Apparently Old Maid makes one character randomly (and the status is invisible) do an attack against the party the next turn, so if Tatsuya got hit and didn't defend... And in IS, I got some other Personas like Taksaka and Surya.

Yeah the way you see who was hit by Old Maid is you have to go into the command menu, set everyone to defend, (I think it's been a while) let everyone activate and then go back to the command list. The person who had the invisible Old Maid status will be set to attack instead of defend. I agree the random F**K with the beep is a bit distracting.

Yeah, I figured out how to defend against Old Maid during the Joker Ulala fight. Though it was still an annoying fight, since the only character who had a different persona was Maya, since it's a pain in the rear end trying to converse with demons with only three party members, especially because you can't really try conversing in teams at this point, since no one likes Boufu and Boufu doesn't really give a poo poo about other people himself.

Man, SMT IV's designs are so polarizing for me. The character designs are drat awesome, but some of those Kamen Rider-esque demon designs... Ugh. So, for something that's tangentially MegaTen (or Kaneko related), Maken Shao is now on the EU PSN. I... kind of remember the Dreamcast version (fairly good controls for a dreamcast FPS, horrendously bad House of the Dead-style voice acting). What... exactly would I be getting into here?

Essentially, it's the old "a bunch of enemies attack you, stab them in the face" gameplay style. You can choose to possess certain characters at points, which affects the story as well as what your movelist is. Also pretty difficult, although that may be because I last played it two years ago.

Oh, if anyone wanted to see it, here's MT2's true ending in the remake. Yeah, the characters in SMT4 are looking to be real cool. I wonder how the endings will go?What happened to that guy's arm? It looks like scissors.

I've given Nocturne another shot. Absolutely enthralled with the setting and ambience of the entire game. A Jack Frost asked me if all children should die. At one point I cast an enemy lure spell, then I was attacked by 5 consecutive waves of enemies. This is stuff you will never find in Persona, and I'm love with it. But after playing Golden, I can't deal with rerolling fusions. Just don't have the patience for it anymore. I know the game probably isn't hard enough to justify making perfect fusions every time, but I would still like the option of just *picking* what the monsters inherit... Golden has completely spoiled me in that regard. Is there any kind of save editor for Nocturne, or a good resource for changing skills manually via action replay or something?

This was supposed to be an edit, but I accidentally clicked "quote" and made a new post. Oh well. What I was going to say was that it looks like you'll have to know a little bit how AR codes work, and you may have to experiment with what codes correlate to what skill. Otherwise, savestates on an emulator are probably your best bet. Though if you're not playing on an emulator, you might as well just roll skills, since going out of your way to install an emulator -- on top of Nocturne's shadow glitch -- is probably more trouble than it's worth.

I'm replaying it on an emulator now. The shadow glitch is a small price to pay for 6x internal resolution, widescreen, and 16x MSAA.

There's the shadow glitch. It really only becomes noticeable in one cutscene when you get to Ikebukuro Isamu's shadow completely covers his body making him invisible after Thor sucks away his Magatsuhi the first time you enter Mantra HQ

So, when Ghostlight or SCEE or whoever said "Maken Shao has some minor texture issues in corridors" they actually meant "when you're in corridors loving triangular polys flare up infront of the camera constantly". I really don't see how this passed QA. Sure it doesn't really affect gameplay but holy poo poo is it annoying. Doesn't help that the game isn't actually very good at all, a tiny bit better than Maken X, but ultimately still a super clunky slasher with an abysmal, ridiculous story somewhat saved by interesting character designs and decent music. At least it was cheap.

Maybe it doesn't show up on that floor. I use GSDX10 on Direct3D11 (Hardware), blend bff interlacing, with the following toggles on: Texture Filtering, Allow 8-Bit Textures, Enable HW Hacks and Edge Anti-Aliasing. You have to go into GSdx.ini; mine is in My Documents/PCSX2/inis. At the bottom, set UserHacks=1. In the actual configurer this will allow you to set hacks; you want Skipdraw to not be zero. Mine is 5. This fixes a lot of shadow issues. It made Front Mission 5 playable without really weird texture errors, too. ed: fixed the pictures Prism fucked around with this message at 05:32 on Mar 18, 2013 |

I think that room is just different. In that one my shadows are fine as well (no matter the settings) elsewhere they still are bugged even with your settings. Oh well, it's not that big of a deal.

I didn't see it outside), but then the game is rather blurry. You're right, though. Apparently you can fix it but it means you can see through some walls (it's CrcHacksExclusions=all in the .ini, though I didn't play around with it). Guess my memory was off. Sorry about that.

"Guys, we still haven't stopped working on it, we swear!" is good enough for me. That game has been vaporware for some time. I was so sure we'd see something last TGS. Now I'm placing my bets on a Famitsu reveal sometime around E3 (but obviously not at E3)

And everyone is just hoping for more info at each E3/TGS. And of all the stuff that's sort of vaporware for years, we got Duke Nukem Forever and Aliens: Colonial Marines and look how those turned out

I beat Persona 2 Innocent Sin and then loaded up Eternal Punishment. Man, this thing is suffering from some real 90s localization. I'm barely in and I'm already confused. What the hell does "a ceramic girl" even mean?! edit: Oh, yeah. Innocent Sin had a really good story and the PSP remake managed to make the game reasonably fun. It was a really good game. Eternal Punishment is going to be a bit of a slog just because of the slow UI and old controls. Also, it's on a tiny box on an already small Vita screen. It's too bad that the PSP remake wasn't the one that was on PSN. Not sure what's going on with that. Sputty fucked around with this message at 14:15 on Mar 19, 2013 |

Those are more because Gearbox was using assets for games that were already mostly made and then did a bad job at putting them together. SE and Atlus actually have good development teams which still churn out good (if not ridiculously ambitious in Square's case) video games. You can't really judge a game taking forever to come out as the same as ones that came out and weren't even being finished by their original developers.

Don't forget you can play PS1 classics on a PS3 too, there are way more PS3s around than PSP/Vita in the west.

I'm honestly enjoying EP more than IS right now. So far it's actually a challenge unlike IS PSP, which from beginning to end, I just trucked through the game and made battles more of a slog. The dated UI and translation are a bit of an issue though. I'm starting to think that this game bombed in Japan because all the main characters are adults. Which is the equivalent of having a cast of retired people for everyone else. It's pretty cool to see more older people in a JRPG for a change. Baofu, Katsuya and Ulala are actually pretty entertaining, compared to the IS cast.
