Wait... so the level really pulls all those psych-out tricks at the player? Intentionally? And people enjoy that?

It's a testament to good design I think, the level is finelly tuned to the music, so messing up with the visuals forces you to play it based on the sounds. It's quite interesting.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

The combat is eerily similar to the Tales of... series, so I dunno. On the other hand, the skill/specialty system is fairly fun to experiment around with.

The translation is alright too, I guess; it's the content that made me abandon the game.

You'll never gonna find a man if people see you abandoning games like that.

I used to sit there for hours crafting shit.

Some jRPGs are really only playable in those years when you had time to watch Sessão da Tarde and Chaves...

I loved Star Ocean 2 even with its flaws and stupid dialogue/characters. Still have it on my shelf and play it once in a while. Some of those boss fights were crazy on galaxy mode.

 

[Damned Registrations]

Only galaxy mode? R u 4 real scrub?!? Universe mode or GTFO.

Though iirc, it was some random encounters that were the real challenge then more than bosses. Bosses are generally designed with single target attacks and some windup between them, so you can sandbag your way though. But random enemies that just spam shit aggressively (since they were balanced for a mode where the attacks just tickle) across the whole screen, that's when shit gets interesting.

Damn, now I want to play the survival arena again. That shit was fun. Do any of the tales of games have a decent arena? I mean like 50+ matches, not this 8 round token shit.

Livid dead land

To be honest, I really didn't think the land of the livid dead was that rapealicious, altho the lava moment was seriously uncool. But it's the last steampunkish world that I meant. Jesus Christ, I almost ragequit the game at that chapter because, being my typical spergy self, I had to finish every level on 100%, AND FUCK ME WAS THAT TERRIBAD.

I forgot there were galaxy AND universe modes, the latter is what I meant. Haven't played through in a couple years now and my memory is hazy.

Yeah some of the encounters were dangerous and frustrating. The issue with bosses though on the hardest difficulty was you couldn't stunlock some of them if I remember correctly and they hit hard, tough to keep everyone alive. Plus all the HP bloat. The unlimited version of the last boss (Gabriel? I think) was a nightmare on your fingers.

 

[Crooked Bee]

Hm, perhaps I should've stuck with the game some more. Don't think I made it to the arena that DR mentioned. Personally I thought the combat was pretty boring from what I played; then again, I never liked the Tales of games' combat. I also disliked that the game doesn't seem to have any sidequests or exploration to speak of, retarded PAs notwithstanding. Like I said, the only feature I liked was the skill system, though it too becomes a bit stale once you figure out how it works.

I had no idea there was a harder difficulty mode either. Either I just didn't notice it or they removed it for the PSP remake or something.

Also the voice acting is indeed extremely irritating.

Oddworld: Market Crasher edition

Spoiler

Other glukkons wish they were as fabulous

The auction for the last can of gabbiar starts!

And after many high bids and tough re-possessions, Lulu buys it for 3mln moolah. Is not amused when he is de-possessed and realises what he's done. His slig assistant is not very amused either.

"Strange, each time I leave a place, there's a huge explosion..."

meanwhile...

And finally Abe and Munch can call it a day with a brofist after watching the Vykkers Lab crash and burn

So that's it for Munch's Oddysee. It was actually very fun, even if sorta popamoled, but the Oddworld humour and setting really carried it through, and some of the new gameplay elements were p. cool as well.

Next stop: Stranger's Wrath.

Fighting eukaryotic popamole and newfaggotry, I see.

Ah, finally. True End.

Spoiler

That's putting it mildly.

B-but...

And... that's all it is.

Yes. That shorty was impregnated.

 

[RRRrrr]

What game is that?

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

Blackguards.

 

[asper]

How does that plague game compare to Pandemic 2?

CK2: Return to France

Spoiler

1100 - France lost that day.

But one Earl isn't willing to give up.

Sensing opportunity in a Normandy's heir. He takes his chance. Marrying his son to a Norman princess, and killing the previous heir, assuming rule over Normandy and swearing fealty to the Holy Roman Empire.
Years pass as he strengthens his grip and waits for a chance to return to France.
60 years later, it happened.

England lost their grip, and France split into two. Bading farewell to the Kaiser, the German Duke of Normandy charge forward with his levy and merc army.

With the revolt successful, Capets rule over France once more.
But not for long.

Calling upon his former master, the Kaiser for aid, the lone duke gathered his entire force to sweep aside the depleted French army.

With the Kaiser's army behind his back, it's only a matter of time.

1186. The Karlings are back.

If you go to the screenshots section of Blackguards on Steam, that wolf-eating-lady picture has been posted like a thousand fucking times.

Second and final attempt at finishing this atrocity. On my personal "worst examples of franchise rape" list. The game so bad, that only Andyman Messiah liked it. And he liked FF8. Wish me endurance.

You and me, RE4. You and me.

 

[zwanzig_zwoelf]

I actually beat and enjoyed the game.
But I used the gamepad.

 

[spekkio]

Of course I'm using gamepad. It's a Gamecube / PS2 game, after all. Too bad that controls are still shit.

 

[Xeon]

I remember playing this on PS2 and I think I liked it too. I didn't like the Ashley escort missions or something and the QTE with one of the bosses at the end IIRC.

I think I also liked the gangster outfit and the gangster gun you can unlock.

 

[sser]

I watched a buddy play this on the Gamecube ages ago. I thought that first part in the Spanish village was amazing. The game just couldn't stop declining from there until it totally fell apart at the end. That intro is ace, though.

Wanna take over an LP?

No.

Sword of the same size as your penis would be worthy to remember as the most useless sword in the human history.

No, fuck it. Let's play something else.
