idk what ur asking

its free

u just play the game

[copper remnant]

is this free?

legit question

[shell slate]

Bpass

Prob

[copper remnant]

i know there's "free" passes

[queen island]

it's probably paid one

[copper remnant]

but as far as i know usually cool skins are locked in premium

[queen island]

can't check i'm in game

[copper remnant]

ngl i've been itching a bit

played some tft

watched some coaching videos

[queen island]

yeah i'm playin tft right now 😄

[copper remnant]

i like the idea, but going into ranked becames too much math and memorizing stuff for my taste

[queen island]

i just play for fun, if i win i win

[copper remnant]

yeah i think that's the best

[bleak rock]

oh thats a league skin sorry

i thought u meant the hall of fame shit in anno

i dont fuck with league

all the hall of fame shit in anno is free

u just get points for playing and hitting milestones

[copper remnant]

i didn't know anno had rewards mechanics

[shell slate]

Its ubisoft i think

They usually attach a poijt system for gettimg easy ahivements

And they unlock like small skins in the game

They do it with all their titles

[copper remnant]

i only have dawn of discovery think it's too old a title to have that

[cobalt spade]

Beeko is from the pass, and the skins on thr pass are not free

[noble falcon]

to this day

I still regret not spending money on WF founders over LoL

[visual ibex]

Time to play Anno 117 like crazy

[bleak rock]

I DO THIS FOR STAL, IN THE HARDEST BRACKET, I STAY IN THE TOP EVEN THO SHE HATES ME

[cobalt spade]

You stay at the top but you're still not at the peak

Get to work

[bleak rock]

no difference from 1 and 3

only need top 20

i put my number down, with minimal effort

bad rng on 1 thing was the difference

[cobalt spade]

Are you really doing it for her if you're not number 1

[bleak rock]

yes

[cobalt spade]

I believe you

[wise spire]

i love the idea that the others at the top are raging at the fact that "DogGirlLover" is better than them

[bleak rock]

Most of these are not skill basee

Based*

Some of them are

But it's really just go in pve and get out

Just need a good plan and 2 prep

And rng

One of the trails this week is bastion damage

A map can have 3, then 2 respawns

Or 2 and 2 respawns

Just rng

[wise spire]

i need to play the game properly. i only went in for 1 round so far

[bleak rock]

But that's like 4k points right there

Then if other people r doing it, it's either pvp or take the kill and lose some damage, either way ur losing some points

[wise spire]

i just want to walk around and mess around with voice changers and shoot people in the back tbh

aram mayhem is so fun, even more fun when i get my main and just dunk on everyone

i just wish we got more crazier augments

[wise spire]

decided to bite the bullet and start over wiht the lessons ive learned

time to immediately ignore my lessons and make another bad colony

[wise spire]

yeah this is much better. i actually have room to think ahead now, and im already profitable

[wise spire]

one big tip for anno: || research the paved road upgrade as soon as you can. it increases the radius and efficiency of basically everything ||

[echo walrus]

I assume it also does it then for public building radius? Like the same as in 1800 where it also extended the radius of public service buildings

[queen island]

Public building radius is the most frustrating thing so far for me

Like bruh, it connected by road, just walk

[south dawn]

Ashes is a straight up scam and I'd avoid

they were kind enough to do refunds though

[faint dragon]

Is it really defined as scam though

[south dawn]

naw since they do refunds (at least my friend got a refund) but those alpha packs were outrageously priced and its rolling at a snail's pace

[wispy scroll]

to be honest

its whatever

just watch ppl play

if the game is shit , dont watch it after

[south dawn]

i think you should just expect nothing if you decide to get it, it has been hyped to hell and back over the years and whats the progress at now

[wispy scroll]

i think i expected nothing since a long time ago

when i 1st saw the game

i wonder what even change in the end since it takes so long

to develop

[south dawn]

dats good

anyways thats my 2 cents

[wispy scroll]

damn you poor

[south dawn]

yea i get scammed by gacha games all the time

[wispy scroll]

i did not get out of character customization

and i alt f4

[south dawn]

same boat

well not really i got out 1.5 hours later

[copper remnant]

lmfao

[south dawn]

chars are too pretty

[wispy scroll]

im playing maple

[south dawn]

wrapped me up in silk and shit

[wispy scroll]

i am so ...

cooked in maple

[livid elbow]

still waiting on classic

[wispy scroll]

i named myself goddess falls

and i joined a guild called suffer

why do i do this

[copper remnant]

even the character looks dead inside

[wispy scroll]

yea thats her default look

i didnt change it

[livid elbow]

holy

[wispy scroll]

play too much nikke

maybe its just me

when i open a game with open world explore

i just... lost all motivation

[livid elbow]

same man it just felt way to empty

the most i can do is top down even top down felt too empty

[wispy scroll]

its not like i hate open world game

its just.. they pumping out these type of game way too often

and i got so burnt out from it

maybe im getting old

i dont particular like gaming all that much now , i like watching

[livid elbow]

most of them are just bad for me you really need to fill out your maps with things by like 3x to make it not feel desolated

[livid elbow]

yeah honestly its draining when you gotta use brain to process stuff most from AAA titles most of the time i just want to empty my head grind and not feel bored

[wispy scroll]

its why i play maple for abit now

mindlessly grind and not think while watchign something on the side

[cobalt spade]

i reinstalled maple a fewmonths back but had no time to play after uni started

like literally at all

[wispy scroll]

maple is a game i will come back time to time

same as gw2

[cobalt spade]

len looks fking sick tho

[wispy scroll]

but i never stay long

[cobalt spade]

its like hayato if it was good

[wispy scroll]

yea i need

10 more lvl

to see her 6th job skill

PLEASE

[cobalt spade]

also uhhhhh

[livid elbow]

that is crazy

[wispy scroll]

hayato is garbage

compare to ren

[cobalt spade]

i had the burning world event thing

[wispy scroll]

i main hayato and im crying everyday back then

[cobalt spade]

and i mightve forgot to transfer my characyer

[wispy scroll]

same...

[cobalt spade]

and the event is over

[wispy scroll]

i lost my... astelle

because i forgot to transfer

[cobalt spade]

[wispy scroll]

all battlepass-ed up

got all the skin and stuffs

[cobalt spade]

same

[wispy scroll]

and i FORGOT about it

[cobalt spade]

[wispy scroll]

just 1 thing

ren you can strafe while holding down dps button

hayato cant so... thats already better

[cobalt spade]

i love hayato as a concept man, like weebstick got my attention already, but the class doesnt really play itself

[wispy scroll]

i just hate the stacking mechanic on hayato

i always drop it if theres too much downtime

[livid elbow]

when it first release the dps button are mostly single lane aoe im like ooof man

[wispy scroll]

ren is very simple to play

yet i find ren more engaging compare to hayato

and KMS doesnt have hayato

so the buff/nerf takes so long

after a groundbreaking nerf , they never got back up

[cobalt spade]

hayato also my main i hate it

[wispy scroll]

but its easy to lvl now

1+4 level

so after i lvl at 250

im at 255

so realistically

i only need to lvl twice to hit 260

[faint dragon]

So all the new classes are character names now?

[livid elbow]

and then there is demon slayer....

[faint dragon]

Last 1 I remember was evan or something

[wispy scroll]

well

as long as you playing a class

that KMS have

you should be fine

[livid elbow]

that is so true even with lost ark

[wispy scroll]

this guy

isnt in KMS

dont touch him

[livid elbow]

isnt that shade

[wispy scroll]

i think i got him for linkskill

mo xuan or something

thats the name

[livid elbow]

oh cause i rmb shade is pretty budget friendly because it can use multiple stat equip iirc

[wispy scroll]

i stop playing lost ark after akkan i think

the lantern mechanic on 250ms

is cancer as fk

i cant even hate akkan

[livid elbow]

its an arpg you are cooked if its lagging i rmb when it was flooded with bots when i started it was suffering

[wispy scroll]

his theme is so fking fire

[livid elbow]

the legion commander bosses are all great man

[wispy scroll]

yea i can say this for sure

i enjoy my time in lost ark

those raid boss is so fun

[cobalt spade]

i stopped playing lost ark because i uninstalled and it went poof from my library and i couldnt get it agn coz region lock

LOL

but i also did have my fun in lost ark

it has been awhile since i enjoyed an assassin class in an mmo

[wispy scroll]

the only shitty part about lost ark

is the journey to end game

those story ... LMAO

and theres 1 part of the story

i love it so much

[cobalt spade]

i wouldnt mind hopping back on, but i apparently need to vpn make a new steam account and then keep swapping accounts but too much of a hassle

[wispy scroll]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gT2w3hvxNvc

idk but this is my favorite place

[cobalt spade]

one day a new mmo will tickle my assassin fantasies

idk the lost ark update timeline anymore

but i stopped playing after brelshaza

[wispy scroll]

i just dont like global lost ark

they always get the shafted raid

brelshaza is like baby mode holy shit

[cobalt spade]

yea i didnt stay on the game for long lol

i stopped coz i couldnt stand the ping anymore

[wispy scroll]

yea kinda why i dont play gw2 as much

unless friend is playing

i dont like to deal with the ping

[cobalt spade]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6Hfl8NdAFY

[thick coral]

ill prob skip ashes

[stone olive]

WWM isnt bad, but it just suffers from a somewhat dated system, too many menus, not being an mmo, weird AI feature etc.

Great character customization though

When you can make these sorta characters, its a win in my book

[wispy scroll]

its not bad

its just not my type of game anymore

[stone olive]

Yeah.. I feel like if I wanted the combat I would just go hit up Naraka again

But thats dead in Global scene

[wispy scroll]

the thing with wuxia game

they die so quick i dont even know.. which is which anymore

[livid elbow]

tree of saviour

[thick coral]

dont remind me of what could have been

[livid elbow]

its ok watch this moves

[cobalt spade]

wandance

[livid elbow]

it's so bad its actually good lmfao shit is frying me

the dude: wow this girl dance is amazing i am inspired

the girl: gmod animated dance

[south dawn]

unfortunately my experience with krmmos (or f2p mmos in general) are

launch hype and its fun for like 2weeks-2months give or take

bots take over and ruin the starting experience, and gatekeeping starts taking root, gg

or the systems in place get too tedious lol

i enjoyed my time in lost ark, tree of savior, ms2, blade and soul, and w/e mmos came within the last decade though

[silver heath]

hows maple these days the question is for everyone

[wet apex]

every patch it gets better (devs focus has been QoL for a while) but still not good enough imo, big patch just came out in global and it didn’t add a key QoL that Korea Maplestory (and other servers) have which is universal cash shop (classes are divided in groups and your in-game purchases can only be used within that class group, ie I buy a cosmetic for x class that belongs to y group, i can only use that cosmetic within y group of classes, btw the game has like +50 classes and incentivizes playing all of them yet they block ur purchases like that which doesn’t make sense (ofc they did it to make more money) which is why Korea added universal cash shop which is regarded as the biggest QoL in the last years yet people suspect global didn’t add it to keep making more money)

[wispy scroll]

theres a video about

the QoL make the game more complicated

[silver heath]

i always get an itch to play

get into it

grind for few weeks at most then quit idk why its like that

i think the core gameplay is just fun but the systems burn u out fast i guess

[noble falcon]

I'm still always conflicted about it myself

The things originally keeping with the game is like lol

and nowadays its more of if I had nothing else to do

[wispy scroll]

I talked about that on a friend stream recently

Its a game i will visit time to time , maple and gw2 is that 2 game

Play abit , scratch that mindless grind

And then come back another time when theres class i like again , its really not a big deal trying to 'catch up' for me

[modest cipher]

has anyone played where winds meet

and is it worth it

[limber citrus]

I did

its idk im very mixed

[wise spire]

most of the positive reviews i heard abotu it were talking about the arresting system. other than that all i heard is that its over rated, sloppy translation, and for betetr and for worse a clone of ubisoft/genshin games

but i didnt play it myself

[limber citrus]

it literally has genshi impact exploration mechanics but just a tad different, combat is nice, some movements are junky, like jumping etc, parrying is annoying, theres a.i npc's that you can have a convo in the game chat

visuals are nice, performance is bad

But i remember you have a 4090? or 5080? either way you can brute force yourway through the performance'

Some minigames lack clear explanation/tutorials

Gift of gab has to be the worst minigame ever made in the history of gaming

but over all, not much to say, realistic gacha exploration, nice combat gameplay

and apparently gacha has only cosmetics

and many bugs and glitches

its alright, have to play it a little bit more to decide

[wise spire]

yeah equipping gear doesnt change your look too. theres a seperate cosmetic thing

[limber citrus]

oh and the u.i is bloated, theres like 100 menus

you can get used to it

[thick coral]

3080 ti

my 4080 is in rma land for the 3rd time

[wise spire]

3080ti should be plenty enough to run it well. their rec is a 2070s

[limber citrus]

you will be around 100 fps

[shell slate]

I watched yuuki sit in character select for hours then I slept

If that helps

[wise spire]

yeah it does have good character creation, thats for sure

i was planning on trying it myself, but after hearing about how heavy it is performancewise i gave up thinking of playing it on my 1080

[wispy scroll]

ok so my opinion for that game

even for a 3rd person

i get motion sickness LOL

[oblique jetty]

[sweet imp]

I think performance in Where Winds Meet is pretty good

3070 on max settings and 60 fps

1080p ofcourse

it's basicaly Genshin except all gacha is cosmetics

explroation so far more fun than in Genshin

it has overwhelming amount of systems and currency

tutorials not good enough for that kind of convoluted shit

also menuing is very bad

finding anything is hard

also while solo it has a lot of social mechanics

like players healing other players injuries with a doctor minigame

prison system

marriages and stuff

there was some boat event where anyone could join just hang out, wrestle, play mahjong/card games and shit

I used it to quickly find a healer for my sprain

[queen island]

so it's a standart korean mmo with a lot of ideas just mushed together

[sweet imp]

ye

there is a lot of shit in there

you even have a yap minigame where you debate/shittalk NPCs

combat is fun so far

bosses are cool

[queen island]

https://tenor.com/view/ace-attorney-cool-gif-24370409

[sweet imp]

I also get terrorized by a goose

harder than any boss

there is general lack of polish

and I wouldn;t recommend streaming this game, cause there is a lot of unfiltered chat/message shit

people sending custom emotes/images in chat

also if you don't disable it a signpost (messages left by other players like in souls-likes) will autoplay a sound message people can record

and I saw a lot of people getting jumpscared by unhinged screams

also rhytm game I think

woo

can duet with friend

[stone olive]

My main issue with the game is all the heckin menus you have to go through to claim all the weird small rewards.

[copper remnant]

classic kmmo

i also heard latency in co-op is horrible

[stone olive]

But its CN..

No idea, I only played the solo version

[copper remnant]

sry i meant the style

the minigames i saw were horrendous, the debate/convincing with the cards stuff

jesus

its ok

raid bosses just stand there

feels like watching some old school tvb drama

[bleak rock]

and do nothing

[wise spire]

ive bene playing a bit of it to try it out now

still wouldnt recommend

seems like its a game that could be good one day

[copper remnant]

yeah i was going to say

the bosses are so spongy

and i just saw sometimes they fuly heal

[bleak rock]

they have bars

of hp

[copper remnant]

nono

they didn't deplete 1 bar

it was like, at half

[bleak rock]

i mean

normally if i speak im in big trouble

but idgaf

that game looks pure dogshit

and u have lost the plot

if u enjoy it

[wise spire]

yeah. it feels like an unfinished beta of a game that might be good in a year or 2

[copper remnant]

they masehd together every soulslike game mechanic into 1 game

there's stance bar

riposte

perfect dodge

parry

[bleak rock]

i have no idea why people are shilling this like its the best thing in the past 20 years

it looks/feels/plays/runs

horribly

[copper remnant]

now, i have no idea what the streamer is doing, but hse just doesn't die

she get stunlocked several times

[bleak rock]

maybe my eyes r fucking broken

idk

[wise spire]

yeah exactly. they pulled together a bunch of things form a bunch of games and it does none of those things as good as the games theyre taken from

[copper remnant]

idk how many heals there are

[stone olive]

Like it got some things right and good, but others its just .. Dated feeling and mobile slapped ontop

[bleak rock]

fotm fresh rerollers will cream their pants over everything tho i guess

give it 2 weeks and they will shift 2 asses of creation

another slop game

[stone olive]

I wonder.. Ashes have bad reception from get go

[wise spire]

i said so earlie,r but the biggest actual praise ive been seeing of this game is literally "LOL i was in a cart instead of going to prison"

[copper remnant]

as long as they sponsor every streamer on the planet

the reception will be the same

[stone olive]

Always been wild with how much money they can throw at streamers to showcase the games

[wise spire]

yeah im wiht hanna on this one 100%. and ive actually played it now so im not just saying what ive seen

i owuld say that the performance isnt nearly as bad as people ahve been letitng on though. game runs ok for me

and i have my 1080

cpu issue i guess

[bleak rock]

like idk

sure

if u play it like the sims

in china

game might own

but its not that?

aion2 as well soonge

[copper remnant]

the numbers also seem wack to me

like you are dealing 90, 100 dmg

and taking 1.5k dmg

and it's like

10% of your hp

[bleak rock]

im just a grumpy bitch

w/e

if u enjoy it yolo fuck em

[wise spire]

i thought you were dumb bitch?

[bleak rock]

can be both

[stone olive]

Theres no Aion2 global though until next year

[wise spire]

yeah, if people are enjoying it then im glad for them, but i just think this game is a classic example of a game taking inspiration from 10 sources and becomming less than the sum of its parts. hype will die down, anmd then the game will die down with it

[oblique jetty]

which i coudl sill cope for that game

[bleak rock]

u can play

very very easily

[wise spire]

one thing that seriously bugs me in the game is some weird inconsistanciees. sometimes its e to interact. sometimes f, sometimes g

[stone olive]

Sure, its always easy to play those games

[wise spire]

every time i approach anything im having to look and see what button im supposed to press

[queen island]

wait there isn't?

i thought it releases 19th november for everyone

[bleak rock]

no

well it does

if u care

but no

u just have 2 play in taiwan

[faint dragon]

wtf is this

[bleak rock]

hit him with the good for u

thats close to a didnt ask

[queen island]

sadge, i was waiting for it...

[faint dragon]

[copper remnant]

yeah that's the minigame i talked about

the translation is.... oof

[faint dragon]

not just the translation but the vocal mixing is so off

[queen island]

[queen island]

it's very impressive for an indie game to become that popular tho

[sweet imp]

I finally got revenge on the bully goose

[south dawn]

fuck this goose lmao

[modest cipher]

wow poor goose

[thick coral]

bros

why is anno so difficult

LOL

that building thing that boosts income and what not

wtf

[shell slate]

was gonna buy anno and then play it

then life happend

next paycheck

[wise spire]

You'll get it soon!

My first attempt was so cursed. My proper run didn't begin till after I started over

[thick coral]

i'm playing the campaign

i finished the 1st act with banne

we gonna do 2nd act on stream

idk if sandbox will feel any different

[wise spire]

i hope oyure enjoying it!

i didnt move on from act 1 yet cause ive been building up

[copper remnant]

i've been watching anno 17 in highest difficulty
it's kinda hilarious
the quality of the island drops a lot
and some people already know some insane deep mechanics

[wise spire]

Tbh you can take a lot from what you learned in 1800 into this, so people who already played a lot of that can hit the ground running in 117

I played bits and pieces of a bunch of them and I'm having fun not meta gaming it and just tak8ng the challenges as they come

[queen island]

i like that you can move buildings in 117

insane qol

[thick coral]

could you not do that in 1800

[queen island]

Hmmm i don't remember

Didn't play it much

But in older games you couldn't

[bleak rock]

i always laugh when i read this stuff

like if youre stealing it to begiun with why does it matter?

[bleak rock]

i like 2 c how deep that shit goes sometimes

reading it on site a, with site b watermark, and site c's note, but stolen from group a who ripped it from group b

etc

[wise spire]

yeah the drama in scan communities is || hilarious || so common

idk why people take so muhc offense that somebody stole their work, when their work to begin with is stolen

[misty crescent]

"You're trying to take what I've rightfully stolen."

[wise spire]

its so dumb. like i guarantee nobody cares about which scan group and editor or translator put the manga in front of their eyes

they dont care if thee stolen chapter was stolen from another gorup. they just care about seeing chapter 117 of whatever theyre trying to read

[shell slate]

If the story is compelling enough its possible but

The one hanna linked rn is mostly mixing some comedy

[wise spire]

yeha i went through the first 6 chapters and its mainly jokey romance wiht a reluctant s/m edge in a game

[bleak rock]

tapping in

[shell slate]

[stone olive]

Steam.

Or ||Epic, if you plan on using a VPN to another country for cheaper prices, aka spendie||

[thick coral]

i found an official launcher

is steam better than that

[stone olive]

Dont think theres any difference other than the fact you can track your play time

You might get hit with the steam maint at times though

[thick coral]

oh seems like theres some graphics thing thats on official launcehr only too

Steam does not offer more than the standard graphics download. Official offers low, standard and someday ultimate.

ill just use steam for now then

looks like theres a migration system if i really want to

Aion 2 launched in KR?

[bleak rock]

2026

[queen island]

nah, Taiwan dollar probably

30 bucks for a skin seems normal pricing for f2p mmo

[bleak rock]

that tracks

[low kraken]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ca4cGoPGVNQ

Yeah this is just crazy

[copper remnant]

hmmm a skin or... silksong

hard choice

[queen island]

is Steal allowed?

if it is, it shouldn't be too difficult, just long and tedious

[low kraken]

Didnt see him mention that or actually use it

I have not finished watching yet

He has been just opening chests in the overworld

[queen island]

damn

[low kraken]

Ok, its now confirmed. Around 49min he says that the steal is not accessible.

[queen island]

[low kraken]

Game would be too easy

wait how did he get bubble on Vaan if he only uses items?

[thick coral]

heard it's p2w

so i'm not gonna bother

[wispy scroll]

The leveling process

Is really fun

Other than that , almost ALL content locked behind lvl 45

Like bro

This is the most extreme case

Of lvl 1 and lvl 45 , no in between

[bleak rock]

Lot of people botted aion 1 for that reason

[shell slate]

i finished a game this year

got through dispatch

[thick coral]

i'm excited to try that out

[noble falcon]

Very decent, stay blind

[thick coral]

gonna be my first time playing interactive vn

[shell slate]

Playing it on or off stream?

[thick coral]

on stream!

[shell slate]

Ah i prob miss it but lmk how ya enjoy it when ur done

[noble falcon]

Part of me wishes I hadn't watched someone

Genuinely great game

[thick coral]

maybe different decisions will affect things a lot

and maybe i will be confident enough to try detroit after dispatch

[shell slate]

I will say

If u can make decisions in dispatch

Detriot will be easy

[thick coral]

but detroit i have to MOVE

its joever

[shell slate]

I wont say why but i spent like 10min paused deciding once

Most come naturally

You will be fine tho

U got chat to bounce ideas off of

But no cheating and polling which option

[sand shuttle]

Detroit I couldn't finish

[shell slate]

Just remember left foot FIRST then RIGHT FOOT

Dont do left foot twicw

Thats how most ppl trip and fall

[sand shuttle]

Scary game

[thick coral]

[shell slate]

Dont be afraid

Ya got this

Ezzzz

When ur done they gonna be like

OH SHIT ITS STAL THE DECIDER

[thick coral]

FNGJKSDFG

[shell slate]

u think im joking but...

sorry its already on the list

its been determined

[steady fable]

💀

[shell slate]

I should delete the date tab

useless

[thick coral]

THE DECIDER

[shell slate]

i already know i wont need to remove this title

ya got this

[steady fable]

id say dispatch is more tame in the decision making parts compared to like detroit

[bleak rock]

On stream!!!!

[steady fable]

so stal should be chilling

[thick coral]

detroit looks more spontaneous

also not very on topic but i wanna play powerwash sim 2..

looks so therapeutic

[shell slate]

it looks good but

it looks like the type of game id need to play coop

good podcast type of vibe

talk about random ass shit type of game

also i use a power washer daily so this will make me sad i dont have some of these attachments irl

the soap dispenser one would be soooo nice to have

liked powerwash for the first few hours but the later levels got a bit too ridiclous and tedious

[thick coral]

yee its a just chatting game

i got dizzy with the first game

but 2nd seemed fine

[shell slate]

could always play it in short bursts

if its like VR

u will prob get more adjusted to it over time

lmao

definitely an interesting choice

[faint dragon]

All the ones already available on steam gets remaster

But I don't see destiny and eternia being remaster

Or even pc ver at that

[unreal osprey]

bamco there are much older games in dire need than berseria

[worthy ridge]

it’s literally calling itself out, qol improvements and dlc included.
Graphics look on par with the ps4 game

[copper remnant]

meh, that doesn't warrant a remaster, it's like a gold/whatever name edition

now this is the good stuff

[final lake]

very unexpected but im down

my favourite tales game for sure

man that main theme always gives me chills its so good

[fossil grotto]

prolly my favorite Tales protag, so I am down, give me that remaster slop Bamco

[low kraken]

Still the only Tales game so far that I have finished

[cobalt spade]

BERSERIA REAMSTER

HOLY

ok but

why?

i thought the point of these remasters was so we could get the older games that are jailed on previous consoles to modern platforms and etc?

isnt berseria already pretty accessible lol

[sand shuttle]

Good question

[cobalt spade]

at this point im convinced they would do an Arise Remaster

[pine vapor]

Need a 3rd tales of symphonia release

Better bundle it with tales of zestria for good measure again

Rerelease with extra small area made with assets of previous area. Maybe a procedural dungeon lol

well, at least our glamour plates are free

glam is free

the old system exists still

this is just some new dumb shit

think of it as ur mogging that slot

rather than the item

so if u replace item

u dont need 2 remog

where as the old system, u mog the item + save the set

that still will exist

[left radish]

im reading the comments and some are saying: "who the fuck needs 20 slots? 1 per hour of the day?"

and in 14 we are all sweating because we only have 20 for 7.4

u get this + the other one

I fell for the EGS exclusivity

[sand shuttle]

i totally didnt buy rebirth and remake twin pack twice

[cobalt spade]

have u played rebirth

[cobalt spade]

Yea i think i talked about it as i was playing it this year

i loved the minigames

until there were too many

[cobalt spade]

i dont

[sand shuttle]

and then i despised them

lmao

[cobalt spade]

TOO many

i finished the game like what, 80ish hours? for first run, even then, im pretty sure 30-40hours were just exploration side quest and minigames

[sand shuttle]

[cobalt spade]

and then the 100% took another 120 hours
