 What is Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus? It's a cash grab by SquareEnix... No seriously. Put to go into it a bit further, Dirge of Cerberus is a Third-Person Shooter staring everyone's favorite character C- ERRR Vincent Valentine! You know that completely optional character in the original Final Fantasy VII. (The good one) The guy that was seething CHARACTER and EMOTION. Yeah they decided to make a game about him which is about as good as you'd think. Will this be 100% HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAAAAAA------- NO! gently caress you for even thinking that. This game is shite and honestly the effort I've put forth to get even SOME of the collectables is more than enough. Let's not try to force me to get all the secret items and poo poo too. That'd be insane and I'd appreciate not doing that. Wait did you say this is poo poo? No I said it's shite. Jesus Christ pay the gently caress attention! But that being said there's some things to enjoy about this game. There's a chaining system which increases your damage the more kills you have and it's a bit of a fun challenge trying to keep it going throughout. Also with some of it you can 2-3 shot some bosses. Basically there's a lot of mechanics in here that's fun to exploit. Weak Points for massive damage, and combos to big damage. It has its fun times, but near the end it does drop off pretty horribly. Spoiler Policy Much like with most of the games I LP, please keep them in tags. Videos

The first cutscene has Yuffie riding a flying motorbike without any sign of airsickness and Hojo as a human being instead of an alien thing. This game is already off to a great start.

I can't find it, but I remember reading a great article about how Advent Children was more about getting the viewer to buy stuff than telling a story. The movie has a scene that evokes Aerith/s/th's death by showing the tie-in mobile phone sinking to the bottom of a pool of water. Vincent is the only core character other than Cloud and Tifa to get more than a glorified cameo and guess who happens to have his own game coming out around the time of the movie's release? It really nailed how, even by tie-in standards, it was all such a cynical cash-grab.Zain posted:Oh don't worry it gets better! Trust me it gets better. Wait til you see the overall end of the game. And it's still better than Advent Children.

I really enjoyed this game back when I first got it, enough to go through all of the difficulties. I tried playing it again a few years later and holy poo poo no it is not a good game. I think the worst part is that you get shot the instant you enter enemies' line of sight no matter what. Don't know what I saw in it the first time, but at least back then I still thought the writing was garbage.

I will say beginning game is way better than endgame. There's more you can do with the mechanics in the first couple of chapters and then near the end it's always these slap fights without the ability to raise your Chain gauge up. You'll see what I mean in the next video. Zain fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Apr 11, 2017 |

DoC's biggest sin is that it's terribly designed. Like forget the broody mc and story, those would be forgivable/enjoyable if the game had good design. But it's really not. The level design is terrible, the enemy design is samey and boring, the mission structure is terrible and it commits first time FPS mistakes that you won't see outside of amateur hour unity projects.

OH! I would actually not care if all the enemies were samey, but there's one enemy type late game that's just super annoying and bullshit. But we won't get there for a while. What I will spoil is weapon choice is poo poo! Since we got all of our attack options fairly early in the game. We get only 3 weapons throughout the game. Pistol, Machine Gun, and Sniper Rifle. Honestly if they had more variation in these things it'd be more interesting, or even enjoyable. But basically once you have your basic build it barely ever changes if it does.

Imagine if this had Resonance of Fate's weapon mechanics, and instead of swapping out barrels, it let you build ridiculous Frankenguns with 35 sights and 8 magazines. God, that game was fun.

To me one of the biggest condemnations of this game is how poo poo the soundtrack is. We could have had gothy buttmetal or pretentious orchestral goth remixes of music from FF7. Or just an entirely new buttmetal soundtrack. Instead we got just bland and forgettable nonsense. Final Fantasy VII has one of, if not the, best soundtracks in a series often known for its music, and that the game could drop the ball that hard on that front is just shameful.

You're so right. I completely forgot there's music in this game... Honestly it's so forgettable and I've played it so much you'd think there's some song that would stand out but I honestly can't remember a single one.

 New update So, in this update we're fighting our first boss! And it shows off one of the things I liked most about at least the beginning levels of Dirge of Cerberus. We're not really going to see much of Vincent's (lack of) personality for a few chapters. It's all begrunden acceptance of the situation.

Seriously if this game was a bit better, it would be the spirit animal for teenagers. That bit with the Pragsus Riders was amazing  Kaboom Dragoon posted:Only three barrels? Pfft, loser. When Tri-ace inevitably re-releases the game on PC I hope to god they actually make the guns in battle look like that. Cause no matter what customization you have, the in-battle models don't change. That game was basically cloth physics simulator first and RPG second. Seraphic Neoman fucked around with this message at 23:10 on Apr 18, 2017 |

This game is the crystalized essence of what I hated about FFVII; it is dark and edgy because that's what 14 year olds think is "mature" I gave myself a headache from rolling my eyes so hard at the dialog in this episode. "Stabbed. Crushed. Strangled. Executed without mercy". loving really? Also, of course the Red the Red has a Russian accent.

 Update City Alright! So fun things actually happen in this update. We get a sniper showdown and show that Vincent is really doing this to save the children. Also, we get the best weapon in the game. See if you can spot it. For this level I actually do enjoy it quite a bit. It's cramped but also feels pretty open. Nothing really to complain much about the level design.

Update Where everything that loves me gets hurt This one is going to be a more cutscene heavy update. It goes into the "relationship" of Vincent and Lucrecia, if you can call it that. I want to say close to 15 minutes worth of cutscenes for this one update and trust me they get longer too! Not every update but there's some that are like 20+ minutes.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:Lucrecia is the worst. Oh their dynamic only gets more cringy and pathetic as time goes on. Also I love how anytime you do something badass in this game it's cutscene. It's pretty depressing that they give you a rocket launcher and it's only picked up and used during the cutscene and never again will something like that occur. I'm sure being a Turk Vincent has had extensive weapons training. I don't mind that the Rocket Launcher would be limited use weapon but like seriously give us more of a choice in weapons! Weapons generally make or break games like this.

That's the thing... You get those gloriously stupid cutscene and edgelord dialogue but the actual gameplay consists of running around grey streets and wharehouses and nondescript hallways. It's like they figured the FF7 title will sell the game on its own and just went
