@nprofile…p50y @nprofile…d6d2 @nprofile…qac8 Ask me in twelve years, when this game will be old enough to run on my next PC.

@nprofile…d6d2 @nprofile…p50y @nprofile…qac8 Heh, this reminded me of a review for “Stellar blade”,
> people found out, that one revealing outfit made the gameplay significantly harder. In the description for the Body suit it is said, that “while using this outfit, the player won’t be able to use power shield”, and because of that the heroine will be much more vulnerable. As they say “once you have the skill grown out, you get the right to enjoy the sublime beauty”

@nprofile…q97x @nprofile…gu4k @nprofile…d6d2 @nprofile…paqn @nprofile…dksa @nprofile…rw9x I like your posts, they’re illustrative. I’m saving them for the case when/if I will need to remind people what our country was like not long ago, and what it may turn to, if they won’t learn how to take the reins in their own hands.

> Have you ever played that game?
Yes, but my last screenshots date back to May 2020, so I may not remember in full clarity, how it was.
> Some boss battles make you die and sometimes it's impossible to regain your body lol
Yes. Heh, I remember how when around level 18–23 I’ve lost hard to one boss (if I recall correctly, it was the naked dude, the boss chamber is at the end of a long winding path in the sand-covered ruins, you can get tired just running there three times in a row). I’ve lost my chips twice there. The original set and whatever was left. Restarted around 5–7 times. Then I turned my brain on and beaten it without chips (the garbage collected on the way to bossroulette doesn’t count). Which afterwards made me think, that they are a distraction mechanic intended to make you play longer. Before you realise, that you can do anything even without them.
I’m not saying that they’re useless. But if the game would require you to farm a chip set every time you lose one, wouldn’t that be killing fun? The Japanese devs still remember, that games are played for the fun, so they (I believe it) could not introduce that as a requirement for progressing with the game, or with bosses in particular. And if this is not a requirement, then they are technically just an extra, something that is not necessary to have. Something that /you may be not having at all/ – as intended. “Then why chips are added to the game?” you will ask next. My guess is… the chips are just a fun mechanic, and their primary use in on the arenas – which are another “extra” for the game. Now that I think of it, the combo showcasing videos were often captured in the arenas, and it looked like those videos were showcasing chips at the same time.
Just my two cents, I’m not a huge fan of this particular series or fighting games.

@nprofile…p50y @nprofile…d6d2 @nprofile…qac8 As I (vaguely) remember playing it, losing chips scares you only past the very beginning and before mid-game (i.e. when you mostly discover new parts of the world, and they don’t change yet). Later on you get new weapons, more pods and learn some more battle combos, so chips are superfluous. Anyway, as with basically any Japanese game, you are intended to play it <strike>nopan with a hachimaki on your forehead</strike> on a serious difficulty, spending time on normal merely to acquaint yourself with the game mechanics, while reading a guide that is bought separately.

@nprofile…4jyj There wasn’t a delve that deep in my plans, but I’ll consider this. i understood what “bump-combat” means only after watching a (part of) gameplay of the first game w

(After downloading Ys X and looking into previous games.) Okay, okay, I’ll download you too. Recently I’m more busy downloading games “for the future”, rather than playing them…
