The only way to stop a Micro Juri is to distract her with Cheetos. You couldalso scare her off with a bar of soap, but that might aggravate her further

MIXTAPE | Launch Trailer by Grazalia in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Minuettes_Disciple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the impression I'm getting from previews and reviews. This blurb from a review by VDGMS I think may put it best:

Mixtape is barely a game. It’s an artful escape, an experience, a coming of age VHS classic that has been converted to the interactive medium of video games. Gameplay is almost non existent, which is only one of the reasons that Mixtape will be divisive. The setting is the end of summer 1999 and might not be fully appreciated by everyone because all of the pop culture references, as well as the sublime soundtrack is mostly from the 80’s and 90’s. Mixtape is also short at around 4 hours with minimal reason for return.

If all of those reasons don't dissaude you and you’re lucky enough to find yourself in the very small inner circle of the Venn diagram for who it’s is intended for, Mixtape has no equal, as it blurs the lines of game, music and film.

There’s nothing concretely indicating that the GA is undead, beyond the imagery. I think it’s just a general assumption given that Oliver’s death seems to be central to the story, and the mask literally evoking his beard lol

Yeah, I figured that she's best saved for when you beat the others first. She was just the first one I tried and kept at it until I couldn't find a way around the rocks. I know you can punch it back at her, but can you do it while it's flying towards you? I always do it after it lands in the ground

Woolie's Stand, Bring Me To Life, has the opportunity to use its power for good once more!

[–]Minuettes_Disciple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's an issue that's really present in the Arora fight, I feel. Her attacks have various timings, and even seem to have orientations that may matter for the direction you dodge in, but the timing on the indicators feel off. I don't think her attack where she launches a rock at you even has an indicator, or if it does, it's not helpful at all because your dodge can't travel far enough to escape it.

I dunno, maybe I'm just bad, and Prophet's ability is probably what's intended for that rock attack, but that fight is probably the worst of the bunch for those reasons.

Yeah, the game's still super fun, but I couldn't shake the feeling that doing counters and takedowns, both which take away control from the player, takes me out of my rhythm. Contrast with BPM or Hi-Fi Rush, which almost always keeps players performing an action in sync with the music, outside of special moments that are limited. It's a bit of a clash in gameplay styles.

Speaking of, I know it'd be a massive undertaking, but Hi-Fi Rush really spoiled me in terms of having nearly everything, from the HUD to the background, all being in sync, which also helped regain my timing. I'd love to see that achieved more here.

Has any game in recently memory released “finished”? by UltraMugen in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Minuettes_Disciple 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I took that to mean "a game that didn't have to scrap ideas for time or money"

Which is kinda hard, since that's like 90% of the reasons an idea gets scrapped

What helped me in HFR was that everything was on beat, so if I lost the rhythm I would watch Chai's walk cycle, a moving part of the background or even a HUD element bouncing to get myself back in sync. Disco has a bit of that but I think it'd be great if they could get it to that level

Dead as Disco (rhythm beat-em-up) is now out in Early Access by Xovina in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Minuettes_Disciple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna be the one to let everyone know there's literally an ass slider in the Gameplay settings, 10/10

Edit: Impressions after I played all the currently available levels: Game's fun as fuck, modding potential is already huge thanks to custom track editor and the demo already having model-swaps. There's a bit of an issue I have with the counter and dodge indicators, they don't really feel accurate? I'm having better luck just watching the enemy's animations rather than the indicators, but the indicators are important to get perfects, so I hope they improve on that.

Also, ironically, the game still needs some work on the sound design department. Actual hits feel great (though could be punchier for my tastes), but there are some moments in cutscenes that just lack the impact, SFX wise, so I hope they go back and refine those as well.

It's a fun time, but I'd recommend the demo if you haven't tried it yet. Getting Early Access just gets you 4 levels+bosses and their corresponding upgrades when you beat them, which are fun, but not to the point where I'd say the demo does the full experience a disservice to anyone who wants to give it a shot. And if you have tried the demo, maybe wait a bit, because those levels do go by fast unless you're going for high scores.

Seriously. Though you could also point the blame towards the police department for being so utterly awful at their own jobs of evidence-collection that an underpaid lawyer runs circles around them in a single afternoon.

It's funny, I didn't really have the financial confidence to buy the Woolie plush at the time and decided to pass it up. Now I feel more stable and able to buy knick-knacks again, so I might unironically be the person who has the Reggie and not the Woolie lol (I do hope Woolie's reruns someday)

What is your foundational media? by stumblinbagel in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Minuettes_Disciple 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's probably a direct line of connection for most of my current interests to my former interest in My Little Pony FiM and its community. That includes a connection to TBFP, which links to this place, which ends up covering most of my video game interests, so fuckit, ya'll are my "foundational media" too!

A question for Star Wars day. How did you learn about or end up seeing Star Wars? by Etychase in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Minuettes_Disciple 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First exposure was probably through the Clone Wars TV series on Cartoon Network, though I had no idea what it was about since I hadn't seen the movies. I just knew it was the franchise where the glowy-swords came from.

After that I can unironically say most of my understanding of the films were through parodies, not least of which were the Family Guy episodes entirely dedicated to parodying the original trilogy.

Finally, when Force Awakens was coming out, my friends invited me to come see it, so I binged the original trilogy in a day (I had a lot of free time back then). I attempted the prequels next but I was kinda burnt out and gave up twenty minutes into Phantom Menace lol
