The drop rates were lower than they really should have been but a lot of the DSS combinations aren't terribly useful and as far as I can remember zero of them are mandatory. They're not like relics or key items, just extra content that you receive at random

Complaining that you can't get certain combos without a lot of grinding is like complaining that you had to farm for the crissaegrim in SOTN. You only have to do that if you're determined to have something you don't actually need. You will get some cards by dumb luck even if you put zero effort into it. If you don't want to grind any of them then work with whatever you get. And, again, magician mode will let you play from start to finish with every combo unlocked with zero grinding and it's honestly easier to just beat the game once and unlock that mode than grind every DSS card in first playthrough

The controls aren't very precise but they don't need to be since they give you a huge margin for error. If you're trying to grapple onto something or land on a designated spot you just need to be anywhere in the vicinity and Sly will home in on it like a missile.

I mean, wood and dirt is typically brown and rocks are grey, not sure what kind of crazy color pallete you expect from some rural village.

>be a japanese game company

>need to generate that revenue
>millions and millions of people in the US and eruope are willing to pay out the ass for what you have
>eh, you can buy from us when we feel like it
>localization is such a pain don't you know
>wait why are you buying that competing product

I always find it interesting how despite being based in an unapologetically capitalist country the Japanese game industry sometimes turned its nose up at the idea of maximizing profit. Sell to whoever's buying, man

Daikatana kind of reminds me of Alien 3, where people are so eager to point out that it's more disappointing than terrible and has some really nice aspects to it that they almost forget everyone was disappointed for a reason. Is it genuinely terrible, like worst game of all time terrible? No. Is it some hidden gem that people just failed to properly appreciate? Also no.

Anon, if you're posting on /vr you're not exactly conforming to masculine stereotypes yourself. If you really wanted to be a grown-ass man you'd stop playing vidya entirely and take up woodcutting or hunting or some traditional-type macho hobby. but here you are.

The only real difference between you and JRPG fags is they're less self-conscious about their choices in recreational activities. Unclench your butthole, embrace the autsim and you might enjoy new things
