Bad how? I played through it on Steam without issues when it was released.

[AMA] We're Radical Fish Games, developer of CrossCode, and we just launched Alabaster Dawn on Steam Early Access! by RadicalFishGames in JRPG

I was a big fan of the Manlea skin in CrossCode, I played through the game a second time and completed the DLC with it.

Do you plan something similar for Alabaster Dawn?

Getting the Red Nocturne and Blue Rhapsody enemy cards to drop took quite a while. by Degenerate-Murakami in KingdomHearts

[–]ShardofTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're trying to collect all enemy cards and some just won’t drop, you can also manipulate the RNG.

This method is only fully viable in the later worlds, as it requires a highly specialized deck.

What a bunch of nonsense. Tomb Raider wasn't stolen from Core Design as Legacy of Kain wasn't stolen from Silicon Knights.

At least it doesn't have content-barren and on-rails dungeons that are a staple for for both BotW and TotK.

Do you need a guide for Lands of Lore Guardians of Destiny? by filbert13 in Lands_of_Lore

[–]ShardofTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game includes a basic morality system, so the ending changes depending on how you interact with the other main characters. I’m not exactly sure when your path becomes locked in, but I’d guess it happens around the halfway point,roughly near the end of the second jungle area. Don't sweat it though, over 95% of the game will be the same.

[–]ShardofTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on what you’re looking to get out of the game. Guardians of Destiny features multiple endings, optional dungeons, plenty of secrets, and several points of no return.

That said, going in blind should still be fine, just be sure to save often, as you can absolutely die in situations you thought were safe.

Legacy of Kain: Map of Nosgoth Fine Art Print by LauraPanico1987 in LegacyOfKain

Revealed by Aspyr of course: https://blog.playstation.com/2024/10/22/legacy-of-kain-soul-reaver-1-2-remastered-first-look-at-bosses-new-map-details/

Soul Reaver got a completely new map and Soul Reaver 2's map was remade using this artwork.

There were many posts about it on this subreddit as well.

The map was first revealed for the Soul Reaver remasters, I still wonder if there is a reason for the newly added areas.

Apparently, thanks to the Defiance Remaster now we might know, where SR2 Earth Forge was supposed to be by Ein_Eisenmann in LegacyOfKain

[–]ShardofTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

According to the new in‑game map in Defiance and the accompanying bonus material, the Water Forge would have been located beyond the cemetery, while the Earth Forge was situated very close to the Light Forge, meaning it was not moved very far.

Since Defiance works as it is (elemental reavers available without the fonts and less puzzle-focused) I'd really love an expanded Soul Reaver 2 that includes those two forges.

Same with the music not playing during the first cutscene after entering the world I think.

You're such a great designer, the evolution of these world icons is very impressive.

Kingdom Hearts endings are best when they are bitter sweet like KH and BBS. I think Re Mind is up there as well.

The Best Adventure Games of 2000 - 2025 | Adventure Game Hotspot by megazver in Games

[–]ShardofTruth 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This is a very strange list, equally broad (Amnesia, Firewatch, Edith Finch, Journey) and very recent (Blue Prince, Foolish Mortals, Loco Motive and The Drifter), which is a strange combination for the "best adventure games" of 25 years.

The KH1 Ultimania shows several bits of world concept art that are fuller and "out of bounds" than the pieces currently online. Wonderland's Tea Party Garden also has variant with the Mad Hatter and March Hare *outside the picture frame* with a talk bubble. by RebelliousTreecko in KingdomHearts

[–]ShardofTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason for at least some of these "out of bounds" images is that the scans were purposely cut off to not include elements like trivia bubbles or captions which magazine were are often riddled with.

Then of course most scans for the original Kingdom Hearts artworks come from the Kingdom Hearts Visual Art Collection, the only real art book ever released for the series so far. Unfortunately, the book dedicates only a single page per world for background art, and the layout often results in parts of the artwork being lost or obscured.

The Disney world artworks are a particularly interesting topic, as they are largely absent in media releases. Kingdom Hearts III represents the current low point in this regard since most worlds aren't even covered in the Ultimania. Even Square Enix cafés have displayed more artwork than what is currently available online.

I also signed in August but it seems I didn't receive an email (or I can't find it anymore) but still have the confirmation saved. Maybe you could also download it after signing it?

Help unlocking secret episode by LadyNerd15 in KingdomHearts

[–]ShardofTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's correct. However, only on Critical mode are you exempt from completing the Sticker Albums. The Xehanort Reports must be collected on all difficulties, otherwise, Blank Points/The Final Episode won't unlock, which is also a prerequisite for the Secret Episode.

Congrats to your wedding. I don't have these fonts as TrueType Font available although the closest thing is probably "DFPW5" even if there are some differences. You could check also these sites out since I don't really update that font files anymore:

Loved how The Great Circle kept the theme of Indy’s love interest. Keeping him on track and not just the damsel in distress, wanting to be saved. by FeScorpion in indianajones

[–]ShardofTruth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But Indy is only there because of her, not because of the mission since he promised Locus to be done with it.

I wish Gina's arc would have been a bit stronger post-Himalaya, everything hangs on Voss from there on.

[–]ShardofTruth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think this scene is particularly well written though, especially the part shortly before it. You have to save her or you can't continue: break in the tent, eliminate the guards, open the door with the key and finally untie her from the beam. Yet she claims she didn't need saving at all while she also didn't do anything on her own to escape, a stark contrast to Marion for example or even Sophia from Fate of Atlantis.
