Play those missions after main campaign. Trust me.

 

[SuicideBunny]

How does that work? It updates your team in the main story or what?

yes. but they are p. hard and give gamebreaking equip.

Damn mission seven. Got the tank down to 1/8th health before it nudged into my main camp.

The other one does. I don't think Edy missions give anything, but the Selvaria DLC gives a crazy OP machinegun for SCOUTS.

Fix. If Scouts could equip the Ruhm the game would be broken beyond believe.

Well, I never tried out the Ruhm, just recalled it being a Scout weapon.

So, it's ok to do some skirmish missions to level up an extra bit (the game itself says so) but it's better to leave the two dlc side missions for after the main campaign, is that right? My cautious playstyl won't award me with lots of xp in this game but I don't want to overpower myself...

“During its first 24 hours on sale, blew all forecasts and predictions out of the water. The award-winning Strategy RPG, originally released in 2008 for PlayStation 3, forced its way to the top of the Steam download charts, beating a host of brand new games to reach number one,” Sega said.

Sega Europe’s senior VP of commercial publishing John Clark added: “We would like to take this opportunity to thank all the fans for their support in the phenomenal success of this launch. We’re also delighted at the response from the Steam community which indicates that newcomers to the series are finding it as enchanting and engaging as those who have played it before.”

 

[Perkel]

yes. Those Edy detachment isn't really something you need to skip for now though.
Behind blue flame is the one you want to play after mc.

As of grinding. In my first play-trough i didn't grind. Just did most of missions. After you beat game you can play new game + and tackle on extreme mode and grind your way all you want.

Bwaaa, it requires 1gb of video memory and shader 4.0 to run, which disqualifies my shitty laptop.

Let's hope they now put proper VC1 sequel developement. It should be quite cheap considering they already have great engine (canvass) and their art doesn't really need anything more (than just new assets and few touches). They should though officially say that VC2 and 3 are non cannon and release VC2 without consideration of VC2-3 systems.

As of era there are two interesting plot points anchors. W1 and "Darkscen Calamity". Get good writers and improve size of battles from those in VC1 without including new classes (like fucking fencers...) instead focus on gameplay and playtest that shit to oblivion because that is why VC1 battles are better than in for example VC2.


edit:

Also interesting thing; Steam charts are not by number sold but by revenue. Which means it earned more than Unity and COD on Steam for SEGA. Also it doesn't count places that sale keys like GMG from which ton of people bought it.

Which means it is pretty safe to say SEGA is bankrolling on it.

torrent it and check it out first then. People play it on some really shitty laptops and apparently game even supports something like 320x240

Nah, checked with MSI Afterburner. It's a D3D9 (Shader 3.0) game and uses around 300-400MB VRAM with 1440p resolution.

 

[GarfunkeL]

Huh. Thanks for the information!

 

[Cromwell]

So it runs without problems, and even runs on very shitty laptops. So its a very very good port then? Is it good with mouse and keyboard or should one use the pad?

There's no guarantee for that, ergo torrent it first. Doesn't support Windows XP.

M/KB controls are fine. Not as convenient as the gamepad, but fine.

 

[Perkel]

if you have pad, use pad. K/m support isn't fucked up, just different. If you have shitty rig torrent it first

 

[Luka-boy]

It's pretty good. Not perfect, but way above what we usually get from the Japanese and better than even many Western ports.

Is it good with mouse and keyboard or should one use the pad?

I'm playing it with K&M and it feels really good.You can't use the mouse in some menus, though, but that's a minor thing when the meat of the game is the tactical combat.

 

[SuicideBunny]

So its a very very good port then?

the menues are a bit laggy, and the config tool using fullscreen is weird, but otherwise damn solid port

Is it good with mouse and keyboard or should one use the pad?

use pad. it's just weird to have obviously consolised controls force mapped to m&k.

 

[Abu Antar]

Now give me the translated Yakuza games so I can replay them on PC.

 

[Perkel]

About to try first time Mission 7. Known as "battle of tears"

Grinding skirmish will only give XP and money. XP isn't too overpowering in moderate amounts (there is one class upgrade level which is a big boost, but you get it pretty soon anyway), and the money only lets upgrade stuff that is unlocked as you progress the story.

The DLC unlocks mega-powerful weapons that are competitive with the endgame weapons of the campaign, so getting them early will ruin balance.

 

[Perkel]

Mission 7 DONE !


...


Jane and the other guy. You will be remembered.

 

[abnaxus]

Replay that mission. Jane is fuckin awesome.

 

[Corporate_Jew_Master]

Vyse and Malville ;_;7

They held the line. ;_;7
