So is this game actually good in terms of the gameplay mechanics? The party members and their gimmicks, the character building, elemental resistances etc.
Is it well put together?
So is this game actually good in terms of the gameplay mechanics? The party members and their gimmicks...
yes, but when reaching act 3 i suggest doing main story first, or you're gonna shit on the final boss, then go wild and break the game as intended
nah, it's piss easy since you can dodge and parry anything. Elemental stuff doesn't matter and the same goes for party composition and buffs/debuffs.
No. It's gimmicky, flashy, style-over-substance garbage, which is why so much of Anon Babble loves it.
Don't listen to any retard here. Pirate the game and see for yourself.
Yes but it's very unbalanced in act 3
No, it relies heavily on QTEs and the reactive defense mechanics are ass because the enemy timing is all over the fucking place and it will slow down to make it think you're supposed to dodge or parry but then the animation will speed up and you'll get hit.
Every party member having a main gimmick mechanic that makes 'em stand out and synergize well instead of doing what a lot of JRPGs do where all characters are interchangeable is incredibly fun, yeah
everything in the game is extremely inorganic for the sake of balancing. abilities have paragraphs of explanations on their forced synergies with other mechanics. there is nothing for player to discover gameplaywise.
I dunno man every time I go to sit down and play this game life gets in the way and it's honestly exhausting. Feels like I'm not meant to play it.
Don't listen to the contrarian faggots, the game is very well put together.
Well, aside from Act 3, where you break the damage cap and instantly go from 9999 to millions of damage, one-shotting (super) bosses left and right. That's one of the very few nitpicks I have with the game.
just as long as you don't use maelle
Each character having a unique mechanic should have been a standard in JRPGs for decades now. This kind of stuff has been locked in gacha hell for a long time and I'm glad this is finally coming to real games.
Seconding this bro, every character plays completely differently so you can adapt the gameplay the way you want.
Parry/dodge timing can be weird but as you can try bosses as much you want that's not a problem.
Yes
They're already nerfing stuff.
It's babbys first turn based RPG, has a "don't take damage" button, skills have an extremely explicit set order to use them in. Which is fine, but that's what it is and likely part of why it's popular with people who don't care about turn based RPGs
I haven’t played it yet but I read a post on that and it sounds like all they did was fix bugged interactions like “this was buffing all damage and it said it only buffed burn”. You can apparently still break the game in half it’s just not automatic once you hit act 3.
It's mobile game-tier gameplay with added QTE parryslop mechanics.
It was like that in ff6, lot of characters had a unique mechanic.
mobile game-tier gameplay
Damn, your copy of the game only had 2 possible actions per character turn? That's grim
The party building is one my favourite aspects of the game, it's like an expanded version of FF9's system.
Asmongold really likes it so I am buying it on the weekend.
Stendhall was deranged. It's still really good but the ability was just a oneshot before and doing hundreds of times more damage than the next best option.
describes literally me
Do you have any suggestions for others I should play? The rest of this year's got a serious dearth of games I'm interested in.
all they did was fix bugged interactions
No, I'm talking about real nerfs.
instead of doing what a lot of JRPGs do where all characters are interchangeable
explain what you mean by that. if that's the case that usually means there's some sort of class or job progression system which encourages the player to specialize.
kill yourself unironically
There's a ton of synergies and variety but so far only a few ways to truly break the game. Act 1 and 2 are very streamlined in progression but as soon as you get the power to break 9999 dmg then all goes to shit if you have been paying attention to the pictos and weapons you've been grabbing. You can do some nasty stuff
Which you haven’t listed or elaborated on in any way. I haven’t played it yet so I really would like to know if they actually nerfed anything, because every one of the threads I read on it were just saying “yeah this was legitimately broken and not intended and stupid and 100x stronger than anything else, the game is still very easy and very exploitable “. If you are merely looking to be a useless nigger smearing your shitpost you could’ve just called it slop.
go wild and break the game as intended
Shit design then.
every gimmick just devolves into
this skill has slight bonus effects if you're in (state) which changes when you use a skill.
You can already get to steam-rolling tier even with the damage cap. Especially with shit like inverted Monoco.
Anon, my grandmother died...
AGAIN? BITCH, HOW MANY GRANDMOTHERS YOU GOT??
So is this game actually good in terms of the gameplay mechanics?
its probably the worst gameplay ive ever seen, maybe besides bg3 and xcom.
the entire combat revolves around QTE, which is annoying as fuck, because the enemies will just pretend to attack, swing their arms for 10 seconds, and then suddenly *BAM* attack.
he-he did you managed to press Q in time?!?!
no
then you just died! ha-ha! load the game faggot and do it again!
annoying trash gameplay.
it plays like a mobile game and it looks like a mobile game, too.
I was told this game was woke
there is a fun jrpg with cool building/menuing mechanics and a fast paced combat underneath a game with a sick obsession with parrying. Feels like a parody of sekiro at times
go further retard: "every vidya mechanic just devolves to press button > something happens gimmick" kek
no, only turn based cringe is like that.
everybody is standing paralized
1 character can do something at a time
low IQ gameplay for people with downs syndrome.
"chess is such a low-IQ game! you can only take turns at moving one piece at a time like a downie!"
you are such a pathetic troon kek
Chess is pretty gay though. They should add a realtime mechanic
Yes until you realize Agility/Speed is king and take like 6 turns before the enemy goes once. Even before act 3, the balance is fucked
The actual game aspect of it is mobile tier and poorly balanced. It'd still kinda fun though but if this game had a shit story it would be being trashed HARD
retards compares turn based video games to chess
lmao.
in chess you actually have to plan dozens of moves ahead.
turn based video games dont even make me plan more than 1 turn ahead - tons of skills and ways to adapt to every situation in every turn.
this is your last warning to stop comparing chess (high IQ entry) to turn based video games (low IQ cringe mobile gameplay).
There's realtime mechanic, you can punch your opponent in any moment unless you are a pussy
You could've been playing or discussing a non turn based game right now.
you dont even MOVE in 33.
if anything, this is anti-chess.
It's a bit too normie friendly to be complex and interesting, you never really have to think about building your party around synergies, elemental weaknesses and status ailments (I think I manually cured a status ailment ONCE during the whole game). The fact that dodging/parrying negates 100% damage is probably the biggest flaw with the game, it should only halve the damage you receive or something.
Chess is a memory game, you don't think/plan anything, every single chess move that can be made has already been made, there's only 1 correct way to move on every turn, sorry if Queer's Gambit and Reddit led you to believe that chess requires an IQ of any kind.
shill thread
no. when every gimmick comes down to "do slightly more damage". it's not very useful in a broken RPG where you already do too much damage, it's too easy to get over-leveled and parry counters do a fuck ton of damage anyway.
whoa no shit sherlock? powerful memory and the ability to use memorized skills perfectly it is literally what high IQ means, among other perks.
you sound like a mid-ELO 1500-1600 tard, victim of the bellcurve meme kek
chess is boring
turn based video games are 69,000% more boring, in most of them you dont even move, lol.
like in 33.
every single thing in any jrpg can be boiled to "do slightly more damage" but you are too retarded to grasp it
It's really not, unless you have like 400 lumina and every OP picto in the game and atack every single offensive picto and then conga chain a bunch of buffs together.
Just play on expert, start NG+, limit your lumina, or don't abuse broken shit
zoomer cant even fathom standing still for 2 mins at a time
like pottery
Not really, the playstyle just pivots less from tanky slugfests to glass cannon, shield stacking, turn-abusing, huge damage nukes with a bunch of buff and lumina synergy
You don't oneshot bosses unless you have like 300-400+ lumina
what do you mean you dont like standing still doing nothing? its not making your brain go into turbo mode?
no, its not.
my gaming requirements are more demanding.
anybody who unironically uses the word contrarian is a coping normalfag
how are you standing still doing nothing in Ex33 exactly? Either it's your turn and you choose your action in 3 seconds tops or the enemy is attacking and you have to parry spastic combos exactly like in a Souls game.
Dont tell me you didnt play the game and are talking out of your axe wound anon...
how are you standing still doing nothing in Ex33 exactly?
can i move anywhere?
no, you just stand there like a faggot, pressing F, F, F
ok thanks, but my gaming requirements are higher than that.
can i move anywhere?
You really are the living embodiment of the zoomer meme
whoa thats like skibidi tik tok, bro.
does it change the fact E33 has low IQ down syndrome gameplay?
yes, you dont even move
thats skibidi zoomer fortnite mega cool, gyat.
At tournaments you need to press a button to signal the end of your turn, throughout a longer game you will probably spend a few seconds just on this motion so the faster you learn to do it the more time you will have
ok thanks, but my gaming requirements are higher than that.
yeah my nigger! need zoom-zoom gameplay, gamba, gatcha, battlepass, skins, dances, achievements and shhhhhhiiiiiittt...
can i move anywhere?
try moving out of your mum's basement
you sound very upset, sweetie.
go on, dont be shy: tell us ONE(1) example of your "high IQ gameplay" vidya zoomnigger
Starcraft 1.
I can 1v1 solo if you want.
LMFAOOOOOOOOO
It's disappointing how they have all these status ailments yet they might as well not exist.
I can only recall Duelist using Inverted and Sirene using Charm
Even for your party at most you're applying Slow or Defenceless.
I don't think there's even a way to Berserk your characters, though same enemies start with that.
It feels like a heavy afterthought, 99% of enemies never use anything outside of those hat guys applying Exhausted when they die.
lmfao what?
the character building
no there are no builds, every char is the same and just needs max agility
korean APM circlejerk garbage fan
"1v1 me bro!"
holy kek
Sure, I will come to your trash game if you can 1V1 me in GG Strive or +R little zoomer faggot, you can even pick my character. Should be easy, you like meaningful movement so much kek
I boughted...
the marketers wonned...
I made it all the way to paintress without knowing what lumina points did and I was under leveled so I had to level up a little to beat that hoe
or warcraft 3, thats also awesome.
Starcraft is just a shitty MOBA.
GG Strive
LMFAOOOOOOOOO
no no no! no RTS! lets play some fucking weaboo anime shit or turn based nonsense where you dont have to think at all
if a game needs more than 1 input per minute, i cant play it!
*slaps you hard* you lost my bitch xD
yeah I dont like Strive much but +R is more than 10 years old and this faggot probably wasnt born then so I give him the choice of the pick
Yeah. It's a good iteration on Mario RPG timed button presses
Starcraft doesn't even simulate projectiles. It's not an RTS.
implying RTS are harder than TFG
stop showing your powerlevel anon, we already know you have tripled chromosomes
