I say deliver documents for Ichijo. The chance for greater loyalty to our old lord has already passed us, but we should try and support him some nonetheless.

Obviously Crow and Ichijo have a deep history together, so we should butter him up first so he'll tell us more about ourself. And what does Ichijo love more than anything? Mushrooms of course! So let's steal mushrooms without the guards seeing us!

We care more about our memory than the actual war, so let's play all three lords against each other and do D: Secretly deliver the documents. The game may be repetitive, but what really sold me on it was the delightfully insane cast of characters, all while Crow tries to pretend the game's dead serious. Also, one nice thing about the grappling hook is that you can use it instantly mid-jump, letting you get around quicker and reach high places surprisingly easy at times. I don't think I realised that my first time or two through the game, especially coming to this from Tenchu Wrath of Heaven where you had to manually aim your hookshot to get anywhere.

I'm going to vote B just because of the "help" Sadame sent. While Selenic pointed out some of the issues this game has, I have to praise the fact that once the guards have been alerted they remain in a semi-alert state: a lot of stealth games just have the guards revert to their previous normal state once the player has gone away for long enough without any gameplay penalties.

Okay, so what I got from the second video is that Akame is somehow involved in the incident that lead to our memory/soul loss. You want to show off what happens when a Lord's trust hits rock bottom anyway, so I propose that we begin Operation gently caress That Guy by choosing Mission F. It also pays pretty well.

I just this last week saw an LP of this game that did 100% on very hard, and the strategy for almost every map seems to be to invest in bombs, throw them in a corner so everything on the map comes to investigate, then put them to sleep with knock out gas so you can stab them to death. Some missions were done in less than a minute that way. And then there are missions where you can't do that and it gets interesting.

The votes are in and... Donald Trump is Miss Universe. Wait... AA BB D F So, for now we work for Ichijo but it's a toss between carrying boxes or gathering fungi. I'll just do two Ichijo missions. Edit: Man, gently caress those mushrooms. SelenicMartian fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Mar 23, 2016 |

quote:The upcoming story mission: quote:
Important vote here: Introducing weapon blueprints. Sometimes lords spend cash on exclusive access to new weapons. Goh doesn't get them but at least some of that lord's troops will carry them in missions making our life harder. The red balls are the difficulty rating. A: quote:
B: quote:
This mission is crazy hard, since its effectively timed, takes place on a cramped mountain road with bottomless pits everywhere and the courier is guarded by a small army. I might need to go shopping for tools. C: "The Cunning Plan" package: 1) Take Akame's mission to steal Sadame's blueprints; 2) Do not send the them to Akame; 3) Send them to Ichijo instead. This will give the tech to Ichijo, boost his trust, but Goh will get no payment at all and Akame will be one step away from blowing his lid. D: "The Tactical Coward" package: Same as C: but we don't send the prints anywhere and let them collect dust in out storage.

Gonna have to go with option B. We haven't given Akame any love, nor have we chopped up any of Sadame's goons. I'm also really curious to see if Sadame loses her poo poo or if that's avoidable for thievery missions!

B is where it's at. A lesser feudal lord would have made something up about having nothing to do with nearly killing us and inflicting amnesia on us, but Akame is above such petty scheming (or, more likely, he's just that cocksure). That shows integrity right there.

I've heard that the Barbarians are based on nomads from China, Russia and other places who crossed the sea to Japan or at the very least are very primitive Japanese tribals.

It might be worth mentioning that every "[a lord] gets [a weapon]" event is a unique cutscene.

Going to vote C so that we see that mission type. And it might also give us a chance to see Akame's upgraded troops in action.

Really loving this LP. Tenchu has always been a favourite for me so I have no idea how I never heard of this series. Nice to see a game where the ninja is a mercenary as opposed to a personal bodyguard/assassin. Thanks for showing it off! On a related note, does anyone know if the psp/vita sequels are worth tracking down? If so do they spoil this game? I'm guessing that the missions are split between story and randomly generated missions. Does the the game have a time limit (e.g. Must finish all story missions before day 100)? Or does the game just run indefinitely until you finish the story? I'm gonna vote A since barbarians are scum and this will gain favour with Sadame without pissing off the other lords.
