Did you like the new Digimon demo? What did you think?

>Below 95% positive reviews on Steam
I'm getting worried...

Nah, I don't install malware by choice

>>720487459 (OP)
>Did you like the new Digimon demo?
not really
>What did you think?
It's just Cyber Slueth 2. I never liked CS.

>>720487459 (OP)
It was good but it would have been better if they hadn't removed her model in particular

>>720487459 (OP)
Last minute Denuvo killed any hype I had for the game and didn't even try the demo because of it.

>last minute denuvo

No

>>720487459 (OP)
I thought it was pretty okay.

>>720487459 (OP)
Would be perfect if no type diabetes character and drm. Now I am debating whether to get a refund. Don't get me started on the weird symbolism its a red flag for story once you realize Aegismon is probably not Pan but Attis as the bloodline of Jupiter. Need to see more story tho.

Tbqh I'm not huge on the whole idea of more "mature" Digimon games. I don't mind some darker themes but I think the childlike innocence and wonder is what made the show so good. I don't think making it more like SMT where its tackling more adult subjects is the right move.

I wish i knew you coulnd't go back to scan more digimon if you complete the demo wihtout saving before.
Will have to reset if i want to use Kotemon more.

>>720490360
Digimon has always been pretty dark even the kids shows. People literally die unlike the Pokémon anime

>>720490360
Ah yes, childlike wonders beyond my comprehension were my favorite part of digimon.

>>720490668
But back in the day, there was a balance between the two.

>>720490360
I get what you mean.
I don't mind the more mid teens than late childhood vibes.
I fuck with both.

>>720490668
>>720490828
It's not about how dark or disturbing it is, kids can understand those things perfectly fine and often like them. Its more that the subject matters and plot is clearly aimed at more of a teen/adult audience

>>720490360
i understand, there's a delicate balance with how much edge and mature themes you can do and it feels like digimon is tipping too far one way.
it feels like a flanderization of how people saw digimon as the more "mature" pokemon with a better story

Being honest, that anime opening where the characters investigate cryptids that turn out to be Digimon, and etemon was kidnapping a girl, seemed like it would have been a fun thing to play through.

he's in.

>>720491469
Digimon is never too dark or too cheerful, but there are digimon who are deliberately evil and will attack little kids with murderous intentions.

>>720491908
It's a result of the fact most Digimon fans are adults now

I’d agree if that was a sensation I believe they were capable of reclaiming. The remake of adventure shows that they arent

>>720494349
Not installing your malware.

>>720490360
Honestly people meme about CS having messed up stuff and being made for mature audiences, but it's really just Saturday morning cartoon level at best. This is stuff that would have appeared in children's media like Avatar or Code Kyoko years ago, it barely goes above that level in anything (aside from the lewd character designs I suppose). They absolutely don't try to be overly edgy or go the route of western animated cartoons for the endless dick & balls jokes. Personally I prefer playing as a little kid adventuring too, but I also don't think these games are radically different from other things in the franchise.

>>720494548
explain how its malware

>>720494586
Fuck, my brain autocorrected Lyoko because I'm in a Digimon thread.

>>720494349
consoles were the original DRM
an exclusive switch 2 release would fix this

>>720494690
>>720494586

>>720494586
Yeah it’s not like it’s something like the OG God of War games. Aegiomon isnt shouting about bringing destruction to the Olympus XII after countless bloodshed and murder

https://youtu.be/CYSsxqHEtsk?si=EqBUwP1zsiy8OKMz

Looks like they are using the DS story games stat progression system again... so you'll be able to get max stats on any digimon. They may take the Lost evolution route and make it so you need max stats to fight the post game. This may also make the game the game very very easy since all it takes to get a digimon with max stats is an hour of grinding against ANYTHING babies, in training and rookies are enough to beat something that is probably stronger then the final boss

>>720494586
Different guy, but I think a part these recent Digimon Stories lack is whimsy.

>>720490360
Is CS mature? when I played it most characters were openly retarded

Had to quit because both the endless tunnel mazes and the PS2 cyber world in negative colors were as bland as Digimon World 2... also fucking attack that made the battles needlessly long, what the fuck? also my party ended up being the 3 platinum numemon just to level up at a decent rate... yay

I'm not putting Denuvo on my PC, sorry buddy.

haven't finished the demo yet but it'ss neat so far. the lack of 60fps on PS5 is truly pathetic but im a whore for my trophies, might bite the bullet and just get on steam

>that BGM in the tokyo government building section

>>720495440
I think its more just that people miss the fairytale aspect of Digimon which was a strong part of Adventure and Tamers. I don't want to play as a wagie digimon trainer I want my child wish fufillment fantasy

>>720495367
I understand that sentiment. Obviously they're still lighthearted and could technically be called whimsical, but that's not what you mean. It is definitely a different approach, I'm just saying it isn't entirely alien.

>>720495468
Yeah, but they don't over do it. The revelation happens and then you just get a cutscene of a guy freaked out why he can't log out. It isn't edgy, it just presents a bad situation. Things like this are something that you would write for and present to a young kid to introduce the concepts to them without shocking them, while also having something to keep adults a little engaged with the movie they're forced to watch too. Nothing we haven't seen a thousand times before in children's media.
It isn't written as something purely for adults, whether we're talking about an actually mature story or the types that pretend to be mature with swear words every few seconds.

>>720495357
To be clear, you had to go out of your way to abuse the system in Lost Evolution. Not only did you have to figure it out (or google it), but you also had to exclusively fill your farm with fodder and wait for their friendship level to max out before you could feed them into another Digimon. Then you had to do that multiple times to reach max stats and you only really grew your party of Digimon as well, as opposed to say CS where you passively gained a lot of other Digimon or could train like 11 or so to max level in like an hour or two. It wasn't a natural progression, you needed to make the conscious decision to intentionally grind away the difficulty knowing full well that would be the end result.

Just started the demo. Is changing the last name for our character impossible?

>>720498920
Considering that your familial relation will be relevant to the time shenanigans, probably.

>>720498535

Nope sadly that omnimon is older than most posters on this board.

>>720501128
The forbidden frog...

>>720498349
You are right you have to consciously do something that to get the most powerful digimon you can and that remains true in TS but in CS every digimon had base stats and a max stats they could hit (+50 in what ever stat you want) some were bulky, fast, ect... now we are back to being able to make every digimon hit 999 which homogenizes the game and will make abilities and signatures even more important then they were in CS

I think they should have done away with the weakness triangle and just made data, vaccine and virus define digimon in other ways like what gear they can wear or something.

>>720495440
>There was a cool old man but, since he's an old man he'll either end up being the villain or jobbing hard
The detective is neither of these.
The obviously evil scientist is a villain, but then he's also obviously evil. And he's the best character in that game, you really should consider finishing it for him

>>720501612
>but in CS every digimon had base stats and a max stats they could hit (+50 in what ever stat you want) some were bulky, fast, ect...
Which was pretty bad for the game and the viability of digimon, it made very abundantly clear tierlists that you cannot circumvent no matter what. Lilithmon would have only been a good DPS option if other Digimon could match her INT, instead she is objectively the best DPS in PVE and then some. She's basically SSS tier in PVE while everyone else only reaches A based mainly on her stats alone. Likewise certain other Digimon would actually feel good to use because you could increase their damage so that their weaker attacks (like all of the multi target pierce mons for example) don't feel like a waste of time to even use.

The DS style approach is a lot better imo. I'm not 100% sure how it works this time to claim Time Strangers is good yet, but in the DS games the Megas and even specific Megas over others still had way stronger passives that made them objectively better. They just weren't so oppressive that you couldn't work around them to use your favourite even though tierlists did exist.

Not only that, but having potential for stat growth means the players will self regulate the difficulty and their approach to the game. Players who enjoy abusing systems can play around to break it like we've seen, while the normal folk can experience the regular balance of difficulty and have the option to burst grow their Digimon if they hit a hurdle. Just like how in Lost Evolution you'll only outpace the enemies if you intentionally aim to do that.

>>720502502
>evil
He literally did more to help you than half the "good guys" in the game

>>720487459 (OP)
maybe I got spoiled by how long the demo for the Trails remake was, but I thought it was pretty short
still, I liked what I played, so I'll definitely get it

Was thinking I was maybe gonna pirate this.
>Denuvo
Guess I just won't play it then. When will publishers realize that Denuvo doesn't actually help sales at all?

>>720488896
Surely the demo doesn't have Shitnuvo on it, right?

>>720503316
But in this case it doesn't even matter since you weren't even going to buy it in the first place.

Why did they feel the need to waste 5 (FIVE) slots on recolors? And they aren't even fan favorite digimon since the 5 recolors are Goblimon (2), Ogremon (2) and SuperStarmon.

>>720503582
Except If I pirated it and really liked it I would consider buying. Piracy would also help word of mouth by having more people talk about the game. Even if you ignore all that, they still have to pay a subscription fee to not even gain any sales.

Why did they feel the need to waste 5 (FIVE) slots on recolors? And they aren't even fan favorite digimon either since the 5 recolors are Goblimon (2), Ogremon (2) and SuperStarmon.

>>720487459 (OP)
The framerate hurts my eyes and the graphics are not nearly as crisp or well defined as CS/HM but I like everything else.

>>720503837
there's going to be WAY more than 5 recolors in the game, surely. It's a genre staple

I just wish the game UI was more readable like CS/HM was

>>720502101
I kinda agree. Elemental damage is a mechanic that's really fucking tricky to get right.
>>720503739
>>720503837
Fuck you. I like SuperStarmon.

>>720503837
The goblimon and Ogremon recolors are generic evil enemy fodder, especially since one of the game's main villains is Titamon
DarkSuperstarmon is an actually pretty neat Digimon, i wouldn't classify it as just a recolor

>While his mind is digitized, his body gets shipped overseas and his organs harvested.

>Mission ends with a "wow that sure is tragic :)" note.
Subject matter is definitely for a mature audience but the tone is lighthearted and kiddy.

>>720501612
I don't really mind. I'd rather things be more homogeneous in a single player game than the vast majority of the roster being useless fodder where using your favorite is discouraged.

I don't like most megas and that sucked ass in CSHM

>>720503910
Play it on PC

>>720487459 (OP)
I got my beloved cat boy back.

>>720503837
It is easy to make a recoloured Digimon and add to the roster without taking up much development time. Some recolours are beloved by fans too, such as Sakuyamon Purple and BlackWarGreymon. Also they do change some of them a decent amount like Hyogamon.

>>720503837
I'm upset my recolour isn't in. Tsukaimon gets fucked all the time despite being the easiest implementation ever when every game always has a Patamon. I get it though that he's not very useful for evolution trees

Has anyone confirmed if the Japanese version has the body type stuff or is it only the English version?

>>720503910
You change fps limit in game settings

>>720489182
>It's just Cyber Sleuth 2
You mean Cyber Sleuth 3, there already was a Cyber Sleuth 2.

>>720489182
>>720504878
It's actually Digimon Story/World DS 7

Wait, the PS5 version can't even get 60fps? I was going to get time stranger on that so I can have comfy digimon time in bed.

I'm not gonna spend $70 on a jrpg.

I love this little shit.
It's just a little dragon guy, he's great.

>>720506854
Yeah he was designed for the 10th anniversary of the IP. He's a cute dragon.

>>720502101
Yeah, I'm fine with the elemental weaknesses and everything, but adding type weaknesses on top of that is a bit much. Plus, I remember using Stingmon in Hacker's Memory a lot and since he's Free Type, he always just felt weak as shit since he could only get half of the damage bonus anyone else could. Maybe having only three reserve members will alleviate that since it won't be as easy to just swap in three Vaccines against the Virus boss unless you save and reload. But like you, I'd rather they have some kind of passive or something other than a weapon triangle.

>>720487459 (OP)
I didn't really like the beginning, it's very slow, they should have shown a different area of the game instead.

>$520 + tax + tup + tariffs for pokeslop
>$70 ($0 if you're not retarded) for Time stranger

>>720506982
The weaknesses work both ways, anon. Stingmon can't get higher than a 1.5x damage boost himself, but he also can never be hit with 3x damage either. Similarly you can't just use the opposite attribute to get 3x damage or 0.5x damage taken, you also have to match the elements with the attributes.

>>720507218
Won't argue with that. If you haven't watched any of the story trailers, you won't even know what the premise of the damn game is by the time the demo kicks you out. At least it was fairly meaty in the gameplay department. Getting to teambuild a bit was a good hook- I'm looking forward to Digivolving my Kotemon once the full game's out.

>>720506854
I really like his (good) mega

>>720490360
I don't mind it. With the show being more infantile than ever the games moving in the opposite direction just makes sense.

I rather just pay the money than use the brownoid method of playing with a shared token.

Post hands

I never got to see Omegamon's name pop up in that fight alongside him. Are they still calling him Omnimon in the official translations? I never pay attention to the Japanese side of the franchise, but I've gotten so used to seeing "Omegamon" that even I call him that without thinking about it anymore.

Terriermon love

>>720508696
Completing the Pokedex is zero fun for me but I imagine everything is just way faster here so I will attempt it.

>>720506982
The free types are best as support tanks and were useful against some of the superbosses but are unnecessary outside of that

>>720508813
I cant see why they wouldnt as theyre still calling him omni in the eng tcg. Its probably one of the few dub names theyre consistent with.

>>720508897
>I imagine everything is just way faster here

>>720503837
i know this game has been in development for a while, but i really wanted shinmonzaemon in :(

I know all Digimon games are not that great but to pass the time I'm looking at either Digimon Survive or the PSP season 1 games. What would you rec?

Omnimon
Gatomon
Myotismon

>>720509316
Survive if you like visual novel

>>720509316
Digimon Dusk.

>>720490939
>I fuck with both.
You mean the vibes right, anon?

>>720509149
We'll see. This game makes you jump through more hoops to De-Digivolve than previous entries, but it also lets you use duplicates and everything in your box gains XP from battle, so I imagine cleaning up everything Ultimate and below will be a snap. We'll have to find out what the Mega requirements are and if there's any horse shit evolution lines like fucking Lucemon where you had to have your stats spread out perfectly for each stage.

>>720509316
One is a vn barebones srpg with a new story, another is an adventure jrpg with some new shit like everyone getting megas. Your choice.

>CS was the precursor to the first good digimon game

... Yeah.
Let's go with that.

>>720495367
>>720497848
I think thats just because Cyber Sleuth largely cut out the isekai aspects and makes you interface with the internet and vr instead which is obviously less whimsical than exploring the digital world full of strange traces of technology like in the anime. To be fair, the Digimon Story games on DS were already watering down this aspect when they introduced an entire tamer society of humans into the digital world which naturally makes it feel less foreign.

Digimon world 3/2003 is the best game overall.

>>720509671
Based, digimon is why I finally got a playstation as a kid, I didn't really care until I saw digimon world ads in some magazine and I started begging my mom for one for christmas

>>720509586
I think it's less of a thing where the setting is the wild unknown and more of a tone thing. But the tone is tied to the setting.

>>720509814
Me too but i played world 1 first

>>720502731
I think Lost Evolution was too easy. My party outpaced regular enemies and started curbstomping most non-optional bosses when all I did was keep a small set of core party members without rotating them out much and boosting their stats on the farm every time their training limit refreshed.

Which do you consider more iconic for old digimon, tyranomon or metalgreymon?

>>720509586
The Tamers in Story were introduced a natural part of the world, they assimilated to it and live alongside the existing Digimon society. You're basically playing through well after the initial wave of humans entered the Digital World. CS/HM is great too, they just focused on the internet aesthetic and human world threats of Our War Game. I don't want everything to just be a rehash of World 1 or Adventure.

>>720510189
yes but don't shit up these threads with your cringe roleplay

>>720510189
It's a series for heterosexuals so yes

>>720510189

>>720510189
Yes because Digimon is only for heterosexual males.

>>720510356
There is no war. Pokemon just has been absolute garbage and way past its glory and Digimon was always shit so you can still look forward to a new game.

>>720510017
Metalgreymon is probably the most iconic digimon overall since he was a focus relatively early in the adventures, tyranomon appeared for like 10 seconds just to get blasted by metalgreymon, I think even a lot of people who haven't interacted with the series in years could name metalgreymon over tyranomon

>>720506376

I'm honestly convinced its one overly annoying faggot that's whining about it every thread, its the same posts each time, I really don't care if people pirate things complaining because something isn't instantly piratable day one every thread is just mental illness

>>720510663
Hilarious how it debuted as an exclusive evolution for fucking Gabumon.

>>720510639
iirc she is one of the newer digimon made for the new v-pets, I also like her, she is cute.

>>720510663
I mean iconic is what most people can easily name off the top of their heads not what you think looks better, Tai was the main character and Agumon digivolving in to metalgreymon is a much bigger plot point in the biggest entry in the series

>>720510360
I would fem Veemon and specially fem Guilmon.

>>720510639
She's one of the secondary mega level digimon introduced for the Liberator webcomic cast. The first mega her line got was pic related.

>>720510714
Still kinda sucks that Digimon have completely random paths instead of being like the first 3 seasons of the anime. I think this is legit the biggest reason Pokemon is more popular.

Sex with Lucemon

>>720510663
Machinedramon is the one that I think people most often bring up when they compare monster collectors. Like Pokemon has Pikachu, Digimon has a robot dinosaur with fifty fucking guns.

>>720510895
>Digimon have completely random paths instead
play the game

Are people memeing or is there legitimately anyone thinking Agumon is not the most iconic digimon by lightyears?

Why didn't you post it then?

>>720510895
Some vpets are really random, especially early ones (Elecmon evolving to a fucking whale or a flaming bird is a prime example) but others in general try to keep a certain theme for lines even if they let you go off the rails and ditch any consistency by fulfilling alt conditions. It's relatively easy to guess which digimon will actually evolve to another digimon in the shambala vpets due to pendulums generally having 1 linear evo + 2 or more alternate jogress only options.

>>720511042
Read the entire post, I specified exactly what I meant.

>>720510997
Machinedraymon only has like maybe one gun if you count the hand.

>>720511217
Unironically one of the coolest mons.

>>720510895
It's weird at first, but I like how it's the one thing that calls back the the v-pet origins. Your mon is gonna evolve no matter what you do, but depending on whether you raise it right or treat it like shit, it could end up being a badass or a useless piece of shit. Even though the Story games don't treat it that way, it's still cool that you may qualify for different final forms depending on what stats you prioritized.

>>720511242
Why isn't ranamon playing along?

>>720510413
Can you handle her?

>>720511270
Oh yea, never mind the giant fucking cannons on his back, guess those are just for decoration.

>>720511232
It helps when a vpet has an overall theme that it tries to follow and isn't just a collection of random critters like the X version 1. I know pic is just a remake of an old pendulum with a couple of new mons thrown in but it serves as an example.

Do the frontier human hybrid digimon ever appear in the games? I think they suck so don't really care. just curious.

That's not in the game.

>>720511540
Yes, especially Agunimon

>>720511540
Only a tiny handful of them because incorporating every single fucking line of each warrior would take up way too much space for any roster. This game for example has the fire and light warriors (basically the Tai and Matt equivalents) and the evil water bitch and for some random reason the ancient version of the mirror guy (only ancient mon in the game as well, not even fire and light got theirs)

>>720511593
More for me. But respectable, so yes.

>>720511458
The Infinity Cannon is a laser weapon. I don't know if the chest missiles count as guns either, since they're just living monsters flying out for kamikaze attacks.

Probably the best demo of the year.

>>720511540
In most games basically only the fire and light guys ever show up in virtue of them being main anime characters. Time Stranger has them + a few of their alternate forms + the frog bitch everybody wants to fuck and her squid form

Agunimon/BurningGreymon and Lobomon/KendoGarurumon were added to Hacker's Memory and are present in Time Stranger, but that's been it as far as I'm aware. Annoyingly, you had to get the associated Spirits to unlock them, but the game didn't give them to you until well after they were obsolete. Same thing for the Adventure 02 Armor mons. Hopefully you get those earlier in this game, since it looks like you still need Spirits and Digi-Eggs.

This series stuck out to me the most for having everyone except red and blue guys basically be jobbers that don't matter. Aside from maybe season 2 that is. Part of the reason why I liked Tamers and Data squad the most, everyone gets to their final forms and it makes me happy.

>>720512445

>>720487459 (OP)
Loved it. My current critique right now is of course difficulty being on the easy side, and the lack of environmental sound at the Digimon town. Seeing Zudomon mashing him hammer on the anvil and not hearing any "thunk!" sound is so jarring. It was fine during the cutscene though albeit a bit delayed.

>>720513128
Data Squad and Tamers both have only 3 main guys which I imagine is the main reason they could fully flesh them out. Less is just more. The original adventure benefited from the larger diverse cast but everything after that had tons of filler guys for no real purpose.

>2/3 made it
Not bad

>>720513360
Kys poorfaggot

>>720513523
This is also true. I think the perfect ratio is always going to be (Reptile, Mammal, Girl) for your 3 main digimon. I need to get around to watching Ghost Game, I tried watching Tri when it was new but got super bored and quit like 6 episodes in. Adventure 1 wasn't my fave season anyway since I watched Tamers first anyway.

>>720513523
>Tamers both have only 3 main guys

>>720508813
Still using Omnimon, probably still has all the usual localizations

>>720502731
> I'm not 100% sure how it works this time to claim Time Strangers is good yet

As far as I can tell

-Digimon still have set base stats
-Unique passives are gone, replaced by personality skills (you can change any digimon's personality skill with enough time but these skills are more generic)
-Generic attacks are fully customizable, no need to make a giant plan just to get the one attack you want
-You can grind as much as you like to take anyone to max stats (the bonus stats have no cap besides the actual stat cap, it doesn't matter what evo stage)
-No need to do an equivalent to the ABI grind anymore because you can increase talent and bonus stats with load enhancement

I think they saw all the complaints people had with CS and tried to address every issue. They really tried to make it so players can use whatever digimon they want. Although digimon still have their signature attack/weaknesses/resistances

Are these bolts in angemon's chest supposed to be a reference to Jesus nails? This shit is kinda metal as fuck.

>>720513231
It's functionally the same thing, it just doesn't involve specific Digimon.

>>720513753
They were just part of the larger theme of Tamers (Digimon Tamers are everywhere). I don't count them towards the main cast.

Yeah those extra guys in Tamers are very obviously side characters. Juri is important but she was never a protagonist. The only exception is that one guy with Justimon from the Wonderswan games but he's just a weirdo in general, like if Mameo showed up in Adventure with Mugendramon.

ryo was injected into the series as a crossover wonderswan character. he also appeared in 02 to tie into the adventure wonderswan games.
the wonderswan was ultimately scrapped after yokoi died in a dubious accident which some dubbed a murder orchestrated by yakuza with ties to nintendo. it's a shame because the WSC was more powerful than the GBA at the time

>How is the comic?
meh honestly, but then again I just don't like the whole vertical format in general. Reminds me too much of gookshit webtoon comics and it feels claustrophobic.

The only gate he opens is the gates of heaven after he punches your face in.

>>720514771
It's fine, it's plays it fast with the card game battles and some of the story developments because the comic is on a biweekly schedule.

So did the evo lines get datamined along with the roster? I'm curious what MedievalGallantmon's prevos are.

Which starter gets me the fastest track to Ladydevimon or Beelstarmon?

>>720515712
Transmon

It kinda sucks that my taste in Digimon is so meh when there's so many cooler mons to choose. I often steer towards Omegamon, Alphamon, Dukemon, Jesmon types. Also, I'm watching the latest Nintendo Direct, isn't the next Pokemon Legends combat system, is basically Digimon World?

>>720516393
>isn't the next Pokemon Legends's combat system basically Digimon World's?
yes. people have pointed it out ever since it announced. it's much closer to Decode's than the original DW1's (e.g. trainer plays same role as the movement marker, protect as block command analogue)

>>720516393
From what I can tell, the combat in ZA is snapper than all of the world games and combat can happen anywhere with a drop of the hat. Compared to the world games which makes an arena on the spot and depending on how you raise your Digimon, they either are completely obedient to you and will follow your command after awhile or they do whatever they want(this mostly applies to world and decode). In next order, commands are fast and snappy especially the block command.

>>720516453
I prefer Examon desu.

>>720513736
>I need to get around to watching Ghost Game
Watch it fucking now. It's seriously peak Digimon media. They took the Dr Who format or overarching plot scattered throughout standalone episodes and executed it really well.

>>720516754
Didn't Nintendo patented this shit? So, what's gonna happen to the World series then?
>>720516857
I see. Considering the pokemon will execute the command a.s.a.p unlike the world games where the command is more like a suggestion. Even still, the encounters seems to only occur on a flat open space from what I've seen. I guess one drawback to this battle system is that it has to sacrifice on level design.

>>720516754
Can't wait for Nintendo to retroactively sue Digimon for stealing their ideas.

>>720517358
i don't know if nintendo actually has the balls to go after bandai

>>720513820
Yeah they tried to make every digimon possible to be useful, though I think over-correcting like that may reduce their uniqueness.

>>720517445
Ofcourse not. They're kind of tied together in an amicable relationship, but its fun to mock arguably the most anti consumer videogame related company.

>>720516754
Do we have a list of all the things Pokemon stole from digimon yet? There's been a handful of things now.

>>720517296
>Didn't Nintendo patented this shit? So, what's gonna happen to the World series then?
Same thing that's happening now: You don't get any more World games like that.

Bandai doesn't give a shit, they weren't making them to begin with.

>>720517296
>flat open space
Battles can take place anywhere from what I've seen. From rooftops, the the streets, ally ways, sewers, etc. World games, typically make an arena on the spot where everyone moves into place. In that regard, entering and exiting battles in time stranger is the fastest Digimon has ever been. Even faster than Metaphor.

>>720516857
>combat can happen anywhere with a drop of the hat.
fucking false. you need to hit someone or get hit to start a battle. that alone doesn't make it seamless.
furthermore, there's a delay before a pokemon will receive its orders as the a marker moves form the trainer to the target (the delay punishes people who stand at the edge of a move's range). furthermore pokemon automatically proceeds to walk up to the opponent to execute a move after receiving an order, which means that if you mistime an order, you're fucked (unlike in DW1-like games, where the distance or move commands can stop your digimon if it hasn't started attacking yet)
>in decode commands aren't snappy
they are and they respond immediately, assuming they aren't busy. same deal in DW1 (e.g. the distance and block(more like stay still) commands take effect immediately)

>>720516754

>>720518423
We already know that there's DLC coming, and those seem like easy choices for it. If I remember right, I think the Sistermons were pre-order bonuses or some other kind of "free" DLC for the first Cyber-Sleuth, which was part of why Noir getting changed to Ciel was so controversial. Hudiemon is too ingrained in the lore of Hacker's Memory and is a walking spoiler, and Arcadiamon was nigh-on forgotten until its surprise inclusion in Hacker's Memory. So they're both too "special" for the base roster and would make for good nostalgia pandering.

Sure, I'd prefer it if there were no DLC and we just got every Digimon I care about in the base game, but that's not the world we live in.

>>720518720

Your fault for watching Adventure sequels after 02.

>>720519862
The cuts suck but Alphamon and Crusadermon/LordKnightmon are part of the Royal Knights group, which is probably the most well known group of Digimon. Hudiemon was made for HM's story, while the RKs were part of CS/HM's story they already had a long history prior.

The devs also want people to know about the 3 host computers/digital worlds now too in TS's story, so all the RKs were bound to show up

>>720521370
Her human form did things to me as a kid. glad I wasn't a digivice holder because I'd surrender to her in a second

Balance is wack, wish games had real game testers that try to balance games

The turning digimon into xp/stats system is broken you can just gain xp on hundreds of digimon at once then feed it all into one for 999999999 stats and solo everything

>>720501612
did every digimon have two unique skils and a unique passive?

why did they downgrade this in ts? only 1 unique sill and no unique passive?

>>720487459 (OP)
All the shading effects made me feel like I was playing fucking Digital Devil Saga. Too bad the dungeon design wasnt as good as an actual SMT games though. Plus the lack of an overworld was also disappointing

Also I really think they shouldnt have bothered with letting you see the intro and just had the demo start you out at the Digimon village while assigning you tutorials to read.

>>720515959

>>720520891

>>720522447
Didn't ask.

>>720507359
don't worry it will have $5 clearance price by christmas

>>720521878
No most had 1 signature attack, and some had 2. All the returning mons will have the same attacks, while some returners got new attacks. The unique passives are gone though

>>720513820
>You can grind as much as you like to take anyone to max stats
Pic related implies there is some sort of cap
Since it's the same company that the CS games I assume "up to 100 times" actually means "you can get 100 additional stat points," making it identical to how CS was in its initial release

>>720521878
>did every digimon have two unique skils and a unique passive?
No, only a select few got two unique skills. Most of the time one was okay and the other was useless too.

>why did they downgrade this in ts?
Because most passives were either useless or so overpowered that you are gimping yourself massively by not bringing that Digimon. For example here are 2 passives from two Mega level Digimon in the game,
>You are always guaranteed the first turn for every Digimon in your party regardless of speed.
This was so insanely busted that they reduced it to only working for the Digimon who has the passive and it is still one of the strongest in the game.

>Prevents Paralysis.
This prevents Paralysis.

Oh, I can just run digimon over while riding a digimon kinda like in Persona 5 Royal with the cat van. And it'll also automatically perform the digiattack on destructables on the map

>>720521878
Support Effects weren't unique, they were often shared by the several Digimon in an evolutionary line and sometimes unrelated Digimon would have them
Still there were far more of them in CS than there will be in TS unless there's more of the game we're not seeing yet, and I think there likely will be, I doubt they got rid of Platinum shits acting as the resident metal slimes

>>720522447
A big appeal of the Japanese way of saying Arukenimon is likely the way she stresses each syllable whenever she appears in any Digimon media. It doesn't really work the same with Arachnemon.

Wait, Musyamon is champion level? I thought he's Ultimate? He was really strong when I fought him in the marsh area in DMW3, the area with Zanbamon before he fled.

I hope the Godzillamons get added as DLC or something.

Oh neat haven't seen this guy since forever. Is he in the roster?

>>720523739
why would they model and animate it and not make it obtainable?

I mean, it's not uncommon for games to create assets and not have it playable. Also, really loving how vibrant the town is.

i like it, this is the thing about digimon that makes it cool. it's not mature but it doesn't sugarcoat it, these monsters exist, we don't know much about them but they may be a threat to humanity, luckily you have some on your side but you need to recruit more. Digimon is vast in its lore but sadly we are limited to niche sites to learn more

Pic related
Veemon > Tsunomon > ate 2 Wormon to lvl 11/12 > evo to Veemon > ate 2 Zubamon to lvl12 > devo to Tsunomon

-The 0 Bond Veemon does not gain any extra stats when devolving or evolving (only when fed)
-The 1 Bond Veemon gains stats when devolving to Tsunomon, then does not gain any extra stats when evolving from Tsunomon to Veemon (and nothing again when devolving back to Tsunomon)
-The 2 Bond Veemon gains stats when devolving to Tsunomon, the gains stats again when evolving to Veemon (2nd time evo/devolving), but does not gain extra stats when devolving to Tsunomon

tldr I think the Bond stat is literally the amount of times you can gain extra stats from Devolving/Evolving it's just listed as %

>>720490360
I think >>720495440 gets at it the best. I don't want a "mature" as in "hurr muh dark edgy themes" from Digimon, I want a mature story as in I want an intelligent story based around really smart people doing smart things.

I think that's what pissed me off the most about Cyber Sluts. They were teetering on the edge of a great story where Digimon's proximity to the real world had an actual change to realistically affect it in meaningful ways and there being groups of people with this new power going against each other and learning about the Digimon...but then you get Saturday morning Monster of the Week plotlines where the villains are cracking jokes about opening news paper ads for "Bad Guy Wanted to rob bank: May run into super heroes."

It's such a shame too, cause it was closer than any other monster tamer out there.

I just want a good, modern story where the monsters have a real impact on the narrative instead of being a metaphor for a gun. Is that really so much to ask for?

>>720530319

yuck

>>720530402
Not even that, I mean like their individual presence has, y'know, presence. Like the characters making specific use of certain monsters and reacting to them. I don't need Agumon to have a 10 minute silliloqui about how he was part of a digimon village where he blah blah blah. I just want it to feel like I have an actual thing there that is influencing the narrative beyond "I'm a gun."

You say this, but the Digimon are all fully fledged characters in the DS games. They have just as much of a role in the story and the world itself as any tamer does, if you're autistic enough you can even follow some of the side characters through multiple titles.

That's what this game is

>>720532223
Yeah but I don't want them to just be humans, and I don't want it in a non current-world setting. I want them to have a functional impact on our world today.

Like in Cyber Sleuths, Digimon are reported to be these "elite hacker tools! Used for intense computer hacking!" Then in the narrative of the story all they effectively are are just guns. They don't do any actual hacking or changing of anything. The closest I think one of them gets is an air conditioner goes on the fritz. Every other part of the story, they just act as guards to prevent people in their VR headsets from getting into a building.

>>720532525
It's not. I played the Demo. It's 100% going to just be Cyber Sleuths 3 and utterly miss the mark.

>>720532943
Okay, now you lost me. Can you clarify your definition of human and monster?

>>720533050
>Can you clarify your definition of human and monster?
Just not human. Everything the other anon mentioned could 100% effectively be replaced with a super human. Their thinking, their narrative impact on the story, their characteristics, all of it is just high-level anime humans doing human things. I specifically don't want that. I want something inhuman being used to narratively impact the story in a way that only they can get to do.
>I agree just because the slueth part in Cyber Slueth was fucking wasted. There was not 1 good mystery in that game.

This is definitely a step closer to what I want, but not a big step. That's still just "Pokémon of the week" style show where "Monster causes problem" "Oh no!" "Oh okay we fought for a bit and now we're all friends!"

I'd probably want something closer to Adventure's few episodes where they were dragging the Digimon around in the real world and trying to hide them and shit. Or Parasyte except instead of aliens it's pet monsters.


>>720533062
>So you don't want a Digimon title then
Yeah that's literally the point of what I said originally. Cyber Sleuth is the closest thing to what I wanted a story of specifically and they missed the mark. That was my entire thesis statement to start with. What makes it worse is Digimon is one the closest monster tamers to this outside of maybe SMT's Devil Summoner series, but they keep leaning into Royal Knights being Mahval and the Digital World instead of focusing on the real world.

Exploration was boring,Combat was an absolute waste of assets(which is a shame because the arts pretty good)&time on account of being too easy and storywise it lulls too much like its a horror movie where people are actually through areaswith a mystery behind every corner when in reality the fuckin kids are just camping out at the school.

Another shitty thing about the story too is that theres not much structure or threat to the world. The Shuji+Lopmon and ArukenimonXRyou plotlines are practically the highlights.

I couldn't force myself to go through anymore CS because I couldn't skip the cutscenes and I could have cared a less about the "deep lore" they were trying to make.

>>720533754
Yes? They didn't. That's what made the original v-pet so good. I didn't throw that out there as an example of what I hated.

>>720533676
Mega Raichu X and Y look AI generated lol

>>720533491
What you are describing occurs in Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory. Not only in the main story with characters like Nokia or Arkadimon, but also within numerous sidequests. They all show different ways in which the Digimon are either fitting in or not due to their differences from humans, some adapt to the human world merging and others can't understand it causing conflicts. I mean, the digital world isn't even really relevant to CS either beyond Digimon coming from it.

>>720533932
Then maybe next time get your hand off your girlfriend's boyfriend's dick and write your thoughts out better next time.

>>720532643
It's also very slow to grind bond, it takes like 10 fights and 2 talks to get 1%. They probably intended the real minmax way be to evolving and devolving between Ult to Mega / Mega to Mega+. You do have to go out of your way to grind out these stats even with feeding, but the devs definitely forgot about ''What if someone just feeds 200+ babies into one guy?''

>>720533917
>Because I couldnt skip the cut scenes
Nta but you only see each cutscene like once unless you are losing and losing in Cyber Sleuth is like proof you are a penultimate retard.

>>720533880
That can be a good thing or a bad thing depending what DNA of which series you're extracting from.

>>720534052
What do you mean each cutscene like once? I'm talking about the character interaction parts.

>>720533491
>Just not human.
Okay, that doesn't make things clear for me. Do you just want them all to act autistic or like robots? Does a baltan count?
>"Monster causes problem" "Oh no!" "Oh okay we fought for a bit and now we're all friends!"
No. Ideally, I'd like some death and jail time for the criminals. I know there needs to be a token case where the lawbreaker was actually the good guy and gets away scott free. But at the end of the day, I think I don't really care about that as long as the mystery is well done. Also, I'm pretty sure most of the dopants got arrested or killed.

>>720533959
>What you are describing occurs in Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory.
Definitely not in Cyber Sleuth. Haven't played Hacker's Memory yet, but nothing of what I described happens in CS. What, I'm supposed to take Nokia's convos with Agumon and Gabumon into account here? Or all the coffee scenes as some sort of "Failure to adapt" thing? Nah, those are just quirky human traits. Nothing about it is them acting like monsters. They're just talking guns. Fuck, Ghost Game actually is way closer to what I'm talking about than CS ever gets, because at least those Digimon actually have very specific effects that they were enacting on the world. It just shits on its potential when it literally never makes an ounce of progression until the last episode where they try to rush what should be at least 1 year's worth of plot points into the last 12 minutes.

>>720533976
>Harumphyuarpmayuhramp *I* read something wrong? Impossible. This is CLEARLY your fault.
You type like a fat person.

>>720534179
>Okay, that doesn't make things clear for me.
Take the character and replace it with a human character instead and enact the same scenes. If they make any sort of supernatural attack, replace that with a gun in their hand, maybe even a sci-fi one. Does it stop making narrative sense? If the answer is "no," you've failed the check.
>Do you just want them all to act autistic or like robots?
Kinda a weird jump there. I would say more like animals before I start talking about autism.
>Does a baltan count?
Don't really know anything about Ultraman at all. I had to google that to even figure that much out.
>But at the end of the day, I think I don't really care about that as long as the mystery is well done.
That was also a big waste of Cyber Sleuths in general, honestly. That at least would have made me say "okay, at least I'm still getting it good in this area of story telling."

>>720534486
>You type like a fat person.
And you reply like a whiny little bitch who can't handle critque. Boo hoo.

>>720534539

>>720534687
Yeah, I dunno man. I'm not really feeling it from you anymore. Manchild? That's like on the same par as "boot licker." Does anyone really feel threatened or insulted by that? You should probably sleep, you must be feeling tired. Eat some soup too, that's good for feeling under.

>>720487459 (OP)
Looks like shit, not paying for it

>>720534486
So Digimon acting like humans doesn't count, and neither do Digimon not acting like humans. Honestly I'm just baffled now. How would you write a character that doesn't potentially act like a human in any regard, but still communicates and interacts with humans? Just have them do completely random things that don't make sense? I mean if your answer is to have them just be animals or inhuman but rational, all the games do those two already. CS literally has many cases just like Ghost Game and that's the thing you're using as an example for why CS doesn't do it. Confusing.

>>720534921
how long do think loli mirei will stay before they turn her back?

>>720534817
>So Digimon acting like humans doesn't count
Correct. It's a fault of classical fantasy writing. "I wrote an elf, but it's basically just a pretty human with pointed ears" vs "I wrote an elf, it has a skewed perspective of time due to their longevity and immortality."
>and neither do Digimon not acting like humans.
Incorrect. What I'm saying with "they are guns" is that they don't have an actual presence or narrative weight in the story except purely as a means to battle/cause harm to an opponent. "I have a Digimon under my control, so I can kill you in a fight." They don't exist in the story until two humans meet with each other and decide to pull them out to fight a little bit, trading Digi-blows, and then put them away afterwards.

>How would you write a character that doesn't potentially act like a human in any regard, but still communicates and interacts with humans?
Same way you write a good Elf race in a fantasy story. Think about the creature, how it's shaped, how it lives and breathes, what its specific wants and desires would be as it interacted with the world, and try to mold a way of thinking based on that.

>all the games do those two already.
>CS literally has many cases just like Ghost Game
They utterly and truly do not. The extend of the effect Digimon have on the real world is "well, one time the AC went crazy cause there was a Digimon in there." That's it. The rest of the time, a "hacker" just has one so he can fight with people. Like a gun.

I really like the scaling of the Boss Battles

Okay, now put a human in that scenario. Does it play out any different? Obviously not because an immortal human would have a skewed perspective as well, ergo you've just written a human by your logic.

>The extend of the effect Digimon have on the real world is "well, one time the AC went crazy cause there was a Digimon in there." That's it.
Yes, if you lie about it the game certainly doesn't fit your criteria. Except we have examples like the Infermon who doesn't even understand the concept of death or even the digital vs physical distinction at all.

Why would I give a fuck about "using any Digimon I want" if they all play the game anyways?

Obviously the ideal is for them to both feel unique and useful, but i'd honestly rather some Digimon be shit and some great over them all feeling interchangable

lol no, that scenario is actually wildly different and you actually pass the check I mentioend before because an Elf is part of a race of people, so they actually have more than their 1 time outlier immortal human traits. They have culture, they have language, they have political affiliations with other creatures, they have evolved ways of dealing with the stress of long lives far better than a human mind would ever be capable of dealing. You would have to be an absolute storylet to think that you could 1:1 just "human-swap" a well-written Elf race with a human and not have it come off as weird.
>B-b-buh if you swap ALL of the elves at one time with humans, then ACKSHUALLY you'll have
Written elves. Yes. That's what this collective race of humans is called.

>if you lie about it the game certainly doesn't fit your criteria.
What lie occurred? The Digimon have literally no effect on anything except an AC unit once and like maybe one other thing in the entire 40 hour story. The rest of it is the Royal Knights being marvel heroes and doing their human machinations.

>They have culture, they have language, they have political affiliations with other creatures, they have evolved ways of dealing with the stress of long lives far better than a human mind would ever be capable of dealing
Aside from the long lives this is true of every human culture, even on our mundane Earth cultures vary so dramatically that they are often incompatible with one another. If humans were equally as long lived they'd develop similar traits to the elves in terms of adapting to their longevity or biological aspects, from a narrative perspective elves, dwarves, etc are simply different cultures. By your logic you have no reason to exclude Digimon from the criteria.
