And I've played some really bad ones before! IU is like a kaleidoscope of poor design choices that just don't make any sense no matter how you look them and other things are just "lol japan" or "lol animu".

Let's see, we've got:

-The most milquetoast main character ever paired with a really bossy female character [wonderful combination there]
-Getting chased by an invincible ogre TWICE
-Running for about fifteen minutes through a pitch dark forest full of enemies
-Camera and targeting suck big time
-VA is terribad

I feel ripped off and I paid $10 for a sealed copy. $:-\$

Speaking of 3rd rate J-RPGS, how's Last Remnant? I picked up the PC versio for $20 at Fry's but I haven't opened it yet.

Bebpo · « **Reply #3 on:** September 18, 2009, 10:28:13 PM »

didn't Demi like it and get 1000/1000?

edit* I mean IU

Everyone loves TLR

Kestastrophe · « **Reply #4 on:** September 18, 2009, 10:29:27 PM »

I paid $10 for it too, and I can't bring myself to finish it $:-\$

Bebpo · « **Reply #5 on:** September 18, 2009, 10:30:47 PM »

I paid $80 for it and I got through the forest and never touched it again.

And I liked the game! It just didn't scream "play me now" so it got backlogged.

demi · « **Reply #6 on:** September 18, 2009, 10:31:57 PM »

I finished it once, it's on my to-do list for 1000. It's not bad, either. Eternal Sonata is the worst you can do. Maybe you would like that, it has little loli girls and boys.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #7 on:** September 18, 2009, 10:32:31 PM »

I never got around to IU, thankfully, but I'm having a hard time imagining a worse RPG than Eternal Sonata right now.

It's awesome.

Oh God, it gets even better. Now I have to carry Aya through the forest and try to avoid getting hit while all the other guys fight!

Eternal Sonata is the worst you can do.

Bought it and played for a few hours. Never touched it again. Eventually sold it for a pittance.

I can. Imagine Eternal Sonata but with more distant save points and ridiculously high difficulty so you die all the time and long load times.
That's not IU, I just wanted to imagine how to make a worse rpg than ES.

Hitler Stole My Potato · « **Reply #11 on:** September 18, 2009, 10:42:21 PM »

Don't forget to reduce the amount of enemy types in the game. Instead of 4, cut it to 2. Just ostriches and turnips palette swapped to infinity.

Fuckin sweet.

Eternal Sonata

at least the suffering doesn't last very long. i beat the game in about 20 hours

treythemovie · « **Reply #16 on:** September 19, 2009, 01:59:34 AM »

Well you are playing a Tri-Ace game....

originalz · « **Reply #17 on:** September 19, 2009, 02:24:22 AM »

I thought that the second disc was much better than the first one.

muckson · « **Reply #18 on:** September 19, 2009, 03:12:42 AM »

fuck i hope last remnant is good. i finally got around to having the time to play it and bought it today.

Star Ocean 2 and Valkyrie Profile were also Tri-Ace games and those two rocked.

By the way, SO2 was almost completely ruined by Tri-Ace in retrospect when they released the PSP version and kicked out the awesome Star Trek-esque CG opening and popped in some animu trash with J-pop playing in the background. I almost ripped my PSP in half when I saw that travesty.

I bought it because, generally:

Sega Saturn + Atus + RPG = Golden Goodness

In the case of Virtual Hydlide though, I got, well, the Youtube video makes it quite clear what I got.

A comment from the Youtube video:

I've played this game quite a bit, and I enjoyed it the entire time. Looking back on it, it's STILL a decent game by today's standards.

Of course the graphics are going to look painfully clunky-looking now, but its core gameplay still holds up perfectly fine. And for it's time, there's nothing wrong with the graphics either.

You might as well rip apart the first Super Mario Bros.

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #24 on:** September 19, 2009, 03:04:21 PM »

except that SMB1's graphics and gameplay are good and hold up to this day, whereas you can practically see the input lag that would come with that sub-20fps rate in virtual hydlide

I think that was the second worst video I've seen of a game (top slot goes to Trespasser, of course)

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #25 on:** September 19, 2009, 04:27:22 PM »

those physics are fucking sick for the time!

and I don't think the industry even caught up to CleavageView™. I mean, games still use HUDs for christ's sake...why have a fucking HUD when the main character can just ANNOUNCE how many bullets are left?!!

IIRC, Atlus didn't make Virtual Hydlide. It was Sega; Atlus USA just localized it.

I didn't realize that at the time, though I found it out later. And usually though, Sega + RPG is a pretty good combination as well.
