Games The RPG thread

[BobobVanBlob]

A new Dark Souls trailer is up:

One of the reasons I love this game : The developers wanted to make sense, it's set in a medieval fantasy environment, and the dialogues are in English, which I find great for immersion. Most of the time you get horrible voice acting or stuff when you get a localized game and well they took the risk (for their market, the Japanese one) to make it an all English-speaking (with subtitles) game. I just loved that simple fact.

Btw, I finally finished it and went in NG+ got to Blightown and then I remembered : "Curse Blightown, I'm going to skip it thanks to my super Master key" and then I fell off a ledge...

Just because of Blightown I will enjoy annihilating Quelaag... And Gwyn was my biggest disappointment, being like "WELCOME TO DARK SOULS B*TCH !" and jumping 50 meters toward me, just to get a parry riposte was... surprisingly, easy ?

Spoiler: The final Boss in a nutshell

The gif isn't mine, but damn it felt so good to parry that first attack !

Why is, in persona 4 golden, the song Heaven so amazing. Best song in a dungeon.

 

[riki]

Persona music is always amazing

Oh, here is some tidbits about Bravely Default.

Here is a clip showing the unboxing of the Tales of Symphonia Chronicles Collector's Edition:

I hope Persona 5 will be in tone to persona 3 and ditch the small dungeons. I liked the hundred floors dungeon of Tartar Sauce.

Red is a nice change of colour for the series, that at least means it wont be excessively happy like p4g.

ALso Im finally at december in p4g, please tell me Im close to end game?!

 

[riki]

Who did you rescue last?

 

[SharkBait]

The last event I did was seeing the bad endings and then identifying the one who did it. (oh accomplice ending is best ending).

 

[riki]

Well then, you can start New Game Plus and then refuse to help the culprit to get the Normal Ending or True Ending.

Woohoo! My Bravely Default CE just arrived~

 

[Jammin]

I'll be picking that up after I finish with the Elder Scrolls Online Beta. Which is what I've been playing this weekend.

 

[SharkBait]

Omg Maragaret's Social Link was intense requirements, all those fusions and then having to lvl up one or two of the persona just to get the skill. Trumpeter is even much lower skills than my >lvl80 persona (p4g).

Finished Persona 4 GOlden True Ending at 150hrs on this first playthrough. Way too easy game, Helel was really the only persona I needed with Salvation and the AI doing all the fighting. Fun game though. Going to Ni No Kuni tonight.

How did you manage to play an entire weekend?

How did you manage to play an entire weekend?

Figure of speech.

Logging in proved to be quite a challenge. Still got at least 4 hours in, mostly as a Destruction Mage. I'm honestly not sure what to think about the game now. It's really not an Elder Scrolls Game. At least not like Skyrim or Oblivion. The story and quest stuff is really high quality so that's cool. but the gameplay is iffy. More like a first person Diablo, than Skryim; both in combat and the restrictive class system.

It forces you to pick Wizard, Templar, Nightblade, or Warrior and once you do you have zero access to the other class abilities.

 

[TheBoss]

I wonder if we will see X this year, knowing God Takahashi, probably not =\
I hope I can at least get Xenoblade or Last Story in the meantime.

 

[Doraku]

Anyone here has played Bravely Default? I have it ordered already, but judging from early part of youtubers, I couldn't tell if it is a good game or not.

 

[riki]

I'm currently playing it right now. It's pretty good so far and is similar to the old-school FF games. Leveling up the jobs can be annoying though.

IMO it's much better to wait until it becomes easy. The higher levels of jobs are too time demanding otherwise.

Also yeah, good game but last hours were what seemed like SE trying to prolong the game with minimal costs

 

[riki]

Yeah, I heard that the last few chapters were tedious.

 

[Doraku]

I saw that they have features to skip the battles, that's the most important thing to me. It's not uncommon for RPG to be tedious, if that's the only major complain, I guess I could stand it.
