hey guys my brain is better at remembering things im interested in over things i am almost forced to be taught too

i'll send you the commemorative "cool kids" t-shirt

So anybody download dat Bravely Default demo?

'Spretty sweet. I've spent about half my time so far just kind of ******* around with the jobs, abilities, and equipping systems just trying to figure out how it all comes together. So far, it seems pretty deep. Also, bosses absolutely beat the snot outta you if you don't make smart use of Default (and preferably have the right jobs assigned). Really looking forward to the full game.

 

[#HBC | ZoZo]

Sounds interesting. Will look into it, love me some menu gaming.

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

Who was it who developed that game? I considered downloading the demo last night but got distracted.

 

[Gova]

Square Enix.

 

[Vinylic.]

Square Enix and Silicon Studio.

The demo is fun, the battles are very challenging, and the enemies really know how to piss me off. You're gonna have to spend more time playing the game and gathering people, leveling up the characters and know what you're doing. Otherwise, you're on a really messy start.

It actually reminds me of Golden Sun in a lot of ways.

Which is a very good thing.

You have my interest. What similarities do you draw?

 

[Circus]

Well, as far as surface level stuff, the presentation just feels very reminiscent of Golden Sun to me. The battle screen and the overworld are laid out in a very similar manner to Golden Sun, and since that's primarily what makes up the demo, it's something I can't help but notice.

But even in terms of enemy encounters, the Brave/Default system adds a fluidity to the combat that reminds me of the djinn system in Golden Sun. In a lot of RPGs, combat is pretty standard and rigid. Your characters make progress over the course of the game, but individual battles are pretty predictable—your characters are capable of specific things throughout the battle. But the Brave/Default system is sort of like the djinn system in that is changes what your characters are capable of from turn to turn. In Golden Sun, the state of the djinn you have set to your characters determines what kinds of abilities and summons that character is capable of in that moment. Similarly, characters in Bravely Default have certain abilities available to them when they keep their BP (Brave Points?) above 0, which you can build up through passive abilities or by waiting through a turn by Defaulting (defending, essentially). It makes each turn feel a lot more dynamic than most other turn-based RPGs.

Obviously it isn't exactly the same—there doesn't seem to be any out of battle puzzle solving that GS is famous for, and the jobs system in Bravely Default is where most of the variety comes from rather than djinn collecting, but there's definitely some similar vibes here.

Then there's stuff that's totally different that's still really cool, like the equipping system. You can give characters two weapons, allowing them to attack with both in a turn, or swap one out for a shield to increase defense and evasiveness, or leave one hand entirely empty if the character in question has an ability that benefits from that, etc. And every piece of weaponry or armor that you equip to each character can have a different effect on their stats depending on what kind of class they are. Sometimes equipping two weapons brings their overall damage potential lower than if they simply had one.

Basically, it's a micro manager's dream.

this reminded me of nabe

 

[KevinM]

Top 25 drunkest cities list came out.

Providence RI hit number 10

So proud of what my cities managed to accomplish, this is a great honor.. I think I might have a drink to celebrate.

Memory coupled with namesearching. Sorry If I've missed you!
Let's party hard. Here's to more in the new year!​

 

[Tom]

it would be fun to play with you all again but that's about it. i'm working on so much other stuff that i would either neglect the game or neglect my other interests, and we all know how that ends.

 

[Kantrip]

I'm curious what league all us DGames LoL players are in.

 

[#HBC | Joker]

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

 

[Nicholas1024]

I'm curious what league all us DGames LoL players are in.

I'm gold 4, personally.

 

[Kantrip]

I'm Gold 5 myself.

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

i play dota2 instead

 

[YOLOSWAG]

The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen?

 

[JTB]

Side Lane Mafia is gold something right now, but we haven't done 5s since before I left for the holidays

 

[Jdietz43]

Silver swag 5lyfe

I'm not nearly active (or good) enough playing that game to go higher

 

[KevinM]

I'm Gold 2 currently,

Would love to play with people but I never have time anymore :\

 

[Jdietz43]

 

[#HBC | Laundry]

Side Lane Mafia is gold something right now, but we haven't done 5s since before I left for the holidays

sorry bby

i'm comin' back soon, though you gotta hold down my spot for a week or so while my comp finally gets actually fixed.

 

[#HBC | BadWolf]

Sliver 4 myself. ****ty internet connection isn't allowing me to get higher though.

 

[Shun Goku Satsu Rake]

Bronze 1 because i never play ranked and got placed there after the 10 matches you do to get placed (i won 5/6 iirc). After that i stopped caring. I know i could carry myself to gold based on me beating my gold friends / other golds and playing with a diamond bro of mine and not feeding like mad, but im too lazy.

 

[KevinM]

[11:49:20 PM] That Yung Kev Tho: Remember guys
[11:49:33 PM] That Yung Kev Tho: capitlization is the difference between helping your uncle Jack off a horse
[11:50:17 PM] That Yung Kev Tho: and jerking off your brother because you think he looks cute

 

[#HBC | Joker]

....... wut?

 

[KevinM]

Keep up dude

 

[#HBC | Joker]

... I don't think I want to keep up. Jacking off a horse, and jacking off my brother, are both things I do not want to do.

 

[KevinM]

I'm gonna jack you off mr. potty mouth

 

[#HBC | Joker]

I'm gonna jack you off mr. potty mouth

Now THAT is something I think we can all appreciate.

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

I had to help my uncle jack off a horse one time. Let's just say I'm never going down that road again.

 

[Raziek]

How about we move away from the blatantly sexual jokes, please?

Otherwise I'll have to go through and change the capitalization to make it less lewd.

 

[Sephiroths Masamune]

Damn Straight!

 

[KevinM]

How about we move away from the blatantly sexual jokes, please?

Otherwise I'll have to go through and change the capitalization to make it less lewd.

ban ,e fkr

 

[BSL]

You guys gonna boner joust again?

 

[#HBC | ѕoup]

what's wrong with helping your uncle jack off a horse? he probably has bad legs.

 

[#HBC | Gorf]

Oh yea that's right we can't help jack off Dark Horse since he's like 12 my b.

 

[Aggressive Mediation]

I'm curious what league all us DGames LoL players are in.

Gold 4? More importantly Gold 4 in ranked 5s. That **** is ridiculous. Legitimately lowest I've seen is Plat 2 and since we hit Gold 4, every game has at least two Diamond 1s. I'm not exaggerating.
