Shin Megami Tensei: Strange Journey, 8/10

Fenrir · « **Reply #401 on:** August 20, 2011, 03:52:43 AM »

Any way to get my "less impressive than Gourry's" RPG rating list from the depths of archive hell ? I can't start over. I bet there are more than five games on that list I've completed and forgotten everything about.

Fenrir · « **Reply #402 on:** August 21, 2011, 01:27:28 PM »

Guess not.
I'll do a quick summary:

10/10
Shin Megami Tensei Nocturne

0/10
Phantasy Star III

PS3 is too high. And no idea if anyone archived the old topic.

Talaysen · « **Reply #404 on:** August 21, 2011, 08:51:47 PM »

Added Breath of Death VII at a 9/10.
Added Cthulhu Saves the World at a 10/10.

Fenrir · « **Reply #405 on:** August 25, 2011, 02:50:23 PM »

I actually finished Phantasy Star III two or three years ago, and it made me want to replay Drakkhen and Super Hydlide instead. No jokes.
Chaotic mess > Pure dread in videogame form.

I'll try to write a new list when I get the time.

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #406 on:** August 25, 2011, 07:33:21 PM »

Final Fantasy 13 added at a (high) 9/10.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #407 on:** August 25, 2011, 09:33:45 PM »

Moved Wild Arms XF up to a 9/10. The replay really emphasized its strengths and downplayed its weaknesses (like the terrible puzzle maps). It's just very replayable and I appreciate that. Also hexes.

Fenrir · « **Reply #408 on:** August 27, 2011, 05:14:17 AM »

This took two hours to make. Seriously. A moment of silence for all those weird crappy NES games I've forgotten.
I haven't finished starred games. (but I've played enough)

8-10/10: Thinking about these games makes me smile.
5-7/10: Definitely worth playing once.
3-4/10: Playable but boring.
0-2/10: All these games bring bad memories back. No exceptions.

There is not a single Glory of Heracles game on there. Let us all shed a single tear in passing.

Twilkitri · « **Reply #410 on:** August 27, 2011, 10:23:16 AM »

Looks like I somehow forgot to rate DQ4DS way back when.

Added Dragon Quest: The Chapters Of The Chosen at 7/10.
Added Dragon Quest: The Hand Of The Heavenly Bride at 8/10.

Fenrir · « **Reply #411 on:** August 28, 2011, 03:56:00 AM »

God created Glory of Heracles III, as an answer to the question "Can God create a video game so forgettable that even he cannot remember it?"
I may have beaten it but I've forgotten everything about it.

Added Infinite Space at 4/10. It was an interesting game with a somewhat interesting story that focused on space exploration / political conflict, and gameplay that was 100% BS. Probably a really awesome game for whoever likes RPG plots and doesn't mind that.

And here are my MMO ratings:

Ragnarok Online: 3/10 (+1 for christmas events)
Shin Megami Tensei Online Imagine: 2/10
Maple Story: 1/10

Fuck MMORPGs.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #412 on:** August 28, 2011, 05:05:59 AM »

Heh. What server did you play on for Maple and when?

Fenrir · « **Reply #413 on:** August 28, 2011, 05:50:26 AM »

Regular normal server, three years ago. I played as an archer.

I'm going to list everything that went wrong:

The community was a lot more unfriendly than in both other MMORPGs, it was as much of a grind with nothing worthwhile ever happenning, sidequests sucked, the world was confusing for no reason and had no unity (maps seemed crammed together randomly), and the platforming element, which was the most interesting part of the game as far as I'm concerned, didn't ever make the game less monotonous.

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #414 on:** August 28, 2011, 06:19:21 AM »

Three years ago, so... the European server? I played heavily from 2006-2008, and Europe still played on MapleGlobal until I think mid/late-2007 when they set up a Euro server and forced all new Euro accounts onto that one. Was on Windia, if you were on Global.

And fair enough on the criticisms. It's not until you get to third job that both the platforming, skills and monsters become relevant. Getting there back then was a sloggy grindy grind. Trust me, I know. I got to level 9x before 2x Exp cards came out. Luckily I just found an awesome guild of people who made the game worth playing. Stopped when that fell apart, was a level 137 Marksman (X-Bow 4th Job) when I stopped.

Fenrir · « **Reply #415 on:** August 30, 2011, 03:35:51 AM »

Yeah, I stopped around level... 40? Which doesn't sound that far from the third job, but actually really is of course.

Monkeyfinger · « **Reply #416 on:** August 30, 2011, 07:44:45 AM »

It's nice to see another list with filled-out bottom sections. Seeing lists where 90% of the games are 5/10 or higher gets tiresome.

jsh357 · « **Reply #417 on:** September 21, 2011, 08:54:47 PM »

FF4: The After Years - 7/10
Much better game than I ever would have guessed, but it's still pretty darn tedious.

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #418 on:** September 23, 2011, 01:08:41 AM »

Added Cthulhu Saves the World, Pokémon Black/White, and Final Fantasy Tactics A2 at 7/10
Also added Ar tonelico: Melody of Elemia at 6/10

superaielman · « **Reply #419 on:** September 30, 2011, 05:28:10 PM »

Breath of death added at 7/10
Wizardry 5 added at 5/10

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #420 on:** October 10, 2011, 07:02:04 AM »

Added Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 2 Innocent Sin at 8/10.

Fenrir · « **Reply #421 on:** October 22, 2011, 11:29:25 PM »

Infinite Undiscovery: 5/10, the most enjoyable game with awful execution.
Radiant Historia: 6/10, decent but there's nothing amazing here.
Dungeon Siege 3: 7/10, a perfect couch co-op game that probably rapes the other games in the series but I don't care.
Demons's Souls: 9/10
Dark Souls: 10/10, so good and rewarding it made punishing difficulty mainstream in 2009/2011.
Demon has better multiplayer while Dark has better singleplayer and is more balanced.

Good games. Ratings are too high so I'm going on a strike:

Lost Odyssey down to 5/10, I gave too much credit to the dream sequences.
Kingdom Hearts 2 down to 4/10, it's like Infinite Undiscovery with Disney characters and songs + Nomura. Might deserve 3/10
Tactics Ogre Gaiden down to 4/10. Yep.

jsh357 · « **Reply #422 on:** October 23, 2011, 05:20:31 AM »

Xenoblade: 8/10
Massively over-bloated but damn if I didn't have fun for 100 hours. Amazing music

Cmdr_King · « **Reply #423 on:** November 27, 2011, 09:56:13 PM »

Added Breath of Death VII: The Beginning at 6/10

Hunter Sopko · « **Reply #424 on:** November 28, 2011, 10:20:01 AM »

Adding Kingdom Hearts: Birth By Sleep at 7/10
Adding Pokemon Black at 6/10
Moving Pokemon Soul Silver up to 7/10

EDIT: Added Koudelka at 9/10
