FREEEEEEEEEEDOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMM
OWNING ONLY A NINTENDO CONSOLE
NEVER AGAIN!
(http://i194.photobucket.com/albums/z2/teasels/american-eagle-wallpaper-800x600.jpg?t=1293582143)
the guy who sold me the 360 also gave me some game tough there is a definite lack of japafagness,something which i'm going to correct ASAP (possibly starting from FF13 just to see if it's as bad as people say...) of all the title he gave me,i've tried only batman AA and i don't really understand why all the big fuss... jumping from a wii,it looks reaaaaaaaaaaalllyyyy pretty but other than that it really doesn't have much going for it other than a button mashy combat and "grab the ledge" jumping sequence which basicaly makes it identicaly to every other 3D action game ever made
gonna try prototype next
-
Congrats.
B:AA is an amazing game, it's the atmosphere that really makes it.
-
Before I read any of that
Do you have HD y/n
This will determine if I laugh at Borys
-
get deadly premonition, the shitty controls should be right up your alley
-
i cant wait for magus impressions... "what's the big fuss" lol

HUAHUAHUAHAUHAUHA Borys :lol
-
ok for real. you gotta start playing some real games for sure.
-
You only had a Wii? I also thought you had an HD system, since you were always trolling the Wii.
-
Batman is amazing. It even has stats to level up.

i just tought that getting the cheapest and most popular console would do the trick... i mean it worked for the ps2 :duh besides it's not like the first wii years were that bad... it had twilight princess,the original galaxy,the occasional 3rd party game like chocobo dungeon or zack & wiki
VESPERIA :bow :bow
probably after final fantasy 13,lost odyssey and resonance of fate
-
:lol You dont deserve those games.
For you, you get Star Ocean 4... and Eternal Sonata
-
:bow :bow Lost Odyssey
-
:lol You dont deserve those games.

:'(
you know one thing i forgot to add is that this thing is LOUD,i haven't heard something making such a rukus since the time i had a old 486
-
that's the sound power makes, son
-
:bow :bow Resonance of Fate
magus is a man of fine taste.
also get Nier
-
Oh shit you get Agarest of War as well.
See it's not so bad. There's still pathetically embarassing games to play!
-
Get mgs4! oh wait that game is not on xlol 360 :rofl
-
Yeah, it's on Youtube.
-
Yeah, it's on Youtube.
Eviscerated
-
Classic xbot defense, don't worry guys someday the ps3 will be $99 and you might be able to get one and play the game of the generation.
-
Yeah, it's on Youtube.
Annihilated
on topic: congrats dude on jumping into HD.
i'm still too poor :(
-
Classic xbot defense, don't worry guys someday the ps3 will be $99 and you might be able to get one and play the game of the generation.
Is that when you can finally afford one? :rofl
Dont even address me...

Even then I will probably get a used one for like $70 I have no rush since I'm already playing all the good games for free :smug

I start laughing every time I read this. Straight ether. :lol

Icon MCD pls
-
Yeah, it's on Youtube.
:lol
-
Lost Odyssey is the closest thing to FF6 we'll ever see again.
-
prototype is actualy..... kind of cool? a sandbox game? that's a surprise for sure,i guess when you are flying around,grabbing people and doing shit instead of dodging tree that appears out of nowhere these kind of game can actualy work
-
should have gotten crackdown instead - cheaper, better game, catching orbs will appeal to any nintendo collectathon mentality you might have
-
What do you do in Prototype? Does it have more focus than Crackdown?
Crackdown is boring in single play. There is no directive.
-
:lol You dont deserve those games.

you know one thing i forgot to add is that this thing is LOUD,i haven't heard something making such a rukus since the time i had a old 486
Did you install game?DVD buzz will be gone

Crackdown is boring in single play. There is no directive.
You destroy everything,think of Hulk
-
sounds better than crackdown on sp
-
Crackdown was fun in SP,once i upgraded jumping ability...before that it was meh
Got bored of Prototype very early,maybe i wasn't in the mood for destroying...cool abilities though,some nice ideas
Crackdown...jumping,collecting orbs
Prototype...go(run,jump,fly,drive) somewhere and literally annihilate everything around you
This is Prototype

that youtube description says....
It's like your Venom on steroids
actualy it's a pretty fitty description
-
Diunx doesn't even own a current gen console :teehee
-
Should've bought a Ps3.
But X360 is a good option too, I guess. Especially if you're a pirate.
-
Lost Odyssey is the closest thing to FF6 we'll ever see again.
I dont recall FF6 having a totally bland villian, slowpaced battle system or a story about immortals, who are infact not immortals :lol
-
LO is better anyway.
-
Classic xbot defense, don't worry guys someday the ps3 will be $99 and you might be able to get one and play the game of the generation.
Game of the generation or the only game you've played from this generation?

LO is not even better than Vesperia.

:bow Resonance of Fate :bow2
Get Breath of Death VII on XBLA Indies too. It's an oldskool DQ clone starring undead characters and it's only $1. It's "Sequel" just came out today, Cthulu Saves The World, and it's fucking AMAZING.
-
i have no intention to go online since the console is modded so no indie....
anyway prototype is the funniest shit i've played in a while... i gained the ability to steal helicopters so now i go around jumping like a cricket,jump kicking helicopter and stealing them,then i used a helicopter to breach into a base but i got shot down,which is good because i really didn't want to destroy the base so instead i infiltrated it,then after raising a ruckus i used a technique where you can grab a soldier and accuse him of being you,the poor fella got shot down and i walked outside the base while humming
this penny-arcade comic quite sums up my feeling

Get your facts straight you pc nerdling, SantaC and Magus are the self hating nintards on this forum. I'm not trying to impress any of you, so therefore I like my wii very much.

O god. Enjoy, it has some legitimately good moments.

Magus gets a new console right when evilbore is about to get shitbinned too! We won't get to hear him feign disinterest over the hd catalogue.

Damn, the end of the year and one last annihilation. Diunx found in 2012, still watching the intro cutscene to MGS4.
Fixed.
-
oh god the love story in this game is so cringe worthy :lol
i don't mind the character much but combat has been terrible... it feels like the game does everything for me and i just go "sure game go ahead!" by mashing A,the crystarium system seems pretty much like a lame-o version of the sphere grid,i don't like how you have to unlock it as you play,snow is already all filled out... and uh when do i get to use these material for something? for now they are just sitting in my inventory and it's starting to annoy me.... or am i supposed to sell these for money since it seems monster don't drop any?
-
Yeah you have to sell them if you want money,i think...forgot almost everything about this game
Combat is very easy first few hours,but then it kinda ramps up(you have to occasionally press some extra button,lol)
-
there is one thing i don't understand... attacker keeps the chain going and wizard make the chain increase quickly,assuming there is an enemy with a really short bar,can't i just make a team of 3 wizard and go to town or heck use 1 attacker and 2 wizard and then switch to 3 wizard?
also should i worry about 5-star every boss fight?
-

wizard makes the chain go up fast but also down fast. you need an attaker to slow down its decrease between turns or while healing. if theyre really weak tho then yeah you can use all wizards. and fuck five stars; doesn't matter.
-
and hold on to the items because youll use them for gamings worst upgrading system ever

you use the materials to upgrade your weapons.
it is the most obtuse and mundane weapon upgrade system i have ever fucking seen.
snow and vanille don't annoy you?
and yes, keep your items till like chapter 10 or 11.

five stars drops better loot but it rarely ever matters till you start doing marks.
and you got it. when you can make your own party, two magicians (ravager) and one attacker (forgot what the fuck it's called in game) is usually enough to decimate any enemy.

I don't think so,never cared about stars though
You can make a team of three wizards,but the bar will go fast down then.You need an attacker just to trigger the slow chain after that wizards will do the rest.
The problem is that later in the game you will need to heal,enemies will become stronger
Not sure how far you are but game will introduce something called "paradigm shift"...it will allow you to change "jobs,roles" on the fly...you can predetermine them in the menu
Powerful enemy
Enter as sentinel,healer,attacker
use them
paradigm shift
wizard,wizard,wizard
bar is gone...if enemy attacks are too powerful replace one wizard with a healer
paradigm shift
sentinel,healer,attacker
repeat
-
later battles are usually:
sentinel/saboteur/synergist
paradigm shift
rav/rav/com
with a combination
of med/med/sen
-
snow and vanille don't annoy you?
snow not in the slighest,he kinda reminds me of laguna... vanille bothered me a little at the start when she wouldn't stop hugging the fuck out of everybody,what she is? a carebear?
i think the most cringeworth character are the NPC,MOMS ARE TOUGH! WE ARE NORA! FUCK YEA NORA! NORA NORA NORA! good thing they vanished into nothing
and yes, keep your items till like chapter 10 or 11.
does that mean that all my loot is for nothing until that late?
man that kinda sucks.....
-
fuck you. snow sucks.
HEROES NEVER DIE
-
yea that doesn't bother me at all,it's all done to fit the idea that he's a loud mouthed idiot and.... it works! there is a scene where he is all alone and he goes like "YOUR HERO IS COMING!" there is no other point to this other than to extabilish that
you know i feel the same way when people talk about the dreaded FFX laughing scene "omg it sounds so awkward!" that's because it's supposed to be! people just seems to love removing the whole context just so that they can go on raving about how it would be much better if the character were better written tough better written always seems to be "more like the game i :heart soooo much,matsuno :heart,bioware :heart"
if i had to pick a PC that bugs me it would be hope,the whole reason he exist is so that we can have drama,it's a shit that RPG like to pull off once in a while,kill an unimportant NPC so the PC can rave about it for a while for dramaaaaaaaaaa
luckily the game structure counter balance this so if you have 5 minute of hope dramaaaaaaaaa,the next 5 minute would be sazh being all "YO MAN I'M THE COMIC SIDEKICK WHO'S TOO OLD FOR THIS SHIT!"
-
Snow sucks though. FFX laughing scene was awkward on purpose but like, Snow sucks. Who goes around screaming YOUR HERO IS HERE outloud? God I hate that guy.
hope gets awesome BECAUSE of the drama though.
-
Snow rocks... get real
Hope is my waifu
-

You have to five star the final boss for an achievement. And I think there's something for five-starring the Cieth trials? Otherwise, its not a big deal for stars.
-
Yeah, it's on Youtube.
Damn, the end of the year and one last annihilation. Diunx found in 2012, still crying.
2012 might not be enough time. Iguessing more like

-
i don't understand this... from what i get,all i need to do to upgrade an item is sacrifice some of my materials but if it is that simple then why are there so many materials?
by the way i'm starting to like the battle system a little better,it's not very complicated but it keeps you on your toe's when fighting stuff that can kick your ass,which is more than what i can say about most rpg
oh by the way i just beated odin,that guy was a pain in the ass,while we are here someone wants to explain me the finicky of summons?
-
the upgrade system is kinda distinguished mentally-challenged, but IIRC, first you need to get your multiplier up to like 4x by using creature parts (since they give low exp but high multiplier), and then you load it up with mechanical parts (which give high exp but lower the multiplier). some parts are more useful than others. that's all there really is to it.
the battle system gets better once Lightning's main class switches from commando to ravager. when you're mainly playing a commando, you have like 3 attacks. and you play a commando for like 15 hours. :-\
it's pretty fun though once you have a full team and everyone has access to their two or three primary classes. it's easily one of my favorite FF battle systems.
the battles against the summons are probably the toughest in the main story. i don't really remember much about them though. i don't remember much about FF13 in general actually. all i DO know is that Sunleth Waterscape is the best song ever
-
Summon fights are like these fights where you have to figure out their weak point before they kill you.
You use summons by summoning them if you have the ap. iirc you can only use one summon a battle, I don't fucking remember. you use a bunch of random attacks and then finish off with a lame special attack.
also, chapter 4 sucks. Have fun on chapter 5, it's almost as bad. Chapter 6-9 are pretty good.
-
i'm on chapter 7 and i don't see the difference you say... if anything playing team sazh-vanille is a little annoying because it's pretty clear none of the two is suited for physical attacks which make random battle a pain in the ass....
oh by the way i leaved a chest behind a supermonster in chapter 6... am i supposed to come later? was there a way to make the monster leave? did the chest have anything important?
-
No you can't go back
-
The only "missable" items are some items that you sell, that are required to make some accessories, afaik. These are found in chests when you get to the open area of Gran Pulse.
But chances are you arent gonna go for the "all items" achievement anyway, so I wouldnt worry about it.
-
i checked a faq and apparently that chest just had some material so i guess i didn't miss anything important....
anyway you know what's the thing i hate the most about this game? the theme song! that shit is worse than fuckin eyes on me,i don't know how they even managed to do that
-
You mean "My Hands" ? That song rox.
-
[youtube=560,345]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDfqCNgeHTU[/youtube]
this shit here,it feels like my ear's are being stabbed by tiny angsty teenagers! >:(
-
hahahahaha. thats not the theme song afaik. but yeah you hear that a lot.
needs more snow theme.
-
Sunleth Waterscape is the ultimate evolution of Serah's theme
-
hahahahaha. thats not the theme song afaik. but yeah you hear that a lot.
needs more snow theme.
i tought it was the theme song since it's get played even on the title screen
anyway i really like snow as a character,in fact i think he fits more than lightining... people says "final fantasy need better written character!" but never explains exactly what this entitles ???
EDIT :omg HD CHOCOBO,THEY LOOK SO FLUFFY AND TASTY
-
prototype is actualy..... kind of cool? a sandbox game? that's a surprise for sure,i guess when you are flying around,grabbing people and doing shit instead of dodging tree that appears out of nowhere these kind of game can actualy work
Prototype is what the Hulk: Ultimate Destruction team made after that gem, so there was a lot of hope that it would be some godlike new IP. Sega, in making the HULK game to coincide with the movie launch apparently aped everything they could out of H:UD but didn't do it particularly well. Sega's HULK is OK, but falls short of greatness at every possible opportunity. It's sad, because it clearly is approaching doing a lot right, but is hamstrung and just can't quite make it.
What little I've played of PROTOTYPE feels like Sega's HULK, but done much better. As such, I've set it aside until I could really absorb it. Um, no pun intended.
-
i think i'm getting near the end of chapter 9... i swear whoever decided to make a random encounter with 3 heavy artillery needs to get punched in the dick! it takes 5 minute to take them down
5 WHOLE FREAKIN MINUTE FOR A RANDOM ENCOUNTER
but anyway i was thinking of getting katamari,just for a quick bost to my japafagness list of games,how does it compare to the first 2 on ps2?
-
hurry up and get last remnant, play a super amazing awesome game.
-
eeeeehhhh on my "list of jrpg to play" that's really quite low and beside isn't that a kawazu game? i don't trust kawazu game,they always seems to be perfectly designed to piss off player
-
its the fucking best game ever magus, why would you say no to what i recommend. i'll gut you
i think FF2 and Romancing Saga are garbage. this game is amazing. GOD DAMNIT MAGUS
-
alright fine fine it will come after FF13,lost odyssey and revenant of fate :lol
-
Last Remnant is amazing,true next gen jrpg
No jprg has captivated me like Last Remnant,easily 100+ hours,so addicting
Have to replay it soon
play it magus
-
If maxy bought games, his collection would be a grand total of ONE because of this game
-
Actually i have like 6 original 360 games,all bought before the first rrod(one year) and about 20 PC ones
-
But if he DID buy those games, rather tha nreceive them as gifts, he would have a grand total of ONE - Last Remnant
-
hmm :)
The Last Remnant :bow2
-
alright fine fine it will come after FF13,lost odyssey and revenant of fate :lol
well Resonance of Fate, Nier, and Vesperia are better than TLR. I'd probably put TLR above Lost Odyssey and Blue Dragon tho.
