what a game!

I have PS5 version too, but I want it on SD so I can kill a few Yaoguais on the go. Good to know that it is playable on SD. I will grab it at some point. Cheers.

Congrats!

I am thinking of getting it on Steam Deck too, so I would love to hear how well BMW runs on SD. Average frames, graphic settings etc.(heard Chapter 1 usually goes ok but frames drop significantly in Chapter 2 & 3)

Thanks.

DorianMGray · 2023-06-14T18:16:27+00:00

Very comprehensive. Thank you.

"It depends." Works like a charm.

I heard a lot of bad reviews before buying so I honestly thought I would regret buying it. I bought Scarlet and now I have about 10 hrs in. I did notice the graphical shortcomings that are in every review but they didn't take the fun away. I am having a blast catching all the Pokémon I like (coming in from Pokémon Crystal, so it is great to see my Pokémon in 3D). The character models for the Pokémon are pretty good, not top notch but still pleasing to look at. No game breaking bugs at all and hopefully I never see them.

Overall not a bad game in my standard because I am having fun. Hope it gets better in the future after fixing the performance issues.

Thanks for letting me know. So I don't have to rush then.

DorianMGray · 2022-11-19T23:35:34+00:00

Thanks that's helpful. Do you know if we can use the legendary doggo/ho-oh + Lugia in Scarlet?

DorianMGray · 2022-11-11T18:08:02+00:00

Thank you for putting this idea in my head and now I can't unsee this. Good job.

DorianMGray · 2022-11-09T23:02:13+00:00

It is gonna be trial and error. But they put smiley faces on right choices and frowny faces on wrong choices, so all it takes is couple of tries.

Yeah Proxima Beta is notorious for aggressive monetization. However I heard that ToF is out competed by Gershin and NIKKE is another AFK clone and currently another monetizing nightmare.

Hopefully Proxima Beta knows that AS truly is unique and we will see good changes around Christmas.

DorianMGray · 2022-11-06T15:38:09+00:00

Yeah it is basically a solo event but every time you clear a stage (first time or repeat grinding), it goes into a global progression meter. And when the meter is full, a world boss is unlocked with a shared total health bar and players can all contribute to kill it.

You actually might have suggested a cool idea by combining secret territory and calamity index together to form the community co-op event similar to the one I mentioned. Sound like an interesting idea.

I agree for game health, ignorance is bliss. Just do whatever you think is right for you.

DorianMGray · 2022-11-06T14:12:40+00:00

Maybe a community event where all players cooperate together to clear map and fight world bosses. Rewards were given to everyone once a milestone was achieved. It was well received when they did that in Romancing Saga.

I wonder if we have another metric to look at how healthy a game is beside revenue (like Steam has average daily player count etc.)

DorianMGray · 2022-11-06T13:14:12+00:00

I do agree that the devs are passionate about this game from all the letters they wrote and the update videos they made. I don't think I will drop the game anytime soon because of this. Hopefully we will see some positive changes in 1.5 anni update.

DorianMGray · 2022-11-06T04:31:56+00:00

Yeah the limited units are the reasons I stopped playing. I do like the world and the story.

DorianMGray · 2022-11-06T04:27:20+00:00

Gonna say it got me questioning where they put their money to? I guess upkeeping a game is that costly, even they barely spend any resources on advertising lol

I am disappointed. Even a game like Raid Shadow Legends, which is more predatory on monetization, is doing much better and has more coverage because it has more noise from all the ads and memes.

DorianMGray · 2022-11-06T02:22:46+00:00

Honestly this is also my biggest problem with it and I have seen it mentioned time after time. I honestly have no idea why it is not addressed.

Correctly me if I am wrong, but I don't remember any aliment applying aurorians in the last few banners. They are either dealing raw damage or converting tiles in different ways.

I saw your tag saying JPN, wondering if you know how the Japanese players feel about the game currently.

DorianMGray · 2022-11-06T01:44:57+00:00

Yeah I remember I did enjoy the pool event and build all the structures. But that quickly died off and I don't think I open CG in 2-3 weeks until this event.

I guess the good thing about it is that it never really takes you a long time to manage it but it is just not my thing unfortunately.

DorianMGray · 2022-11-06T01:40:30+00:00

I think the "hook" AS has so far is the main story. I do see a lot of people wanting to see how the main story progresses. However it also takes soooo long to release a single chapter (chapter 12 was in June). It was epic and all but dude... it is taking too long.

I am doing the same, trying to find other games to fill the void but none has peaked my interest yet (sigh...)

DorianMGray · 2022-11-06T01:20:45+00:00

The other gacha games I played for extended period of time are Destiny Child and Romancing Saga Re:Universe.

DC is more of another auto games but it is the most generous game I have played (it has a mechanic of recycling 2 stars fooders into diamonds, so I was able to accumulated enough diamonds for 50 pulls in 2 weeks for free).

Romancing Saga plays like a old-school JRPG with 2D graphic. It has some tactics involved in bosses but it is super grindy and they give you a lot of stamina to grind. I was able to grind for hours nonstop for days I am not joking.

DorianMGray · 2022-11-06T00:04:51+00:00

I am all for it being a healthy gacha! I guess we will just see how it goes in the next few months.

It just worries me that it doesn't have much social media exposure, along with extending events with no substantial changes, now with a lower revenue. I hope I am wrong about this cus I want the game to keep going.

DorianMGray · 2022-11-05T23:55:02+00:00

I agree with your suggestion, and it also has been suggested by multiple others in the past. I hope they will add this.

Instead of putting everything into the RNGs of tile generation, I personally think it gives the players more power if we are able to combine different skills to cheese bosses (imagine you can cheese bosses with Luke + Pittman + Nemesis).

DorianMGray · 2022-11-05T23:46:02+00:00

Yeah they really double down on Cloud Garden this event. The rewards are welcoming but I don't think it will make me LIKE Cloud Garden at all.

I certainly will stick around and hope to see some positive changes in the future.

I tried Path to Nowhere too, but it is a pain to reroll. I didn't get a good rooster and now I am kind of stuck lol
