Strange modern phenomenons

[RageBurner]

I have no issues personally discussing these kinds of things. I mean it's real! ... but it also potentially is used to create division between people. I don't sense that this was your intention though. It is depressing to put too much focus on such things b.c so much is outside of our ability to control. That's where video games come in to save the day! ESCAPISM for the win. It's a shame but the short of it is that people are just becoming shittier to each other; more intolerant, more ignorant, more entitled and just plain ol' nastier. This sort of mass-behavioral modification is being encouraged and exploited by a certain group who wants people to continue fighting at any cost b.c that's how the ruling class has maintained control throughout the centuries ... and it's always worked.

Yeah, one way or the other. The reason I like this place is that people are way more chill than the internet average. I myself had no intention to participate at first, but look at it now, haha.
I hope you feel welcome here.

Thank you. I feel welcome here too. It's a breath of fresh air to meet people who are laid back about stuff and respectful. Definitely not the norm these days. I hope this community gets a chance to grow into something beautiful.

It took me a hot minute to realize your pfp is an edit with Denam, haha.

Yea it's a scarface Tactics Ogre mash up. It's something I never knew I needed until I saw it hah

I guess you could rightfully say "Say hello to my little friends!" when starting combat.

Oh most certainly will try next play-through! I've only put about 3000+ hours into Tactics Ogre so far so I have room to grow. haha. Unfortunately I have a recessive Spicy-italian attitude so I don't think either or Denam would be able to pull it off properly...

So, the crucial question: Reborn or One Vision?

 

[Captain Murphy]

Oh I am a huge fan of the UI and rpg elements of the PSP version so I'm One Vision all the way. I feel like it is far more in-depth, has better character building in its role playing progression and characters feel more customizable along with all the other nuts and bolts of the mod really hitting those jrpg sweet spots... I feel like Reborn was good but it felt more like a cell phone game to me. The cards that you pick up on the battlefield do add some tactical agency to battles but it also just feels weird and doesn't really feel very balanced or nuanced. I hate how leveling is gated by chapter. I mean it's still Tactics Ogre and it's one of the best games ever made but reborn feels like it was a near-miss instead of a sure-thing. I platinumed it but it feels like it lost a bit of what made the psp version so special. They smoothed over those wonderful, beautiful character sprites and thus lost a lot of detail and character b.c of it. The rpg elements were largely scrapped in favor of a system that was more tactical. I get why they did it like that to appeal to a newer generation that doesn't really have the patience to spend hundreds of hours in a game. I actually thought Unicorn Overlord was more my style if I'm to be honest...

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. It really seems TO exists in two camps now, with veterans largely preferring One Vision. I believe a new version just came out by the way.

 

[Captain Murphy]

Ooh no kidding? I will check it out for sure. I am wondering how many new features might be involved
