I'm semi new to this game and I've found this combination of heroes to work very well for me. Are there any weaknesses I should be aware of in the future (I'm still pretty low level), and any good hidden synergies that might not be obvious?
Been toying with the idea of replacing the MMA with a BH.
I finally managed to complete Ray Gigant. It took me over two months. I didn't die once, and it wasn't very difficult, but I was so disappointed that I ended up abandoning it weeks at a time. I got hooked at the first chapters, but once I hit the first milestone (completed chapter 5/6) it had overstayed its welcome. Every time the scenario changed, I would abandon the game and return a few weeks later and forced myself through it. The last dungeon was almost like going to the dentist, and it just kept going.
I really enjoyed the developers other games, but this one was really hard to play.
The only positive I have to say about the game is the music, animations and cool/unique looking bosses.
The story was bad, the characters unlikeable and soulless. I don't mind the whole virtual novel inspiration, it was just badly written. The new combat system was horrible, I can't put into words how infuriating the whole energy system is. I found the food to be a nice gimmick, but I ended up with 3 starving characters and couldn't be bothered with spam eating. The change of scenario was (IMO) a bad idea and starting fresh each time was infuriating. There was so much repetition throughout the game, you were constantly doing the same thing over and over again.
I appreciate what experience Inc tried to do, and them being experimental, but it ended up with a game that's inferior in pretty much every way to their other games, with no saving graces.
I almost shed a tear of happiness when I saw the end credits, as now I can finally move on to one of their other games.
I would rate the game 6/10 and while I've played many average/bad games in my lifetime (35+ years), this one hurt a lot more as I really loved their other games.
/Rant
Playing SSF hardcore on single player. I'm playing a vengeance paladin with focus on Damage Reduction (not %). So I've been hunting for a Gerkes, String Of Ears, an Iron Pelt and a Vampire Gaze from NM Mephisto before moving to hell.
So far after three days I've got:
3x Gerkes
0x Iron Pelt
0x String Of Ears
0x Vampire Gaze
But I did pick up:
2x Soj
2x HoZ
7x Ravenfrost
And went from 29% unique and 34% set in my chronicle to 53% unique and 66% set items. I guess I'll have an anni waiting for me when I go to Hell.
I'm almost done with YS 1 (chronicles on PSP), and what is up with the music? Went from super peaceful intro to metal/rock non stop? Coming from other JRPG genres like Final Fantasy/Shadow Hearts/etc this came as a shock. Is there this much metal in each Ys game or is it just early on? 🤣
A friend of mine is about to get rid of his Wii U, as after doing a reset on it (formatting it), when he tries to start it he gets an error. As he knows I'm a collector and I don't have a Wii U, he's willing to part with it for a very low price.
Just wanted to hear If someone has experienced something similar. I don't know the specific error, he can't remember it and it has been packed away for half a year. He just said he did a reset and then it just gave him an error when he tried to start it again.
I've been on the hunt for a PAL 2000 vita (Slim) that came in the original box, not bundled together with a game. After looking for a bit over half a year, I finally found one that was in mint condition (both the box and the vita) and CIB. Most of the ones I saw were bundled together with a game, which is just a white box with a slip on game cover, or they were from the UK and either missing items or in average condition. While they're everywhere in Japan, it was surprisingly hard to find one in EU that didn't come in a bundle.
After having found both cradles, the 3 different types of Vita's CIB and other accessories, it's time to focus on the games.
I'm still hunting for a UK Pal copy, but for 25€ with the manual and in good quality I couldn't pass on it.
I've been collecting games for the vita since around February/March. I told myself to mainly focus on games that I know I'll enjoy playing, and so far I've played half of them. With the exception of a few limited release titles, they're all PAL EU (UK version). The most difficult part of hunting these down was sticking to the UK version. I could have picked them up quite a bit cheaper if I didn't care about the language (French, German, etc).
Shoutout to the PlayStation TV. I enjoyed a lot of the titles on that little console.
Is this somehow not a feature, or am I just blind? Sections for games from each console?
Can't figure out which one of these two was released in EU and which one in the US. Normally I look at the rating but neither of these two versions have a rating?
I've been playing Ray Gigant, and so far I'm not that impressed, it's a 6-7/10 in my opinion. Now for the question.
When you change the scenario (chapter 6 -> 7) and main character, what happens with any resources that you haven't spent on the initial 3 companions? Do they just disappear? Should I have used them up before moving on to the next section?
Do you focus on a few, or do you collect for many different consoles?
I used to collect PS1 and PS2 with a few pickups for PS3 but I always kept it a small collection with a focus. Now I've put the PS1/2/3 collecting to the side and focus mainly on the Vita. It makes collecting easier and quicker as I'm just browsing for the Vita, and it's also saving me a lot of space.
What do you do? How many consoles do you collect for and how do you deal with a lack of space?
I've seen people posting their pick ups for the week, with some pictures even having games from 5+ different consoles in them, and while I respect that, I couldn't imagine doing it myself.
I'm a seasoned DRPG enthusiast who started back in the days with M&M and Wizardry. I'm also a collector of Vita games, so now I get to enjoy Japanese DRPGs.
​
So far I've completed Mary Skelter, Strangers of Sword City and Demon Gaze (1). I wanted to save Dungeon Travellers 2 for last, as I heard that one is considered the best out of the bunch.
​
Right now I'm torn between Operation Abyss, Demon Gaze 2 or Ray Gigant. I recently beat Demon Gaze, so on one hand I want to continue the series, and on the other hand I wanted to try something else before I jump into the sequel.
​
What would you pick?
My Silent Hill 3 and Origins copies that I bought from the local GameStop for 79kr (danish) each with a 10kr protection fee in case the game decided to stop working. That's 12 euros for each game (CIB), including the protection fee.
I can't help but miss the old days. Games were actually accessible for normal people, and you could pick up a console and five awesome games for a great price. You might not be able to afford the brand new PS3, but you could pick up a PS2 and some great games for 1/10th of the price. That just doesn't happen today.
Anyone tried to put a PSP go with a battery mod and custom back shell into the cradle? Will it fit? It doesn't look like it?
What would be the optimal TV for my PS Vita TV? Right now I've plugged it into my 4k (65) gaming TV that I use for the PS5 Pro. The colours look great but I feel like the screen is too big for the resolution.
Is it possible to avoid installing the ultimate vault hunter pack (1) by just having it on pause indefinitely?
The experts at Catawiki might be the most clueless people in the Industry.
300€+ for a 1100 vita that is said to be in very good condition, but has some of the worst orange I've seen around the edges.
I'm curious if this cradle is a fake? It's the only one I've seen online where it says cradle with cables in the upper corner?
I don't get why they would bother with a fake?
Never seen one of these before, who were they given to?
