The woodchopping and mining minigame is way too repetitive and grindy and just plain wears out its welcome. Doesn't help that some resources are much more scarce than what the crafting requires, so you got to spend extra time breaking materials you don't want for little money to get a chance at materials popping up that you do. Maybe if it stopped at level 5 it would have been more fun.

did it being directly connected to Kaela not clue you in?

I do want to note that in the end you want all the materials anyway so the spawning is less of an issue then it seems but yes it is annoying when i just need one more maple tree to spawn.

doing commissions is way faster then playing a 20 minute + round of holocure though so its nice if you want to upgrade before the next run though.

The prisms existing and mocking me will drive me mad though.

Doritos Pope looks really aged, maybe the mountain dew injections aren't doing enough.

The difference is that the schmup portion of the game is actually fun.

>fucking Rebirth put in as GOTY
>puts SOTE in as GOTY despite arguing last year that DLC shouldn't be eligible for GOTY
>Factorio's Space Age expansion should have been nominated Best Sim, not Manor Lords, which is still in Early Access and everyone instantly forgot about
>Space Marine 2 only put in for Action and MP games, not the strongest part of the game, Art Direction
>Helldivers 2 for best community support and best ongoing game...that shit came out this year. Does Sony want us to pretend that PSN shitshow never happened?
>Astro Bot and Rebirth given the most nominations
>zero mention of Pal World, I guess Geoff is afraid of Nintendo executing him live on stage like what happened to that Japanese Communist Chairmen in 1960
>fucking Star Wars Outlaws PC nominated for Best Performance while Titus VA snubbed
>some of the journalists part of the voting jury include bullshit like LA Times, NPR, and Venturebeats
Space Marine 2 will win no awards, it's going to lose in Action by Wukong and MP by either Tekken or Helldivers 2. Astrobot and Helldivers 2 will sweep their categories, maybe see Wukong win GOTY to pretend to be partial.

I'm not a fan of the platform mechanics of this (or Jump King), it doesn't feel like the inputs I put in quite match what happens on-screen

It's because the part of the charge where you gain verticality on your jump happens really late into the charge and it isn't a gradual change. You either get low vertical, enough vertical, or vertical with tons of forward movement to completely fuck you up. The difference between those 3 is incredibly short on the charge meter. The only way I managed to do it consistently is that I played it like it was a rhythm game where I learned the exact sound timings.

I don't think space marine 2 is the second coming of Jesus Christ, but snubbing Palworld is both incredibly funny and telling.

I think the issue is it not getting nominated for the thing it deserves, which was Art Direction. The Best Performance snub is obvious when you look at who the other listed performances are. It's definitely not GOTY but it's obvious how blatantly biased these nominations are, the gaming journalists REALLY hate that game.

what snubbing? Palworld is still a buggy mess so is Pokemon for that matter. fuck them both play Digimon instead.

Digimon actually needs to release a game.

Digimon actually needs to release a game.

I have no idea what you mean Digimon world One came out and it's great. Graphics are a little dated though.

 

[Awoogers]

Digimon actually needs to release a game.

And actually render angewomon in 4k ray tracing along with everyone

Polygon is on the voting jury, maybe they should have made their case harder to the other journos.

After doing a bit more of that grind, I've found out that the spawning is actually bracket related. I kept a section of the forest with lvl 7 and 8 nodes spawning nonstop (hololite, platinum, acacia, bamboo). Then I made another section stick to lvl 5 and 6 nodes (diamond, adamantite, maple, teak). It's super gay nonetheless and makes me think constantly whenever I encounter a new section of the game "did Kay Yu put this in to keep Kaela from 100% his game in 2 streams"?

The experience grind is also not too bad when you realize you can go up to higher level nodes and just spam click as fast as possible and you'll still receive max EXP, you'll just receive like 2 resources.

I actually find the mining/woodchopping stuff to be the LEAST painful minigame. Plants is just fiddling with menus and waiting and the fish is rhythm which I suck at, leveling the workers takes fucking millennia. My save was deleted at some point between updates but simply making like 5 items in commissions at level 7 already made me enough coins to buy everything in the shop.

unless an update changed something when i wasin't looking you get exp PER item gained via mining chopping. so if you can getting 5 items is better then 4 and so on.

but yeah even one item can give you exp riving that of a lower node.

You normally wanna target items one level below and above your own, the ones below are always required for the next tool tier and the ones above give the most xp

Kay just nerfed greed and marine btw, some people already having meltdowns because the game can't be completely trivialized and you have to actually play it more than 3 times. THE HORROR!

The excuse is that some of the joke items in the casino cost gorillions, except that they're... joke items, that don't do anything and their descriptions literally say SCAM. I fear for the collective IQ of mankind. Kinda reminds me of the bitching when relogic nerfed the broken items that let people essentially bypass a third of terraria, fun times.

"I love this game! But I hate playing it." Will never make sense to me.

because people like the game but hate grinding. no one wants to WORK in a game.

even though the obvious counterargument is if you like the game your gonna play it more then once.

Clearly we should blame Kaela he fears making it too easy for her.

Also the joke items do give like 1% to one stat.
