I’ve been playing the Pokemon X romhack Eternal X on my 3DS as of late. I’ve been really enjoying replaying the game now that it’s an actual challenge rather than sleepwalking through yet another cakewalk of a Pokemon game. Pleasantly surprised by Nintendo’s announcement of Pokemon AZ today, I just hope it runs halfway decent (who am I kidding?)

Last Epoch. Loving it so far!

SaintWacko,

Oh yeah, I need to try that!

Marvel: Midnight Suns went on sale this week, and is living up to the early positive reviews.

I’m not far enough in to say if it will rival similar games I enjoy, or will replace Final Fantasy Tactics: Advance.

But the early game is fun, and the mechanics feel like they may get better as the learning curve and progress hit full gear.

Edit: And it’s already fun, in the early game.

I need to try it again. I used a mod that mucked things up and turned even simple battles into nearly impossible fights due to poor scaling

MajorHavoc,

It might not have been the mod, honestly.

The difficulty curve is all over the place, even unmodded.

Katana314,

I liked the card tactics, but I got very quickly bored of all the story conversations; given the way they seem to be connecting to the most obscure Marvel comic lore and characters. I’m sure it’s amazing to some people, but I could not give less of a shit who the “Original Midnight Suns” were, or even the lore behind my playable character.

Maybe when I return to it I’ll just start skipping any dialog not related to the core story.

Who needs the author’s name in the crop, when you can have scrollbar instead?

I recently set up a home Minecraft server, so I’ve just been enjoying the Vanilla+ experience

I’m replaying Baldurs Gate 3 again. Now with even more mods, bringing my total of “nope, can’t possibly play without that one” into triple digits 😄

FenrirIII,
@FenrirIII@lemmy.world avatar

Are there any mods to bypass annoying puzzles or remove exploding barrels and shit?

Viking_Hippie,

Not mods per se, but there’s walk-through guides living up to their name by walking you through every step of every puzzle. As someone who loves CRPGs but is absolutely awful at puzzles, they’ve saved me countless hours in BG3 alone, let alone game’s in general.

An example search string would be “Baldurs Gate defiled temple puzzle”

As for the barrels, I can’t find one about those specially, but the Fair Fire mod removes unavoidable fire damage fromsurfaces, so that might be of interest 🙂

I still remember the forest trees and the cream Porsche in the point to point, no damage level.

Still on Like a Dragon 8: Inifinte Wealth.

I’m about 45h in. So far I’ve completed most side stories, the Pokemon League and I’m now doing Dodonka Island. Still have most of the main story before me, didn’t even had a fourth party member for close to 35h. It’s still great.

That would be such a boring DLC. If she lives, she finishes casting Holy, which stops meteor a whole disk earlier.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks, (edited )

That’s not how holy works…

In the game, she succeeded in casting it before her death. The reason there’s another disk is Sephiroth is preventing it from working. So Cloud et al go deal with him, then holy happens, end of game. If she survives, not much changes at that level.

Helldivers 2, Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time (40 hours in currently), Dead Space 2023, and surprisingly Rogue Company.

Been playing Rogue for 2-3 years so I’m pretty damn good at it, which is the reason I keep going back.

CheeseNoodle,

Cyberpunk has really come into its own. I just wish it had more cosmetic options, outside a few iconic outfits there aren’t many options for good looking clothing unless you want to look like a member of a grunge band or go full casual daywear.

Witcher 3 Quit smoking and drinking a few months ago and been going through my backlog to keep my mind busy. Started with Skyrim, then assassins creed Valhalla and now Witcher.

Not sure what I’ll do next. I have fallout 4, assassins creed origin and odyssey. All these games I’ve started and never finished and would like to finish.

League of Legends: I try to get diamond before Riot removes Linux support.
Mushy Score: I a lot of testing before releasing the game.
Spiritfarer: Just to have something relaxing alternative.

Hearts of Iron

Armored Core (with a bonus freebie title)

Oiconomia,

Civ has a lot of old fans since civ 1 or 2 that just buy and play any new civ game that comes out. I had: Civ 1 Civ 2 + Addons Call to Power (which was no official civ) Sid Meier’s Alpha Centauri Civ 4 + Addons Freeciv Civ 5 + Addons Civ: Beyond Earth Civ 6 + Addons Unciv

TheAlbatross,

So does Armored Core, Yakuza, Final Fantasy, Fallout and a few other of the series posted here but I’m here to make jokes not accurate observations about various niche gaming communities

Here’s a hot take. I really like the leveling system in Final Fantasy 2.

De_Narm,

I loved it too! Until I learned you can attack your own party to essentially powerlevel. Couldn’t stop myself from abusing it instead of doing some proper leveling.

zero_spelled_with_an_ecks,

Yep, punch myself in the face until I never need equipment again.

Same, you can really see the bones of what would become SaGa on it, I like it very much from the combat to the keyword based dialogue.

johannesvanderwhales,

I think it’s worth noting that if you’re playing the Pixel Remaster version, it’s significantly less jank than the original from the NES. They also made the trap rooms a lot less brutal. That said the game is overheated for sure. It had ideas that didn’t pan out but it also was pretty ambitious for a NES game.

Sabin10,

The first version I played was the dawn of souls on the GBA. Never tried the og.

gamermanh,

That’s why you like it, then. Every version of FF2 beyond the original has made the levelling less awful as well as try to fix up some of its other

If you go back and try an English translation (or can read Japanese I guess)of the original you’ll find its a shit ton of pointless grinding that just hurts to play

Im usually ok with a grind and some pain in older JRPGs but FF2 is not ok

FF2 is my favorite in the series. This meme hurt me. :(

Is it any different to any other FF games? Sorry I entered into this meme 😅
