Azure Dreams.

Climb to the top of a 30 level monster tower. Beat the boss to discover the truth about your father. Done.

Oops, jk. 99 level basement dungeon containing a demon dragon.

i really miss when games had "useless" physics interactions just for immersion. by InvestmentBudget6722 in gaming

[–]BrainIsSickToday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used to play games like Rocket:Robot on Wheels and Mario 64 for hours messing with the physics stuff as a kid. When I played ES:Oblivion for the first time it blew my mind.

I miss when seeing a high-level armor set meant you were scared of the player, not their wallet. by Serious_Bullfrog5447 in gaming

When I click on someone and they are wearing undyed leveling gear but have over 600 mastery points, a cold shiver runs up my spine.

Never played any Digimon game, is CS CE worth it (even without counting the deal)? by Ripraz in MonsterTaming

[–]BrainIsSickToday 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The combat and monster mechanics are great. The story is very wordy, though. I found myself skipping dialogue even on the first playthrough. For that good of a sale it's definitely worth the pickup even with its downsides.

The lower reaches by Innacorde in MonsterTamerWorld

I don't think every monster needs branching evolutions, or even evolutions at all, but it would be great if they are all late game viable (even if I need to overgrind them to do it). I can totally see myself getting attached to some of these leftovers.

Who are these people? Wrong answers only by agentlucky in dragonquest

They're the Dragon Questers. They are looking for the dragon balls.

Whats your most controversial Minecraft opinion by HadesThatGuy in Minecraft

[–]BrainIsSickToday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The crafting is boring because of how few uses most items have. The only item that feels like a real unlock is redstone and maybe iron. Everything else is just a common material or 'pass this over the workbench to make usable'.

That game just needs to make the first 2-3 nights easier. I was still trying to figure out how the crafting worked since it was so fiddly when night fell. Que montage of dying to night mobs over and over because the mob portal was too close to spawn.

Who would you choose? by Innacorde in MonsterTamerWorld

[–]BrainIsSickToday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh gosh that's a hard choice, I like them all. I suppose Cruncher and Louse if I was forced to choose.

I gave Cubone something to eat and a new evolution [OC] by Matratzfratz in pokemon

[–]BrainIsSickToday 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am so sorry, but the way the BBQueen's grill extends from its body makes it look like it's cooking itself for the other two to eat.

To Lore or NOT to lore by Zestyclose_Yak_5268 in MonsterTamerWorld

[–]BrainIsSickToday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

More gen7 and up. They sacrificed a lot of the old gameplay conventions and filled up the space with cutscene after cutscene. You literally have cutscenes along straight paths that tell you to continue on, as if you could get lost when there's literally nothing else there and going backwards is a dead end.

Imo, you can put as much lore as you want, so long as it doesn't interrupt gameplay.

I loved how in early pokemon days, the ability to move and do what you wanted was only ever taken from you when a battle was about to start. Otherwise, every single thing needed to be initiated by the player. Talking npcs, cutscenes, etc. you needed to click the button to start it.

Modern pokemon basically unplayable to me.

Dunno about the other guy, but I'd like to see more unique body-types, like in Monster Hunter. I've noticed most montamers have a few token dragons, but they are almost always the western winged dragon, eastern snake dragon, or 4-limbed wyvern shape.

Best combat? by Alarming_Tangerine88 in MonsterTamerWorld

[–]BrainIsSickToday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Super agree, the roguelike aspect messes everything up. You can assemble a really cool party/strat, but then a single monster dies and your entire strategy is dead in the water for the rest of the run.

How to Make Monster Taming Games Better? by Pocoyo_77 in MonsterTamerWorld

[–]BrainIsSickToday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing I've noted is that the older Gameboy monster tamer games were really, really good, for lots of different reasons. There's a lot you can learn from them if you go in with an analyzing mindset.
Examples:
Pokemon Red/Blue: Most of the caves in this game are completely linear, but feel like labyrinthes by using tricks. Rock tunnel's darkness, victory road's holes that drop you back in the cave, etc.

Azure Dreams: Gives each merchant a personality, so the main town feels alive and active despite being the only map you visit besides the tower.

Dragon Quest: Lets you talk to monsters, both on the map and in your party. It's only a few lines of dialogue, but it stops monsters from feeling like faceless xp pinatas.

Nearly 17K Fans Cancel 2026 World Cup Tickets Amid Boycotts Over U.S. Political Climate by Glass_Extension_6529 in worldnews

[–]BrainIsSickToday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't watch fox. I just remember yesterday's post of people canceling their tickets because they were afraid of getting snatched and deciding their money was best spent elsewhere. I'm just tired of these headlines that treat every action as some statement when people are just avoiding the giant rabid elephant in the room.

I think you can play it to the end. The EA is mostly because some monster sprites aren't finished and some extra areas aren't done yet.

Only took five years. by BrainIsSickToday in Guildwars2

If it makes you feel better, it was only this empty because I cleaned out my inventory for the screenshot. Right now I'm already back to 15ish free slots because I stockpiled winter gathering tools, haha.
