Has the same shitty controls of the original.

best bit of that game is where you do quick time events to um do Aphrodite

the old god of war games are kind of abhorrent imo

But for $3!
My favourite God of War game is using Kratos as an Everybody's Golf character.

That is my jam tbh.

Child of Light, which has been on my wishlist forever and was one of the first interesting looking games for the system imo, is $6. Anybody want to rep?
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Friday, 21 December 2018 22:16 (five years ago) link
i didn't like it
― ciderpress, Friday, 21 December 2018 23:57 (five years ago) link
hm, okay. i may try the demo
― Fuck the NRA (ulysses), Saturday, 22 December 2018 03:29 (five years ago) link
it had a pretty basic/boring ATB-esque combat system with a real-time wrinkle the problem was i didn't think the real-time wrinkle was fun. there's a pretty big opportunity cost to adding a real-time mechanic to a turn based system imo and this was definitely Not It
the thing where the entire script is in rhyme was more grating than cute to me as well but ymmv on that
― ciderpress, Saturday, 22 December 2018 05:06 (five years ago) link
agreed on the rhyming stuff, started skipping it after a whileI liked the battle system a bit more, but it outstayed its welcome in what is a relatively short gameoverall it's an OK game but there are so many better choices out there, something like Cosmic Star Heroine is a lot more fun all round

some sort of enhanced version or port of P5 is heavily rumoured to be announced in the next few days, maybe hold off until then?https://personacentral.com/persona-5-r-announcement-imminent-official-domain-updated/

tracer how are you (and kids) enjoying DRIVE CLUB
― there are no good podcasts (||||||||), Thursday, 27 December 2018 23:36 (five years ago) link
it has real cars and takes a bit of skill but it's like the anti-GT in terms of just throwing you into it, zero setup required, plus allowing you to perform ridiculous drifts, which is exactly what i need right now in my life
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Friday, 28 December 2018 04:01 (five years ago) link
however if you have played a lot of GT you have a lot of "unlearning" to do, mainly in terms of braking. in GT you need to slam on the brakes for a long, realistic amount of time just before corners. in driveclub, you just tap the brakes slightly and that's enough.
also, no local 2-player split screen :(

the p5 thing turned out to be an announcement of an announcement so if you dont want to wait until march to find out how long you have to wait to get the enhanced p5 then go for it
― ciderpress, Monday, 31 December 2018 20:25 (five years ago) link
might just bag it now

I finished the first Gravity Rush and have started on the second, and even watched the short anime -- which was really good and funny! The games are pretty charming too.

cold steel 3 being announced as a ps4 exclusive means i get to play the "do i really buy one of these for 2 games" game later this year
― ciderpress, Thursday, 17 January 2019 14:22 (five years ago) link
if there's one more exclusive i care about that shows up or if persona 5 doesn't end up on switch then i'll go for it
― ciderpress, Thursday, 17 January 2019 16:11 (five years ago) link
I'm going to try to make Gravity Rush 2 happen here. Played it a bunch last night and it was the perfect breezy fast paced game, although it's taken a while for the game to reach this point.
― Oleeever St. John Yogurty (Leee), Saturday, 19 January 2019 17:57 (five years ago) link
i'm somewhat interested in it, as i said upthread it looks great in gifs

the GR games look cool but end up in the eternal backlog

There's a delightful scene set in a jazz club which kind of captures the essence of this game: awkward and stuttering but slowly fills in its empty spaces with charm and magic. And later, the new powers that you get which give even MOAR magic. And the dialogue, even though it's mostly unvoiced (and even when it is, it's just a Japanese interpretation of what French sounds like (which really is even more delight)), is so well written and funny.
I should also mention the visceral delight of just crashing into the ground and through things.
― Oleeever St. John Yogurty (Leee), Saturday, 19 January 2019 22:54 (five years ago) link
There is a side quest where you have to fill up a meter called DOGGY JOY.
(Sadly, that side quest is otherwise unfun.)

can't decide whether it's worth paying a little more to have it on the switch...
― Mordy, Friday, 25 January 2019 21:46 (five years ago) link
Alright, i'll finally give this a shot; seems like it's very much up my alley.

Probably not...but I've paid 15 anyway.
