Hey, I'm good at killing myself to die!~ Er, wat.

Ok, so it hasn't actually been fatal since way back when I only had three balls of Solar Energy and I thought it would be fun for Ammy to take a swim but yeah I'm good at in falling holes from failed jumping and blossom crossing attempts, etc

No, wait there was also that thing with the tree earlier on too <_<

Thanks for the advice Meeple, I am in the Moon Cave now =) I don't know why I thought this game would be short!~

I like Caius in Augusta Towers and the story about him and the warrior and how he got the name Ballad, also though I think I might just have a thing for Liam O'Brien so I hope he's in Lightning Returns >_>

Tide, by completing ToGF does that mean you did everything, like future arc and getting "Accel" mode, Richard as a PC again, roleplaying dolls, etc and cleared all of the Zhonecage and the upgraded super version of the final boss too? I thoroughly recommend it if not because stuffs like Accel modes really switch up battle dynamics a lot =) Did you finish up on Chaos mode as well? I really liked with ToGF how unlike with SO3 you could upgrade the difficulty to different modes during your current file and eventually to max straight away just as soon as you had unlocked it even though it was just your first file~

Falling in holes doesn't count as dying in Okami. I think it's only a bit of damage and a respawning a little back like Zelda games? In any event, when I talk about dying, I mean "Health = 0"

Injustice: Tried out the online yesterday. Wow it's horrible. Worst online in any fighting game I've seen. Yeah that's right it's worse than first build Marvel vs Capcom 3. So much lag.

BL2: Raiding the Hyperion company town. SO MANY ROBOTS. I did finally get a corrosive sniper rifle, but it's underpowered and really not doing the trick here. Got a badass 3x3000 rocket launcher from a SHIFT promo code a few days ago, maybe I'll switch to primarily using that and just burn money on ammo. Or I could throw money at Moxxi until she gives me that corrosive SMG.

Kid Icarus Uprising: My 3.5 melee/ranged starred End-All Arm kills all the bosses before the dialogue plays, the folly of no health bars. Also Hades needs more lines, he is swagmaster.

Bioshock Infinite: Possession I've found is pretty good for getting people to stop shooting me and shoot someone else, but I must incorporate the charge vigor as it is the greatest move.

Mario Kart Wii- Been playing this. What the hell to not being able to jump.

Dark Holy Elf · « **Reply #1581 on:** June 18, 2013, 07:49:39 PM »

You couldn't jump in Double Dash either and that didn't stop that game from being good! (Overall I like jumping but it's not especially necessary, and I think SMK is the only game which had track design significantly encourage it.)

Upgrade it so you can play as a Vanguard.

XCOM: Finished. Climatic ending:
*Assault enters the last room*
Final boss: I am the alpha and omega... *summons a few high level monsters*
*Sniper: Headshot, double tap, regular attack, boss dies*

Yeah so XCOM was decent but I'm disappointed.
For all that this and FE are very different, they're good for the same reason, because the game goes player phase / enemy phase / player phase instead of Random/CTB like Shining Force or FFT.
You get that moment where you see 5 enemies, you can move any allies anyway you want, and the goal is to find the tactic with the lowest % chance anyone of your characters dies. I like that.

The game wastes 70% of your time moving allies in a small group from point A to point B without fighting enemies. This ruins the game. It needs to be mentioned again. Having to move every ally across the map in FE is annoying enough, but this is ten times. It is more boring that Glass Pumpking farming in TO.

Classic/Impossible mode look really fun at times, but a higher difficulty level means having to be even more careful and wasting even more time.
So nope.

The macro gestion level was interesting, even if a bit unbalanced. The early/midgame taunts you with way too many things to spend money on and not enough money, even starting in Africa.
The choices are pretty interesting. I think I made the best ones: Go for satellites all the time. Forget about them for 5 minutes and upgrade armor for everyone as soon as better armor becomes available. Try to find a balance between them and new weapons.

FFD - Finished! Final boss wasn't too hard, but I had some trouble with at least one boss before him. Plot twist ending lulz!! Fun game, people with iOS should try it if they are in the mood for a little old school gaming with some modern conventions(save points, shops in more convenient places, warp points).

FF13-2: Also finished. Holy fuck that final boss was a bitch. I did pretty much the bare minimum of stuff, got 34 fragments? Had to leave and get about 300 extra HP which made all the difference. Ended up with 38 or 39 fragments due to grabbing a few for free EXPs. Highlights of the game are Mog and listening to Super weep about Chocolina.

FF5 - Started the 4JF with a black mage army. Not as kawaii as Vivi though.

FF5 on iOS or emulated somehow? Because you know, iOS version not so bad.

Tales of Eternia: been poking at this for a while when there was an LP going on. Never finished it before. Currently on Disc 3. The end of the world is nigh! Only three Suom until the planets collide! Plenty of time to wander around finishing side quests, I assume? How long is a fucking Suom?

The LP is great. It makes the game seem a lot better than it is.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #1588 on:** June 19, 2013, 05:17:45 PM »

I already own two versions of FF5! Playing GBA version.

Shale · « **Reply #1589 on:** June 19, 2013, 05:59:41 PM »

Borderlands: Okay I'm finished Opportunity and never ever going back. Although looking ahead in the walkthrough I am now absolutely terrified of Hero's Pass because it is apparently worse than this place, which is already "take three steps, fight six waves of 20 engineers and robots each."

Grefter · « **Reply #1590 on:** June 19, 2013, 09:42:01 PM »

FF5 is the FF I won't dis owning multiple copies of.

FF5 - I got Blue Mage.

If the world map had a "this is the next dungeon or town you need to go to!" dot I would say it is the idea FF for a phone. I'm not required, or even expected, to be invested in the characters, plot or game world. It's just something I can take out and dick around with in 15-minute chunks while I'm waiting on the bus or heating my oven or whatever. The only problem is not always remembering what happened last.

Grefter · « **Reply #1592 on:** June 19, 2013, 10:26:19 PM »

And that is why I pimp FF Dimensions, because that is exactly what it is.

FF3 PSP:

Morto, Morta, Yattaf and Mortes are the four warriors of light.
Three of them get eaten by a werewolf.

FF3 gives a lot of goodies at you early on. Including: A bow, holy arrows and 2000G (wooden arrows costing 4G each)
Storebought potions/antidotes + holy arrows kick the crap out of the western tower, and get Yattaf one level per fight + one kickass sword.
I actually never end up using that sword because holy arrows are that good. I fly through the Djinn cave because I don't want to have a lot of levels as a crappy freelancer and holy arrows don't grow on trees.

Djinn: "Ohcrap I still have Autobattle on" (this already has and will cause a lot of trouble). So Yattaf hits him with a physical while he started doing mass damage. Of course he then dies to a single Antartic Wind. Whatever. Level 11.

CLASS CHANGE.
Choice.

lol

Monks get the highest Hp growth, HP being the only relevant stat at levelup. In a solo (=overleveled) game their attacks scale better than any sword. (Probably) Counter is sick solo, as it counters any physical with a 2x power attack, and can work multiple times per round.
Going back to the djinn cave to get the remaining treasures gives me all the levels I need for the next stretch of the game.
At that point I get 99 potions.

Bahamut: Mortes, Morto and Morta came back from the dead for the noble purpose of fleeing from the fight. Then got eaten by a werewolf again.

Black wizard or Red Wizard for the rat cave? Red Wizard is more convenient since he has Mini, but I don't want to nerf myself in that hellish dungeon.
Giant rat: It always does at least one physical / round, and its physical does 20 damage to my back row mage. (who has 380 HP) Fire spells hurt a bit more, but three Thundaras kill the rat.

Game flies by amazingly fast. Yattaf punches things and drinks potions. No problem.

Donkey Kong Country Returns: I beat a weird Dinosaur thing that breathes fire. Seriously, I don't know what that was, but I am on World 7.

Chronicles of Mystara: Played Shadow Over Mystara as a Fighter, and part of Tower of Doom as a Dwarf.

Shadow Over Mystara remains a damn fine game, I don't think anyone is surprised, and Fighter is probably one of the more boring characters in the game! Tower of Doom...feels very generic in comparison. It's not bad, but Shadow Over Mystara is a significant improvement over it's predecessor.

People need to buy the compilation in any event because seriously, SHADOW OVER MYSTARA IS ON AN ACTUAL CONSOLE NOW.

DjinnAndTonic · « **Reply #1595 on:** June 20, 2013, 02:28:48 AM »

Oh, Okay, the D&D Beat'em up. That's all you had to say, man. I didn't know those things even -had- subtitles...

BTW, the english release will be a watered down version done by an alternate team, while the original crew will be working on the Japanese retail copy that is the complete version. Don't ask me why Capcom think this is a good idea.

I dunno, he actually (FFXIII-2 ending SPOILERS! and stuff) succeeds in destroying the world/remaking it anew/whatever it was he was trying to do, that's how the game ends with his plan fulfilled and it was a motivation that worked apparently. Although I'm not entirely convinced there wasn't someone pulling his strings there, since in the ending Yuel doesn't seem all too bothered about what he has done to everything and in the Lightning and Snow DLC she's as creepy as hell. I'm still half convinced Etro is the villain like Fang says she's a cruel Goddess and all, either that or there is another god behind Caius, he says Lightning is the pawn of Etro but who's he the pawn of hmmm. Also I don't think everyone was killed exactly in the end by destroying the world rather Chaos came and reshaped everything, not quite sure how that's supposed to work but apparently all death is ended or something, I'm not quite sure about the suffering apart along with of ending all death and suffering though because Lightning Returns~ Anyway for FFXIII-2 in itself the game ends with the end of the world and the playable/main heroine of the game dead, no wonder people were/are pissed off~

fal'Cie=Etro is not cruel but stupid. As in insufferably and irrevocably stupid.
String pulling? Maybe. There is that monster behind the chaos that appeared in the vision fal'Cie=Cactaur showed to Snow.
On the other hand, I do feel Yuel is innocent in all this, with Snow as her last hope.
I was also under the impression that fal'Cie=Pulse and fal'Cie=Lindze let the events in FF13-2 happened on purpose, knowing that'll open up the path to Invisible World for them to complete their focus.
