Grabbed We Love Katamari REROLL+ Royal Reverie because it was a fiver and it’s perfect Steam Deck fodder. I’m also playing Pokémon Emerald Revelation as the recent leaks put me in the mood to play one and I haven’t played a Pokémon game since Silver way back when.
I'm finishing Mass Effect 1 in the Legendary Edition. That remaster has a lot of bugs and they never bothered to fix them. I'm at the final boss fight at the Citadel and the game freezes/crashes randomly during the fight.
Backyard Baseball 97 on steam. Crazy they managed to dreg up a game this old and got it working well on modern systems without the source code. Went 12-2 in the regular season then went on to win the final championship series. Now I guess I should get back to finishing Silent Hill 2 remake but it's so boring I dunno if I'll even bother.
Lovely collectathon. Just started Mirage but it has a weird (bad) way of showing each zone and its objectives. You have to explore to find them, obviously, but it makes the list and completing it feel weird. Basically just waiting for Valhalla to go on sale again now that it has achieves. It's a nice guilty pleasure franchise if you ignore (or didn't grow up with) original AC lore.

I've finished the run on insanity. It's really fun to give a shotgun with explosive ammo to your squadmates.
The solution for the final boss fight is to set the game at 60fps and it doesn't freeze anymore.
I saw it was free with Playstation Plus so I downloaded it on a whim and ended up grinding through the game in one sitting. Planning to try and knock out the Kaycee's Mod challenge trophies this weekend. Bug decks too OP. It becomes ridiculously easy to spam the field with high cost cards. Also Warren+Ouroboros can get crazy broken if you put Unkillable on Warren.

So, do you just pay for EA Play then? Cause I'm looking for bypasses for it.
Anyways, been playing Final Fantasy VIII for the OP junction system and accidentally beat X-ATM092 twice. Turns out you can beat him when you first encounter him, but he is technically immortal, but you can still fulfill the kill condition of knocking him down until all five self-repair actions happen. Since I wasn't looking at a guide to keep count, I spent 15 minutes hitting him over and over again until I ran and got 50 AP, so I got 100 AP when I truly killed him.
Also, it took me about ten hours of grinding plus Triple Triad farming to get 200 Thundara via Mid Magic Refine plus 200 Tornado for strength junction plus 100 Thundaga (from Blitz cards) for Squall plus Elemental Attack for all three characters, so the balance is in the time it takes to finish early game. Also, Carding enemies is what makes the game fun because the correct way to play is like Pokemon where you weaken them enough to catch them and there's a gacha element since carding some monsters also has a chance of getting rare cards. Bite Bugs, the weakest enemy in the game, can spawn Elvoret cards, which I would not get if I were killing them like I would in any other RPG.
@Drag-on Knight 91873 Do you get exp for carding enemies? The trick to breaking FF8 has always been to keep your combined character levels as low as possible because of enemy scaling. Also what version are you playing? If it’s the newer version with Chocobo World check this out - https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2903395821
Tax- I spent most of yesterday evening getting my server sorted for Cracktorio Space Age.
I'm playing through the Dragon Age games, because I've been in the mood for some story centric rpgs. The first one is fun but holy shit is the Steam port fucking horrendous, I despise EA for being the greedy, lazy niggers they are and publishing games in this sort of state. Good game though, really enjoyed, I'll probably get into the 2nd one this weekend.
After I finish Dragon Age I might give Mass Effect a try. I've never played it, but always wanted to.
Years ago I have finished Divine Divinity and I really liked it. It was like diablo but more of an rpg. You had puzzles, dialog options, you could choose an outcome of a quest. It was a bit jank but playable.
Then I tried the sequel Beyond Divinity and dropped it after an hour. Now I played it again and it still sucked lmao. However I wanted to finish it so I did!
Wierdly I ended up enjoying the game very much so. I started to even hum soundtracks from the game in work. Probably because the tracks play over and over again. The gameplay is buggy, unfinished and unbalanced but it still works on base level. There are like 200 skills to choose from but you should and need to focus on one or two with single character. My character was focused on one handed slashing swords with a board. Basically a tank. My fellow companion deathknight on bows which are OP. Split arrows clears whole screens. He cannot wear any armor but scales with level so bows are perfect because you can just pump agility without worrying about equipment requirements. Magic might be cool for him too but it's not efficient in the beginning and microing one more resource felt like pain so I decided to drop it.
There are way too many combat skills or way too few points to spend. Every type of weapon damage has their own skill and it's divided into one and two handed types. Same with arrows - they have skills for every damage type. Ridiculous. I found non combat skills like identify, repair, alchemy etc completely useless since merchants do all of it and you can restock on demand. Better to pump that dps and survivability.
Maps are pretty big and there's plenty to explore. Many funny quests. Some of them were really interesting but I had to use a guide few times because the puzzle solutions for some sidequests were just too obscure or they didn't even hint at solution. For example npc tells you to destroy demon cult spying stone but you cannot just smash it. Quest giver or quest journal didn't say anything more in detail.
You have to find a mirror hidden in some grave and drop it in one of locations it is spying on and it stops working when you activate it. Maybe it's explained somewhere in the game but I didn't have patience to look over every single piece of note/book for stupid side quest. Just use a guide there's no shame in it.
The narrative was light but kept me interested. It even has a twist at the end. I knew some kind of twist was coming but didn't guess it.
The performance is a hot mess for such an old game. After a while you get slowdowns and 'lag'. Only restart helped and it occurred in larger areas. Something to to with memory but I couldn't solve it on my pc but there are plenty of solutions online which people said worked on their machine.
If you like older rpgs I recommend it for you kiwibros. Divine Divinity 100% and Beyond Divinity if you can get past many of its issues.
Currently I am playing Sacred Gold. I like the game so much I actually consider replaying it on higher difficulties to get that sweet ass loot. After few fixes it works perfectly even on ultrawide.

No, you do not get EXP if you card everyone, BUT you get AP. So I try to run from humans and other can't card enemies to avoid EXP. Soldiers only grant 1 AP anyways, so no big loss. Playing the one on PS3, so not remastered and pixelated. Right now I'm near the end of disc 2 and Squall is level 13 right now, but I have most of the Bonus skills in case I screw up and accidentally level up. BTW, the way to fight T-Rexaur in the early game without status junction attack is to Card mod a Gayla (which is in the starter deck) for the Mystery Fluid so Quistis can learn Acid, which can cause poison, which does about 1K-1.4K damage to him. Then you can card him for 10 AP.
I'm giving Nier Automata another chance. I'm playing on Easy and being liberal with my usage of healing items this time just to make sure I can beat the first boss and earn the privilege of fucking saving my game instead of losing nearly an hour and needing to repeat the same parts again...
Upon replaying this I'm noticing the Switch Lite's sticks really aren't very good, like actually pretty bad, very inaccurate. Possibly the worst I've used actually. I don't play a lot of action heavy games, especially not ones that use the right stick for much beyond camera control or something simple like that, so I guess I never realized it. Even Vita's sticks feel way better, the only thing that might be worse is the N3DS nub, but I haven't used it enough to say.
