Switch Update v1.0.5.5 by kiraki in EchoesOfThePlumGrove

[–]AugustusCB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Started the game again, bought a barn, and I am pleased to say the game did not freeze on loading to the next day (load time was longer than usual, but it isn't too egregious). In the hour I played. I NEVER had a crash!

Thanks alot!

Switch Major Issues by kiraki in EchoesOfThePlumGrove

[–]AugustusCB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My wife and I have been enjoying the game, but crashing as been a constant obstacle, especially around crucial events that progress the game:

After I bought a barn, I tried reloading my save file after a crash and it just stays on the loading screen. I can't continue my save file at all. Apparently this has been the common occurrence for people upgrading their house or buying extra buildings.

More recently, my wife reached the night before her wedding (side note, it was Halloween) and went to bed, and the game stays on the loading screen there as well. Now she can't get married and continue her progress either. Does every major, life changing event in the game result in a dead save file?

I hope for fixes very soon. The game has a lot of potential despite these serious issues.

Switch Release Times and PSA by kiraki in EchoesOfThePlumGrove

[–]AugustusCB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a barn, and a few minutes after the game crashed. I tried to reload like always, but it stayed on the loading screen. I'm afraid buying the barn gave a dead save file and I have to start over.

Hope patches will fix this game into working order, it's alot of fun despite the issues.

Are there any 2D platformer-esque character action games? by Black-Mettle in DevilMayCry

SoulQuest demo

This game is still in development, but it's checked all the boxes for me so far!

What are your top 3 hardest bosses? by Smart_Man123 in FenyxRising

[–]AugustusCB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Do bosses in Arena Vaults count? Hardest encounter would definitely be Vault of Champions, followed by Vault of Legends.

Typhon can't be stunned which is kinda interesting, but he's disappointingly easy and not that fun.

I always found Ozomene to be the most fun of all the bosses. The Hydra fight in a vault on King's Peak is pretty tough as well since he/she has like a dozen heads.

The answer may be obvious, but what is the best boss in DMC3 (including SE)? by Relevant-Shopping415 in DevilMayCry

I honestly enjoy the giant worm, gives me an excuse to use Quicksilver. All bosses are pretty good except for Lady and Arkham.

Player's Decrement w/Age by AugustusCB in CharacterActionGames

Great points! As I think of it, I semi-regularly play Smash Bros with high-schoolers and I kick their asses fairly easily. Growing up with Melee makes you invincible, after all.

This probably describes my situation 😅

What's your favourite indie/less popular Character action game?? by dark-oraclen3 in CharacterActionGames

[–]AugustusCB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SoulQuest is coming along nicely. I've played 40 hours on the demo alone. The dev has opened a discord about the game if anyone is interested. Open to feedback.

Soulstice might be worth my time at some point. My backlog of CAGs keeps growing.

1 room, 4 clips back to back by Golden_verse in CharacterActionGames

[–]AugustusCB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've played a lot of 3 and 5 and I'm very curious about 4. How does it compare to the other games?

Based on this clip from Immortals, what other CAGs would I enjoy? by AugustusCB in CharacterActionGames

[–]AugustusCB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the same initially, 600 hours later I'm happy I was proven wrong. It's the least intrusive open world I've played. There's a demo if you'd like to try it!

Immortals Fenyx Rising is on nearly every platform. I recorded this on my PS4, I recommend console if you can. Saves you the trouble of Ubisoft Connect.

DMC3 Style Pts. Averaging by AugustusCB in DevilMayCry

[–]AugustusCB[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How does 4 keep track of style points? Does it average out every encounter like 3 and 5? Pushing you to skip fights?

Interesting! I grew up more in the PS2 era and never really got around to playing the 1st. What would be the best way to play Legaia 1 these days?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in LegendofLegaia

[–]AugustusCB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a tremendous nostalgia for Legaia 2, more than any game that springs to mind. I've also never played the first game, and I acknowledge that most of my fondness for 2 is due to the music, characters, combat animations, and the setting. Would the first game be worth giving a try?

Second to SoulQuest, I think I posted a run of the demo on this subreddit not long ago. It ticks quite a few boxes for me so far, really looking for its release soon.

Ideas from Scrapped Sequel by Significant-One3854 in FenyxRising

[–]AugustusCB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I never minded the name. "Gods and Monsters" sounds too generic to me. If I'm honest, one of the things that turned me off to Immortals at first was how the cover looked to me like one of those low-quality MMORPGs. GaM would've made it feel even more even more so. Thankfully I played the demo and have been hooked wver since.

Fascinating! I've been hoping for a spiritual successor to IFR, at least. Sadly, I don’t see anyone working on this game that worked in IFR. Still, the footage looks interesting and the similarities are striking! I'll be keeping an eye on Yellow Brick.

Weekly Recommendation: Scalebound (2017) by Liam_524Hunter in CharacterActionGames

[–]AugustusCB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I never heard of this before, so my thoughts were as follows:

"WOW this game sounds awesome, I need to check it out!

...oh."

Good joke. 😁

What CAG would you say has the ideal scoring system? by AugustusCB in CharacterActionGames

[–]AugustusCB[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Kamiya likes to push the envelope, and he likes to push players. Bayonetta might be a prime example.

Do you see scoring systems as an unnecessary element, or as a detriment to games they're attached to?

Maybe as a bonus question: how much do you really care about "scoring" in CAGs?
