It's a strategy RPG for 360. It's set in WWII and deals with Nazi zombies and vampires.
It's actually pretty difficult in comparison to games like Fire Emblem, but it's not the sort of bullshit difficulty that Advance Wars pulls.
Does anyone have this game? I'd really like to play online co-op with someone.
Let's say there was a bad ending, a good ending, and a great ending in a game. It was possible to reach the first two endings no matter what you do, but there were "unwinnable" situations where it was impossible to reach the great ending. Would that seem fair to you?
Care for giving some examples?
So like, what? The game reputably has 3 endings, but its impossible to get the "best" ending. Wouldn't that just mean it has two endings?
Or do you mean its incredibly hard to get the best ending? Almost to the point that it seems impossible?
>>7 is a fake. Steam doesn't distribute BF2, don't risk losing your steam account.
Back on topic. Yes, there are some games. I remember Fahrenheit's "Neutral" ending required a lot of different conditions throught the game, all linked and necessary to unlock the ending.
And that's not mentioning S.T.A.L.K.E.R's true ending. There are 7 "fake" endings, but reaching the 2 "true" endings requires retracing your steps to the beginning and playing an extra two levels full to the brim with exo-warriors.
But still, for me, it was worth it.
>>6 That's not even close to what I mean. Remember those text adventure games where they often had unwinnable situations? It's like that, except it only applies to the best ending. If you make a mistake, you'll have to start over if you want the best ending, but you can get the other endings without starting over.
so like in Disgaea, where you couldn't get the best ending unless you didn't accidentally kill a teammate? Once you did, you couldsn't get the good ending that time around.
The first thing that popped into my mind was Cave Story.
Once you miss getting the tow rope, you can't get the best ending anymore. Even if you did get the tow rope, if you miss jumping out of the water to get to the door while carrying the girl, she dies and you can't get the good end anymore.
How I hated that part so much, it's really hard to jump at the right time onto that door.
>>12 I got the rope, entered the room, and revived her, but still couldn't go into the house at the end for the best ending.
After beating a majority of the game without the booster, I was kinda pissed that all of a sudden I couldn't get the ending.
No more heroes
I like how its a satire on "EPIC" plots in general not just games.
But I still consider Killer7 as a better game despite the change from its original script . Cant wait for
Flower, Sun and Rain in October so I can get some sort of understanding of his Kill the Past series.
Bahamut Lagoon on the SNES. Its so easy to break the game near the end. First off, one of your dragon's get infinite HP if you raise it right, and then when you can afford it, buy as many Magic Gins you can buy. Theres no penalty for using items, cause its not turn based, so if you run out of mana, just refill it and blast away in th same turn.
Also the princess is a whore.
Beat No More Heroes on Bitter (New Game +) today.
Funny thing about this game is that even on the hardest difficulty, the final boss isn't that tough -- it just takes FOREVER to beat him.
butcher bay and dark athena. less then a day for each.
I just bought Blacksite Area 51 the other day for tenbux, and beat it over the weekend. Ahh, I like a quick FPS every once in a while to relieve me from my RPGs.
Gotta say though, it was a buggy game. Be it mixed up event triggers, spawning with only one weapon, sounds not loading, or falling through the level - it'll be a while before I plan on picking it up again. Nothing to do after the game is done, either. Weren't that many diff kinds of enemies, and only a few different kinds of guns.
Add to that - The main "villain" was exactly a bad guy. I mean, one of your "teammates" basically tortured him for 3 years. He sais during the last battle "She kept me in a cage!" At the end map, she complains that the black siteprogram had full funding, no oversite, "nobody to tell them it was torture." I seriously wanted to turn to her and be like, "Are you fuckin' serious?"
Also, finished Assassin's Creed. I really liked the game, though by the end of it I avoided all the save the citizens missions and the informer missions... DAMN YOU NON-CONCLUDING ENDINGS! DAMN YOU TO HELL!
Geneforge. Its not so much a game as a story. Its fun to be comepletely evil too. Damn rogue serviles. They must follow the will of the Shapers!
Finally finished Legend of Zelda: Phantom Hourglass.
Overall I was left with a feeling that I had spent my time well. I never thought I was travelling around for no reason or wasting time. I wasn't as annoyed with the Ocean King's Temple as other people seemed to be, and actually was impressd with the last few floors because of how hard they were, and then how easy they became with all the items.
Still unsure if I'm going to get Spirit Tracks. From the looks of it, though, it looks like it's not a continuation of phantom hourglass, so the story could be good.
Just finished Banjo Tooie on XBLA.
Never beat it as a kid so beating it now was awesome, Now just Grunty's revenge to beat and I can say i have beat all the banjo games
Just finisehd Disgaea 3. When I was fooling around in the Item World for a while, I inadvertently leveled up this totally awesome sword as well as Mao, thus rendering the rest of the story mode quite simple. I enjoyed the story, and all the new mechanics seem really well balanced. Tons of col features, and the ending is funny and disturbing... Poor Last Boss...
I had fun.
I just beat Soul Nomad & The World Eaters. It was a good game - tons of voice acting, hilarious characters, fun mechanics, easy min/maxing. And some plot twists that I sriously did not see coming at all. About halfway through the game I realised that use one squad was better than using many, had a 7 square squad filled with my hero in front, three archers in the middle, and two pyremages and a cleric in the back. I was simply untouchable. I was kinda lucky as that squad landed in a Hades room. that means, the more I use that squad on a map, the stronger they become until their stats double. 8000 potentiality squads would get annihilated in one hit. glorious. And how did such a badass game have such a happy ending? Demon path next.
There was a thread like this in /anime/ and, although it seems to have died from lack of interest, I liked it. Let's try it here.
For instance, assuming >>0's favorite is THE GAME: What fun is a game that can't be won? Also, you just lost it.
My favorite: Metal Gear Solid 3
No protracted arguments in this thread please, just keep it going.
some of the monsters look really gay
Dead Space
didnt scare me at all for a horror game
Shadow of the Colossus
You should be able to squash those dudes at the end, but NOOOOO
Soul Nomad & The World Eaters
lol antialiasing? What's that?
Donkey Kong '94
Breaking your leg when you fall from really high, and while recovering from that, something comes and kills you.
Golden Eye
The paintball gun is totally retarded
TES III: Morrowind
Everyone actually likes Oblivion better, but they lie about it to seem more "hardcore."
Dragon Warrior IV
Accents - especially the russian ones. You're supposed to make them SOUND russian, not just be bad at english.
Nox
It's 2000. Adventure games are dead. Move on.
River City Ransom
Guy 1:Damn, I want to keep making games, but I don't have any original ideas, or art!
Guy 2:Not a problem - you can rip off Double Dragon AND use all the art you made for that dodgeball game!
Guy 1:Brilliant!
Shin Megami Tensei
fuckin' monster hunter freedom 2 gets me :/
im stuck with congalala, fuckin ape just won't die :(
Fuckin' Prinny: Can I Really Be the Hero? is kicking my ass.
I died oh so many times before I said "fuck it" and gave up.
Final Fantasy XII - that "tree dragon" kinda boss after you chat it up with the vierra. I know it's optionalish, but dammit, I'm not going the long way around. It sleeps, confuses, darkness, a bunch of other things, and it spawns evil minions. I HATE YOU.
Only tried the mission once, but the current one I'm on in Prototype is pretty tough. You have to steal an APC to disguise as a military CO and then destroy all their Spectre vehicles around an infected hive - really tricky because every military unit within a two mile radius has a grenade launcher and an itchy trigger finger.
I've gotten stuck on Half life 2 more times than I can count. So I have to get a car battery, fair enough. Hidden ladder you say? Hm ok.
Persona 3. I've pretty much just gotten to Harabah, and with Mitsuru taking a break due to spoi-spoi-spoilers and random enemies with high-chance instant kills, its pretty annoying.
Who else cried in MGS3? I mean the game was so damn epic. My favorite game. The ending was so sad. I love it.
Me too. I just wish there would be more games with Big Boss as a protagonist.
I have all the games except MGS4 and Portable Ops. Looking forward for Peace Walker. Rising isn't really a stealth game, but I might get it if I want to experience mutiliation action with the sword of Raiden.
" Life's end...
Isn't it beautiful? It's almost tragic. When life ends, it gives off a final lingering aroma. Light is but a farewell gift from the darkness to those on their way to die. I've been waiting, Snake, for a long time. Waiting for your birth, your growth, and the finality of today."
I started really melancholic and ..
"Look at this scar. This is proof that I was once a mother. I gave up my body and my child for my country. There is nothing left inside me now. Nothing at all. No hatred, not even regret. And yet sometimes at night I can still feel the pain creeping up inside me. Slithering through my body, like a snake."
It was here i started bawling, her end speech is brilliant,painfull and so full of sadness. What follows next (spoiler);
deathscene and she keeps saying :" do it!"...aah
Best series ever... This game deserves a grammy award.
I know http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Non-H_visual_novels_available_in_English has some non-h visual novels, but it's obvious that doesn't cover all of them.
Would it be alright if you all can post some links to some non-h visual novels? I've never really gotten heavily into visual novels, but I'm really interested. Sadly, the only one I've ever gotten to play was a game called Time Hollow for the DS (or is it considered a VN?)
Here is a link to a group who translates a bunch of VN's, some of which are non-h and some that aren't:
http://insani.org/projects.html
Anyway, thank you for your time. I can't wait to see your suggestions.
uh hey - Manga and Literature are THATAWAY

< -He was being a dickhead, implying that Visual Novels are a cross between books and manga and therefore not real games. He is wrong and a fucktard.
Narcissu would be the best that comes to my mind, but it is included in the insani projects.
Ok, I play WOW and I've found that DCing happens alot when you play in a realm well populated {AKA Aggramar} Please tell my I'm not the only one who get's pissed when they dc and log on DEAD!!
IT SUCKZ!! DX
I've often heard that the PS3's online capabilities are far inferior to the ones of the 360.
But what exactly are the differences? I'm planning on buying a PS3 soon, but I'm not sure if it'll be of any good use if I want to play online.
Halp. x3
I've never had any problems with playing online with the PS3, that's for sure.
Personally, I think both are about the same. Those who tell you otherwise, are just fanboys defending their console.
>>3
I agree
The only difference I see between the two is that PS3's online is free where as in the 360's you have to pay for Xbox Live!
Live has Gamer Score and I think that's about all it has going for it as extra. PSN has trophies and shit for games you play. So I'd say they are pretty much the same thing.
I'm about to finish Final Fantasy VIII...just about to finish up disc 3 and am levelling with them stat bonuses now. It's getting abit boring so my thoughts have drifted to another FF...
FFVI
The classic SNES FF, but if I play it it'll be on the GBA
FFVII
a dude with a big sword and another with an even bigger one.
FFIX
monkey boy...incidentally, i ALWAYS rename Zidane. somehow i don't feel comfortable with the hero of a FF game having the same name as a French footballing legend.
Voting begins now!
I vote for IX. It could always use a little more love.
VI cause the other two fucking suck.
The GBA translation is a little different from the original SNES version, but over all its the same.
IX
best FF ever. Prove me wrong.
>4
That's not VI!
Play SaGa Frontier instead.
I vote not FFVII. That shit is completely overrated.
Play IX. The best.
