You make your guns based on how many slots you have
Other than size restriction
You can put 3 guns on one arm

i kinda prefer tower of guns to mothergunship tbh
what would you say theres a lot of variety between runs in this game? considering getting it but doesnt seem like there are too many guns to pick from
forest stirrup
there are actually quite a few guns; some you can start with, and some can only be found in a run
there's a lot of variety in terms of that, the various upgrades, secrets, variable stages, etc.
it's very indie and very budget
but fun for what it offers

I don't even know what that means but I'm sure a keyboard would be better. This ...
It's mostly used for fighting games directional inputs. Basically it's easier to do on a stick than a keyboard or controller.

QFCs on keyboard are pretty doable, it's half-circles I've heard are the real pain

what if, hear me out, you connect a wacom tablet and use that instead
just draw half a circle

I actually made Zag as a Miitopia character
but you can't use him because I refuse to pay for NSO
polar dragon
What's miitopia?
coral hawk
its kinda an rpg where you use mii faces
and the story is stopping the demon king from using your face
but since it all used mii faces you can get like "idol obama" and stuff like that
and its about seeing the miis react together in funny and wacky ways
its a cute game to watch people go through
untold hornet
Oh! Miitopia!!
Miitopia is fun!!
I got my hands on it yesterday and its all I've been playing
scenic wigeon
it is fun
but in my mind it's nothing without the ability to use other people's Miis
which you can't use without NSO
untold hornet
Yeah...
scenic wigeon
at the very least though, I can use my friends in the game
untold hornet
I have no friends to use so I just throw in characters from various medias

I think another bigger spin wheel does the trick.
Or just by favorite characters.

oh like which characters rory chooses? and how rory goes about choosing the char...
yeah
i know miitopia is all about custom characters in an rpg
but thats about it
how many can you have? is there a cap?
idk i never played it
untold hornet
you can have a total of 4 team members! (If you include the character you choose at the start of the game which you play as throughout the game)
junior crown
Plus all NPCs can be turned into any character of course.
Also hope if Royal did end up in the team he was mage!
bleak coral
So the protagonist and 3 others? makes sense
oh you can change all the npcs?

stable kindle
u realize it's deliberately aimed at a more younger audience right
like, everyone enjoys pokemon but ultimately the primary audience is children
polar dragon
Yeah but also $45 for 1/3 of a setup for one character is not child friendly.
But as for the gameplay itself, I think it's fine for a MOBA on mobile
The P2W is not
rugged fjord
Mechanically, it looks alright.
P2W though. For a genre that lives and dies on its roster
lusty pendant
it's mobile? I thought it was on Switch
broken smelt
it's on both
rugged fjord
Yeah but also $45 for 1/3 of a setup for *one* character is not child friendly.
Can you elaborate?
$45 for 1/3 of a setup for a single character? What?
broken smelt
you can spend 45$ on premium currency for which then you do a thing (I forget the specifics) to level up an equipable item to the max lvl of 30
broken smelt
yes 
rugged fjord
I could buy Hades twice over with that money!
polar dragon
$45 for 1/3 of a setup for a single character? What?
So each character has 3 item slots. So technically you can reuse some items for different characters, depending on playstyle. The strict 1/3 for each character is certainly a bit misleading I admit because of this re-equipping of items but still, starting out you still need 3 for your first "main."
Your options of getting a maxed items (which grants in game combat bonus like health, damage, cd, etc) are
$45
Or
400+ days playing the game
dire warren
sounds like p2w
lusty pendant
its very P2W you literally buy permanent powerups with money
polar dragon
I guess in some sense it's capped P2W
But still
$100+ dollar for a full set is outrageous
lusty pendant
true and also true
was thinking of giving it a shot since my fave Absol is in it, but realized one probably needs Switch Online...
lusty pendant
huh , guess that makes sense
gentle cloak
it's almost like Switch Online and similar programs are a scam or something
lusty pendant
Switch Online (and pokemon bank) are legit such scams. Switch Online basically paywalled a previously free feature.
heavy kiln
Just to clear that up, you actually don't need Nintendo Online for free2play games like Pokemon Unite or Sky, fortunately
coral hawk
its not p2w everyone who is saying that is comparing a lv1 item to a lv30 item. you can easily get lv 20 items without paying and the difference between lv20 and lv30 item is nothing
Its still stupid you can buy the upgrade but its not as bad as everyone says it is
still a bad game though lmao
polar dragon
its not p2w everyone who is saying that is comparing a lv1 item to a lv30 item. ...
Free to play, pay to be competitive
Since the amount of payment you need is capped, technically it's not paying and winning, you need skills, still
But to be competitive you need to pay
coral hawk
not really because again the difference between what you can get through playing and paying is not a huge difference. especially now that the game has been out for a while there are plenty of people who have hit the same power spike that the paying players did
For the record I'm not defending the game in any way its still disgusting that you can pay for upgrades. but it has minimal impact at this point
polar dragon
not really because again the difference between what you can get through playing...
are you sure? because someone did the calc and a player who spends nothing would take more than a year to get a maxed item
the game is out for 2 months
if you grind 24/7 then maybe
but who spends 24/7 grinding for one set?
and if you want to compare level 20 vs say 30, that's still a large discrepancy
coral hawk
its really not. yes its a larger number but its not a huge difference. than say a lv1-30 item
also plenty of people have hit the top of the leader board without spending a cent
polar dragon
but its not a huge difference
I think it is. And even if it's not, you would never want any disadvantage playing a MOBA game
that's what competitive means

"People act stunned when Nintendo releases something overwhelmingly greedy, as if such behaviour is only for the EAs and the Activisions of the world" todays jimquisition lmao which. yeah. like i said, i'm not particularly surprised bc ninty's previous mobile games are already monetized to hell, and apparently everyone's already forgotten about those
any future mobile game nintendo releases will have vile levels of monetization in them, that at this point is simply fact. i guess its not talked about as much bc its nintendo? but like. they're not above it

Super Mario 3D All-Stars, where Ninty ported 3 old Mario games into a switch cart (64, Sunshine and Galaxy iirc) and sold it for 60 bucks, with minimal add-on content and QoL features that emulators had since forever. Then made it a limited edition run even for the digital version
scenic wigeon
ohhhhhhhh
for some reason I thought you were talking about 3D World + Bowser's Fury
stable kindle
regarding the video, i understand the point about "pokemon since its inception has been designed to exploit children" but i dont think back then it was like. deliberate maliciousness. the trading was part of the design, the concept of pokemon was inspired by literally collecting and trading bugs. a few version exclusives is annoying but we made a lot of friends on the playground that way, looking to trade for pokemon we didnt have. i think the series continuing to engage in version exclusives when it really has no right to do so 8 generations in is whats exploitative
a lot of pokemon's initial marketing when red/blue came out emphasized the trading aspect and it was something we liked to do to trade pokemon between friends and take care of them and stuff because there werent really other games that let you do something like that as effectively, so i disagree that it was designed from the onset to exploit kids. the trading in the first games were part of its charm. but tech has advanced enough such a thing is obsolete and pokemon company still engages in it
lusty pendant
why would it be more exploitative if the barriers preventing people from getting version exclusives is obsolete?
doesn't that make collecting all the pokemon easier? I'd say what's more exploitative is porting that concept to Pokemon Go, since a few pokemon are made to be egg exclusives to push incubator sales
stable kindle
its more cynical to me because there's no reason 20 years into the series people still need to trade for version exclusives other than $$$
the concept of version exclusive anything in the current point of gaming is an obsolete ideal that really has no place in the current environment
scenic wigeon
why?
stable kindle
can you give me any good reason we should keep version exclusives and two different but identical games that have bare minimum differences
scenic wigeon
I can't, good point
but what if it was not a bare minimum difference, but a more pronounced difference
lusty pendant
so why was it more okay 20 years ago
scenic wigeon
so why was it more okay 20 years ago
👆
stable kindle
nostalgia, part of the charm, like i said. which i have just fully acknowledged is nostalgia. but my point is that in its inception i do not think it was an intentionally malicious act. at this part of the series's life cycle, it is
pokemon got lucky and became a massive success, it was not made with the intent of being such
no one makes a new ip thinking, this thing is going to be super popular and well loved all around the world, which is why i say i dont think the trading/exclusives in its inception were deliberately meant as some maliciously exploitative thing, but the property is now like THE highest grossing ip in the world, which changes how you perceive it dramatically
if any of what im saying makes sense
lusty pendant
so the same action is more acceptable when it's a small franchise trying to generate sales/talking points, less so when the franchise is larger and can have enough revenue anyway
crimson fossil
I remember being very annoyed at having to play 3 versions of a MMBN games to get all the sick chips(probably less than 10 exclusive per ver)
maybe it was only 2, but regardless
lol
lusty pendant
because by releasing 2 games with basically the same content, there has to be an intent on driving sales behind it, but the label we put on that action is different now that pokemon is a large franchise
stable kindle
i think we need to remember that the gaming landscape 20 years ago and the gaming landscape now are two entirely different beasts
twin yarrow
also we should consider prices for GameBoy and prices for Swish
even with inflation and stuff
lusty pendant
I think the "Nintendo is more exploitative" now argument is still stronger when based on other aspects (like prices, as stated above)
and pokemon bank
they're trying to milk the collection aspect harder with every generation
stable kindle
sorry that 11 year old me thought it was fun to get together with friends during lunch and do trades because in the late 90s it was a novel concept and something that was very easy for children to bond over because this was two decades ago and multiplayer options in games were limited on multiple levels, which is why, again, keeping nostalgia in mind, i'm more forgiving to the initial conception of the two version idea, but not to its continued existence, because the gaming industry as a whole has advanced beyond the need to keep such archaic ideals ¯_(ツ)_/¯
lusty pendant
but it isn't any less fun now to trade with friends than before
twin yarrow
for that you have to have friends
lusty pendant
or friends who play the same games as you

we have internet and global trading now lmao there's just. really no reason the two version model needs to exist any longer beyond the fact pokemon has always done it

"POX is Hasbro's new wireless electronic game. It is geared for boys (and girls) ages 8 to 13. Using mouse-sized, radio-controlled "POX Containment Units" with three-inch LCD screens, the goal of the player is to save the earth from the spread of an alien DNA by firing off more toxic strains of the spores via heads, torsos, and tails and across three different-colored species: Spino, Cycro and Plasmo.
Players within 30 feet of one another (POX is a LOT more fun when playing against other players, rather than alone) automatically detect and infect one another -- whether they like it or not. The youngsters like the "sneaky" aspect to this game, not realizing that this is educational in itself, in that they are developing and honing their strategy skills, which is an added bonus to parents and to the children themselves.
They "win" libraries of superior POX strains, which they store and use in future wars. I don't wish to leave you under the impression that these games are exceedingly violent, I would term them rather "exciting". The players are fighting aliens (which are reminiscent of Tamagachi and Pokemon) rather than "eachother", that carry viruses, and also strive to prevent becoming infected themselves.
There's no cutting-edge wireless technology here, no "hard-core" gaming strategy involved, and relatively tame graphic violence since the screen is small"

well, to cut out the insults and mockery, the literal only piece of advice i got was that i'm bad at the game and won't make it
so, as much as i don't want to, i'm putting it down, because i can see no other explanation than that they're right

i think i actually made a comment in that vid with my opinions on it lol
polar dragon
I respect his opinions but there are a decent amount of double standards in the video.
For example: 30+ heat is mostly about stats bump and limited healing in Hades which makes it boring. But DC Boss Cells limiting healing suddenly makes the game more varied because you need to approach it differently with different paths.
At least the guy is knowledgeable about both games so kudos to him.
dire saffron
mans called guan yu bad and thats when i went "huh, ok ig :/"
like honestly in terms of difficulty scaling i find it that hades makes it difficult by limiting you and forcing you to learn fundamentals while dead cells gives you more options to handle the harder stuff

Yup I rage quit because of the no hit door. Not a single mention of that. I understand that this is "late game only" where unlocks aren't a problem.
But if you title your video "difficulty design" you are misleading people when you only discuss the late game which less than half the player base will see for both games.

oh yeah I seen that video, I don't really agree with the video due to pure fact it doesn't factor how pretty much they deal with different things to factor in and aim for different stuff, they have their own weaknesses, but so the strengths. So saying one is better is like "oh I just think this one does a better to appealing to me mechanically".

Saying "30+ heat is only about stat bumps and limiting healing" also completely ignores how the pact is incredibly customisable even into high heat to make something that is difficult but also possible for the maximum number of people doing it.
It also reeks of a fundamental misunderstanding of the purpse of the pact to begin with

Saw this. Juicy stuffs to make convos for days 
Imo, Hades does have a better difficulty system, just because of how open it is, but it also comes with the problem of too many choices
Even in this channel, beginners still shy away from TD and UC on the pact since it looks like it is more difficult than the conditions at the top of the pact list (extra monster health, damage, density, etc)
When the truth is, those two are probably the easiest conditions to start with
DC tho, is straight up simple step-by-step difficulty system

polar dragon
in the video they say you can win consistently on Hades (but not in DC), which is kinda true. i can indeed win consistently on 32 heat, say 80+% win rate, if not more. they also say people like to win more than they lose. this implies that Hades is not challenging enough, people only like it because it pretends to be challenging.
but in the same vid, they also say they can consistently clear 5BC so, like, is DC not hard enough then because you can win consistently?

This is basically the byproduct of a customizable difficulty
32 heat can be as hard or as easy as the conditions you use, and it can vary wildly depending on player choice
Probably an error on his side because it looks like he’s saying that everyone runs the same pact setups

this convo just reminded me of why I dropped Yoshi's Island despite being a platformer fan - perfect clears in some stages need you to basically no-hit past a certain point too
polar dragon
the only thing i agree with him is that DC does have more paths and biomes, you aren't locked into only 4 biomes and that's indeed something DC does better than Hades.
but that's not difficulty, that's just diversity in general, which Hades is slightly less so compared to other roguelites if im being honest.
sleek quiver
True, it’s just trying to model the game to conform to varying play styles, if that makes sense
Some builds in DC require you to just not go into certain biomes just because you’ll have a harder time there because of said build

In the original Japanese dub, he had an Osakan accent - that was supposed to help players know that he was kind of a funny character. That would be lost on English-speaking folks, though, so they decided to substitute it for a Welsh accent.

character voice is one of harder things to convey in localization. like there's this japanese satire novel with title "Wagahai wa Neko De Aru" which is translated to "I am a cat".
When jp people see this title, it's instantly momerable, because 'wagahai' is a grandiose, (pretentious even) first person pronoun. It's archaic and only nobility would use it. How a translator would convey all that in a title, I have no idea 😆

i heard, Ice-pick Lodge played a bit with old language in some games
someday i'll probably try Pathologic, but time-limited games scare me away.. had to drop original Subnautica bc of that

5hours in, this overall children-vibe (fairy-tale vibe?) of Ni No Kuni makes it a somewhat pleasant game to play, ngl
No-pressure, just-go-and-kick-ass without much dark-and-gloomy atmosphere
I should play more games like these, instead of demons and dragons and zombies

what about it?

Just got caught up with the hands-on week
People seems to caught on my initial thoughts on it
Real price point is $530, not $400
Still though, looks like something people don’t mind
I’ve seen people defending it is $400
My more tech-enthusiast friends all say it’s a good step for Linux gaming
They were literally not interested at all at first, until I mentioned it ran Linux

you definitely wont be getting the most out of it at the 400 dollar price point, but the 400 dollar one is still substantially more of a machine than a switch.

yeah, but
emulators
and tbh the Switch and the Steam Deck are two different products, they have some overlap but i dont think they are competing for the same market

Well, yeah, it will always be that way, since you’re already shelling out $100 more than a Switch
If you really want the best the Steam Deck offers though, the faster storage is really what you’ll want rather than emmc

Everyone’s been rather bummed with how Fantasian is an Apple Arcade exclusive right now, meanwhile I’ve been here, subscribed to AA and have the game installed since it came out, yet never have touched it since then
Since I have my Switch, I almost never game on my phone anymore, aside from some occasional quick fix of auto-chess games
woven breach
Still pretty bumped world of demons is AA exclusive
sleek quiver
That as well

I hadn't even heard of this until you brought it up and I'm already annoyed it exists

Some of these AA exclusives does eventually drop on other more traditional platforms, like the Switch, but it’s a long wait

Idk, people are pretty hype for it, especially the low-spec gaming crowd
It’s pretty much a cheap PC setup, or looks like it, idk really
sleek quiver
Oh boy imagine we start seeing Steam Deck exclusives 😟
It will certainly help to boost sales!
twin yarrow
If it will have price of a low-tier laptop, then maybe.. But f it's price will be comparable with switch's then idk.. Switch still would have more attention
sleek quiver
True
crimson fossil
I think the point of the steam deck isn't to have exclusives, it's to be a more powerful switch like thing that can play most of the not insane demands steam library, and emulate tbh
sleek quiver
Tbh, the Steam Deck is really for people who isn’t really into Nintendo and more into Steam, same like what you say
I mean, most games that people want to play is on both platforms these days
Even all (or maybe almost all?) the games they demo for the Steam Deck is also available on the Switch
Control is cloud-only
So, I think it’s more for people who isn’t too deep into the Nintendo ecosystem and was already deep on Steam instead
Hence, catered for different audiences
Plus, low-spec gaming pc, that is also a handheld, super big savings as you don’t need a second device, it’s a one device for all, I guess. This one is definitely just my two cents
crimson fossil
Yeah like I for one am not to crazy for Nintendo. Don't care about pokemon. Smash is emulatable, and mh rise is getting a steam port early next year. So the deck is perfect for someone like me, who has a PC and ps5 for high demand stuff. And wants to have my steam library(I love pixel games and stuff like Hades and that tier of game) and emulate on the go without lugging around a full laptop. So for ME, it's ideal. Glad mine ships December lol
sleek quiver
It’s already August and they say the hardware they’re showing off right now is still isn’t final, yet first orders ships at December

I can see why people wouldn't be as hype as me, but for me personally it checks alot more boxes than a switch does for not much more. And I can run clip studio paint and stuff like that on it. No brainer for me
sleek quiver
How many did they already sell off via pre-orders?

I can see why people wouldn't be as hype as me, but for me personally it checks ...
Understandable
crimson fossil
Probably insane amounts. People thinking it's not gonna be that popular are crazy. Wether it's good or not is a different discussion, but the demand is absurd right now and will only be dropped if it has major issues
And it seems like every time there's more info made available and more hands on time is had, only more and more positives are coming from those things. I'd have expected major flaws to come to light, with people being able to be the first to blow up the deck for "this major issue" when everyone else is praising it. And that surprisingly hasn't happened yet. I won't hold my breath to hard, but it's looking promising
sleek quiver
Well, yeah, because so far only the press has had their hands-on time on it
I doubt there will be major issues tbh, and even the Switch has major issues, but hey, it still sells
crimson fossil
Right. I'm pretty pumped regardless. I look at it as, I only have 5 down, if before launch it turns out to be ass, I just won't buy it and get my 5 back. Or if it's not ass, but not great, I'll dust craigslist it and get a free couple hundred dollars since I'm getting first wave. Or it'll be exactly what I hope it is and I'll have this awesome thing lol. Either way, no risk, high reward. So why not

In MHW, you can make an auto message when a certain action/event happened like, your teammate fainted. I put "Another One Bites The Dust" whenever someone fainted. Thing was, they censored the Bites. So it displayed "Another One ***** The Dust"
Which makes it a lot more inappropriate than it actually is
