What are you playing?

warrior has a skill that turns an amount of random gem into skulls equal to half your red mana,the problem is that if you have a lot of red mana,"random" becomes "all of them" you deals so much damage that i even had the game freeze once!

i just came to the realization that one of my gun had a lot of space for more barrels if i removed a single scope so now when dual-wielding i have around 120 charge with a 52% charge acceleration... good enough?

also i can't seems to find the traveling merchant for the money trick exploit which is pissing me a lot (just want the "spend 500,000 gold" achievement and enough money to not feel bad everytime i have to retry a fight) i already checked the ghost town (forsaken?) and the waterless bridge but nothing she never appears there and time seems to be frozen for some mysterious reason... i heard that she may appear in another place called tower of something but i still haven't had the chance to check it,did anybody else have such a problem and can tell me if she ever appears there or where else i could try to look for her?

I so want to sex that ex-stripper grandma CSI even though she's probably like 55 by now

I'm only 10 chapters in on Bayonetta but I'll finish this weekend. It's pretty amazing once you have a good amount of the weapons and techniques. What accessory should I buy first? The parry one? The one that triggers witch time when I take damage? Also, do you get more halos on the higher difficulties?

I didn't know Bayonetta had no achievement that was like pure platinum everything on infinite climax. 1000/1000 will be cake.

Honestly my only real complaints so far are not being able to change the controls, the sometimes Ninja Gaiden-esque camera angles, that random motorcycle shit that lasted for like 20 minutes, and the awful QTEs

Looks like I'm ready to beat chapter 1.

Of course there is. You get more attacks/magic, you get more benefits or deal more damage for matching three of a kind, which also may give you a free turn the higher your proficiency with that particular kind is. You also start the fight with more mana already in your reserves, so that's awesome too.

Sure, the opponents scale with you, but as Magus already has shown there are some ridiculously powerful attacks available to higher-level players.

[iconoclast]

Re: Bayonetta

The only accessories I ever used were the Moon of Mahaa-Kalaa and the Gaze of Despair. Although IIRC, the Moon is fairly worthless on NSIC. Think I replaced it with the one that lets you absorb a hit with your magic (but even that is pretty worthless unless you're going for Pure Platinums).

[fistfulofmetal]

pretty fun. it does a great job bringing the DMC/Bayo gameplay mentalities to a shooter.
i only wish it was a little crazier.

buh?  moon is the best accessory hands-down.  its saved my ass countless times, especially on nsif when you dont have witch time.

[iconoclast]

Well yeah, but the moon's mainly good for activating witch time via perfect parry, and IIRC that doesn't work on NSIC. Not much reason to parry anything else (besides projectiles) when you can just dodge.

[Bebpo]

Finished The Last Story, wrote up my thoughts:

Finished it up this morning.  My new game+ save is 18 hours on the dot, but I didn't do much of the town quests or mess around with the arena to much, so I can see it being 25-30 hours if you do everything.

Does game quality matter if it's fun?

That's the dilemma when trying to critique The Last Story.  If you were judging it solely from "is it a good rpg?" perspective, the last story fails.  If you were judging it solely from "is it a good action game" perspective, the last story still fails, although less so.  But if you're perspective is "is it a fun game?" then the last story passes with flying colors.

The Last Story will probably be one of the most fun games this year, and it's definitely one of the more fun games on the Wii for sure.  The game is constantly exciting, extremely accessible, and always makes you feel like an awesome gamer.  As someone else put it early in the thread, "it's Mass Effect 2 with swords & magic".  It has the same kind of stop & pop constant fun as ME2.

Gameplay - Combat
The real time system of TLS is so fresh, that's it's tough to describe without playing it.  It's like Mass Effect x Tales of the Abyss.  You run around slashing enemies and using powers, but similar the FoF system of Abyss, those powers leave elemental magic circles which you can then use to change your attacks.  By the end of the game the strategies boil down to having a bunch of element spots around the floor that you can instantly fly over to and activate for buffs/debuffs or heals.

On the other hand, after a while the combat tends to feel a bit less fresh because frankly there just isn't that much depth to it.  Similar to the combat in ME2, it's kind of "lite" on the rpg-strategy and more on just doing the same things from a very limited moveset.  Because you can only control Elza, you basically have these attack options 1) slash a guy, 2) hide and then pop out and slash a guy, 3) use your one magic attack to activate circles, 4) shoot your bow arrow.  While the circle system actually gives that more depth than it sounds and you spend most of your time ordering your sub-characters, the truth is that the limited moveset of both Elza and the rest of the cast give a game a learning curve that is perfect for about 10 hours and then sorta plateaus.  But it tends to stay fun.

The other thing that's a bit unfortunate about the combat is that the game is really really easy until the final bosses.  You can probably just run up and slash everything you see for most of the game without having to really go any deeper.  This is great because it makes the game very accessible, but the lack of challenge is a bit of a shame.  The final chapter, which has some tough bosses, is where the game really shines and is easily the best chapter in the game.

To be fair though, I have to admit I'm a bit glad the game is easy.  Why?  Because the controls, camera, AI, and glitches in the game are a little more than I like to deal with.  The camera in particular is spaztastic.  With the lock-on being more worthless than worthwhile.  And then little stuff like assigning ROLL to the same button as ATTACH so if you run up to something you want to take cover behind and hit A to take cover, half the time you roll right past it instead of attaching.  Same thing goes for when you have to pick up objects and you're being chased by enemies so you run up to hit and hit A (or down with manual controls) and you roll over it.  The game definitely could have done its control scheme a bit better.  And I had some nasty glitches, the worst being after a boss, the camera decide to get stuck locked at the ceiling so I had to go into FP to find the exit and then run out the exit while not seeing my character and having the camera spin around pointed straight up, lol.  Could use some more polish for sure.

Also I want to mention that the boss fights are great and the highlight of the game as they play out more like Zelda where you need to figure out the solution to the puzzle to beat them.  Very fun.  Though the game also tells you the answer to the puzzle as your teammates shout what you need to do as you're fighting.  I wish you could turn that off!

But overall the combat is great.  Or at least a great start.  I'd love to see a Last Story 2 that builds on the systems introduced here.

Gameplay - Non-combat
This is one of those "do you want an rpg?" grey areas when looking at the game.  If you want an rpg experience of exploring environments, traveling the world, meeting people, towns, etc... you will hate this game.  If you get past the fact that TLS really isn't an rpg, this stuff will bug you less because it's not like Gears of War really has anything to do outside shooting monsters and people are fine with that! 

I guess the closest experience would be Dragon Quest Swords.  Like DQS you have a town (that's much bigger in TLS) and you can walk around in that town.  And then you go up to people who say essentially "do you want to continue the story" and when you click yes you're transported into the next corridor slasher dungeon or couple of dungeons and then you'll end up back at the town again.  In the town you can do sidequests, but the lack of modern standards like a quest log to keep track of who asked you to do something and what they wanted, made the quests less enticing for me personally.  Since there's no world or even environment out of the town to explore, all the quests are solved just by walking around doing things in the town or a few of them have their own unique "chapters" where they take you to a new location to do them like the normal game chapters. 

And that's it.  You can walk around, do some fights at the arena, do the quests in the town, shop or jump to the next setpiece.  Because the scope of the game is so small (it's like a 2 hour summer action movie, rather than a novel or 20-50ep tv show), there's just not much to the world.  TLS is mainly an on-rails action game.

Gameplay - Character Growth
One thing that's nice about TLS is that there's no grinding.  If you want to gain levels before a boss you can call out enemies in a room next to the boss and fight them for 20 seconds and gain a level each time.  It's simple, effective, and not important at all because stats don't matter much in TLS.  TLS is an action game, if you get the strategy right, you win.

But in addition there's also a weapon/armor system where you get loot from dungeons and upgrade them and weapons have inherent abilities that make them unique and armor is visible and unique and looks cool.  Tbh, this is just ok.  On the plus side there is a lot of loot in dungeons and that's always fun; it's great picking up an item that glowing orange and says RARE.  On the other hand upgrading weapons feels like a chore as it's boring and just breaks up the action.  And while visible armor is great, there's like, less than 10 pieces of armor in the whole game.  I think my cast looked the same for the entire 2nd half of the game.  After playing Xenoblade with tons and tons of visible armor, it's a little sad.

Story
While TLS may be Sakaguchi's take on Mass Effect 2 and to a degree Gears of War, the plot and writing quality tends to be more towards the latter than the former.  I love Sakaguchi for his creative game design and his 90s throwback style, and it pains me to say it, but the man can't write, at least not anymore.  Blue Dragon turned out well, but Lost Odyssey (outside the 1000 year stories written by actual novelists) and ASH were junk.  The Last Story's plotting and dialogue feel exactly like Lost Odyssey's main plot, straight down to the over-exaggerated villians, characters who never see the obvious and a personality-less main character who is basically just generic beefy guy A.  I know LO has some fans, so maybe some people will enjoy it but while I loved the 1000 year stories in LO, I thought the plot and cast boring and generic.  Which basically sums up TLS.

I also feel this hurts TLS a little more than LO though because TLS could almost be called an interactive movie.  It's an on-rails experience with constant cutscenes every 2-5 mins that probably make up around 30-50% of the gametime.  So when you're spending a good chunk of your time watching the story, it doesn't seem that unreasonable to want it to be good.  I mean if Xenoblade was presented in the same way it'd still be great because Xenoblade's plot was extremely interesting and the cast and dialogue were well written.  But here...not so much.

But like a Michael Bay movie, most of the time the lack of intelligence of the writing doesn't really bother you since it's presented in an exciting way to make the game feel like you're playing through the latest 2 hour explosive summer action movie.  The pacing is amazing most of the time.  It's like Call of Duty with constant things blowing up and happening left and right.  TLS does CoD far better than FFXIII's attempt at it.  It's only in the parts where the game stops and tries to add real emotion to the paper-thin characters and falls totally flat, that you kind of wish Sakaguchi would just let someone else write his stories.

Characters
The Characters also feel inspired by Gears of War.  Your sub-cast of mercenaries have about as much depth as Dom or the loveable Cole Train.  Taking a cue from FFXIII, TLS has active party talk while you're running through the dungeons.  This is great as it makes dungeons a bit more lively and like with Gears, it's always fun to chat the chat while slicing monsters in half.  One thing though, that is kind of annoying is the timing on these party talks.  For instance you'll open a door and your crew will start talking, but the second you walk through the door it'll end the chat as it loads the new area.  So if you want to finish hearing the whole conversation you have to keep stopping in front of doors and not going through them until everyone is finished talking.  You kind of think they would have recorded the dialogues to be the length of time it takes to run through the corridor from one end to another since the game is so linear ^^;

Graphics
Very, very consistent.  You can see it in this thread, you can see it on gamefaqs, you can see it in other forums where people are playing TLS.  Half the people think the game looks terrible, one of the worst looking games on Wii.  Half the people think it looks great, one of the best looking games on Wii.

Personally I just think it's totally inconsistent thanks to having X360/PS3 level effects like HDR lighting or depth of field or HD quality water combined with the worst texture work known to man and PS1-level flat geometry. 

Even the animation is bizarrely inconsistent.  For cutscenes or talking faces, or certain battle animations, the animation is stiff and low-budget cheap.  Otoh, you have really nice movement animation that reacts to signs by ducking under them, or rails by leaning against them. 

Then on top of that you throw in the art direction which is mainly brown and lacking-color and you have a package that can be appealing at times (parts of the castle, parts of town) and incredibly ugly at other times (dungeons, certain other areas).

Also I just gotta say the texture work is a mess.  The main characters all look great, but any side stuff was given no effort.  For example in chapter 35 there's this one cutscene where a knight is talking to you and the camera is close up on his body and you can't tell what anything is.  It's just a huge blur and PS1 level textures.  From a distance the knight model looks fine, but get close up and the textures are just awful.  You also see PS1 textures on the walls or objects or clothing scattered around.  I dunno if the game just had a really really low budget or if they just said "textures, who cares" but the texture work is about on par with launch-era PS2 rpgs like Tsuganai or some PSP stuff.

But I also want to point out that the water is amaaazing.  Especially for the Wii.  It's really the stand out visual point of the game.

Music
Another area where I've seen and am sure there will be much debate for years to come. 

In TLS, Uematsu has decided to forgo the Uematsu melodic style that he used in BD/LO and FF games for a movie-soundtrack style.  What this means is that while you're playing the music always fits the game and helps make it more enjoyable.  But it also means that without having distinctive "town A song, dungeon B song", outside of the main title tracks and one boss tune towards the end that actually sounds classic Uematsu, the rest of the music is not very memorable.

Personally I'm going to side with the side that feels the ost, while competent, is a letdown as I re-listened to the first 10 tracks of the LO ost after finishing TLS, and every single one of those tracks was on a completely different level than the TLS soundtrack.  I'm a fan of distinctive rpg music and was looking forward to another great Uematsu score (I bought the BD & LO osts), but came out disappointed here.

Content
The game is short, yeah.  The main story is about 20 hours and there's around 5-10 hours of sidestuff and a new game+ if you ever want to replay it.  But you can't really compare it to an rpg game length because of the pacing.  In TLS you're always run run running through the chapters at a brisk and exciting pace.  This is much different than the stop and go pacing of a standard 30-50 hour rpg.  So while you'll finish the game relatively quickly, you'll be glad it was kept short with great pacing.

Also there's this online mode or something, but that's not really my thing so I can't comment on it.  If you like online gaming, going by what everyone else is saying it should be fun and add plenty of time.

Overall Thoughts
My experience with The Last Story was that the graphics were kind of bad, the music was a letdown, the story and characters were awful, the gameplay was simplistic and easy, there wasn't any world to explore, and the game was very short.  If I was to only look at the parts, I would give the game a 6/10. 

But a game is more than the sum of its parts, and TLS is a game that proves that.  For almost every negative, there's a positive on the other side of the coin.  Short game? Great pacing; Streamlined combat? Fun combat.  Stupid plot? Lots of explosions.  Most importantly, the game was just a lot of fun.  Really, really fun.  And fun should count for something, shouldn't it?  I mean a lot of the games that get 8s or 9s from review sites aren't even that fun to play  

So at the end of the day, I think The Last Story is a bad game that's ridiculously fun to the point that it becomes an enjoyable good game.  Sakaguchi has succeeded in making the first Michael Bay game.  Just don't go looking for an rpg.  For your own sake.

8/10

You should play it if
-you like sakaguchi
-you like mass effect 2's take on rpgs
-you only own a wii
-you like rpgs

But don't expect it to be as good as Blue Dragon or LO.  I think my Mistwalker rankings goes like this: BD > LO > TLS > BD DS > ASH> Away (didn't play BD+).

Also would recommend it more easily at the $30 price than $50-60 price point.

[Cormacaroni]

gave Super Meat Boy a whirl, great stuff. Thanks to all who recommended it, though I think it was bebpo who pushed me over the edge into buying it (for $2.50 or whatever during the sale) I immediately gifted a copy at full price to a friend after finally trying it

The FF V story and dialogue are so terrible! no wonder I couldn't remember shit from this game it is very forgettable, and Buttz has to be the worst name for a main character in the history of shitty jrpgs names.

FF5 is the best snes FF.

I don't see how FF5 is less forgettable than FF4.

FF5 has a cross dressing pirate chick. What does FF4 have? Little kids turning into stone.

Seems we have a clear winner here.

[Diunx]

The best is FF6 and yeah FF4 hasn't really aged very well either.

Vagrant Story pisses me off... it's so slow-moving, you have to constantly juggle around weapons and debuff even regular enemies, the enemies respawn, there's not always a save point before a boss... don't understand why this game is so loved. Oh yeah, it has cool cinemas and a "mature" political plot. Hopefully it'll get better.

Was also playing Apple Jack, a puzzle-platformer for XBLA Indies that is like Super Mario 2 US. Very good game with some awesome production for an indie.

I'm not touching Dragon Effect 2 with a 10 foot stick until it is $20 with all the DLC so that is moot. 

[Great Rumbler]

I'm not touching Dragon Effect 2 with a 10 foot stick until it is $20 with all the DLC so that is moot. 

Yeah, that's pretty much how I feel too. It isn't that I'm not hyped for it, I'm pretty sure that DA2 is going to be really good, but it's going to get 30-40 hours of additional content within 6-8 months of launch. So there's really no need to get in a hurry. Might as well wait for the Ultimate Edition to come out and then get really cheap during a Steam sale.

[Herr Mafflard]

i guess you guys won't mind missing this scene for awhile then. From DA2's ESRB ratings summary:

In one cutscene, a woman kneels in front of a male character and appears to perform fellatio—there is no depiction of the sex act; the camera pans out to the rest of the room. The words "a*s," "bastard," and "sh*t" appear in dialogue.

[archie4208]

Yeah.  I'll download the demo on the 23rd.

[Smooth Groove]

I meant the full game demo on the internet store. 

[Bebpo]

Well I wrote Sakaguchi a nice friendly letter since he asked people to e-mail him with their impressions after finishing The Last Story.  Would be cool if he actually reads it as I tried to be as supportive as possible while providing constructive criticism to help the US version or a possible Last Story 2 be a better game.

[magus]

grinded the 100 bonus hit achievement,the 100 smackdown attack achievement,the 30 enemy barehanded achievement,the 200 modification achievement,filled every hex,got to rank 48 in the arena and my party is around level 150... vashyron learned "scratch damage 100%" so i don't see any reason to dual-wield anymore

the turret are awesome to make level's but i have a hard time destroying them using grenades... is there any other enemy i can blow up for throw level ups or any suggestion about how i can easily make the turret assplode?

[iconoclast]

I think there is a level with turrets that you can level up grenades on very easily. Or just about any weapon really.

I've been trying to play Dai Ou Jou Black Label for the last hour and a half, but the graphics keep getting corrupted on stage 3 onward and my game freezes after I get a game over. It's kinda amusing in the sense that I see nothing but bullets and hitboxes, but I want my damn graphics back. I hate my xbox.

[archie4208]

I bought Sacred Gold Edition off GoG and I'm playing as a dwarf with a bigass hammer. 

[Himu]

aw yeah.

finally.

[magus]

I think there is a level with turrets that you can level up grenades on very easily.

i think the problem is that i'm using the chummy "5 damage" grenades so the turret regains enough health that it doesn't explode,upon using better grenade i'm having less problem blowing them out

but anyway i spent 500.000 on the clothing shop,defeated the last team in the arena and got the 20 resonance point achievement (which was a pain in the ass since i would always end up running out of space)

that leaves the full arena achievement,the murdered a lot of enemy achievement,the grenade achievement and the remaining achievement which you get upon finishing neverland and the game (twice)

[Bebpo]

Yeah, I almost 100%'d RoF.  I beat neverland/arena, but I didn't want to play the game a 2nd time and I never got the grenade achievement.

[Mr. Gundam]

I finished Mass Effect 2. Time for a new game.

Dead Space Extraction or Dead Space 2? I'm planning on playing both of them, just not sure which one first.

[Bebpo]

I'm guessing play Extraction first if you have move since it takes place before DS2.  If you don't have move, don't play it

[Mr. Gundam]

Played through the first level of Extraction with the Move setup, not bad.

[magus]

done the first 41 rank,most boring achievement ever! the problem with these achievement is that by the time you realize that yes! it is incredibly dull,you are already so deep in them that at that point you might as well finish

[demi]

Or its Tri-Ace's way of padding out their shitty game. A durrrr lets make them grind out 50 arena ranks

[Mr. Gundam]

Dead Space Extraction is really cool, you really get an idea of just how everything got so fucked up before Dead Space began.

[demi]

The end is the only good part really, because its so sudden. But it's decent up to that point.

[Mr. Gundam]

I (finally) beat Dead Space 1 a couple weeks ago, it was cool to see the last level before all hell broke loose.

[iconoclast]

I'm really getting tired of Fist of the North Star. The game starts out well enough with Kenshiro's story... it's a little too long, but I had fun with it. But after I started playing the other characters, I realized Koei just recycled the same stages, bosses, and even the cutscenes, with some minor differences. What a grind this is going to be.

I gotta say, I mostly agree with Gametrailers' review of FotNS. I think they're a little too harsh toward it, but I know where they're coming from with most of their complaints.

Gonna start Dante's Inferno in a minute, since I just got that from Gamefly. God of War clones

Going through the game on PC atm, restarted the story at level 10 and now I'm on Case 6-1 at level 36. Once I've beaten the game on my PC I'm gonna get on the 360 version, buy Case Zero and Case West and go through all three. Gonna try and S-rank it.

tough i'm trying to get every character to level 300 before going to neverland,i already got everyone to around level 250,do i need any particular knowledge to finish it? some accessory it would be good to bring? should i bring some piercing ammo?

[iconoclast]

I did Neverland around level 200ish, IIRC. It's easy if you have level 100 MG, and even easier if you have level 100 HG.

I don't think I ever used anything besides the default ammo throughout the entire game. But I'm the type who hordes all of the limited/rare items in RPGs and never actually uses them.
