Anyone excited for Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster?
Is my favorite RPG of all time
But i just played it at a certain time of my life where the "lonely feeling" of this game was confy to me
I think if i played it today for the first time it wouldnt be my favorite ever.
Been playing Rise for a few hours and... yeah I really want a Switch Pro. It's kinda jarring playing my PS5 and PC and then playing a game that goes for somewhat of a more realistic look on Switch. It's really fun so far, but the graphics are definitely jarring coming from World.

I'll probably pick it up. I recent beat Persona 5 Royal and I'm interested in seeing what the SMT series is like.
From what i barely remember...
The SMT series has a bigger focus on the mythical/folklore/demon/angel creatures.
Is like Pokemon but really dark.
You have a full team of creatures of your choosing plus the main character.....you can also have Dante from DMC series a bonus
Loving Rise so far but i'm going to be interested to see what "worldbabbies" make of it as their first sequel. For a series veteran it feels easy in the same way styles made Generations and Double Cross a cake walk. Mostly because the 'b team' always lean a little more to character action over the 'a teams' dragons dogma style leanings. Its still very good and feels in some ways like the proper successor to 4 and in a wierd way like a fair few ps3 era capcom games, which makes sense given the teams past credits outside monhun, but its going to be interesting like i said to see what people newer to the series make of it.
Beyond the ease of play from the wire moves the little changes are interesting. You can now turn weapons into scrap for buddy gear and to balance that they no longer sell base weaponsm, as far as i can tell thus far, but the cost of weapon creation is as low as a quarter of what it used to be and you can roll back anything you made to refund stuff. It feels like they really want you to have a bigger variety of weapons this time where a slight detriment to world was it feeling like 3 or 4 of a weapon type could effectively cover the entire game so i'm interested to see the variety at end game this time, especially when 2.0 hits in april.
Now back to getting used to one thing in my charge blade moveset being changed for the wire counter thats going to take some getting used to in the muscle memory.
Started with World and imo it barely feels different.
Given i have only played lance so far and once with hammer in the demo, but the new wirebug moves feel really good. Having what is pretty much a taunt with lance could be really good in multiplayer and the other one that increases the dmg when successfully blocking also feels very satisfying (especially when it's the kill hit). And the additional little QoL changes like all equipment being organized by sets instead of just all in one box helps a lot, or that you only have to mine/gather once to empty a gathering spot. Only really still have to figure out how to effectively mount monsters
But imo the best thing so far is the soundtrack. Jesus christ does it sound great, especially the normal battle theme for the Frost Islands so far (only finished all 3 star quests so far).
Always glad to see when a series still continues to try to improve or atleast keep the quality, instead of being "ok guys, the last game sold tens of millions, we can keep it low"
The best other example i've thought of that feels the same way is when devil may cry 4 came out with the devil bringer. It was technically the same moveset for the most part and this new addition just made the movement between you and the enemy change in some way where you spend less time closing the gap in one way or another and its a specific feeling that makes the fights feel like they have far less downtime even if they might be about the same overall time wise.
well i love my switch. i enjoyed pokemon sword until after i became champion, the raid battle got annoying and Zacian was a pain to catch.
I do love that people treat you like the champion. Sure sun and moon working kind of like that but in sword it felt better.
well time work work on shield now then think of what game to get next. i wish nintendo had more game sales. sure there is kind of a sale going on now at gamestop but none of the games i want are on sale.
anyway everyone have a nice day.
