games need more HERO GROWS UP #infinitespace spoiler

#InfiniteSpace ship module management, looks like #tetris plays like #Diablo2 inventory; a little puzzle every time you need to fit a new module into a ship

finally a meaningful choice in #InfiniteSpace; alas, selecting "show him no mercy" doesn't do anything except loop back to the choice selection screen.

"you wouldn't actually kill me, would you?!"

yes, i would.

selecting "show him no mercy" three times forces "spare his life" as if the game is just like "stop, it's not happening. there is no real choice here."

new #TotallyRealStarship, *only* took 3 hours of consecutive circling of the planet #Zvenigorad as there are only 2 real ways to grind money in #InfiniteSpace: grinding battles or grinding docking stations with starships full of #Holds.

anyways, another named after a decrepit Russian battleship: Borodino

of course, mine is named after King Arthur's promised land *and* the great song by #RoxyMusic

30% of #InfiniteSpace is traveling back & forth between planets, 30% is talking to people at bars repeatedly, 20% ship battles, 15% is ship management, 5% crew management.

is it "fun" -- i really don't know. very unsure right now.

i really want it to be "fun"

the Orfey is a nice ship. although reliance on rockets requires one to get closer in range than desired in most cases.

a Orfey Class destroyer, apparently, is a Russian battleship from WWI. many of the ships are named after Russian/Soviet battleships, unsure why.

of course, mine is named after Char.

curious thing about #InfiniteSpace is, while spacefaring, the bottom screen shows inside of the bridge which has a number of screens, one of which has a display showcasing exactly what's on the top screen of the DS, UI and all.

this means that the HP/CA and healthbars/whatnot are part of the in-game computer system, and the top screen is a representation of what the captain actually sees on the display OR it was simply easier for devs to mirror the top screen instead of removing the UI etc.

damn, can't play #InfiniteSpace after a glass of wine. my #alcoholism cured

if #InfiniteSpace succeeds at anything, it's making the player feel like they're in the captain's seat of a #TotallyRealStarship that requires your crew to verbally confirm every order you give them

*warning that dialogue volume is much lower than laser beam SEs

@buru5 this is an alltime favourite of mine! Basically, space Suikoden, it even has some obscure Suikoden references. The combat is a bit off putting and I could win some early battles only because of a cheating strategy, but everything else was great. Plot was the most 80s SciFi anime you can get outside actual 80s SciFi anime! #InfiniteSpace #jrpg #NintendoDS
