corn in the bible posted:Elven Legacy is good poo poo yo It's real good but it's really snowbally, since your rewards are tied directly to how well you do each mission. The first few missions in particular are really key to get Gold rank on. It's a shame Warlock isn't nearly as tightly designed, but it's still pretty fun at least. Namely Warlock 2 that is.

The World Ends With You was really fun but the story is terrible. Dressing like a weirdo and eating hot dogs so you can use psychic powers to fight animal noises is great. But as best as I can tell the plot is that some psychos murder a bunch of people to perform a magic ritual to save retail stores from gentrification or their own fickle tastes or something. This is somehow a good thing. Also ramen. The main character is somehow incredibly central to this entire plot but at no point is actually aware of it or makes a decision which effects it. He does eat some ramen though, between the hot dogs and the drugs. Bar Crow fucked around with this message at 17:29 on Sep 9, 2015 |

The credits where everything's great because people value their lives more if you threaten to murder them and destroy what they value most. The part of with the alternate universe where main universe characters exposition to the even more clueless alternate universe Neku. The secret report where a character reveals he's Satan and has been handing out dark rituals to keep things interesting. The extra scene where the divine avatars of exposition discuss how they might get in trouble with God for making the murder games too convoluted but drat it they maintained the property values of the shopping distinct. Edit: No, wait, Satan had a purpose for giving out demon summoning rituals. Jesus just kept the math obsessed warlock around for fun and to cover up his murders.

Character vignettes in TWEWY are probably closer to anime that metaphysical stuff so I don't get what your point is there.

The plot of the game was Neku trying to win the reaper game and Megami's plan to make Shibuya a wonderful world. The metaphysical stuff doesn't interact with the games plot or any character arc save for the mysterious Mr.H, who is fleshed out in postgame content because who he is really doesn't matter to the character driven story they're going for the backstory to the setting and Joshua. It's why all the poo poo about Vibe and Frequency and Angels are in post game hidden logs, they're extra bits about the setting that flesh it out and lay the groundwork for a possible sequel that will never happen, they don't take away from the stories the game is trying to tell. Complaining that Neku doesn't know about that stuff in universe is really dumb since only two, maybe three, guys in the game would possibly care or know about the hard terms and metaphysical rules about everything.

This would be fine if the game ended with defeating Megami but then it undercuts it with the reveal of the Composer's actual identity and everything that goes with it. Large sections of the plot and characterization that you thought you knew are up ended at the very end of the game to setup the secret reports and hidden cut scenes which do not have a good payoff. It has a very weird and unfortunate payoff. It strikes me as the writers trying to be too clever and pack in more shocking twists but it only serves to undo the work they've already done. Fun game play though. You can pack in a surprising amount of depth with just stylus movements. Controlling your partner at the same time is a bit overwhelming but I think that's intentional.

The game does end when you beat Megami though? The Joshua reveal is just a punctuation on the "Who the gently caress IS this smug dick?" plot line and a way to explain why Megami is doing what he's doing. The metaphysical stuff and the Angels never come into the plot even with the Josh reveal. The composer reveal is just there to explain the why and to test Neku's development one last time. None of that effects the story as it's being told Cake Attack posted:I never did the secret reports and it all holds together fine The secret reports don't even change anything about any of the characters or plot points. All it does is give definitions for in universe stuff and go 'Mr. H and Joshua picked Neku for a reason." which is something you both already know and could obviously figure out from the story.

Bar Crow posted:The last game play action is activating the final fusion symbolizing his trust in his partners and mankind in general. The next cut scene explains that Joshua actually murdered Neku, has lied to him about everything, and is responsible for the entire Reaper's Game. But he grows as a person because of his experiences. I never liked the Saw movies either so maybe this is a personal thing I just don't like. So wait, "The final action is literally the physical manifestation of absolute trust in your partners, but then he goes on to forgive his partner and trust him unconditionally." is your complaint? Joshua is only responsible for starting his game with Megumi, not Megumi's hosed up plans and rule breaking to keep the game going even though he lost/was losing. At worst the reveal is "Yeah I'm technically his boss but he did all this poo poo to beat me." and then Neku has to either fight Joshua or trust that his friendship with him has given Josh hope in the people of Shibuya. And Joshua didn't start the Reaper's game, you kept going on about the secret reports so you should have picked up on the fact that it's something that's always been going on. Joshua's middle management at best and that's why he's in the tough position he's in of "I'd like to make changes but I'm not allowed/cannot without circumventing the rules."

Edit: I interpreted the ending as Neku collapsing in despair that he was just a pawn in yet another game and Joshua giving up when he realizes he's gone too far and he's the actual problem. The metaphysical stuff then comes across as rewriting the rules of the universe so that Joshua and Mr. H aren't actually the bad guys. They're "just following orders". Yours is probably the intended interpretation. Bar Crow fucked around with this message at 21:19 on Sep 9, 2015 |

The only problem is that I have about ten more interesting RPGs to be playing right now because people talked me into trying FF8/Type 0/Witcher 2 on PC alone.

Just sit in contested systems kiting everyone until backup arrived.
