Sho Nuff · « **Reply #17 on:** April 19, 2013, 01:53:47 AM »

I am kind of curious, though, about why a bunch of hackers would drive around in a giant conspicuous semitruck with their logo on the side

Don Flamenco · « **Reply #18 on:** April 19, 2013, 02:32:57 AM »

it's like the rap music in persona 3-- they have an edge to them borrowed from counter-culture, but overall, they are model citizens and mean well and always try their best

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #19 on:** April 19, 2013, 02:53:38 AM »

Shit, I'm not quite sure how I should be allocating stats to people like Nemissa

demi · « **Reply #20 on:** April 19, 2013, 08:42:17 AM »

Main Character - Strength / Vitality, etc. (Physical)

Nemissa - the complete opposite (Magic)

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #28 on:** April 23, 2013, 09:20:44 PM »

This game has locked up on me three times. Not sure how others are coming along but it might be worth it to have the save anywhere module equipped.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #29 on:** April 23, 2013, 10:11:32 PM »

The game froze on me in my FIRST FIGHT. I was like well SHIT this doesn't bode well. Hasn't frozen since, but audio's dropped out once.

Picked up the game this weekend because I didn't want to wait to long and have to get the stupid edition. Gonna start playing it today.

demi · « **Reply #36 on:** April 29, 2013, 03:21:01 PM »

The 1997 FMVs were awesome. It was like I was learning how to cum again.

I still wear a lot of flannel!

Actually I just realized that I don't really have a clear idea of exactly what flannel is, other than some kind of material that people wore in the 90s. Is it like fennel? Wait, I'm not completely sure what fennel is either.

chronovore · « **Reply #38 on:** May 02, 2013, 01:59:08 AM »

I want to play this, but not enough to buy an "import" USA 3DS, and not enough to buy a local one and then struggle through in Japanese. Sho Nuff, what should I do?!?!?!?

Beat up a fat American kid and steal his 3DS. DON'T play it in Japanese, trying to translate all the cyber talk kanji will make you unhappy. You've waited 15 years to play it, you can probably wait a few more

I'm at the Amami Monolith now grindan for MAG and boosting my hot Femme and Night demons. Game rox, can't wait for SMT4. I am so sad that I haven't been able to capture a Jersey Devil though

I need more srs impressions buds. I just started my summer vacation and now I just want to BURN THROUGH GAMES MANG!

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #42 on:** May 02, 2013, 06:57:50 PM »

Impressions? It's a dungeon crawler where the gameplay spaces are Japanese office buildings, auto plants, laboratories, etc. Guns are really fun to use, especially the ones with SMG spray. Cool story. Talking to demons and negotiating with them is awesome.

This game would have been BALLS ASS HARD were it not for 1.) the ability to knock down the difficulty 2.) the always-on automap with special spaces marked and 3.) Save-anywhere ability you can install in your COMP. I guess you can turn that shit off if you got giant testicles.

Shaka Khan · « **Reply #43 on:** May 02, 2013, 07:22:28 PM »

Sounds amazing.

demi · « **Reply #44 on:** May 02, 2013, 07:30:04 PM »

Its very OLD SKOOL PLAYSTATION (literally), I think EO4 plays better but this has more story.

Soul Hackers is considered one of the easier SMT games. The SA thread is pretty useful because there is hardly shit out there for any kind of walkthroughs or FAQs. There are some ways to break the game and make it piss easy and that thread usually explains how.

I haven't changed the difficulty mostly because I didn't discover it until recently.

Himu · « **Reply #49 on:** May 02, 2013, 09:13:33 PM »

Demi: is this easier than Persona 1 psx? Apparently it's like 20 hours according to Aeana, which is pretty short. May crack my game open and play it this weekend if I'm not busy but I'd rather keep busy with Monster Hunter.

demi · « **Reply #50 on:** May 02, 2013, 09:27:14 PM »

I havent actually played much of it yet. I decided to go through Weegee's mansion.

it's 20 hours according to the woman who says dragon quest 7 is 50 hours.

I'm at 20:00 and just into the beginning of the last dungeon, I believe. I'm not grindan too much.

Are you playing on the lower difficulty?

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #55 on:** May 03, 2013, 01:39:40 PM »

Yes I am.

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #56 on:** May 03, 2013, 05:22:30 PM »

Ok, that might explain the discrepancy since I did do a lot of grindan. I also spent a lot of time fucking around in the overworld and Paradigm X.

Great game.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #57 on:** May 04, 2013, 08:47:13 PM »

This game is so fuckin hot. At the last boss now. Grinding a little bit just to get more sick demons and make them fuck for my pleasure. Nothing better than feeding demons chicken carcasses and goat heads. Hail mighty Satan

Olivia Wilde Homo · « **Reply #58 on:** May 04, 2013, 09:44:18 PM »

I just beat the game. I said "fuck it" and turned down the difficulty. Since I was pretty well leveled and had all kinds of fused demons with maxed out loyalty just to survive, now it was like a hot knife through butter.

A+++ game, will probably not play again but I highly recommend it to others.

Sho Nuff · « **Reply #59 on:** May 05, 2013, 12:00:23 AM »

FUCK YEAH I just cleared that bitch. I even cried at the end because I realized I can never go back to 1997, but then I wiped away my tears and reveled in the even more badass cyberpunk I have become
