Wit , 1 year ago to gaming in Is Atelier Ryza 1+2 bundle worth it?

Ryza is great!! I only played the first one though so take all of this with a grain of salt.

The combat is not at all like Genshin or BOTW. It's "real time" but actually turn based. Characters will have basic attacks/skills/items, think Pokemon style combat, but each time they use one it starts a real-time cooldown before they can attack again.

The combat is actually quite simple IMO and not too engaging. But that's good, because what it's meant to be is a stat check for the items you make.

Speaking of which, the main gemaplay loop isn't like your average RPG. You go out and gather resources, then you make items with them, then you go defeat enemies with those items to get their drops or unlock areas with better resources, rinse and repeat. But the most fun part of that loop, and the one you'll spend the most time on, is the crafting aspect.

You know how in the anime Ryza uses the cauldron? That'll be 70% of your time spent in the game. The anime doesn't showcase it but the synthesis system is really complex, and very fun when you get into it. Though I personally prefer Atelier Sophie's over Atelier Ryza's haha.

If you're worried about leveling mechanics, grind, etc. - there are levels but they're largely irrelevant.

Even weirder is how some people(looking at you NCD) just focused on "haha dumb discord leaker" while conveniently ignoring the actual contents of the leaks.

Surprised it's not more tbh. As a PC gamer, can someone explain what benefits are there to buying physical games? The only one I can think of is saving storage space on your console, but the disadvantages paying extra for shipping/waiting for shipping outweigh that for me. Or is it just people who collect physical games or buy them as presents?

Wit , 1 year ago to gaming in Which meaningful and memorable quotes contained in a videogame can you recall?

• Roland: Few things are as dangerous and nasty as selfishness in the guise of 'for the sake of someone else'...
• Angela: I think I know what you mean. The determination to work for the good of others can be a dreadful and loathsome weapon. They're blinded by self-righteousness, and have no regards for their surroundings. They don't care what happens to others. They justify themselves for pressing forward pursuing their justice, crushing everything in their way...

From Library of Ruina. The song "And Then Is Heard No More" from the OST touches on similar themes, go look up the lyrics if you're intrigued

Wikis don't really need too much SEO though. If there's one good wiki, chances are it'll pop up on the first page somewhere when you google "minecraft [game-specific term]". And from then on you know to use that wiki, and just go directly to their website instead of googling.

Terraria's wiki has been running independently of Famdom for a while now, so has Paradox's, Guild Wars 2's, etc etc.

Wit , 1 year ago to nostupidquestions in What happens to downvotes when instances have different policies?

I respectfully disagree. Downvotes add a way of gauging the percent of people who support/don't support a comment. Let's say I'm asking for advice about which product to buy. With an upvotes-only system the upvote count is biased towards the earliest comment, whereas with an up/down vote system, the ratio helps you detect comments with heavy bias or blatantly wrong facts. So an upvote/downvote system makes it easier to tell the credibility of a comment, basically allowing you to indirectly gauge the opinion of the community rather than the one person who commented.
