Whole story, with only doing each skirmish once. I can't guarantee A ranks, but I would try my best to get an A.

Fiiiinally started playing Vanquish today. Pretty fun, but not as great as a lot of people are saying it is. Not as bad as a lot of people are saying it is either. People say it's short because it's 5 hours or whatever, but jeez, this game is literally NONSTOP ACTION. That sounds like a good thing, but sometimes you need a break and this game doesn't give it to you. I do like upgrading weapons though. It feels like a puzzle game trying to run around and group all of the weapons together to get them upgraded before moving on to the next room.
Why not just make a thread instead of whining in this one, rust?
I mean, one of the reasons people watch LPs is because they can't play the game themselves. Like maybe because they don't have that particular system. While pretty much everyone in here that frequents this thread has a ps3. Since it's, you know, the ps3 thread.

Hey rust, how did you record that PS3 footage anyway?
You do have a good point, considering I am going through the story in the LP as well. And I wasn't really whining I was just joking how I went along with it even though no one seem interested. I'll think about making a topic.Ivalset wrote:

I used a Flip camcorder standing upon a bunch of PS2 and PS3 games. It's pretty High-def, considering the file sizes for the videos are about 1 gig. The downsides with this method is that I'm limited to an hour of recording before having to upload and it has horrible auto-focus (As you can easily tell in the opening).Seibei4211 wrote:

Yeah, I couldn't tell if you were using a camera or a screen capture with a big, black border or something. Your room must've been super dark or something, cause that's such a perfect outline, except that it's crooked a little bit.
Yeah, the stand for the camcorder is retarded, it's not tall and it's impossible to get to be level.
DeathSpank is only $7.50 starting today, gonna pick it up after work
So, Selphie, I started playing Dark Dawn. Game feels like golden sun, that's a huge plus!
I've come to realize I love the combat in gs games much, much more than anything else. I always manage to put the game down whenever I enter a new town or non-combat area.
Also this water adept is a douchebag, hopefully the second one is better.

Yeah dude, the more I think about Golden Sun combat, the more I like it than any other RPG I've played. And you pick up the second water adept really early on. He's the next guy after Rief. He's ok, but pretty bland. Like, he has no personality. Also, he's 6 levels lower than my other guys, so I have no idea if he's any good.
If he's anything combat wise like Piers, I'll be fine.
Piers owned.
Piers owned.
Topic Starter
I dunno, I've never used him in battle yet. He's literally like two dungeons behind my characters at all times. He'd probably get killed too fast. Every single one of his stats is lower than Rief's and Rief has better Psynergy. So he's pretty useless, BUT...I just got the second Wind Adept and she's even better than Karis. The second wind chick actually has some fucking HP and strength and stuff. Her Psynergy isn't really as good though, but that's what Rief is for. Once you have Wish/Wish Well, you don't really need Karis.
But Karis is awesome. I'm never replacing her, sorry.
Also Rief is a douchebag, so he's getting replaced instantly.

Dude, I like Karis, too, but the second wind adept is cooler in every way. The stupid thing is that you only get her for half a dungeon, then she leaves and you don't get her back until I don't even know when. Now I can't wait to replace Tyrell though. He sucks so much.
I'll use two wind adepts then. I don't give a fuck!
Topic Starter
Yeah, screw the water adepts. Wind can heal just fine. You know, I totally don't know who the second earth adept is. I guess I get to have at least one surprise.
Topic Starter
So what's your party now, Ival? I've been using Matthew (every time I refer to this guy, I type Isa, then backspace), Sveta, Eoleo, and Rief. And now here's why I use Rief still: Pure Wish. I don't care how much he sucks as a character, you can't beat 400hp for the party for 20pp. Ridiculous.
Ugh, I keep putting it down because I have gay town shit to waddle through, plus I'm playing mmos. Still stuck with the initial four.
Going to pick it up again after I eat dinner.
Also Rief is getting kicked in his bitch teeth and getting put in the back roster, I don't give a fuck.

There, finally got rid of Rief.
I'm kind of pissed that Amiti can't use long swords or axes or maces, he is a terrible Piers.
Just looked at the characters on the wiki because I'm a huge baby. I'll probably end up using Matthew, Karis, the other venus adept, and either Tyrell or Amiti. I actually liked Tyrell a lot more once I gave him that longsword from the barai temple or whatever. He looks like a badass with a shamshir.

You're not gonna use Sveta? Himi over Sveta? Himi's the worrrst. Dude, Sveta can transform into this beast mode during battle. By the time I finally realized you could do that, she was doing either 300+ damage to every enemy or 600+ to a single enemy every turn. And if you defend in beast form, she defends everyone. The only downside to it is you can't use Djinn, and I think once you go out of beast form, most of your Djinn are resting. Ithink. I haven't used it enough to know if that's what happened. Like, I literally didn't find that out until the second-to-last boss.
That sounds gay as fuck, I'm not into furries man.
Topic Starter
I finally did it. I've finally won Dark Dawn. By that I mean I have all level 99 characters, beat every optional and mandatory boss, opened every chest, got all the summons, and got all the Djinn. It's kinda lame that the minute you get the last summon, that's the minute it becomes useless.
Just finally met (and said goodbye to, zzz) Sveta. She's pretty alright, but I'm pretty sure she's just going to be the fifth man in a four man team.
Tyrell is such a badass with a longsword though, jesus christ. And so is Matthew. I don't think I can ever replace them because they look so stylish all the time.

God, you guys are so gay for Sveta.RL Link wrote:

I'd have Tyrell in my team if he wasn't such a doucher character. He's supposed to be a comic relief, but Eoleo's funnier. Tyrell can hold a really strong sword though. Some enemy drops it, but I forgot which one. I don't even remember where I got it, but it's a Fire Brand. I don't think I ever got a better sword for him than that. Also, Rief totally reminds me of Hope. Hope was a flaming faggot, but he was such a good healer that I didn't care.

I got Final Fantasy XIII the other day but names/characters like that are one of the reasons I haven't booted it up yet. Everyone has a stupid-sounding name. Hope, Snow, Lightning, Buttercup, Mayonnaise. The cast of characters looks kind of nauseating, minus Seifer and Ival
Vanille and Fang are the only ones you need, anywho.
I picked that game up again recently, but once I realized that the only thing standing between me and a platinum is about 20 hours of grinding, I frowned and put it back in the closet.

Dream team right there. Give me my bitches, awp.
Back to golden sun, I just got Eoleo and he seems like an equal level faggot to Tyrell, except he can't use longswords (the best looking weapon in the game). So he is perma-backlined. Honestly the more I think about it, the more it seems like I'll just end up using all the bitches and Matthew.
Also I hate how whenever I have enough djinn to sport the 8 djinn classes, some faggot enters my group and I'm back down to 7 on everyone again

olawd I wasn't able to find any Longswords that were better than my light swords. I ended up dropping Tyrell and Himi overall, while switching between Rief and Karis. That said, I just beat the game, although I wish it was longer.
Ah well, time to 100%.

Oh, and Eoleo was fucking useful because he had defense buff/debuff spells. That was pretty helpful against bosses that like to drain your Djinn like an asshole. Also, it let me keep my defense Djinn on standby instead of wasting a turn on setting.
I can only hope she unleashes so I can speed that shit up.
It is really funny watching Himi use Combat Dance, because she swings so slowly the animation takes like 10 seconds compared to Karis' taking like 2 seconds.
Also awp, snow is a fucking douchebag don't pair me up with that faggot. I need my bitches. Bitches should be bitchy, that's why they're bitches. You can substitute Vanille with Fang, I won't mind. You can only edit the party like...20 hours in, though. And I don't remember if you can use less than three people. Selphie would probably know.

Just remember that Hope is a complete douchenozzle and you don't want him in your party any more than required.
And use Sazh just because his blitz owns. And because I own. It is required that you make me a sentinel as soon as possible and grab provoke/steelguard because I have the best provoke animation in the game.

Even in post-game content, there is no real reason to use Hope. He just isn't necessary since you don't really ever need to be healed (that is, if you don't suck).
Topic Starter
Well he's not just a healer, he's got all the best attack spells. There's nothing Vanille does that makes her a requirement for the party. I'd rather have someone who heals too well than someone who debuffs too well.
And obviously pride is not a concern when you have Hope.
But debuffs are literally the best thing in FFXIII.

Fang can debuff just fine. I don't need Fang and Vanille, and there's no way I'd ever replace Fang for anyone else.

By the way, Snow is a faggot and Hope is a bigger faggot, approaching Ken (P3) levels.

Well duh Vanille is better than Fang at debuffs, but Fang's retardedly strong AND has a decent arsenal of debuffs. If she didn't have the crucial debuffs that she has, I probably would have to bring in Vanille.
And dude, don't forget about Fran. She was the other awesome character in that game.
Edit: Also picked up Resonance of Fate today.

Guys, it's not a decision between Fang and Vanille, it's a decision between Vanille and Hope. Because Hope is a fucking douchefaggot, so the choice should be pretty obvious.
Also Vanille has red hair.

I thought it looked okay at best, but the battle system seems kinda simple. Customization is key, though, because this is a Gust game. I can count on it probably being at least passable. Still gonna wait for individual consensuses before playing.
I'll play like any gust game.

Edit: Oh yeah, I finished the maingame of Golden Sun. Wow, final boss felt like what a normal boss should have. I went in there with my normal crew of Karis/Himi/Sveta/Matthew as Guru/Master/Gladiator/Ronin (something along those lines, at least), and shit went downhill pretty fast since I had 0 party healing and only one reviver, and djinn blast was just not fun times. So I switched the earth adepts to paladins and switched Karis back to her main class and cruised through pretty easy. I wish the other bosses in the game required actual thought.
Actually, I think the only boss in the game where I felt in danger of losing was the first group of soldiers with psy grenades, those guys almost ruined me.
I'll probably finish off crossbone isle then be done with it. Still missing 3 djinn and a few summon tablets but I don't even care.

Anyway, I cannot get Vash to stop leveling up like a beast in Resonance. He is 8/10 levels higher than Zephyr/Leanne. And the worst part about it is that he's my least favorite character.
Vashyron owns, he's awesome. I can't say he's better than the others because I have equal love for all of them.
Easy way to level is to switch weapons around. Beware, it'll just make the rest of the game easier, it's not balanced for level-grinding.
Oh, also, you can switch character positions in the menu. Make him third to go, and put your machine gunner in top position. If Vashyron is your machine gunner, then that is pretty much why he is leveling like a beast. Generally two people will be high level; the scratcher and the main source of direct damage. Third person usually ends up just doing utility/knockbacks and set up for tri-attacks.

Man, I've been playing for 35 hours or something now. I totally know all of that stuff. The reason Vash is such a high level is cause he is my MG user, but I don't have a second high level cause I try to keep Zephyr and Leanne equal. So for every level they both get, Vash gets twice as much experience. Then when his HG gets too high, I switch him to rookie grenades and those levels just skyrocket, so now he's just ridiculously leveled.Ivalset wrote:

Well, okay! It sounded there was some confusion as to why so I felt compelled to explain needlessly!
I always had Leanne as my highest level because she was my machine gunner and grenadier. Her dual sub machine gun skill activation animation when running past an enemy is the greatest. She like does a flip in the air while shooting, lands on her knees and turns around, all while still shooting. It looks like that one move from Bayonetta, except more badass somehow.
This is it. Also at 2:36.

Oh wow, that is pretty badass. The battle animations are half of what make this game so damn awesome. If they just ran around with boring camera angles, shooting like normal, this game would suck. I haven't been doing any dual-wielding yet cause I don't wanna sacrifice customization to make room for a second gun like that. Maybe once I have way more weight capacity, but that'll take a while.Ivalset wrote:

Yeah, it's only really worth it when you can fit enough scopes on both so that your initial charge time isn't complete ass. Then it gets much better once you can fit on all your crazy barrels and magazines.
Once you have enough weight capacity for it to not be an issue, it's still debatable whether dual smg's is better than single smg+magazine case. Correctly selected ammunition makes a huge difference and one smg will always have higher stats compared to the average of two smgs since one is always slightly inferior to the other. But two drum magazines puts out a shitload of bullets...
I dual wielded smg's in my first playthrough then used single smg/ammo in my second playthrough since weight is a pretty huge issue at low levels. You should pretty much always dual wield handguns, though.

Yeah, that's the thing that's keeping me from dual-wielding SMGs. Armor Piercing is so damn useful and you can't do that any other way with an SMG. Why would I need to dual-wield HG though? So far I've only been using them to take off scratch damage with one hit, so I like having a high charge time just so I can hit multiple enemies in one run. There are only special occasions where the HG's skills are even useful right now, too. Unless there's something I don't know...
Anyway

It can also make the PS3 version look terrible if you have a good enough PC and that's quite a feat.

Gauge breaking is extremely useful since it stuns enemies and forces them to give up more bezels. Additionally, it's easier to juggle enemies while dual-wielding since you're putting out up to double the bullets.Seibei4211 wrote:
Yeah, that's the thing that's keeping me from dual-wielding SMGs. Armor Piercing is so damn useful and you can't do that any other way with an SMG. Why would I need to dual-wield HG though? So far I've only been using them to take off scratch damage with one hit, so I like having a high charge time just so I can hit multiple enemies in one run. There are only special occasions where the HG's skills are even useful right now, too. Unless there's something I don't know...
If you're gauge breaking, more bullets = much higher chance of breaking and a higher chance of multiple breaks. If you're juggling/converting scratch, you can just do a bunch of single charges to hopefully get them off their feet.

Yeah, I actually learned why gauge-breaking is halfway decent today. I was fighting Bigfoot in the arena for the first time and I got my SMG user frozen and the bastard was just camping and freezing him a bunch, so I used dual-wielding Leanne to stun him until Zephyr got unfrozen. Then after the fight, I realized Vash had a fucking First Aid Kit the whole damn time. But yeah, so far I don't really need gauge-breaking and stunning that much. My guys are at such a high level right now that I can just scratch bosses with one or two full charges. I'm sure it'll get useful with more ridiculous bosses though.Ivalset wrote:

I don't think Rolled has the second one. Either that or he just doesn't play it much. It's some random guy on my list that has it for sure though. And Just Cause 2 is fucking awesome. PS3 version's great just for the video recording.awp wrote:
and it's probably Rolled.
I bought Just Cause 2 today because hey it was 20 dollars
and I had a blast with the shitty demo
Most games would be better on PC (assuming, in this case, you can hook a playstation controller to your PC) because of modding. That's why I don't want to buy games like Fallout 3 for PS3. I just need those mods. They extend the life of the game and, in Fallout's case, offer a much more balanced gameplay experience.Pokebis wrote:

Add me if you like. I'm an active player.Is steam on the PS3 yet.
Nope.
I don't even think they're putting steam on the ps3, just steamcloud or whatever.

Dual SMG is absolutely the best. If it weren't for AP rounds, the magazine case could blow me. And dual HG actually isn't too bad. It's not like I really need grenades that often.
Fire HP/MC rounds with the appropriate terminals is absolutely devastating.
Somebody on my Steam Friends list named Ecchi (it's Nuumbi) keeps playing "Valkyria Chronicles - PS3" on Steam, but I assume he just plugged in a random program and named it that or something.

Yeah, but dual-wielding has all the best poses. And seeing all those bullets is cool.Ivalset wrote:
