There seems to be a strong correlation between finding the battle speed option in the menu and liking it.

I started the game at speed five, give it a rest, Bill!

God, the combat progression in Eternal Sonata is so bewildering.

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?

Is the world map in Devil Summoner Soul Hackers as unbearable as Megami Tensei IV's?

I also think the backhalf of Suikoden 2 to be an absolute slog in plot and gameplay. I get what they were going for but nothing after beating Luca Blight is worth experiencing.

I cannot agree with this.

Was it Persona Q that had a 'this is how much of your life you will waste grinding' meter on its difficulty select screen? Or am I thinking of another game? Some game just straight up told you how much longer Hard mode was going to take you. As if it was a perk or something.

I haven't played Q, but I know Oreshika on the Vita did this.

I actually just ordered for the DS so I cancelled that when I read your post. Does Android have party chat too and does this trend of mobile being the definitive version continue for DQ V and VI?

Android is the same as iOS, and the DS versions of V and VI both have the party chat.

I'm pretty sure I'm going to drop Yakuza 5. I get why people like those games but I find them incredibly boring. Somehow I got through 3 and 4, but it was always a chore and 10 or so hours into 5 I can already tell it's going to be more of the same. I think the only reason I was going to play it in the first place was because it was the last PS3 game I had.

I've never played a Yakuza, but am interested in getting 0. What do you dislike about them? Also, I'm glad you finally stopped wasting your time on a series you hate.

The Pirate Captain posted:

Even if you turn encounters off and make a beeline for the essential bosses, you're still repeating the same set of bosses four or five times with zero variation in the fights and very little variation in the dialogue, which you don't want to skip because every now and then a line is slightly different. It may only take an hour or two but it feels as long as the entire first half. Hence, the second half of BD is terrible.

It also takes far longer than an hour or two and looper is full of poo poo.

I feel that Symphonia is hurt by the fact that you are playing as a class of kindergarteners who for some reason have swords.

And Persona 2 is as mediocre as they come, with dreadful dungeon designs.

It's on sale, and supposedly the glitches were fixed, so I bought Wild Arms 3! 2002, God drat. Apparently I've waited 15 years to play this.

It's not subtle, either, there are a bunch of explicit parallels drawn in the leadup and I think Velvet spells it out when it happens.

Of course it isn’t subtle, haha! Just because they intended to send a certain message doesnt mean they did it well. No one needs to hear what the intent of the scene was when the criticism is that said intent was poorly delivered.
