I played Legend of Dragoon at release and thought it was pretty bad, especially compared to like, the large amount of other, better JRPGs available on the PS1 at the time. Nowadays all I can really remember about it is the one woman in your party using her period blood to attack enemies and eventually you reach a point in the game where it seems like every other boss fight punishes you for using your super form.

Odd Wilson posted:Finally picked up and swiftly completed the Cherry Tree High Comedy Club games over the last few days. I've had them in my library unplayed since the weeks before they got delisted, but they were always dimly on my radar. Glad I didn't continue sleeping on them though, they're a fun and charming little time. Even if the second game has no mechanics to speak of, the humor still manages to carry it on equal footing with it's prequel. ...And now I'm sad they're gone. Loved the first game, never got around to the second, thought it was weird as hell the third game was some kind of fight club thing.

Alard posted:This entire conversation is reminding me of that time some game journalist got really angry or something about Dragon Crown's artwork being the way it was. Really stupid thing to do on their part. That was Jason Schreier of Kotaku, who basically said if you were attracted to the Sorceress in Dragon's Crown, you were a pedophile. Something about her face being designed to appeal to lolicon fantasies, which like...what? He then insulted the artist for Dragon's Crown and said he must be an immature teenage boy because of his character designs, which led to a response from the artist:

The Colonel posted:god some of the ability names in wild arms 2 were seriously downgraded in translation. one of the last ARMS attacks ashley unlocks is called Blast Em, and the last force skill he unlocks is Full Clip. in jp the names of these abilities are BLASTER GUILTY and FULL FLAT. full flat means what you might expect it to mean but it is also the name of the deuteragonist of the 1980s tomino mecha anime heavy metal l-gaim, who is a 200 year old lesbian managing an all-woman space satellite who's plotting to kill her abusive ex-boyfriend before he can abuse any more women. i have no idea if this was an intentional reference but i'm going to assume it was because it would fit

Morpheus posted:Never played Legend of Dragoon. Is it a good game that holds up today, or is it just one of those games that was neat back in the day and is mostly looked upon fondly due to nostalgia? It wasn't good at the time and it's not good now and for 20+ years I've wondered why anyone liked it.

I wish Indivisible didn't suck because *man* those character designs deserve a better game. Did any of the indie crossover characters they announced in the Kickstarter ever end up making it into the game? Barudak posted:There isnt a kazoo in the music for Xenoblade 3 and that now makes me sad. This is how I felt playing Tales of Berseria and part of why I burnt out before finishing the game.

Willo567 posted:One other question - why is FF8 so hated besides people not liking Squall There's a lot of front-loaded tutorials, the game systems feel really bad until you understand how to break the game and then that kind of takes any illusion of challenge out of it, the story and the characters are pretty meh other than a few standouts, it had to follow-up FF7 which *anything* that tried to follow that up was going to end up looked down on. Amazing OST though.

avoraciopoctules posted:In the times since, I have gone through FF8 by proxy at least 3 times. Hyperbolic Game Chamber (RIP) did an excellent episode, No One Can Know About This and Retrograde Amnesia did whole audio only lets plays. Those were highly entertaining podcasts, but none of the three left me especially interested in experiencing FF8 for myself. The best FF8 playthrough is still Woolie and Liam's trip through the game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZJB-ylRWiI (They edited out all the un-important parts so they breeze through in a nice easy forty-five minutes.)

ImpAtom posted:Both Monster Sanctuary and Casette Beasts also have neat randomizers built in which adds a lot of value for replaying them. My biggest complaints with most Pokemon-esque games are that either the monster designs suck or the combat is awful. I feel like it's very rare to find a game that can nail both aspects. I've been playing Cassette Beasts over the past week or so and goddamn if it doesn't nail both parts. Genuinely the first Poke-alike I feel like I can recommend to people without having to tack on some kind of caveat.

avoraciopoctules posted:Just played the first mission in catboy tactics. Initial impressions are mixed. They are clearly building on the Mercenaries foundation, and I am a bit impressed at how they've been able to move from the pixels to 3d models so gracefully, and add some more interesting elements/choices deploying your war party. On the other hand, the tutorializing is awful. They are just throwing page after page of dry instruction manual for you to click through, and (I picked the dog side, since the other one said it was going to have challenging fights) you are getting handed a party of four with loads of abilities. If you haven't played Mercenaries and/or something like FFT beforehand, I expect that it would be pretty overwhelming. I'm playing through on the cat side and I've yet to see any of those challenging fights. Goddamn though characters have way too many abilities once you get them built up enough, don't they? Each character getting three classes worth of abilities is kind of insane.

Summoners have like 10 different attack spells with different AoEs, elemental types and riders, then you throw Alchemist and your dogboy sage stuff in and it's impossible to remember all your options at once. Update: I've finally found one of the challenging cat maps.

Star Ocean 2 R is trolling me. I'm doing the stupid cooking battle minigame because I need organic vegetables to finish a guild quest. The problem is uh, it's ONLY giving me the seafood and slime battles, I'm not seeing any of the other ones. It's been forever since I've played the original game, is there something I'm missing here? EDIT: I've spent hours doing this stupid minigame and OF COURSE the moment I bitch about it, I get vegetables as the battle. gently caress's sake. EDIT^2: And I hosed up and lost so no organic veggies for me. I hate this. Vandar fucked around with this message at 05:38 on Nov 24, 2023 |

Hey I finally fuckin' got another goddamn vegetable battle to show up and squeaked out the win just in time too because my Switch was about to go to sleep. I went from a full battery to dead doing just that stupid minigame trying to get the stupid organic vegetables. On the plus side I got enough points doing it to get Ashton's ultimate weapon so that's nice at least.

NikkolasKing posted:I think FFIX's sales are a product of bad timing. I don't think VIII had much to do with it, it was all just the PS1 being on the way out and the PS2 being on the way in. In addition to what’s already been said, Giant Bomb’s Endurance Run of the game did a lot to get eyes on the franchise. I would suspect that played a major role in the game’s success.

I started playing Astlibra and this first boss is stomping my rear end pretty hard. I'm whacking it as much as I can with my hammer and using the fire dragon possession to get in damage defensively. Am I missing something? I feel like I'm doing no damage at all. EDIT: And as per tradition, the moment I bitch about it online I manage to figure it out.
