Uh, can someone tell me how to create games where actual people will join and not NPCs? I know I can invite people to in front of the ranch but I think that only works with friends.

If you want to make your own game, go to the stable. If you want to join random games go to the gate. Experimented with Chaos Labyrinth just earlier, picked up the skill point refund item after finishing three levels. It's basically a randomized dungeon, although it copies backgrounds from the story dungeons. Trap/enemy/treasure placement is random, and you'll get things such as entire floors lighting on fire or etc. Might get crazier later, since I'm not that far in. You also get rewards for finishing levels; there's generally 2-3 dungeons per level of the labyrinth so far, with a total of 9 levels. EDIT: Make sure you have join on in the Tavern for player slots.

No one can tell me if this game can be played 100% I'm English? (The Japanese version...) I think I see it for download on the JP PSN store (unless that's some kind of preorder link?)

I think it was mentioned on one of the streams that the English text was actually in the game in the JP version, but was commented out in the code or something. But yeah I'd just wait a week. EDIT: apparently bosses can appear as minibosses in the Chaos Labyrinth. RoyalScion fucked around with this message at 00:05 on Jul 30, 2013 |

Thanks, but non-human players are still joining my game. I don't know why. I had a real player join and help me kill Medusa though. Uncle Wemus posted:Oh man theres permadeath? Only for people you've found on multiplayer and resurrected into your own game. Also, you can't repair their equipment, so once all of their stuff breaks, the only option is to delete them. There's also a limit to how many you can have at once.

Yeah, they'll just randomly join. Unfortunately there's no way to restrict slots to human-only, if that's what you wanted. Usually for quests I just do a really long adventure run because it'll eventually cycle through them.

I think it's a reasonably good game for $50, but in general I like co-op shoot-em-up/action games, so take it with a grain of salt. Some general pros and cons: The visuals are pretty nice aside from the all the mostly naked women. Skills and attacks seem like they have weight and power, which is good. Fighting in general is pretty enjoyable, and there's no penalty for partying or anything. However, at the same time all the flashiness means it's easy to lose track of yourself and find yourself dead, especially when there's another person of the same class in the party. The 2.5D nature also makes it hard, for me at least, to see if I'm on the proper plane as the enemy sometimes. Combat is generally fast-paced and nice, but some enemies get pretty HP-spongy in the harder difficulties; some of them are more annoying than the bosses themselves. Item properties seem kind of boring; there are some unique modifiers on some gear but they are rewards from finishing Labyrinth stages; I don't know if they appear on random loot. Stages can get repetitive, since they're mostly the same every time except for enemy placement; even that isn't varied enough for my taste. The Labyrinth of Chaos is pretty much a ton more interesting than spamming story stages, although a fair amount more difficult, and there seem to be less people playing it.

At the moment I have a few chaos weapons but I already have weapons better than them. I guess these chaos weapons (obtained from the Labyrinth) could be considered the equivalent of a Diablo 2 "set". And just like sets, there are regular items better than them. Maybe there's a bonus for using all of them at once, just like in Diablo 2? I only have three so far. I already have a weapon for my Dwarf which are better than the chaos hammer (雷神のカオスハンマー) which I have, which does 132-165 over the chaos hammer's 132-154. Unless there's some reason to keep using the chaos hammer, I don't see any reason to stick with it at this point.

Usually set pieces that combine to give an overall better bonus mention it somewhere, but this is a Japanese game so maybe not. If your Japanese ain't good/non existent I'm sure someone here could hook you up.

Samurai Sanders posted:What's the loot drop per minute rate like? Is it crazy high like Borderlands? Are you constantly running out of space to carry stuff? I have around 250/500 in my item box and I haven't sold anything. Although I've only been keeping mostly S/A rank gear. It's also possible to share your Item Box with your other characters.

You dont see the loot until the end of the play session when you are returning to town. You do all the identifying and selling before it touches your inventory I get on average 8 pieces per mission with maybe 2 of them upgrades. If you are chaining missions the item rank goes a lot higher and I start getting 90% usable items

I appear to be stuck on the final boss on Hard. It feels like the game is asking me to grind through the first three levels of the Labyrinth to reach the level cap. Is it possible to evade that insta-kill tornado crap?

Samurai Sanders posted:What's the loot drop per minute rate like? Is it crazy high like Borderlands? Are you constantly running out of space to carry stuff? Generally you'll get around 5-7 pieces of loot per dungeon, with a run time of around 8-10 minutes if your group is competent. As mentioned previously, loot isn't distributed until the end, and you have 500 slots of storage; so you should pretty much never run out of space if you sell all your non S-A-B rank gear. Even then, with most of the gear set to be for your class, I usually toss things that also have less than 3 mods automatically, ID the rest, and then toss any items without any good mods. At level 89 I'm sitting at about 160 spots used in my stash, although I do have 9 bags worth of equipment. The Chaos Labyrinth pieces don't have a set bonus, but some of them have weird things; for example IIRC I have a ring that gives +30% score and gold received, but decreases damage you do and increases damage you take by 30% each. As for the hard dragon, I really don't know; I've just abused well-geared player characters to murder the final boss on normal and hard, haven't tried on infernal yet.

How is item durability handled? Are you able to use weapons indefinitely as long as you have the gold to repair them or is there some kind of diminishing return/exponentially increasing cost associated with using items for prolonged periods of time?

Degrades upon use, e.g. hitting things with weapons, or getting hit in the case of armor. I haven't noticed any increasing repair costs, but generally I replace gear pretty quickly.

Atlus is usually better with their english I have the skill to triple jump body slam like an eagle and the one to put bombs in my inventory, but I'm not sure how to make them work together

Well, today the game froze my PS3 in the middle of a chaos labyrinth dungeon run, so let it be known there is at least one bug in the system. Also since I guess I heard it was present in Odin Sphere, there is some slowdown when there's ton of monsters/pyrotechnics blanketing the screen. One other complaint I have is that you can't use the gate to get into the chaos labyrinth; therefore you're stuck spamming the stables until you can join a game. A lot of the time it'll stick you in a solo dungeon, and although you can bring NPCs they're not really well suited to combat there.

I've had the game black screen after completing a mission in a party (but I could still jump and hear sounds), I've also had the game freak the gently caress out when someone tried to join and the whole thing would freeze for a while. Still having difficulties with the final boss on Hard. It's really difficult to deflect attacks as a Dwarf, I would imagine it being easier with basically any other class. Edit:

Kind of weird that Polygon gave this game the high standards treatment and yet gave DmC an 8/10. A pregnant lady gets shot in the stomach in that game, arguably more terrible than big boobs. But then again, I don't get the "shitloads of violence is fine but tits are just awful" standards in entertainment
