-6 years, but i still agree, the timing with vouchers seems strategic too. i'm thinking about the pain point if it's worth it for nintendo and if they'd sell as many or this and another game.
gamefreak sure are stubborn about not releasing their new ip on the platforms they're more known on. Tembo any good? i've been interested. harmoknight was just alright
how's the pricing structure? i don't like the upfront cost and stress about having a good time. been to parks that had punch cards and each attraction was worth however many punches
looks like he barely inches forward each beat, the music didn't get me either. i kind of want to blame the trailer since it cut so often but i don't the odds are too bad it's really like that
there's a game on kickstarter, the campaign hasn't launched yet but i recognize it from an interesting dev log series, Zoe and the cursed dreamer. it had a campaign before but didn't meet its goal and the dev apparently redid the game in secret while showcasing newer projects on their discord.
streetpass was a super cool feature but i wouldn't carry around my switch as much as my 3ds, they should make it a part of their smartphone nintendo app
i do not like the idea of a switch pro, these half steps and minor upgrades just make me annoyed about the little i'm missing out on but not enough to justify going for it.
i could use a free update guide, ritual of the night was my game of the year, 100%ed it, did a new game plus right after, and a zangetsu playthrough. other than that i need a reminder of what else is in there
i voted historian thinking about how i went from bloodstained to order of ecclesia and not enjoying going down a lot but... i just remembered going from ff9 to 7 and mmbn4 to 6(sf1&3) to 5 and i'm planning on getting legacy collection vol 1
so i haven't marathoned a series but i guess it depends on how one changes from entry to entry... somehow forgot i just ordered a ds version of the would ends with you before i tackle neo which is waiting for me. this topic is messing up my niarb
uh... so i guess some older entries might not be worth playing or it'll kill your interest? no, i got it. order depends on series cause some don't necessarily improve as they go on too, some are just different enough to be interesting in their own right.
i going from disgaea 1 to 5 i enjoyed them both but i liked doing item world in 1 better, eventually i'll do 4 and 6.
i want to know if this isn't one of those kinds of games where you push boxes.
bayo 3 had a demo for it included, it was kind of neat of a inclusion, but it didn't give a feel like there was much to it or could go the distance. well it lacked a bit compared to what was shown in the trailer, but i'm left thinking if the rest is the same as just pressing A next to flowers.
of those floppy knights seemed interesting, i don't well understand what was going on though. i looked it up and didn't seem related to dicey dungeons, maybe they just share an artist?
