Fixing a bug by adding a letter to your name was so stupid.

ImpAtom posted:Enchanted Arms is like staggeringly average. I finished it and I didn't loathe it by the end, it just is entirely forgettable. It does get a point in my personal book for being the game that finally made me realize that all the random robots across like ten different games I had played were named "OOPArts", not "00 Parts". Your mileage is probably going to vary on that one.

As a kid this was the first non-NES rpg I owned, and I got lost so much because I was a stupid kid with no access to GameFaqs. In one village there's a clue that reads something like "from the center of four, one right, and three up". The solution is go to the north side of the village to the center of 4 rocks, take one step to the right, three steps up, then search. But I misread the clue and thought I had to find four objects with one to the right, and three clustered above, then stand in the middle or something. So I spent weeks searching every possible location available to you, scouring for hidden passages, etc, until I finally stumbled upon the solution by accident. By that time my party had gone from level 15 to level 40 (which is when you start getting empty levels), so I steamrolled the remaining 3/4 of the game. Good times.

I got stuck on the boss after the sliding tile puzzle. Thank god it was only a rental. Some one did an LP of this and I followed it because I was wondering what I had missed out. This game was a train wreck.

But if you hack your way to victory the game shoves you back into the puzzle room and pretends none of that ever happened

Including things like one chest out a group of four. None of the chests had any indication they were special, either.

i both love and hate that star ocean: first departure finally gave me some sci-fi, and then spent 30 minutes in that sci-fi giving me plot exposition and explaining how generic sci-fi things work and gave me no actual input in anything that was happening and then took away my sci-fi party members' sci-fi beam pistols and sent me 300 years into the past before space science existed it's both the most bullshit and stupid thing ever, and also kind of loving hilarious

Even Kingdom Hearts is more competent at making its crossover interesting. Star Ocean is just missed opportunity after missed opportunity. What is the development objective of these games: pretend like its a space game for thirty minutes and then crash lands into the most generic medieval fantasy imaginable? It's baffling but it's got me curious.

I loving love Quest 64. It's my favorite bad game. I rented it so many times as a kid simply because I didn't have any way to play FF7 until I bought the windows version that loving Eidos published.

By the way, a couple of years ago I tried to play Last Story after enjoying Blue Dragon and Lost Odyssey and I got through ~40 of the 42 story chapters fairly easily by keeping up my levels and upgrading weapons where I could (Although I became stymied on the weapon front due to an apparent inability to backtrack, the last 10 or so chapters seem to railroad you) and I got to the boss at the beginning of, I think chapter 41, the guy who splits into three and puts barriers up that you have to take down, and if you take the down barrier of the wrong one he just detonates and does a shitton of damage, and there was no way to figure out which one was the real one. I couldn't find any cues and even when I got lucky and got the correct one I barely scratched him when my weapons had been fine so far so the fight took way too long and every attack he did almost 3 hitted my party members. Was I doing something wrong or is that fight just bullshit?

It was actually the start of chapter 40 boss, Berith I just looked it up. I think overall my favourite boss in the game was the Deranged Prince on the Pirate Ship, the poncy one who had designs on the princess, I just love his freakouts as he sinks into madness: "Zael's making fun of me mummy... and Callista and the king andandand EVERYBODY!!!"

I mean the idea is sound from a story perspective. As time goes on and the characters grow haggard and tired they get weaker. I don't know Eternal Sonata or how it works though.

More Suikoden. Do I get a runemaster (or whatever they're called) for my castle soon? I'm currently going to the elf forest, and performing any kind of party setup is absolutely excruciating when the nearest place I can manage runes is two towns over. I hope I didn't just miss them because I've been marching over there and back a few times now and that would make me feel really stupid.Wendell posted:It's ridiculous how they give you less time to act as the game goes on. Who thought making the battles more restrictive was a fun progression? This just reminded me that the same happens in Baten Kaitos; the bigger your deck is, the less time you have to select a card during your turn. It makes perfect sense from a difficulty curve perspective: the game is supposed to get harder as it gets further along. Ignoring the fact that in I'd say most RPGs there is no attempt made towards a smooth curve at all, it's actually a really difficult task to balance player progression with the difficulty's progression. How can you get consistently stronger (and not just "bigger numbers" stronger, actually feeling stronger in gameplay) if the game is supposed to get consistently harder?

Yes this works when your characters get old and creaky but maybe not so much when they're thirteen, even if they are all literally suicidal. Amppelix posted:More Suikoden.

I'm currently going to the elf forest, and performing any kind of party setup is absolutely excruciating when the nearest place I can manage runes is two towns over. Your runemaster comes after the stuff in the forest. Just keep visiting rune shops and you'll find her pretty easily. If you're having trouble managing your runes, though, maybe you're switching people out too often. I mean, sure, you have some recruits available at this point, but only a very small handful of them are worth keeping around. Fur20 fucked around with this message at 12:29 on Oct 20, 2016 |

Give you more and better tools, but also create situations where you need those tools just to survive. You should think, "wow, I sure am glad I can block that attack now, I would've been a goner!"
