Folklore

i've read an article on HG101 about this game which made me interessed since it's rare for them to do PS3/360 games but frankly i don't see what's the big deal,it does some cute thing with it's monsters but between the story that goes nowhere and the clunky combat it's just somewhat boring... i also seems to understand i've basicaly have to play trough the game twice?

though truth to be told i only played up to chapter 2 with ellen

I would replay Amnesia with Rift support.  Horror games like that are one of the main reasons I'd buy the Rift; seems like they'd be even MORE freaky if you were in the dark and really looking around as you went.

good lord only if it came with a diy catheter. i mean you'd literally have to turn your head down to cower in the dark jesus christ no just no

Don't trust anyone that praises Folklore. It simply wasn't bad, and it was released when the PS3 had no gaems (unless you count Heavenly Sword and Lair tehee).

I think you summed up what people liked about the game. Its cute monster thing. I really wish someone would take Folklore's basic gameplay structure and map it to a Pokemon game so you aren't spending so much time grinding away in discrete, turn-based battles.

However, the competitive scene would likely throw a fit if that happened.

Atelier Totori

i've defeated evil face (yes that's his name before you ask!) which basicaly count as the game final boss,like ayesha at the end of the game you get an item that fully heal your party so you basicaly turn invincible as long as you can use it... totori has a skill that let her use an item (albeit at reduced power) without consuming it so you are pretty much done with combat once you create it... basicaly all i need to do now is make the last 9 in-game month pass and collect all the ending and then i'm done (in fact i've already done rorona ending because she's the best character ever :heart)

i really really really like the atelier game,as i said a lot of times i play rpg mostly for the characters and the story and it's been a long while since i found a game where i liked a cast of character so much,in fact i'm excited to play meruru mostly because it feature all the character from rorona that were too cool to appear in totori

like i said totori is a better game than rorona,it looks better,there is less stupid fetch questing to do,the combat is more involved and takes a longer time to break the game,not to mention (unlike ayesha) you actualy get to fight stuff well before you can make nuclear bombs and the like... if there are problems with the game those would be

1) a lot of the new character aren't up to par - okay i like filly,but then you have gino who is an annoying brat,mimi who's basicaly cordelia v.2.0,mel who seems to be there only for fanservice purpouse and marc who's so bland i actualy forgot he even existed for a while... it's not a big problem because 80% of the amazing cast from rorona is all there but it's sort of bothersome... totori itself comes off as a little bland too,she's just not interessing and most of the funniest moment with her seems to happen when she's either with rorona or sterk

2) the game gives you too much in-game time,this is made worse by the fact that you don't have any sort of specific objective,just go and wander around and gather point... i literaly spent like 3-4 hour just waiting for time to pass while leveling up and getting more point and it made the game feel like it lasted an eternity! even now i've already finished the game and i still have so much time to burn,and the only reason i don't have even more is because i didn't know how to make the super healing item and had to waste some extra time to fix that

3) i can't believe they made a port of this game on vita without doing a port of rorona first,this game biggest (and HUGE strenght,i can't stress this enough) is continuity,playing this game without having played rorona is a fucking sin,it would be like watching a tv show starting from season 2

4) i really like the battle theme



but most of the other tune just falls flat,they also killed all of the different version of shop jig,that's super sad :fbm

ayesha still remain the best atelier game i played,ayesha cast is not as strong as rorona but it's still host to a bunch of cool characters,it also has all the improvement collected from previous games and it has a plot to follow so you never find yourself without nothing to do unlike totori... but the real kicker is the world,the arland games are set in this generic fantasy world but ayesha? ayesha is in this amazing sort of post apocalyptic world,there is a city in ayesha which is on a lake but since the lake drained all that remains is a huge canyon so the city has now hot air balloons instead

ayesha also has the best alchemy system,in totori and rorona leveling up just increase your odd at success but in ayesha as you level up you get new skills which let you modify or rework items to your pleasure and as a result it feels a lot more involving,i've heard some people saying that ayesha "dumbed it down" because they removed the trait system from the arland games but the trait system is a huge pain in the ass to deal with and involve lot of farming so good riddance i say!

anyway it's a good thing they already announced escha&logy! anybody who cares about character driven rpg should check these games out

So apparently I have tons more Kings Field IV to go through, so I am sending it back to Gamefly to pick back up at a later date. I can't believe what little progress I made in four days. Gonna go through Cold Winter next, and getting Shadow Of Destiny and DDS2 next week. I was about halfway through DDS2 when I sent it back last time.

The solution for finding the charts in Oracle of Ages was fuckin stupid. It involved finding gloves for a kangaroo so I could find Tingle. Now that I now there are nonsensical goals in this game I'll stop assuming things need to make sense.

Played some Torchlight 2 and, honestly, it was pretty :zzz. Still think Fate is their best game because of how busted and poorly balanced it is. Nothing better than having weapons with a list of modifiers that span the entirety of the screen.

Fairie Solitaire isn't half bad. It's Solitaire and yes, I bought it for the cards, but it's decent as far as Slitaire goes. Really Big Sky on the other hand is garbage. But I already owned that, so I could at use it to help offset the cost for Fairie Solitaire.

The voice over is the selling argument there, I think.

Analogue A Hate Story

i think i remember some borean playing this (bebpo? it was probably bebpo) basicaly in an unspecifed future,a starship has gone missing and it's your job to understand why by reading logs while being paired with a :uguu AI,so yeah it's a whole game made out of those resident evil file...

the premise of the plot is at least interessing,the first logs reveal that the starship (who's apparently big enough to hold a whole city) suffered some sort of apocalypse (it never says what happened specificaly) which made the habitants of the ship to regress into medieval japan,except a terminal-ill girl who was cryogenied in the hope of finding a cure for her sickness in the future,the habitant of the ship are divided into two powerfull families and an emperor who ask family 1 for a daughter to marry so that he can have a son,family 1 decide to remove terminal-ill girl from cryogenesis thinking of her as some sort of divine entity but when the girl awakes,her modern value clashes with the super misogynistic value of medieval japan

unfortunately there isn't much to the game,what i told you might be the premise but it's basicaly half of the plot,there is a sudden emergency situation which force you to pick a side (there are two different uguu AI which tell you the story from different point of view's) then there is the big reveal and then the game ends without much of a resolution all in a less than a 30 minutes affair... there are 5 endings but they are all dumb variation of uguu (AI 1 tells you that she loves you,you leave with AI 2,you leave with no AI) which is pretty ironic when you consider what's the plot is about

the thing that puzzle the shit out of me is that apparently it was written by a canadian girl but all of the name used are korean,and it makes the plot harder to follow than it should be because of all the weird korean names

Atelier Totori

getting all the ending and then i'm jumping to meruru,currently getting money for the money ending,there is a cheap exploit that get you infinite money but it takes forever to reach the amount you need to get the ending and it's booooooooooooooooooooooooooring

Gonna get through Bioshock Infinite, setting aside what I didn't like before.  So far, sorta fun, but nothing we didn't do in Bioshock 1, aside from jumpy hooks and decaps.  Rolled my eyes when I got the regenerating dude shield...guess this game is gonna be a linear shooter?


After about an hour of that, I thought "hmmm, i should try System Shock 2." 

and played that for the next two hours and it was awesome.  I didn't pay super close attention to assigning my stats at the beginning, so I have no hack and no research and basic weapon skills, just psi skills and a wrench.   Should I start over?   

I'm surprised to see everything from the bioshock games in there-- reminds me a bit of playing Metal Gear 2 and realizing all the stuff you like from MGS1 actually originated in MG2.  Audio logs (which I think were praised as innovative in Bioshock?), random bags of chips, same health+magic set up, evil person pretending to be your friend giving you instructions.  But way more survival horror-- the hybrids fuck me up and I'm afraid to go anywhere or do anything. 

now I wanna put down Infinite and play SS2! 

but today I think I'll finish up the last 10 missions of EDF2017 Vita on normal mode.  :rock

Haven't beaten the game witha psi char but I believe playing it that way is harder than weapons + some hacking. Should be beatable however, maybe look up a character guide.

I kept playing Zelda. I keep getting annoyed by this dumb Crescent Island level. I mean it's just so damn tedious. It's not clever or interesting. I'm just traipsing around this island going from area to area swapping items combinations in and out so I can figure out how to get all my stuff. Nothing about it is fun.

Only if you're a british developer, otherwise it's going to get knocked for being pretentious. But I guess we're already at the point where its backfiring regardless.

Finished OoE last night with almost every glyph and ring collected. It became slightly better at the end but it was still a major disappointed. How did I even think it was great or the best DS CV, I'll never know.

6.5/10 on IGN's scale.
2.5/5 on CV's scale.

Playing SotN. Ahhhhhhhhh so much better than the trite than that trite. So much heart went into this game. You can tell that it was created when the producer was still aspiring/inspired, whereas with OoE it felt like he was handed his notice as soon as he went into full production.

The only thing I'm missing is the second screen. The aspie-inspired drop rate/list and enemy weakness/resistance/attributes that filled the second screen not only helpful but saved me so much time.

Sometimes the classic opening scene makes you forget of other gems that follow. For example, I've just encountered Maria for the first time... A fully voiced Maria: " Wait a moment, you seem human and yet, what do you here?"

I love this game so much :noah

I'd love to hear what the voice actors thought of the script at the time of recording, way before it gained a cult classic status.

Is it like "constant dying and cheap deaths" hard or "be more tactical and think before you do stuff" hard? 

Hopefully resume playing tonight.

Atelier Totori

got all the ending and my third platinum,some of the endings are hilarious :lol

Atelier Meruru

of course since i'm now done with totori,it was time to start this...  the plot this time,meruru is a princess and she also wants to become an alchemist (trained by totori no less) her father doesn't want her to be one so she now has to prove herself by using alchemy to make a kickass kingdom,at least this plot doesn't involve any missing family member like totori and ayesha...

this time there are even less new character introduced,there's meruru itself,her uguu chaperone keina and her bodyguard lias who wouldn't look so out of a place in another rpg as he spends most of his time sulking about his BROTHA! at least it's mostly played for comedic effects...

then there are returning characters,hagel still there,pamela still there and of course there is totori,back in my previous post i said totori was a boring character and this game just sort of confirms it as she spends most of her screen time being the most square block in a bunch of circle's to the point it feels she could be replaced by a generic NPC and nothing would have been lost,curiously her most amusing dialogue so far was narrating the legend of rorona,loli-ona can't come soon enough!

meruru has no specific plot to follow like totori and is still mostly about doing stuff to gather points but this time it's a little more involved,since the plot is about growing the kingdom most of the point-raising quest send you into a zone and then ask you to deliver specific items or doing specific stuff related to the growing of the kingdom,for example the first quest involve colonizing a forest so you have to gather all the wood around and then synthetize it into planks so that they can build a nice hut,as you solve these task the zone around you change and it's pretty neat to see civilization spring from nothing

another neat addition is that this time the point you gain can be spent on building more stuff for the kingdom,for example you can build a military school which increase the EXP gained,it's a much needed addition,i lost count of how many times i tought of myself that "racking point would have made much more sense if there was something to spend them on" when playing totori

and uh... frankly i don't think the actual game difference with totori are big and the game still didn't have enough time to introduce (or maybe it would be more correct to say re-introduce considering there are more returning character than new) so i don't have much else to say

Cool, thanks for the offer. I'll try and get them legit as the game isn't that hard or anything, but if they glitch on me, I'll look to boost.

Dead Rising has gotten progressively easier since DR1. Holy fuck the "Saint" achievement was a ball buster
I still want to go back and get that one!

Also, I love that the game's Achievements are all 20-points each. I mean, it's unbalanced, but it's kind of neat that all of them are given exactly the same GamerScore.

Serious Sam 3 has a pretty shaky start, but it eventually turns into the series' familiar monster-swarm fiesta. Doesn't touch the godly perfection of Second Encounter, but it's pretty good fun in co-op.

the crissagrem (in case someone doesn't know) for example is a special sword that hits like 7 times per second,it hits so hard and fast both the final and optional boss die in less than 5 second :lol

also one of the toughest drops.  Thankfully, I had to go look up what dropped after I didn't get it, so the anger didn't lead to a dead Vita.

Yeah, I'm going through the equipment list grinding for weapons I've failed to pick up before. Experimenting with all the specials can be quite fun, even though you obviously don't need any of that to complete the game.

I've wasted a bit of time to farm two Lapis Lazulis (+20 Luck each). Then picked up a Crissagrem, 2 Heaven Swords (combo special is cool), and Murasama. I'm going to level up the latter just because.

I have to hand it to this game; I'm still discovering small things even after all these years. And I'm determined to see everything this time.

:bow Shield Rod + Alucard's Shield

That's game breaking yo. :lol

Even though I've always thought Familiars are useless, and they mostly are, leveling up the Sword familiar to 99 wasn't as worthless as I initially thought. First off, I like how it kept upgrading it's appearance and even 20 levels or so, how it attacks and response time changed for the better, and how it became a weapon I can actually wield past level 50. I love this game.

My biggest gripe is the boss fights. Not only were they mostly forgettable but some regular enemies from the inverted castle were more challenging. A rerelease with rebalanced/buffed enemies, and overhauled menu system to match the streamlined DS titles would be godly.

I mean, do I really need to go to the librarian to check the enemy list/drops? And who fucking pays money to watch boss strategies? Lol

Also, make subweapons and familiars useful. Kthxbye

we're talking about Konami. Shaka, you put more effort into that post than Konami ever has in re-releasing a game.

Oh no arguments there. Just sharing my thoughts on the hypothetical improved rerelease.

Playing and loving State of Decay. There are moments where I think I don't need any other game until the end MO version of this comes out. There is a lot to do. In fact, there's so much side stuff to do that I fell behind in my story missions. One of them disappeared, so there's a path now closed to me until I replay it.

I tried buying that last night but couldn't find it on xbla.  That place is a hot mess, no helpful easy search functions. Just gotta search with that whack on screen keyboard

You could always dig into the game data and make a "difficulty/balance" patch for SOTN. I wouldn't be surprised if one already exists given its popularity.
