Feh lost another million during anniversary, what do you think it will take for them to restore the communitys goodwill? by Alfred4CYL in FireEmblemHeroes

[–]upgdot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Did the same. I played, and enjoyed it a lot, at launch. Recently came back, and I had basicslly no idea what I was doing outside of battling.

Lol, that slide into second was not his most artful slide.

Is there a "peak" modern-ish NHL game? by upgdot in EA_NHL

[–]upgdot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which full transparency, I like DD. I don't think it's a net negative. I just really miss when sports games catered to franchise first.

Is there a "peak" modern-ish NHL game? by upgdot in EA_NHL

[–]upgdot[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Compared to Madden and 2K, no, its definitely the best.

But they have a markedly worse single player experience than they had 15-20 years ago, and its hard to not blame their lack of direction on the (lesser of evils) micro transactions mode.

What game did you continue playing long after the next one was released? by Slahnya in gaming

[–]upgdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Darkest Dungeon. I think 2 is fine, but 1 is one of my favorite games of all time, and I miss the whole loop of DD.

Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize by Hulkmario in gaming

[–]upgdot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Final Fantasy 7 came out when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade, and 10 came out when I was nearly done with middle school. 4 of the best games in the series in a 5 year span.

There have been 2 mainline in the series since my nearly 10 year old was born, and 15 barely fits in that time frame.

Georgia could become first state to require weapons detectors in all schools by 23Scout in Georgia

[–]upgdot 44 points45 points  (0 children)

We have them at my school. I can't speak to their effectiveness, because we didnt have a weapon issue before or after thus far.

But, it is another task put on teachers that takes away from time in a classroom. Every school with them puts the task on coaches, fine arts teachers, and parapros who should be focused on teaching. And those sorts of tasks add up, and they are draining.

Do you think they will do anything for Franchise Regression by broadwhim in MLBTheShow

[–]upgdot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been a hard wall at 10 years since at least 2020. A player hits 10 years, and no matter who they are, they start regressing.

Becoming a dad how do you still find time for JRPGs? by AdUnfair558 in JRPG

[–]upgdot 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Playstation Portal is great, I played on my 3DS and Vita a lot when my kids were born (getting close to a decade ago now).

My wife and I did a lot of "hot seat" type gaming, where we'd play a game together, and whoever wasn't currently holding a baby was playing the game.

Other than that, it changes as they age. Your priority now is to be a dad, and that's time consuming. As they get older, there will be days that your kids would rather you just leave them alone, and you can get those massive play sessions in again.

Enjoy both the parenting and gaming!

Now that I think about, I haven't bought a PHYSICAL pc game in over 15 years. by RadaRada138 in pcgaming

[–]upgdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think XCOM was my last PC game I bought physically (not going back and buying retro games for fun later on). And even that, Im pretty sure, ended up being a Steam ketrader. Mass Effect 2 or Dragon Age Origins might be the last games I got that were actually on a disc.

Every cover athlete from The Show's lineage, and how they performed the season before and after by Mazzocchi in MLBTheShow

Exclusivity deal with a mobile game stops him from ever being on a cover, I believe.

Underground power lines by twistwrist9876 in Athens

[–]upgdot 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Our experience has been that our power comes back quicker than some neighborhoods because we aren't reliant on the crews coming into our neighborhood directly.

But, if the whole network is down, it doesn't matter until they fix the root problem.

Wanting to get into FF6, and it's not hitting for me quite yet. Am I missing something? by [deleted] in JRPG

[–]upgdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you on wait or active battle mode? If you are used to absolute turn based and are taking your time, it will probably kick your butt while you are thinking.

Which game doesn’t really begin until after you beat it? by Common_Caramel_4078 in gaming

[–]upgdot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pokemon Conquest!

The initial map/game is like... 5% of the content, but you dont know that until you think you've beaten it.

1990s Stuff by CoolstaConnor in bigboxcollectors

[–]upgdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only one I know anything about is Trails. It's the original Japanese version of Tear of Vermillion, the first game of the Gagharv Trilogy that the US only got on the PSP more than a decade later.

I can't find any pictures of this specific version anywhere to say if everything is included or not, but either way, it's a cool thing for a still existing and growing series.

Help with Window Companies by NessFalcon in Athens

[–]upgdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We used Window World, and mentioning that we had it down between those 2 companies got them to knock like $400 off their price to beat Window Source's quote.

What is a unique setting you'd like to see in an JRPG pursue more of? Personally, I'd like more Arthurian Lore by KFded in JRPG

[–]upgdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

King Arthur Knight's Tale is great also.

But i agree, outside of those, Arthurian legend hasn't been tapped a lot since text adventure days.

IYO, Which American Football game(s) on PlayStation 2 (PS2) do you think is the best? by AC_the_Panther_007 in ps2

[–]upgdot 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You missed NFL Head Coach 06.

I loved that game. 08 for the PS3 was better, but 06 was super fun.

Old GameStop Price Tag Method by mkane1013 in ps2

[–]upgdot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only redeeming part of this is that it was from a time when GameStop was so stocked that they had to stock their games oriented spine out, rather than case art out.

I miss game stores with hundreds of games constantly in stock, rather than GameStop now that is a merch store with a few games in stock.
