Games The RPG thread

For the ps1 era, the game was legend of dragoon

<3 LoD is my favorite ps1 jrpg too.
Too bad its completely underrated, if they did a sequel or a remake to Ps3-4 or the Vita, I'd go crazy '-'
Though we all know that isnt happening

I wouldn't say it's underrated...a lot of people love it. But, even as a huge fan of the game I must admit, the story wasn't very engrossing and the magic side of the battle system was poor imo. Still...one of my favourite RPGs ever..I still play it over from time to time.

Just ended tales of xillia and IMO, it's a masterpiece.

LoD was not my favourite jrpg, at the time Final Fantasy was still too far ahead but suikoden 5 is well one of my top favorites on ps2 (along with grandia 2, valkyrie profile silmeria & star ocean till the end of time. And even if it disappointed me a lot due to high expectations, FF10 did age well). But for the ps3, Tales of Xillia is the best jrpg. It's not a piece of art like ni no kuni or a technical demo like FF13 but all in all, I enjoyed the game much more than I expected & probably more than those 2 powerhouses.

If only we could receive a new real Grandia ...

Altus is going to make a big announcement on Nov. 24th. Will they finally reveal Persona 5?

So for any strategy JRPG fans who aren't aware, and it's easy not to be due to how overshadowed it was by other games, Disgaea D2 comes out today.

Unlike the last three Disgaea games this installment is a sequel to the original game with Laharl, Etna, and Flonne and all the greatness that comes with them. Reviews are looking good so far and I can't wait to pick it up. Disgaea are one of those series that I can just play off an on for a year and love every second.

Sadly no, it was tempting, but I decided to go with the digital download version. I love being able to select stuff on the XMB and without putting any discs in.

Absolutely, can't wait to play it too.

There are already confirmed DLC characters too. Namely Fuuka, Desco (), Raspberyl, Adel, Rozalin, and Mao. Knowing the way NIS does things we can probably expect every other character in the history of the series too.

Tales of Symphonia Chronicles will have a Collector's Edition.

I'm currently discovering Dark Souls (steam sale ...) & even if the price is low, I already have regrets. This is really a niche kind of game. Graphics are 5 years old & gameplay is 15 years old. Ok, it's rewarding to beat something when it's not easy but the game feels so archaic. The beginning feels a lot like Vagrant Story (for those who remember that one). You're alone, with little to no explanation and there are monsters.

I can understand people who like this game but the interface & overall gameplay is just bad for me.

 

[kakashi919]

I for one don't care about graphics and the gameplay is identical to almost all ARPG around. The thing about Dark Souls is you can't just hack and slash your way through,actually have to use strategy and think. I've had almost 90 hours into the game before but didn't get very far lol,recently started again. The interface is kinda bad though...and not being able to pause the game kinda sucks. Not to mention there are a few glitches and the aiming is a bit sucky. The difficulty of the game makes you want to play it even more and makes you want to finish the game no matter how much times you've died. Oh,and you're already probably using a control, but just in case, keyboard and mouse is not good at all to play this game...I learnt that the hard way Also,the environment and setting of the game is very depressing and frustrating at times

Still love it though

 

[Shinsatsu]

Dark Souls is exactly my thing. I can speed run it in 30 - 45 minutes now I played it too much for my own good.
Can't wait for Dark Souls II <3

I'm the same way. Even though I'm not nearly that good. That freakin' flame guy down in the dark lava caverns place is the bain of my existence. It think he's seriously killed me 200 hundred times.

I love the game though. The sense of a accomplishment as you make it to places in the game you've never been before for the first time is so grand because it's so freakin' hard to get there.

Offtopic(kinda): I'm about to do some shameless series promotion, and I apologize for that, but it's for all of your own good!

There is a new Korean Webtoon called The Gamer. For anybody who likes JRPG's even a little bit, this is like the comic you've always dreamed of. As a personal favor to me, and to yourself, check it out; and if you like it (which you will) you can discuss it with us here.

Do you mean Ceaseless Discharge? I didn't think he was that difficult, just need to figure the trick.

In my opinion, the Souls series is the best Ps3 series, bar none. Not only the sense of accomplishment is unmatched, but the never ending sense of danger as well Never have I played a game that requires even half the amount of patience, strategy and observations as this one.

Ah yes, Ceaseless Discharge. There is no humiliation quite like getting repeatedly beat down by a boss whose name sounds like a horrifying description of severe diarrhea.

I think part of it was they way I built my character but I watched the youtube videos on how to beat him. So I know how it theoretically can be done, just could not do it.

 

[kakashi919]

The first time I played Dark Souls I thought the bow and arrow was useless, but now I know it's super helpful lol. Died quite a few times against the gargoyles the first time around, but now they were really easy ^_^ Plus I learned that the more humanity you have you get bonus stats >_<

Lol, always thought that name was weird.

Were you a Magician or something like that?

The Boss that truly gave me nightmares(an optional one), was the Stray Demon back when you return to the Asylum for the second time. I challenged this guy at around level 14 if I remember, and my attacks would take like 5 points of health out of 1000(as an example), and he can pretty much one-shot me. I'd fight this guy for days before I could kill him.
