Is it really that bad? Feels like every game post-danganronpa has been pretty kuso... I haven't played rain code yet but the reception also seemed underwhelming. And then there's that gacha game which will probably EoS soon.

It looks like they're adding more Terraria stuff including Eye of Cthulhu, fishing, and more pals and islands.

In bad news apparently you can no longer glide with pals because Nintendo is so petty and patented the concept of gliding with monsters in video games. There's a mod to restore it, though. But damn, that sucks. Video game patents are so retarded.

Got hooked on Ys lately. This month I've beaten 6, 7, 8 and 9. My thoughts on each game...

-6: Very frustrating at times with horrible level designs and dash jumping which is the worst mechanic in vidya ever. Still an ok experience.
-7: First "modern" Ys games as it introduces swappable characters. Lots of fun and there's something about the character designs that I find really charming. Lots of backtracking though and I don't like how some characters just disappear from the party.
-8: Pure masterpiece, no flaws. Gameplay is perfected and the story is really engaging with an amazing ost.
-9: Slight downgrade from 8. The gameplay feels slightly slower and there's a focus on verticality which sometimes causes you to fight with the camera. Still pretty good.

Tempted to buy 10 but I heard they're working on an "enhanced" version. Who knows when that'll be localized though.

I started playing Ys a while ago too, but I didn't get much far because I was playing the original for and not the chronicles version and got distracted with other games. It certainly shows its age.

Maybe I'll go and play the chronicle versions of the first two instead.

I have over 1000 shinies but majority was using method hunts, like horde hunting, pokeradar, friend safari, sos or sandwichs.
I started full odd hunting (1/8192) this year so I have few of them. I have, starter Snivy, the sword of Justice Virizion, Terrakion and Cobalion, Purloin, Patrat, Pidove, Amoonguss, starter Chikorita (pic related), starter Totodile, ratatta, 2 drowsee, 2 sunkern, doduo, nidoran male, hoothoot, 2 chingling, zubat, budew, buneary, dustox, Celebi and safari zone Raticate.
Currently hunting Volcarona and starter Oshawott, over 7k for each of them.
I also have a few full odds 1/4096, but these are kinda harder to track since I don't remember very well. 4 type: null, 4 poipole, 2 surfing pikachu from Ultra sun and Ultra Moon, ash's Pikachu from ultra sun and ultra moon, tentacool, whismur, castform and wingul.

Anon... that is some impressive autism. I'm assuming by 7k you mean 7k resets which is insane. Only time I ever tried for a shiny was doing fossil resets but stopped after a month of no luck.

Not really that's average for full odds hunt (1/8192), but I am definitely going crazy with shiny hunting, 7 DS, 7 pokemon games, played all at the same time for 8 hours per day.
But many people at the shiny hunting community is going crazy nowadays because the only way to transport your shiny Pokemon from old games to the newer games is by using Pokemon bank and Pokemon Bank will most likely close very soon, so we have to get the most amount of shinies before Bank closes.

I pretty much exclusively play Morrowind these days. It's pretty fun and relaxing going on adventures and finding all kinds of cool trinkets. Kinda wish the game was harder in a fun way. Might look into making it more difficult.

Bought 10 because I didn't want to wait. The combat system feels convulated compared to the previous games, way too much shit to keep track of with the dual combat system. Regardless its still pretty fun. 10 really shines with it's story and setting though. I think this might be the best viking inspired media I've experienced in a while. The characters are great and the exploration is as good as Ys 8. The boat sections are also interesting but I'm still trying to get the hang of it. (controls are kind of awkward)

Very much enjoying it so far.

Fantasy Life i is out. There's no way I wouldn't love this game, but I think I'll hold out on buying it for $60. The first game on 3DS is one of my favorite games ever. It's just so relaxing and nice, sort of like an action RPG version of Animal Crossing or Harvest moon. Yeah, like Rune Factory but without farming (I think)? https://store.steampowered.com/app/2993780/FANTASY_LIFE_i_The_Girl_Who_Steals_Time/

Getting back into Nioh 2 after awhile, first playthrough I basically just spammed cyclone on switchglaive. Gonna try learning a more technical playstyle with sword this time I think.
I wanna get the big build-defining endgame sets and gear bonuses but you need to be in like NG+3/4 for it, it's kinda crazy how much gear and stats don't matter for NG considering how much they lootbomb you. Just use higher level stuff, put 20 in every stat and you're done.
Also learned a bit about video compression

I fucking loved Nioh 2 and can't wait for the third, but I never made it through WOTN on it because the grind for the perfect gear got way too hard. Ended up as a spellcaster near the end.

Not really, the only damage is wear and tear, the game soft resetting doesn't damage the 3ds or ds in any way as far as I know.

I'm playing lost word and exedra on mobile, and civ v and vi muted on pc while listening to audiobooks. I don't game as much as I used to.

that's why nioh1 is better, nioh2 with it's various abilities and stuff often turns button mushy, it doesn't matter what gear you have and you don't need to observe stamina bar so closely, you will always be able to do something during combat and then it's just a matter of pure stats

I never played Nioh 1, people said starting at Nioh 2 was fine and the waifu-creator was hard to resist. Are yokai abilities the main combat difference? Transforming into yokai didn't really tingle me and since this game is known for deep skill expression I just decided to crutch on onmyo instead and ignored yokai abilities(burst counter aside). All natural cyclone spammer ᕙ(⇀‸↼')ᕗ

I like all the Team Ninja games I've played but I never bother with the NG+ stuff because after 40~ hours I'm pretty content with the game and don't care to replay all the stages. Which is a bummer since none of the interesting itemization and set bonuses really happen until NG+ in every game so my experience is basically always just equipping the higher number.
I've played and enjoyed Nioh 2, SoP, Wo Long, and RotR.

Never played 1 either, but from the gist of what I was reading it's level design, youkai abilities and shift replacing living weapon, change up in spirit guardians, more enemy variety, new weapon types, and the character being your own. They got rid of PvP but that's good tbdesu, the nebulous game balance isn't trying to juggle the completely different worlds of PvE and PvP. Another big change is tone, there's much more fantasy in 2 where 1 felt more grounded in its era and felt closer to history, not necessarily a bad thing and that's more of personal taste. I personally like the fantastical side and no other game really scratches that itch of japanese mythology and historical fantasy, exterminating youkai is just fun and I want more of it. The story still sucks but it's whatever, could be much better but its not the focus.
I like 2 because the combat is complex and gives you a ton of tools to do what you want to do.

My hope for a third one (if they ever make it) is to just polish what they have in 2, polish includes performance optimization (why is is japan allergic to good PC ports?). Farming could feel a lot better, and some bosses aren't easy to mechanically farm since you have to reset to menu for them. I think tying skill drops to titles or challenges could be cool, I hate the RNG for some of these, but as long as there is a guarantee I don't care how hard it is to accomplish, like beating a boss nohit. Would much rather fight a boss 2 dozen times to git gud over fighting a boss 2 dozen times to pray RNG gives me what I need.

>>155336
That's what bothers me too. Making and customizing your own gear is seen as a waste until at least NG+, until then it's only about getting bigger number in gear.

the story in nioh2 is incomprehensibly trash, and there are several canon conflicts with nioh1 such as for example rokurokubi soldiers that were developed as secret weapons by date clan after sekigahara battle appeared decades earlier in nioh2 like it's nothing as random mobs walking around also they made nobunaga (who was supposed to be a famous demon king in nioh) into a low level mid raid boss while hideyoshi became a literal demon king with literal horns and demons serving him

nioh1 has also more memorable stage design, I still remember stages like sekigahara, the first village, and both osaka castle sieges by heart, while from nioh 2 I forgot pretty much everything in a couple of years time
