spending a decade - that’s ten years, or 12.5% of an average human lifetime - making a fighting game only to immediately go ohhhhh wait a minute fighting games don’t make as much money as league of legends and we already own that let’s fire everyone

it is vital to develop a framework for human experience that isn't just "the things i and the people around me consume represent a universal marker of quality and identity" else you absolutely will become one of the boomers who talk about how important Ghostbusters is

Brought it up in my latest monthly review, really shoulda mentioned there is nothing special about liking an exceedingly popular and universally praised game

i've found low level challenges of old games to traditionally tickle a lot of the same 'your units are weak and you need to carefully consider how to survive this encounter' itch of LoT Tri if that's on the table, like the FFX No Sphere Grid run (which is convenient since levelling is opt-in)

ah, my favourite part of running tabletop RPGs, raiding mechanical saviour for map and robot icons

let's GOOOOOOO D stans

i will never get over how you can never open a SRW better than char's counterattack succeeding and then char whiffing because the earth goes missing and he has to look to amuro and go

'earth's missing. trucies???'

Yeah that's one of the big things, healing is ggggarbage so you have to do LoT shuffling harder than ever cause losing someone is a painful mistake. Mari's -20% damage taken is maybe the best buff you have.

On the other hand restarting is quicker than ever so that's nice I guess (C button)

i think you can *do* it it also just makes me mutter 'why was this designed this way' a lot especially because it flattens out later

the first post-demo boss alone has a phase 2 that i don't think anyone not familiar and gives a shit about LoT would solve
