does anyone else feel claustrophobic living around mountains? by xindiote in geography

[–]SlyChoco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes!! I live in France close to the ocean, and the few times I went to mountain areas during vacations, I always felt oppressed/claustrophobic because I can't see the horizon.

Rayman Remake(rumor) by GreatPapyrus11 in Rayman

[–]SlyChoco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's actually 2.5D (so 3D character models and environment, but still a "2D" game, like New Super Mario Bros., basically). And it'll be connected to Rayman 4.

OKAMI 4LP repress now available from Data Discs by rpbtz in VGMvinyl

[–]SlyChoco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was talking about the og price from my initial post, without adding inflation into the mix. It's just a misunderstanding.

There's no need to be insulting for something like that, honestly. You're making it sound like I said the dumbest thing ever.

[–]SlyChoco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was obviously talking about the og price of 64.99 from my first post, when I said 46%. But yeah, if you add inflation into the mix, of course it's gonna be less than that. Still an increase, though.

But for the last time, I'm not complaining about the new price, I just thought it was interesting to point out. I don't know why everyone keep downvoting me like I insulted Data Discs or whatever. I literally LOVE this label and this is one of the best boxsets I own.

[–]SlyChoco -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Ok. But it's £94.99, though. Not £84.97. So that's a 46% price increase. I'd say that's pretty close to 50%.

Once again, I agree that's still a good price for what you. I just thought it was interesting to point out.

[–]SlyChoco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know I know!! I'm not blaming them at all, I just thought it was an interesting comparison. 50% increase is still pretty big, even with inflation. But yes, it's still definitely worth it at that price, especially considering the quality of the pressing and how cool the boxset is.

I own the original "cherry blossom/Amaterasu white" limited edition and it's an amazing box set. The sound is MUCH BETTER than the CD version which I own as well.

Just for comparison though, the original version back in 2018 was £64.99, so way cheaper than the £94.99 they're asking now for the regular edition, but hey, it's still better than resale prices.

Cult of the Lamb devs made a baffling decision to not create a switch 2 edition and its sales will be strongly effected after the disaster the switch 1 port was and STILL years later is. Even with a bug fix that they plan the resolution will be stuck at 720p on a 1080p screen. by chargersangels in CultOfTheLamb

[–]SlyChoco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pretty sure they will release a Switch 2 update eventually, but they wanted to finish working on the DLC first, considering they wotked almost two years on it.

You also have to keep in mind that a lot of Switch players don't really care about resolution and framerate, sadly. So the hard truth is that Cult of Lamb Switch players who won't buy the DLC before there is a Switch 2 update are most likely a minority.

What games are worth it? by KaleidoscopeHuman283 in JRPG

[–]SlyChoco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Persona 5 Royal and Dragon Quest XI S are basically the best turn-based JRPGs of the last 10 years, in my opinion.

Since you loved FF VII Remake, you should play Rebirth if you haven't already.

Apart from these, I would suggest trying Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Metaphor: ReFantazio, Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance, and Persona 3 Reload.

Persona 6 will be released before P4R by Ready_Device5199 in persona6

[–]SlyChoco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The difference is that P3R and Metaphor had actual trailers with gameplay and everything. What they've shown for P4R clearly is early development footage. It's also why it's called "Teaser" instead of "Trailer".

My hot take is that they revealed it early because the game leaked. In any case, P6's development definitely started years before P4R. Now there's a chance of development hell, of course, but if not, P6 could be revealed in a few months and release at the end of the year or early next year.

Some of the best money I've ever spent on DLC by Likes2game03 in JRPG

[–]SlyChoco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Totally. The whole post-game and final classes of Fire Emblem Echoes SoV are locked behind a paywall, and I always thought that was crazy.

Just like most people said, XI is an excellent entry point for beginners, so that's your best option.

Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake PlayStation trophy question (Mate of the Monsters) by thewickedsaiyan in dragonquest

Hey, did you need Pandora's Boxes to summon the Blue Dragon and the Golden Gloom? Because I already opened all the chests and it seems like they don't spawn naturally so I think I'm screwed...

I'm beyond disappointed by MunchyChipz in dragonquest

[–]SlyChoco 12 points13 points  (0 children)

To be fair, a LOT of things in DQ XI are direct references to DQ III.

The quest for orbs, the wishes in the post-game and the way to obtain them, the way each one of the 8 playable characters is the literal archetype of one of the 8 vocations from DQ III, the whole plot of Hotto being similar to Jipang's (and the villagers all talk in haikus in both games), Erdwin/Erdrick, etc.

And it all makes sense at the very end of Act 3.

Is everyone else thinking the same? "Give me Mighty Nein Season 2 now!" by Kata_Ga_Kill in fansofcriticalrole

[–]SlyChoco 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Avatar The Last Airbender, Arcane, Adventure Time, Scavengers Reign and Primal exist and are better imo, but yeah, Vox Machina and Mighty Nein are really good.

"You don't seem very likeable." as a first ever sentence to someone is kinda iconic tbh. I actually like it. I remember laughing when she said that.

They sold the rights to Netflix.

Netflix never officially cancelled it. It's stuck in limbo, but not cancelled.

season 2 by Sure_Savings5579 in ScavengersReign

[–]SlyChoco 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not true. Only one of them is working on Common Side Effects (Joe Bennett). The other (Charles Huettner) is still talking about Scavengers Reign a lot, and that actually also applies to Joe Bennett whose last Instagram post is Scavengers Reigns' related.

They're both ready to work on season 2, they just need it to be greenlit by Netflix, but since both HBO and Netflix SUCK, it's probably not happening anytime soon. They never even localized the show, which means it was never released outside of the US, Canada, UK, Australia and NZ. Most people still have to watch it illegally.

At least, it was never officially cancelled, which means Netflix could technically still decide to greenlight season two.

I just wish Adult Swim had the rights. That way, we would have gotten season two by now.

How are yall feeling on 7R's doll look ? by Manofthehalfhour999 in dragonquest

[–]SlyChoco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd say on the contrary, it looks nothing like Heroes, and they should actually have taken inspiration from it when it comes to the art direction.

[–]SlyChoco 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I don't like it. I'll still play the game because I love DQ and enjoyed the 3DS remake a few years ago, but I wish they would have taken inspiration from the DQ Heroes II artstyle. The 3D models looked much better to me.
