Heard good stuff about it, tried it, didn't get into it. $:-\$

MCD · « **Reply #2 on:** June 19, 2008, 02:03:33 AM »

which is why i tried it, tri-ace and all that but it was absolutely horrible.

Positive Touch · « **Reply #3 on:** June 19, 2008, 02:04:03 AM »

thought it was okay, but I don't understand how some people say it's the best RPG (or GAME) they've ever played. gameplay's fun, but it gets old fast. also the whole OMG SIDE-SCROLLING thing doesn't matter because the platforming and controls blow. oh and the story is total shit - boring and occasionally incomprehensible. and the music sucks. I've tried to play through this game four times, and no luck yet.

sorry people, tri-ace blows, sad but true

VP1 is good.

VP2 is way way way better.

i can't get over how distinguished mentally-challenged the cities are, only 2d?

is this really tri-ace?

Eric P · « **Reply #8 on:** June 19, 2008, 02:07:02 AM »

yeah i didn't get the hype

i think it was the scarcity of the game plus the internet hype made VP out to be this great uber game.

sadly, people are radically mistaken

however, i still have love for tri-ace

Star Ocean 2, bitches

Positive Touch · « **Reply #9 on:** June 19, 2008, 02:10:09 AM »

yeah star ocean 2 was great. amazing ai that really helped out in battle, an awesome crafting system that always made useful items, a compelling story with well-translated and intresting scenes, and FUN CITY

MCD · « **Reply #10 on:** June 19, 2008, 02:13:35 AM »

star ocean 2 is a gem.

this though is a fucking turd.

VALKYRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE, YOU HAVE 8 CHAPTERS, BRING ME WARRIORS PLZOKTHXBAI

press start to search, watch characters die, press start to search, grind AND OH THESE WEAPONS BELONG TO ODIN SORRY LOL.

MCD · « **Reply #11 on:** June 19, 2008, 03:03:22 AM »

and to add to the insult, you need to read guides just to get the best ending.

what a POS.

Smooth Groove · « **Reply #12 on:** June 19, 2008, 03:50:52 AM »

Yeah, it was a pretty boring game. I played for 30 mins or so but I thought it was just me.

MCD · « **Reply #13 on:** June 19, 2008, 03:51:15 AM »

core gameplay is still garbage.

demi was right.

The Sceneman · « **Reply #14 on:** June 19, 2008, 04:20:53 AM »

Its an awesome game, Im playing it now

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #15 on:** June 19, 2008, 07:00:02 AM »

Could not get into the game at all. The gameplay was pretty standard stuff, and as someone already mentioned it was hard to navigate. I made it through the first dungeon, but I won't ever play it again.

tiesto · « **Reply #16 on:** June 19, 2008, 08:08:50 AM »

You people suck, VP1 is better than VP2 and one of the best games ever made... awesome fast paced combat, awesome dungeons, crazy challenge level (even if it has that tri-Ace problem of steep difficulty spikes every so often), and I liked the music too. The story can be pretty incomprehensible, and the requirements for the best ending are ridiculous, I'll give you that. But saying it's "pretty standard stuff", huh

MCD · « **Reply #17 on:** June 19, 2008, 08:22:53 AM »

shut up tiesto.

MoxManiac · « **Reply #18 on:** June 19, 2008, 10:03:37 AM »

VP1 is my favorite RPG of all time, and the only RPG i've completed 7+ times. So good.

I said that the gameplay is pretty standard JRPG fare, with some 2d platforming. The combat system is essentially the same as all other turn-based RPGs. Did I miss something?

*oops: I forgot to add that you can combo

MCD · « **Reply #20 on:** June 19, 2008, 10:12:44 AM »

what i hate is the 2d bullshit, especially with the 2nd game.

ugly shit.

Human Snorenado · « **Reply #21 on:** June 19, 2008, 10:59:12 AM »

VP2 is pretty awesome, the original is pretty good but gets more hype than it should due to scarcity and rabid fanboyism. Kind of like Panzer Dragoon Saga.

Also, McDragon is a turd.

MCD · « **Reply #22 on:** June 19, 2008, 11:02:20 AM »

Why don't you go pour some bleach in your ass or something?

absolutely disgusting.

Rman · « **Reply #25 on:** June 19, 2008, 11:23:47 AM »

I think most of the frustration comes from its esoteric design. It's not a conventional JPRG at all and I had to read some faqs to even understand some of the basic systems. When everything became clear I enjoyed it much more. It's a slow burn, though.

muckhole · « **Reply #26 on:** June 19, 2008, 11:55:17 AM »

Here I thought it was just me. The game looks nice enough, but I couldn't get into it despite repeated tries. It's been sitting in the backlog pile forever.

actually, that would really sanitize your ass.

VP1 is alright. I've never made it to the end though. At some point, I found I was spending more time distributing the million different types of points you earn than actually playing, so I quit. Also, the best ending run is SHIT.

I really like the battle system and dungeons though.

I think I've just made a connection. Is your name, "The Card Cheat" based off of The Clash song by the same name?

TVC15 · « **Reply #29 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:37:06 PM »

I tried to like VP1, but I hated that you could screw up your game by doing things wrong, and that the only way to get the best ending was to use an FAQ since you had to do illogical things to get it. Also, playing the game at the pace required to get the good endings required you to constantly push forward, fighting tough monsters, and if you didn't have the right gear you'd be fucked.

I'm probably a pansy gamer, but I like VP2 much more if only because it lets me play at my own pace without fear or getting a "bad" ending.

MCD · « **Reply #30 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:39:51 PM »

VP2 graphics is shite though it does feel better gameplay-wise.

TVC15 · « **Reply #31 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:40:55 PM »

I think VP2 looks rather nice most of the time. Some of the textures are very shimmery, though.

MCD · « **Reply #32 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:42:20 PM »

cutscenes are pretty horrible and i don't find 2.5d impressive for an rpg title.
