It gets better--

Day 1 DLC that gives you EXP increasing armor

and another day 1 pack that gives you a map where enemies give you exp increasing drops and you can recruit a palette swapped demon.

Finally, they're promoting 2x EXP codes on cans of mountain dew and bags of doritos!

I am so terrible at turn based RPGs. Every single map in Fire Emblem I end up restarting at least twice because I put someone in a stupid position and they die. Fucking hell.

I wouldn't really stress it. You get zillions of characters in Fire Emblem, many are replacable.

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!

[magus]

finished rorona with the bestest ending,i really wanted to platinum this but doing so requires getting all the endings,there are 7 character endings,4 generic ending and 3 special endings for a total of 14 endings,everytime you finish the game you have to watch the ending sequence as a whole (whose first part is always the same) including the credit... the credit alone last 5 minutes so you have to waste like a whole hour and half watching the same sequence over and over...

then there is the fact that the ending you get depends on whoever is your best buddy so to control which ending you get, you have to purposely piss the person of the endings you already got, adding more time to the ordeal,some of the misc achievement are a pain in the ass too,there is one that requires you to kill every monster in the game but some of them appear only when the game want, so a lot of reloading is involved

anyway at the end of the day it's a neat game,the first time i played it i hated the fetch quest nature of the game... most cutscene won't happen unless you run fetch quest for your party member and you can't get the bestest ending unless you run A TONS of random fetch quest for the population,the plot also require you to fetch specific items too... this would make for an horrible game but there is an easy way to copy your items (which in turn makes progress in this game EXTREMELY easy,you don't even need to bother with a good chunk of the dungeons) and you have a small amount of control about what item get requested so once you get the hang out of it,it's pretty easy to cheese the system and be done with it,still you spend so much time bringing 3 cakes to one of your party member so he can finaly become your buddy that it can get annoying...

battles in this game are also totaly screwed up,after the first half of the game you get an item that deal so much damage that it kills even the super optional boss in 2 hits,of course you could opt to not use the item at all but the system is just as standard turn based as it can be and there are other way to cheese it,you can make potion that automaticaly fully heal you everytime you take any sort of damage,and there is an item that double your def basicaly making you immune to most attack

so thinking it with a straight head it would be a bad game,but i really digged the character,music and animu feeling of the game which at the end of the day are the sort of stuff i care when i play an rpg anyway,rorona itself is an amazing main character,she's funny without resorting to cheap jokes and all around likeable with her happy-go-lucky attitude,i'm happy to know she has a role in both sequel's! by comparison ayesha feels a little like a dumb bimbo at times... the game never degrade into cheap drama too,there is no big evil at the end,in fact there isn't even a final boss! i think the most amazing thing in this games is that the MC has parent which are alive and do not have any sort of relevance into the plot,they don't die,they don't turn into monsters,they don't get kidnapped... they just are there to add more character,compare that to tales of graces FATHERISDEAD

anyway at this point i have no reason to not play totori next,it will be like i'm a psvita owner

Still playing Order of Ecclesia, still wanting to cry from how bland and thoughtless the areas are.

 A lot of pieces that go towards making a good castlevania exist here, they just needed to be fit together better! Right now I'm just going from point A to B, with minimal jumping (hello forest that feels it needs to exist for some reason). I just killed the crab boss in the Lighthouse, and while it was a fun fight, the entire area was almost literally made up of the fight's location. Now I gained access to the underwater section and it's one simplistic room design copypasted all over the map. Ugh.

Even the Glyph system is not fully delivering-- it's good in theory, supposedly there to offer a variety of strategies. But since I'm locked into these small areas with limited monsters, I only have very few options (glyph-strategy-wise) when facing bosses, at least so far. In other words, boss fights' scenarios have predetermined outcomes (limited glyphs) including player stats (little potential for grinding, not that lvls matter much here).

Yeah, playing this again made me seriously reevaluate my impressions of this game. Though I still hope it gets better and starts picking up.

i don't think any amount of boobs could save that,if anything i have no idea how they got to 3

anyway i think i must have pissed the god of irony with that comment about rorona parent because totori plot is that her mother is missing and the first hour of the game is "i want to become an adventure and go search mom " "I DON'T WANNA! WHAT IF YOU GET LOST TOO? " it doesn't help that the game puts you into a small box and then expect you to just dick around with no carrot of any sort for the first 1-2 hour with a huge stretch of nothing happens... thankfull after you are done with the super boring prologue the game opens up and give you full dick around ability,you get a list of task (explore this place,create this item,go murder 20 of this kind of monster) and each task you do score you adventurer points which in turn improve your rank and gives you the ability to explore more zone...

the really neat part of the game is seeing all the characters from the previous game all grow up,sterk in particular seems like he had a really bad encounter with nomura and now looks like squall lost brother,compare




by the way the art seems somewhat off... it's hard for me to explain but it just doesn't have the same elegance of the first game,some character have a more animu look (totori) and some other character instead try to have more realistic proportion (totori pal,totori sister) and it just doesn't feel right...

[Himu]

Last CV I thoroughly enjoyed all the way was Aria of Sorrow and to a lesser extent Dawn of Sorrow. Portrait has its moments but is highly flawed and Ecclesia...I didn't even bother beating it despite getting to the end of the game. It's worse than HoD.

Played through the PSN release of Shadow of the Colossus. Haven't played the PS2 game since it released so I don't know how it compares (framerate is better at least!), but jesus if the bosses aren't obnoxious as fuck - and there isn't a whole lot to the game outside of the bosses!

Did they really shake you as much in the original game or have they amended it for the re-release? It was never particularly challenging, you hardly ever get hit and when you do your health regen have more or less negated the effects by the time you get hit again. But It's super frustrating to climb onto one of these motherfuckers and hang there, being shaken to all hell, every stab attempt interrupted by some more fucking shaking.

I like all the bits where you aren't being shaken like a wet rag trying to stab dudes. Wish the stabbing bit was better, or at the very least non-offensive.

I think they made it so the bosses shake you around much more in the PS3 version. I remember a few bosses (especially towards the end of the game) being real pains in the ass because of this.

I'm not sure if Alundra is just janky or genius because of how they use/misuse perspective limitations and such to make jumping puzzles difficult. You have to have perfect execution to make the jumps and hit timed switches on top of that. It'd be perfect if you wouldn't get snagged on corners so much and if the environments where more readable. Because I find myself second-guessing whether I can make a jump or not just because I can't tell where I am in relation, or how high a platform is. I'm undecided whether that's better than top-down 2D Zelda's nigh on faultless controls or not, but I do now know understand why there are no jumping puzzles in LttP.
The last boss I fought (in Gile's nightmare) also had insane amounts of health, despite being really easy to beat. I guess that's Working Designs' fault, huh?

[Don Flamenco]

got my Crack Down cart in today. It's an isometric stealth action/espionage game where you sneak around and plant bombs while taking fools out.  Basically, Metal Gear if it were an arcade game with music by Yuzo Koshiro.  More genius Genesis shit that's been all but forgotten.

Whole lotta PSO2 JP goin' on here. Hit level 60 with the ranger class and am in process of getting gunner to the cap. Nearly 56 with that one. So only some 5 milish exp to go!

[brob]

Played through ICO today since I was already rolling around in the sony art-game pig bin. While the controls are worse than SotC I felt more in control because the game doesn't really ask you to be particularly nimble fingered, it sometimes gets a bit picky about where you get to stand in order to do certain actions, but there isn't any punishment for fucking up. I also don't see all the fuss about the fighting in this game, it's very simplistic and very easy. It feels more like the game has enemies just to keep you from abandoning the girl. Very pretty game, in a very raw lo-fi fashion - the characters especially looked nice I thought. The game wasn't all that interesting beyond the aesthetic though, simple puzzles and platforming where the only threat is the camera. 

I think they made it so the bosses shake you around much more in the PS3 version. I remember a few bosses (especially towards the end of the game) being real pains in the ass because of this.

aye, I read some opinions from players who did the whole time trial stuff saying that some of them were straight up not possible without glitching (hard time trial #3, to be specific). I find it a bit strange they would mess with the game in this regard since outside of the frame-rate being stable, they haven't really done jack shit to it. There is still insane pop-in and the horse is as dumb as ever.

[magus]

been playing more totori... i can kinda see why this is the highest ranked atelier games on metacritic... basicaly there is no plot and it's all dicking around,like this game was a loli,a big empty plain and a lame mmo-like system away from being A MASTERPIECE!

it's not bad because there are a lot of zone's to explore and actualy this is the first atelier game where i actualy have to give a fuck about combat (rorona combat was broken and in ayesha you didn't do any serious fighting before the end of the game at which point you already had all the tool to destroy everything) but it feels a little barebone...

i'm really happy i've decided to play rorona properly first because 75% of the enjoyement i'm getting out of the game is when character from the previous game appear or get mentioned,i just got rorona into party and every cutscene involving her has been so the game should have been renamed into "atelier rorona and her woobie assistant who nobody cares about" most of the new character introduced are just sort of boring... mimi is fine even tough it's basicaly a repeat of cordelia (she's also sort of stupidly dressed) the only character that really stands out is esty sister

[Rufus]

Wow, Alundra is seriously tempting me to save-state through it. Holy shit at these jumping puzzles.

I'm powering through, but god damn this game. If they would at least reset the damned switches and such automatically it'd be more bearable, instead you have to leave the rooms and re-enter to do it manually, argh.

also out of curiosity i found a guy who played trough all 3 of neptunia games (brass balls! i tell ya) and he mentioned something about a super depressing ending,turns out there is one ending where you get to murder all the loli's,thus creating a one console/loli future... somehow i find this hilarious

unlike rorona where you have 3 in game years to finish the game,totori gives you 6 years,as i said in the first 3 year you have to become a super adventurer by dicking around and collecting point,you get point by exploring new area as they open up,making new items and defeating enemies,the problem is that year 2 has still to end and i've already reached the max avaiable rank,so now i have literaly several hours of nothing to do other than to prepare for future event like leveling up and collecting more point (because apparently you open new rank's after the first 3 year and therefore needs the extra point) so it's really just sort of boring,it kinda reminds me how persona 3 character would always go about "WAITING FOR THE NEXT FULL MOON" and you had to sit twiddling your finger

which saddens me because the game is great when stuff happen,watch this amusing bit of continuity

[archnemesis]

Don't you have more places to explore and more items to synthesize? I never had much extra time to spare when I played it.

of course i do but it feels pointless to accumulate point if they don't count toward anything at the moment... not to mention i'd rather have an actual objective than this sandboxy way of playing,in ayesha it never felt like there was a dead moment because you always had the carrot of the plot to chase but at the moment in totori until year 3 passes there is no carrot

[archnemesis]

Totori was the first Atelier game I played and I wasted a lot of time since I hadn't figured out how to abuse the register item system yet. When the game finally ended after 5 or 6 years I still had plenty of things left unfinished. If I ever decide to pick up the Vita version I'll try to unlock the true ending.

how long did it take for you to reach diamond rank? i mainly focused on doing every item avaiable and as many quest as possible so truth to be told my character kinda suck at combat,but of course training them is at least going to fill some time slot

I know every publisher has these great dreams about how their multiplayer is going to keep going and going, and it'll be the next thing to stay in the XBL top ten for a year and magic pony blowjobs, but I HATE MULTIPLAYER ACHIEVEMENTS. I just walked away from several of them in Tomb Raider, which has okay/meh multiplayer, and was largely vacant a month after release.

Maybe the idea is, if a gamer is savvy enough to know that the MP will be dead early on, they're more likely to buy at full price and rush through the MP first.

It still doesn't excuse or explain how 4-person multiplayer game take 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th in a 10 player game is a good idea. I mean, yeah, I get "hardcore 'cheevo," but go away, Sega. You're not making any friends.

I have got to wrap up Alice: Madness Returns. I continue to realize just how bad it is to force artists to be level designers, just how uninspired the traversal elements are in this game.

This run was pretty awful to be honest. I died on the 1-4 boss, broke my chain in 1-5, and I think I died twice in 2-2... I paused the game and was just about to restart (side note: pausing prevents you from saving your replay ), but I decided to keep playing just to get some more practice in. I thought the run was hopeless, but pretty much everything went perfectly, and once I reached Hibachi with 3 lives I realized I actually had a chance. I've cleared the second loop on MAME a bunch of times when starting from 2-1 (or earlier), but this was my first legit 2-ALL from start to finish. Just in time for SDOJ.

Yup. DDS2 gets to work around after or during the Egg Facility. It's been years since I've played, but all I can suggest right now is smart use of the grid but I see you've already found that out.

DDS2 has the better gameplay by a long shot. But I prefer DDS1's story and dungeons. The castle dungeon in DDS1 is probably the coolest dungeon of the ps2 SMT's (to me at least).

  I'll be surprised if anybody ever defeats Inbachi. Maybe the top players will be able to come up with some strategies if you can practice the fight in the port (which I really doubt Cave will allow, and I don't think those guys even have consoles), but she looks completely impossible to me.

I bet Cave toned her way down in Ver 1.5. It'll probably be a while before anybody triggers the fight and posts it online tho.

[magus]

this is F2P and has been into closed beta for a while,i registered for beta application like 6 month ago and today i got a beta key,it basicaly plays like alternate heroquest,you have 3 classes (cleric,warrior and wizard) and each class can be of any of 3 races (dwarf,human or elf) cleric heals,warrior hit stuff from close and are hard to damage and wizard hit stuff from a-far and have other misc trick,races are simplier! dwarf have the most hp but are the most slow and elves are the most squishy but the quickest,human fall somewhere between...

at the start of each turn you draw 2 card from your deck and 1 movement card (so you don't end up dead in the water by always having a card that let you move,also this card is dependant on your race,squisher race = more movement) the interessing part is that your deck is dictated what is equipped on your character,each character has a bunch of slot (a level 5 warrior gets 3 slot for sword/maces,1 slot for armor,1 slot for shield,1 slot for shoes and 1 slot for warrior abilities for example) and each piece of equipment gives you 3 card (weapon give 6) so there is a lot of customization,need more movement? use a fencer stiletto since it comes with extra movement card,your wizard is using a lot of fire spells? use the pyromancy ability which gives you card that improve your ability to burn stuff,some equipment also comes with malus card... the vampire sword comes with card's that let you damage and heal at the same time but also comes with a malus card that damage you if you draw them while close to another party member

the game comes with 2 mode,there is a campaign mode where you fight mob and a multiplayer mode where you fight another party of 3 adventures controlled by another player (or the AI if there isn't an avaiable player) the campaign mode is basicaly a satire of D&D as you play rpg modules with a nerdy guy who plays the role of the dungeon master so there are a lot of "i've just seen this stupid monster on the monster manual" and "something something D12" like jokes,there is a decent different number of mob which act all different (one campaign has you fighting a wizard which loves to pile debuff for example) but some tend to drag a little as each campaign is made of a different number of battles and some of them require up to 4 battles... of course at the end of each battle comes loot and at the end of each campaign your character gets XP and level up thus opening more equipment slot and power spheres which are required when it comes to equipping high level stuff

in multiplayer each adventurer you get is automaticaly level 20something so there isn't any disparity in power between players,you also get a bunch of decent multiplayer only equipment as a way to kickstart you into multiplayer well before you get any sort of super rare loot,alas since the game is in closed beta finding another opponent is hard and truth to be told fighting another player it's kind of a pain... one nice idea they had is that multiplayer matches have a point system,each opponent character you kill is 2 points and if you control the center area of the map at the end of a turn you get another point,thus sparing the player many "who gets the first strike" problematic as is in your interest to reach the center of the map ASAP

of course there is a microtransaction component in the form of pizza,you use pizza to either gamble on chest (thus getting more powerfull equipment earlier than you should) buying figurines (giving a different look to your guys) or buying new campaign... the bought campaign also gives you rare loot upon finishing,which is kinda fishy if you ask me

i think having a F2P heroquest like game is an amazing thing but somehow i'm not having much fun,there isn't anything wrong with the game per-se but the campaign is sort of easy and toughtless... the AI isn't terrible but i've seen it doing some stupid stuff once in a while (best of all,murdering one of his own unit by using a card that buffed and damaged at the same time) and i don't really like the idea of fighting other player for multiplayer... i mean why not having a co-operative mode where multiple player takes on a scenario against mobs? that's what the whole point of these sort of games are in the first place right?

[mjemirzian]

Anyone serious about clearing Inbachi should re-create the shot patterns on a PC shot pattern making program (I know they exist) and practice those for 6-8 hours a day.
