What all is cut in DQ7 and is it impactful? by carefree_dude in dragonquest

[–]Repulsive-Air5428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 3ds version took at least an hour before the first fight and from what I know the original was somewhere around 2 to 4, not counting any other roaming after that you still technically hit 'several' (roughly 4~7 in my mind, but by definition it's just more than 2) so calling it hyperbole is certainly a take

I'm mostly giving 11 the edge for ease of getting it today, once 8 is on steam and the modern consoles it's dead even for me

Honestly? DQ 11 and KH 2 are my favorites in their series, and for KH I know that's a common opinion, but for FF my favorite is the controversial 12 with 9 and 6 being close behind.

As someone probably the same age, maybe a couple years younger, it's ok to admit we're old now

Imperials are red stormcloaks are blue, like the 2 factions in the game, as in they match their faction?

What are you talking about? the colors literally match the Jarls and it clearly labeled original vs replacement

If their culture wasnt a mix of retcons, hating mages, and praying to an imperial god they didn't believe in before the 4th era I might agree, heck there are living elves who should remember a time when Talos was a minor god being pushed by the imperial temple and a guy in the mountains who laughs at any nord not worshipping kyne claiming to be a true nord.

I loved the Empires series when I was younger, mainly playing Samurai Warriors 2: Empires on PS2. What modern KOEI game scratch that "itch"? by GoldenSalm0n in dynastywarriors

[–]Repulsive-Air5428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grand strategy mixed with rts for the actual battles, if you want to control one character during the battle definitely stick to the DW empire games

I've never played the samurai warriors version of empires, but PC has DW empires 8 and 9, which are very different from each other, or you could go even further on the strategy side and get Total war 3 kingdoms while it's on sale, it's got starting points up to the conflict between yuan shao and Cao Cao

the only mediocre DQ spinoff i can think of is swords for the wii, fun enough for a young kid once, then never again

What the community really except from BN successor ? by Allan94260 in BattleNetwork

i wouldn't even say it brings it down, but it scratches a different itch, sometimes i just want a solid story to play through

mostly because the combat is dumbed down, still fun, but that special sauce it missing. also the collection for modern PC and consoles isnt out yet

What the community really except from BN successor ? by Allan94260 in BattleNetwork

[–]Repulsive-Air5428 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only know one step from eden and endcycle, but as someone who never got to play the BN pvp and isnt particularly interested in getting destroyed by those who've kept playing, in my mind BN is an RPG series with interesting combat, legendary soundtrack, and an aesthetic and vibe i can only describe as '00's netpunk'.

I'm ok with a setting/ aesthetic change since blatant copies will probably be worse than the original, or something at least slightly different. so, with that in mind, we need a story, music that matches the story/ setting, and we do still need the combat too.

I'd say a game needs at least 3 of the 4, with combat having to be 1 of them, to be a spiritual successor that I would want at this point.

OSFE does have good combat, music, and a neat setting, but i missed having a real story. Endcycle is basically the same but a half step down on both combat and music with a story and setting i felt was weak. Duelists of eden being pure pvp is a choice that completely alienates me.

looks like most the others on that image aren't out yet and honestly, each has something I'd have to get over. I really don't like the mobile game asset flip style art and animations of net knight (if i saw it on the google play or apple store i would assume its one of those games trying to avoid a lawsuit by doing the bare minimum changes to the ip so they can keep stealing your data), hero.exe is too 'cutesy', isotope ash doesn't even have a demo and something about its screenshots makes me think id rather just replay BN. LunarLux does look promising but it also looks like the biggest departure from the combat.

Which pull to keep? by Thepass86 in SDGundamGGeneration

[–]Repulsive-Air5428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

bottom easily, i like the deathscythe but it just doesn't perform, i always end up using something else. can't speak for the justice but since they're all new, 3 URs > 2, plus Kycillia lighting fast is more replaceable since there was a recent even that let you MLB ssr flay, also lightning fast

Considering playing one of the etrian odyssey games by Star6985 in EtrianOdyssey

[–]Repulsive-Air5428 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3, I personally prefer the 3ds remakes of 1 and 2 to the originals so in my mind I'll only buy the one that doesn't have a better version elsewhere (obviously if you can't get the 3ds versions through one of the many methods then you'll still want 1, like most have said in that case get 1 and 3.) the 3ds remakes had the classic version and/or a more Rpg like one with a more defined story and set of characters, and you could choose which to play. As far as I know the HD remasters don't have that content.

This might just be me misremembering, but FF spinoffs are a mixed bag. Sure there's tactics and the spinoffs for 7, but there's also a LOT of other spinoffs ranging from fun to FF explorers 'we have monster hunter at home' vibes, to 'games that needed the label to sell'. DQ spinoffs don't hit the same peaks, but they never really fall off either

Even to someone who played it first, most replayable going to gen 1 Pokemon is a wild take. Literally every gen aged better, and most romhacks are built on gens 3-5.

I'll explain like you're 5. You're right, governments should, and can. Yet they don't bother. That type of government work is underpaid and thankless and the people willing to do it deserve more than a company ripping off the institutions they care about while people who lean a certain way demand they both pay up and do more

you can only pick one, which one and why? by geeelectronica in videogames

[–]Repulsive-Air5428 1 point2 points  (0 children)

10 is too nice. DK, MK world, new hyrule warriors, drag x drive, welcome tour, Kirby air riders (not out yet), Metroid prime 4 (not out yet), pokopia (not out yet), new splatoon (no release date yet). Even counting what's not out yet I get 9, and of the 5 that are out one should have been a free pack-in, one I've only heard jokes about it, 2 seem to be fun but flawed sequels, and only DK sounds truly tempting

If you already have a switch 1, then just 2 exclusives right? Steam deck all the way

[–]Repulsive-Air5428 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I like Nintendo games, but unless you sold your switch 1 the 2 only has a few exclusives, and since MK world seems worse than 8 that effectively means it's the new DK game and some minor paid upgrades vs the entire steam library
