Board 8 > Ol Pun Plays Various Demos and talks about them

(+) Yeah! (+)

Mega man 11

Valkyria Chronicles 4

Fist of the North Star

and maybe if we have time, Octopath (Yea I know its super late)
---

Starting with Megaman
---

the gear system...is interesting

its so simple but I can see it going a long way

also his voice is alot deeper than i was expecting

reminds me of Koitchy from Jojo
---

LOL his death cry
---

I'm pretty impressed because you're allowed to use it way more than I thought you could
---

Block man's stage's music is NOT a banger

its pretty generic as fuck
---

a problem I keep having is that I keep confusing the weapon scroll button with the gear buttons

like, twice

I'll try to do speed gear, hit the weapon, so I try to hit the back weapon to take it away, then I hit power gear

I just got a game over cause I tried doing it mid jump

yeesh
---

you know those giant lemon drop things that refill a shit load of your life?

I don't think i've seen one yet
---

yea this game is fucking annoying me

the stages are WAYYYY too long

I'm playing on normal, does that effect the item drops?

and that droning annoying ass music

I got to the main guy, I used double gear, which I never had a chance to use because I'd always just straight up die before going to critical mode

I had NO idea it would short circuit my fucking regular ass pellets

thats about all I'm willing to try right now, I continued 3 times.

VC4 tiem

Watching the demo, it looks cool and everything but a little annoyed theres no vets, just pretty boys and waifus. I'm sure theres recruitable ones but none seem to be the main characters

I voiced my concerned over that before

My favorite characters were Marina, Jane, Wavy, and Freesia. Probably a few more I could fall back to but those were DEM BOIS (mostly girls tho)

so I'm thinkin I'm already gonna like Sniper Poncho lady
---

Got an A Rank on the first mission

I can't remember if A or S is the best rank

also, god dammit they kept the same dumbass EXP system
---

"This morning, the empire invaded Gallia"

Thats part 1!
---

so I'm looking at the squad mates

I guess they removed the whole "Base barricks" thing because in THIS adventure we're traveling across the country

There is a Shocktrooper who wears armor

thats...just hilarious but of course, this is the kind of series that I will obsess over their quirks and not include them if I don't like them too much

and she has one where she can't score critical hits and she loses accuracy

fuck

that

I'm not gonna go over everyone but lets see some noteworthy fellows

I will always value darscens and brown people over other soldiers

Godwin is a SCUMBAG Darscen. Thats a first! His Cynic quirk makes him lower his accuracy...HNNNRRRG. Everyone's accuracy is super shit in the first half of the game, this might make him a liability, especially since its activated from INTERCEPTION fire, the most common kind of attack there is

dammit

Jester looks like shit. I never liked the ones that had a bunch of bad quirks and one ultimate one. Never gets made up for

Rosetta is cute but Pacifist quirk lowers her AP. Thats BAD for a scout

Teresa is cute too but CLUMSY REDUCES AIM
they're all gonna be like this, huh? VC1 could be broken, is this their way of Balancing it?

Yes, they are mostly like this from what I'm seeing now

Zaiga looked cool but apparently if hes not around Raz, he loses attack and evasion
---

I took out the ones that were straight up trash

I have 10 spots left lol
---

that next battle was a doozy, simply because they don't show you the 2nd half right off the bat

they introduced a new class, grenadier.

It....seems to be situational. We'll see. Reminds me of the baslistas in FE1
---

also, I took 5 turns and STILL got A!

Sweet!
---

This demo is pretty long, I thought it was gonna end at chapter 1
---

3 missions in the demo.

VC4 has squad stories where every single member gets side missions alongside others with their own storyline that result in one of their negative quirks turning into a positive one, which is why it seems negatively unbalanced at first.
---

thats....actually really cool
