    Brave Frontier

    Hoooly fuck. 3 summons last night : Ranma, Luly, something else shitty. Then, today - two summons: Oguro (G), Raaga (b). Wtf. I haven't had that kinda luck in months.

    Heh, good to know - my lineup will be almost indistinguishable. Also wtb a decent rateup. If i didn't already have Rosetta & Fang (? both) this one would be legit.

    Witcher 3

    Antiquated relic that I am, I still vastly prefer jrpg's, but Witcher 3 is the only game of its type I've spent more than 20 hours on. 50ish and counting.

    Witcher 3

    Yeah, that's no small problem for me. I shoulda played Inquisition first.

    E3 2015

    You can cherrypick an ostensibly valid criticism and deploy it to slam pretty much any game you want. Mario and Zelda fail on all 3 of your criticisms, Halflife on two, GTA on two to three, Witcher on two, etc etc

    E3 2015

    It was honestly probably fine, but Nintendo Nintendoized it. They're the hest developers in history, imo, but they used to have a tendency to kiddify games that migrated over to their platforms. Tactics Advance dropped the delightfully incoherent and convoluted plot that oddly endeared me to the...

    E3 2015

    That Tactics sequel on GBA sucked. If I had any confidence they could make a worthy successor to Tactics, I'd be all over that. That game was astounding prescient in its focus on fundamentally addictive microgrinding for massive power gains. Rpg's still haven't caught up to it

    Witcher 3

    Just beat the old lady in Novigrad in Gwent, whereupon Geralt asked her if there was any other competition to look for, whereupon she answered affirmatively, whereupon I didn't receive a new or updated quest! Anybody remember what she said? All she does now is offer me prostitutes.

    Cautiously excited. Hope it has addictive title bonuses like Graces also no other similarities to Graces

    I'm just hoping for evidence that Star Ocean 5 will be amazing. I love that series so much I even enjoyed 4.

    I hope it doesn't have basilisks. Those things scare the fuck out of me and I have no idea why.

    Witcher 3

    The other problem is the retarded xp system. For about half the game now my policy has been to choose the lowest level quests available for fear of running out of xp later. The problem - aside from robbing the game of any challenge - is that it doesn't appear to be sustainable. There's no way...

    Witcher 3

    Le sigh - was really enjoying this game Finished Family Matters and started wandering north to Novigrad. Level 12, all quests contrqcts etc level 10 and lower cleared. Then I pick up another fucking 15 on the way to Triss and still have like 4 noticeboards in southern and eastern Velen I...

    Ouch, somehow missed that her SBB only hits 18 times.

    Brave Frontier

    Happy fuckup yesterday! Had enough for a summon ticket so I was like aww, wtf let's blow it! Turns out I forgot to remove it from the inbox so used 5 gems. Pulled a Griel (b). Seems pretty good and all my 7* nonstarters are Guardian. Not sure what to do with her - could replace Fei and...

    Dark Souls 3

    Yearly releases seem to me to be ideal until they're proven not to be. If it turns out to be a half-assed endeavor, they'll need to decelerate series development. I'd certainly love a new Souls every year, though.

    Spring 2015 Anime Thread

    I didn't think episode 1 sucked, but it was pretty clear very early on in episode 2 that it was better.

    Thank you Rerolled for the effusive praise for Food Wars that I initially thought ridiculous but now find more than justified! On episode 2 and this show is all kinds of awesome!

    Denamian, just sent you the request I told you I'd send like a week ago! (Balzmir). Trying a Kikuri lead for the moment. Usually Kanon

    Brave Frontier

    I have Ivris and Elimo unusedso only 3 7* in ky squad - Kanon, Selena, Kikuri. I don't wanna ditch Fei and Fang. Elimo will probably replace Shera for demandijg content though

    Alright, thanks!. F2p here, too - never paying for this shit again after what happened during last rate up.

    Brave Frontier

    Damn. I already had her. Stupid unit transformed from Anima to Guardian when I 6*ed her - the only type change I've ever had - but I ain't mad anymore. edit: Should I pull for Sefia with a few summons? Don't know anything about her and only 35 gems. Or is Kikuri the star of the batch?
  23. D

    Brave Frontier

    Man, Kikuri is a beast. Replaced Maxwell with her and I'm not gonna look back - she goes a long way toward mitigating the BB/damage penalties of having a Kanon lead. Guardian or not, I love her!

    MUDs, MOOs, and You

    I played a lot of Holomud circa 1996 when I was like 12. Long hiatus thereafter until I picked up dreams around 2006 and played it pretty much all through that year. Haven't played any since. I do enjoy MUDS, though.

    Dark Souls 3

    Naughty Dog has a crew of alchemist programmers that consistently coax more out of limited material than I'd consider possible, they hire better writers and actors than any other gaming dev that I can think of, and everything they release is innovative enough and polished enough to force me to...

    Any word as to whether Miyazaki is spearheading this? Dark Souls 2 was just fine without him, but I'd still prefer to know he's at the helm.

    Witcher 3

    Game is growing on me - I really like it now - but it looks pretty bad on PS4 imo. Maybe my TV is weird, but Bloodborne looked better.

    Witcher 3

    The reception for this game here is interesting and inclines me to give it another go. Initial impressions were almost universally positive -verypositive - but the consensus seemed to be that it didn't live up to the hype. Fast forward to the past few days and you guys are much, much more...

    The Sci-Fi Book Thread

    Reading Anathem right now. Loved Cryptonicon, Snow Crash, even Reamde, but this book is driving me nuts. I can't stand books that barrage readers with invented terms. Gonna give it til at peast page 100 - I owe him that much. After that, who knows.

    Brave Frontier

    I lost on first attempt to Sefia. Kanon, friend Feeva, Shera, F&F, Maxwell and - accidentally - Cardes. I just autoed it at work. Lost sometime during 4th fight.

    How do you learn real good?

    I think that's the norm. When I mention to people that have taken the calculus series that I thought 3 was the hardest they always say calc 2 was harder. I did have an awful, awful calc 3 professor, so that might have something to do with it. Edit: not sure what you mean re the hypocrisy of...

    How do you learn real good?

    This is pretty much exactly what I did in Calc 2 and 3. The first time I saw a power series/series expansion I flipped the fuck out. Then I looked at.it again and said, "Alright - how can I tame you?" Same with Greene's/Stokes and all that shit in Calc 3. Sounds like mental subterfuge, but I...

    Yep, wanna evolve my Kikuri...and pray she reverts back to Anima. Though if her stat distribution at 7* falls in line with current numbers, just higher, it'll be alright. Kanon as guardian doesn't even break 2k though without imps. Maybe not even 1900.

    Cool, will add you later. You'll replace one of my half dozen remaining Zelnite friends. His leader is more trouble than it's worth.

    Brave Frontier

    Grats, man - I'd love a non-Shera mitigator. I myself am clinging tenaciously to Ishad's claim that the 7*'s aren't yet required. It's the only thing keeping me going atm. Up to 20 gems, thanks to FH, and I'm not going to summon more than one time until a truly decent rate-up occurs. If one ever...

    Brave Frontier

    Yeah, I gave up Summoners War for this game because I was under the impression that great units were more common in BF than SW. That's definitely true due to the tiering system in SW - 4 and especially 5* draws are - at least when I played - exceedingly rare, whereas in BF there are dozens of...
