So this comes out tomorrow, i had enough points on my goyshop account to get it for like 5 or 6 quid as i'm starved for advance wars style gameplay THATS NOT FUCKING FIRE EMBLEM and it makes me wonder if its a success what that means for the genre.
The Wars devs have stated they are 'watching with interest' and 'theres a number of staff that want to make a true advance wars sequel' so who knows what could happen.
But fantasy compared to chibi animu military otakub8 is a bit disappointing but we all know even before sjw's took over western games that fantasy always trumps modern day or sci-fi in sales which fucking sucks but what can you do.

I really, really hate the western styled "animesque" version of cutscenes every modern game dev is making. They look so boring and lifeless.
Also I think I'll start to refer to this style of scenery as Tumblr Fantasy, because while it's kind of cool that they mixed and matched various cultures and concepts altogether to make for unique looking units, it just looks like they never committed to going full immersion with it so half the characters look really poorly made or inconsistent, the fleur de lis on a pirate ship with pickhelhaube wearing red frog fish really looks like someone just vomited a bunch of concepts and took whatever looked "different" rather than functional. Also I don't like how the overworld sprites are somehow more detailed than the board itself, which truth to be told looks kind of comfy. Units are shit though.

I do too. I have the same complaint with CrossCode. Which pisses me off because I really like that game, even if I hate its artstyle.
I don't know why they don't just go to a proper Japanese studio and have it done right, instead of doing a cheap, clumsy interpretation of anime with stupid western shortcomings, which probably took twice the time and effort and only came out looking half as decent.
It's like all of their shitty art was done in-house. Chucklefuck has enough money to commission art from real artists, so why didn't they? The game could have Fire Emblem/Advance Wars quality and look even more like the genuine article that they're imitating, but instead, it ends up looking like a shitty amateur tumblr project.

CrossCode's artstyle wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't good. It's why it fucking baffles me why they don't commission Japanese artists to execute the style they're clearly going for.

I have to disagree with the superficial part, because if you look at the character portraits and the animations you can tell they spent a lot of time going through all of them to give them details and whatnot. But it's so horrible and uninspired that it's physically difficult to even watch it. It's like they got the minor things devs don't get right with their graphics but then decided to be retarded with the main dish.
>I don't know why they don't just go to a proper Japanese studio and have it done right, instead of doing a cheap, clumsy interpretation of anime with stupid western shortcomings, which probably took twice the time and effort and only came out looking half as decent.
Because most western, tumblr-tier artists are terribly insecure of their style, since they don't really have any. Like, the very pictures you posted, none of the three redraws are TECHNICALLY bad, but they all try and look as different from the source material as possible for no other reason than the fact the artist making them didn't want their name associated with anime.
It's like they want to justify their influences and yet don't want to acknowledge them. Had they gone full blown Japanese styled or with their own, original thing, no one would have cared at all, in fact it would have even looked more unique. Instead they always go for this very middle-of-the-road, cookie cutter and flat looking style that tries to incorporate niggers and stronk wymin because THAT will surely bring the diversity quota - never mind the fact that Advance/Famicom Wars managed to create plenty of really unique character portraits in five different art styles that convey everything about the individual characters, so even if they wanna claim they got inspired by it it's very disingenuous. by the way, they deliberately avoided that gimmick in Skullgirls then retardedly went back on the art style, so
>>16067276
You know what? This is also why this thing is going to sell, despite probably being terrible. If there was even a single other turn based strategy game worth playing in the current year with a similar vibe, it would have literally crashed and burned within a week, but since NU-tendo really wants to become a party game dev they'll never fucking deliver.

In an RTS you need to have quips because, uh, you need to be in control of the whole platoon without second guessing which unit is which? Take C&C, outside of Generals (which has the funniest yet worst and longest and most repetitive ones) the units call out their name, their quirk and SOMETIMES they make snappy one liners. For example, take the Conscript, when you select him, he goes:
>"Conscript reporting"
>"Comrade?"
>"Waiting orders…"
In a very monotone, weary way, so it immediately tells you all you need to know of the unit you just selected. Same goes for all the other units and all the other stances they go through.
In a TURN BASED strategy game though you need to be able to visualize the whole board, so the lines of dialogue (these aren't quips, they're literally talking) are unnecessary at best and intrusive and distracting at worst. Take the very Famicom Wars series, the only two times the soldiers ever speak is when they win the map or some very nondescript grunts that don't annoy you.

Being distinctive is key in real time strategy games. Next time you play or see someone play Total War Rome I, notice how all sound effects scale with distance from the camera, except for the SCREAMING ORDERS of the generals, calling out the individual units or what they're supposed to do. It seems random, but it lets you zoom out real fucking away and still know which unit you just selected when you would virtually have no idea without zooming in. Subtleties like these make oldschool vidya so much better than this indie shit. Shovel Knight and a few others are probably the only good ones, since they took the lessons of the old vidya and just padded them with features to reduce game overs and lowered the skill floor.

I actually have a theory about as to why this is. For as right or as wrong as it may be.
Transgenderism is a symptom. The diseases being things like, poor body image, no self-esteem, no sense of self-worth, bodily neglect, and self-loathing that results from it.
Because all of these things are a factor, these things also affect their inability to find a partner, because what partner worth their salt will want to put up with this kind of shit? Nobody. It's only exacerbated more because these creatures have absolutely no drive to improve themselves. (After all, it's not them. It's the patriarchy/misogyny/bigotry/some other phantom menace that's wrong!) Which mentally absolves them of any kind of personal accountability.
After a while, these people eventually resort to transgenderism to compensate for that. If nobody will be their partner, then they'll essentially attempt to turn themselves into their idealized partner, no matter how unrealistic that ideal is.
And it manifests into this weird, super-narcissistic self-waifuism. Which is why they get so weird and uppity over tiny, minuscule things, like gender pronouns or social justice norms which have zero bearing on the real world. Because by "misgendering" them, you're therefore attacking their entire identity. An identity that they've superimposed to whatever unrealistic, idealized figure they're trying to morph themselves into, no matter how much bodily mutilation and self-harm it takes.
Further add to the stigmatization of mental health, and the lack of faculties to really approach it. Instead of proper evaluation, psychs are incentivized by pharmaceutical companies to just throw bottles of pills at people instead of direct talk and addressing the issues at hand. Because somehow, chemicals are now seen as a substitute for human empathy, instead of someone sitting them down and calling them out on their shit.
Add to the echo chamber of the tumblrsphere, and it just reinforces every negative quality, and tries to spin them into positives. Add this to a bunch of dudes taking hormones that their bodies aren't chemically designed for which fucks up their brain chemistry, and no fucking wonder these pieces of trash have such high statistical odds of offing themselves.
Don't let the internet raise your kids, folks.
>>16071637
I was more referring to Warcraft and Starcraft. Every unit seemed to have some quip that reinforced their personality, similar to the kind of shit Sigrid does/says. That's why I didn't really find it to be that egregious. The unit lines don't bother me nearly as much as the portraits do, but based mods will fix that soon enough.

Two of the main places that Golf Story dropped the ball are actually having good golf mechanics and having interesting environments and courses (of course, Golf Story also fucked up the RPG mechanics). Primarily, it needs to be a solid golf game with challenging but rewarding mechanics; Golf Story dropped the ball and had mechanics less consistent and manageable than some Game Boy Advance golf games. Environments need to be memorable; in a good Mario Golf game, every course is unique, and different sets of courses are very visually distinct. In Golf Story, virtually every course in a set was indistinguishable, and the only thing that changed in appearance was grass color.

The sorry is fine and not at all political. Ugly Frankenstein girl is adorable. Tumblr bullshit stops at the portraits.
It's AW down to the pixel, but commander units change the whole game. No more stalemates like on certain AW maps, you simply go for the other win condition.
Conquering buildings works differently too, with more options. It's possible to take enemy buildings in a single turn if you throw multiple units against it, but on the other hand non-neutral buildings fight back, eliminating the old APC+dude method.
CO Powers are nifty, ghetto mage lets you set up permanent defense zones with cores the enemy can destroy. Treebeard lets you wall off five squares on the map, it's pretty fun.

I'll never understand games where you and your dog can casually kill humans and mass hunt other docile animals without anyone's judgement, but dogs are invincible and magically respawn when killed. Specially because your dog becomes some kind of god at your side that you never need to take care of or worry about.
Same for children, in games like Fallout 3 that shove children down your throat, yet makes them invincible and lets them get away with everything.

I know that some actually talented pixel artists are going to completely fix the portraits in the near future, but I decided to mess around a bit and see what I could do.
It is honestly incredible that they allowed the game to launch with this art. Someone of my skill level should not be able to improve it this much by screwing around with no effort in Paint.
Also, some of the pixel art from the actual fights that I saw in the trailer was great. Like really really good. It's as if one of their artists was shit and the devs weren't willing to kick them off the team because they have the conflict-avoidant personalities of daycare employees.

This becomes super apparent with the trebuchet attacks/disassembly animations. Someone there is very talented, and thankfully it's their contributions that shine the most. The garbage art like the portraits are thankfully blemishes that can be modified, so the game can be salvaged from being a 8/10 to a solid 10/10. I'm not going to let some faggoty portrait art spoil the rest of what is (so far) a really solid game.

This is really important. A despicable witch or something like a malicious school principal are characters that when made ugly can improve their antagonist position. But a normal character doesn't benefit from uglyness, and even less so a main character. It just forces the player to look at ugly shit for no reason, when the he would rather stare at something that's appealing or arousing.

I agree. I prefer a "historic armor on cute girls" aesthetic over midriff-exposing arrowbait. Unfortunately, the two seem unable to coexist. On the side of historicity, women would not be found on the field of battle where such armor would be worn. Going to the side of fantasy, upper-body strength be damned, that's where you find boob-plate, mail-bikinis, and all the other high-fantasy interpretations of armor (including the stupid-looking jaggy modern-art-in-a-worn-form shit that the guys wear). The two exist in a different medium: if you want functional-looking armor, guys only. If you want cute girls, random bits of metallic plating haphazardly positioned over the body.

Sorry of the delay, I went to bed after that post, anyways;
The AI is painfully retarded and scripted, every single AI for the whole game from start to finish boils down to this exactly; One single good shot and then constant bogeys or pars. Your AI partner you get forced up with is just as retarded but luckily for retarded story reasons whenever you're stuck with a partner they only do one terrible tee shot and then never play for the rest of the round. You think "well that's just match play, tournaments must be harder right?" NOPE.

"but the gameplay anon! Bad AI is one thing, but surely the gameplay is competent!"
YOU THOUGHT FUCKING WRONG
Putting is completely worthless and is the only real bit of challenger in the whole fucking game. There is zero fucking way to tell Borrows/Breaks since the only bit of information regarding the green surface you get is wherever your ball landed. No slope lines or indications like every other fucking golf game in the universe, you're forced to guess. But who needs fucking putting when you can just chip-in constantly form off the green with a 99% success rate? All you need to do to basically guarantee a chip in is to pick a low loft club, aim for the based of the flag pole and boom; chip in. They fucked up the hitbox for the flag and ball physics so it just drops if it hits the flag.
Then you got the "RPG" mechanics. They completely forgot to add in stat balancing so you just distribute 2-3 points on one skill and use the rest to fix any minor reduction in skills you get each time you level up. By the time you hit level 20 you got a 300 yard straight drive.
Not that you needed max stats when all courses are tiny and 9 holes only, you can't even play the "repaired" versions of the courses mentioned at the end of the game.
There is a fuck load more problems with the game I can go on with like the god awful story and characters or completely retarded design choices regarding mini games/side quest but I'll leave it at this. The only good thing to come from this mess is that the NES golf parody minigame became a real NES game, so just hunt down the rom for that instead of every considering playing the dumpster fire that is golf story.

I knew this game was shit when I saw the very first video of it. Advance Wars had a screen-divide between battling units because they used ranged weaponry like firearms and rockets, and the divide was to represent units on two different pieces of terrain attacking each other. Wargroove also uses a screen divide, but it's a medieval fantasy game so lots of units are melee, so these melee units just walk across this screen divide into the enemy's side to attack them. Why? Why not do what Fire Emblem did and separate the units if it's ranged attacks, and combine them into one screen if it's melee attacks?
The reason why is because these devs are superficial morons who don't even understand the shit they're ripping off. They're imitating without understanding, because they're idiotic hacks. Them pussying out on dogs dying in a war game is just further proof that they don't know what the fuck they're doing and are just blindly copying better, more successful games. And it'll probably work because no one else is doing it, like how Stardew Valley became popular in spite of its mediocrity because "HOLY SHIT IT'S LIKE HARVEST MOON BUT ON PC"

Boob plate has the issue of not deflecting a center thrust away from the body, since the armor wasn't just made to stop blows, but to also channel the strike away from the target. Consider the v-shaped bars certain breastplates had to help channel strikes away from the throat area.
Some aesthetic preferences, such as overly long and pointed sabatons, as well as oversized cod pieces, weren't that detrimental once you consider that knights predominantly fought while mounted. Their crotch armor was a thousand pounds of armored horse between their legs.

Doesn't need to penetrate if the force of the blow is enough to dismount the target. And assuming it's of average non-jousting thickness, a well-placed blow from a charging lance will penetrate, especially if the shape of the armor doesn't deflect any of the energy away.

Tumblr noses are not just ugly, they are repulsive to look at. If you want to make the villains look ugly there are better ways (wrinkled face, sunken eyes, hooked nose, deformed features, warts).

Yes, a LANCE from a HORSE will probably penetrate. But that's pretty much the only scenario, and it would penetrate regular armor as well, so it's a moot point.
Simply put, Boob plate is not a big enough weakness to say it wouldn't be used, especially since humans used all kinds of stupid shit.
Look how many helemets there are that are not smooth and round liek a bascient, but have all kind of shit that will make it ease to catch a blow and snap your neck.

No it isn't you nigger, having tried it I can definitely say that indirect units are even more overpowered than in old advance wars and they made sure that you would never ever want to capture buildings before the enemy does - you're stuck in a game of Chicken since first guy to capture gets his HPs in half on the building, attacking is always more important than defending, which would technically be an improvement over the overly defensive strats of AW, but the units you use to attack are way too overpowered.

The download link is in this here thread, but let me give you a rundown of what I've got so far:
The idea of making structures always neutral and sacrificing a footman unit to capture them is interesting in theory, same goes for the structures themselves halfing your unit's HPs (and slowly healing itself back to 10), but in practice it just means that the best strategy is to either play the aforementioned game of chicken or to let the AI waste their units capturing them and using CRITs or just good units to clear the structure. Plus, you can't sit units inside one, meaning that they end up being sort of like impassable tiles - and most maps I've played are quite chokey.
I thought that the maps would get really cluttered, given the weird way they arbitrarily add trees in non forest tiles, but I never felt any real problem with them, color wise the game is really cute and that's the biggest compliment I can give it, like even though you've got no h'white male commanders at least the character design is competent. Not good, just it does the job well enough to pass, 6/10. Graphically speaking it's nowhere near as bad as everyone else is making it to be, however there's like a day and night divide between portraits and units. I can even accept nigger units, but the portraits are really just plain ugly. The voices are also grating and I just think they would have had a much better game if they ditched voice acting and just focused the money they didn't use for their VAs on making a better game. Sound design is really fucked, like, some units have satisfying screams, but generally speaking the sound of weapons hitting other units or shields is almost the same for all weapons, so it sounds really jarring. Music is also really generic, it has this "muh epic" style to it but it's really just forgettable, played half the time with GBA FE/AW games ost in the background.
But yeah the biggest problem is the indirect units, especially the Archers. In other games, indirect units tend to have their one weakness being that you have to position them first, then take the shot next turn, but in Wargroove Archers can stand still and get a CRIT, OR they can work like Battleships in Days of Ruin, meaning you can move them and still attack with their full range. Not only that, they can also counterattack, which is really, really annoying, so usually the strategy is to rush some indirect units early on and then just spam units that fit the map's gimmick.
Hero units are also really, really broken, though you don't feel that as much because one of the victory condition is taking them down, so it's just easier to rely on the overpowered units/CRIT conditions than sending them in the thick of battle. There's some units, like the Aeronaut, who can camp certain tiles, while others, like the Spearman, who get CRITs just for sticking close to another unit of the same kind, so even though the game really wants you to attack all the time it also makes you play extremely dirty with unit placement, you don't feel like you gain strategic upper hands but more like you play to min-max constantly. On that note, there's Heroes' powers, but other than that the factions all play the exact same, at least DoR added back promotions, making you want to save your soldiers from certain death, or other Famicom Wars games had CO Powers, which could determine your gameplan and make you adapt to the enemy's. Not here though, you just min-max your way to victory.
Overall it's an okay game, and that's the worst part - it's bad enough that it won't last past a few months, but it's not so much that it won't leave its mark and I really can't stress how many people want a fucking Advance Wars styled game without having to wait twenty years for Nu-tendo to wake up. It'll sell a lot and not for its merits.

Why not simply reinforce the sternum by intentionally forging it at a higher thickness than the surrounding contiguous breastplate or forge-welding another reinforcing plate/strip on the interior or exterior of a uniform one, then? At that point you have two highly deflective, crush resistant pre-deformations, with a reinforcing spine between them that is deceptively difficult to dent or pierce. The overall area you can hit squarely from many angles is reduced, and a large dead space inside the armor is created since the wearer is still going to bind their breasts down for practicality.
It's a lot of extra work for pure vanity, but you ultimately won't lose out on defense or suffer any meaningful weight increase on the already far lighter than popularly believed platemail, especially since the armor is purpose designed for a smaller female frame. The boobs might be a small gain in overall effectiveness at that point.

>>16098402
>let's make armor which funnels all blows from the generally well-protected torso up to the structurally weaker throat and chin
Literally all non-flat plate armor does that. Because it's an outward bulging dome, which cannot by design deflect blows square to the upper section anywhere but up. It's why sharply angled bevors and thick gorgets are a thing, to protect the neck from these deflections as much as from intentionally directed attack.
The only thing the boobs will do is slightly change the deflection dynamics since the bulge center(s) will be higher on the chest instead of on the mid-abdomen (this displacement may be a slight loss in defense in some respects, not because of 'muh neck deflection,' but because the stomach, which is not given natural protection by the ribcage, will be protected by slightly flatter plate than the waspy gutbulge design, possibly compensated by thickening the plate for the overall smaller area on a female frame) and maybe create a pseudo-exploitable shot trap in the sternum if it's a split breast type. A trap that generally will not be facing the enemy squarely anyways, because you don't fight an opponent chest completely flat on.
It's vanity, but it doesn't meaningfully affect your very hard to crack tin can armor, because it is still platemail with a couple curveball constructional angle changes. Which means you still have to either fussily stab the enemy perfectly on the joints or get a perfectly square blow on a plate area that is flat relative to you that will likely result in the sticking loss of your stabbing implement, beat them into exhaustion/dented up broken boned mobility kill with a mace, hammer or Mordschlag grip, and/or stick them right in the eyes or throat with a tiny dagger sized estoc. Or pepper them with high draw weight crossbow fire/blast straight through with an arquebus or musket. If you want to be realistically minded, kvetch about ladies fighting in the first place, not the personalized and still 99% functional armor in a fantasy setting where significant numbers of women are capable of serving as first or even second-tier front line combatants in armies or adventuring parties. You're losing the forest for the trees and trying too hard.

>When did his teeth start looking that bad?
The density of food affects the facial features. People who eat soft food end up with a deformed face as opposed to people who have to use their muscles. It comes down to the fact that the facial bones are not one giant solid bone, muscles do affect appearance. If eating only mushy food can make you look like an inbred retard, there is no telling what only feeding on liquid soy will do to you. (appropriately enough, vampires also feed only on liquid. Has Cosmo become a literal soy vampire?)
