Title: I'm playing Suikoden V
Post by: Diunx on August 14, 2010, 07:52:12 PM: Game is awesome, gonna go play some more.

Love this game. V is great.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Third on August 14, 2010, 08:09:56 PM: My first Suikoden game ever. I loved it. Could never beat the end boss, though. Stopped playing after I died a few times.
This and Tierkreis are the only Suikoden game I've ever played. Liked them both. I finished Tierkreis at least.

Suikoden II is so good

Post by: Third on August 14, 2010, 08:28:10 PM: How bad are the graphics? I tried to play the older Persona games after having finished Persona 3. But I just couldn't play them. :yuck
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Himu on August 14, 2010, 08:29:16 PM: Suikoden 1 looks like shit.

Suikoden 2 is one of the best looking 2d rpgs on the psx. It also the best overall rpg on the psx.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Bebpo on August 14, 2010, 08:41:10 PM: They hold up today. Both games.

Persona 1...lololol
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Himu on August 14, 2010, 09:36:50 PM: Suikoden 1 really doesn't hold up much. Ugly portraits, can't run;etc the one thing it has going for it it is setting up the history and lore for the rest of the series.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Bebpo on August 14, 2010, 09:46:33 PM: Game is fine and it's like 10-20 hours long. Still worth playing.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Himu on August 14, 2010, 10:16:26 PM: Didn't say it wasn't worth playing. But don't expect much.

play the first two game on emus

Suikoden II is so good

I finished those games a couple of years ago and was actually replaying them before getting 3, love them.

My first Suikoden was IV, I found it in an used games stores bought it and even though the game is crap I loved the concept and proceeded to download the first two.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Diunx on August 14, 2010, 10:48:09 PM: Also whats up with IV? it looks a lot worse than III and they got rid of a lot of features and shit, whats that game done by a different team or something?

and its nice that the main characters in III actually speak, one of my biggest problems with the series is how this mute kids somehow become leaders of an revolutionary army :lol, in this game the characters at least have some personality.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Himu on August 14, 2010, 10:55:55 PM: Actually 4 looks better than 3. The character designs are worse, but in terms of detail it's lots better.

As for the features, yeah it was done by a different team. There are two Suiko teams. 4 was headed by a new team and a new director. When it came out, there was a big 3 backlash by a lot of 1 and 2 fans, so the makers of 4 tried to go back to Suikoden's "roots", and ended up fucking up everything.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Arbys Roast Beef Sandwich on August 15, 2010, 12:01:40 AM: The hero in IV looks so fucking stupid and runs like he has a stick up his ass.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Diunx on August 15, 2010, 12:03:25 AM: :lol his annoying running was the first thing I noticed about the game.

Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Enl on August 15, 2010, 03:07:01 AM: The only thing I really liked about IV was that it was in widescreen and progressive scan which was incredibly rare for console rpgs back in that day. The game's locales looked really good at times (character designs were forgettable though). Other than that it's a slow plodding mess. I and II are obviously good, and I really enjoyed III as well but I still need to go back and finish the game with the other characters. Sadly I have still yet to purchase and play V. I should go on a gamestop run and see if I can still find a copy.

:wtf
oh come on! they look the same!

both games use 2D graphics so they pretty much look like a really late SNES game,the artwork was made by different artist so the character art in the first one looks somewhat rugged where in the second one is more animu looking

Oh shut the fuck up. No they don't Suikoden II has better animation, better looking sprites and has a better color pallete.

Rugged is not a good description for Suiko 1 portraits. Pixelated and muddy is. The art itself is good, but the portraits are awful in game.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: MCD on August 15, 2010, 02:51:51 PM: Suikoden 1 has Tir fucking McDohl as the protagonist plus BLUE LIGHTNING FLIK and VIKTOR THE BEAR as his loyal ~~bodyguards~~ bros.

Suikoden 2 has...some kid and his sister.

Suikoden, not Aeris dying that is. Aeris dying is definitely a spoiler to end all spoilers in videogames.

Post by: demi on August 15, 2010, 03:09:33 PM: I hate that to get the best ending you have to do trivial obtuse things to recruit everybody. Turns me off completely. I've only ever finished Suiko 1. I remember having to grind just to beat the 1 on 1 fight that you have to win to save the one guy (the butler?) when he tries to sacrifice himself.

I always thought you were ok with using walkthroughs since you use achievement guides for 1000ing games.

If so, just play with a walkthrough. Then you don't miss anything and get all the stars.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: demi on August 15, 2010, 03:36:22 PM: I don't actually like using guides for an initial play - achievement guides are for cleanup. But I prefer to go for the best ending, and the requirements for Suikoden are a complete turnoff.

actualy i was being ironic :lol
i think the game is awfull,boring dungeons,character who looks like deformed midgets,boring generic plot (this should count twice since it's suikoden),battle's that last forever
i think i lost it when i discovered there is an accesory that makes your character run faster,the catch? IT'S IN A DUNGEON FULL OF DEAD ENDS WHERE EACH ROAD LOOKS THE SAME! if they realized the character move too slow then why they didn't simply made him faster instead of hiding an accesory that makes you run faster in a random dead end? >:( >:( >:( >:(

I stopped when you first got to play as the little kid... got a bit sick of backtracking, was about 10 or so hours into it. Playing Rudra's Treasure and its similar split scenario system makes me want to tackle this again some day.

Post by: Hitler Stole My Potato on August 17, 2010, 01:41:20 PM: Suikoden III is one of those rare JRPGs where I actually enjoyed the story. I think I could probably count those games on one hand and still have a couple of digits left over.

Loved the idea of playing 3 different characters simultaneously with their own perspectives of the overall story. Good stuff.

Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Diunx on August 25, 2010, 05:26:32 PM: Yeah, it was a little boring tbh but luckily it was pretty short, its there a big difference between the endings of each of the characters? I finished whit Geddoe and it took me like 76 hours so I'm not really feeling like replaying the last two chapters again but I'm curious about the other endings.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: MCD on August 25, 2010, 05:31:49 PM: Luc ending is the only interesting one.

And you should have went with Hugo, the real flame champion.

Post by: Himu on August 25, 2010, 06:30:48 PM: Main character endings are disappointing. It's like, okay Aila we'll let you join us and we can have some soda on the way! And uh...Zexen and Grasslands won't be enemies but we won't be allies lol.

Luc ending was the shit.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden III
Post by: Diunx on August 25, 2010, 07:52:15 PM: Yeah the Luc ending was great, even though I found the whole chapter boring it was still really interesting seeing all the events in the game from the villain perspective, more jrpgs should try stuff like that.

Post by: Diunx on August 29, 2010, 06:33:30 PM: Started playing V, I'm only 1 hour into the game so I can't judge it yet, but the game seems like it was programed by a group of distinguished mentally-challenged monkeys, fucking "now loading" screens every time you enter a room, the map to battle transition is really slow and even the menu feels like a step back from III.

Also the main character looks like a fucking cigarillo.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden V

Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden V
Post by: Himu on August 29, 2010, 07:59:44 PM: It would have been better if they had a black screen instead of now loading. You get used to it, unfortunately.

Playing with hd loader?

The game itself is fantastic. Many consider it almost on par with 2, though I don't agree, it's ALMOST there. The problem being the technical issues, polish, and graphics.

But honestly, keep at it. It gets better and better. It has a slow intro, about 7-8 hours long, but once you're done with that, it's uphil from there. I still loved the intro, though. Lots of juicy character development.
Title: Re: I'm playing Suikoden V
