Shadow Tactics: Blades of the Shogun

Each level's bonus challenge "badges" are hidden until you complete a first playthrough.

This level is absolutely infested with hostile civilians. I guessed incorrectly that one of the challenges was to keep all the civilians alive. Made it all the way through sparing their lives, but no badge to show for it. The tedium of sneaking by every civilian was brutal.

I have questions, as follows:

  • What exactly does "Third-rate Occasional Honey" mean?

  • Is your main weapon a bagpipe?

  • Does your dude there have pink pigtails?

Note that these questions are more of the :swoon: type than the :confused: type.

Oh I can answer that; he's using the hunter horn. Its a bard-style weapon where you play music to buff your team before smashing monsters over the head with it. The sound it plays is indeed an atrocious bagpipe chord.

Even though in English it's called Deception 4, it is in fact the fifth game in the series. They released the fourth one as TRAPT and I guess didn't think anyone remembered it?

You can make up a title for your hunter out of any three words you've seen ingame (equipment, names, items, personality, rank etc) and so you get things like say "Third-rate Occasional Honey" and my own, "Mister Mallet Man"

The other questions were answered. but for this one: Yes. The hair is almost always hidden since a lot of head armor pieces cover the entire head. But this one didn't so I figured it was the perfect time to snap a shot. All hair styles are considered unisex, it's great.

I’ve been snapping pics of this to add to this thread, I thought I was going to be the only one!

Funny enough but the new controls and stable frame rate makes this game easy. I’ve knocked down like 6 I’m about 2 hours or less.

Huh, I just heard on a podcast that the controls were exactly the same as the PS2 original, and in fact the only things updated were centred around the visuals. Is that not the case?

By default you start with a more modern control scheme, but you can switch back to the original if you want, for some reason.

It's a really amazing game! It elegantly combines puzzles, with strategy and skill. Here is a video if you're wondering if the screenshots live up to the expectation (ya it does).

More Zen than Zenyatta

Shadow of the Colossus is a game about running around a desolate landscape, finding large things, and then killing them. There aren't too many games like it and none have really come close to the feel of being a tiny guy who has to to work out how to mount and scale these massive beasts. The third colossus in particular, the one in the screenshots, is iconic as hell because it's the one that got put on every single ad and promotional piece.

All of his games have an almost dreamlike quality to them. I find it really serene and frightening. It's all so familiar but somewhat different. Like walking into your house expect it's not your house.

Miyazaki got into making games because he loved Ico so much and that and SotC were the main inspirations when he was working on Demon's Souls.

In Paradox Space, when you cross the line, your nuts are mine.
I wish Ico was good enough to justify a remake like that. SotC devotes soooo much time to setting the tone for that world, and then the next game in the story just can't carry it.

e: ^^^^^^^holy moley this makes so much sense; I really hope Fromsoft's next project can keep up that feel.^^^^^^^

I meant SotC is a prequel to Ico, unless I got that wrong. It spends so much of the ending hinting at stuff in Ico, but then if you go and try to play it, it doesn't live up even close to the same quality.

BEHEAD THOSE WHO INSULT GENTOO
Hey Beastie this is a very very odd question but: I remember back in like 2012 or so you made a thread in YOSPOS that was a "very YOSPOS Christmas" or something - it ended with RMS getting stuck in a door of a burning house. Was that you or am I insane? And if it indeed was you that made it, can you remember anything about the thread / title - for some reason it's been stuck in my head and I've been trying to find it for years.

If that wasn't you then my bad but I'm almost certain it was. There was also a line "and for little Billy Gates, not one Zune but two!" It's been driving me nuts and I'm pretty sure you made the thread - and I didn't realize you still post :)
