Absolutely loved the first game and can't wait for the second game.
I like Geoff and appreciate his trying, but I gotta say this show
even if there is some big announcement at the end, that's how I felt about most of it
I feel like it would be better with a live Audience tbf.
Agreed, I'm a little intimidated by Rise, but could definitely fuck with Stories.
The Bethesda lady yelling randomly would've made this 100X better.
It would be better if all the real announcements weren't at another show in 2 days lol. But im a big Geoff fan. Just calling it how it is.
He's been pretty adamant about seeing Switch as a system for kids. After he took over as head of internal studios, BN support for Switch has declined while pretty much every other major Japanese publisher (outside of perhaps SEGA) has increased.
Wow lol. You would say that based on the sales this is not the case but okay.
He seems to believe most games need high end graphics to succeed. Which is kinda funny considering Bamco's output.
Ready for another up-to-30fps late port? But first dev need to fully denied a Switch version and says it's impossible
Yes, but the combat is slightly different. It's still turn-based, and your party is you and your current monster. You have the usual basic attacks and consumables, but the core of it is that monster specials are divided into speed/power/technique in a rock/paper/scissors triangle. You have to try and predict what the enemy monster will do to counter it, much like in a Monhun fight. Different monsters lean towards different attacks and combos, and so the more you learn the enemy, the more you work out how to punish them. Build up enough points for winning these head-to-heads in combat and you can ride your monster, becoming one unit, unlocking even more powerful moves and finishers etc.
Outside of that, it's a pretty standard JRPG, but you've got access to flight, swimming, tunnelling etc across the overworld depending on monster abilities, and can see all monsters on the field. You're also looking for caves/nests to grab monster eggs, to raise monsters for your squad, and tinkering with their skill loadouts.
It also does a really good job of fleshing out the world and talking about the difference between the more kid-friendly riders, who bond with monsters, while also not throwing the monster hunters, who remain the in-universe badass hunter guild that they are, under the bus. The game does a cool job of looking at both points of view.
Nah, this is pretty par for the course for Geoff. He does not put on good shows.
They're literally the biggest publisher on Switch. In 2020 alone they released 7 big games, all high quality stuff. Maybe newer stuff are arriving late (3 years of Naruto 4 and Ninokuni 2) but they've been doing a great job with the "Encore" line.
I've only just taken a look at my phone now that I'm off work and apparently I'm missing an important livestream lol
Even though I didn't enjoy the last Game Awards, they're usually pretty entertaining and Geoff is a good host. Every reveal here feels like extended gameplay or updates on known games
Now that's what I'm here for.
The bezels..
KCD shrinking the Switch's bezel after downloading!!! Niceee
