Kid Icarus Uprising

Shoutbox

nocturnal YL: 60%-ish. They've come to a point where the only way forward, if they decide to go ahead, is to modify the existing game. The question is, are they going down this path? I'd have thought no 10 years ago, but Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a thing. Aug 18, 2024 14:49:32 GMT -5
Johans Nidorino: SSB Ultimate already was that to SSB4 the way I always saw it. Halfway between an upgrade and a true sequel. Aug 19, 2024 12:43:11 GMT -5
Fryguy64: Unless Sakurai commits to another, I think the chance of a Deluxe Pack for Smash (or any other game released in the past decade) is at about 100%. Aug 20, 2024 9:24:59 GMT -5
Nester the Lark: I haven't seen this reported anywhere yet, but according to the latest Kit & Krysta podcast, Don James recently retired from Nintendo of America. He was one of the very first staff members, having joined in 1981. Aug 22, 2024 13:33:34 GMT -5
nocturnal YL: At the final chapter of Shining Resonance Refrain. It's a pretty ordinary game; nothing to get excited about, but it doesn't have parts that really need improvement either. It does have the same problem every single ARPG seems to have though: grinding. Aug 25, 2024 8:58:08 GMT -5
nocturnal YL: Like a lot of other ARPGs, a difference in a few levels can completely turn tides. This game is not particularly grind-y, but it still feels like a lot of busywork. There's also grinding for particular materials. It's not particularly bad though. Aug 25, 2024 9:01:54 GMT -5 *
nocturnal YL: I just realised that we got a Nintendo Direct that's not a huge SQUARE ENIX ad. That's very surprising. Aug 27, 2024 10:17:32 GMT -5
nocturnal YL: Just finished Shining Resonance Refrain. Can't think of anything special to say about it right now; it's an enjoyable game that doesn't stand out. I'm also thinking about changing my plans on what to play next. Aug 29, 2024 13:19:21 GMT -5
Nester the Lark: OK, I admit it, I bought a fighting game. A bunch of King of Fighters games have gone on sale because it's the series' 30th anniversary, so I got KoF13 because I always wanted to try it. Aug 30, 2024 9:23:31 GMT -5
Nester the Lark: Andrew Greenberg, co-creator of the hugely influential Wizardry series, has passed away. Aug 31, 2024 17:43:41 GMT -5
nocturnal YL: Crazy coincidence there.
PlayStation: We're taking Concord offline.
Nintendo: Greetings from Concordia!

Nester the Lark: Apparently, Falcom president Toshihiro Kondo was just as surprised as everyone else to see Trails in the Sky the 1st revealed in the Direct. Sept 6, 2024 18:54:29 GMT -5
nocturnal YL: Alright, change of plan: I'm going to play Ys X first. Why? Because I want to play it before its overseas release. And if I'm playing that, I may as well get to Felghana afterwards. My plan to play unfamiliar games has to wait once again. Sept 8, 2024 10:05:52 GMT -5
nocturnal YL: And on that note, in the last week I've been playing Project DIVA Mega Mix, as I usually do whenever I'm not sure what to play. My skill got rusty from more than a year of not playing. Took me a few tries to perfect a single ★8 song. Sept 8, 2024 10:08:49 GMT -5
nocturnal YL: Early impression of Ys X is pretty good. There is UI indicating which NPC has new things to say, shared experience (granted, there are only 2 playable characters this time), and the field control is a lot better than Ys VIII and Ys IX. Sept 8, 2024 13:35:12 GMT -5
nocturnal YL: Got to the beginning of the sailing section. So far the whole thing feels a lot like Ys VIII and IX (with better control and UI), with fast-paced action and easy defensive options, nuanced politics, and Adol too happy about getting his plans interrupted. Sept 9, 2024 12:24:02 GMT -5
nocturnal YL: It's not as different as I thought. The overall feel is still like Ys IX, with the wire action (ZL button) being just an extension of what Ys IX had. It also has the same sound effects and map system. Small things like this make it scream modified Ys IX. Sept 9, 2024 12:32:13 GMT -5 *
nocturnal YL: PS5 Pro price revealed to be $700 is the US, €800 (US$884) in Europe, ¥119980 (US$847) in Japan and £700 (US$916) in the UK. Seriously!? Sept 11, 2024 6:52:30 GMT -5
Nester the Lark: All of the reactions I've seen so far boil down to the high price not being worth the small upgrade, it's digital-only without an expensive add-on, and Sony didn't even show any new games for it. Sept 11, 2024 10:51:42 GMT -5 *
nocturnal YL: Got to Part IV in Ys X. Sailing is very slow and I can't quite get used to it yet. That and the on-and-off voice acting are the only real complaints I have so far; everything else is good. Sept 11, 2024 14:02:31 GMT -5
