Maybe if he is sly he can get the release date pushed to the 4th

Destor 07-12-2018 04:01 PM

My game has shipped

Ultra Mantis 07-12-2018 04:15 PM

So has mine, but its saying estimated delivery on Monday and I'm really hoping that is WRONG INFORMATION.

Big Vic 07-12-2018 04:21 PM

Is this the sequel to Octodad?

Ultra Mantis 07-12-2018 04:21 PM

Prequel.

I read that part of nintendos shipment was delayed...

Ultra Mantis 07-12-2018 05:39 PM

I think it's just Amazon, they rarely get their estimates correct. I still believe!

Destor 07-13-2018 02:12 PM

IT DELIVERED

Destor 07-13-2018 02:13 PM

at work though

Destor 07-13-2018 06:59 PM

How did you find the Hunter prologue? A lot of people hated the mock-Shakespeare but it didn't bother me, she is the most fun to play as IMO.

Destor 07-13-2018 09:44 PM

The mock Shakespeare isnt bad as a rule its just not well done. Despite that i still found it charming and se comes off as very endearing

Destor 07-13-2018 09:51 PM

I read somewhere that it was a shipment issue on Nintendo's end and a lot of copies didnt get sent out...btw. seeing a ton or reports on delays today

Ultra Mantis 07-13-2018 09:56 PM

Nintendo do have a bit of a thing with understocking so it's possible, my copy was dispatched by Amazon on Thursday, if it doesn't get here tomorrow it definitely will be here on Monday so I guess I can suffer one more weekend.

Destor 07-13-2018 10:07 PM

I know you were hyped though so i get how much that sucks

Savio 07-13-2018 11:21 PM

I got BOTW from Amazon. 2-3 days late. Called em up and complained and they gave me $10.

Luckily I had a family video in my area and was able to rent it.

Ultra Mantis 07-14-2018 08:04 AM

IT HAS ARRIVED WEEKEND SAVED FUCK YEAH

Destor 07-14-2018 09:40 AM

SUCCESS

Destor 07-14-2018 02:14 PM

Is this the best turn based combat ever? Pretty sure its the best turn based combat ever.

Ultra Mantis 07-14-2018 05:50 PM

I love how every character feels different and unique, even Ophilia / Primrose. Not sure if that will remain beyond subclassing, but the best comparison I can make is early game FFX so hopefully it doesn't turn into everyone is everything again. I guess early VI would be a fair comparison but it never really felt like I had to use anybody there.

Started Ophilia, grabbed H'aanit and walked briskly past Therion to get Alfyn. Bosses are actually much harder with a party. Ghisarma actually gave me a game over already which never happened to me in the demo. Guess I will begrudgingly pick up the theif and then loop back the other way to grab Cyrus and carry on in sequence. I love Primrose's prologue but I feel like I need her the least. Not counting Therion obvs.

Destor 07-14-2018 07:54 PM

Doing Ophilias ch.1 now. Really like her. Might waifu a sprite :lol:

Im certain bosses are different if you're solo or not so Ghisarma was tough but im sure a completely different battle for both of us. Ghisarma required me to full heal 2 or 3 times. Once i realised that charge attacks could be prevented if you caused stagger though it was a game changer. I had 2 of the rat archers captured too so i was reasonably equipped for the fight.

Ruien 07-14-2018 08:51 PM

Started with the warrior. Went to the merchant second because I wanted to avoid the dancer lady. Game is a blast so far.

I tried to go exploring though and got 1 shot by some monsters.

Ruien 07-14-2018 08:57 PM

Do you level up your passive? Like does the merchant get better prices the more she buys off other people?

Destor 07-14-2018 09:03 PM

Can speak for he merchant but with the hunter and the cleric their level determins how the level their thralls can be so i would be surprised if theses a mechanism for all classes.

When I tried him in the demo he was one of the tougher solo bosses, he absolutely wrecked me as a duo though. Put up his counter attack, did this 3x multi hit at 150 a pop knocking out Ophilia and then he immediately went into pounce. Defended it but he still did enough damage through guard to wipe me out. Had to get a bit tactical with the guard breaks so he was primed before he entered his counter stance.

I think the "Noble" path actions (warrior, merchant, cleric, apothecary) are level based and the "rogue" ones are just always luck rolls with the risk of rep damage. It would make sense for Haggle to improve with level but not entirely sure, skills don't level through usage independantly as far as I can tell.

Destor 07-15-2018 03:47 AM

The Scholar is a must have in any party. The passive of learning weaknesses and being able to HP is huge. Not to mention hes a black mage. Would have made a great protag.

Ruien 07-15-2018 09:48 AM

Agreed.

Only character I think is stupid so far is the healing lady that has the flame. She is the cleric I think? So damn annoying and stupid.

So far my main group seems like it will be warrior, annoying cleric, scholar, and the 4th spot up for grabs merchant is fun but seems replaceable. Hopefully by the huntress..

Destor 07-15-2018 09:50 AM

How dare you mock Ophilia...I LOVE HER

Ruien 07-15-2018 09:51 AM

..... what?

How do I do spoilers to not spoil the tipping point of this clueless lady?

Ruien 07-15-2018 09:53 AM

SPOILER: show
test

Ruien 07-15-2018 09:55 AM

Olay that worked.

SPOILER: show
My tipping point was when the kids mom was like 'oh your father talks about how great both his daughters are' and shes all shocked he talks about both since she was adopted..... 15 FN years ago.

Destor 07-15-2018 10:00 AM

Ive only done her 1st chapter. Is it safe to click those

Ruien 07-15-2018 10:17 AM

Yes. I only obtained 4 characters so far.

Destor 07-15-2018 10:27 AM

SPOILER: show
Thats valid. I find her kindness really charming though. She's an orphan that never felt like she belonged. I think that resonates.

Ruien 07-15-2018 11:23 AM

Kind of scared to get a 5th character. Will mean I have to start subbing people out to ensure they are all a decent level.

Ultra Mantis 07-15-2018 12:33 PM

On the Ophilia thing

SPOILER: show

I took it as her being surprised at him bragging about them both because she doesn't consider herself of equal importance to Lianna, she isn't his biological daughter or heir to the flame, probably has a bit of an inferiority complex. She definitely knew she was adopted.

Ultra Mantis 07-15-2018 12:39 PM

Cyrus is great, love his chapter and his sleuthing. I ruled him out as party leader though because he seems to live in his own little world, his aloofness makes him more of a great recruit than a great recruiter.

I can't wait to get a 5th, then I can bench Therion :lol:
Will probably have to sub out Alfyn though since his path action seems exactly the same as Cyrus. Gonna miss the axe.

Destor 07-15-2018 12:57 PM

H'aanit has an axe too
