Hey
Got a bit of a problem. Got a $60 gift card for a gaming store, but for once I have NO idea what to buy... I'm an RPG fan, but I still enjoy other games. I'm willing to buy PS2/3, Wii, and DS.
Is there anything recent that's come out for those systems you guys would recommend? Or, more importantly, something coming out soon? I'm more or less debating whether to buy some highly overpriced new game for the ps3 or something, or try and scour around for some lost and forgotten titles I may have missed on the PS2? I was considering KH Re: Chain of memories, but decided I really didn't want to bother playing the same game just for some 3d and voices. Nothing highprofile I've seen lately really jumps out at me, and I'm hoping I've missed something good.
persona 4 is like persona 3. Same grinding dungeons,repetitive (after a while) annoying school sym (not my thing) BUT it has great characters, great story , touch bosses and the conversations are hilarious (it's pretty close to mature content(language-: shit,ass,dumbass,etc )
So if you were to choose a game, i would def choose persona 4(which i did^^)
hmm, I'll have to give that a look then.
Any other takers for a chance to shout out "buy this game!"
Alright, what the hell happened to the games industry. I've looked at all the recent games, and games coming out, and seriously, there's only Ar Tonelico 2 and Persona 4?
Really?
looks like Persona 4 will win out, but yeesh. I think I might finally be reaching my limit of just giving up and focusing completely on my retro collection...
>>6 lol i agree. The Next Gen is a joke (ps3,xbox,...) and the ps2's retro is pretty good. For now, i'm waiting till Patch 3 is out for Front Mission 5.
well, anyway, I picked up persona 4, really stoked that it comes with a cd of the soundtrack - i'm a nerd for those sorts of things. had some left over cash, so bought "tokobots plus" and "technic beat" on a lark.
I have to confess i never bought Persona 4, downloaded it and downloaded the soundtrack:). Last game i bought was MGS4 and what a disappointment that was:s. Just found out FFXIII's battlesystem is gonna be like FFXII, and that SUCKS ASS (i'll play a pirated a copy on the xbox , fuck buying)
funny - the battle system is one of my favourite parts of FFXII. I used to pirate PC games, but I don't really bother with that anymore. Modded my PSX but found out that i really didn't want to just have the burned copies.
Although I hear ya on prices these days. 59.99 for a ps3 game just irks my pocketbook.
although, back in the old days, Final Fantasy III was 120 bucks, so what can I say?
Hey, I managed to find a copy of the first Ar Tonelico for 20 bucks - kinda stoked about that. I always like 3D with 2d sprites. And I've heard the amount of innuendo in the game is hilariously huge.
>>11
cool, good going, although by reports the second game is a lot better than the first. i liked AT1 anyway, great setting - but the story/characters are kind of weak and the game is too easy.
some of the excessive innuendo was apparently added by the publisher in translation, by the way.
>>12 I've started to fall in love with games that are "too easy." I mean, yeah, sometimes I want a long-ish drawn out epic tale and some challenge, but lately now that I have less free time, a nice simple game sounds just about right. Also, that fact that it sounds like it doesn't take itself seriously is a plus to me. That was part of the magic of Earthbound, and that game rocked.
Although, we'll see if the innuendo comes off as humorous or shamefully tacked on.
We all know that lately game companies are running out of/too lazy to come up with original ideas for games and have been chugging remakes and sequels.
I say they should remake Super Smash TV
Internet's Defense.
Powers through the filth, only to
Find nothing to save
Advent Children wasn't THAT bad. I'm not so sure about Twin Snakes, though.
I really like FF7 Advent Children. It gave people exactly what they wanted - what's to complain about?
ff6 would be good :)
maybe, but unless they were going to jack it up to the level of Final Fantasy IV DS, I think I would prefer they leave it as it was on the SNES. It has a certain character there that would not be easily transferred.
I want FF7 Remake too!!! GYAAA! I want to see Aerith in Human-Mode, not Polygon-Mode! ARRRRRRGGGHHH!!!
I hate FFVII so much it hurts reading fanboys drooling over an hypothetical remake.
what did you not like about FFVII?
I agree, There has been a lot of DS remakes of the classic Final Fantasy games for the DS, and FFVI was probably the best Final Fantasy of all time, I'm definately looking forward to seeing how that turns out. But I do hope they retain those moments from the original that were omitted or changed in the GBA version. :)
Talk about LBP and if you have any Questions, ask please XD!
XD
So, you want to talk about it, but have nothing to say?
...
It was a good game, a pretty work of art to be played and observed. It is, however, on the easy side and really short. Even if you're not gonna spend the time to unlock everything and play with the level editor, its still worth playing.
playing it rightnow.
i just beat the game..
are they gonna release more levels anytime soon?
don't know. but there are some really cool levels people have created.
This is the 4-ch thread for the Shuffle! translation.
http://www.shii.org/translate/shuffle/
Go ahead and post. Name not required.
Thats it, I'm learning moon.
Problem is... Where to start.
Ok, if Helkin really is in japan, and really doesn't have internet, how did they tell everyone? With a long-distance call? And yeah, I don't trust anything that is said about Helkin, because nobody seems to know anything beyond the fact that they don't have internet. Helkin might have DIED for all we know. And waiting for one person to come back after so long is kind-of meaningless. I advise the contributors find someone to replace Helkin, and finnish the patch. Waiting for them is wasting time and money. Not to mention annying little rumors flying around. Does anyone agree with that? I personally think that Helkin gave up and didn't tell anyone about their failure.
u r right
I sure hope not.
I think that they will just put site back up with completed patch.
According to gamepatch the patch is completly finished already and has been for awhile. They (Gamepatch admin) just cant find Helkin who has the only copy of the finished patch.
wtf is going on with the site? Welcome to nginx! did lordi get bored and decide to reset the server? ugh i dunno. will this patch EVER get released? (I've been here for a few yesrs waiting now)
I too have been waiting for the patch for years. My patience wears thin as my copy of Shuffle! gathers dust. I think it'd be faster to just learn Japanese than too wait until it is released...
perhaps I'm old fashioned, but I've always noticed this topic and wondered why it even existed.
Why are you guys so hooked on the Shuffle! game anyway? once it's translated into english, you'll probably play it for like 2 hours, fap, and forget about it.
Shuffle is not really a game, its a visual novel, so its got a good 80+ hours to it.
The Shuffle Universe is unique and lovable, just watching the Anime or reading the manga you can enjoy it, but it was a game beforehand, the reason behind the success of Project-Navel(the company that made it) so naturally we would want to see it. Being a visual novel it is also timeless, it would still interest people in years to come just like books do!
One thing that interests me however is that they are translating the game into english (i've downloaded the first 3days which they released to prove it would work) and the text is english and voice (ofc) remains japanese. i would like to use that and see how much japanese i can figure out from playing it, with my own little guide to what it actually means. Great for learning Japanese(as mentioned above may actually be able to play game in japanese by the time it comes out though ^^)
They have made atleast 3 days into english and also uploaded the complete translation onto thier server, which died mere hours later, its possible some people out there hold a copy i assume but i doubt they will be sharing it even just for lack of knowing that its no-longer around. The server "died" and the files were lost, helkin remaining the only one with the translation. they reuploaded the alpha patch the last patch that the website runners actually had.
Wandering through my collection, I had the idea to see just how many games of recent systems I owned that I just haven't gotten around to playing yet. I had about 12 PS1 games, one ps3, like 20 ps2 games, and a couple Gamecube.
My most aggregious offences - I own the original Grandia and haven't even put it in my playstation. Also, I own Wild Arms 1 through 4, and I have Alter Code: F, and only played a tiny bit of the first one that i don't remember much of anyway.
So, come, denizens of shame, and confess your sins.
I bought Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance soon after it came out in the US, but when I got home I didn't have enough memory so it sat on my shelf for three years until I rediscovered and played it this summer.
>>6 I'm glad it had a happy ending after all.
many.. the problem is that i'm a collector and never could have time to play them all or even finish them... orz
Dino Crisis. Yeah.
Devil May Cry 1 and 2.
I suck, I'm stuck at the first boss in the 1. The 50 hz framerate makes it really unplayable though. That's not a game genre problem because I beat the shit out of everything in SotN.
I got the 2nd freely, as well as Zone of the Enders, as Project Zero and another I don't have the name of on me right now.
Oh wait, and Pitfall 3D. On Ps1. ...Yeah.
Didn't finish FFX-2, FFXII, didn't finish the subquests in FFX.
But it really was when I discovered emulation that I couldn't play until I finish the game I started anymore.
Air, Kanon, Clannad... still waiting for the translation teams to finish.
here's some more that I haven't played...
Dino Crisis (picked it up one day because i was feeling in a horror mood), Dark Cloud 2, Baiten Kaitos 1 and 2 (GC), Saiyuki: Journey West (PS1, was really happy I found this one day, Kagero: deception, Painkiller 1 , 1.5, and overdose...
more later!
>>8 yes, that's my problem as well. I try to console myself my saying that I'm preserving them for future generations.
well I own a ps3 with a few games. But I haven't played on it. I'm just using the ps3 to watch movies now.
Bad bargain my friends say :P
>>12 yeah ps3 sucks ass, worst buy ever=SHAME.
Persona 4 or P4. I've had a trauma from P3, coz my PS2 memorycard's system got error and my save game gone.. ALL GONE. Dammit, althought my brother's friend giving us a memorycard, but I still haunted by that incident. Arghh! \(>0<)/
yup, losing your data's a bitch.
I've just got a DSlite. :)
I like to play RPGs so I wondered if anycone can recommend me good RPGs for DS.
I've already the remakes of FF in mind and "The World Ends With You", too.
Any recommendations?
>>8 I hate you.
I want to like FFTA, but, goddamn the game is long. I mean, length is okay when you've got a killer plot (like FFT) that keeps you rearing to see what happens next, but with FFTA not only do I not get 3d rotatable, but it seems like I've got to go through like 10 battles before I get to see Ramza, oops, I mean Marche, do anything worth remembering.
I mean, i'm already tired of it and I've still got like 10 places to unlock... not to mention I've probably only finished about 120/300 missions.
once I finish it I'd rather gouge out my eyes than replay it.
I just got Dragon Quest IV... it's good. Definitely one of the better DS RPGs so far. Hopefully USA gets V and VI too.
dragon quest monsters joker
even if you don't like pokemon, its worth a shot
World Ends With you is awesome. FFTA2 is awesome. Etrian Odyssey II is awesome. Izuna 2 is awesome. Seconding all those.
Custom Robo Arena is more on the action/adventure side, but you have to go buy parts and customize your mech and it gets fairly detailed without drowning you in stats and minutiae. I'd say it ranks up there with Pokemon, half exploring, half strategy, but there's also the actual fighting -- it's very much action based, real time combat. I enjoyed it a whole lot.
Megaman Battle Network and Star Force are pretty fun action/adventure games, it runs up there with Pokemon too. There are RPG elements, but a lot of it revolves around real time action fights like Custom Robo.
Time Hollow is more a point-and-click adventure game, sorta like Phoenix Wright, but it's fun too. Definitely worth a try if you like text-based adventure games.

The more striking difference between Disgaea DS and PSP is that the DS port does not contain the bugs that the PSP version does. Disgaea players (with both systems and the PS2 game) would be more inclined to buy the DS version than the PSP version as they are both the same, but the DS version has more extras without the bugs.
Hmmm... I've been waiting for some new RPG game at DS. Waiting by playing RagnarokOnline DS, but it still in Japan, hoping they (ROM hacker) can translate the game faster (gosh... minimum time is 3 months! Damn [--']) So waiting English language RPG...
>>15
Bugs like graphics that don't completely suck, high quality music, full voice acting with language select, and diagonal throw?
>>17
Was talking about more serious game-killing bugs rather than features already experienced by PS2 players. Fail as troll.
Anyone play this game? or heard about it? DJ Max gameplay is similiar to DDR, GuitarHero and RockBand. I currently playing the first international release, and just cleared all the easy stage. Going to move to normal mode soon.
You mean similar to beatmania/IIDX?
Goddamn kids.
RAGE
I really like games where you get to create characters, but I don't know of many where you can do that.
My ideal one would be like the Sims but with fighting... mind you, I only have a PS2 and a DS.
Games I have with create a character (to some extent):
Sims 2
Mortal Kombat: Armageddon
Lego Star Wars II
Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure
Armored Core Nine Breaker
Armored Core Last Raven
RPG Maker 3
Phantasy Star Universe
Spore: Creatures
really? No ideas? come on!
patience
>>3 Cards?:s
The Great mountain
Zero-x Championship
The Great Battle
Domeroi
StarBurst
Chrichton
Castle chaster
Dancing Dancing X (ntsc)
Karu-ï (jap)
does disgaea count?
Soul Calibur 3 is pretty good. It's a fighting game with a character creation system. If you have either a Wii or Xbox 360, you should get Soul Calibur 4 instead. Really great game, I recommend it. :)
Sorry, I meant PS3 or Xbox 360. Soul Calibure 4 is not available on the Wii, sadly. Anyway, it's better than Mortal Kombat IMO.
Freespace 2 - It lets you customize your ship to a degree, not so much for custom freaks, sadly.
Custom Robo - It allows for alot of customization, but most of the customizations are weak, oddball or more of the same.
>>5
Disgaea's more of a grindan gaem. All characters, in the end, no matter what, will look, feel, act and play the same becoming damage dealers of death when complete. Customization only leads to the end goal of a maxed out character, and does not make it unique.
Too bad there aren't many Armored Core-like games out there on the net...

for me fallout 3 sucks because of 1 particular reason - bethesda dudes didn't release patch for their crappy crash of game... I didn't see even an intro... it just crashes after I click on new game... I can only imagine the atmosphere of that game because of the music that it has in main menu...
The Whore Scenario is quite pathetic, taking drugs gets boring and unnecessary and the game is quite easy
Try the mods.
I use Welcome to the Wasteland on Very Hard and it's a good deal more challenging. You really have to save your stimpaks and when you get a rad-away you treat it like gold because you really need it to survive with the increased radiation levels. Also ammo is a lot more scarce.
