What did /v/ think of the Digital Monster Story Time Stranger the video game demos?
Needs more women fightinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S9lXzSgdYt4
>>721740510Liked that it had a speed up feature for combat. Knowing the roster was decided pre 2020 annoys me tho
>>721740970What kind of weirdo wants monster girls in their computers?
>>721740510Kind of short, and full of points of no return, especially the boss fight that then just prevents you from being able to fight for the rest of the demo. If you wanted to scan and level more digimon, hopefully you made a save before the fight and didn't overwrite it, or you've got to start from scratch. I quickly adopted the rotating save strategy after realizing this.
>>721740510frussy
>>721740510The demo was shit, but the game will be kino.
>>721740970What the fuck was Angewomon's problem?
damn, guess she's too powerful lol
>>721742125Remember when the anime tried its best to convince us she was somehow ugly?
Never played a digimon game. Enjoyed the demo, but won't drop $70 for it, and even at $40 I'd hesitate due to denuvo.
>>721744992She had a different way of being drawn back then, her face was all scrunched up and she had a lanky stick body. Nowadays she's just a fully fed anime girl.
>>721740510After playing CS and Dusk simultaneously for the last week, I like a lot of the changes they've made for TS but they haven't gone far enough.Good: the return of (near) infinite stat gain. I'm not one of those people who wants to beat the game with my "favourite" or whatever, but one major problem with CS was that there was literally no reason to dedigivolve, ever, to the point where the game had to force you to do it by locking strong Megas behind it.Good: speed up function, obviously.Good: returning to the digimon loading system from Lost Evolution, where you could get lots of stats from it. Both Dusk and CS had really weird digimon loading that felt like a waste. You might think it's bad to be able to abuse systems like this, but Dusk lets you start the digivolve / dedigivolve abuse practically instantly and create an entire team of Uber God digimon WITHOUT even needing to grind, so it's baked into the game's DNA. I'd rather have the feature be good and meaningful.Good: Traits on personalities. In practice this is probably a bad change but in theory I like the idea of differentiating digimon more by movesets and resistances.Bad: Interconnecting digivolution trees are a mistake and take a lot of the soul out of digivolving. The hawkmon tree or Tanemon tree or snowagumon tree in Dusk are peak fucking soul. Being limited forces you to engage with the systems the game gives you.Bad: The movesets seem really boring again like CS. I can't imagine there's a reason to dedigivolve my champion to a different rookie and level that up to 40 to get a particular move, for instance. That's something that happened all the time in Dusk. Moves were allowed to be temporally overpowered in a way that you wanted, rather than being "the same 75 power move but it's lightning now :)".Bad: They should go back to Dusk's encounters. Up to 5 enemies, moves with varying hitboxes. It's so easy and it adds so much to the game compared to 3v3, single hit or aoe move.
>>721740510In genuine disbelief at how shit it looks. It's like its a vita game just ported directly over. I cant believe they're still doing the same format of 1 bespoke animation and then generic dogshit elemental attacks.
>>721746767>Good: returning to the digimon loading system from Lost Evolution, where you could get lots of stats from it.Only issue is that it seems there's no restrictions on it in TS. In Lost Evolution you had to at least gather scan data of the same Species Digimon and max their friendship before you can feed them to something else, it doesn't seem to be the case anymore since they sadly ditched the farm. There was at least a layer of separation from regular gameplay and balance so people weren't drawn to specifically abusing it.
>>721748257The farm is in the game
>>721747456Toddler hands typed this post
>>721746372Amusing because this time ranamon is using vpets design.
>>721740510Is it true that Ranamon and Calamarimon can switch with each other during combat?
>>721740510>Ranamon>No Fairymonutter bullshit
>>721749538Apparently yes
>>721744992JP script just call her old.
>>721740510I'm not a braindead waifufag or yurifag so I don't pretend the turn based story games are good. They can have my money when they make a proper DW1 style game again. I'd also settle for DW3 or Survive but with good gameplay.
awwwwyeeehhhhh lets go, hurry up october
>>721740510The recent poll surprises me the most.
>>721750481Okay, gramps. It's time for your meds now, you can tell me about how Machinedramon is the ultimate Digimon later.
>>721743367Pent up lust from being around Hikari.
>>721747456Posts like this and people like you are exactly why game budgets are inflating. I hope you understand how you're a problem.
>>721750481You're never getting one, and there are now a number of factors why >No one at Bandai who worked on World 1 is still there>No one at Bandai who works on Digimon has worked on a real time game in years >World 1 is considered archaic to the point that they haven't even bothered re-releasing it which is the laziest way to drum up excitement ever And most damning of all >World 1 and its story, atmosphere is the exact opposite of what they want from Digimon nowadays, which is an intense story-driven RPG instead of a comfy monster raising game. Sadly, World 1 and its identity is now toast. Nobody would put up with things like Age limits and Bathroom schedules in a modern digimon game even though that was the thing that got people to think outside of the box in World 1.
>>721747456>It's like its a vita game just ported directly over.You could not give a more glowing review of this game than "It looks like a vita game just ported directly over". I'm pretty sure most of the staff were former Vita game aficionados.
>>721751316They've already said that they are open to making more World games if there's enough noise about them, but there isn't much call from the fanbase to make them at the moment. There's also the issue of nobody accepting anything they do make because it will inevitably be different from World 1.
>>721751316most important for me:>Tri and Kazuna confirmed that they are never putting any budget into Digimon ever againSo outsourcing to a competent studio who could do those things are right out.>>721751518Personally I wouldn't trust them with making it themselves. World 1 came at a very different time in the video game industry and I doubt they would understand what made world 1 magical.
>>721751654There's no doubt, have you seen RE: digitized and Next Order?
>>721750967>picking demidevimon when you can literally make your own in the demobell curve midwit moment
>>721751126Pipe down, SEAmonkey zoomer.>>721751316World also allows for nonlinear story telling focused on the digimon themselves instead of shitty fapbait human characters, but they'd never go in that direction now. But yes, the loss of artistic and gameplay design talent is lamentable.
>>721740510Why was the last thread deleted? Can we not talk about games anymore?
>>721752258I mean in the actual game you can make them all, this isn't pokemon your starter doesn't really matter
>>721752319presumably because some mod felt that witchmon pic was way too sexual
>>721752258It's not like people knew it was an option when you get to choose your starter.
>>721752386yeah but you can get earlier access to an otherwise completely unavailable in the demo selection of rookies
>>721752258This directly describes why the digivolution tree in CS and this game are hot fucking garbage. Babies digivolve into too many things and it's too easy to get from one digimon to another and there are no lockouts. Even if they tried to lock you out, you could just find a way around it. In Dusk, if they wanted to lock you out of everything past Demidevimon for most of the game, all they had to do was add a "hasDemidevimon" condition to digivolve into demidevimon. Or let you have access to a digimon early on whose tree you wouldn't be able to get for 2-3 more dungeons. In CS, you just digivolve into Unimon and you can access every fucking digivolution tree after a few hours.They just have no balls. It's too soft and easy.
I can't believe there are people that like World 1 but don't like Next Order. If having a cutscene every couple hours, actually giving you an idea of how to raise your digimon properly, and "soul" are your make or breaks, you can't have liked the actual game that much. You're just looking at prerendered backgrounds and imagining a better game in your head when you play World 1 than the game you're actually playing. Next Order is a perfectly fine game if a bit ugly to look at, and is way more fun to actually play and get involved with beyond exploring the map for the first time.
>>721753483Setting aside everything else, exploration amd progression in NO are complete dogshit compared to DW1, and that's a huge part of what made it good.
>>721745385That's alright. Stay a while and discuss Digimon with us. Maybe try some older game like Next Order or maybe watch Ghost Game
>>721746767>Good: the return of (near) infinite stat gain9999 in all stats makes team composition pointless>Good: returning to the digimon loading system from Lost EvolutionNot saying it's bad, but it's a bit too broken. You gen 20xp from defeating 2 baby digimon and 200% scan. Converting that and the loading, gives 500xp to your digimon of choice on top of extra stats. Makes no fucking sense>Bad: Interconnecting digivolution trees are a mistake and take a lot of the soul out of digivolving.Kinda agree but DS games made it too restrictive and arbitrary. It just shouldn't branch backwards. I'm ok with both Agumon and Hackmon becoming Greymon, but if i evolve my Agumon into Greymon, de-evolution should only allow me to go back to Agumon, not Agumon>Greymon>Hackmon. Game keeps track of every digimon's evolution history, it can't be that hard to keep in check.
>>721746767>Bad: The movesets seem really boring again like CS. I can't imagine there's a reason to dedigivolve my champion to a different rookie and level that up to 40 to get a particular move, for instance.I swear to god, why are Digimon devs so allergic to just copying the moveset system from Digimon World 2
>>721754027>9999 in all stats makes team composition pointlessIt didn't in any of the DS games, so I don't see why it would now.
>>721752258Dont care, still picking Demidevimon since hes my favourite of the 3
>>721753483The World part of NO just isn't as good. And this isn't a graphical thing, it's a layout and setting thing. What you can find, how it reacts to you, and what you need to do to find it just don't hold a candle to the original File Island. To put it in a way that might be easier to understand. If this were a platformer, imagine a sequel where it controls much better, but the level design is worse. That's Next Order.
>>721752258>metafagging a digimon gameabsolutely retardedmon
Bandai better make her part of a free update
>>721742125>made the ugly evo hotgooner game
>>721752258People didn't realize that and I think most people don't care, they choose male MC because it's the first one and demidevimon because it's not Patamon. I don't get the patamon or terriermon hate this fanbase has.
>>721754957People who hate Terriermon aren't deserving of human rights.
>>721754715She's been hot for a while now
is this game also filled with stupid walls of texts, endless corridors and awful combat?
>>721755271I can only confirm that last one.
>>721755137Agreed.
>>721752660Im sure you can get all of thos pretty early
>>721755271I'm not gonna sugarcoat it, yes to all. You're welcome, I just saved you 70 dollaridos+tip.
>>721754957People hate them?
>>721753439Why? All the mons are streamlined anyway other than their signature move. Dawn/Dusk was fucking dogshit with the arbitrary limitations to try to scam you for paying double for the other half of the game just like pokemon does every generation.How about you let me fucking play with my favorites whenever I unlock the evolution tier instead of cucking me out of using Obscuremon because some retard only thinks you should be allowed to play him after you've beaten the game?
>>721755271>yes>remains to be seen>yesat least they bothered to implement a skip dialog/cutscene feature this time
>>721754957The fuck are you talking about, women love patamon.
>>721755496There's significant Patamon dislike online and idk why exactly, I think it's because of the bat wings
>>721754957patamon and his digidestined were just whiny brats for 90% of ADVENTUUUUUUURE and his power level was way higher than it should be for his evolution level.
>>721755645women, sadly, don't play digimon.
>>721755840They do now since they added a bunch of shotamon.
>>721755648Patamon is just boring
>>721755519Why do we need to equalize everything in order to let you do that? Can't you simply learn how to make a good enough team to work with a weaker unit?
>>721740510>denuvoNo game is worth 70 bucks and then another 50 just to have the complete experience.
can't we just have a porn game already
>>721756030what weaker unit? faggot have you even booted up any of the Story games? all the mons play the same
>>721756321I'm trying to be angry at that guy for enabling Digimon JRPGs being so shitty because of that. I think I am now confused about who is who. Or something else I can't tell anymore.
>>721756321Every Story game has differences between Digimon, you obviously haven't played them or have never actually gotten far in them.
>>721744992I mean compared to Ranamon
>>721756030lmaoplay CS's original hard mode without speedgarglermon or HM hard mode without DEF ignoring sigs, i'll wait
okay but why is he a diaper baby? why he has diapers?
>>721757019he's still recovering from DW3
/v/ is very serious about digimon.
Is my boy Agumon in?
>>721757278too obscure
>>721751654>Tri and Kazuna confirmed that they are never putting any budget into Digimon ever againDidn't Ghost Game actually look decent to pretty good for a few action sequences
>>721757278He got replaced by HitlerAgumon
>>721757278nothe only agumon reskin who made it it was fuhreragumon
>>721756782CS and HM have the same "every digimon playing the same" issue. So when 1 or 2 digimon have a noticeable advantage over all the others, it becomes the meta pick. If the digimon in that game had better individuality, there would be checks and balances keeping them from being the only good pick. You keep posting that thinking it's a counter, but it's the reason why sanding down 90% of what makes a party member in a jrpg unique is a retarded idea.
>>721757278Only if you buy the Ultimate Edition.
>>721757547You haven't played the game at all. The Digimon not playing the same is one of the biggest criticisms about CS, the fact that they don't is specifically why the combat is balanced horribly and most Digimon are useless.
This game uses a new combat system from CS, right? Say it's so, please
Do I need to finish Cyber Sleuth to play this or are they separate stories?
>>721758031no>>721758072seperate
>>721757717That's just an early unlock. You can still get Agumon normally, you just need to max out your Valor skill tree.
>>721758072Standalone storyline most likely, but still connected in the background.
>>721757717That's specifically to gain access to agumon that can immediately jump to the ugly kizuna forms early. You literally get a free agumon in the prologue/tutorial
>>721758110It's the exact same?
>>721757278
>>721758173>>721758462Did you honestly believe I was being serious when I claimed you had to spend $120 to use Agumon?
>>721758648I've seen real people think that was the case desu
>>721758548Where is he?
>>721758530i mean theres little changes but if you hated cs you arent gonna like this
>>721757717what is this a reference to?
>>721757907I did play it. And it is my biggest complaint. 10 hours in, and the battles were the same as they were a half hour in. Nothing changed except that the numbers have increased. If the digimon actually were definable, there'd be way fewer useless ones because then we'd get some gimmicky ones that are good in specific situations. But because all that defines a digimon are 1 passive and signature skill the one that's the best is way easier to pick out. If you want more digimon to not be useless, giving each one only 1 thing to make them stand out is the wrong way because whoever has the best of those is the best one.>>721758031Have you seen the demo? Same shit, but there are now generic element multi-hit moves.
>>721758824Tending to the oven somewhere else.
>>721758904no, is swimsuit towel sexy uuoohh pack because coom
>>721758530The combat is extremely similar except now abilities are chosen from a pool of 30ish generic ones instead of specific to each digimon, party size is reduced to 6+ guests, and digimon now have individual elemental weaknesses instead of just having an elemental type.You still have 1-2 signature moves and 4 generic moves. You still have the Vaccine/Data/Virus triangle. It still handles almost exactly the same as CS.
>>721754957Terriermon and Lopmon are cute but their evolutions suck aesthetically
>>721759131>are cute but their evolutions suck aestheticallyWRONG
>>721754027You've got it exactly with backwards branching. It feels like shit to digivolve your agumon to greymon and then be shown, basically, a list of reasons why that digivolution wasn't special. It could have been any of these five generic digimons, it didn't have to be your agumon.
>>721758648I mean this is /v/
>>721759131Respectfully disagree, I think Antylamon and Cherubimon (virus) are the coolest evolutions ever.
>>721740510I boughted it. First vidya purchase in 5 months.
>>721758910There are Digimon you pick for specific niches and gimmicks, them being definable and having distinct stat differences is exactly why there's so many shit Digimon in CS. No matter how strong the individual piercing move is a DPS is still completely fucking useless unless it has the stats to actually deal damage with it, this is why Lilithmon invalidates all other DPS in the game including ATK Piercers and why Chaosmon is shit despite his technically good on paper two unique attacks. There more you define them, the less ones are actually "viable" options to pick because as you said there'll always be an obviously objectively stronger option that you're just gimping yourself if you do not take.There has always been clear differences between Digimon in the Story titles, you just don't know anything about them. Even the DS games with 9999 stat autism have different stat growth spreads for most of the time that you'll use them and different immutable traits like Passives.
Is there a place to grind that isn't the Tower? I went to the Digital World but I didn't try to leave the egg area thinking that I wouldn't be immediately sent back to the normal world in like 2 cutscenes.
>>721759306He looks like he's wearing a water balloon with how the desing is bottom heavy
>>721759654the game comes out in a couple days might as well wait
>>721759131I'm a Lopmon fag and I agree. Antylamon is fine, but I never liked Wendigomon or Cherubimon. Teruiemon feels like an overcorrection and it doesn't fit with the rest of the line. Gonna be turning mine into Dianamon.I think Terriermon's line is fine, though. But they probably should've relegated Rapidmon to an Armor evolution and given him a more fitting Ultimate. It's weird to go from Barret Wallace to Gundam Heavyarms with some skinny dude in-between.
>>721740510>>721742125>>721750967>he plays the male protagonist instead of the literal fucking goddessWhy is /v/ filled with so many fucking faggots?
>>721759720He is basically a corrupted angelic clown/buffoon rabbit, he's supposed to look like an evil clown with that thing on his neck, the fat belly, etc...
>>721759789>Antylamon is finemore than fine, Antylamon is fucking awesome.
>>721759885I hate the tiny hat
>>721759981im 99.9% sure we will be able to remove the hat or choose another in game.
>>721759885>not wanting to have a harem of womons and a cute flight attendant sisterwife to act as your secretary
>>721760042I hope so, I don't mind being the boy until we get some decent outfit unlocks though.
>>721760218for a sec I read wormmon...
>>721759885Because then I gotta listen to the dude nag me every 5 seconds instead of the flight attendantAnd you can literally change on the fly so it's not like it matters
>>721759885Faggot digimon "fans" like you are why they'll never make anything of actual quality in this franchise again.
>>721758824Wanted poster
>>721759958I would have hated him if I didn't see how the virus one moves in the movie, he's so cool there.
>>721760378Didn't even noticed, thank you Anon!
>>721759958All the Devas have fucking awesome designs, not a single one is bad.Except maybe the chicken and the mouse...
>>721760359Nobody cares about your posturing, anon.
Post the niggest digimon
>>721760574>posturingIt's not posturing. I'm stating facts. You're a braindead shit eater and it's a shame that studios can pander to people like you, put in 0 effort, the tiniest amount of money, and make a return on their investment.
>>721759885I dont have agp
>>721760669Yes, yes. You're so smart and intelligent, only your favourite games are good and they don't have any flaws at all actually. You're so cool and in fact your penis is really amazing, I hear.
>>721740510Looks like a ps3 game
>>721760870>only your favourite games are good and they don't have any flaws at all actually.My favorite Digimon game is DW1 and it's incredibly flawed. Being sarcastic like a cunty woman (and being blatantly wrong to boot) doesn't make you sound clever or aloof, it just highlights what a dumb faggot you are.
>>721760621Gawappamon
>>721760430Ok sure. Motion can convince me even if I don't like the design initially. Much like the first beatbreak trailer got me to dismiss the fact that the main digimon felt off design wise.
>>721760378damn that's a good catch
>>721742125>>721740510Both of them seem to be playing up the aquatic creature aspects in how they move.
>>721760989>My favorite Digimon game is DW1Yes, we know. You're a "fan" who only likes one title and calls everything and everyone garbage without understanding any of it.
>>721760621Trust the search results
>>721757468Ghost Game was the best thing to happen to the franchise in years. Too bad it underperformed
>>721758824When is he coming back?We need a Final form
>>721759550No, the games were just garbage at defining them. Not only did it just fuck up several times like you mentioned, the attribute triangle made every battle go by in like 3 turns, even on hard mode. So you never got a chance to see any of the differences properly. Idea vs execution needs to be factored in as well. I can't just say that one part of a game was bad, so it should never be tried again. Why it was bad and how it could be turned good are important things to ask.That whole digimon homogenization would work better in a World-type game because it's easier to personalize your pet. It being in a standard JRPG is a bad idea because it is a genre built on different characters working together. You would need to make a JRPG that uses a unique system for something like that to work and the modern Digimon Story games do not do that.
>>721757468Go watch ghost game. It's great! Only things I wish it had was one decompression episode after the finale and two episodes along the season where evolution was not necessary to solve the plot.
>>721761538>You're a "fan" who only likes one titleI like several of the games and anime. That's just the best game.>calls everything and everyone garbageNo, just the shit eating retarded faggots like you.
>>721759885I think you can change? I'm definitely going to have Boy on one mission + Girl on next
>>721760970games really don't need to look better than ps2 era
>>721761538being a shit-eating cultist is nothing to be proud of
>>721759131The only bad ones are Turuiemon and SaintGalgomon. The rest of both of their lines are fine.
>>721762327Anon.
>>721761538>Yes, we know.>weDon't pretend anyone here is on your side, FeMC tranny.
>>721763014SaintGalgomon is 999999x better than Rapidmon.
>>721759885She sounded like a hag and I hate it, at least Dan's seiyuu put any effort to sounds a bit chuuni.
>>721759885i'm playing the male for as long as the secretary constantly pestering you on your phone has voicelines. then i might switch over maybe.
>>721763014Not gargomon?
>>721740510Nintendo should sue
>>721763357He's cute and a fitting followup from Terriermon
>>721763261Just play on PC and mod the game so you can have a sexy MC model + her twin sister pretending to not be related on the phone.
>>721763014I don't like SaintGalgomon's face. There's something really weird about it.
>>721763357shut the fuck up he is a bro and his hands are machine guns and he is a fuzzy mancubus from doom
Is he in?
>>721764032Who?
>>721764032I expect them to keep milking cameos like they did with Rina and Sayo in Cyber Sleuth, but I think Ryo's off the table by this point. It doesn't help that the Story games now have their own cameo character with a partner Cyberdramon to bring back.
>>721764032I think it would be hilarious if he randomly showed up in a game again after like 20 years of absence, and we could even fight Millenniummon together with him, but there's no way.
>>721764032thankfully not
>>721759885Why would I play as the girl?I get to be surrounded by hot Digigirls and have a girl in my phone while being a Sentai hero. Why would I give that up?
>>721764549>This is technically possible since Ryo was a game original character firstImagine the reactions if it ever happened.
So... Is anybody gonna crack the game through the demo files like they did with Metaphor?
>>721767170I feel you could do something sillier, but I dunno if it should be Akiyama + Tominaga or Ryo + Mirei.
>>721767230The full game is needed first. Demo is very scrubbed in terms of usable assets. Like they had to patch in Digimon that should have been available in the demo but were not like Paildramon.
>>721740510>gallantmon>chaos gallantmon>megagargomon>black megagargomon>Sakuyamon>kazuhamonWHY CANT THEY STICK WITH A NAMING CONVENTION?
>>721767660They aren't related to each other beyond simply being the counterparts to show main characters. Black Saint Galgomon and Kuzuhamon aren't chaotic, Kuzuhamon and Chaos aren't black. Do you want Herzogmon Mega Greyhoundmon?
>>721762672The supreme mishandling of Ghost Game's ending will have me angry until I die. I really liked most of the episodes, but a lot of them were totally inconsequential and it ended up feeling like they faffed around for too long, got fucked by schedule slips, and then had to jam a 10 episode final arc into half as much time. We know they planned for more; there's shit on the soundtrack and Digimon designs that never materialized like Arcturusmon and Proximamon.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qimv1lYhwsMThe track is "Extinction and Regeneration", which lines up pretty damn well with Proximamon's attack names.But also>the episode where Hiro saw a bunch of dead bodies half-eaten by spiders>the episode where Ruli got mushroom-raped on screen>the multiple episodes where Digimon just fucking kill people in cold bloodAbsolute cinema.
Why do they hate her? Will she ever be in a Digimon game or V-pet?
>>721768049whats so chaotic about chaos gallantmon? hes just purple like kazuhamon which gets its own name for what ever reason
>>721768254Instead of being a theoretically dangerous guy who works hard to protect others, he inflicts cruelty wherever he goes.
>>721768246Lilymon is supposed to be pure, not a bancho
>>721768457that seems pretty predictable is that really chaotic?
>>721768460>Lilymon is supposed to be pure
>>721768613In terms of opposite of order, yes.
>>721768657
>>721768158>>the multiple episodes where Digimon just fucking kill people in cold bloodAt first it seemed very cutesy like everything was reversible and nobody died. So the first death caused by a digimon (was it the darklizardmon episode?) hit pretty hard. It signalled that they were not aftraid to do it.
>>721768254ChaosDukemon is Megidramon's humanoid form, while Kuzuhamon isn't even evil according to lore, just a weaker less skilled Sakuyamon that's slightly more specialized in being an assassin
>>721768460I have evidence to prove you incorrect
>>721769502>ChaosDukemon is Megidramon's humanoid formwhy not be more of a wargreymon-esque design (as in dinosaur man)>slightly more specialized in being an assassinthat could have been more ninja looking or somethingpost world 1 do we really need recolors?
>>721761128>Motion can convince me even if I don't like the design initially.I hated Rebellimon until his episode in Colon
>>721768158GG took a small hiatus around episode 12 or 13, and up until that point we were getting small but noticeable progression both in main story and character development.After the show came back, all of that stopped completely.It's my theory that something happened during the hiatus and the original plans for GG's narrative were completely scrapped and the staff were made to produce a horror anthology show without any real continuity when it clearly wasn't meant to be that originally.Bet you they had to fight to get three episodes for the ending.
>>721770010He's so cool man.
>>721770386When was the circus clusterfuck episode? That's around when I lost interest. I remember the "No! You can't kill them!" stuff got annoying, and then everyone said the show never hit the highs it hit early on again.
>>721769829>post world 1 do we really need recolors?Black digitron
>>721769829The actual reason for ChaosGallantmon being a recolor is that he was a toy originally.
>>721740510You get anything special for defeating that big guy hanging out in the lobby? I just ran away from the battle when I saw my mons doing like 8 damage to it
>>721768158>and Digimon designs that never materialized like Arcturusmon and Proximamon.It was confirmed these 2 were not made for the show though.
>>721753483Next Order is dogshit and I dont even like the W1 styled games.Two partners is a horrible idea on the timed lifespan system that can be made out of sync, the crafting/material addition is tedious time pissing in a game where time matters and they massively fucked up by removing care mistake hearts so traversing through different Digimon is absolute agony.Neck yourself if you go around suggesting it to people. Its as agonizing to play as DW3
Is the TCG worth getting into?
>>721770960iirc you get a consumable that increases talent by 5, it's nothing important
>>721767660>chaos gallantmonLiterally just the royal knight previously tasked with maintaining the order of the digital world, but he's losing to the digital hazard in him.>black megagargomonHe's named that way because he has Black Digitron mixed into his data, just like BlackMachGaogamon and one or two of the Omegamon alternate forms too.>Sakuyamon>kazuhamonThey're both just names of a goddess and a yokai.Pretty consistent.
>>721769829They are popular. Plus Data+Darkness means Kuzuhamon is a useful niche for game balance.
>>721771049Lolno. The art is nice but its too busy trying to be a Yugioh clone with fucking floodgates and having the Digimon be disposables you recycle. Play the PS1 game Digital Card Battle and go no further.
>>721771049yes, just play the (unofficial) online version
>>721771002Maybe it was a result of getting COVID-fucked or an early pivot apparently regarding zoomer attention spans, but it feels really bizarre to not design all the way to Mega for your evil doppleganger, and Proximamon is such an obvious "opposites combine" Mega+ form (see Omnimon, Imperialdramon, Susanoomon, etc.). It just feels bizarre for them to say that they didn't design it for their flagship product of the set, but instead for the fucking what, Vital Bracelet?
>>721771048>Next Order is dogshit and I dont even like the W1 styled games.Well if you don't like that style then of course you don't like Next Order>removing care mistake heartsThis never existed. The hearts in DMW1 were your Digimon's life points and decreased when losing battle. Your care mistakes have never been tracked.
uhh guys?
>>721771750Gulus Gammamon punches way above his weight class. If there was a level 6 in the show, then it probably would have resulted in TPK and him talking to a split in half Hiro.
>>721772018Which names they go with are a crapshoot. These are usually compliant to Bandai of America products at some point.
>>721772130I noticed they did that in dusk as well
>>721771750It also doesn't feel very believable when the Gammamon BEM released just after Episode 52 aired.Arcturusmon and Proximamon had to have been designed for some time prior to that, which is already three months prior to the episode where Regulusmon debuted.They sure as shit didn't have these episodes already produced or anything, and there clearly wasn't a solid plan in place for the narrative. There was time for this shit.
>>721772064That's just conservation of Digimon ninjutsu. Antagonist Megas are as strong as 3-6 protagonist Megas because the protagonists have to team up to save the day. Maybe if Diarbbitmon and Amphimon weren't totally ancillary to the Gammamon-GRB-Endbringer plotline, they could balance out the curbstomp.
>>721772231The plan was Gammamon -> ??? -> Sirusmon VS Regulusmon, which is reflective in their designs. Everything else was the make up as go along.
>>721772437But Regulusmon is a dragon, which parallels Canoweissmon. Siriusmon is a knight, which parallels Arcturusmon. The fact that they fucked up the parallel is blatantly obvious.
>>721772437>which is reflective in their designsHow?Do you remember what they look like?
>>721771752Point of me telling you that the DW1 style games arent something I like is to platform that N0s take on it is so fucking bad I have to make an explicit note on it. They genuinely make the entire thing WORSE and it goes from not liking to fucking hating.You know what I meant with the hearts and thats all that matters.
>>721770386You can blame the intended target audience for that (actual Japanese children) since Toei thinks they're too dumb for a plot driven series. It makes me fear that Beat Break will have the same monster of the week format without much plot progression once it airs.
>>721772929>You know what I meant with the hearts and thats all that matters.But you brought it up because it makes "traversing through Digimon absolute agony"Which is not trueBecause the hearts never had anything to do with thatNO also has so many, many additional features and QoL improvements that make it easier than ever to navigate different evolutions. And just an easier game in general.
>>721772914It stops being a great value version of Regulusmon and manages to surpass with brother.
>>721773105im so tired of executives, jjk and demon slayer are like the most popular things ever right now, kids can pay attention to a fucking story
>>721773105Well, they were fucking wrong because literally the year before they did Adventure:, which was obviously successful enough for an immediate follow-up.And if you just look at all the most popular children's manga and anime even today... it's all serialized narratives.Toei didn't know their demographic at all.
>>721772606It was kind of telegraphed with how Siriusmon's profile brings up new concepts and Arcturusmon's talks about it being a theoretical Digimon and lacks anything particularly new.
>>721761128Just look at Dinobeemon, it's the epitome of "looks like shit when standing still but awesome when moving". Funny enough Imperialdramon is the exact opposite, looks rad as fuck when still but when it's time for it to move it becomes a flying brick.
>>721773856When do we get to see Dinobeemon move
>>721774128https://youtu.be/TALLbCigPTE?si=MIovrHTETiF8oDJs&t=1140
>>721774346THANK god that the battle theme is better than cs holy shit that one was so awful
>>721773856I'm gonna say what everyone fears to admit. Raidramon and Imperialdramon Dragon Mode are the only cool Veemons.
this is a digimon in 2025
>>721747456Still looks better than Pokemon Zeh.
>>721774527>Omegamon, but uses his own head as a hand.
>>721774527This is Omega's halloween costume
>>721774527When I saw this guy, the first thing that came to mind was Craniummon.
>>721774478they're all cool
>>721774478AreoVdramon is cool too you fucking idiot.
>>721774715Damn right they are.Xveemon is the least cool, I think. Less cool than Veedramon, at least;
Won't be able to buy the game cause had to pay a large sum for my cats surgery. Hope you guys have fun
>>721774680Dullahamon really is good feeling among spooky guys, knight guys, and even horse guys.
>>721773386>>721773407Digimon and self destruction is practically a law of nature at this point. Oh yeah, let's release the next generation of our monster-catching JRPG in the same month as the next Pokemon title, absolutely brilliant!
>>721774794Will do anon.I imagine that it won't take long for it to go on sale if that's an y consolation.
>>721774735>AreoVdramonI forget he exists all the time, so I stand corrected. The rest are kinda lame though.
>>721774527>>721774680Wouldn't it be funny if Enbarrmon Craniummon turned out to be Dullahamon?
I just need to know if they balanced the endgame properly instead of forcing you to use Lilithmon if you wanted to do any damage
>>721774996Nah, they are probably just convergent evolution based on a perceived opportunity like Skullseadramon/Sharkmon to the Pendulum Z Deep Savers new fish.
>>721774779Nah Magnamon is the least cool. He just has a funny attack name.>>721774964Paildramon is also cool and I forgot him.
>>721775048Well there aren't species-specific Pierce skills anymore. The total of balance is unknown.
>>721775114I really like Magnamon.
Just fucking put them in...
>>721775048Lilithmon was just for big dick damage, any piercing mons except AOE and few Digimon fucked over by stats were fine for Hard mode. But yes, they almost certainly did fix those issues.
>>721773386Demon Slayer barely has a story
>>721775212there's already enough greymon and garurumon varients as it is, we really don't need more
>>721775232lets not be obtuse here, it has a continuous story where each chapter/episode progresses the plot even if its simple
>>721775212I agree. We need more greymon and garurumon.You can never have enough.Is Kaisergreymon in the game? I love that guy.>>721775165
>>721775354>Kaisergreymonyes
>>721775212Does anyone ACTUALLY like the Ancient Grey and Garuru Spirits? KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon are so much cooler. The Ancient Spirits are too stiff and blocky looking.
>>721775354Yes kaiser is in the game he and Magnagaruru are carried over from hackers memory
>>721775610I just want all the Ancient Spirits
>>721775551>>721775631Fuck yeah.Man, I really need the team to comport something like 20 digimon or so.
>>721775704this isnt real is it?
>>721774920Time Stranger's release date was released first if I remember right.Would've been a bitch move to delay it, especially when we've been waiting for it for so long.And TS is not releasing on Switch so it's not really competing.At any rate, there's palpable hype for TS the likes of which a Digimon game release has never seen. I think it'll be fine.
>>721740510>Demo with DenuvoI didn't think anything because I didn't play it.I'll look into it in 6 months or whatever once it's on a discount and hopefully with Denuvo removed.
>>721774412There's a menu that lets you change the battle music to whatever you want, too.
>>721775767No that's a purchasable product.
>>721775767No that's purchasable product that came out recently
>>721775610AncientGreymon is cool as fuck, but AncientGarurumon is gay. On the other hand Magnagarurumon I can't imagine anyone liking, and KaiserGreymon is just inoffensive and boring.
>>721775927I love magnagarurumon and kaisergreymon.
>>721775354>Gets powered up by another digimon dying in a suicide attack>Uses a move called Extreme JihadWhat did Yggdrasil mean by this?
>>721775786I think they put denuvo on the demo after the past couple of major denuvo games with a demo were cracked in a way that used the non-denuvo using demo to unlock the whole game without having to crack the denuvo of the full game.Happened with Metaphor Refantazio at least, in recent memory.
>>721776073I don't get why, but that's okay. I really don't like how he looks overall or that he's a doberman now instead of cool robot wolf, it's also kind of lame how Susanomon basically ignores his design entirely aside from the tassels on his back.
>>721775927I dont get how someone woudnt like this, its so cool
>>721776348And the legs.
>>721776436and crotch
>>721776436Yeah, but he's 80% KaiserGreymon, 10% Magnagarurumon and 10% Omegamon. I think he'd be cooler with more of the robot or gun side in the fused design.
>>721776348The bit on his gun combine with the hilt of Kaiser's sword to become Susanoo's halo
>>721776541Of course. How could I forget about MagnaGarurumon's crotch.I don't usually make that mistake.
>>721776640>or gun side in the fused design.
>>721776640>Yeah, but he's 80% KaiserGreymon, 10% Magnagarurumon and 10% Omegamon.I dont think thats really true its pretty even maybe like slightly leaning kaisergreymon so more like 55/45
>>721777135I think it's just that the red overpowers the blue and is on the upper body, so anons come out feeling like there's a lot more kaiser greymon.
>>721777135You're only counting the quantity there, anon. The style is almost entirely just an extension of Kaiser. Like if you took out the context of it being a fusion and removed the two heads this would be much more fitting standalone digivolution for Kaiser, whereas it'd be much more of a departure from Magna's style.
>>721775927KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon are my favorite Greymon and Garurumon variants and I'm a Frontier hater
>>721776402it's because he's supremely lame in an already lame season
>>721777532>removed the two heads this would be much more>dude if you changed it, it would be something else xPlike i sorta get what you're saying but its literally just both digimon mashed together, probably why omnimon is better just having a completely unique body
>>721750967Damn straight
>>721778036What I'm saying is that there's very little attempt to mix the two different visual styles. If KaiserGreymon is a dragon knight and Magnagarurumon is a wolf themed gundam, then Susanomon would be a human knight holding a big gun and wearing some decorative wolf boots. The only parts they took from Magnagarurumon are the specific parts that already match KaiserGreymon's aesthetic, if that makes sense. I am also annoyed that they cheated with Omnimon, but I don't hate either him or Susanomon honestly.
>>721740510Boring
>>721768246Move was datamined in TS, so either dlc or cut content
>>721778460>not a mountMissed opportunity
what do you guys expect the 15 dlc digimon to be? like 3 lines? a bunch of megas? or a bit of both?
>>72177993715 versions of omegamon
Should evolving your Digimon to Dorumon count as animal abuse?
>>721779937At least 3 lines
>>721780278No because they are not animals.Just regular abuse, really.
>>721779937Ballistamon, Dorulumon, Starmonz, Sparrowmon, ZeigGreymon, and 10 Shoutmon variants
>>721780278Not if you love him and show him all the affection that he deserves.
>>721779937Unrelated to the previous discussion, but hopefully Gammamon's line.
>>721782432I want jellymon but gammamon is probably more realistic even then though I guess it depends when they started making the dlc
>>721779821Oh, there will be mounting.
>>721754701Get mogged
Feeling like playing Survive. I did Wrath and Truth. Should I do Moral or Harmony next?
>>721785152Harmony
>>721759885This only works when there are no hot women aroundThere are plenty of digi girls to make a harem with and I'm not a yuritroon
>>721750967Damn that was my setup
>>721771049I played it with my brother when I visited him. The first game took like 1.5 hours while he explains the rules and all the paragraphs in each card.A year later I do not remember a thing from the card game.
>>721759885Here's how I function- Are there hot girls to waifu?Yes? Go male protagonist and self insertNo? Fine, I'll make one myself.
>>721777703Frontiermons have unironically pretty great designs for the most part
>>721787727It's pokemon tcg, but you've got a separate 5 card deck for digi-eggs, your prize stack is called your security (you only put 5 but you have to attack once more after the deck is gone so it's the same as 6 prize cards in pokemon), and an opponent revealing one of your security cards by attacking often lets you play it for free immediately as long as the card was a non-digimon card. If they do hit a digimon card, the security is destroyed if the attacker is bigger, and if it's the same or smaller, both the attacker and the security get destroyed.The weirdest thing is the memory system. It's like a reverse tug of war in terms of numbers, playing spells moving the numbers in the opponent's direction. Starting at 0, if a player plays a 3 cost card, then it becomes the other player's turn, and they have 3 memory to play something without passing the turn back, which means the entire game is playing resource denial by trying to leave the opponent with 0 memory so that playing anything just passes the turn back to them. If you can't play cards to get the memory to at least zero (because you have no cards or lack the other requirements to play the cards you do have), then the opponent gets to start their turn at 3, which is something you want to avoid.
>>721780582lol nomaybe it it was 2010 but as it stands xros wars is at the bottom of the pole in shilling priority, the only xros wars digimon in time stranger are the obligatory main character and its evolution and an alternate form of one of the olympus xii
played the demo, doesnt seem worth the 70 dollars, ill pick it up when its 20 bucks or when they remove denuvo
>>721740510The game is meant to be played in auto and speed 3x, it's clearly a failure.
>>721791736It's definitely not meant to be played that way, and I find it funny that people often clamor for speed toggles to be added to already finished turn-based RPGs and then complain to high hell when it's a starting feature in a new one, just don't use it.
>>721791736>Game don't have speed up>OMG SLOW PIECE OF SHIT WHY I NEED CE TO MAKE THIS SHIT PLAYABLE!!!1111223123@
>>721791736You can go to 5x in-game, so it is all good.
>>721791736>can set to 1x when I want to see the cool moves and during boss fights>can set to 5x when I'm grinding weak fights for conversionsI don't see how this is a bad thing?
>game doesn't have 500% overclock fast forward skip button like PSX emulatorinto the trash it goes. DW2 is still the best 3niggas digigay rpgay
You know, criticizing the Story games for letting the player to evolve into whatever mon they please, but at the same time saying something like "I don't mind something like DMW3" just ousted you as a brainlet and a nostalgia ridden faggot. Motherfucker, in DMW3 you can literally get Omegamon from Renamon or Kotemon or Kumamon or Patamon, or basically any starter. The game literally allows you to digivolve to every playable digimon in the game as long as you have enough stats to unlock it. Matter fact, due to the sheer number of playable digimon, certain child level digimon do not have the ability to cross over to other types. Like dinosaur lines cannot go over to plant lines. Ironically makes the Story games digimons more unique and varied than DMW3.
>>721775767They have Omegamon and Dukemon X as well IIRC.
Holy shit CS is a bad game. I just got to >that moment. Why is there 10 minutes of unskippable cutscenes before a double boss gauntlet where the second boss has an AoE status effect you need to gear against? Why am I still facing fucking champion-level digimon in the random encounters, which do fucking nothing, and mega (RK-level) digimon as the OPENING ACT to a boss fight? Why did they design a game where you can't digivolve without losing half your stats and you have to go grind for 30 minutes to get them back up to reasonable levels? Why are there so many fucking AI guest fights where the AI is either a huge detriment or the only important member of your team? Why do all of my digimon feel like they still do fucking nothing despite being world-destroying levels of power, canonically? I had a royal knight fail to oneshot a champion-level enemy, and then that enemy used a basic healing move and healed SIX TIMES as much how as the RK's signature ultimate attack. Why did they implement an entire fucking type weakness RPS system and then the main enemies of the game completely ignore it? Speaking of that RPS system, whose retarded fucking idea is it? You cannot balance bosses around it. I soloed Yuugo's fucking Machinedramon with my one vaccine digimon because he couldn't kill it even with his big super move, but would oneshot my non-vaccine digimon even if they were guarding. That's not fucking fun.The characters are cute but I cannot believe this is the fucking gameplay model they chose to work with. It's inferior to the older Story games in every single way. It's BORING, that's the worst part. It's so fucking boring.
I'm interested in getting more into digimon, how approachable is digimon world 1? I've played a lot of monster-catching games and I enjoy games where you raise something.
>>721796313It is very obtuse and user-unfriendly
>>721796313If you want to play World 1, take some time to read up on the mechanics at least. You don't need a guide to tell you how to do everything, but knowing how basic things work is crucial. Alternatively you can play Re:Digitize: Decode. It's not as charming as World 1 but it's still pretty decent and a lot easier to grasp.
>>721796313It's the first game of its kind, and it shows. Play it asap as it's unmatched to this day. If you're really scared, check out the Maeson Rom Hack. But if you can put 2 and 2 together, you can handle like 75% of it.
>>721796313I really think digimon world only works when your a kid with nothing better to do or if you just have nostalgia for it, its extremely obtuse in an unfun way and requires an extreme amount of grinding if you don't look up guides
>>721752258Listen when you pick a starter in Pokémon you’re not expecting to be able to catch one or be able to trade for that very same starter by route 2.
>>721796313It’s unique even to this day. There’s other games in the series like it, but world 1 has a special charm and aesthetic true to only that game. I say the best way is to play it blind until you get to the moment, and you will, where you say fuck it give me the guides.
>>721796313DW1 does not tell you how to play it properly at all or give you any hints about what requirements you need for any given evolution, some of which are fairly strict. It's kind of magical to explore blind for a while but if you want to make any real progress you're best off looking up a guide to the mechanics and evolution requirements after having a few failed digimon die on you. The experience is really carried by atmosphere and nostalgia but it's still decently fun if you don't mind grinding and understand what you're supposed to be doing exactly.
>>721779937They're just 3 x 5 mega digimon, so don't get your hopes up that it's a set of Digimon evolution lines, that means the Ghost Game partners have 0 chances to make it in.
>>721768158Proximamon was created far too late to be incorporated into the show properly. It was made up for the V-pets.
>>721740510I appreciate that they added actual animations instead of the generic attacks in Cybersleuth
>>721769829Most recolors were designed for minor shit like alt colored toys or as enemies for video games. In fact, that's how Alraumon started; its entire purpose was to be an enemy-only variety of Palmon in Digimon World.
>>721796284>that momentCyber Sleuth is easy as fuck there is no "that moment" retard. No one has any idea what the fuck you are talking about even remotely which is why im the only kind enough person to grace your demonstratedly low IQ babble given that you are struggling on agame a child could complete, with a (You)If it hurts you to read so much maybe dont play a game called Digimon STORY. Story you know implies WORDS.
>>721798907Given the time frame of development and the fact that nothing past Last Evolution Kizuna was stated to appear, I'd assume at least some of the following:>BlitzGreymon>CresGarurumon>Omegamon Alter-S>Algomon>Abaddomon Core>Eosmon>Rasielmon>Raguelmon>Ordinemon>Omegamon Merciful Mode>AncientMermaimon>Shoutmon X7 or EX6
>>721740510Is she a frog or a fish??
>>721797698this isn't pokemon
>>721740510I only played it to check out the general gameplay, but I'll either pirate it or wait for it to go on sale. In the meantime I can check out Cyber Sleuth before then I suppose.
>>721803908>pirate itdoes he know?
>>721803247She's a rana, whatever that means
>>721804512it means frog
>>721775165>Paildramon's move in my country was called "Final Solution"I wonder what they meant by that
>>721776402>Agnimon has ranged fireballs>BurningGreymon has SMGs embedded into his arms>Aldamon combines both for full Ranged focus>Lobomon has laser swords>KendoGarurumon has blades all over its body>Beowolfmon combines both for full Melee focus>they swap over for KaiserGreymon/MagnaGarurumonWhat gives
>>721774478True, all other Veemons are hot.
>>721804512so, a spanish frog
I hope there's not too many corridors.
So I never watched Xros 2, why is it considered a crime against humanity
>>721806581merging digimon parts together and calling it an evolution is very un-digimon.
>>721796284The only "that moment" in the game is playing Flamedramon in the arcade tourney shit
Alter S dlc when?
>>721807468hopefully never
>>721806581It's quite retarded
So far the music is really dogshit compared to digimon 1-3 and card battle.
>>721740510>NPCs arent voiced>The woman doesnt have female walking animation>Digimon attack animation seems cheap>Excessive zone changesI didn't think the demo was fun

>>721811017it's in the puddingor tuna in this case
>>721809563>digimon 1That game barley even has music, this nostalgia fagottry needs to end
>>721807172How?
>>721805521I mean magnagarurumon still has laser swords
How does Evolving work in these games? Is it like Pokemon where you typically want to get your guys to the max evolution to be the strongest? So if I get Ranamon, eventually I'll have to turn her into the squid? Or is she viable to use in that same form for the whole game?
>>721811536what it did have was pretty good tho
>>721812351Generally it was like that first option but in this game you can pretty much level anything enough to make it viable to you would be missing out on better moves so its not really clear yet if you can exactly bring a rookie to end game
>>721812351This particular game lets you feed other Digimon to the one you want to make stronger, so if you want to keep your Ranamon you can just sacrifice a ton of babies to her and make her super strong.Also she can turn into the squid mid-battle.

>>721753439I don't get why you keep bringing up Dusk like it's a good game when it's the worst of the DS trio
>>721812351Like the first but it's not just every digimon having a 1 > 2 > 3 evolution. You have a bunch of different choices on what you want them to evolve into and you can also devolve them into something different from what they started as to the point that through moving up and down the entirely interconnected tree you can make any digimon any other digimon you want with enough evolution back and forth.
>>721812521Actually play the game retard>>721812580>trio
>>721812520>Also she can turn into the squid mid-battle.So you can use higher evolution moves with a mid-battle evolution with her, and she goes back to the form I like after the battle? Is that unique to her or can any digimon do it?
>>721813026It's for certain Digimon only. Because these are slide evolutions or mode changes. Same with jogress evolutions, you can do them mid-battle for a signature move only, but that requires both component Digimon to be participating in the battle.
>>721812905Championship is a completely different style so I'm not counting itI did forget the Xros Wars game existed so yeah my mistake there
>>721740510Bro this game is $93 in Canada what the fuck?
>>721813171And Lost Evolution.
>>721813349Yeah?DSDusk/DawnLost EvolutionThat's the trio I meant
>>721813329It doesn’t matter the cost it’s Digimon.
>>721740510I enjoyed it, i tried going back to CS/HM right after and it was suprisingly annoying. I like Bearmon being in and what i seen from leaks, his whole line. I get a feeling it will be way too easy to overlevele without going out of your way due the Box Exp couple with scans. I mean just abusing the Champion in the Demo makes you OP with -one- "Sacrifical fusion".But i have to say i realize the skill rework, much easier to build mons without being overly autistic about evolution paths.
>>721812905Nah you are just retard or maybe a little bit deafhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S2T9Cx2ogbQ&list=RDS2T9Cx2ogbQ&start_radio=1https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qPo4p8uHZPc&list=RDqPo4p8uHZPc&start_radio=1
>>721779937ZeedMillenniummon is already confirmed to be one
>>721815006Where?
>>721812521All the comments about Greymon molesting their baby digimon. good memories
>>721813026Only for a few split evos. It's like if Pokemon let you change Gardevoir into Gallade and back if you needed physical coverage.
>>721774794I hope your cat is okay anon
>>721815107they added the previous forms, it seems obvious the "devs listened and added the final form" bait
>>721809563Some of the overworld music is straight up annoying.
>>721815330That's not confirmation
>>721774478Add on Paildramon and you got my concurrence.
Can I just skip straight to Hacker's Memory? I'm a bit into Cyber Sleuth and kind of unenthusiastic about it.
>>721815894Yes, TS is in 6 days so just do HM since its way better.
>>721815894Story-wise CS was awful, just a nonstop masturbatory session for royalknightslop.Skip to HM, it's a parallel story so you'll miss some story beats that also happen in CS but it's not that big a deal.
Bow before your Digi gods
>>721740970>Loses to a human nerd
>>721761904Did it? They never publicly stated it did compared to Colon.
>>721751654Why did they make (you) so hot?
>>721816148marsmon looks so out of place, but i guess that's what happens when you take two decades to fill out a roster
>>721771049It's my favorite tcg to play right now. I wish Bandai didn't constantly fuck up it's tournament events but that's only relevant if you give a shit about playing competitive.
>>721816106>Story-wise CS was awful,It really wasn't you just have a hate boxer for the royal knights
>>721753483NO looks like an improvement to world 1, and in most QoL features it is, but it took several steps back on some not so obvious things. >The gym training sucks, world 1s gyms have way more character in them. Sure you'll end up skipping the animation after a while but they add something to the world itself>In terms of world exploration, the world isn't as interconnected as DW1. Level design wise, it's like comparing the OG DS1 map to the dumpster fire that was DS2s map.>You also can't explore as much without really training your digimon and getting them to at least champion or ultimate. Not really an issue for vets who know what they're getting into, but for new players who want to just explore immediately, getting their asses kicked by some trash mobs isn't really fun.>The secondary characters also weren't that great either.>There were also less surprise events compared to DW1 too. Gameplay-wise, outside of the two digimon set up which ended being a miss (but at least they tried something new so won't fault them too much), I actually am okay with how NO went about improving tons of stuff. It's just that I wish they were able to port everything else from DW1.
>>721816148Does Ceresmon Medium actually ever pop out of Ceresmon like that, or is it just for the sake of this promo art? Because it makes me like her a lot more.
>>721816148>bunch of cosplaymon and Buu's knockoffmeh
>>721817721she does in art, but i hope in the game it's just the stone bird, otherwise we'll probably have another midget pilot situation like apocalymon in CSHM
>>721818027I think she has two forms in game
Do you guys prefer how current digivolution works? Or would you rather the pokemon route? I kinda want something in the middle where I can still digivolve my mon through multiple branches, but not to the point where it basically has access to a 1/4th of the available mons.
>>721818235Yeah she does, the Medium is a Mega+ evolution for the bird form in TS.It's hard to predict because Apocarymon can't detach from the main body unlike her.
>>721818596The fuck do you mean current? Digimon always have branched evolution tree since the very beginning.
>>721818596It makes sense in digimon, pokemon are animals while digimon are data, meant to be recycled and reconfigured into other things. You can simply stick to everything from your digimon's line and never devolve it into something it hasn't been before and you'll be fine.
>>721818843I know. But from someone who came from playing the PS1 games, the current branching evolution tree feels a bit excessive.
>>721819212Using Agumon in Digimon World as an example, there are 6 regular evolutions, plus the universal fail conditions Numemon, Scumon, Nanimon possible even ignoring items. TS's upper cap is 6, and most don't do that.
>>721819673The problem is that DW doesn't let you go backwards until you die and start over from Baby, while Story not only lets you go backwards, you can go backwards into another branch.
>>721820004That doesn't make the branches themselves more complicated if you were to make a tree.
>>721820121that's the thing, it's no longer a tree, it's a net.
>>721817721yes, she can pop out of the bird
>>721819212>>721820004??
>>721820593??
>>721820248That is the kind of issue that can't be fixed since it it is tied to gameplay mechanics instead of the actual number of connections. In Digmon World, you literally have over a 1/4 of the available mons since there are only 4 babies and they have some overlapping evolutions and in Digimon World 3 you can basically evolve everything to everything else eventually. And the card game uses colors so those are also big. Only Digimon World 2 doesn't directly and that is most because the DNA Digivolution system is opaque/points are difficult to influence.
>>721820593this is the best the evolution system has ever been but it's not perfect.ideally every rookie should have 5+ champions that diverge further, there should be no dead ends at champion/ultimate. and of course the game needs more megas so the same rookie doesn't always end up with the same Mega
I want to look forward to it
I played Cyber Sleuth on PS4 a LONG time ago and I haven't played that sequel/midquel. I want to replay Cyber Sleuth on PC since my PS4 kept crashing at the time due to a faulty HDD apparently and I don't remember anything but crashing every 30 minutes. How long would it take me to beat the first CS if I cheat? I'll do the sequel legit.
>>721806581They got filtered by a pure MoTW show combined with the general hate for Xros Wars due to it being very different from regular digimon like Frontier was.
>>721818596My only real issue is the difference in quality when you compare the official lines from anime and whatnot to others. It's clear that certain digimon were designed together and sometimes you just get into a situation where you like a digimon but all the evolutions loose the parts you liked.And I get why that is: I've been making my own game and you'll always have cool one-off designs that don't have enough creative space to be expanded into a full line.Still, I'd like the franchise to expand more on existing lines instead of adding obvious main character mons.
thinking of buying this even though i'm at best a casual digimon fan. i basically only play a digimon game from time to time, cyber sluts being my last one, i think. does this seem like a promising game for you guys that are more into the franchise?
>>721822676It's a genuine goodupgrade to cyber sluts and does seem pretty promising
>>721822676It's Cyber Sleuth but improved in basically every way. If you liked CS you will like this one.
>>721823376nice, might buy it then. i never had that much contact to the franchise but i enjoyed one of the ps1 games a lot as a kid and that's led me to just buying a digimon game from time to time
>>721822676There is a demo out, but it's looking like a huge improvement. My only big issue with it is the price. Also, Digimon Story games all have an issue where they pad the shit out of the story with mandatory pointless side quests, and we have no way of knowing if Time Stranger is as bad.
>>721740510Why play a Pokémon rip off when I can play the real thing when Legends ZA drops?
>>721824257i'm going to play both
>>721806581The digixroses are even lazier than the ones in Xros Wars, the new characters are all super annoying, the returning XW cast have lost a lot of their personality, the plot is completely nonexistent until they rush an ending out in the last 2 episodes, and they make the protagonists of every previous season job to the new big bad so that the new annoying kid can save the day even though he's been a useless shit for the entire season.It's not the worst thing ever, the hate is probably a little overblown, but it's definitely bad. It's really short and mostly forgettable other than the one fanservice scene in the second last episode, so its pretty easy to just not even think about it. It's nowhere near as bad as Tri if we're talking crimes against humanity.
>>721759885I'm a man so I play as one, freak.
>>721740510Not impressed but man I hope it's good
>>721746767>the return of (near) infinite stat gainThis was always the worst part about Digimon and you are a nigger
>>721824257Its not a rip off though. Also, I'm going to play both.
>>721824715>limits digixrosses so that they serve an actual purpose combat wise instead of just being a poorly explained DBZ tier power up for the most part. >Tagiru and Gumdramon are great while the rival hunters take a back seat and instead act as direct antagonists>being motw is fine, the ending was also fine and it was done over 3 episodes>the previous protagonists don't job other than Taiki who gets cheap shotted by Quartzmon, >they lend their powers to the Brave Snatcher>Tagiru and Gumdramon have shown themselves to be more than capable throughout the showYup yup, strongest of the STRONG
>>721740510I honestly want a mix between DW2003 and DW2, but more polished and with a lot of QoL improvements. DW2003 world exploration and Digi-Tank dungeon crawling through procedurally-generated digital streams as we explore other servers(realities or copies of the digital world) or just fast travel in the current server. Cities under attack, hubs to trade, managing digital cities you staff with digimon etc, endless possibilities. All digimon games since DW2 and 3(2003) feel like slop.
>>721825353Look everyone, he's back again. How's it going dude? You having a good day?
>>721820593>Everything else if official art>And then there's fucking tinmonI remember some anon is a long gone thrwad said there's some additional lore to tinmon and why there's no official reference art.
>>721816509They are aware of what their players want. That is: Low angle zettai ryouiki pantsu shots
I just hate how every digimon's ultimate form is just a guy or girl in armour. I want bizarre monsters and robots
How is this movie? Tri was so horrible I skipped it.
>>721821307Don't forget that the DNA digivolution system was so consistent but super cryptic https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/ps/437339-digimon-world-2/faqs/61067Always made me excited for "What am I going to get this time"
>>721827304I was going to post metalphantomon as a retort but then I noticed he's just an ultimate. How the fuck is the literal reaper not a mega?
>>721827930no legs
>>721827562DW2 is my second favorite franchise game. The first time I got it I couldn't play it as the evolutions felt off and confusing. Years later I picked it up again and ended up clearing Terra Domain with two Imperialdramons and an Omnimon in my own DNA digivolved lineup, with multiple caught Omnimon in tow. That game design needs graphical polish, QoL improvements and procedural generation, but it's still good.
>>721827207>still true to this daydamn, even vemmon's line got official art at this point
>>721828318I highly agree. It's why I keep recommending it in these threads. As long as you have a fast forward button ready to cut down on the loading times during battle, it's a really great game mechanically. Story is good too. The characters keep moving around and have more to say as you progress through the game. One of the biggest letdowns of cyber sleuth was that the starter areas stay literally the same after they become irrelevant plotwise.
>>721820593I played this when is was a little kid and i dind't understand shit, but this nigga carried me through the game.
>>721820593>>721829654>tinmon is a fucking ULTIMATE
Suddenly highly detailed Doumon face
>>721826507Digixros in the first part is explained perfectly well. It's literally just apes strong together but framed as a mecha combination power up. Or maybe it was better explained in the manga and I'm mixing the two up.
>>721813421I keep bringing up Dusk because it's the one I played this week. I'm playing through CS at the same time so it's hard not to make comparisons. They're actually extremely different games, as evidenced by the fact that I can play both of them without getting sick of it.
>>721830740There is literally no limit to Digixrossing in the first 2 parts of Xros Wars therefore there was no limit to how theorhetically strong any Digixros could be at any given point. There's also the fact that Shoutmon's naming scheme makes no sense as there's nothing to properly distinguish between Shoutmon X5 and Shoutmon X4B other than Beelzemon apparently not making the number go up.
FUCK doro, good job horsefuckers
>>721831515Eh?
>>721821307Dead ends at champion and ultimate are good for actual gameplay. You can make champions and ultimates that are stronger but don't have a next evolution, so you have to dedigivolve. Or if you make a champ / ult that's particularly strong or has a good signature move, players might want to keep it in their team the whole game and use farms / loading / whatever to keep its stats up.The soul in digimon games comes from how stupid the trees look. Your OCD lizardbrain makes the trees worse, because it wants everything to be symmetrical and go from one end to the other. You can always escape the tree you're in via DNA digivolution, so who cares that one tree is technically incomplete? Plant tree is incomplete, either deal with it with the tools you're given or jogress into a different plant tree.
>>721779731I hope it's DLC then, I'd like to play a Digimon game once with my favourite Digimon.
>>721831971>You can always escape the tree you're in via DNA digivolution,which is either a complete crapshoot with no heads or tails or completely ignored barring the same dozen or so DNA evolutions we see in every piece of media (usually Omegamon + Adventure 02 + Dinobeemon + Chaosmon and very little else)
>>721831971There is simply no logical reason for any champion or ultimate to be a dead end with the amount of digimon that exist. It is unjustifiable, plain and simple.
>people complaining about how dna digivolutions are ignoredme, an intellectual, wanting a single game where the whole breadth of digi-eggs is playable
>>721821905i've been playing 1-2h a day due to home issues, but i fuck around a lot collecting digimon, CS is honestly relatively short if you don't do all quests and just stick to main story
>>721832695There should have been an episode in 02 where their eggs got swapped and they had to make do with their new forms.
>>721832792is that the fucking BSDM eater boss in the back
>>721832695I kind of want them to begin creating new digimental evos.Maybes that's the next level of adventure pandering. Giving agumon, gabumon, and the like, digimental forms.Imagine the Tamers mons with digimental forms.Where's Ryo when we need some anime-based time paradox shit?>>721832873That PV with the 02 kids alongside their mons and all of their digimental forms was really cool.
>>721831515Wrong thread?
>>721831515>good job horsefuckersYou are welcome.
>>721832882yeah you can hear yuuko moan whenever you want
>>721821939But Frontier's problem wasn't it being a poorly disguised toku show with a Digimon name slapped on, it was>anyone not named Takuya or Koji isn't allowed to get any meaningful victories after their "rival mooks" are defeated>they are later relegated to being fusion fuel for Takuya and Koji>everything that happens after Cherubimon is defeated
>>721832170All remaining banchos had their signature moves datamined but then again they're just 4 so they'd need a 5th mega to include in their dlc pack.
>>721832419It's justifiable because it's a soulful game mechanic and fun game design.
>>721824715>It's nowhere near as bad as Tri if we're talking crimes against humanity.Well I never watched that one either
>>721832695>>721833223While we're at weird evolution methods, might as well give the spirits another go. We're missing what, 20+ forms in that cycle? Throw Hudiemon and those villains from Savers a bone while you're at it.
Time Stranger has a really shitty racing mini game where you race on a Peckmon, it controls like garbage.
>>721834645>subjective buzzwords as metricsi accept your concession
>>721834920I love shitty minigames.I want curling back.
>>721835043Fun can't be measured by your crappy logic brain. Unfinished digivolution lines are objectively fun.
>>721759550My thoughts at least go more into instead of being uncapped stat growth each digimon at every tier has an upper limit for each stat individually, like a agumon and veemon have different max and min amounts for their stats that can be gained by digivolving, further modified by some other variable like the traits, think an agumon max attack being 2.5x its base going to 5 due to some variables if you want max attack, while other stats have further varying scaling. Ultimately its base becomes equal to a mega thats not very far along its power
>>721831971what a retarded thing to say. it's like you didn't play CS/HM and completely missed how mons with DEF-ignoring signatures are vastly superior to their peers even if they share an evolution tier. you are utterly delusional if you think they can balance a champion to be able to perform as well as a mega when they can't even balance inside the same fucking tier.

>>721838779I don't get how it took 10 super powerful mons to take down 1 shota.
>>721839338Shotas have a lot of stamina. I know.
>>721839338he loaded the fractal code of the entire digital world and the 2 royal dorks
>>721836013That's an oversimplification. Def-piercing moves cost more SP, so you need to invest in SP recovery to sustain them. They also have longer cooldown periods, so their DPS over a fight is lower. They also don't always do more damage. If you lower the enemy's defense, non-piercing moves can very quickly become more powerful. For instance, if we take Lilithmon's DEF of ~160 and compare it to Beelzemon's signature with a damage of 160, we get the same overall damage as a medium piercing move, but with a faster cooldown. But if you lower the enemy's defense as few as three times, the damage of Beelzemon's attack starts to equal a Strong piercing move. Piercing moves are also dependent on the digimon, obviously, and can't be changed, so they share the limitations of their dogimon. For instance, Lilith only has 2 item slots and is Dark elemental. If e.g. an Alphamon uses his signature Blade of the Dragon King against her, it's effectively a Strong Piercing move even without lowering her defense or considering that Alphamon is a vaccine.
>>721839313>the fallen angel who will plunge the world into sin and chaosI can fix him

Lucemon is subordinate to Belphemon in the DS games btw.
>>721839683Okay well I don't really care about that, and Cyber Sleuth is still a pretty bad game. I just don't like it when people make broad sweeping statements about the meta of a game that clearly don't take everything into account.
>>721840308In fairness, I'd imagine that even if they DID have more Royal Knights to work with, the situation wouldn't have changed that dramatically. LordKnightmon and Dynasmon would have been defeated a lot earlier, but KaiserGreymon and MagnaGarurumon likely would have had to 2v1 each of them anyway. Presumably, other Royal Knights were being developed at the time, but apparently they couldn't complete them in time so we only got two.It's very unlikely that they would have used Omegamon, Dukemon, Magnamon or UlforceV-dramon here. Most likely the other Royal Knights they would have had to fight were Duftmon, Sleipmon and Craniummon. It's something a lot of people tend to forget, but the Royal Knights are basically deity-class Digimon. Omegamon was originally supposed to be in the same class as ZeedMillenniumon.
>>721841004and I don't like people who call cyber sleuth bad.Piercing moves were absolutely busted on release, but the games got a ton of updates and balance fixes that made them less central.
>>721837628Skadimon has eyelashes Yukimi Botamon lacks
>>721841004Understandable, I've done the same for games like Next Order which I didn't like much beyond the soundtrack. These types of people don't think about it at all. Like one of the most obvious part of Def/Int piercing skills supposedly being overpowered is that they don't really do anything to something that already has low Def or Int, but people will still claim they're always the better option.
