Megu pets can apparently "starve" or die or something now, they have a Health Meter which slowly falls and only refills when you feed them. When it runs out, they're supposed to die.

@LessPopMoreFizz Can we maintain the special exception for iOS and legacy platforms?

Or even just iOS?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@EBongo You should read it more closely.

> Additionally, platform tags may be used as a 'tag of last resort' for games which have only one question asked about them on the entire site.

That's basically what the iOS use case is.

EBongo

1:24 AM

@LessPopMoreFizz Hmm... I guess that at least maintains the special exception. If I had may way, they'd all be tagged iOS, even when a game tag existed.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@EBongo But that's not even how things are done now.

Brant

ios is kind of like console in some ways: we have iphone and ipad as specific instances of ios.

EBongo

@LessPopMoreFizz True, but you are proposing a change in policy.

Brant

It's always annoyed me.

LessPop_MoreFizz

(It's actually quite inconsistent at the moment, to the point of being kind of maddening.)

EBongo

1:25 AM

Oh yes, I've always hated it.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@EBongo Also, people haven't bothered to propose an alternative, but I'm not 100% committed to the policy I'm proposing - I'm fairly adamant about the problems with the status quo, but I'm perfectly open to alternative tagging schema

@Brant Both of those latter two are actually synonomized to ios.

EBongo

Yes, well I wanted to discuss. I don't really want to propose a full alternative, I agree with most of what you have. It's the iOS special case that I'd like to see partially changed.

Brant

@LessPop_MoreFizz oh, I wasn't aware that was done.

Shows how much attention I've been paying lately. :(

LessPop_MoreFizz

@Brant was done over a year ago

EBongo

I had a separate thought too though. If questions are not platform specific, then who get's the check? Up to the OP of course, but in cases where the answer varies by platform? I suppose you intend to cover that with split game tags though.

Brant

1:29 AM

Bah

LessPop_MoreFizz

@EBongo Check means it helped the asker, not that it is the 'best' per se.

@EBongo split game tags should only be needed for cases where versions of a game are dramatically different.

Like, FF4->FF4 Advance-> FF4 DS are all very different games in a number of important ways and should have distinct tags for questions that are in some way not relevant across the various releases.

EBongo

@LessPopMoreFizz Hmm... maybe I'm over thinking it. So console specific questions would still be aloud, but without the console tag?

LessPop_MoreFizz

@EBongo 1) allowed. please. (pet peeve.)

Brant

Friggin' dolphins.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@EBongo 2) you are definitely over thinking it. I mean, what sort of console specific questions are we talking about here? I'd advise you to take a look at the existing uses of the platform tags. The vast majority of even 'appropriate' uses fall in to one of three categories:

Q: Is there a quick way to ready up, besides pressing the crystal

After running all around the level, it is annoying to have to have each player run all the way back to the crystal. Is there any quick "ready up" button? I'm looking for a solution specific to the Xbox 360 version of the game - not using an Xbox 360 controller on the PC.

Q: Activate the crystal from far

When I'm setting defenses at the other side of the map, is there a way to activate the crystal from far away, letting me kill enemies at the gate without running back-and-forth?

pc dungeon-defenders

LessPop_MoreFizz

a) questions about the games interaction with the platform itself. Examples include questions about save game migration, or installation, or interaction with specific hardware features, like Kinect. These questions should still receive the platform tag. nothing changes for them.

EBongo

@LessPopMoreFizz A dupe under the new policy?

LessPop_MoreFizz

b) Questions that are basically normal questions, but the asker is attempting to narrow the range of available answers by ruling out answers that are specific to a particular platform, such as using the ps3 tag as shorthand for "I DON'T WANT A MOD".

LessPop_MoreFizz

@EBongo Arguable. However, platform tags are inappropriate, since a 360 controller can be used on the PC.

Unless the latter question were rephrased to add "when controlling the game with keyboard and mouse" and a new question were asked "with a 360 controller" for example.

But it could also be duped and phrased in such a way as to invite both answers.

@EBongo See for example:

Q: How do I manipulate objects?

In Oblivion, you could grab objects with the Z-key, or the Telekinesis spell. I've tried the Z key in Skyrim, but couldn't seem to grab anything. And then I see this: ...

2:09 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I think the PSP version plays slightly better which is why I ordered it from Europe.

LessPop_MoreFizz

In other words, like the other first 4 BoF games, it makes the J in JRPG bolder and more pronounced and obvious and total than any other JRPG ever.

@skovacs1 I didn't even know it ever got a PSP release.

user2334

Really? I vaguely recall someone or something saying it was a PS classic. I picked it up on launch and never got around to even opening the shrink-wrap

skovacs1

@LessPop_MoreFizz Didn't come to NA for whatever reason, hence why I had to ship from overseas.

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MarkTrapp a lot of people love the first 4 BoF games, but they are basically the most cliche'd jrpgs ever, and thats before you factor in that the series has a huge pile of it's own cliches and tropes that make even Final Fantasy's cliches look reasonable.

They can be fun, if you're into that sort of thing, as I was some 15 years ago, but it's definitely something very much for fans of the genre.

And the plots are, for the most part, enormously silly.

@AshleyNunn Breath of fire plots are dumb

user2334

@LessPop_MoreFizz Don't they generally revolve around the main character becoming a dragon?

user15026

2:12 AM

@LessPop_MoreFizz I am getting that impression

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MarkTrapp Yeah, the main character always has the ability to turn into a dragon.

@AshleyNunn bof.wikia.com/wiki/Peco The God Onion.

user15026

@LessPop_MoreFizz This makes my brain hurt

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MarkTrapp BoF 5 is cool because that ability is basically a tightly controlled resource.

You can use it any time as an instant I Win button, but the longer you stay in that form or the more often you use it, the closer you come to a game over.

So you have to ration it over the course of the game.

user2334

Huh. When you mentioned scarcity, I thought you were talking about FF8's "abilities are essentially limited-use items" which sucked. But that sounds intriguing

LessPop_MoreFizz

@MarkTrapp It's really fucking well done.

Basically, you have a meter that can go up to 100%.

And every step you take, makes it go up a little.

And when you use some abilities, it goes up A LOT.

And you need to pace yourself through the game.
