    Christ, you're not kidding. Omega elementals + Star at 25, great uniques, OP overload. Haven't even looked at the evilities yet.

    Yes and no. You'll be barraged with a bunch of shit that you don't understand like innocents on items - items with "Manager" or "Gladiator" or whatever on them - but immediate comprehension isn't ever required. The story mode is 30+ hours of sustained acclimation, after which the postgame...

    The RPG Thread

    I thought about preordering from NISA, but I've had some really shitty luck with preordering games from sites that aren't Amazon. They always arrive late. And yeah, I fucking hate Gamestop. I stopped by Walmart to see if they had it, but they're apparently not even stocking it - you gotta buy...

    The RPG Thread

    Thought I'd share a sort of funny aside. When I went to Gamestop around noon (first time in months, card's been expired for years) to get the game I asked the clerk how many she'd sold. She said I was the second person to buy a copy. I know this shit is niche, but wow - wasn't expecting that.

    Early (~25 minute) impressions of Disgaea 5 are extremely positive. They've continued the process of streamlining some of the more annoying mechanics that D2 started, my favorite so far being that class creation requires HL instead of mana. The main base is also closer to 3/4's large single...

    Bloodborne

    Yeah, that's exactly wat I meant. The only thing I did intentionally for trophies is cloud save to get the 3 endings and I got like 80%

    Definitely a bug and a pretty annoying one. Same shit happened to me - accepted immediately and had to contend with invite spam thereafter.

    Bloodborne

    That's about where I quit. For a fairly difficult game the plat is absurdly easy, but I couldn't force myself through that final push.

    Glad I dropped this shit after blowing all my gems on Griff batch and getting nothing, then.

    Summer 2015 Anime Thread

    Finished Gate, decided to rewatch Attack on Titan and learned something obvious but nonetheless unrecognized about my anime habits. Even though I don't know Japanese, I tend to multitask to an extent when watching anime. I'm not saying to play games or read the news or anything, but I tend to...

    The RPG Thread

    Those Disgaea 5 reviews are really solid. I know it's not exactly a jrpg, but this series almost always scoring 80+ on metacritic is pretty remarkable, what with western critics' hostility to the genre as a whole. The original Shadow Hearts is what finally convinced me to ignore reviews at...

    The RPG Thread

    Yeah, but the existence of a sequel doesn't preclude a developed post-game. You're right, though, that I shouldn't have assumed there'd be a lot to do after beating the story.

    I finished Xillia about a month ago - pretty good, but there's not really any post-game shit to do minus one really annoying dungeon. Going through Disgaea 4 right now and it's become a pretty familiar experience - utter addiction until I beat the game and for about 20 hrs after, then the...

    I used a Dion lead + Quaid + Loch and my scores skyrocketed fwiw. Dunno where he stands anymore but Dion is hella good and I never understood why he never seemed to mentioned for...anything.

    What did you just read?

    I read that book a few years ago. It's as good as claimed. Interestingly, I found myself thinking Austria was more culpable than Germany.

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I still can't quite pull the trigger on that game. My JRPG backlog is still like 10 games (not even including 3DS here) and the following months are pretty robust. It looks fun, though. edit: And 3 of those games are Disgaea-length games. And by that I mean they're Disgaea games. Then...

    2016 fucking sucks. I guess it helps that we're not really hurting for shit to play, though.

    Brave Frontier

    Bf is indisputably more generous to f2pers than a lot of games because the quality of a summoned unit has little to do with how many stars it has when summoned. In Summoners War, a 5 star unit was frequently leagues ahead of a 4 star unit, and they were rare as all fuck. Units could be...

    Brave Frontier

    I'll read them because it's pretty much what happened to me. I got a bunch of stellar pulls that I had nonetheless relegated to the "one day I will have a team for these" category and before I knew it there were only half a dozen units I really wanted - Zenia and pretty much the entire new batch...

    Hah, glad somebody mentioned experiencing the pain that did me in. A constant stream of consolation prizes quickly loses its capacity to mitigate utter DESPAIR

    Dark Souls 2

    The hierarchy continues to evolve for me, but I do know for certain that I vastly prefer Dark Souls 2 to Bloodborne (and to any of them except perhaps Dark Souls 1). I guess I give more weight to the importance of build variety and solid pvp than you might. I also found Bloodborne (maybe?) the...

    What did you just read?

    Give Blood Meridian a go if you haven't. A lot of people I'd considered to be utter snobs have been proclaiming loudly that McCarthy sold out and started writing bestsellers shit. I enjoyed The Road, but after reading BM I have to concede they have a point. It's far more difficult -...

    Witcher 3

    I read an article right after the game launched that said the game cost something like $34 million, which is one-third to one-half the cost of a lot of major releases.

    Metal Gear Solid V

    Still only on mission 3 but I think it's incredible so far. Problem is most of my gaming time has been spent on Disgaea 4 in preparation for 5. I do find I have less patience at 30 than I did at 15 for flawless stealth runs, and the issue is compounded by the fact that I am MORE obsessive now...

    Summer 2015 Anime Thread

    You guys are really hyping this season up for me, but I'm not the kind of guy that wants to keep up with many shows at a time so I'm waiting til a few seasons end. Meantime, watching the 2012 Jojo. It's pretty great.

    Goddamn, I used to be really good at these games. Got detected half a dozen times, killed 4 guards and got a C on the first mission

    Heh, you're kinda right. Maybe it'd be clearer if I wasnt looking at tiny images on my phone, but as for what I'm seeing now, only the second set shows dramatic dfferences.

    Uncharted 4: A Thief's End

    90% playing normally? We're not playing the same games. The highest I have for any game is Bloodborne at 80%, and it wasn't quite normal - I saved and reloaded for the 3 endings. I'm not too big a trophy guy generally, but I generally finish games with 30-60% after having gone after easier...

    Not gonna bother cropping a long quote on my phone but re: the good times - yeah, awesome stuff and I'll miss it. Honestly what did me in was my ridiculous luck. I never got the unit I wanted at any given time, but I got quality pulls all the time, and it became so frequent that all I really...

    Logarius was easily the hardest boss in the game for me and one of maybe two or three that even remotely compares to an average Souls boss. I think it was almost 10 attempts for me.

    Did 5 because I'm stupid. Got another Bestie. /duck. Also Sixgear and Yuura and another Dion. My incredible luck with extremely solid pulls that I don't fucking want continues. I just need Rinon for my Oracle Knight collection - hell, another Yuura and two Rinons and I'd have summoned two...
