What’s the music bug?
― Karl Malone, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 21:08 (five years ago) link
iirc the overworld theme restarts after a battle so you only ever hear the first 30 seconds of it
― diamonddave85 (diamonddave85), Tuesday, 26 March 2019 21:12 (five years ago) link
yeah that. not just the overworld but any area so you never get to hear beyond 30 secs in any of the field/dungeon music
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 21:55 (five years ago) link
honestly the best way to play the game is gonna be via a modded pc version once they finish those fan patches that use machine learning to reconstruct the backgrounds in HD. they might already be available even, i'm not sure. and you also can get fan patches to fix the other bugs like the music one that have been introduced since the original release
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 21:57 (five years ago) link
it's still a classic game and all, it's just a lot of the appeal of those PSX FF games over their peers was spectacle and that part has aged poorly, both naturally and due to SE's poor preservation/ports
― ciderpress, Tuesday, 26 March 2019 22:02 (five years ago) link
Yeah. When it came out, I remember me and most of my friends were really excited about the lengthy animation sequences for the summons. We’d watch them over and over again with patience because they looked so amazing. But now? Those summon animations better have a skip button! I haven’t replayed FFVII since the early 2000s, but I do worry that it wouldn’t hold up too well

honestly might as well for the remake at this point, even if it comes out on PS5

FFVII comfortably in the GameFaqs top 10 for years after release - may even have come back a year after FFVIII was released.

it actually was the best game of all time but wouldn't be good at all now. you really had to be there.
― shoulda zagged (esby), Wednesday, 27 March 2019 21:35 (five years ago) link
its not some monolithic thing like mario 64, its more like halo 1 in that it raised the stakes for an existing genre and then everyone iterated on it for 2 generations and made some better games in the process
― ciderpress, Wednesday, 27 March 2019 22:00 (five years ago) link
i guess, in the sense that there were better FPS than Halo and even the two previous FF games were better than VII but they were still exceedingly popular
― Nhex, Thursday, 28 March 2019 01:01 (five years ago) link
esby likely otm there, dunno if i wanna play it again but it owned me for months

can currently get free nintendo online if you have twitch prime a.k.a. amazon prime
https://twitch.amazon.com/prime/loot/nintendo/
i don't endorse giving your money to amazon but if you already have, might as well get the most out of it
― ciderpress, Thursday, 28 March 2019 20:15 (five years ago) link
to add to that, if you already have a switch subscription you can still "add on" months to it using the amazon thing

Tetris 99 is fun
I don’t know how to do T-spins so I’ll never win but I’m pretty consistently in top 10 and have come in second and third a few times
I love Tetris but T-spins are too confusing
― flamboyant goon tie included, Monday, 1 April 2019 23:01 (five years ago) link
they're not too hard, i guarantee if you watch just a couple minutes' worth of videos on how to do them you'll be set (look at just doubles, not triples, which are much harder to set up + rarer to naturally occur -- doubles are easy + they're a must).
you might play slower for a little while while you're practicing set ups but it's worth it, learning those as well as s/z + j/l spins really opens up how you can play the game and it just gets way more fun when each piece has that many more options and less things break yr flow.
my twitchiness/reflexes are way too trash to play any game that requires them generally, but my win rate in this is like 7-8%. i love this game. switch best console of all time

https://kotaku.com/mario-odyssey-breath-of-the-wild-will-support-labo-vr-1833825547
The VR support will be quite different between the two games. While Super Mario Odyssey will get a “bite-sized bonus experience” with a series of three mini-missions in which you collect coins and musical notes, it looks like Breath of the Wild is getting full-on VR support in the main game. You’ll simply be able to turn on the VR Goggles in the options menu and explore all of Hyrule in VR. (Pre-rendered cut scenes won’t work in VR, it said.)

the botw one will be more like 3ds stereoscopy i assume, there's no way the switch can do dynamic VR in that game

It seems like I log in to this thread every three months and ask if I should buy Skyrim, then chicken out, but it's £25 now on the Nintendo store (!) and I think I'll buy Skyrim, maybe.
