Chrono Trigger

I was surprised by how short this game was. I didn't do all of the side quests or the 100 different endings but I think my final play time was around 20 hours. I could definitely see why this was so highly regarded when it came out but the battle system hasn't aged very well in 2020. Would love to see a remake where the characters actually talk to each other more than once or twice.

skull

I'm sure they do but I just used items to change all of the orbs during a dokkan event.

skull

If this game gets another major update I'd love to see a daily run or some kind of modifier where you can have weird runs. Some stuff like "only Zeus boons" or "your weapon has all upgrades but no boons" would be cool

1) If you're underleveled for fights you'll literally do 0 damage to them and miss all of your attacks. Then if you level up a few times and go back suddenly it's a normal fight (or a stomp). You can use skills to raise your agility to actually hit enemies or something but when I played it definitely felt like character level was 90% of the difficulty in combat. You can't win a tough fight through sheer skill

4) There are a few quests that unlock more skill options for your characters but they're almost completely indistinguishable from regular fetch quests so you basically need to talk to every character 50 times or look up a guide to see which quests actually matter. The skill quests will be a person that's like "I need to talk to someone strong about my issue" and then you have to switch to Reyn to talk to them or whatever.

Different quest givers show up at different times of the day AND certain quest givers will only give you a quest after you talk to some random NPC who doesn't have a quest to offer. So every time you visit a town you need to basically sweep the town for each time of day and talk to every single person to get quests.

Actually to add to that, you need to sweep the town TWICE for each time of day because you could talk to someone in the middle of the night that prompts a quest for you to accept by someone else in the middle of the day. At least quests show up on the map so the second sweep is a little quicker.

I'm pretty sure the issue with names is that people were injecting code hacks and things through the names. Not sure why it's a problem for a game like this when literally every other online game allows you to make names though.

Also who cares about names in a bean racing game?

Sekiro officially beated, 1 hour and 20 minutes to take down the final boss after 6 months of not playing. It's crazy how quickly you can pick up a game like this again.

Thanks for the inspiring topic!

---

skull

Wow that's a heck of a lot easier.

---

skull

I have not been building toward legendary boons, that's good to know.

---

skull

Is there some trick to getting legendary/duo boons easier? I know there's the mirror talent but do they start showing up more after the epilogue or something? I have a feeling this "purge a legendary boon" achievement is going to take me forever.

---

skull

I played through this game for the first time a few months ago and I really did not like it.

Most unpopular opinion of all time: Zestiria > Berseria > Vesperia

---

skull

Pun do you think they'll have any trade-in deals this year? I've got some games I need to dump but they don't have any deals going right now. Did they have anything last year?

---

skull

Spent about an hour last night starting runs, giving nectar to as many gods as possible in the first area and then dying to the lava in 2nd area. The last 2 trophies I need are "purge a legendary boon" (which sucks because I already did that but I was playing in offline mode so it didn't register) and see the epilogue.

I think I'll be officially done after those trophies.

I wish I could say there is a trick to it, but I mostly did it by memorizing the patterns and liberal use of certain tools

Yeah I'm not one to usually give up with games so I'm not sure why I lost interest. I watched a video yesterday and it seems pretty doable.

---

skull

That's actually a new thing they just added right? Maybe I'll give that a shot

---

skull

This topic is inspiring me to maybe go back and beat the final boss. I got stuck on him for a few hours and decided I'd had enough. I can't imagine jumping back in after 6 months and being okay though.

skull

I thought he was cool because he was so out of place

skull

Yeah, Experince wasn't a Pokmon until Black/White

I've watched two AEW PPVs and none of the weekly shows. The last PPV I watched was the one with the unsanctioned match between Moxley and Omega (one year ago maybe?). I usually just forget that the PPVs are on Saturday instead of Sunday.

Full Gear was great but the Omega v Hangman match wasn't my favorite and the Darby Allin match felt like a squash considering how much time he spent on the mat. I swear he had about 5% offense for the entire match and then he won on basically a roll-up. When those two guys attacked after the match I was thinking why is Cody winded? He was basically untouched for the whole match!

But I like AEW, I might try to make more of an effort to watch it.

I wash the same cup with soap and water each day, curious how many people just rinse it out instead.

---

skull

That looks fake as fuck. Changing the HTML on a website and taking a screenshot is like 5th grade stuff

---

skull

It was an okay game but it was really not ready to be released in the state it was. It could be a good game if it survives another 2 or 3 years worth of updates but the release version was pitiful.

whats the plan though beyond another lockdown

Another lockdown? We never had a lockdown in the first place!

---

skull

Yeah I played a lot of Priest at the start of the expansion and it basically came down to whether or not I had my healing and board clears in hand by turn 5 or 6. I lost plenty of matches and I don't think DH was refined with the soul stuff yet.

skull

I did a round on each because I'm stupid but I got some really good dupes including 4 copies of SSJ2 Goku so he's rainbow now.

skull

I think there's only like a handful of enemies you're not supposed to fight early but you'll know when you fight them most likely. But yeah just go to a different area if you're having trouble somewhere

why would you bring it back

No but I see the difference now. There was another browser game we played a lot back in the day called Board Game Online. I know you're not talking about that though

---

skull

Yeah I'm not sure I understand the distinction between a flash game and a browser game

Well I only played Galaxy 1 for the first time like a month ago. I think they started upping the final boss game around Mario 3D World on Wii U with Cat Bowser

---

skull

Galaxy 1 was okay but I was definitely expecting some sort of FINAL final boss. You beat Bowser 3 times and it even seems like things are going to get worse then it's just like "okay everything fine now".

It was on par with the last Bowser fight in Odyssey minus the crazy ending of that game.

The snap seed makes all of the illusions go away but it won't stop her from doing the attack. Snap seeds aren't really easy to come by so I think it's not worth it personally.

Not sure if you're looking for tips so here's a mild one.

Shurikens are your friend in that fight because they knock her out of the air if you time it right.

I was definitely not skilled enough to deal with that purple ninja the first time I ran into him. I remember doing something really cheesy like hitting him and then running away and hiding until he broke aggro and doing it again like 10 times.

skull

Was Super Mario Party well received? I know it was a nice return to form because they got rid of the dumb car from previous games but I thought pretty much everyone hated the dice aspect.

I am pretty sure the rare fish dont despawn until after you kill them

I sat and farmed them for like 30 minutes once so I don't think they despawn ever actually. I could be wrong though

Wow these are some pretty massive changes but not sure it's enough to curb the elemental problem. Moving in the right direction though

So I made it Hades on my second Shield run but died pretty quickly. That swinging attack that has a hitbox half the arena really caught me off guard.

Anyway I wanted to get more keys to unlock a new weapon, so I picked the sword again because it had the darkness+ modifier. I just wanted to get past the first boss with it and get the blood, which I still don't quite know what that does but oh well it's probably important. Anyway I figured I had enough experience to beat Meg with it now only for a new boss to show up in her place. I assumed that would happen sometime, but I wish it wasn't when I was using a weapon I'm not good with. I beat it, but just barely. This current run probably isn't going to last long.

The game doesn't tell you but you can block like 99% of attacks by holding down the shield charge and facing the direction of the attack. Pretty much every attack from Hades can be blocked so if you get to him with the shield again you should practice just holding the charge and facing him.

---

skull

It wouldn't be so bad if DHs didn't have a lifesteal weapon they can set up the turn before.

2 attack weapon the turn before
8 from twin slice (4 mana)
1 from hero power (1 mana)
new legendary (4 mana)

That's 22 damage for 9 mana

Also if they have a taunt you can still just swing into the taunt to deal 11 face damage instead.

I guess the only downside is that you need to be missing 11 health for that combo to work? I'm assuming it doesn't work if you're full health but we'll see

---

skull

Wow discord orb on tires was a game changer you guys were right

---

skull

I feel like I would try to start with the characters at that point. Brainstorm a bunch of generic characters (teen boy, soldier, etc) and see if anything jumps out as fitting in your world. Then try to see if that character has a motivation/goal that fits into the world to start a story.

---

skull

I used to really like the spear but the damage feels so pitiful compared to the other weapons now.

Not Bardock EZA:
Leader: All Types Ki +3, HP, ATK, DEF +80%
Passive: ATK & DEF +100%; Ki +1 and gain an additional ATK +50% when there are 2 or less enemies and gain an additional Ki +1 and ATK & DEF +30% when there is 1 enemy
Super Attack: Raises ATK & DEF, immense damage and lowers ATK & DEF

We got a STACKER boys and girls (and passive +180% ATK and 130% DEF against 1 enemy)

I beat it multiple times with randoms, but you HAVE to message them and tell them not to kill bosses next to the doors or else things won't turn out well.

Yeah I've been doing that but maybe playing as Zen is the missing link. Might give it a try later

I am also playing this. I don't really like playthrough topics though, so won't follow this. I'll say this, you'll be given an option to lure an npc (will literally say 'lure to area'). Don't choose that option. It was not what I had in mind...

Ehh I think this doesn't really matter, do whatever you'd like honestly. If you're someone that's looking for a platinum trophy you're probably going to have to play the game a few times anyway so just do whatever feels good. If you're a one and done then these decisions don't make a big difference

---

skull

Yeah the tire one seemed impossible with randoms. Even after a few days nobody was kiting the bosses away from the door.

---

skull

I got Buff Jackie Chun and 4 arm Tien from DB tickets. Chun seems like he'll be good once he gets an awakening but I'm not sure there's a team where I'd ever use him.
