The opening is slow as hell but after that it gets going pretty quickly. You just need to be able to like the concept of vignettes enough to be able to sustain like 70% of the game.
Got some new medicine and haven't had a headache today. Had one about every day last week.
At least now I can try and play through age of calamity

Drawing my own conclusion: given what else we've heard, Monolith Soft will at least reveal their new game in 2021 even if it doesn't release till 2022. (This may be something you've already said Nate - I'm not up to date on your podcast!)
Are you kidding? The sports anime aspect of Sword/Shield was by far and away my favourite part of the game. That's the kind of main story I *want* from a Pokemon game. Double down on the trainers, leaders, champions, and the contest aspect of the story.
Yessss
YYYESSSSSIt's actually Crimson Shroud.
7h of perfection.
I'm also someone who has no problem with longer RPGs. Hell, most of the times when I beat an RPG I'm sad that it's over. That probably comes from the fact that I play most of them on handhelds, so I tend to just plug away bit by bit, rather than long sessions.
Headaches suck so much. I hope this works out well for you!
Jason Schreier implied that there's a timed exclusivity deal between Sony and Atlus. We'll hear about its eventual ports after the deal ends.
But such a stupid thing to buy exclusivity of games that you don't fund or publish. Sony is just bribing other publishers saying "Hey that this money and don't port your games to those consoles, because fuck them." MS and Nintendo don't usually "buy" exclusivity, they make the games happen by funding them.
For real. I have really fond memories of that game. I would be curious to see how it holds up.
I'm hoping this medicine does good in the long run. Haven't been able to play games or be on here as much because of the headaches. I wouldn't want my headache issue on anyone.
I want to work on my switch backlog ti see if I can get 3D world by the end of it
I completely omitted that lol
I believe 4 used all of the Cell or parts of it for the PS3. Even then, Konami + Kojima will not make that happen, at all.
You had me until the remake part 1 of the first 3 chapters, the terribad chapters.... rest of the chapters were great, but 3 was like the lowest point for me lol
I bought Dragon Warrior 7 on PS1 like nine years ago, but I am afraid to start it.
This is interesting as it is easily possible that this supposed to be a shadowdrop during a (partner) Direct.
Hisashi or Nishiki should orchestrate a remaster of the DP music for the remake
Gamefreak hire either of them
do it you cowards

If it's timed and not fully exclusive, then it's probably a five year deal. That would mean exclusivity would end this September.
Seems like February is the month when Nintendo will start kicking things off. Apex, possible Pokemon Direct, 3D World, etc.
It's such a good game, there's nothing like it. It gets a bad rap for the long opening but once you're past it there are really no issues.
I'm not? If you aren't having difficulty with the game why would you say that you lack confidence? If you admit to lacking confidence to the degree of needing compensation of course it'll become easier.
And again no, the pokemon comparison isn't a good one. That's more akin to not using the star abilities or taking advantages of weaknesses in TTYD. In TTYD you're essentially setting your own difficulty. As I said before, like in Kingdom Hearts wherein critical mode doubles the damage you take. You're setting your own difficulty as the game itself puts it, so it's on you if you choose the playstyle that gives you ungodly amounts of HP. Unlike pokemon, these games explicitly tell you the parameters are what you make of them if you have difficulty playing. Yes it allows you to have more FP/BP, but have you played a no HP-upgrade run? It's still difficult regardless.
Surely you can like TOK without getting so defensive about how it is comparatively easier in many ways. It doesn't offer enough options to make it significantly more difficult, while TTYD does. That much is objective I'm sorry to break it to you. I don't even like TTYD that much more than I do TOK (if at all), but it's ridiculous to act like they're equal in that regard.
February will be massive.
- 3D World + Bowser's Fury
- Bravely Default 2
- Apex Legends
- Ghost & Goblins
- Pokemon anniversary (Direct)
- Zelda anniversary (Direct)
Bruuuh, the first 3 are great. Ch2 is basically Metal Gear: Solid Shulk.
Ew ew ew ew i'm NOT getting on Nintendo Direct rumors again i have been SCARRED for life. This Apex thing will get dropped on Twitter or at the best a Partner Showcase. Like the excitement they could bring with a big direct and the amount of people watching during Switch's peak... but no if there is a good option they won't use it.
The Xenoblade games are huge and thus take a long time to come out. Every port that gets announced is just longer we have to wait for XCX2 :(
this is insane, I specifically avoid ones that are that long 😭
Granted it has been some time since I played the game, but I remember I didn't enjoy Gormott province that much, boarding to get Pyra was fine, great actually, but then Argentum was eh for me at the start.
It's mainly Argentum and Gormott early on for me. Chapter 4-10? Yes please, far more interesting imo, Nia's development? injected into my veins.
Throw in Plants vs Zombies as well, and we'll have an EA hearts Switch event.
Same, I saw it was sold out but I'm holding out hope for the both of us!
Nate mentionned that he could see a Mini in February iirc. Would be a good fit.
An Apex Legends leaker mentionned the game would be coming to Switch on Feb 1st. Assuming he is right, it gives us a window of release for Apex (Feb 1st in the West, Feb 2nd in Japan).

I mean they are sure not releasing it before summer yea. They usually release these types of revisions in August/September. Must be a nice upgrade if they plan on showing it at E3 or something. But it's pretty early to say as well so we'll see. I would be hyped just cuz it would mean a NDirect would happen.
The perfect length for a game is whatever the story needs it to be. The Xenoblade games have large casts that span multiple lands and nations, with intrigue, destiny, and all sorts of crazy crap mixed in. Meanwhile Mother 3 takes place in and around 1 village for the most part, has a more focused cast, and tells a more personal story, and it's around 25 hours long and tells its story very effectively.
Just be glad I didn't say 200+ which is secretly what I wanted to say.
Mass Effect ain't coming to Switch apparently.
Also Nate said he didn't hear that the Apex announcement would be part of a partner direct. Of course that doesn't rule it out but it seems unlikely.
Last month I played through The Alliance Alive that felt really nice at 25 hours. I don't mind long JRPGs but any bloat in a 100+ hour game can sometimes feel a bit annoying when I can play through 3 or so shorter RPGs in the same time.
Yeah I'm lowering my expectations to a Partner's, but I wouldn't rule out a Mini. I don't think whatever it is will be a full Direct though.
its part of a reason Chrono trigger is amazing still. It's perfectly paced and can be done in 2 hours while still feeling like a full adventure
Nate said Apex isn't having a Direct spot. Probably a sudden drop.
Yea. I mean there is so many game coming it would be nice to have updates and trailer all at the same place. Trailers on twitter don't hit the same.
Legit question. If they continue to refer to them as direct minis or have direct anywhere in the name, wouldn't that suggest that they still intend to use directs in a larger capacity? Like they could just refer to them as partner showcases or a "Pokemon Showcase" if they wanted to do something different.
