Grandia 2 was published by Ubisoft? This explains so much why the ports for Grandia were so garbage and terrible.

I actually miss a quaint JRPG like this. It's been a long time since I've played a jrpg with the whole "the church/religion institution is evil!" trope, good times. 90s Games of that type (hell even 2000s games like FF10 and Symphonia) are literally decades old...

I'm loving the fact that dungeons so far are like 3 short screens, and then the boss battle of that dungeon. Nice and quick before the next story segment and town

This is so stupid if everyone just chose ally they'd be out of the place in just 3 rounds, no worse for wear.

I wonder if they're gonna pull a 999 and have the sweet and gentle innocent Luna actually be Zero the whole time

So far it seems they're playing it straight with Dio, the asshole actually is a bad guy and an asshole and a murderer.

You're only missing out on worse controls. Also SA1 has these hub world sections that you travel through as the different characters as opposed to just picking the next level on a map like in SA2.

I was wondering about that. The hub world feels... weird. Especially for a sonic game.

I mean, I personally never cared about HD. I was suckered at first by the idea of "photo realistic graphics that look almost real" and that kinda ridiculousness, but a lesson I learned after playing the garbage GTA 4 is that I just want a game to be fun.

It's perfectly acceptable to try to make your game have "a good story" and be all deep and meaningful and that BS, but if it gets in the way of fun, then instant hard pass.

I'll look at those walkthroughs if I get stuck. So far I've got a lot of different options and routes to go through, and definitely enjoying the game more than the first time I cracked it open. I think what happened is I got escape room fatigue from 999 and needed a couple of months before tackling VLR.

Dammit!

There's text I miss depending on when I betray or ally with someone in a save file!

If I chose to ally with Alice (who, by the way, freaking betrayed me the first time) and then save over my file, then go back to that same point using the flowchart and choose betray, she chooses ally for some reason, and Sigma already knows of the alternate reality where she chose betray and is similarly shocked at her choice.

But if I go back to a different save file, and choose betray for my first option, I get different dialogue from Alice and Sigma doesn't recall any alternate reality since it didn't happen yet.

Just something I was experimenting with a couple minutes ago. That means I could potentially miss out on dialogue throughout the game?

What the hell at Alice continually being murdered. Did we rescue her in 999 only for her to end up getting killed just like that.

I wanna play 999 again just to refresh myself what happened at the end there. I remember feeling like it ended right when I wanted to know more. And then VLR starts in a completely different scenario.

3 years sounds reasonable. ps3 was already the HD era, ps4 was even more HD, had enough of that. It's time they focus on actual gameplay performance and physics, stuff like no load times, greater enemies on screen, draw distance, rendering large open worlds with lots of stuff going on, from events to enemies to quests

I actually like the first one the most. Bloom Omen had more of a... castlevania, rpg-ish feel to it, like symphony of the night. With Kain you could turn into a bat, a wolf, mist... traversing the world was a lot more fun (yes, a big reason because nosgoth wasn't ruined yet)

I love Raziel, he's one of my favorite characters in gaming, but Soul Reaver 1 wasn't as fun as Blood Omen. It was more of an action adventure game where the puzzles where that gen 5 tedious block pushing variety of puzzles.

Soul Reaver 2 was better in terms of graphics and puzzles compared to 1.

Never bothered playing the last 2, I just youtubed the cutscenes since by that point the fantastic VA is really all I looked forward to in the series.

Reminds me how sad I was when tony jay passed away, whose work I knew before legacy of kain. Since then rene auberjonois has passed away as well, so there really will never be another kain game.

On sale on psn. It kind of looks like the old games and maybe the new spiderman, is the gameplay any good?

I perused some cutscenes and the voice acting is rather rubbish and the protagonist super annoying, which is to be expected since 1 and 2 weren't great in that regard but still unfortunate.

Just wanted to go through any games I missed during the ps4 era.

saspa
01/27/21 4:29:28 AM

Scrubs is one of the greatest shows of all time, I love it. Don't think there's a single character I disliked, not even the janitor

I've noticed a common trend where people never find the female characters funny. Similarly, I've noticed that writers tend to make female characters clumsy and prone to slapstick humor, if they're not the "mother" type character who reprimands the others for antics.

But humor is subjective, and I've always found Elliot and all the rest funny. One of my favorite things about Scrubs is the dynamic of the relationships between the characters, I can't think of a single show that does it better. It's not about one character being funny, they all work off each other spectacularly.

I can't remember which route I took but yeah Alice is dead and after the initial shock I'm like nah, it can't possibly be canon it's one of the bad endings, she's faking it like what happened in 999 right... right?

Betraying seems like a dick move but hold on... if one person gets 9, can't they just open the door with everyone present, and everyone quickly rushes out the door as soon as it opens, within the 9 seconds? As long as everyone has at least 1 BP it doesn't matter because they'll be free anyway, so it doesn't matter who gets 9 first right, they can just open the door and have everyone bumrush the exit?
