Is there a website that chronicles ways to break older Jrpgs? I'm kinda wanting to go back to some older games but would rather just break them over my knee than struggle through it.

I finally got Arcanum and installed the unofficial patch. What do I need to know before I get started? I've heard that Harm is broken, but I'm not interested in a magic character.

If he had just acted the way a character named "Edge Maverick" should act (I'm thinking Snake Plissken as played by Steven Seagal) the rest of the game could have remained as dumb as it was and it would still be great.

Anyone playing the new Avadon? it's pretty much more of the same with a new class and a few improvements. I loved what the first game had to offer though, and my biggest complaint was that it was too short, so needless to say im loving it.

I really enjoyed it when I played it through, though I am pretty bad at computer games and had to switch the difficulty to easy to finish it. My main problem with the first still stands -- that each of the main questlines basically tells the same story three times with bigger stakes each time. It feels like they've done a much better job with the politics, though: I feel like the decisions I'm making are more subtle than 'support Avadon / oppose Avadon'. I still reckon Geneforge 5 has to he Spiderweb's high point so far, but Avadon 2 is a pretty good ride.

Endorph posted:My favorite part is that the in-game portraits are stolen from various Fire Emblem games. I honestly don't know. I mean, the laxius power games are all freeware due to him using art assets from different games and they're not even pornographic, the guy who made them just insists on most of the women wearing see-through clothing so the few times their portraits appear he has an excuse to draw them semi-nude. The developer is just a creepy guy who somehow built a dedicated enough fanbase. Seriously, everything about Laxius Power 1's plot so far has just been  because of just how stupid everything is from a design point. It's a game about a 16 year-old saying "I'm too cool for school" so he leaves with his nudist girlfriend and a couple other best friends and they go through dungeons that look like they were designed by flailing around on a keyboard. They head for some fighting tournament thing, they get there after a lot of padding and awful dungeon design and awful dialogue and then the tournament is cancelled because the town in question is attacked. Then his elven girlfriend gets kidnapped so that the bad guys can inject her with "demoniac venom" which will make her extremely powerful and also "extremely submissive." Then they would have to chain her up and let a dragon gently caress her so that she can become pregnant and birth the world's strongest dragon. Then after they they would bring in a torturer to torture her until she feels no more pain and would not put up any fuss about any other task they have her do because she has gone through hell already. Thank loving goodness the bad guys are as incompetent as the writing is because they fail in their own plan because after explicitly describing what they have to do, they don't actually do any of it and just skip to bringing the torturer in and thats when Random and pals show up and rescue her. The entire game is the developer's self insert and his waifu's adventures and god drat does it get uncomfortable. I don't know how this guy got popular. Probably because he drew nipples and talked about how submissive Sarah is to the main character, I dunno.

Red Bones posted:I want to try out a Ys game, what are they like? Which one should I buy on steam? Ys is one of the earliest action rpg series. Lots of hacking, slashing and jumping around in the newer ones. The early games are pretty much their own separate thing that nothing else really emulated, where attacking is automatic and based on your position relative to the enemy's when you run into them. They tend to have really, really, really, really, good music Get Oath in Felghana. Someone will grumble about not saying Origin but starting someone on Ys without Adol at the helm just ain't right. Then get Origin because it owns. Pick up 1+2 on sale because they might be a bit of an acquired taste, the Steam version is literally a pair of games from the 80s with new art. dis astranagant fucked around with this message at 12:58 on Dec 17, 2013 |

Red Bones posted:I want to try out a Ys game, what are they like? Which one should I buy on steam? All of them are worth playing except for maybe Ys V, which just got a translation patch. I also wouldn't bother with the original versions of III and IV which now have much superior versions in Oath in Felghana and Memories of Celceta. Ys I & II got released on a million different platforms, but you can safely ignore everything but Chronicles+ on Steam at this point. As to where to start, to be honest any of the games on Steam are good. Ys I & II are obviously the most aged and are somewhat a product of their time. I think they're still plenty charming, and Ys II is an especially solid RPG. The weird gimmick at the beginning of the series was that you had to ram into enemies rather swing a sword (hit them head on in the center and you take damage, anything else only hurts the enemy). It sounds strange but it just sort of works. If you want something newer, both Origin and Oath in Felghana are superb overall titles that are a bit more indicative of what the series is like these days. Origin is a bit easier so it might be a better overall introduction I suppose. I personally prefer Oath. Seven and the recent Memories of Celceta use a switch-on-the-fly party system which works surprisingly well in the Ys Action RPG format. They are a bit too easy compared to the rest but they are still undeniably fun. Nate RFB fucked around with this message at 13:34 on Dec 17, 2013 |

Ys games are very light on story, and what little is there is kind of amusing in the sense that they're usually distilled down to how Adol just loooooooves adventure and gently caress yeah I'll go help you save some miners / rescue some damsel in distress / kill some eldritch god of evil, that sounds right up my alley. There are a few recurring elements between several titles but you never have to think about them too deeply.Kild posted:The wizard is easier.

I played Ys I, did not like it much at all. I found that it had aged poorly. Hell, I had maxed out my level about halfway through the game (no grinding), there's very often no clues on where you should go next, secrets are a pain in the rear end to find, and the final boss had a stupidly high difficulty curve. Overall I just didn't find it very fun. Short, though. But other people disagree with me, so it's just a matter of taste. I hear Ys II is much improved, however. But from what I understand it's more or less a direct sequel to Ys I (rather than just an adventure with Adol, like the other games), so eh. Oath is great though. And I played Ys 7 and quite enjoyed it, except found that it felt like it was too long. I'd like to play the newest one, but will have to wait for a Playstation Vita to be not as expensive as it is now. Morpheus fucked around with this message at 15:56 on Dec 17, 2013 |

I didn't really have fun playing Yunica maybe its because I played on the hardest difficulty. Certain boss bottles (Epona #2) was mostly just stat checks and it put me off.

I've never been as hardcore as some Ys players, so I tend to play on Normal (something I regret with Seven and Celceta because drat those are easy on Normal) and I'd say Yunica is just right although the final 2-3 bosses are a lot easier than the rest. With replays I go with Hard which is still fairly fun but I would never, ever recommend Nightmare. Too many bosses become slogs and more than difficult it's just tedious. You brought it on yourself.

I found a lot of Oath in Felghana balls hard just on normal mode, but the satisfaction you get when you FINALLY beat those bosses is something I've very rarely found in other games. And also yes, Yunica is much more fun than Hugo.

Not that I don't appreciate a good translation patch, but I thought the PSP entries were a. Not as good as the first game, and b. Impossible emulate reliably, making a translation patch of little value. I've got to be missing something here. Actually, are there any good or at least arguably good RPGs for the PSP that never made it to digital? There's Metal Gear AC!D, sort of, and I know TOSE put out a decent port of Valkyrie Profile (the first two Star Ocean games fall firmly into the "arguably good" column, I know) but I'm wondering what else Vita owners might be missing out on.
