Time to keep playing through Shadow Hearts because it's so awesome. (Part 2!)

KleenexTissue50 | Posted 5/8/2007 8:57:30 PM | message detail | #401
Psh, you just don't know what's good.

Most of my top games you've already played, though, so I dunno...

You hate Xeno...played Suikoden...not sure if you've played any of the Mana games, but I don't really think you'd be into them.

Chrono you've done already...

*shrug*

Oh wait.

I haven't played Summon Night, but a quick Google Search makes me not want to.

Care to explain?

if you play Koudelka, get ready for some piss-poor gameplay. if you can swallow that, you may enjoy it.

I can't vouch for its great story because I've never managed to get beyond the battle system.

I've played Secret of Mana and a little bit of SD3, but yeah, I wasn't too into them.

Ah, yeah, that's what I've heard. I'll have to see if I can get it working on an emulator.

There are a few games I want to get a DS for. Most notably, Castlevania and Hotel Dusk. I've never really had much interest in Phoenix Wright. It seems like a fun little game, though.

I was skeptical about PW as well. it looks kinda stupid and faddy and comical and all that.. but it's actually a rather ingenious game with interesting stories. even if you don't like it, you should try it out.

Yuri alone absolutely smashes most games' entire casts. He's such a well developed, round, dynamic character that if I hear anyone on this board being all like "lol games dont have good characters" I'm going to e-punch them in their e-faces.

^_^

Now you just need to get into Splinter Cell and Megaman games that feature Zero and you will be a full fledged kylesciple.

Hell, we share our favorite character now and a good portion of the rest of your top ten appear in my lists.

If you hear you say one nasty comment about my taste in gaming I am going to e-punch you in your e-face.

I put in a little more time into Covenant and did a few more of the sidequests...


-- I went through the Dog Shrine. That place was pretty annoying with all the pieces you had to collect and put in and whatnot. I eventually just hit up a FAQ to get through it quicker. I see the Floating Pillow was still kicking !!


-- The battle against Saki rocked my world the first time. She ended up OHKOing me after using Energy Charge. I ended up coming back, reequipping Kurando, and then using a couple of Third Keys to win it. His final fusion is just...weird. I like his other more, myself.


-- The scene with Yuri and his dad after you get the Reborn Droplet and go into the Graveyard was awesome. And Yuri's Dark Seraphim (aww yeah i got it) is badass. For the Child is insane. Best looking fusion, too.


-- I went through the Neam Ruins, and it actually wasn't as bad as I was expecting. Moving around on the blocks was pretty simple, although I didn't get every chest that was in there. Anastasia probably had her best scene confronting that boss, too, asking him what he's going to do after he rules the world and him being like "Uh... umm... I'll think about it!"


-- Dark Seraphim is awesome. Need to say again.

trannyscience | Posted 5/9/2007 8:39:41 PM | message detail | #444
Dark Seraphim (more like Seraphic Radiance) is pretty cool, but SH1's is far more overpowered. an all attack that does 999 to all? yeesh. For the Children is all kinds of fun.

SH2's wins because For Everyone isn't broken though.. in SH1, agility spells speed up the ring. that's just dumb.

I still need to go back and get Seraphic Radiance in SH1, too. I figured they were the same thing, although it looked like the wings in SH1's version were coming out of its head, which was just weird.



Oh, and I got Yuri's Chimera Claw by doing another one of Bacon's 10 ring deals. Hilarious exchange beforehand with Yuri and Bacon trying to decide who runs on the treadmill thing.

Like a seventh key only...


You only have your PERFECT hit area (I recommened one attack with 99 perfects on it)

AND

the ring spins until you miss.


I connected with it 471 times with Yuri on normal ring. I have heard stories of those hitting it up to 1000 times!!!!

OR

You can use auto ring and connect with it once and it will fill out the rest for up to 10,000 hits.

Its nifty.
