Darkwood and Disco Elysium, as games recommended by friends. Darkwood scares the crap out of me, maybe because I'm more alert to sounds in general. Disco Elysium is very interesting, but a tad slow, and not as engaging as other games.

Most of ny playtime now is Dark Souls 3. I only played 1 and 2 before, and this is about what I expected, more, slightly better and different Dark Souls. I'll probably replay it more than DS 2, but that depends, because I might prefer 2's less linear progression.

Also, still grinding supports I want to see (which is a lot) in Fire Emblem Revelations on bus rides.

What's up with Darkwood's popularity recently? I know Pyrocynical made a video about a week ago, but I started it before that, because of a friend recommended it to me like a month ago. And I think I saw it mentioned elsewhere somehere inbetween too.

I generally don't play horror games, so Darkwood scares me enough that I only play for maybe half an hour during daytime. Might take a month to get through.

Overall great, but the movement, mainly during all the backtracking, just wasn't fun enough to carry it. You have a dash and that's it, the charge dash is too situational.

It might not be Metroid with Shinesparks and such, but maybe up the default walk speed at least? The rest of the game wasn't outstanding enough to make up for it either, besides the map being very open, even for a metroidvania. I like how there are 3-4 ways to enter the area with the Dream Nail.

I'm really hoping someone will step up once the second-hand sales start going up, though it might be hard to emulate the 3ds itself on a small handheld like that.

The demand should be higher compared to other systems you can easily experience on PC or even Switch emulation.

I still play my 3DS on bus trips all the time, and trying to find people IRL who recognise it. There aren't many here.

By far my favourite console ever, if DS and GBA libraries (and ease of modding) are included. I didn't even get through the most recommended games, let alone the obscure ones (like an Atelier-like game made by the Etrian Odyssey devs, Nora and the Time Studio I think, it was weird but interesting if somebody wants to try)

Don't actually care for the 3D effect by now, but I'm happy it's there, if only for showing off to people. Fire Emblem feels made for dual screens, and EO was literally so - I'm hoping they'll manage without them. Besides that, mostly just good game library.

That's a pretty specific game I'm surprised I recognise. Not a good one, but an interesting one.

[–] Dutczar@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 weeks ago

I played the 3DS one (unless there more) as one of my first 3DS games, and I just couldn't get into it. To put it simply, it wasn't clear what I should be doing, even when I understood and did the objective.

Well, sometimes load times matter. In Borderlands 3 going off SD card instead of disc drive caused a minute or more of loading time when launching the game.

I was going to ask how a pebble can kill with just terminal velocity, but it IS a rather pointy, metal and aerodynamic pebble.

Hasn't he threatened to use nukes multiple times over the war already? Ignoring the threats generally worked out.

Anger can be acceptable if you consider that statement isn't just about you. If someone rejects me because I'm not their type, that's ok, but if you go around saying other singles are bad too, rather than admitting your standards are just high (which is fine), that's rude, especially if you're not one of the "good ones". My sister uses that phrase and it does mildly anger me, because from living with her I know she's immature (among other problems) and, to a lot of men, and especially the "good ones", I'd assume she is seen as a bad partner herself.

That being said, I do agree that the comic here is kind of forced, I only heard this being said while gossiping, and never as a form of rejection of a specific person.

And yet some people would call that a Red flag...

 

I'm replaying DeSu, doing the other routes one by one, and I've been wondering about how things play out if you let everyone die. Primarily how the Belial fight gets skipped (or so I heard), does the death clock, just, disappear before the fight?

Anyways, my idea was:

-quickly pick Yuzu route and 8th day on a "good" playthrough for another route, just to see how it looks when everyone lives, including the "protect Tokyo" sidequest

-reload save, do whatever other route I was doing

-as my final route, if I still feel like it, do a "jerkass route" where I let everyone die and do Yuzu ending

However, I know that you need Gin to do that sidequest. I guess I'll see the details once I do it on a "good" Yuzu route, but, if I want 100% completion on a single save, then I'll need to keep him alive? Or would I also need Haru alive, in case Gin gets sad and won't help? Or, most likely, I guess I'll just say "screw it" and resist the urge to see a 100% number on a save, if I did all I needed to over multiple saves. (Lucifer can't be that bad, right? Right?)

Also, right now I'm doing Atsuro's, I am way past the choice of letting Haru die, and will need to keep her alive for Amane and Gin's routes. So, Yuzu is the only I could let her die in now.

Alternatively, if there's a let's play, walkthrough or video that could satisfy my deranged needs to see these characters suffer, that would solve this problem easily. Or if someone tells me if Gin dying actually has any impact on the characters for more than 1 day. If not and it's just like two lines in the evening, I'll keep him alive on the "jerkass" run too.

Edit: Oh shit, I only now realised there's a message skip option, why didn't I see this? This should make replays faster, I haven't played in a while so this time I'm listening to dialogue tho

 

I've made it through the whole modern Persona series (besides dancing games) and the whole 3DS library. Also Nocturne and SH2.

I don't play to play the really obscure games like Majin Tensei or Demikids, but something like SMT1,2 or Devil Summoner (is that one translated?) sounds like something I'd still play. So, I'm barely halfway there, and these games were my main focus for a few years now.

 

I wish I had the dedication to do that

 

Not sold on Yukari's, but besides that they sound good. Shinjiro's and Ken's didn't do many roles before but I think it's safe to trust the voice director at Atlus West.

 

For a start I guess I'll just share the EOU manga, which is being translated by aariachang24. You can submit fanart or memes (I don't know if you can do that via mangadex though, so here's the Reddit post). https://www.reddit.com/r/EtrianOdyssey/comments/13jo6ax/etrian_untold_manga_guy_here_give_me_fan_art/

There's also the webcomics and the EO2 manga: https://mangadex.org/title/2c1ed758-4d64-4735-949e-e5148afa389e/sekaiju-no-meikyuu-comics

I made this sub as an alternative to r/EtrianOdyssey. Though it's not as big a deal as other subreddits migrating, given how small it was - it was basically just for new players to find advice (which, probably won't be here as much, given how lemmy is harder to wrap your head around) and for sharing fanart/memes once in a week.

What I did notice from my few hours on lemmy, however, is that it's pretty good at recommending new communities. So if you're from Sopuli.xyz (or other instance if this community gets going) and stumbled upon here, welcome! Try our dungeon-crawler with fantastic combat and party building!
