Video Games General

Ok so the new Digimon game is solid. Very fun great line-up of Digimon and so many references.

I just saw Renaman, Impmon, Lopmon, Terriermon and Guardromon hanging out. Guilmon was hiding underground in a previous area.

Just... this whole game just makes me smile.

Also the game makes it quite clear what happens when Mega-level Digimon fight at full power in the middle of a city.

A bit of clarification: no, you don't see a couple megas fighting it out in the middle of Tokyo.

At the point I'm at, you get told about how there are at least two armies of Digimon fighting it out across the globe, both against each other and the collective human militaries that are trying to fight back (with... basically no success, just like in Godzilla movies).

The PC, at this point, is currently 8 years in the past, and is trying to figure out what's going on that caused the Shinjuku Inferno that likely sent them to the past... and also marked the start of the collapse of human civilization because of said Digimon armies.

(I'm having fun with it, when I'm not distracted with my second, more "complete" playthrough of SRW Y.)
 
Fuck you too Behemoth.

So, a few things first. Weapons do not have a durability rating- it's only the daggers that break after one hit, probably because of how effectively you can throw them. Don't worry too much about using bows until you get Dodstreng- the magic arrows are much easier to aim and appear to be unlimited. I'm continuing to collect arrows though- there are apparently Knockback Arrows and Explosive Arrows and I'm wondering if some kind of trade might happen. Also Dodstreng's first upgrade is an aiming reticle, which is very useful.

Also, and the game doesn't tell you this until the start of World 2, holding down the B/Y button (depending on controller) opens a set of alternate weapon slots. So you can carry up to eight weapons instead of four. Legendary weapons can only go in your primary slots though. I've got Dodstreng (the bow) over my left shoulder, since I'm right-handed, Kragjaeger (the sword) at my right hip, a mace/axe thing I got from the first miniboss over my right shoulder for armor-breaking, and a shield on my left hip. Shields are flimsy but they can save your bacon. My alt slots have a second shield, that ginormous sword, three daggers (up to three fit in one slot,) and... I forget what in my right shoulder slot.

Back to what made me swear at it. I'll spoiler it just in case, but if you want to check the game out and have a fear of heights/falling, open it before you buy.

So I get to the second level of World 2 and the next step is to take an enormous wooden elevator up the mountain to kill the flying Behemoth.

Great plan. I'm on board with this plan.

I know it's going to go poorly, of course, but I had assumed it wouldn't be that bad.

So, naturally, the elevator stops mid-shaft, halfway up the mountain. The Behemoth rips the side off the shaft, looks in with one eye, then the other- gives no fucks about the arrows I try to put through the eye slits, of course, or his tongue when he screams so hard it damages my health.

Elevator falls.

This isn't the first time I've fallen in VR, and while I do have a fear of heights it's not too bad- I just close my eyes as soon as I realize I've fucked up and wait to respawn. I was thinking it would start falling down the shaft and it wouldn't be too bad because it'd look just like going down, and I close my eyes after a second until I hear it crash at the bottom.

The elevator does not fall straight down like I expected. It rolls, bouncing off support beams, back and forth, might have spun at least once- I'm not sure because I closed my eyes after realizing just how bad it was. You even take health damage during the fall, only making it seem more real.

I did NOT need to experience that game, fuck you very much.

Unrelated aside: Also, the archer boss at the end of level 1 of world 2? What the hell were you thinking, devs? One gut shot and he's dead? Not even a headshot? Even the regular mooks can tank two, sometimes three gutshots!
 
Outside of Factorio(I think) are there any Non-First Person games with a virtually endless ever-expanding map for building infrastructure on?

Closest I can think of is Voxel Tycoon.
