I want to like it so much, but I don't know just yet. I have having to replay parts over and over.
-
-
Well, I think I made a mistake somewhere or I'm doing something wrong. I kept getting killed by that dragon that breathes fire and now my weapons need repair badly. Only, I have no souls because I spent them all leveling up, so I have to go back and slowly redo the first level just so I can repair.
The combat is fun, though, so I'm going to try to stick with it.-

i kept dying before i could get my corpse

I have never seen a game come out of nowhere and captivate the Shack like this one. Seriously, how often does an unknown developer release an ambitious game on a difficult-to-program-for console using a bunch of untested gameplay mechanics and actually be successful?
-
From Software isn't exactly an unknown developer.
-
I had never heard of them before this :/

Yes I have heard of Armored Core and Enchanted Arms. Not familiar with Otogi. But even the other two I have never played and don't even know what genre they are.
-
Watch this trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EZySNXLnCtQ
The Otogi games are forgotten, but if you like massive amounts of particle effects there's really nothing like them.-

Most of their games are ugly and poorly made, full of shitty mechanics and about as niche as humanly possible.
I guess Demon's Souls is kinda like that, only this time it looks like they did something right. -
-
I really like both Tenchu Z and Ninja Blade. Before those I never heard of them, too though

I have a PS3 I just don't want to plunk down $70 on a game just yet... my girlfriend would kill me
-
-
He never said he had to get permission. What if it's that he doesn't have the money and to get it he would have to put it on his credit card. He knows he'll regret it but is having a hard time not impulse buying shit on credit. The comment about his girlfriend is because she'll give him shit for doing what they both know he'll regret.
-
right now I do, I'm on EI and she's working...

I'm in Canada the normal edition is 69.99 and the deluxe is 79.99

haha just dont tell her.
-
It looks cool but the difficulty is a deal-killer for me, maybe if I get a chance to play it and see for myself sometime. Sounds pretty frustrating from what I've read.
-
Games like this, and like Monster Hunter, are far less frustrating because when you get completely owned, you start to realize it's because of a fundamental flaw in your strategy, that you're failing to approach the fight from the right direction/take into account all the factors, as opposed to Mega Man 9 or Ninja Gaiden which are cheap and janky as hell and your deaths are as much a result of the game being cheap as you being bad at the game.
-
They need to make a Monster Hunter for PS3 and forget the PSP stuff.
-
Yea, but you lose all your shit if you die twice right? That would get old pretty fast, because I'm sure I would die a lot more than that quite frequently.
-
Pretty sure you don't lose your equipment, just souls.
-
Can you cash them in for shit or something? This is what would happen to me: I would spend 8 hours beating the first level, get a bunch of souls, and in the first 5 seconds of the 2nd level I would get beat down repeatedly until I had none left. At that point I would contemplate throwing the game out the window, and probably never pick it up again.
-
-
Ahh ok, that's not too bad.
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
I am. That's why I don't like getting pounded in the nuts repeatedly.
-
-
:(
I'll wait till it's on sale and buy a copy.
-
-
-
-
is it too hard to figure out what you did wrong and trry a different strategy?
-
I dunno - man it's challenging but not brutal. I made it through the first boss only dying once and it was totally my fault what happened. I reclaimed my body/souls there and all was right. Even if i lost it - no big deal, souls are like money - just go get more or grind it out if you want. enemies respawn. More important thing is understanding how to be careful and wary - thats' what so fun about it - that suspense.

Ok, let's talk about how fucking awesome Valkyria Chronicles is instead.
http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-hd-valkyria-chronicles/43160-

That mission pissed me off initially because it was the one mission that really forced you to start over a few times until you learned the tank's path. Every other mission I've played so far has had a lot of flexibility in how I could approach them, but that one really demanded that I take out the guns as quick as possible, prestage units to not fall within the kill zone whenever the tank moves and shoot down the ruins every turn possible to stall the tank.
Felt really drawn out and was only really interesting during the first turn and after the reinforcements arrived. I had two snipers in the lower right corner of the map just fucking dominating the enemies from behind :D-
What's-her-name totally ran over my entire force, which was mostly stationed around that trench in the middle, and I ended up beating the last radiator and the tank itself with the Edelweiss pinned against the right wall, an engineer hunkered down behind it, and an ineffective lancer drawing fire from the last base camp.
-
once i realized she couldn't damage the tank, that mission went from "OH FUCK PLEASE DON'T KILL ME OH SHIT OH SHIT OH SHIT" to: Play turn, realize tank moved to a spot where my tank would die at the end of their turn, reload save, ensure tank was not in that spot this time, keep everyone hiding behind my tank if they weren't upstairs, rinse, repeat.
I had a lot of guys go down on that mission, but thankfully no one perma died.-
Same thing happened to me. One of my guys died, but it was a random heavy gunner filler that i thought i would try for this mission. i stopped playing for a couple of months after this mission, being burnt on it and all, but when I started back, the awesome just blew my face again. good times.

it gets alot better after that, you get a second tank and weapons start getting additional upgrades.

The gametrailers review said if you are logged into the PSN other people can try to join your game, so I'm guessing as long as you stay off the PSN you are fine.

MAN UP
