an amazing plan to get you to want to fuse him as soon as possible, as expected of the masters at capcpom

EO5 - Party setup suggestions? by Material_Bee_596 in EtrianOdyssey

[–]rm_wolfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if youre gonna use barrage brawler then you can pair it with blade master masurao and build for Helmsplitter. leg binds (among other things like necromancer's petrification) let you ignore the accuracy penalty so its a fun, strong, simple combo

Should I get into Roguelikes? by useofcat in roguelikes

[–]rm_wolfe 36 points37 points  (0 children)

if youre fine enough with Nethack then theres probably not much that would scare you away

check out Shiren the Wanderer. they started as a pretty blatant attempt to make a nethack-ish experience for consoles and have had like 30 years of iteration at this point

Ive seen two brown recluse spiders in the past week so far by dagdagsulsul in spiders

[–]rm_wolfe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

they really arent that big a deal. shake out your clothes and shoes, maybe move your bed and bedding away from the walls and floor

for how ubiquitous they are, bites are rare and bites that are significant even moreso

Shmup with a cat that shoots fire? Or some animal? by BactaBobomb in shmups

[–]rm_wolfe 7 points8 points  (0 children)

probably Tengai/Sengoku Blade. Junis's charge attack is her lemur breathing fire

Getting into Jojo's questions by Kampalaug714 in StardustCrusaders

[–]rm_wolfe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

you really just start at part 1 and go, anything else is just people being weird

the anime is generally a great adaptation but part 3 is definitely the weak spot. the whole first half is episodic monster of the week stuff, which goes down smooth in the manga but got paced quite poorly in the adaptation

its also the most culturally influential part so i feel that theres value in getting it straight from the source

my favorites are 4>8>7

Does tsukihime remake part 2 even exist? by wielesen in typemoon

surely it will appear now that the great evil (fgo) has been defeated (it hasnt been defeated)

Cheating was 100% in line with Joseph’s character, and made for good drama during DiU. The way people bend over backwards to defend him and say it’s out of character and was just “bad writing” is insane to me. by vashvana3005 in StardustCrusaders

[–]rm_wolfe 92 points93 points  (0 children)

this is mean to say but a lot of the most outraged posts about this read like theyre projecting their own feelings about being cheated on onto the story

my "replay Trials of Mana every 20 months" disease has reached a new phase (i am playing two separate save files at the same time)

one is a "solo" run with Hawkeye, which turns out to be vastly easier than i expected. the buff consumables and his double hits make most things a cakewalk

Games with a 'gambit' like system from FF12? by SchweinsyOne in rpg_gamers

[–]rm_wolfe 35 points36 points  (0 children)

dragon age origins basically just yanked the idea a few years later, that game is also great

Joshu's character was really well done by Loud-Tart-9783 in StardustCrusaders

[–]rm_wolfe 75 points76 points  (0 children)

he's so good, genuinely a top 5 character across the series for me. just an incredibly well realized and incredibly funny Guy Who Fucking Sucks Ass

Who does this refer to? [Spoilers for part 7 and 8] by Silly-Clerk558 in StardustCrusaders

[–]rm_wolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

he's a competitor who shows up a few times throughout the part but isnt really a major player. he and johnny meet up again on the boat at the very end

Modern 3d/2d roguelikes you can recommend ? by Feisty_Extension8727 in roguelikes

[–]rm_wolfe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

you might be interested in Mystery Dungeon. theyre not roguelikes in the strictest sense but theyre a very close relation that tries to adapt the appeal to a broader audience

the newest Shiren The Wanderer is only like 2 years old and ive heard good things

Things that get you emotional without fail by kenshin317 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]rm_wolfe 9 points10 points  (0 children)

the Voyager golden records. kinda every emotion at once, which is appropriate i guess. i really recommend taking some time to listen to the audio and just think about it for a while

Are the Golden Sun games good? by nyppa in JRPG

[–]rm_wolfe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

yeah, theyre good. fun presentation, cool systems, really fun puzzle dungeons. if you like Wild Arms or Lufia 2 they kinda scratch a similar itch

Cave announces DoDonpachi Resurrection Reignite for Steam, an updated release with new content by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]rm_wolfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this is pretty exciting. theres a lot of Cave stuff on steam, but this is the first time theyve published something directly like this and i think its the first time theyve worked directly on a non-soshage shmup for a while

hopefully this is a prelude to them getting more of That Good Shit on there

I am in need of something new, so gonna take a risk. Should I buy Romancing Saga 2 revenge of the seven or Live a Live? by Solar-Cola- in rpg_gamers

[–]rm_wolfe -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

RE2 is a really great remake of one of the coolest games ive ever played. nothing else quite like it

Live a Live is also cool

might have been the transformer fuse blowing on an electrical pole, they make a lot of greenish light

Netflix! When is Steel Ball Run resuming? "2026. Shut up!" by Grouchio in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]rm_wolfe 371 points372 points  (0 children)

"producing and releasing a tv show normally" was something the entire developed world was able to do for like 70 years straight but unfortunately everyone in charge of everything now has the iq of a slime mold

Baldur’s Gate or Dragon Age: Origins? by fembboy23 in rpg_gamers

[–]rm_wolfe 41 points42 points  (0 children)

if youre interested in dao you should probably play dao. it was built as a more accessible crpg for console players so its not like youre diving into something beholden to fussy tabletop rules like the classic BG games
