Yea that boss is definitely the first real wall and I got stuck on it my first time to. That's the first fight that really demands you position yourself well, execute your combos, and have a good team build going or your gonna wipe over and over. That whole dungeon is a wakeup call honestly. I got stuck again later on the Hydra Boss you fight in a poison swamp. Good times, good times. nickmanx5 1 Quote Link to comment
hanzohattori12 Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) I have both VP games, as well as the strategy guides for them. Loved the first, but couldn’t really get into the second. I may have to double back to it like I did with Vagrant Story, which ended up becoming one of my all-time favorite games, another one being VP1. In any case, nigga’s souls will be getting engraved upon (in Elysium AND Lenneth) come late September lmao. Edited July 7, 2022 by hanzohattori12 RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment

Faltimar the Dark Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 Here are some of the games I have in my Metroidvania category. I'm not sure if they all belong there but that's where I put them. I've had the most fun with Aeterna Noctis. The folk that made that also dropped a rogue style game that is like a preqeul to it. Its called Summum Aeterna. Quote Link to comment

Also looking for games that came out after I could drive. Chad's just being Chad. Far as I can tell, Chad just likes to make people laugh. I remember seeing him make an angry post once between here and SRK. After collapsing at the sight of it, I picked myself up off of the floor and I bought some Powerball tickets. 😉 Edited July 6, 2022 by Darc_Requiem Chadouken, RSG3, DoctaMario and 2 others 2 3 Quote Link to comment

It's not a Metroidvania, but it is a really solid platformer. I did I have that on Switch. Cool game. Don't think I finished it but got far so I can always revisit that too.

purbeast Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 On the Switch related stuff - anyone play Iconoclasts? I remember thinking it looked cool back in the day but never got around to it. Anyone have any opinion on it? I checked out those other games and I'm not feeling the Deedlit art style, however I may grab that Vigil and the Longest Night game too. Quote Link to comment

BornWinner Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 6 hours ago, purbeast said: Anyone have any suggestions for some more recent (doesn't HAVE to be though) Switch games they would recommend to play on some upcoming flights? I am more into metroidvania types or action/adventure games. Not into RPG in the least. I also got Shredder's Revenge for my previous flights and not really a fan. Looking to grab a game tonight for my flights tomorrow. Ever played any of the Shantae games? It’s a cute little Platformer that sometimes requires you to go back to previous locations with the new abilities you require. I personally recommend Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse and it seems to be the most Metroidvania-ly of the series. RSG3 1 Quote Link to comment
HD-Man Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) DEFINITELY get Iconoclasts. Extremely solid MetroidVania gameplay but with a story to tell. Prepare yourself emotionally for the end stretch of the game tho. Edited July 6, 2022 by HD-Man purbeast 1 Quote Link to comment

iStu X Posted July 6, 2022 Share Posted July 6, 2022 (edited) So I haven’t been posting about playing a lot of games cause I’ve actually just been going one game right after another (on top of just not really having time to do lengthy posts recently) I recently played and beat Guardians of the Galaxy (Hated it, honestly. Thankfully it was short. I really hate what James Gunn has done to GotG. I honestly feel that’s why the last writer of the GotG comic, Al Ewing was taken off. He was undoing all of the “Gunn-isms” writers were made forced to work.) Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart (In a positive and negative may I was left wanting more) Jedi Fallen Order (Absolutely fucking LOVED! Honestly super surprised by how much I enjoyed this game. Phenomenal game. Can’t wait for the sequel) Mechstermination Force (Fun boss rush game where you fight giant robots with Contra inspired weapons. Short game but really fun.) and currently playing Sifu (being honest, with how short the game supposedly is and how much I dislike the combat I see myself dropping it.) Fire Emblem Three Hopes (. Honestly might restart my file. Ive been playing it while really sick. *not covid. Just a really bad head cold* So don’t remember much and a lot of the stuff I do remember was kinda overwhelming. So I’ll probably restart the game when I’m over this head cold so I can take my time and really focus on everything that’s going on. I’m barely into chapter 4 which is the first post-prologue chapter. So I’m not terribly far) Edited July 6, 2022 by iStu X Sonichuman 1 Quote Link to comment

You're being a perfectly example of exactly what I am talking about. Fuck the devs for being pulled off other projects to make this trash.
