Who said it was a commercial failure? Ever?

I'm able to pause it but it doesn't seem too terribly helpful.

Understood. What method are you using to hands-free autobattle on a PS5? You can turn on the option for auto-battle but you still have to generate random battles by moving around, yeah?

The Jedi are in Chaos? What fucking Jedi? That's the best she can do?

Well the exact mechanics of the Echo Screen trick are my main confusion. Am I right that what needs to be done is the first ability a party member uses needs to be Echo Screen to kick this whole shindig off? Or as soon as you use another non-Echo non-Slots ability does the index get re-updated...

What's the harm in rest mode? As mentioned, it downloads updates and can charge controllers in rest mode, so I'm not seeing the benefit of turning it off completely. It gets rebooted occasionally due to system file updates anyway, so I think I've turned mine off a grand total of 3-4 times ever...

None of what you listed out has anything to do with the underlying engine though. You can add more options and flashy things but if the engine is still clunky and unresponsive, the combat will still feel bad (to some people). He quoted it as being clunky compared to Elden Ring or Bloodborne...

Exactly why I bring my olympic size swimming pool wherever I go, in case of bee attack

To make sure I understand that nerd speak, in plain terms: 1) start a battle including Setzer in party 2) have the first thing anyone does be use an Echo Screen 3) use slots, and due to the Echo Screen, Joker's Death will be AVAILABLE (because nerd magic) 4) use the pause bug/feature to help...

Season 1 is your typical pretty-good-but-raw season of an up and coming show. 2-7ish are the fantastic shit. 8-10 are hit and miss, and 11 and beyond start to go way downhill and way too political and current-thing. Most recent season was pure garbage so I expect this upcoming season to be...

Simply wishing clowns would stop clowning has never produced results.

Yup. The game was played and enjoyed IN SPITE of the horrible durability mechanic that literally nobody liked or enjoyed. I guess that says a lot about the game's inherent quality, but at the same point it says a lot about the designers that they couldn't observe the intense dislike for their...

Bummer, the clunky unresponsive combat was my primary gripe with the first one. Might pick it up on sale down the line, meh.

Yup, banged that one out in a couple days awhile back, was a solid game.

Lol I one-rounded Omega with dual wield Thundaga spellblade Rapid Fire. Thanks for the tip on FF7! Didn’t know that existed, I’ll definitely check it out.

Stingray in 5 took me longer than Warmech in 1. You must have really lucked into some of the blue magic stuff, or you really knew what you were doing. 5 was definitely the most involved thus far. I’m sure 6 will be similarly involved, at least because it does a world change too.

I'll also add, it has been delightful to play these all in order back to back and watch how the games evolved in each iteration. While in some cases they experimented with mechanics going back and forth, other things like graphics (obviously), art style, level design, etc. all continued to make...

It didn’t take long to wrap everything up actually, once I put on the 4x ABP boost. With that, grinding out the jobs in the final dungeon took an hour tops. Even without Movers spawning, the other basic fights were 100+ ABP per fight on 4x. You can grind the whole gamut pretty damn quick at that...

Bleh, if I had known this I'd have cranked boost up to 4x on ABP earlier on. Ah well, just gotta find a good grind spot. On the last dungeon, Interdimensional Rift or whatever. Still need to kill Omega and Shinryu.

Oh for fuck's sake I'm just now learning you have to master all jobs on ONE char to get that last trophy. The previous trophies were fooling me because they were taking into account global masteries.

FF5 - Jesus they really ramped up the annoying in this one. Overall it's been really fun and probably a step up from all previous (story or characters or something isn't as catchy as 4, can't put my finger on it), but fuck's sake some of the enemies/bosses are just 11/10 annoying. It doesn't...

Lolwut? Elden Ring a gamble?

Come on man, you're a bit of a vicious cunt yourself so I was just responding to your snipe with you as a known quantity on these forums. But fair enough, it probably wasn't necessary as this particular snipe wasn't vicious. So, apologies. Whatever you posted about Poison is absolutely not true...

No, dice were completely removed from PF2e. Now you ask if the monster consents to being hit by your weapon/spell, and then go into a negotiation on how much damage should be done. You do get your negotiation bonus though.

Yes, plats on Pixel Remasters 1-4. Just started 5, looking forward to a revisit to the job system in a better fleshed out overall character paradigm. I also have never played this one so yay! I'm playing each of these with no boost until the end, so it's taking a bit longer than your posted...

Ah yes, see I'm glad I asked. Of course I'm aware of all of this, that's why I qualified my statement with "George Lucas" and "nostalgia" rather than use a much more generic unclear statement. In fact that's exactly why I compared it to George Lucas specifically, because in the wake of his...

What’s the irony

What the fucking fuck, they changed the Spoon to a Knife? These remaster fuckwads! These games are great overall, but the George Lucas style artistic license shit is rustling my nostalgia quite a bit.

I’m also rustled that the Scan spell appears to not work on bosses anymore. I can get the “Bestiary” item to work, but never the white magic spell. I always loved opening boss fights with that spell.

In the remaster? I’m trying to reconcile my memory of poison wrecking you with it doing nothing to me at all in the PR.

Im not even talking about player spells, I mean when enemies poison me. My whole team was poisoned at one time early in the game and I was panicked worrying about getting antidotes out before people died… but it did exactly nothing. Did not have any effect at all until back on the overworld...

Finished plats on 2 and 3, working on 4 now. 3 was definitely longer and more involved than the prior two, and overall I enjoyed it a bunch. Shame most of the jobs aren’t really useful. On 4, is it just me or does poison do nothing in battle anymore? It used to erode your hp gradually like the...

Weird, when I watch that trailer I don't see a single attractive person, and many who are downright ugly.

Those two changed songs -- Jabba's palace musical number, and the end finale celebration song -- still trigger me to this day.

Well performance is different from the controls feeling sluggish and unresponsive, but yeah I'm sure it's the same engine with the same issues.

First game felt sluggish and unresponsive, I'd want to hear that's improved in this one. I'm willing to bet it is not improved, though.

The story/lore of the 2nd one was for sure a big reason why I was much less impressed with it compared to the first, and why I was going to be very unlikely to follow the series beyond it. The woke shit just makes that decision a ton easier.

Is this a ChatGPT Zork?

Hire ugly bug-eyed actress/model, get ugly bug-eyed results. Can't explain that!

For sure so far in my playthrough (about 75% finished probably), there isn't really anything memorable, and plenty annoying about it. It feels very "B team." The passwords are kinda cool I guess? For slightly interactive conversations.
