 What is Final Fantasy VII: Dirge of Cerberus? It's a cash grab by SquareEnix... No seriously. Put to go into it a bit further, Dirge of Cerberus is a Third-Person Shooter staring everyone's favorite character C- ERRR Vincent Valentine! You know that completely optional character in the original Final Fantasy VII. (The good one) The guy that was seething CHARACTER and EMOTION. Yeah they decided to make a game about him which is about as good as you'd think. Will this be 100% HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAHAAAAAA------- NO! gently caress you for even thinking that. This game is shite and honestly the effort I've put forth to get even SOME of the collectables is more than enough. Let's not try to force me to get all the secret items and poo poo too. That'd be insane and I'd appreciate not doing that. Wait did you say this is poo poo? No I said it's shite. Jesus Christ pay the gently caress attention! But that being said there's some things to enjoy about this game. There's a chaining system which increases your damage the more kills you have and it's a bit of a fun challenge trying to keep it going throughout. Also with some of it you can 2-3 shot some bosses. Basically there's a lot of mechanics in here that's fun to exploit. Weak Points for massive damage, and combos to big damage. It has its fun times, but near the end it does drop off pretty horribly. Spoiler Policy Much like with most of the games I LP, please keep them in tags. Videos

The same goes for masochists, dude Guess I'm double hosed in this instance. magikid posted:I really enjoyed this game back when I first got it, enough to go through all of the difficulties. I tried playing it again a few years later and holy poo poo no it is not a good game. I think the worst part is that you get shot the instant you enter enemies' line of sight no matter what. I will say beginning game is way better than endgame. There's more you can do with the mechanics in the first couple of chapters and then near the end it's always these slap fights without the ability to raise your Chain gauge up. You'll see what I mean in the next video. Zain fucked around with this message at 13:12 on Apr 11, 2017 |

OH! I would actually not care if all the enemies were samey, but there's one enemy type late game that's just super annoying and bullshit. But we won't get there for a while. What I will spoil is weapon choice is poo poo! Since we got all of our attack options fairly early in the game. We get only 3 weapons throughout the game. Pistol, Machine Gun, and Sniper Rifle. Honestly if they had more variation in these things it'd be more interesting, or even enjoyable. But basically once you have your basic build it barely ever changes if it does.

RoboChrist 9000 posted:To me one of the biggest condemnations of this game is how poo poo the soundtrack is. We could have had gothy buttmetal or pretentious orchestral goth remixes of music from FF7. Or just an entirely new buttmetal soundtrack. Instead we got just bland and forgettable nonsense. Final Fantasy VII has one of, if not the, best soundtracks in a series often known for its music, and that the game could drop the ball that hard on that front is just shameful. Holy poo poo! You're so right. I completely forgot there's music in this game... Honestly it's so forgettable and I've played it so much you'd think there's some song that would stand out but I honestly can't remember a single one.

 New update So, in this update we're fighting our first boss! And it shows off one of the things I liked most about at least the beginning levels of Dirge of Cerberus. We're not really going to see much of Vincent's (lack of) personality for a few chapters. It's all begrunden acceptance of the situation.

 Update City Alright! So fun things actually happen in this update. We get a sniper showdown and show that Vincent is really doing this to save the children. Also, we get the best weapon in the game. See if you can spot it. For this level I actually do enjoy it quite a bit. It's cramped but also feels pretty open. Nothing really to complain much about the level design.

Update Where everything that loves me gets hurt This one is going to be a more cutscene heavy update. It goes into the "relationship" of Vincent and Lucrecia, if you can call it that. I want to say close to 15 minutes worth of cutscenes for this one update and trust me they get longer too! Not every update but there's some that are like 20+ minutes.

Hobgoblin2099 posted:Lucrecia is the worst. Oh their dynamic only gets more cringy and pathetic as time goes on. Also I love how anytime you do something badass in this game it's cutscene. It's pretty depressing that they give you a rocket launcher and it's only picked up and used during the cutscene and never again will something like that occur. I'm sure being a Turk Vincent has had extensive weapons training. I don't mind that the Rocket Launcher would be limited use weapon but like seriously give us more of a choice in weapons! Weapons generally make or break games like this.

Also I'm almost 100% sure Lucrecia is loving dead. The crystal isn't a stasis field or whatever it was in 13. It's just she kinda wanted to end her life and became a crystal.

It's THAT place again So we go back! Back to where it all started. The PS1! Errr I mean Nibble Ham! But first we have to go through the sewers because of-course we do. It really seems disjointed the places we go. I can't even tell where the hell we are or have been because of how much we've been jumping around. I mean I know Nagging Hem is on the FF7 map, but everything else that isn't a major area just seems to sort of exist in this game and not the actual established world.

Marmaduke! posted:I wonder how he even got there, it's like he's just popped down the road or something. Is that what happens? I just thought it was "Out of range" but a lock on mechanic could make sense that's a "You're going to hit or not" but also there's an accuracy stat which is also confusing.

We should really mind our manners in this manor Alright! We get our first taste of what OMEGA is supposed to be... IN TEXT FORMAT! Go us! Everyone's favorite pastime is of-course reading logs. Maybe this is where it all began with FF13's massive text/story dumps? Either way we gotta do it. I do hope these are in order. I do believe so but you're not missing much if they're not.

SSNeoman posted:The absolute lack of anything when you visit Vincent's room is the single most disappointing part of the game for me. Right? It is really a slap in the face in many ways. Maybe see the decayed corpse of the optional boss too! SOMETHING! Though I guess if Shinra is still using it... After it's been abandoned for YEARS, they'd probably clean up the place. But even still! The mansion doesn't have the correct layout, or even some of the more iconic aesthetics that you'd think they'd put in.

Everything goes to hell So we break out and get some real color to this game! There are greens! Not just Grays and browns. Otherwise there's not much to say about this outside of the stupid bullshit it tries to throw at you. It always seems to be waves of enemies too! Sorry if this is short. I just got off of work and am super tired.

The greatest sacrifice That's right boys and girls! It's time for Zybourne Clock! Errr I mean another episode of Deep Ground Strikes back. This one will be a bit shorter than the other videos today since I didn't pace it out properly. But there's more story and character development of our favorite 13 year old who is actually 23 years old but trapped in a 13 year old's body. As well as her sister. It's great! Absolutely exquisite. Best story of all time.

 EXPOSITION Well today is a non-commentary update. It's a whole lot of talking and exploring the NOT HIGHWIND! So instead of saying anything I'd let literally EVERYONE ELSE talk. It's a fairly lengthy one too. There's really not a whole heck of a lot. There's going to be character development of Shelke and Vincent mostly. We do get to see all of our favorite though! Like Cid, Yuffie, and Cait Sith. I will say the ending cinematic of this video is pretty bad rear end.

Running a Train on Deepground Hey! We're back in Midgar, not only Midgar but probably one of the more iconic places. The Train Graveyard, so you better believe we're going to fight some undead creatures here! That of-course is a blatant lie. It's still the same loving enemies we've been fighting for a while now. We do get another Omega Report, which by this point is only flavor text. I don't believe there's really any major revelations to be hand from future updates on that but I'll still share it cause you better believe we will!

Red the Red We're back in the Midgar Assault and you better believe we're fighting the same people we've been fighting since the start of the game. But who is this Mysterious G person? What's with their reports? Will we find the answers? It's hard to say right now. All I do know is that we're getting a boss fight at the end here. It's with our favorite person too. Red the Red and how annoying she is to fight. Literally the worst boss fight in a long line of "The worst" to come. But we do what we must because we can. G-Report:

That would be nice wouldn't it  anilEhilated posted:Bwahaha. G's identity is one of the few things I *do* remember from the last LP of this game and it's... Well, something.

Again a super annoying boss fight if you didn't come prepared you better believe you'll be spending 30+ minutes fighting this guy. Not a fan at all. This boss fight in particular seems to scream of bad design choices.

 Ruins of Midgar That's right we're exploring a deep hidden area under Midgar today. It'd not that bad until we fight a terrible new enemy. Seriously I hate these types of enemies and they shouldn't exists. I forgot to look at the omega report today cause in the previous failed recording I did and so there's that. For some reason I thought I opened it but clearly didn't. So instead I grabbed this from the wiki Also I'm going to be heading to a convention on Wednesday and I won't be back until Monday. So Friday's update of-course won't be posted on Friday as I'll have no access to a computer. Next week Monday's will be heavily delayed to probably the afternoon if I'm not feeling drained that day. Otherwise have fun and be safe out there everyone.

Deeper down the rabbit hole G-Report: Alright! Back from the convention and I don't remember much of this video. It's mostly us going forward and getting a long cutscene establishing the Lolicon's backstory. There's of-course a G report that I posted. But yeah there's a ton of gimmicks in this level and even more so in the next video. So please look forward to all of that.

Nero the Sable That's right! Another boss fight is on its way! And honestly it's a fairly disappointing one, but don't be alarmed we are on the final stretch of the LP there's only 3 videos left until the very end.... Which I need to still talk over cause I'm a lazy butt. Sorry. Anyway! Yes there's a 100 man challenge room that I cut out cause it's super boring. Honestly if you wanna see it then I'll edit a quick video but no... It's no good. There's tons of gimmicks I've noticed in this video. LIKE A WHOLE poo poo TON and it's weird.

get that OUT of my face posted:Nothing happens in them and the characters involved in them speak a few words at a time before pausing for two seconds and repeating the process. The voice acting is terrible and so is the editing. Improving both of these things would shave at least two minutes off of a ten-minute cutscene. Oh no! You're absolutely right. There's very little in enemy verity and they really half assed this game. There's only one limit break you can do which seems weird. I'd love to be able to choose between the 3, outside of Chaos cause Chaos is a major plot point for some reason, to fit some sort of situation at hand. SSNeoman posted:I think we're supposed to sympathize with Lucrecia, but I just can't stop laughing at how Vincent got snubbed by loving Hojo of all people. Oh yeah you have no idea how badly I was cringing at Vincent here. It was the most disgusting thing they could have possibly done in this. anilEhilated posted:I think this game succeeded in killing off any positive feelings one might have associated with any of the FF7 characters. Lucrecia was... More respectable when she had barely any character in FF7. Now we see Vincent as this little whimp. And because Lucrecia sorta hosed up Vincent to make it up to him she went and became Hojo's... Something? Like I can imagine Hojo would really treat anyone with any respect, but also they had a child together. So the thoughts that come to mind are some that I'd rather not write out.

The Bad Episode I really wish I could be joking here and telling you that this isn't a bad episode but god it's so annoying and you can hear in my voice how annoyed I am at this stupid loving bullshit. The level is SUPER CRAMPED. There's a lot of lame gimmicks to slow you down and it's just not enjoyable at all. The boss or midboss in this area is also total bullshit. It's a fight to stay awake at this point. Just everything points to things being complete poo poo in this level. We did get our final G Report which means we can get the super special secret ending! YAY US!

One Boss After Another Well they certainly ramped things up here. It's bossfight after bossfight after bossfight! And honestly they're not too bad. They're not too good either, but I sort of enjoy some of the gimmicks of these fights. We finally face off against Weiss! And you better believe the cutscene is loving TRASH! OH Man! This story keeps taking a poo poo and when you think it couldn't possibly get worse it does. I hope you all enjoy how loving stupid this all is and know that it'll end with a huge bullshit battle. But not quite yet. We're not done. That's for Monday, we're completing the main story of this game soon! Also on episode 18 I got this message  That's... that's good right? RIGHT?!?!

It was coming straight from the PS3 so there's not much I can really do about it. I wish it wasn't there but god it was really horrible and broke a lot of the awesome musics in the game. But with this we're finally done! Again I want to thank everyone that joined in and contributed to the thread and watched and enjoyed everything you saw.
