Yeah, I don't play SRPGs. Like, ever. I would probably like Disgaea a lot if I liked SRPGs. I like my real-time battle systems. Tales is always good for that. Can't wait for Xillia to get here.

So it took me a couple of days, but I've finally figured out where I am in the game and where I'm supposed to go. This game is not helpful to people who don't remember where to go. Well, I knew where to go, but didn't know how to get there or where it was because there's no world map. I've been doing a number of battles trying to find where I'm supposed to go, and I was using Fayt at first and hating it. I hate his stupid two-hit combos. They're so weak and slow. I eventually switched to Albel and that made battles much more fun. I finally figured out how to get the AI to stop using so much MP, so hopefully that'll make things better, too. It's annoying how this game is one of those games where only your active party gets any XP. At least in Tales, the other guys get half of it or something like that. I also don't like how you can't chain strong and heavy attacks. You can't even use a strong attack and a weak battle skill afterwards. Actually, I don't know if you can chain any battle skill after a strong attack.
Just defeated Tyrant Overlord Baal in a 1v1 fight in Disgaea 4.

Fayt is all about the long range strong launcher -> strong anti-air -> weak anti-air x2. His long range weak thrust attack is also pretty good as far as normals go. It's reliable to utilize his long range normals because he does have one of the fastest movement speeds. Albel is a lot more technical, especially with his counterattacks.Seibei4211 wrote:

I imagine the reasoning behind not being able to chain cancel after strong attacks is that it would essentially make every strong attack safe to use.

Yeah, Fayt's launch is good. Sometimes they don't launch right or something and the second hit doesn't always connect. I don't like that Albel doesn't have an anti-air weak attack and his anti-air strong is hard to connect sometimes, but it feels good when it does.
I tend to use a lot of strong attacks anyway, because they are safe to use. There are so many instances where an enemy has 99% fury, so I can't break his AAA to allow me to use a weak combo, and if I try to do a weak combo, they usually get 100% during the combo and fuck me. So the only options are to wait for him to attack or stop moving or just strong attack him. And using AAAs against enemies is like, I could do that, or I could just hit them with my swords and stuff. Cause if he's attacking me, he's already got less than 100% fury. If I was still playing as Fayt, I'd say the fury system was useless, but with Albel's infinite combo, you do have to put a stop to that at some point.
I'm probably gonna get Tales of the Abyss or Muramasa soon. I'd heard of Muramasa before, but I didn't know it was from the Odin Sphere guys. Speaking of Vanillaware, Google "Dragon's Crown Sorceress". There's not even any words for it.

Well, when playing on harder difficulties and/or against the optional bosses, things get a lot more dangerous and AAA's become much more valuable. On the normal difficulty, yeah, attacking is often just as good as AAA's or evading. You should be using chain cancel combos anyway, so if enemies are getting to 100% too quickly, just cancel into your strong skill sooner.
The sorceress in Dragon's Crown is the best. It's almost at the level where I'm not sure if I can handle playing as one. It's actually pretty much the sorceress from Grand Knights History, which has really diminished my reaction to it.

If I play Dragon's Crown, I'll probably start with the Elf since she reminds me of Mercedes from Odin Sphere. And Mercedes was awesome.
Mercedes was so dumb. Piercing shot so fucking op.

That's why I liked her. She was ridiculously overpowered. Like it's not even fair. Bosses were a joke.
So I finished Devil May Cry 2 as Dante and started playing Devil May Cry.
I'm coming to the conclusion that I don't actually like Devil May Cry style games that much...

Doesn't everyone tell you DMC2 is the worst game and shouldn't be played by anyone ever?
it's not as bad as everyone says but is not as good as the first or third one.
I never finished the fourth one despite it having the one feature I felt was missing in DMC3, switching stances in realtime

I've managed to finish all of them except DMC2 since I've haven't played it and never will.
Playing DMC after getting used to DMC3 and DMC4 requires a bit of time. Especially since I played DMC3 and DMC4 on PC with a keyboard. Not the best way to play, but it kind of works. The combat and the stylish cutscenes are really the best part of the franchise.

I rented it way back and really enjoyed it.Ivalset wrote:

I still feel like it would be a game I'd really enjoy if they just made some changes to the combat flow, the weapons, the level design, the enemy design, the enemy variety, the difficulty, the bosses, the camera, the entire story, the voice acting and the characters.
...Yeah it's a pretty mediocre experience,
I'm hoping DMC 3 is basically the good parts of DMC 1 & 2 mashed together when I eventually get around to it.

This video pretty much made sure I never bothered to think about playing DMC2.

Dammit. Hothead Games, the guys who made a whole bunch of games I loved such as Penny Arcade Adventures, Deathspank, and Swarm, are now exclusively making iOS/Android games. Lame.
iOS/Android games are the way of the future easy money.
but what about the fourth Deathspank game isn't that supposed to exist?
Topic Starter
I guess not. They've apparently spent the last year doing this transition from console to handheld games. And they didn't say "mainly" iOS/Android. They said "exlusively". It seems like the chance of getting any decent games from them anymore is slim to none.
Pretty psyched about P4G coming this Tuesday on Vita!!!

Anyone else have a Vita?

I've been thinking about getting one, but I still have like 30 PSP games I need to play.
I'm not sure if I could get used to those tiny sticks though.

So they've got the DMC demo out now. I like the combat in that. It's pretty fun to grapple yourself into the air and not have to touch the ground. I can't compare it to any other DMC games cause I've not played any of them. The annoying thing is that I swear you can't run straight in that game. There's some weird shit with the camera or something where if you press up, you go up and a bit to the right. Considering that there's platforming elements in this game, that's kind of annoying.
Anyone else have PlayStation All-Stars? That game's a lot of fun from what I've played, even though there are some gameplay differences compared to Smash Bros.
I have a vita, but, Azure being an idiot, decided I'd link it with my Japanese PSN account instead of my Australian one.
My PSN ID for le vita is thatAzure. I play BlazBlue and DJMax Technika TUNE, and make a few maps in Sound Shapes, so yeah. waiting for Disgaea 3 to arrive within the next few days.

So I went ahead and ordered Dishonored from Amazon. I wasn't interested in that game, but I've seen a bunch of gameplay videos and it looks kinda cool. Definitely looks super easy though. You're practically a god in that game. Slowing down time, teleporting, possession, heat vision, shit like that. I'm cool with being a god though.
Holy crap, you're right! Now the only question remains: Will it be better than DMC2?awp wrote:

I played the demo and the combat was fun. I think it'll be pretty good.

I couldn't decide whether or not to buy Bioshock 2 for long enough and now it's free.
I've just played Far Cry 3 for over 7 hours straight without batting an eye. I'm just so damn addicted to it. I'm doing the Fallout thing where I haven't even done the story missions yet and I'm just dealing with the side stuff first. The only reason I stopped playing it was for sleep.
Dishonored is also fun as hell. The stealth is cool in that sort of Arkham City kind of way where you jump down to take out a guy, then zip back up and wait to strike again.

looks like someone did
Currently finished the Metal Gear Solid series - the ending scene from MGS4 is like a whole damn movie, awsome.
Now playing Dragon's Dogma, the Silent Hill HD Collection (SH 2 and 3), CoD: Black Ops II, AC III and Resonance of Fate.
Resonance of Fate is pretty cool, and a damn easy Platinum
I started Resonance of Fate a few days ago, I think I'm 5 chapters in.
I'm guessing that the game actually starts to get good now.

Yeah, the beginning's rough. Once you get two MGs and you can start getting more customizing options going on, it gets better.

Damn right, i started playing 3 weeks ago (played 2 hours total) and i got problems with that map system. The combat system is pretty cool, it looks really complicating during the tutorial but once you fought ~5 fights it's getting easy. Guess it's the same with the map system. I have to play it again soon
