Well, it's that time again

[Dark Pulse]

Too bad that I bought that port then... but to my credit, it is because:

1) I felt like I was sinning for not having at least one actual, non-pirate copy of the game.
2) The PS2 version is fucking hard to find for a decent price
3) No PSP, so no Afternoon of Darkness for me otherwise.

However, it is unopened, as I AM A NORSE GOD OF TRICKERY AND SEDUCTION.

[It is a mystery.]

Pleinaire must be the most loved NPC ever! That is, if your talking about who i think you are.

[Van_Artic]

Also, as a serious N1 fan, I strongly oppose purchasing the DS port of Disgaea.  Every single game they directly develop that has Harada as the artist has Pleinaire as a cameo character, and ONLY a cameo character.  Making her a playable character in the DS port (which is shitty to begin with) is like a sin!  HOLY FUCKING SHIT NERD RAGE LEVELS REACHING MAXIMUM ITS GOOFY TIME

wat. she really is? oh god i want to try that

now my Xbox360 came back from assistance (i got an E74 Error) so i'm starting on Bayonetta and Soul Calibur 4, Disgaea will wait

Yo, ease up on the piracy talk.  You should know better.

Also- what, THIS PS2 COPY?!


I got it shortly after launch.  I didn't know it was hard to find these days.  PSP version is probably the best though, since they added some cool stuff without gaying it up.

Pleinaire must be the most loved NPC ever! That is, if your talking about who i think you are.

YES.  She's so adorable~  If you ever go to Harada's site, his archived drawings are like 80% Pleinaire.  lol

wat. she really is? oh god i want to try that

D=  How could you say such a thing?  I thought you were my bro, Van.  Don't you defile her with your dirty hands!

damn you loli bitch

is the DS version that BAD???

[Ice Queen Lotus]

I don't like the PSP version because of the counter bug. I've had it crash too many times because of that.

The DS version, though, has no JP voices, and a downsampled soundtrack. Drawbacks to each.

[Dark Pulse]

Nothing wrong with doing what I did, for the record - I *DO* own the game. But I get the message. Touchy subject and all.

And yes. Soundtrack is downsampled slightly due to being sequenced music as opposed to the original PS2 ADPCM Stream audio. It is remixed very slightly.

Maybe when I actually got money, I'll look for it again for PS2. I do have Disgaea 2 for PS2 since they actually released it in decent numbers. Sadly, no Disgaea 3 in the future for me unless I can get a PS3, or they port it to other systems. Unlikely...

[academico]

I already finished X6, any suggestions???

[Dark Pulse]

X5, if you haven't played it, is pretty good too.

Also the Megaman Legends games aren't that bad. And Roll Caskett and Tron Bonne are every pedobear's wet dream at some point.

[ShinMasaki]

Also- what, THIS PS2 COPY?!

Yep, I've got that...and 2 and 3...and X-Edge...and Phantom Brave (PS2)...and Makai Kingdoms...and La Pucelle Tactics

NIS = win

Yes i played it and the X1 X2 X3 X4.

X7 is shit in my opinion, in my head the history finish in X6.

[LoliSauce]

X Edge looked like ass.  =\  I didn't check it out at all.

[Shiki]

X Edge looked like ass.  =\  I didn't check it out at all.

It kinda is in my opinion. You get like 3 characters in every stage, a bunch of skills that you wondering what character(s) requirements are needed. In my opinion, pass by it.

I started going back to some old school RPGs. Most of them are much better than the new stuff released.

*gets list*

I'm currently playing these for now:

Legend of Dragoon
Yggdra Union (PSP ver. Going to replay it again for Hard Mode.)
Tales of Destiny 2 (PSP ver. Already finished it but playing again for fun.)

After I finish those up I still need to finish up/start:

Final Fantasy 13
Disgaea 2 DHD (Need to grind)
Chrono Cross (Need to start)
Legend of Legaia (Started but at the beginning)
Tales of Destiny Director's Cut (Need to play Leon's side)
.Hack GU Vol 3. Redemption (Started but at the beginning)
Rogue Galaxy (I don't even remember where I'm at in this game)

Bleh, way to many games. I'm thinking about dropping Dragoon though. Does it get better later on is Disc 3 and 4? I'm currently on Disc 2.

[Ice Queen Lotus]

Oh god, do I choose sexy hot bishounen Roswell, or evil maniacal loli Rosalie (lol Rosary)?!

I know Rosary is better overall because she just needs an ATK bump and edible ATK items are easy to find.

[PWS]

X7 is shit in my opinion, in my head the history finish in X6.

X8 wasn't that bad. There's also all the MMZ games, then the ZX games.

I bought Cross Edge before I knew anything about it because the concept sounded cool. It's still in the shrink wrap in my room, several months later, just like Arcana Heart 2.

X1-4 and L1-2 are the only mm games worth paying money for anymore, outside of the original series. BN3 was only good if you had friends to play multiplayer with. Otherwise it sucked.

[ShinMasaki]

So, with that in mind, what are those games that regularly give you the urge to revisit them?

Really not sure why, but THIS game keeps making me want to come back to it for more shenanigans. Any and all of its incarnations, but I've mostly been spending time with its latest version.

Think I need some help with this.

[LoliSauce]

Yo, straight up I think that MMZ1-3 were the best of any of the games, for story and for gameplay.  I'm not one for asshole difficulty platformers though, so my opinion is usually skewed compared to the usual MM fanbase (who prefer the originals).

MMZ definitely shouldn't be overlooked if you like the X-style games, at least. I didn't "pay money" for them myself, but I would have. Just didn't have a GBA to play them on, my eyes aren't good enough to play games like that on a small screen. RPGs or something sure, but not hard action games. The ZX games have some neat concepts and they're not a waste of time or anything, the acting is terrible though.

.exe 6 was also pretty awesome, if it wasn't for the whole storyline circling the old 'I'm older and bigger than you, so we'll settle this with our navis! WHO'S A BAD MAN?' of nearly all the major battles in the series.

As for Disgaea, I still have to complete the side-quests. I need to suck it up and grind, grind, grind, which would be easier if I didn't have a tendency to create one of each type of character and level them all...

I beat all of the super hard battles with just Laharl, because I didn't want to spend xx hours of grinding per each member of my team.  For Baal, I had to cheese my way to victory the first time, by lift sacrificing my other team members until I whittled him down with just Laharl, lol.  I have killed prinny baal in a single attack before though, which was pretty much the most glorifying thing ever.

[HRGS|忍]

...I liked Command Mission. New characters were cool and the story wasn't all that bad either. The fighting system was simple yet addictive and fun. X and Zero's 2nd Overdrive Modes were broken and the 9Tails Gang were the best side-bosses I've ever fought against in an RPG ever.

[ShinMasaki]

Well, here I am 30 hours into my third playthrough of Tales of Vesperia (I love this game) and I am still finding new sidequests I never knew were in this game.

By third playthrough, I mean third time playing it...I beat the game once, new game plused it...then the data corrupted. So, third time through, new game file, still loving this game. As far as the storyline goes, I think I'm overpowered enough to beat the game in full right now, but there are a bunch of little side stuff and finding all the skits is fun too. Going for a full 100% completion (not on this run because that is impossible) overall. This game is cool, to 100%, you have to new game+ at least once, probably twice, to 100%. My favorite of all the Tales games so far.

[Alfonse]

Seeing that you're a vesperia veteran, can you enlighten me when is the earliest anyone in your party can pull off his or her hi-ougi? I'm currently at the Port of Capua Nor, and I assume that's still awfully early game.
