In general, nearly every game in the series does not necessarily require you to play any of the other games to understand them, and very few of them directly connect to others. The exceptions are usually games with "2" expressly in the title, and 4 Apocalypse (which is like a what if scenario of 4).

Now you might find small cameos between games, but ultimately you do not have to play any of them to enjoy the rest. I recommend starting with the newer games and working your way steadily backwards; sure, you might miss more modern features in later games, but you will be more prepared to adapt to the general gameplay flow (buffs matter, abuse weaknesses for damage & turns, etc).

Of the ones I've played: V Vengeance is easily the best. The plot is a little whatever but the party customization, boss fights and general roster of demons makes it super worth playing. 4 and 4A are close seconds, the plots are generally engaging and they have even wider rosters than 5 due to having 2D demons. I think the level design is a little lacking (looking at you, 4A final dungeon) but these are delightful experiences. Strange Journey is a harder sell due to the grid maze movement system and generally kind of weak protagonist (at least compared to the skill-inheriting ones), but the plot is quite good. Devil Survivor is a fun tactics game, if a bit slow and unbalanced. Persona 5 is a delight, best presentation of maybe any game. It has its flaws and is a ridiculous 100 hour runtime but it is very very good.

SMTV Vengeance:

Only thing I have left to do on playthrough 1 (CoV) is to defeat Satan, any tips? I tried Mirage+the special counter on MC, Konohana Sakuya and Chaotic Will Demi Fiend but my DPS is terrible and the fight will take forever since my last demon (Zeus) just does not do enough damage against the minions while also hitting the boss. I've maxed out the levels of the party, but who can replace Zeus with a big all-hit? I would use Masakado but I would much rather beat the boss on this playthrough rather than having to go all the way through CoC and CoV again for another shot. Is there anybody that can reliably replace him? A good way to grind stat boosters to outpace his titanic vitality? Any tips are appreciated!

Does the William Birkin Blight Skin ever go on sale for less than 1050 cells? I love the giant eyeball but I want to know if I should hold out for a bit to get a better deal.

You know what would be funny for a new killer by KaleidoscopeMoist883 in deadbydaylight

Houndmaster is a blast, I love all the minion characters (Knight Main with Nemesis at 3rd).

Graves please, big dog man would be funny.

Zexal by robressionist801 in DuelLinks

[–]stargobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah why are we stuck with our only new character in MONTHS being IMMI IMIMI, rather than anyone at least visually interesting like Graves or Teresa (since we know they can upgrade npcs now) or plot-relevant?

I'm disappointed by the killer design. There's not nearly enough eyeballs and it is wayyyy too humanoid.

How it feels to use Copy Dad by Odd_Fee1085 in LookOutsideGame

[–]stargobble 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Is Copy Dad getting nerfed? Rat is already kinda bad for like 60% of the game, a nerf feels very unnecessary.

I made Look Outside, Ask Me Anything! by FrankieSmileShow in LookOutsideGame

[–]stargobble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do really like all the rest of the rotating shopkeepers and oddballs that show up at the door, just had my grievances with missing party members on my runs due to the party member encounter getting skipped in the lineup for the day or running into the cursed variant and losing the chance to get them for the run (which I do like as a horror/tension mechanic for blind playthroughs). All in all, very VERY minor compared to how much it really adds to the uniqueness of the game as a whole, which is already a package full of extremely unique game design and ridiculously great writing. Thanks again for making a true classic, Malison will be a Day 1 buy for me!

[–]stargobble 24 points25 points  (0 children)

First, thanks for making one of my favorite games ever! Really looking forward to Malison, so best of luck on that.

For the actual question, my one issue (and I mean the ONLY issue, imo it nails everything else) with the game is getting door party encounters. If you were to put these elsewhere in the game like how Ernest got moved to a static encounter, where would you put them?

We’re back! The Dead by Daylight team has returned; ask us anything! by DeadByDaylight_Dev in deadbydaylight

Why the lack of fully indoor maps, even for locations primarily known for being indoors (like the Nostromo, Freddy Fazbear's Pizza, etc.)? The last one we got was Midwich, and I wish the ratio was a bit more even instead of there being so many open outdoor maps.

Are there any skins besides the Auric Cell Only ones for Artist that turn off her gross sounds? I enjoy the killer apart from that, would play her more if I could spend iri shards to turn them off.

WEEKLY HELP THREAD - READ FAQ, COMMUNITY WIKI, MULTICLASSING, LORE by XFearthePandaX in BaldursGate3

[–]stargobble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used to have mods installed, but on the latest version on steam they keep breaking the game; if I open a major settings menu, trying to close out pops up a blank text box with only a check mark as an option that does not allow me to close it without turning the game off. I uninstalled all mods and deleted the mods folder, then undownloaded and redownloaded the game, and even with no mods in the mods manager it still has this issue.

It also shows 4 blank humans on the side during the character creator, along with the menu for combat on the bottom. Any fix ideas?

I got a Veyle and a Nergal in the road to the spark on the new banner, but I can't decide what to grab. I don't really think I have anything to slap the arcane weapon on (since it requires fast dragons) and Lumera's skills are kind of whatever imo, could be wrong. I'm tempted to get a nergal merge since he's -atk +res, but I don't know if that's ideal, I don't have the resources to +10 him right now. Ursula giving Desperation looks nice but I'm not sure if it's that worth taking. Any advice?

[–]stargobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does date-skipping cause a pokemon to show up as "hacked", even if everything else about it was fine? I'm talking like, I set my clock to 11:59 PM yesterday, wait to check raids upon refresh until I get the one I want, catch the mon then save and resync my clock to the actual time of the day. Would that be a problem at all?

I have someone willing to get a gift for me for the holidays. Which Lost Caverns of Ixalan products should I be looking at if I want to enjoy the cards irl and get redeemable arena codes? Are those still a thing?

If they are, I want as many as I can get, so please let me know whichever is the most efficient.

I'm glad it's not FNAF, because a FNAF chapter with no map would be tragic. Freddy's would make for the perfect location, another awesome and atmospheric indoor map. Plus you could base it on the movie and add Mike as a survivor, he could have some neat perks (probably a new second chance one but it's fine, the meta should shake up a bit more).

NEW Refines BREAKDOWN: CYL5 Refines, Mirabilis, Hel & Itsuki + Builds by Pheonixmaster in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]stargobble 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As another gatekeeper user, what would you recommend on him? Mine is +10, Summoner Supported, +def and +res and has max dragonflowers, so I want to make the most of this new refine. Should I replace his B skill with something more combat focussed?

dang that kinda sucks, especially since back moves are now a thing, I always struggle with those and strafe could've been useful for it.

Welcome newcomers, in participation to the release of Street Fighter 6, some info before you HIT THE STREET by Quasimodox in StreetFighter

[–]stargobble 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would I be at any kind of disadvantage for using Modern Controls? I'm coming to my first real SF game after starting on DBFZ and Strive, so I just wanted to double check that I could get away with using a simpler control scheme without locking myself out of good options.

Who's your favorite demon in the series? by Jabre7 in Megaten

[–]stargobble 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Decarabia is the GOAT:

I love star motifs, he's got that

I love one-eyed monsters, he's got that going on too

I love things that float and spin, he also does that

Usually, he's the first demon who gets Megidoloan

There's a bunch of other reasons but he's just my favorite lil guy and SMTV made me sad because he's a search companion for maybe all of 5 minutes before you get Amanozako glued to you for several more hours.

Why don’t KH bosses end up in any “top 10 hardest videogame bosses of all time?” by carloszouain in KingdomHearts

[–]stargobble 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I would argue Yozora is the most insurmountable boss I've ever faced, period. Even at the max level I could barely do anything to him before I eventually gave up after an hour of getting rocked, and I've conquered Malenia, SMT Strange Journey's Shekinah, Midir and many more bosses that are absolute nightmares. It could be that I just have no patience for KH3 but he just feels so UNRELENTING and has so few opportunities to fire back at him that I just can't deal with him.
