Title: top 5 reasons why jeanne d'arc sucks
Post by: Van Cruncheon on August 22, 2007, 10:11:49 PM
5. the name is difficult for my imaginary girlfriend, gamespot's own aeris and star of ff7, to pronounce. "jeeeeeen dee ark" she hyperarticulated in her breathy, strident voice, right before i cut her off to ask if she could put something in her pussy.

4. girls can't fight with swords! they are supposed to heal and cast magic and blush when spoken to. this is crap.

3. it glorifies the french and insults the english. the english gave us the bbc. the french gave us those incomprehensible books tvc reads and pretends to like. the english have done way more for my entertainment and should not be discredited as a bunch of demonically possessed children and evil clowns.

2. it's not team fortress 2.

1. it has confused me about history. i've come to accept that nobunaga commanded the dread power of the oni during the sengoku period of japan, and that germany would have won world war 2 with its army of steam-powered super robots were it not for a coterie of gifted and spunky children, and i can even believe that france repelled british incursions in the 15th century through the power of magical girls, but FRANCE SUPPORTING FREEDOM? fuck you, if this is history, then the terrorists have already won.

i give this game a C- out of 10.

What about the gameplay, dummy?  And wtf do you need an imaginary girlfriend if you've got a wife to fuck?  If not for the blatant sexism and racism, your review would have been given a FoC- for irrelevant nonsense.

it's good

i mean, it doesn't look nearly as chintzy as luminous arc, so that's always a plus too. it sounds nice.

and it is some polished standard srpg fare so far, with some of its own tweaks and enhancements. it's fftish.

btw im so poor. i bought this, bioshock, and i just pressed keep it for persona 3 on gamefly, so, like, basically i spent my entire paycheck

I like the chibi-styled characters. They're so child-like I just want to pinch their cheeks.

I'm on mission 6 in jeanne now and I really like it.

I like some of the little touches that make it a bit easier: unified guards, burning auras, transformations, etc.

i mean its no tactics ogre, but it's fun. reminds me of fft, which was calculator-broken, so it's not like that game is the perfect paradigm to compare it to anyway.

Dragoneer's Aria > Jeanne D'Arc

Dragonner's Aria looks even more boring and by the numbers than Brave Story.

One of the things I railed on DQ8 most for was being boring and by the numbers. I wrote some epic length posts about how DQ8 represented all that is bad with the RPG genre and why its a stagnant, dull genre etc etc.

I got it also, splitting my time between bioshock. I like the flow of the battles it seems to flow faster than tradional "tactics" games. I'm not to far in though, and everything seems so expensive so far, I bought a buckler, and leather armor and now I'm broke, In hindsight I should of bought a spell.

dragoneer's aria is far less by the numbers than brave story.

dragon quest isn't boring and by the numbers because it's been the same thing since the 80's, and what it does, it does extremely well. It makes you feel like WOW I SURE DID HAVE A FUN ASS ADVENTURE. dragon quest has charm up the ass imo

That is the definition of by the numbers
