    I'm like, 90% sure that's not true. I've never heard of equipment affecting battle rank (which is what scales encounters in the game) and I'm fairly certain exploiting it for speedruns would be a thing if it were. The scaling is basically entirely based on the number of encounters you've been...

    KickStarter Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes - From Suikoden creators

    How about 'Rub-a-dub-dub'? I don't have my Kodexian Jew decoder ring on hand. I could live with a few obnoxious characters, stuff them in the kitchen where they belong and roll with some of the other dozens of party members. But it seems like everyone has the 'How do you do, fellow children?'...

    In Progress Dominions 6 - Rise of the Pantokrator: The New Decline a.k.a ProfessionalThroneSitters MP Match (Ongoing!)

    Try luck + turmoil scales! Guaranteed massive PD losses every other turn, population losses, dominions losses, and the general feeling of being royally fucked over by every event.

    KickStarter Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes - From Suikoden creators

    A lot of these translations don't strike me as particularly woke, but they are really bad nonetheless. It's like someone who'd never heard of king arthur trying to translate a story about honourable knights going on a quest, and making pro wrestler references instead because that was their only...

    From Software Elden Ring - From Software's new game with writing by GRRM

    Experience has taught me that time doesn't solve that problem. Games ported years after initial release also tend to run like trash.

    In Progress Dominions 6: ProfessionalThroneSitters II, MA Edition

    Seems like an unfair advantage though, since it effectively means you get 2 cap circles.

    I'm in this boat too, except I won't even have time for it until after the summer. I'm also just not sold on the artstyle. It's just got this uncanny valley 3D effect where I feel like I'm looking at abstract art instead of an actual representation of anything. You don't need any context to...

    Sure but now the votes are tied up. I'll give it a little more time anyways.

    What game did you spend the most time on?

    I don't think I could say for sure, but I think it'd be a fair bet for me it was Starcraft:Broodwar. The custom maps in that game ate up my afternoons on a daily basis for multiple years I'm pretty sure. Must have been thousands of hours. I still think about it now and then, how many awesome...

    Axiom Verge & Axiom Verge 2 - funky Metroidvanias with more character than your ex

    I'd say the other big exception is La-Mulana and it's sequel, but uh... don't play those if you value your sanity. I think the only game that's come close to trolling me that hard is Getting Over It.

    Axiom Verge & Axiom Verge 2 - funky Metroidvanias with more character than your ex

    Super Metroid is definitely fuzzier in my memory than HK; I could be wrong on that one. Probably depends on your definition of 'accessible' as well, given wall jumps are a thing you can beat the game without ever using. Re: Axiom Verge- I didn't get around to trying the sequel, but the first...

    Axiom Verge & Axiom Verge 2 - funky Metroidvanias with more character than your ex

    Hollow Knight is the example you're looking for, it's what I love about it most. After you get the mantis claws, the game is just wide, wide open. There's are a lot of really important upgrades and they overlap in interesting ways. SotN was fairly open too, but mostly because it's mobility...

    Well, I'm back after my unannounced month longbreak. Didn't plan to take a break that long (or at all really) but as I am prone to do, I got distracted by some new game I figured would only hold my attention for a day or two, then was a little less inclined to go back so I tried another, and...
