Fire Emblem: Awakening is pretty fantastic. Even has a casual mode for people who hate the permadeath gimmick. Though you'll of course have to suffer being branded a casual.
If a character dies, they're dead. For the rest of the game.Seibei4211 wrote:
I don't even know what permadeath means in that game.
Disgaea series is fantastic for this. Think of a Final Fantasy game but remove basically all the limits. Your Strength stat is capped, but it's capped at 40 million instead of like, 255 or 3000. And it's not artificially inflated. you start off with a STR of like 10 or 20, doing maybe 15 damage a hit, and you work your way up.Seibei4211 wrote:
If you start out as weak shit, then you build up to being a badass, that's cool.
Try Ni no Kuni, it's fun as hell. There's a demo and japanese voice opiton.Seibei4211 wrote:
Since Birth By Sleep's been boring me so much, I went ahead and looked for a fun-looking RPG to play until The Cave came out.

Finally played TWEWY. And then I stopped. Forever. I made it to the part where you get Fusions. Then I found out how much Fusions ruin everything. It's not even worth continuing to see if it gets less worse. And I'll never see if Neku stops being the biggest piece of shit.
There are ways to speed up the puck and dodging/blocking helps a lot if you can manage controlling two characters at the same time. Also, don't spend too much time planning attacks with your partner. I just mashed right/left (attack?) constantly. If it still moves the puck around you can easily just beef it up using Neku. I think my flash card still has TWEWY on it so I might throw it in and see if I can remember how to play and offer pointersSeibei4211 wrote:
Yes, those things. There's some luck with Shiki because you have to just guess what the first card is. If you get it right, you then have to guess the next one. If you get it wrong, you can, in theory, get the rest without guessing. The luck part comes in whether or not you can even finish a fucking combo before you get interrupted by one of the four enemies wailing on you. And if the solution to that is to kill some of the enemies so they don't hit you as much, then that defeats the purpose of a move that hits all of the enemies at once. I hadn't unlocked blocking or jumping yet, so I don't know if that shit would help, but I don't see how it would. At some point you would still have to stand there and do the combo. I also didn't like how slooooow the stupid puck was. Like seriously, speed it up. It'd be fucking great if the puck was instant. There were so many times when I'd do a combo with Shiki, then I'd just sit there as Neku, waiting and waiting for the puck to saunter over so I could finally go ahead and do a combo without it being wasted or breaking the chain.
that's cool but is Coded getting the "Cutscene Only" treatment? Because that was a dick move to 358/2 daysSeibei4211 wrote:
By the way, Kingdom Hearts II, Birth By Sleep, and Coded seem to be on the next KH Collection. There's HD videos of those games at the end of 1.5 Remix.
