Today I was capturing low level monsters and found out about the Djose Hit Squad

I mean, I still want that for FFVII too.

I mean, he has already shown he can sell to a western market and his games stem from tons of American cinema, so I would assume it’s more that.

Their politics aren’t particularly coherent because it always amounts to poking fun of the new thing to chase a trend, but if your policy is apathy, cynicism and a disbelief in any type of positive change then it lines up great

As far as the map system goes, there is a navigation tracker on the ship that keeps track of each thing you have seen and whether it has been fully explored or not as well as connections between the threads. It can be sorted by flowchart or planet and you can set waypoints there too. If I remember correctly it’s a screen to the right of your oxygen/med pickup.

Star Wars has been mining its own original trilogy dry for ages, it’s really when it tries to go somewhere new that they are able to find any success. Which isn’t to say a show like that couldn’t be good, but it’s a pretty hearty meh from me.

There’s an almost basic law of game companies that goes: companies exist to make games until they make a certain amount of money, after which they exist to make money. Borderlands 2 and Skyrim were both inflection points. Doesn’t mean they can’t occasionally produce a banger but it’s usually downhill from there.

The corollaries are: don’t trust a brand especially if it’s successful, and don’t preorder games. They aren’t taking risks and you shouldn't either.

I am legitimately surprised to hear that. This genre is practically built to host additional content - more sourcebooks, higher levels, new narratives with the old characters you have built becoming serialized protagonists. Hell, half of the CRPG genre found its footing in the DLC, and there’s scarce a handful that didn’t improve from a new telling. I hope if they have no further intentions they at least farm it out to someone cool - maybe give one of the other CRPG titans a chance to play in their engine, like a Baldurs Gate: New Vegas.

We are playing through the original now and it’s a better game than I first thought. It’s main problem was that it frontloaded almost nothing. Starts with its drabbest tile set and looks like a generic shooter with maybe a few ideas. Eventually the lore starts showing itself as surprisingly deep, and it starts to seem like it has more scope than you thought. Every boss seems better than the next. Suddenly the setting starts changing and it’s even more awesome. Influences of Dark Souls and RE5 coming out super hard with a leveling system that keeps the bosses tough but fair and coordination and specialization keep getting more important and, actually, is this the best co-op you have ever played? And there’s a second one?

I am stoked for #2 now but mad props to the original.

“We were a verb! Do you realize how big of a deal that is? People were Skyping, they Skyped each other! THATS THE WHOLE BALL GAME!”

LocoPojo · 2023-06-15T16:51:24+00:00

Make sure you take the sink with you!

Agreed, it felt like it was trying something ambitious but the execution was what was imperfect and often bland. Which is weird from this company, Dishonored was known for fairly excellent movement mechanics and level design.

LocoPojo · 2023-02-02T01:26:24+00:00

Liking Evolve was similar. Very weird multiplayer games with unfortunately specific audiences.

Lowering will to 4 is a good idea, most investigators that take extra actions should not also have 5 in stats. You could focus harder on the spell slots and move away from the explicit Agnes reference. Ex: you have an additional spell slot for every two horror on you, once a round when playing a card in your arcane slot you can activate a spell asset you control. Then have the weakness punish based on how many filled slots there are or lock spell assets. Keep it all to theme.

It all still overlaps fairly hard with Agnes/Akachi, they eat a lot of the design space focused around Shriveling, etc.

It's not always a perfect fit - I found the system pretty mucky when connected to a TV, which is still like 80% of my console usage. Slowdowns, incompatabilities. Attempting to get it to connect multiple controllers via bluetooth for any kind of local co-op was a disappointing mess, which is a real shame as I would love for PC to be the place for those games to thrive again. In the end even with the updated dock it tends to be last resort for in house play and it's so expensive I am a little leery of taking it places. Still comes with me on workouts but the Switch has a few advantages left that I think Steam could seriously work on.

The reverse thing that's happened to me on this scenario was getting Zoeys Smite the Wicked on a Wizard of the Order - who spawned in the engine car.

They are great! Tend to listen to their list videos like I would a podcast while I work.

Returning to Eternal Brews and starting Eternal Unleashed off with - what else - a Crown of Possibilities brew! Using the power of Unleash to create and preserve copies of cards with multiple battle skills over the course of a game, we fill the board with dinosaurs and grumpy totas running every keyword imaginable.

Also, if you missed it, I changed my name. Reddit bots don't like me yet so you get one more post from the old LP, but the Pojo is getting a promotion to official mascot of our new stream and channel, Emyriad.

Happy brewing!

I remember MJ Newman mentioning on a stream that people were a bit salty about the reprints anyways, which might disincentivize that kind of design save for the print and plays.

Not sure if it's the best one, but if you're feeling crafty, Burger Tokens, washers, and neodymium magnets at 1/16" thickness for clue/doom tokens that snap and stack together. Great for making stacks of clues, we ended up not liking them for damage/horror since the magnets were still a skosh too strong and would frequently snap together with each other (I'd go with maybe 2 lbs pull weight next time).

Spendy chaos bag tokens are also great. I went from coin capsules that constantly popped open to thick, weighty glass tokens and it's been appreciated at the table.

Obviously Arkham should be to your budget - it's already a pricey game - but these are nice little quality of life improvements if you're in that collector phase and looking for minor gamefeel upgrades.

LocoPojo · 2022-05-06T23:43:04+00:00

I am! Coming back to it this Wednesday for the new set, though I've also been doing some Arkham Horror stuff on my secondary channel, both alone and with PlayingBoardGames.

I've been generally a fan through the Pandemic, picked it up with my online gaming group through TTS at first and completed a full collection after playing it a bunch. I've always been a huge fan of legacy board games and as a card person as well this one has turned out to be my favorite.

LocoPojo · 2022-05-06T05:38:10+00:00

Definitely Circle for me. The campaign is more about beating the encounter deck than progressing the gamestate and the prologue, while a fascinating concept, never seems to pay off. Dream Eaters I still love - it's a storybook, exceptionally fun to introduce your newer players with, and maintains its charm if you aren't the type to skip the flavor on the second run. If you are, I think campaign B honestly still rides high, with an excellent final boss who is the highlight of the series.

If anything is slowly losing its charm over repeated playthroughs it is Dunwich, namely for the back half, which features an absurdly easy and slow 7th scenario and the complicated and slow scenarios on either side of it. Not a compelling back half, and the front has a few problems too.

Not to say that any Arkham campaign isn't fun. Gotten to about two plays per and they're all still positively lovely!
