Hello everybody, I hope you all have had a good weekend. This week, my brother was on vacation so I haven’t continued our Elden Ring Seamless co op playthrough. Instead, I have started playing the Persona 3 remake. My only prior experience with the series is Persona 5, but with that in mind ive been enjoying it so far. The dungeon design is very archaic, as you can only make RNG generated floors so exciting, but I have enjoyed the cast of characters I’ve met so far. The one thing I havent liked is that all the social links are in the same time slot, which feels incredibly overwhelming at times. Anyway, hope you all have a good week ✌️
Mina the hollower. Game is a throwback to the top down era zelda games but with more modern bullshit. Im gonna finish it, but i dont think im gonna replay it any time soon.
The core mechanic is the burrow. Its a dodge roll but you have to jump before and after each, but the invuln lasts way longer. I dont really like it but its definitely a unique take. Some enemies have telegraphs that are faster than the burrow startup, so dodging requires planning your positions, and even then sometimes you just get hit.
It has a take on the souls currency mechanic. You keep your money unless you die without your soul equivalent. It makes it possible to abandon you soul to go spend your money, and therefore actually mechanically encourages backtracking.
Game was hard at the start, but levelling up honestly made the mid and lategame easier than the start. A bunch of old game design choices that sometimes just kill you. Some bosses have untelegraphed attacks from off screen, some just move faster than you making contact damage unavoidable. You can only attack in 4 directions but enemies move in 8.
