What are you playing?

[Bebpo]

Got Ni no kuni and the box is certainly BIG and nice.  Bet the game sells a ton of copies just because of the packaging.  People will walk by and see this giant box for only about $10 more than some DS games and they'll think it's a steal.



Will let you guys know in a week or so if the game is another L5 rpg stinker like White Knight, Rogue Galaxy and (to some people, although I like it) Dark Cloud 2.

At least even if it sucks it'll have a soundtrack of all new Joe Hisaishi music to make up for it.

Or they'll just download it...

[demi]

You need the book to play the game apparently.

[Bebpo]

yeah it's the copy protection.  The game also has two separate screens at the start of the game that tell you it is ILLEGAL to play copies and you will GO TO JAIL and that if you play COPIES you'll lose your save file.

They're really pushing the anti-piracy with this one 


Otoh, having the lug the book around everywhere makes the game less portable and might hurt sales.  Dunno, we'll see.


I played about 30 mins so far.  Pretty nice.  Seems like a lot of budget went into this.  The best part is that they were smart on what was going to take the compression hits.  The fmvs have small amount of compression and look good like Layton 2/3.  The voices had medium compression and sound ok like Layton.  The sound effects have high compression and sound like shit, but they're sound effects so it's not really important.  But most of all, the music by Joe Hisaishi and the Philharmonic Orchestra has almost no compression at all and sounds GREAT.  Probably the best sound I've heard out of the DS in that department.  Which is nice because good music like that doesn't deserve to be compressed into shitty DS sound.

Anyhow no gameplay yet, so dunno how it plays but presentation is nice!

When is Ninokuni due for a US release? I deal with the moon language all day long at work and avoid it in all my games whenever possible.

[Bebpo]

Possibly never.

Depends on how serious L5 is about their new USA start up company.  It's a lot more likely they'll only bring out the PS3 game in the series since DS 3rd party software market is kind of on its way out in the US and they'd need to localize the 350 page book as well since it's required (which would also mean they'd have to sell it at $40-50 in the US).  Just a lot of stuff adds up to it being unlikely.  I mean Inazuma Eleven was an easy game to localize and yet 3-4 years later and the only English version is going to be a Euro version of the first game when Japan is about to get the 4th game in the series.  Layton is almost 2 games behind Japan as well (though with all the work Layton takes to localize that's more understandable).

Goldeneye Wii is pretty good.  I only played the first two levels, but I'm digging the slow/stealth pacing of it.  It feels like my favorite parts of CoD4/MW2.

Zettai Hero Project

I'm really enjoying this game.  Never has grinding through the same level over and over again been so fun.  I'm starting to like the "drop down to LV1" idea while increasing stats.  That way you can just mow over tough enemies.  The only downside is that I have two weapons equipped and it seems like finding something to eat can be a challenge.  I know there are some shops along the way but a couple of times I've started to starve.  My fault for lack of proper item management I suppose but that is a minor flaw.

I sent Red Dead Redemption back in.  I really tried to like the game but couldn't get into it.

[magus]

later on you get a facility that improve the effect of other facilities,max your wife and she can cook for you 9 times instead of 1 making food a trivial problem

anyway i reached chapter 4 of sakura wars were you meet the last member of the brigade,a crippled doctor girl that suffer from terminal illness who can see the life force of things (talk about overdoing drama ) that also loves birds,so birds are everywhere in this chapter and the whole plot of this chapter is about how SHE CAN'T,ESCAPE,HER FATE OF DEATH! and subaru also does the wackiest impression of hamlet ever done in a videogame also birds birds birds!

at a certain point you can take her to the black ghetto and if you do so,one of the NPC offer you fried chicken and she pass out because OH NOEZ BIRDZ!... i can't help but wonder if that was intentional or not......

Just take food into your dungeon runs.  I always started every run with about 1/2 my inventory full of meat.

[Himu]

Isnt ZHP that roguelike for the psp? I saw the sa thread for that it looked cool but it's nippon ichi so I'm skeptical.

[Bebpo]

It's a rogue but if you don't like Nippon Ichi srpgs you won't like it.

[magus]

what bebpo says,it's extremely easy to power-up a little and then steamroll the whole game and while that's what you do in any N1 game ever,here it's a little grating because it just doesn't go down as fast

in short,PLAY SHIREN!

[Himu]

What if I've already played Shiren?

What about that other rogue like for psp that came from n1?

[magus]

cladun? it's more of an action dungeon crawler than a roguelike... there is this really annoying system were you set up a party made of 1 main character and between 1 and 8 sub-character,the main character does all the dirty job and the sub-character act as meat shields and give the main character stat bonus...

the problem is that when the main character level up he gets stat that make for a good sub character,but when a sub-character level up he gets stat good for a main character,this is a pain in the ass because 1) if you want a good party you constantly have to switch 2) if you make a party of 8 sub-character,you now have 8 good main character and you really don't need that...

for being a dungeon crawler there is also very little loot,your character can equip a weapon (you can pick between a sword that does a 3-hit combo,an axe that can charge attack and a rod that shoots weak projectile) an armor and a shield andddd that's it,item have title to give them bonus but it doesn't make that much difference

other than that it's a decent game... most of the time is spent on the story dungeon which aren't random and usualy follows a thematic gimmick (fire dungeon where you catch fire,ice dungeon where you slip around) it's also not nearly as comedic as other N1 game ( zettai hero and his president brick oldllama )

if you are searching for a roguelike rather than a psp game why don't you try chocobo dungeon for the wii? it's a piss easy game but you are bound to love it just for the OST

[Himu]

did the west get chocobo's dungeon on ds?

[magus]

nope
there is a partial fan-translation if you are a dirty pirate tough....

..... but there is also a partial fan-translation for shiren 2 so.......

it's the same game as the wii one just downgraded and with some extra thrown in it like an extra job and a new mode where you control cid

[iconoclast]

Finally got the 1000/1000 on Naruto UNS2. The last, I dunno, 15 hours were a suuuuuper tedious grindfest of replaying every battle in the game, playing every character 30 times, and all that shit to get some stupid titles. The rest of the side missions were okay though. And even though the online play is incredibly broken and unbalanced, it was still pretty fun going for the 50 wins. So to quickly summarize the game: story mode is pretty good, the animation is godlike, the graphics are nice but needs AA badly, and playing against another person comes down to who can out-cheese who.

For the next Naruto game, I'd like to see CC2 make substitutions take actual timing, or at least make it so you can't just mash block like a tard and be invincible to everything. Awakenings need some balancing too. Susano'o is absolutely ridiculous, and Naruto's awakening isn't far behind. If they just work on that, it could be a pretty decent casual fighting game.

[cool breeze]

CC2's Naruto games have been like this for maybe 9+ games now.  I remember playing the third one on PS2 where Yondaime (Fourth hokage/minato/whatever they call it in the english games) was completely stupid broken powerful.  I'd be surprised if they start fixing their ways for the next game.

[magus]

i finished chapter 4 of sakura wars which apparently means i'm halfway done and again it really reminds me of persona... the concept of "talk with people" is interessing but the pacing is so slow and some event so dull that it makes for an "eeeehhhh......" game

i do like the battle part a lot tough,even if it's an easy game each battle has it's own interessing gimmick and the giant bosses really capture that rpg spectacularity that was somewhere lost during the ps2 era

Himuro - the only other roguelikes for DS that have been brought in america are izuna and pokemon mysterious dungeon,izuna is probably harder than pokemon but after a few level-up,it's too a piss easy game... it has some nice features and items so it's not a total horrible game but i wouldn't call it good either
for the aforementioned "get piss easy after a while" reason

pokemon mysterious dungeon is as easy it gets,there is the whole "pokemon learns new move after X level ups" and the whole strenght/weakness system but other than that it's as bland as it can gets... your pokemon can't evolve during the main plot and while you can recruit new pokemon in your team the chance are incredibly low and even after doing that,the new recruit won't be as awesome as the lv 30 pokemon that has been sticking with you since the beginning

so yea both games totaly misses the point of a roguelike (if you are never worried that you are going to die,it's just a boring dungeon crawler) making it somewhat hard for me to give them an OK

[tiesto]

Ys 7, thinking I'm getting pretty close to the end. Have 2 more dragons to kill. Amazing game, though the cutscenes can get a bit too drawn out and could have really used an editor.

[archie4208]

I'm doing a monk run in BG2 and waiting for the big Heroes of Newerth patch to hit so I can start grinding for unlockable skins.

[Himu]

i've heard good things about izuna.

[Corporal]

Oh man, I finally finished my Mass Effect 2 playthrough.

Very fun. When I wasn't getting stuck in various geometry, that is. Geez. Multiple times too, not just once or twice. What the hell. That's not where the tech issues stop though.

Rant-with-spoiler:

spoiler (click to show/hide)

The UE3 texture pop-in is still there, even with the HDD install. The horrible UE3 plastic shine is everywhere, and not always intentionally. The video sequence near the end was a stuttering, twitching mess. Conversations sometimes reveal ugly hacks to the ever-present HDR/bloom. Animations are at times goddamn awful. AND WHY IS THE GETH FLEXING ITS NONEXISTANT MUSCLES? Why the hell are all the humanoids twitching and fidgeting around like they need to go to the loo? Why are there so many horrible collision errors in cutscenes? Why is there tearing and frameskipping everywhere in the damn story segments? I mean, in fights I accept that things may not go according to plan, but cutscenes and conversations are static. Finally, why do some spoken lines sometimes end mid-sentence? Without subtitles I'd have missed out. 

On a mission you have to mix some crap into some air filtering system, and of course there's hordes and hordes of enemies between you and the oversized air conditioner. So far, so good.
My solution? Walk there, shoot two guys without killing them, turn around heroically at the sight of them readying their flame throwers  , sprint away to the next cover, turn around, and all enemies have vanished. I proceed to walk to the objective without any further complications. Awesome... only not really.

At the Loyalty mission of the Krogan member I lost sound completely - at first it even blasted white noise at full volume for a second or two. What gives?

Why is the scanning/harvesting such a horribly boring endeavour? Boggles the mind. Is this some kind of twisted over-the-top revenge for the complaints about ME1's planetary exploration?

Apropos exploration. Why am I still dicking around in a shuttle after I acquire that Mako-on-fans? Why is it so fragile and useless? Why are all of its missions except one boring fetchquests?

Then there's the writing. Apart from the fact that one could probably summarize what's happening using lipstick on a napkin, I mean.

Crowning scene at the end of the game is of all the crew members THE FUCKING CRIPPLE standing at the docking bay and providing covering fire while you flee from an army of bugs. The one that showed in actual gameplay not 10 minutes earlier that it takes him 5 years of limping to get anywhere on board, and only at the risk of horrible injury. The one that gets a broken arm because Shepard grabs it and pulls him up from his seat. The one that's the least suited to fire a rifle for fear of kickback pulverizing his fragile bones. Even ignoring that, he's the only one able to fly that hunk of junk well enough to escape the impending blast (discarding the AIs apparently inferior piloting skills). He isn't even wearing any armor, he just stands in the doorway all laissez-faire and pretends to be a badass. He has no business whatsoever being anywhere but inside the cockpit with the finger on the emergency booster. He's an amazing pilot, and he's already saved the friggen ship and is sucking face with its AI, he doesn't need this shit. Then again, maybe it's an american thing.



It's an infinitesimally small oversight/annoyance, if that; I'm aware that I'm just ranting for the hell of it, but that scene right there is the perfect example of what feels so off about this games story for me. They manage to introduce just enough inconsistencies that my suspension of disbelief gets shattered, then rebuilt, then shattered again.

Plus there's a limit to Council incompetence. The entire universe is full of convenient extra-solar captures that provide He-3 and cooling near portals, all the planets that hosted life at one time in the past are scarred with craters from highly systematic dreadnought-class railgun impacts, there was a fricken Reaver inside the Citadel already, for chrissake. No amount of Reaver brainwashing or natural idiocy can explain that away.

Also, fuck EA for the DLC cashgrab. No way I'm going to pay another 15 bucks for some missions and a video archive. 

[close]

The alien-sexing was even more of a disappointment than in ME1 (A three-second-clip of a fully-clothed couple hopping onto a bed? The damn space hamster has more screen time! *meep* ).



That said, I had my fair share of fun. It's a pretty awesome game if you manage to overlook the numerous faults. The amount of content, even if mostly vapid, is positively staggering. I've played for 60 hours (500 saves), and I was motivated for the most part. You kind of spin in place, but boy is it fun. That's really not bad for 15 bucks.

ME3 wishlist?

spoiler (click to show/hide)

I'd like a mix of ME2 and ME1. The former is too smooth and lacks content, the latter is too rough around the edges - but then again, that was to be expected, being the first game in the franchise and all.

Only one thing I consider an absolute must: Please please PLEASE no more Ammo. Ammo sucks big time. Just let it regenerate slowly over time or something. Or even better, do not require it at all, like in ME1. Nothing against ammo for the special weapons, or weapons you're not skilled with as per your chosen profession, but at least let me shoot aliens in peace.

Plus, if at all possible, could mankind for once NOT be the kind-of-loveable self-righteous assholes that by birthright are so awesome that all aliens worship them? I mean, the way the aliens are portrayed in ME1 and especially ME2 makes me wonder how they don't forget to breathe on occasion. I'm not saying humans aren't awesome, I'm just saying we aren't THAT awesome.

I kind of miss the specialized weapon/skill 'chievs from ME1 too. Now there are only three or four of them, and they're boring and get unlocked in normal gameplay more often than not - and they don't even benefit you in the game. Fuck gamerscore-only achievements, as far as ME is concerned. I want the old stuff back.

[close]

[Great Rumbler]

Man, sounds like you really lost the ME2 glitch roulette, I don't think I've heard of anyone having even half of those problems before, much less all those at once. Good grief, man.

[Mupepe]

I just started playing Heavy Rain on Saturday morning.  Man, I could not put it down for 5 hours.  A game hasn't held my attention like that in a long time.  It's oddly fun and entertaining.  I'm not really doing anything but I'm doing so much.  I never get pissed because the story isn't going anywhere because everything furthers the story.  The story is terrible but it's the most compelling story I've ever seen in a video game.  This is the first game where the story makes me want to finish.  It is really the most fun I've had with a game in a long, long time.  I'm due for another long session tonight while the wife studies for school so hopefully I'll finish it up.  Awesome game.

[Smooth Groove]

Yeah, I haven't encountered those glitches even on the PC.  My guess is that Corporal has a 360 that's on life support.

Bioware's game aren't entirely glitch free [I'm looking at you Dragon Age!], but Mass Effect 2 was fairly polished in terms of the technical aspects.

[Robo]

I was just thinking yesterday as I was playing ME2 how surprisingly polished it is.

I do come up with the occasional problem during the conversations - the camera will sometimes be looking to a place where no one is standing; sometimes people will walk around during their dialogue and suddenly pop back into their original place after their lines are over; and collision errors every time anyone is holding anything - but absolutely nothing during the action segments so far.  Having stepped away from New Vegas to play it, I'm finding it pretty refreshing.

The story complaints are totally fair.  The lore is fantastic, but the main narrative is fit for a James Cameron movie, and most of the individual conversations are awkward.  I kinda want to read the books just so I can get something a little more fulfilling out of the universe.  The loyalty missions are decent enough, but they're almost all entirely derivative.

[cool breeze]

Mass Effect 2 is bioware's first polished game in a while (haven't played sonic rpg on the ds).  Jade Empire and Mass Effect 1 (360 version) were really sloppy.

[Corporal]

I will of course blame Smooth Groove for jinxing my current box, should the inevitable happen.

Still, the current one is loud, ugly, and it only has a 20GB HDD. Will wait for a really cheap Slim should this one croak. Fall 2011 is the next game I'm interested in for 360 (ME3), so no rush. As a German my 360 experience™ is far less glorious anyway.


Whatevs.

Bore, tell me what to think. I just got Nier (PS3) and Rune Factory 3 in the mail. I dare say both are the polar opposites of the same spectrum. Which one should I play first? I'm trending towards RF, but once I start playing that I'll probably drop everything else and succumb to OCD for unhealthy amounts of time. Nier is said to be awesome, but flawed, and I kind of have had my fill with realistic/adult Adventure gaming in recent times with Borderlands and Mass Effect 2. Then again, I value the horribly atrophied remnants of a social life I still maintain, so a off-and-on Nier playthrough might be preferable, especially since Christmas is around the corner.

So, OCD loli furry rape, or antidote hunting? Or both? That would probably break me. But I could try nonetheless.

Yeah, it was nice to finally play a western RPG with a high level of polish for once.

[Corporal]

Eh, it could be the buggiest pile of compiled sourcecode ever, as long as it's fun and doesn't impede my enjoyment too much I can deal with it.

Anyway, I've noticed the packaging of Nier was already partially open thanks to an overzealous customs agent, so that's that. Mmmmh, new game smell. Those fumes are probably toxic, but who cares. 

[Mr. Gundam]

I'd play Nier. Just say no to uguu.

[magus]

is rune factory any good? i remember playing it for like 5 minute and thinking that it was just a bad action rpg... what am i missing?

[Great Rumbler]

is rune factory any good? i remember playing it for like 5 minute and thinking that it was just a bad action rpg... what am i missing?

It's also a farming sim and dating sim.

[Smooth Groove]

I will of course blame Smooth Groove for jinxing my current box, should the inevitable happen.

Sorry, man, but your problems seemed like the ones I had before sending in my 360.  Of course, the ME2 could be much buggier on the 360 than on the PC but I haven't heard about that.

[Beezy]

Play Nier. It's a short game with a great soundtrack. I did all the playthroughs to see the different endings and my total time was still only about 35 hours.

[Corporal]

Rune Factory is a dungeon crawler combined with a Harvest Moon game (which means Animal Crossing meets dating sim meets farm management sim). If you ever had any interest in HM but thought it was too boring, this may be more to your liking. Still, extreme uguu alert, don't even thing of it unless you can stomach the designs.

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Basically, you own a farm, and between raiding dungeons for loot and minerals, tending to your captured monsters for produce and your farm for feed/more produce you have that village nearby with stores and a whole lot of ronery maidens that want to be wooed and that give you quests. Wooing means you talk to them often and give them shit they like, as well as do their quests and find them on special days. Each day only gives you a few minutes of actual gameplay, so time management is quite important - shops open and close at designated times, the villagers move around, and then there's also the various weather and seasonal effects, as well as holidays and contests. The more the people like you the better deals you get, unlocking various tools and upgrades for your farm.

Once you've courted a girl long enough that she actually likes you, she may actually fall in love with you. This leads to marrying her provided you have enough upgrades and a good enough gift to win her over. Then you have a kid, and depending on which version of the game you play that's more or less it. You will still continue until the in-game calendar overflows. RF2 for example screws this up by setting the marriage into the middle and letting you continue as the offspring.

The problems it has are incredibly creepy art design (in 99% of the cases you're courting what are arguably 14-year-olds) and sometimes the balancing between the spoils from the crawling and the spoils from the farm. RF1 was particularly wonky, you could find a good spot to mine minerals and never ever have money problems again. RF:F for the Wii implemented a somewhat annoying faery balancing system where you need to catch and release tiny color-coded thingamajings that prey on each other and influence many characteristics of the land they're living in. Not so great, but doable.

[close]

I'd suggest RF2 for the DS, it has a non-loli choice (see above in spoiler) and is pretty accessible overall. Plus, hey, Flashcards.
RF:Frontier for the Wii is quite alright too, and actually quite beautiful considering the crappy hardware. RF3 appears to have been majorly overhauled, way less slowdown and you can take the girls into the dungeons, plus there's a multiplayer mode and a randomly generated dungeon and what-have-you. Haven't played it yet, but it sounds good, if a bit more involved than RF2. If you ever intend to play RF1, do it first, because after playing any of the successors you won't be able to stand it. There'll be also a PS3 and Wii game in the future, dunno about that.


Mr. Gundam: I try to have a healthy gamer diet consisting of  both uguu and bald space marines. I have all current systems, portable and home consoles alike, so I owe it to myself to sample all the choices available to me.


Waiting for my PS3 to finish patching itself, then probably downloading patches for, then updating Nier. Will be able to play in a few hours or so, I guess.

[The Sceneman]

Nier is seriously hot shit and a GOTY contender. I'm currently farming to upgrade all the weapons. NieR is truly a rare treat, often very relaxing to play, but also asks for a large amount of emotional investment. Some of the boss backstory stuff in the second playthrough is heart rending  :'(

[The Sceneman]

Anyways currently I'm playing:

Etrian Odyssey III - probably the hardest EO game to date, I'm getting my butt kicked on the first stratum. Great fun hough.

Nier - as I said before currenty farming towards upgrading all the weapons, so just playing for about an hour today for my sanity.

Alan Wake - I hate to admit this but I keep fucking up "The Signal" no death run. I got up to the boss last night without dying then a poltergeist oil drum landed on me, I was at full health but this thing sat on top of me and jiggled around, thus effectively one-shotting me. I literally jumped up and down and huffed and puffed. Fucking janky 3d shit. I will get the cheev by the end of the week, and then I will wipe my ass with my copy of AW, delete all DLC, then trade in my copy to the monsters at EB GAMES it's gonna be like some divine ass retribution shit.

Red Dead - finally got around to playing some more of the zombie expansion. I mean, it's good, but this game feels so slow and boring after playing Just Cause 2. it's unfortunate, but John Marston really needs a grappling hook and little James Bond plane.

Castlevania HD - still working on the 10,000 kills cheevo. Been playing around with Richter, he's pretty good but I need to track down some more martial arts and subweapons for him to use.

Kinectimals - believe it or not this shit actually gets super friggn hard in the later stages. I imgine kids would get destroyed getting some of these later gold medals. Then again I was probably better at games when I was 10.

[The Sceneman]

also why hasn't Radiant Silvergun been ported to XBLA/PSN yet? It just seems like a friggn no brainer

[magus]

regarding EO3 personaly i lost my shits on the third stratum... enemy on third stratum have wagons of HP to the point it takes forever to kill them and even when you don't factor that,the third stratum boss (not really a spoiler but better safe than sorry)

spoiler (click to show/hide)

has a charging attack that's so powerfull it can OHKO your whole party even when you are under defensive buff and defending or maybe i was just underleveled who knows...

[close]

and everytime you die,you have to waste 5 minute tracking back down because even tough they made a lot of change for the better,they decided to remove checkpoint before the boss

i swear i will never understand how people can take this shit

just wait for it to disasterously bomb, as if it isnt already. it will be $10 new.

I've been hunting around online but It's still full priced mostly. I'll wait for a sale

[Smooth Groove]

I've been waiting for a drop on Vanquish as well.  Bayonetta was $20 after 3-4 months.  It shouldn't take Vanquish much longer since retailers are gonna want to take it off the shelves pretty soon.   

Btw, is Vanquish another sub-HD game?  I tried the PS3 demo and it was blurry as hell, like a PS2 game.  It's a shame because everything else looks pretty decent.

Vanquish is identical on both system.  Digital Foundry even says so.  Both 30fps, 720p, no AA.

Game has ugly ugly ugly IQ.  Very dirty/jaggy/grainy.  But in motion the effects + great geometry make it look good.  It's very much an aesthetic over tech game from a visual perspective.
