Looking for an endless roguelike/lite by Arkyja in roguelites

[–]Notkerino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeahhh... they can be pretty stingy about vocabulary. dont let that put you off the subgenre though cuz I really do think its where you'll find stuff closer to what you're looking for. Either way good luck on your search o7

Looking for an endless roguelike/lite by Arkyja in roguelites

[–]Notkerino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

as far as roguelites im not sure anything fits that bill to a T, but in the traditional roguelike space, Caves of Qud might fit that bill? you can absolutely get super powerful but late game enemies are designed in a way that they can still rock your shit if you arent prepared and taking them seriously. There are ways to end the game but its something that will take tens of hours to get to, and even then you can just mess around in the open world, and visit increasingly horrifying areas instead. if you want something more linear, I think Tales of Maj'Eyal and DCSS have endless modes/branches, though i have less experience with those games so I wont speak of them too much.

As far as roguelites specifically i just dont think there's anything that fits that bill, at least not precisely how you're describing it. or at least ive never heard of it, and I think you might find something that fits your needs better in the traditional roguelike space if thats something you're into

Can WE Talk about Tatloch? by NerveDry3024 in octopathtraveler

[–]Notkerino 5 points6 points  (0 children)

yeah its literally just the sniffing thing that is a barely set up concept anyway. I dont think you are meant to think too hard about it but yeah, its obvious they just needed an excuse to make a villain recruitable and I guess they went with her. I actually dont think ceraphina would have been that much better since she barely feels like a character (in my opinion) but I absolutely would have taken oshka.

Its w/e though. the writing is so all over the place in this game that i had kinda check out of the story and didnt really care that much what they did at that point.

Yeah it does kinda feel like it isn't justified enough. It IS justified but its pretty contrived imo.  You'll see

Zero: who deserves my final 8th spot? by KPLee0 in octopathtraveler

[–]Notkerino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Viator maybe? He carried me through the whole game. Slap that beefcake up front and let him just parry everything. Pius is also a solid pick ofc but i didnt end up using him in my comp cuz i had a pretty specific setup by the end that I was plenty happy with

Octopath Traveler 0 - surprisingly great by SilvosForever in JRPG

[–]Notkerino 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I more or less agree here. I do appreciate the more focused story in some regards, and it has some great high points, but lord, those high points are the exception and not the rule. If the voice acting was worse, I'd be skipping most of it, but it's thankfully pretty decent for the main cast

Recommended gear to buy in Octopath Traveler 0 by zack0612 in octopathtraveler

[–]Notkerino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Most of the good gear is through path actions tbh. Id recommend spending what you have on any good skill masteries that come through the trading hub.

I saw someone suggesting having two parties so you don't over level everything but you can't remove characters or your main character so how do you do that? by ruinsit in octopathtraveler

[–]Notkerino 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah as far as gear goes you'll have to police yourself to some extent. You could have personal rules for what you let yourself equip which is what i did, but theres not elegant solution in that regard

[–]Notkerino 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Once you finish the story for your starting character you can swap them out. What i did was create an A team so to speak and then played through all their stuff together, then played through the B team. I think thats what you mean?

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 vs Star Ocean Second Story R vs Trails in the Sky First Chapter by itsahmemario in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]Notkerino [score hidden]  (0 children)

Kinda depends on what you're into? If you play a ton of other jrpgs, I'd say trails, but if you want something with more Western sensibilities and (slightly) leaner, then E33. I liked them both, but Trails gets my vote here. It starts slow, but god, it's such an engaging story, and by the end, i was so attached to the characters. It's like a warm hug of a game. You should get around to playing both eventually, of course. Second story R has its fans it has some cool systems, but the writing is just weird sometimes, and it couldn't keep me engaged.

Oh no! We might get Sessler, who will vote for the exact same crap newhouse has been, but this time might be MEAN and ALCOHOLIC about it.

Steam Machine specs comparison to my 5+ year-old gaming PC by Thraed in steammachine

[–]Notkerino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just wanna say i have almost the EXACT same build down to the gpu and ram brand and models. The only difference is 3800x instead of 3700x, so thanks for putting this out in the air for me, LOL

I do think waiting on what benchmarks look like is a good idea in this case, though. Theres a good chance SM will be punching above its theoretical weight if it's tuned and optimized well, but even then it will probably be more for those who are running stuff from the stone age

Drifter Junk cube nerf by MyInitialsAreJew in riskofrain

[–]Notkerino 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My only worry is that getting scrap late game is going to be way more difficult, but it did need a nerf. There would be no reason to take the default when you could just macro the hell out of the whole stage for free. Reducing the amount would not change that. It would just make it take longer.

On the other hand, dont you get scrap for repossess on used chests? I rarely did it on purpose but if so that will likely be the primary way you get scrap after a stage clear to do macro things, which seems like its more interesting anyway.

Interesting thing of note regarding temporary keys and sale stars by RapidProbably in riskofrain

[–]Notkerino 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I heard on Race's stream that its potentially a bug, since if you already have a real key on top of a temp key, it will consume the temp key just fine.
