I reallydont want to be a dick but that is "complex platforming" these days?
Its just double jump -> cling wall -> double jump -> cling wall.
I'm really old I guess :(
This was totally me with Breath of the Wild. I guess I just spent the entire time waiting for something I would enjoy to come along.
The demo did something weird for me that put me off - don't know if it was a bug or what. I turned off auto read, but some lines would still advance without me clicking, which was really irritating.Neo Cab put me to sleep yesterday. Admittedly it was rather late, but there is too little interactivity for me. I struggle with most visual novels as well. With Neo Cab I wanted to move the conversations at a quicker pace and accidentilly clicked dialogue options I didn't want to pick. That was a little frustrating. I am a rather quick reader and the game moves at a glacial pace.
I don't know if I'm just blind to difficulty in platformers or what, but it's hard for me to judge. I've been playing Mario games since the NES, so those have done a pretty solid job of training me over the years. I finished White Palace and Path of Pain in Hollow Knight, and while I won't say it was easy, I managed it all within a day or two.Unrelated: all this talk of difficulty in Ori has me doubting if it's for me. I noped out of Celeste after a while, so I dunno if it wi be for me.
Yeah, I just suck, lol. I think the only game I've ever beaten that other people suggested wasn't totally trivial was Dandara. And I've no idea what motivated to finish that, tbh.I don't know if I'm just blind to difficulty in platformers or what, but it's hard for me to judge.

Oh, it's totally subjective. I just much prefer the African front setting of the third.What made you prefer 3 over 4? I've played all of them except 4 (hope it comes to Switch too)
I can see why it's considered one, since there's a world map with interconnected areas and you get abilities as you progress through the game, but it's an extremely linear game. Still, if Metroid Fusion is a metroidvania, I don't really have an issue with people calling Ori one as well.This might be a silly question but what about Ori makes it a Metroidvania?
I've played it a while ago (admittedly, only for an hour or two) and it just seemed like a platformer with... interesting combat.
Maybe I should replay Ori with the mindset that it's strictly a platformer because I played it thinking it was a Metroidvania and honestly didn't care for it.I love it, but metroidvania-wise it's not one of my favorites because of that.
Switch has gyro, ps4 does notI absolutely can't wait for Jedi Outcast this Tuesday! Although I'm still unsure whether to go with Switch or PS4.
The wait for Jedi Academy will feel so long.

somehow I completely missed the fact that Indivisible is out soon on Oct 8th
Switch version is "coming soon."
I've got enough RPGs to hold out for it but man do I want to dive in day one.
Started Puzzle Quest last night before bed, and it turned into three hours of "just one more fight" and I was up half the night.
This was the nicotine patch that helped me successfully quit WoW back in 2007, and it's nice to have it again as I try and resist the lure of WoW Classic. Lmao
noDid they adjust the AI at all so it doesn't cheap like hell? Because I want to buy this game RIGHT now and play it...
Ugh. I really want to play on Switch, but I don't know if I can hold out. May just buy on PS4. Anytime anyone says "Coming Soon" they are full of shit.Switch version is "coming soon."

I like gyro but it's not a huge thing for me unless it's Splatoon or something lol.
I experienced what you're talking about with the dialogue. There was a time where I pressed A and chose something I did not want to, so then I just started letting the text go on auto and waited to respond.Neo Cab put me to sleep yesterday. Admittedly it was rather late, but there is too little interactivity for me. I struggle with most visual novels as well.

And it's the worst version :-(Just remembered Ori is on the same day as DQ11 so that means no day 1 because I wont play it any time soon. Again, if only it had a launch discount, I might be tempted.
edit: btw havent seen a good ol' Switch Tax (tm) like this in a while:
Ni No Kuni Remastered PS4 / Steam - 49.99€
Ni No Kuni non-Remastered Switch - 59.99€
Ori is easily one of the most beautiful game on the console, but the combat is absolutely horrendous and I may actually pass on that one. It's unfortunate because I love the control and the flow. The overall package seems a little bit cliche to my liking ("the forest is dying and you're gonna find artifacts or whatever magic seeds to save it") but this is solely based on my time with the demo, I may be completely off.
But really, the combat are a huge turnoff, especially after hollow knight which nailed it (hu hu).
I'll probably wait for a sale, but I'm really disappointed.
I can confirm that Sayonara Wild Hearts is very good.
If you're gonna at me with "it's short" and "there's no challenge," it's not for you -- I should say that I don't really look for length or difficulty when assessing a game (in fact, I really enjoy short and easy games these days). Otherwise, it's a wonderful neon pop album come to life that never stops surprising and never stops being enjoyable for its entire runtime. It's something, like a good album, I'll return to a lot, and something I'll want to share with friends.
Not only that, but it's one of the most meticulously polished games I can recall playing for some time. Simogo didn't miss a single corner when shining this game up.
I've tried playing Ori numerous times in the past and this is also my takeaway.Ori is easily one of the most beautiful game on the console, but the combat is absolutely horrendous and I may actually pass on that one.

Still pretty great for what it wants to be.
Am I the only one launching the DQXI demo everyday for a few minutes, just to prepare for the big day ? :D
The cool thing about Sayonara is that while it's is an "experience" sorta game like Journey, It's also very gamey, so it's genuinely fun to replay each stage multiple times. The game encourages it too as there are unlockables for getting gold ranks and the like.i'm debating getting it, price seems... ok for what it is. I loved Journey and Abzu for example.
You won't be disappointed. XI is a masterpiece. I put over 200 hours into the PS4 version (don't worry, it doesn't take that long to beat) and I'm getting the Switch version to replay it in the retro mode.you are not the only one. I am SO excited for DQ11. I think it's my most wanted game of the year and I'm so glad we have this long ass demo to play during the wait. Just a few more days!! **excitement intensifies**
So this is kinda a crosspost, figured I'm more likely to get a response here. So I'm interested in Super Robot Wars V, so is V is a good place to start and the standard Japanese switch version has English? How would I go around getting it? But that version doesn't have anime music Hunh? Too bad I'm been jamming out to the Super robot spirits albums on Apple Music all afternoon(which I'm guessing are related )
Base no anime music Japan digital version is confirmed to have English text translationI've looked into these before because I like the idea of a mech game. I'm just not sure if I'll like the idea more than I'll like the actual game itself. I drop games quickly. V is out October 3rd, the Asian release will have English. X is coming too at some point. T is the one out already, Playasia has T, but it's $70 without tax and shipping and I can't justify that on a game I'm not sure I will even like. I'm sure they'll have V when it's available too.
Problem with making purchase plans based on the eshop (besides those games you just buy on a whim and werent planned) is that a lot of shit you forget is coming out is missing. Case in point, checking out some "october releases" videos, and noteable "big" games that dont have a eshop page yet:
Disgaea 4 Complete
A Hat in Time
Digimon Story Cybersleuth Complete
RE5 and 6
Doraemon Story of Seasons
Atelier Ryza
Dusk Diver
Children of Morta
And the noteable October releases already with store pages:
Luigi's Mansion 3
Overwatch
Witcher 3
Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair
Sniper Elite 3
Call of Cthulhu
Vampyr
Ghostbusters Remastered
Alliance Alive Remastered
Neo Cab
80 Days
Mistover
NG
Killer Queen Black
Trine 4
Baldur's Gate 1 + 2
Mary Skelter 2
We were all so worried about September that we didnt see October sneaking up >_>
I'm waiting for it too, but I might only take the plunge if the included the localized dubs...I absolutely can't wait for Jedi Outcast this Tuesday! Although I'm still unsure whether to go with Switch or PS4.
