There are mods for the PC version that add the style switcher but otherwise yeah it's just on Switch.

Also you can swap between all guns/weapons on the fly too instead of having to pause the game to switch and there's 2 player co-op Bloody Palace mode.

Yeah the two gun buttons in DMC1 is pretty pointless but I don't think the actual combat is complicated at all. You're pretty much always holding R1 because it's the lock-on button so R1 (while holding back) + Triangle for launcher doesn't seem like much of an ask. Also the direction you need to input on your controller never changes so you don't really need to try and figure out what direction Dante is facing.

FWIW you only have to tap the button to launch enemies, you hold the button to launch AND bring Dante into the air with the enemy. Sure it could have been a launcher button in the first game but air combat in the first game is garbage anyway so it would be weird a dedicate an entire button to launching.

In DMC3 they replaced the 2nd gun button with the "Style" button instead. You pick a style before the level and depending on what you pick the button will either give you more melee attacks, more gun attacks, a dodge, or a block/parry (and a few more options). You level up that style to get more abilities for each.

In DMC4 they kept the style system but allowed Dante to switch between all styles during a level instead of only picking 1. The Switch port also added this feature to DMC3.

Furi is good as hell but it definitely gets harder. Once you recognize the boss patterns they're not that bad but it depends on how much patience you have for that kinda stuff.

Can't go wrong with Shovel Knight King of Cards either.

My total playtime was 8 hours after beating the game but I don't think I did a ton of exploring.

Yeah I saw people saying you should play both stories to get the full experience in Scarlet Nexus but I really couldn't bother after beating the guy's story. The world was cool but it felt a little squandered because of how empty the levels were. A full sequel with a real budget might be interesting if it ever happens.

Literally lead her like 5 feet at a time and then use her triangle attack. Don't bother doing anything but her triangle move

Androids banner on JP has Vegeta and INT Broly featured. That's nuts

The sad part is that Piccolo would probably be Vegeta if Vegeta stayed dead in the saiyan saga.

They're hyping Piccolo as having a big part in the new DB Superhero movie so maybe he'll finally get something for that.

They block ki-based supers above, not below. Below they get another Super.

Yikes

Jesus Christ that new 17/18 is maybe the best card in the game now. Passive ATK +170% and DEF +180% AND 35% ATK/DEF per TEQ orb. They're going to take 0 damage from attacks and do like 10 million damage a turn. Oh and they also seal, have a ghost usher active, and block ki-based super attacks if they're under 35%

And the 19/20 card supports, crazy buffs with disables guard, absorbs ki-based super attacks and heals 39%!

Super hot take: the Ori games are nothing special. The first one has god awful combat (which isn't improved a TON by the 2nd one) and the platforming focuses way too much on Ori's bash move. Also if you miss a jump or mess up on the platforming sections you just take a little bit of spike damage and you can just jump onto the next platform with no penalty 95% of the time.

Like I don't need every game to be impossible levels of challenge but it kinda takes the piss out when you can just damage boost through all of the spikes/lasers to get through a platforming section.

The atmosphere and plot are good enough but I'd love to see why people put these games at the top of their lists.

I just realized I posted a bunch of Roguelites instead of Metroidvanias lol

Top tier Metroidvanias:

Guacamelee 1+2
Blasphemous
Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom
Outland (cool take on the genre, very cheap $4)

Pretty good:
Shantae games
Chasm (map is procedurally generated but otherwise not really any roguelike elements)
Slain: Back from Hell

Definitely Hades if you haven't played that. I've been playing Skul: The Hero Slayer this week and it's pretty fun but it's also hard AF. I consider myself pretty good at these games and I haven't beaten it once with 16 hours on record.

You should check out the "Indie Friends" bundle on the Dead Cells steam page

Dead Cells
Guacamelee 2 (another great game)
Curse of the Old Gods (haven't played but looks good)
Skul: The Hero Slayers (might lose interest after 25-30 hours)

Discounts if you already own some of the games and a bigger discount for the whole bundle. Would probably only be about $20 if you already have Dead Cells.

---

skull

I dropped 90 stones on the discounted banner and got 5 new EZA units so I felt pretty good about that. Maybe pull on that one if you're looking to burn some stones.

---

skull

I got it on PC and I played with an Xbox (One?) controller. You have to mash your dash button about 100 times a minute to be competitive so if you're serious about playing then base your decisions completely on that.

That is not an exaggeration either; the game is legit faster than melee. Also if you're just looking to play casual with friends or something then I would recommend just sticking with Smash or a different game. Maybe it'll be a different story if the game gets more support but right now I can't recommend it.

Just completed Battlefield thinking it had reset already. I pretty much never do the 2 wins or 3 wins rewards so at least I got something out of it.

I was wondering why my lineup was already setup to beat PHY Freiza and now I know!

1 multi got me:

Dark King Mechikabura
Gotenks (Xeno)
Robelu
Gohanks (dupe)

These villains cards are cool but making a team with 6 of them kinda sucks. I have to use Golden Cooler and the two Broly cards and they don't link with any of the demons. Maybe it's better to mix and match a rotation of demons and a rotation of saiyans?

I blew too many stones on the Gogeta banner so I only have enough for 1 multi on heroes.

The new Trunks card sucks lol

The other cards are okay

Don't believe anyone said that the punishments need to be equal. Just that the low end of the punishment shouldn't be "say you're sorry with sugar on top 1000 times" or whatever you're suggesting.

I'd love a list of crimes where the punishment is lesser if you're "suckered into" doing it.

The Nick game went WAY too hard in trying to please hardcore players instead of casual players. This looks like it'll have a much better balance between casual and pro.

Yeah I'm hitting the fatigue stages myself. I've said that a few times but I think I'm actually done for real this time.

I've been doing endless Chaos runs to probably build an Enigma so that... I can do more Chaos runs with a different class? People hate on Diablo 3 but at least you can keep working on doing higher GRs if that's for you. When you max out your character in D2 there's literally nothing left to do except start a new character.

At 2:15 the Lizard is clearing jumping at a different character so the other Spider-Mans (Spider-Men?) have been edited out of some scenes. Wouldn't be the first time Marvel shows edited scenes in trailers.

---

skull

It looks fun but I feel like I would lose interest after a few days.

---

skull

The amount of casual players still playing this game after 6 years just feels like it would be low to me. Maybe I'm underestimating how many people play without looking at reddit or YouTube for news about the game regularly.

---

Notice on the JP version says that they might ban people who used this bug.

RIP to all of us I guess. I only used it for the dragon stone punching bag stage 1 time so maybe I'll avoid a ban.

But I also feel like they'd be banning at least 40% of the player base if they ban EVERYONE so maybe we'll all be fine.

which makes the earlygame a snoozefest because it's just wasting your time.

The early game (in a good roguelike/lite) is all about learning the items, enemies, synergies, mechanics, ETC.

That's usually the most fun part for me! I'll spend 20 hours trying to find the most broken combo I can in a game like One Step From Eden then sort of lose interest once I don't feel like the game has any more secrets for me or if the gameplay is getting stale.

I have 700 MF when I switch to my off hand because its adding 250, my actual MF is 450 so my clear speed is fine. My offhand has an ali baba with 2 ist and a shield with 4 ist. You just swap to your offhand right before bosses/elites die.

Yes MF has diminishing returns but more is still always better.

---

skull

Big milestone today, hit 700% MF with my sorc when I switch to my off hand. Celebrated by killing Baal and he dropped a blue staff and a stamina potion. Woo!

Also on PC gear is becoming very difficult to trade unless it's one of like 5-10 items. Mid to high gear (even some that is best in slot) is absolutely worthless. I mean it makes sense because people who can afford it probably have better gear already and the people who actually need it can't afford the low prices. I'm having trouble even trading a Topaz Shako for Mal Um right now!

The best way to farm right now is seriously just do Nihthalak runs all day and trade keysets. After 6 Dkeys you can make a torch and sell it for about a Vex. But I have a feeling that torches are going to be pretty useless in about a month too so IDK what the market will look like then.

Is anybody else in the end game trading part of the game yet or am I just speaking gibberish?

---

skull

Mercs keep gear when resurrected BUT if you buy a new merc all of the gear is gone. So make sure to take off their gear if you ever decide to buy a new one.

Looks like the trophy pops when you ID a ring and it's a SoJ so trading doesn't seem like it'll work.

---

skull

Yeah make your own stuffing instead of using the box stuff and it's amazing. It's also easy as hell to make.

---

skull

It sounds silly but the thing that helped me was to just sit down and start playing. Like literally just go grab one of your games, put in your console, sit on the couch, and start playing. Forget your mood or what you feel like playing or whatever, just put a game in and see where it goes.

Maybe you'll stop after an hour or two but it helps to get rid of the analysis paralysis. I mean you bought all of these games with the intention to play them all at some point so just go for it!

skull

He's mentioned that meteor and firewall suck on console because they're impossible to aim. In that case I'd recommend fireball as your fire investment then. You'll need to invest a lot more into fireball to make it work over fire wall but it'll actually hit enemies.

Honestly you're better off just ignoring cold immune monsters unless your merc can kill them easily. The only reason to dual spec is if you're specifically targeting something that's cold immune. Like when you're doing Chaos Sanctuary runs one of the seal bosses is always going to be Cold Immune, one Fire Immune, one Lightning Immune. But there are plenty of areas in the game with very minimal cold immune that are easy to farm and you'll just be slowing yourself down in those areas if you're dual speccing.

But not everything is min/max so honestly just do whatever you want to have fun. You just need to decide what you're looking to do with your character and work towards that.

---

skull

Yeah if a monster is Immune then you're never going to damage them with Cold. Hell monsters can have cold resist and the mastery helps so you can deal damage (or extra damage) to them.

Basically cold and fire immune monsters have like 300% cold immune so you need to lower that to 0 before they're not immune anymore. That's pretty much impossible

The exception is Lightning Immune which is only like 120% immune for some reason. That's why people love Infinity because it lowers Lightning Immunity in enemies by 45-55%. It's much easier to get that 120% to 0 and actually damage lightning immune enemies.

Cold/Fire resist enemies just take less damage from your spells. So if an enemy is 50% cold resist and you have -80% cold resist then they're now -30% and taking 30% more damage from your cold spells.

So yeah resist and immune are different things and Lightning Immune is different from cold/fire immune
