None of that weird 3D art style garbage
I have em on my 3DS. Azure Striker Gunvolt is a blast to play
cinder vessel
Yo, you're right, they're solid
Also Blaster Master Zero, rockin' game right there
cinder vessel
Comcept Inti Creates makes solid games when they're not being told to try doing some weird 3D funk, lol
light cairn
was gonna say, i didn't think any of those were comcept 
cinder vessel
It was a weird joint venture thing at the time, lol
light cairn
I also just learned that Comcept helped with Soul Sacrifice + Delta, huh
cinder vessel
Pretty sure they developed that in full
Or no...? Wat
What is even going on over there
light cairn
they're mostly Marvelous + SIE Japan developed afaik
Also speaking of (formerly) Sony, i wonder wtf is going on with Daybreak right now

Also since this has been stuck in my head for some reason today: World of Final Fantasy is just Kingdom Hearts but without Disney
light cairn

winter yew
somewhat
cinder vessel
It's meta, features main characters separate from any classic Square Enix series, yet has them adventuring about running into classic Final Fantasy characters
It also has an art style that really resembles Kingdom Hearts when it's not going all chibi-style

Theatrhythm is the best final fantasy crossover, fite me

apparently FF XV Pocket Edition is actually decent gameplay wise

FFXV has just been makin' me think the pop girl band FFX-2 is worth revisiting, lol

I also just never really dug in & tried to finish FFX, so may as well revisit both

the only FF i've ever beaten is 15, though i haven't played a lot of them in the first place ๐ค
cinder vessel
I've played a bit of a bunch of them
I think FFIX may be the furthest I've gotten in one without resets or whathaveyou
light cairn
i've played 9,13,14,15 i think
the only one besides 15 i made decent progress in was 13
daring badge
anyone wanna play SWB2 2017?
cinder vessel
I've played the rereleases of 1 & 2 (via Dawn of Souls), 4 (via Chronicles). Original releases of 7, 8, 9, 10, 12. But was too caught up with other stuff to follow & get into 13, 13-2, & Lightning Returns.
I did pick up Lightning Returns tho, but haven't jumped into it yet
I heard it was like a weird mix of Majora's Mask & a tinge of FFX-2's outfit system?
light cairn
how dare you skip the best game in the trilogy 
cinder vessel
Which was like, "Wat this is too crazy to not try sometime"
I've been meaning to pick up the other two at some point
cinder vessel
I've read some critiques that try to read something out of that, but can't recall them atm
light cairn
it's literally just corridors
cinder vessel
Yeah, but if memory serves they were reading them as a sort of contrast to the other FF games? Or as only being more notable because they didn't grant you the illusion of freedom that other FF games did, despite in reality being basically just as linear.
light cairn
literal first few hour https://static.giantbomb.com/uploads/original/6/60867/2114762-ff13_ch1_map.jpg

i say literal in the 100% factual definition of the word
primal inlet
you're literally being literal
light cairn
you walk in lines, and you walk the tiny little offshoot line to grab the item, then go back to the regular path
cinder vessel
Hmm, I should see if I can dig up that weird critique...Maybe it wasn't longform tho. ๐ค
light cairn
i like the battle system, i like the story, i absolutely adore the music, but the level design makes it a huge mind game to even get through
cinder vessel
oh nooo, trying to dig up much positive about it is...Uh...Somethin'
light cairn
yeah
the OST is the best part about it hands down imo
to the point where i listened to a lot of the tracks from it in FFXV on the mp3 player
royal mirage
Meanwhile, over here, playing this weird FF that's like pokemon, except with stacking...
light cairn
disgaea!?!?!
light cairn
there's stacking?
light cairn
you sure it's not Disgaea?
light cairn
ok that's just Kyogre
light cairn
no, this is a stack
royal mirage
Can you be knocked off balance
royal mirage
Here, we can
light cairn
but stackin in Disgaea is crucial
light cairn
royal mirage
And those people in the middle of the stack can change their size outside of battle
They can be normal,
Or what has been dubbed "chibi"
And that changes the stacks completely
cinder vessel
Oooh, okay there it is, loosely. Apparently the linear path at the start of XIII is related to the plot in some manner?
light cairn
it never goes away
like ever
there's one part where it opens up, but you don't have to spend much time there and then it's back to lines
and by opens up i mean "here's a hub circle that leads to more lines"
cinder vessel
also wait has Disgaea had stacking like forever?
tough heron
light cairn
since the first game it's always been a crucial aspect
cinder vessel
If so then World of Final Fantasy totally drew from that, lol
light cairn
yeah
light cairn
the original Disgaea came out in 2003 and stacking has always been a crucial aspect of it
cinder vessel
World of Final Fantasy is way better than I would have ever expected tbh
light cairn
neat
cinder vessel
It's really good
royal mirage
With cubes
light cairn
also Disgaea is a number crunchers dream
cinder vessel
But uh, yeah, from what I can gather it seems like FFXIII is maybe just a more compelling FFX
light cairn
is 10 pretty linear too?
cinder vessel
Oh yeah
I think people just sort of...Forget that
It may grant a bit more leeway in spots but you're absolutely just being shuttled from place to place
light cairn
well, it can't be as bad as thirteen ๐

What do you guys think of welcome to the game 1 and 2?
royal tendon
They're both interesting games
The issue that both these games have is the player connection
Why would the player want to enter a red room, in the first game? It's an objective, yes, but does the player truly want to look at what's inside?
In the second game, you're an investigative reporter trying to track down missing women. It's slightly better than the first game, but it's just not a very strong connection ๐
rigid haven
Huh, I never looked at that side of things
Both games are neat little things though. They kind of remind me of FNaF due to the whole "stuck in one place" thing (though the second one removes that)
royal tendon
The second one is free roam
You can refer to any of the free roaming fnaf fan games out there
rigid haven
That's a good point
royal tendon
The first one did have you stuck in one place, and you technically couldn't do anything to "hide" but to turn off the lights, sit still and stay quiet
The second game lets you hide on the ground floor closet, hide in the bathroom, your own closet, under the bed (I think?) and the balcony
rigid haven
Ahh, right
I've seen very little of the second game, but I think there's more things to worry about, which is one of the things the games do well
royal tendon
There's definitely more to worry about in the second game
rigid haven
And that emulates the feelings of being in the situation well, I suppose
royal tendon
There are more threats, but there's also more things to do in the second game
More things to do means you'll be spending a lot of time going from one system to another
More threats means you'll be spending a lot of time trying to get away or prevent those threats from coming in in the first place
It's definitely more stress-inducing than the first game
The first game really just had the whole kidnapping situation
rigid haven
Yeah. Then the update later added The Breather guy
royal tendon
The breather is an interesting one
Who sent him? Why does he want to kill you? How does he know you're the one he's looking for?
He's one of the threats that doesn't quite make much sense to me, or rather, he can have several possible backstories
rigid haven
I don't know if they clarify that in game, which is odd
Though I've not so much as seen anything of the end-game of the first
royal tendon
I have seen the ending of the first game, though that was with no patches or things
The second game, I'm still watching mark try to beat it
It's gonna be a long while
rigid haven
I might have to hop on to that
And maybe I'll watch around for the first game's ending

winter yew
Yea :3
I havenโt played in months
Ever since my friends lost interest I got a little bored lol
rigid haven
Man, I really want to talk about Celeste's Assist mode, but I don't know enough to talk at all
I know games had it quite a while back, Like VVVVVV which made the game more accessible to everyone, but Celeste is a more well-known example
Well, that and Mario Odyssey
I'm all for games posing a challenge, but I don't think that should stand in the way nor act as some sort of barrier
So like, if someone wanted to see things in Dark Souls but couldn't play it well for whatever reason, let them
Well, uh, there are things that shouldn't be made too easy, of course
cinder vessel
I think optional assist modes are great & should be included whenever possible, tbh.
The more people that are interested that can get into a work without it actively keeping them out due to neglect for their needs the better, really.
Any time ya hear people saying they shouldn't be included just think of them saying there shouldn't be subtitles for the hard of hearing or braille versions of books or something. It's just actively dickish.
rigid haven
Yeah. My want for it comes from the nagging fear that, one day, I won't be able to play games
Things like that, that make things super accessible, is something I want to see a ton more. Though, on the against side, difficulty does help with storytelling in some cases
After all, what's a final boss if it isn't hard? On the other hand, what's a final boss if you can't get to it?
cinder vessel
The other other hand is, even if made a bit less harsh, it may still be hard due to whatever condition you're working with.
rigid haven
That's a fair point
You know, I'm always less worried that I'll be unable to complete turn-based games with levelling than I am games that require skill and such
Levelling systems in themselves are sort of ways to make things easier on the player, but they're also huge time-sinks if you want to get it to the point where things are simple
cinder vessel
I can definitely see that, even for as much as I tend to dislike leveling systems
When done well they can offer a decent path to a semi-balanced sort of difficulty
rigid haven
And when done poorly...well, yeah
cinder vessel
I know some older folks for whom leveling was seen as beneficial since it gave them another path to work around, say, feeling they lacked the right skill or whatever
Which hey, fair enough, at least if the game is sensible in how it handles it
I think if more games took that kind of thing into account & worked with it some more, that could be really nice
In my experience though way too many seem to treat the leveling as the core loop, or generally just the real substance of all the gameplay
rigid haven
Ahh, right
cinder vessel
But if treated as a sort of fallback system, to reinforce ya when ya feel your raw skill isn't meeting the task, that would be pretty interesting
rigid haven
Yeah!
Though there's also the case of people who have no time and just want to enjoy the story
Level systems really aren't their best friend ๐
Unless, you know, they come back and chisel a bit towards the next level every so often, but then the game lacks the drive that makes people come back to it
rigid haven
Yup, I've seen that
royal tendon
On the same week, Snoman gaming decided to look at a different part of Celeste
rigid haven
Oh?
royal tendon
The two talk about rather different things but it's the same game
Really neat actually
rigid haven
Ohh. From the thumbnail alone, I'm guessing that it's something to do with how Celeste slowly lowers you into the difficulty by slowly teaching you new techniques?
I need to subscribe to these two, jeez
royal tendon
You do
cinder vessel
Also yeah the no time to level bit is why I think backseating leveling systems would be a bit preferable to frontseating them as so many do.
royal tendon
Mark Brown's video on how to make a detective game is still one of my favorites ๐
rigid haven
Ooo
cinder vessel
Mark Brown is really solid, for sure
royal tendon
He did a really good video on how to make puzzles, too, and that one is pretty interesting
cinder vessel
Haven't watched any of Snoman's stuff
royal tendon
Puzzle games aren't something people often discuss, that's the thing
Snoman doesn't do Good Game Design very much anymore
rigid haven
Puzzle games are tough
brisk merlin
Is that that game that has the special mode for disabled people?
royal tendon
He's more focused on twitch streams and speed runs
royal tendon
rigid haven
I'd love to go into the nitty-gritty of puzzle games but I genuinely know very little about them design-wise
cinder vessel
Also yeah Kev, Celeste has the Assist Mode that Woop was talking about
rigid haven
Ohh, I just thought of Bart Bonte. He makes a ton of puzzle games that can be played online. They have very basic puzzles, but it's a decent showcase
To not sound too nerdy, I'm amazed that some devs can find the player's blind spot and hide the puzzle there, both in plain sight and not
Oh, but then there's Sokoban. Sokoban is...well, those block-pushing puzzles from most top-down legend of zelda games
The thing is, that does it in short bursts and, to me, are just there to slow down the player. Maybe they'll throw a few enemies there to slowly wittle down your health while you trial and error your way through. It's not great, but they're few.
Sokoban is just....all that.
Speaking of Zelda, the BOTW Shrines do things like that quite well
Combining both puzzling parts and action parts
Oh god I'm ranting
tl;dr: I enjoy games
soft anvil
Wow me too
cinder vessel
nowai
what is enjoy. games
i thought they were analytical exercise tools to keep brain oiled
rigid haven
I've only recently started to, at least, trying to, look at them in-depth
cinder vessel
My thing was that for the longest time I tended to look at them technically rather than aesthetically
So I'd have some crude idea of how they might have programmed this or that
But I wouldn't have really thought too much about how the art direction might have played into this or that
rigid haven
Huh. I just like to think about what the devs tried to do, or cool things in general
Though I really am caught up on how the hell they make puzzles in puzzle games. I can hardly solve them, nevermind make them

Some of Rune Factory's entries (maybe all?) are fuckin' creepy in terms of undertones
Stardew Valley's really nice because it's right at this weird midspot between typical (i.e. medieval-renaissance-esque) fantasy & modern day

jankiness
it's really hard to explain what i mean by that, but it makes a ton of sense in my head
i'm trying to think of an example
cinder vessel
I think my fav part of Japanese games is that many of the bigger franchises haven't necessarily fallen head over heels into realism without creativity
Like the Souls games are definitely realistic in their art direction (at least in terms of general fidelity) but then they go weird as fuck with creatures. Same with Resident Evil.
light cairn
yeah a lot of western games go way too far into "gotta be as real looking as possible" to me
Souls design is absolutely fantastic
you can still have a "real" aesthetic without making the actual layouts boring

one of the actual decent Early Access games it seems
cinder vessel
Oh, it looks like they either added/started to show the other enemy designs more
The basic enemies just put me off because it seemed like they were trying to play off, "aren't vicious dirty naked people spooooky?!" And I'm just like...No more than they'd be if they had clothes...
light cairn
i mean that would be pretty spooky irl tbh

Sure, but no more than a person in soiled clothing ๐คท
light cairn
it'd be even spookier if they threw their clothes at you to disorient you
cinder vessel
lol
light cairn
but this isn't a Japanese game
cinder vessel
But yeah, the more mutated designs are nice to see
I kept reading stuff about cannibalistic mutants and I was like, "All I've seen are dirty naked people, and I'm pretty sure neither of those are mutations"
Although that raises an interesting point...At what degree of mutation does it stop being cannibalism? ๐ค

i always found that story mechanic to be laughable
we are goin to have cyborgs. not separate machine entities. its gonna be a merging that takes 100s of years
more likely we will be like the borg rather than like the cylons vs humans
it will come in fits and starts
someone will figure out a way to augment the brain
and those who don't do it will basically be naturally selected out of hte workforce
and therefore gene pool as they can't compete in society
etc

Damn though, this lorebook is absolutely charming to read. The logs in the game are also good, so it's no surprise tbh
@lavish obsidian thinkin' of ya:
Nevertheless the Q-Tract continue their constructions, singing whalesongs to one another, playing at being deep-space life forms in an inscrutable language of clicks and radio waves, an invented language that remains gibberish to anyone outside of the faction.

how long does the average Rocket League match take
I own it now and don't want to be caught up in something for an hour

I think they can generally be somewhat short? Like maybe 10-15 minutes? But pending skill & such
That might even be overestimating it tbh

Fluffy nobody plays 4v4 unless is nub

Yeah

but 4v4 sounds fun as fuck

No

why is 3v3 standard meta

hence why we should have RL game night

YES

Sony/Microsoft are bitches when it comes to crossplay

xbox is failing and PS4 is a money maker, that's why

Lol I got a warning on Warframe Forum for my thread bitching about Banshees nuking the map in Onslaught because of my YouTube video that apparently โshamesโ the players in the video.
Itโs just a short minute long clip of me standing there watching everything die in front of me as Banshees spam Soundquake. Guess I should turn the HUD off next time I decide to record a video of something in Warframe.

I desperately wish the invisible hours would go on PSVR sale again. I didn't get to pick it up last time and I REALLY wanna play it
rigid haven
Invisible hours? I haven't heard of that
uncut bramble
Ohhh! It's like an interactive murder mystery. It's not really a game so much as like.. interactive theatre?
So you can move around the mansion, rewind, pause and fast foward
So essentitally you can be everywhere when the murder happens, and put the pieces together
rigid haven
Oh, huh, that sounds pretty neat!
uncut bramble
Yeah! It's a cool concept but for a non-game, ยฃ35 is a steep price point
I think it maybe went to ยฃ15/ยฃ20 in the sale which is reasonable imo

Yeah, sounds it

@primal inlet when is the RL night?
limber harness
oh, yes. minecraft server.
daring badge
Kaz yeah what happened
limber harness
that, uh... long story.
daring badge
Tell it pls
limber harness
I still have an image of the server around by the way, so i can bring it back at any time there's interest again
limber harness
which is why i brought it down - not enough players to warrant hosting it anymore.
daring badge
Awww thatโs sad
limber harness
I'm sorry I had to bring it down, especially without a way of informing the community.
limber harness
In the future, though, i'd be more than happy to re-evaluate hosting the server.
(especially for events and such)
daring badge
Also, where is Quav
daring badge
... ๐ญ

Quav left for some reason
daring badge
Like the server?
limber harness
yeah. she's just... not around anywhere as far as i can tell
daring badge
Huh
limber harness
i suppose if i really had to, i could still reach her through AD, but i'd rather not do that.
limber harness
oh speaking of. AD.. no growth, no users, no posts.
Things were getting autolocked left and right, so...
daring badge
that sucks
rigid haven
Ah, yeah, Quav was a, uh, messy situation. That reminds me, I should play Runescape more
light cairn
I think they just got into a heated argument with someone and kinda just...vanished after. But I don't know if that was the specific reason.
not really mine to say

i like starmade method of black hole where there is an event horizon and once you get too close to it. it starts you on a predetermined wormhole path through teh galaxy. the onyl way to escape is to use the velocity you are gaining in the "pull" to change vector and slingshot yourself out of the event horizon. its kind of a neat way to do it. i made a base at the edge of an event horizon and the pirates couldnt attack because they would get pulled into it as they approached my base โค
brisk merlin

starmade
"i like starmade method .. "
its kind of like minecraft in space but
the meta is quite ingenious
you can setup flelets of ships
and drones within drones
motherships even. fujlly automatmed
the grahpics are garbage. and the planets are tiny and shitty
but it has space whales
and the space battles are intresting
you can make some ridiculous stuff.
