You fuse items, but not characters. The leveling is far more straight forward as is the item fusing. They listened and made it more simple. You crush items to make simple parts and use to upgrade weapons of the same type. So break an amber sword, fuse parts to an amber sword. Other minor parts are used to further the weapon upgrades.DeadProxy said:Heard there was fusing in the Bersaria game and immediately stopped caring. Jrpg's are getting so fucking convoluted.
Time to quit: like 8-12 hours? Not redownloading the game just to double check.
Since I loved and played that GameDornedas said:For me it probably would be Risen 2.
The reason were the animations. The characters arms were just aimlessly flailing around.
It looks as if Piranha Bytes had an octopus do the mo-cap for them.
I had something similar with Golden Sun 2 but I didn't count it since I didn't really gave it a chance.Scarim Coral said:Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn.
While it doesn't help that I didn't like the transition from the FE 2D game to a 3d screen (it wasn't the graphic issue, the battle animation is so slow in 3D). It is made worse that I had to played a character I found to be unlikeable (Micah) in the first part of the campaign. I just hate her attitude toward Ike, the hero from the last game. Yes I get her nation was in ruin after the first game but it was like a Nazi telling us they did no wrong during WW2. Seriously, since I hated the main character, why should I help her in the fist place?
Ok sure I did finish her campaign but it pretty much put me in a bad mood that stop me from playing anymore of it!
In that game you start as the characters that you have been hunting in Golden Sun 1, I think. It's been a few years since I played it.
And since I don't play the bad guy in games I decided to not play it.
The problem here was that I played it during a very interesting university lecture. And my seatmate didn't agree with my assessment that they are the bad guys. This might or might not have devolved into a loud argument with plenty of shouting.
To be honest: I absolutely believe that the guys in Golden Sun 2 might turn out to be the good guys in the end. I seem to remember that it was a beholder that told you they are evil and beholders are not exactly trust-worthy.
Yeah, its more of a historical curiosity at best nowadays. Its got way too much stuff trying to be hodge=podged together and either the tech wasn't good enough or the devs weren't good enough to really make it work. It has obvious influences on later stuff (Mostly Deus Ex recently), but the game itself is largely stuck in awkward transition phase.Yoshilord said:System Shock 2- I don't think it's aged well at all, and throws way too many gameplay mechanics at you at once in the tutorial.
I thought it was pretty fun when I was a kid. I remember liking it more than Crazy Taxi, but I only rented that one and can't remember much about it.MetalDooley said:The Simpsons: Road Rage
Got it as part of a bundle when I bought my Gamecube. Played for about 40 mins. Brought it back to the store the next day and traded it in. If you haven't played it (and I don't recommend you do) it's a Crazy Taxi rip off that they somehow managed to remove all the fun from
I put up with those horrendous controls right up until the first "sex scene", after which I just laughed a little, shook my head and uninstalled the game. I want to reward innovation in games, but it has to be innovation I enjoy.Vendor-Lazarus said:Witcher
An original(?) rpg game praised to the heavens? Without DRM? Everything sounded amazing. Never heard a single complaint really. Odd.
I did not enjoy choosing between a clunky isometric view or a skewed third person (over-the-shoulder) view. New, exciting, original is not always good. Tried and true is so for a reason. I've always wondered if they changed it in the sequels..I don't dare try it and no review or gamer ever really touch upon such "trivial" things such as viewpoint and game-play/mechanics when describing a game. The combat wasn't all that either..
I could see a kid enjoying it but the problem was I was in my 20's when I played it. From what I remember the vehicles were slower than Crazy Taxi, it didn't have the licenced soundtrack and all the characters spouted annoying catchphrases non stop. Not the worst game I've ever played but after 30-40 mins you'd pretty much seen everything the game had to offer. Traded it in for Rogue Leader the next dayDrathnoxis said:I thought it was pretty fun when I was a kid.

If it makes you feel any better, I played Dark Souls, got into it quickly and then decided to try demons souls. I beat the first boss(the phalax) and haven't been able to get past the long bridge yet. On one hand, it does feel very much like Dark Souls, but it doesn't guite have the same "gotta play this" hook DS had.TheVampwizimp said:Demons' Souls (is that how you spell it?). My brother loves the game and after watching him play a ton of it, I gave it a shot, and after about two hours of fumbling around, absolutely whiffing on parries and getting skewered by every enemy above basic skeletons, I gave it up.
Weird part is, a year later I decided to try Dark Souls, I'm not even sure why, and it didn't take long for me to catch up to it and it became one of my favorite games.
I've often wondered if I could go back and translate my Souls skills to the original, but that first attempt just makes me feel really sour about it.
Yeah, I played E for like 2 hours. I like the idea and the gameplay seems fine. It's a good game I can't seem to get into. The problem is there doesn't seem to be enough to hook me into going on.SlumlordThanatos said:I played Elite: Dangerous for about 15 minutes before I quit and got a refund for it.
I'm desperate for a good space sim, but the controls for Dangerous just felt strange in my hands. I flew around in the combat tutorial for a while before giving up.
Oh, well.
This. People just LOVE New Vegas. I was instantly bored with the setting though. Honestly, for some reason, Fallout's universe just does NOT appeal to me even though that doesn't make sense to even me.Fiz_The_Toaster said:Fallout: New Vegas.
I like Bethesda games, and I heard that this one had an amazing story and that it was gonna knock my socks right off.
I played for about 3 hours before I just stopped. I mainly faffed about, like any normal game from them, but I got bored. It was the environment that did absolutely nothing for me. Mainly because I live in the desert and I don't find the desert all that interesting.
Kinda defeats the purpose in exploring a game's setting and seeing what goes on in the story when I don't care about it enough to wander around, really.
