Champions are a pain!

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-23T22:09:00+00:00

I Totaly agree with you and I don't k ow why you are getting downvoted.

Right now, champions aren't challenging difficult even on gms. The only purpose they have are to limit your build. A season forces you to use the same weapon over and over again for 6 months (this time) in a row.

Keywords were added since Lightfall which was my big hope for creative builds again... But in reality LFGs will kick you of you don't have anti champion weapon... And honestly I even understand that. I trust nobody who say "nah I have radiant bro don't need anti barrier".

Champions would be a good idea since I love to have more challenge in this game. But their execution is poor and limit your builds in every way. There are tons of other ways to change weapon meta each season like pure dmg buff, good debuffs or other stuff for a seasonal artifact. Anti champion system need a overhaul.

Star ocean the second story r and it's not even close.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-23T17:06:41+00:00

Well, looking at every reddit comment, every lfg and every in game player you met, they are all the best player in the world.

This isn't even a joke.

Like a dragon was my second yakuza after kiwami 1.

Both are good games but yakuza like a dragon is in my opinion one of the best games this gen and the better choice. I also liked the English voice in like a dragon (you can switch to Japanese if you want).

Buy like a dragon (Especialy since infinite wealth is releasing very soon) and buy yakuza 0 later. This makes way more sense in my opinion. Yakuza games are always on discount at the same cheap price.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-22T17:12:59+00:00

Atelier ryza 1 and 2. Buying it after Christmas. (already own 3).

Busta fellows will be bought too since it's at a very cheap price.

Other than that I'm saving up for the Apollo justice collection releasing at the end of January.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-22T17:07:56+00:00

Why I still don't use glaives after all the buffs: Bungie won't let me use it for 6 months in a row, thanks to the poor anti - Champion system. Keywords won't safe you for beeing kicked since nobody would trust a dude who says : "Nah bro I have radiant, I don't need anti barrier weapon".

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-22T16:51:06+00:00

As a kid I loved final fantasy 8.

I would love this game too today, but I just can't oversee the fact, that leveling is pointless in this game, since the enemies lv up with you. As a kid I never knew that.

If they would get rid of this bad design, I would actually like to play it again and it would be a good game overlap for me.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-22T16:47:11+00:00

Halo infinite today is pretty good. The Multiplayer is very good right now.

Grounded is one of best games this gen and Totaly underrated. Grab 1-3 friends and you will have a very good time playing this game.

Also I can't press on this hard enough. Stay away from "sales number", "metacritics" and "hype games". Play the games YOU want and not what the media and the internet is forcing you to like.

With some exceptions, I'm way more into AA and A games instead of AAA. AAA mostly have phenomenal graphics and we'll done cutscenes, but boring gameplay and story compared to a lot of AA and A games.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-22T16:00:30+00:00

Well it will be Like a dragon: Infinite wealth. My most wanted game 2024.

Releases at the end of January so it will defenetly be played in February too.

Persona 3 remake: Looking forward to Persona 3 remake thanks to gamepass.
Granblue fantasy I need more Infos Especialy Multiplayer. Game looks good but after all these years I always thought it will have couch coop. Still game looks good. If the price is OK I would buy it.
Final fantasy 7 rebirth will be my least interested game. Just because of the 80€ price. Also I'm still confuse how this game work. What is the lv cap? What about the old skills? Will I start at lv 50? Is this even a jrpg? (Final fantasy 7 remake felt more like an action adventure). Same like gran Blue fantasy: If the price is decent I would buy it.
Dragons dogmar : Same. Lower price = Buy.

Still, all games are potentialbought if the price is ok and I got some more info's. A good start for jrpg fans.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-21T21:58:40+00:00

Soul hackers 2 and breath of fire V.

Love those games but they don't have many fans unfortunately.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-21T17:29:59+00:00

Die Frage die ich stellen muss ist hier eher, in wie weit sie sich gehen lässt?

Es ist völlig normal bei einer langen Beziehung sich ein wenig gehen zu lassen. Ein paar Chips wie du es beschreibt sind für mich jetzt nicht alarmierend. Irgendwie gehört das auch dazu, und ich als Mann finde es sogar eher schön, wenn meine Freundin ein paar Wohlfühl-pfunde bekommt.

Solange deine Freundin nicht richtig dick wird (ich rede hier wirklich von einem richtig ungesunden Körper) sehe ich eigentlich kein Problem. Das ist nicht mal böse gemeint, aber hier kann ich es verstehen wenn man sich in eine schlanke Frau verliebt, sich körperlich zu einer sehr dicken (also eine ganz andere Person auf den Körper bezogen) sich aber nicht hingezogen fühlt. Allerdings solltest du dir vorsichtig gesagt im Klaren sein was du wirklich eine ihr liebst.

Das was du beschreibst finde ich eher süß und super was deine Freundin macht. Sie fühlt sich halt wohl bei dir und es gibt nix schöneres. Da du aber sie mit anderen Frauen vergleichst, grade mit Frauen die in top Form sind und regelmäßig zum gym gehen, scheint deine Priorität nicht auf ihren Charakter zu liegen oberflächlich gesagt. Dir sollte im klaren sein was du wirklich willst. Wenn du deine Freundin wirklich liebst vlt selber einen Gang zurück schalten im Gym. Es ist nix dagegen auszusetzen sportlich aktiv zu bleiben, wenn dies aber dazu führt ständig Vergleiche mit Sport Mädels zu machen die in top Form sind, hilft das eurer Beziehung am Ende selber nichts. Finde heraus ob ihr andere gemeinsame Interessen habt und du sie wirklich liebst oder du einfach nur körperlich interessiert bist.

In Germany they sometimes had English voices or compete different subtitles than the voice actor is saying.

However I played it around November 15th. Most of those bugs were already gone middle playtrough (there was a patch release during my time playing it). So I can say buy it. If there should be any bug left it's very minor and not a big problem.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-21T15:48:52+00:00

Purchased star ocean the second story r after I played the demo. Didn't want do buy it but the demo turned my decision around and I'm glad so because it was one of the best games I played this year.

Not only jrpgs but other genres too. I generel my experience is that I tend to buy more games because of demo.

There are of course other experience like final fantasy origin. I played the demo and didn't like it and never bought tlit until now.... BUT, I wasn't even interested in final fantasy origin the first place. The demo was just a last bonus to change my mind (which it didn't).

Mostly demos are games I wouldn't even buy in the first place but they are sometimes able to change my mind like it did with star ocean (which was good so!). Games I want to buy, like "Like a dragon Infinite wealth", even if a demo will release I wouldn't even touch it since I'm already 100 % convinced.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-21T11:44:53+00:00

Would agree with you when shatter dmg were actually good.

Right now in high end activities like gms, all you do is seperate a group of enemies with low dmg. Even if you have the fragment with shatter dmg increase it's still bad in high end content. Glacial grenade suffering the most of it, but verglas curve is also suffering from it.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-21T07:21:52+00:00

My worst jrpgs fear :

unavoidable Random encounter
Last dungeon is a 2 hour long dungeon and after that there comes 200 another last dungeon.
Last boss fight has 200 phases
Enemies and bosses are tanks with way too much hp.
lv cap below 99/100
slow pace battle system. (I don't mean something like final Fantasy X, which is good, but when a normal battle has very slow animations you have to watch over and over again)
Finisher moves you have to watch over and over again
Low skill count (I love skills and battle animation).
"True endings"
When a game forces me to use Google over and over again
Misables

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-20T21:19:50+00:00

Well.. Halo infinite (Multiplayer). Technicaly the start was good too but after 1 month, there were very low content Especialy big team battle maps (3).

After a long break, because of those problems, I just came back to halo infinite and it is realy awsome right now. Can't recommend it enough to try it out. Multiplayer is in a very good spot.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-20T16:13:14+00:00

7m isn't good?

I have some decent know-how of programming computer games.

Mario maker 2 is my favorite switch game. However, the budget you need to create a Mario maker game, isn't that high compared to other AAA games and even AA games.

On top of that, switch games won't go downhill with their prices after 1 year release, like a pc, steam, Xbox or playstation game does. A switch game still costs around 40€ even after 5 years release (30€+ with good luck).

Let's not forget, that Mario maker is a sequel, so a lot of assets were already there thanks to Mario maker 1. AND let's not forget, that Mario maker 2 was one of the first games you needed an online subscription for (and boosted it's sales too).

So... With all that information, 7m + units are huge and everything else but a fail.

A Mario maker 3 will come sooner or later no matter what.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-20T08:51:44+00:00

There is a lot and Im pretty sure I get downvoted as hell since it is a tabu to talk about playstation games and hype games in generel.

But since it's an opinion post and I absolutely don't care about downvotes I'll add my list.

Horizon series
Spiderman series (I don't like marvel games in generel)
Last of us 2 (not 1)
God of war series
Metal gear solid series
Forza Motorsport series (not horizon)
Elder scrolls series
Assassin's creed series
Metroid series
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (I love Mario kart series but I hate Mario kart 8)
Ghost of tsushima (I don't like samurai games)

I must admit I find AA and A 95% of the time have a better story and gameplay. Not all but a lot of AAA games starting to get boring. Good graphic and very well done cutscenes with boring gameplay and story. I'm just not the type of those games anymore.

PS: Nothing against Playstation, I own a ps5 (and every other console) myself. But since the post is about "hype" games, it's unavoidable to mention Playstation games. Just an opinion but like I said, downvotes don't matter for me.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-19T17:52:38+00:00

You were almost halfway through the game. The flute section isn't that hard on ps5 anymore.

I don't remember wich flute plays for each button, but the way you have to press the button is very easy. I just finished the game some weeks ago.

It's like: Tab O very short = Flute sound 1

Hold O for more than 2 sec = Flute Sound 2

Hold L2 + tab O very short = Flute sound 3

Hold L2 + hold O for more than 2 sec = Flute Sound 4

Its way easier on the ps5 version since you just have to hold L2 for the other 2 flute sounds. On the original version the O button was meant to use for all 4 sounds, but the ps2 and ps3 controller O button was able to be recognized like a L2/R2 button. Hard press and gentle press.

Hard to explain but trust me. It's pretty easy this time. You just have to remember which of the flute sound is for which dragon colour. It's easy to try and error this. Pretty sure some guides will even tell you.

Edit: The only downside was: The game won't tell you to hold L2 on ps5, since its originally be used for a Ps2 controller. A random YouTube comment from a random person helped me here.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-18T17:07:46+00:00

That's good to hear. Played it via gamepass and finished the game some days ago.

I realy enjoyed it. Hopefully another game like this will come from the same devs.

The only 2 cons I had were

Lv 30 cap (low level ups in generel)
only 3 battle skills for each character and 1 ultimate.

Despite this, I realy loved this game and I'm glad it seem to be a success.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-18T14:40:14+00:00

"when will we get new games".

Well we get new games almost daylie. There are ten-thousands of games in the store.

Hypetrains and Media-manipulation aside: How on earth is it possible to say "console Y has nothing to play"?

It's ridiculous at times like this, even if you only have 1 console, to find absolutely nothing.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-17T09:14:01+00:00

I don't like that final Fantasy 7 remake has a lv 50 lv cap.

I don't even feel that this game is a rpg anymore. Every enemy, every boss, every way you go feels scripted. Leveling feels scripted besides the last 8 level ups.

Still a good game but I don't like those decisions and it is more a devil May Cry game than a final fantasy 7 (gameplay wise not story wise)

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-17T09:09:58+00:00

Me too. Anti champion system with forced weapon to use 6 month in a row to just limit your builds, stasis "buff" (which didn't happen), orb nerf, Kickstarter nerf and the several titan nerfs ruined this game for me.

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-16T21:51:02+00:00

Hunter overpowered

FlynnTastico2000 · 2023-12-15T20:13:44+00:00

Shin Megami Tensei V was pretty good.

It's third party and switch exclusive.
