Takumi Shu… will you write another game? I’m begging. Ace Attorney 7. DGS3. Ghost Trick 2. New IP? Anything, I want it so bad.
I am partial to Apollo Justice, the first one on DS. I personally loved the storytelling and this ominous aura of mystery that begins in Case 1 and looms over the entire game. Also Trucy. It was also the first time I remember that I, as a kid, was challenged to think about why we believe certain things to be true. And it has a great soundtrack and art / character designs which on their own are enough for me to love a game to death.
It’s simple, this is the one set between Yakuza 6 and 7 but also during 7 and then between 7 and 8, where you play as Kiryu from the first 7 games but not going under the name of Kiryu as he went into hiding after 6. Oh and this game is an action game, but the next game in 2024 also starring undercover Kiryu and also the protagonist of 7, Ichiban is a turn based RPG. See simple, lol.
Is it better than the first one? I struggle to play it for too long. The break mechanic is just too much for every single battle. And the stories are super basic boring fairytales without the weird parts of fairytales.
Except for the dancer, when one of her friends randomly yells out of nowhere “Yes, I became A WHORE!” lol
I don’t know how far you got into the first one but they are pretty similar games in my opinion. Everything that was good in Octopath 1, got better in Octopath 2. So: music and sound design, still amazing. Art, it’s the same HD-2D style that’s popular nowadays and Square is good at it. Character storylines are still mostly separate and not extremely complicated. The endgame scenario of Octopath 2 is more fleshed out than the hidden/True Last Boss of Octopath 1. I had a lot of fun in the endgame but in my opinion it was still too short.
The battle system is even more broken than Octopath 1 and largely revolves around setting up a team that can generate lots of BP, stack all your buffs onto a single character and maybe a debuff on the boss, then break it and deal 10k or 100k damage in a single round with your strongest attack. I think with certain setups it would be possible to deal 2 million damage in a single break. No boss has that much HP, though.
You still get powerful by exploring the map for gear and stealing/path-actioning good items from the end game cities. Grinding isn’t really necessary to beat the game but there are multiple setups that can turn trash encounters into 1-button wins.
The sub-job system is more flexible in Octopath 2. In addition to Break, characters have unique Latent Power “limit break” skills. There are so many ways to build a team that works well and part of the fun is figuring out what skills you can spec onto your characters and combine in order to win the game. That was also the case in Octopath 1.
Thank you. Yeah I’m playing FF9 right now and the battle system is just so much better it’s ridiculous.
Some day I’ll finish Octopath 1, it sounds like I’ll be even more bored with 2 so I’ll skip that one.
played the OG version on release. there is a “point of no return” message for the end of the game. If you complete game or save after that point and reopen that save you’re locked into that ending based on what you did prior to crossing the point of no return.
so the playable sections all come before this — so if you missed something after completing you can reload your “Meet [Person] At Embers Bar” save (the point of no return) — go do it with your endgame character and then optionally revisit the final section if you like.
from what I gather on loading up an old save after this patch you’ll have to re spec your character and may have missed minor things, but can start all the new content from your …Embers save.
From a new player perspective you can choose to do the DLC or the vanilla game at any order or at any point- gated by your character level and progression, similar to how Fallout DLC works.
In best case, I will play the game after the first patch after 2.0 + PL. Good that I’m still in my first playthrough in Baldurs Gate 3. So if the patch comes around the weekend of the 6th of October, I should be fine.
I understand Nexon, and F2P, and all that, but having played this in Closed Beta I found it to be a really enjoyable game. Hopefully they don't mar it with overaggressive monetization.
I’ve been playing Max Payne 3. It stopped working at the end of Chapter 6 on my PS3 so I found a completed save and started playing it on my Steam Deck from where I left off.
Also Cyberpunk 2077. I avoided it up until now partially due to how buggy it was at release and how things like the police mechanics were still lacking. Keanu Reeves being in the game was another thing. I find celebrity worship really off putting and based off of Reddit’s reaction I kind of assumed that would be a bigger part of the game with lots of obnoxious winks to the audience. I just got started but the game seems neat so far. I like the atmosphere a lot.
I mean, what price point are we talking? I'd spend $20 to let my niece mess with it a couple times, but if it approaches a full priced game it's not happening.
