Re: Tales Series

Yeah saw some videos this morning of it, looks really good. I can't believe we are getting this many Tales games back to back. The PS3 is going out strong with Xillia 2, Chronicles HD, Persona 5 (playing 4 on vita and its so god damn fun) and now Tales of ZestyItalianDressing all being exclusives. From what I've read its supposed the first worldwide release of a Tales game. If sales continue to be strong this might be a turning point for us RPG fans in the US/EU as far as Namco is concerned. At the very least we might not have to worry about them getting localized or not any more.

Re: Omikron: the Nomad Soul

Yeah I originally played it on DC with no problems as well, awesome game. Later bought it on PC. While it is the better version for sure, no reason not to play the DC copy you already have. Release that game from its plastic prison!

How I didn't notice that is beyond me lol that's badass. I used to have Sage, Kento and Dais but lost all the accessories at some point. Here's some of my WD RPG's (and my cat), I have a few more and every SHMUP they brought over but a ton of my stuff is packed right now.

Re: Recent Gaming Purchases

I would say get the first now and the second later. First has a single protagonist where the second has multiple, but both are worth playing. I replay the first one all the time. Its really fun, and you would enjoy the the way second ones game play progressed better having played the first. First one is a bit longer, has something like 30 levels if I remember correctly.

Re: Hard Genesis Games!

Mazin Saga Mutant Fighter. One of my favorite Genesis titles, you defend earth from giant beasts. First you'll play a couple parts of the level human sized, before using your suit to transform into a Godzilla sized killing machine for some of the hardest boss battles.

Another one lives up to its title, Contra: Hard Corps. It's easily the most difficult Contra game to date.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts (Read OP Before Posting)

If you ever need to download something from the US PSN store, make a second account with a fake US address.

Using this game as an example, you would need to log in to your US account and redeem all DLC vouchers for the game and install everything. Then when you log out and switch to you UK account you will have access to everything that is currently on your system. It doesn't matter where it comes from, once its there all accounts on the system can use it. This works 100% percent of the time with DLC, and most of the times with games. There are very few where it doesn't, like Final Fight from the PSN store. That one is locked down for some reason. That's how people game share. I had to use my UK account to redeem the armor DLC for MGR when it came out. I know it sucks having to go through all those steps, but at least this way you can access everything you pay for without worrying about region locks. I have several games from both UK/JP PSN store that I play and earn trophies with on my US account.

Re: Random Gaming Thoughts (Read OP Before Posting)

I didn't even notice it was limited to 5000. Glad I ordered mine already then.

Didn't they get a larger soundtrack and we got stuck with a 10 song sample? Not sure if that is true or not, but I remember reading that as well. Mine just got here, haven't opened it yet. Either way it was only $10 more than the regular edition, so was pointless not to get it. The box is freaking awesome

EDIT: if you pay with pay pal yeah you pay the whole thing up front. If you pay with credit they do a pre authorization charge that goes away after a few days, just to make sure the card is real/the funds are there. The charge has already been removed from my account

Re: Recent Gaming Purchases

Hahaha. Yeah I think I said the same thing on here back when it came out, and opted for the standard. As dumb as it sounds I couldn't stop thinking about it when I played the game. So as soon as I got handed free money I bought. I figured it would be the only special release of an AC game we ever saw here in the states. I don't remember it being limited to 250 though, the Namco page says nothing about it. I think they only did that after so few people pre ordered it.

Yeah. Had it pre-ordered from NIS, most of their LE stuff is sold exclusively through their online store now.

Re: What are you currently playing?

Change the controls to "manual" and then you will use A to attack and B to defend. Right now it's set for the computer to attack for you, not sure why the game defaults to that, takes the fun out of it. Its still not a super deep combat system, but far more enjoyable that spamming auto battle over and over lol. I love XIII don't get me wrong, the paradigm system was great, but the actual battles weren't fun to me though. Even manually selecting my abilities felt pointless knowing I could just hit auto battle and basically win everything, switching to medic roles when needed. I eventually spent most of my time in battle trying to keep the enemies juggled in the air as long as I could.

edit: i hope my lighting returns comes in soon. Everyone I know has gotten theirs, the tracking on mine hasn't been updated since the 12th.

Re: Atelier Escha & Logy (Great Game!!)

dont distract OL from the greatness that is Tales of Xillia, hes finally playing it! Now if we can just get him to go through Xenoblade (which I believe he bought but hasnt played)

That is a crime sir! How could you own it but not have played it OL! lol But yeah I was glad to see ya playing Xillia as well.

A coworker gifted me The Alchemist of Arland back when we worked at Gamestop together. I honestly tried my hardest to play through it since she spent money on it, but it just wasn't for me. I put about 20 hours or so into it and just couldn't do it. Then I borrowed Meruru (I think) from her and felt the same way about it. This one does look a little more interesting but there's too many releases the next few months. It's great to see they are still releasing these over here for fans of the series tho, since I doubt they do that well.

Yeah I was under the impression it sold great. Most people I know bought it. I just think it could of been handled differently is all. It seems he talked to 2K, and went his own route instead of thinking about his employees. I'm sure 2K would of had no problem with letting him start a smaller studio, and letting someone else take the reins of Irrational. Hopefully the displaced workers find jobs, or band together to make Rational studios. I really did enjoy their work. Too many good developers have been closing their doors as of late.

Re: Atelier Escha & Logy (Great Game!!)


I became overexposed to it because of a certain far-too-enthusiastic/obnoxious-as-hell member on here...


May follow this up with Tales of Graces F. Either that or Ni No Kuni. Or Resonance of Fate.


Ahh, speak no more. I fully understand lol I've been turned off from entire series because of people in the past. Part of the reason I've played Digital Devil Saga 1+2 and Devil Summoner 1+2, but ignored the Persona games for so long.

You know I'm a huge Tales fan, but I recommend you play Ni No Kuni or RoF next (or something else). Graces F is a good game, but there's a 50/50 chance it will ruin you're JRPG mood. It's one of those games you either love or hate.

I'm glad that Tales isn't being brushed under the rug like it once was, and Namco finally acknowledges the audience they have here. Can't wait to see what they do with Xillia 2 and Zesteria

Re: Recent Gaming Purchases

Just got a 3 month ps+ subscription.
I need to renew, I've been missing out on a ton of games lately.

Got my CE in today. Namco went all out. This is hands down the best collector's edition I've ever had/seen. Sorry for the bad picture, only posting it to show how cool it was they sent it in its own plastic display case, instead of just shrink wrapping the box (which they did as well). Zero chance of messing up the gorgeous art on the box. As a huge Tales of fan, I cannot stop smiling right now.

Re: Recent Gaming Purchases

Between the Ni No Kuni one, Verdict Day, Xillia and now Symphonia, Namco has put out some great sets over the past year or two. I'm positive Xillia 2 will get one, most likely with some kind of watch/clock. Even if its just scalpers (those bastards) buying them up for resale, money is money to Namco so we should keep getting them if they keep selling like they are. I hope Zesteria comes with a dragon statue lol

I don't know if anyone here plays/played Diablo 3 on PC, but the new update fixes pretty much everything that was wrong with it, making it more like its predecessor. The auction house has been removed, legendary drops now coincide with the class you are playing (I no longer find Monk specific weapons imbued with useless stats that are only relevant to the Wizard lol), and they have totally revamped the ability trees, making each class serve its intended purpose. Had so much fun playing it last night, can't wait for the new expansion later this month.

I think Digital River struck again. I ordered my FFX HD CE Back in December just days after they were put up for ordering. I got an email this morning saying they are on back order and do not have one to ship me at this time, and one will be sent when they have more stock. But they sure as hell charged my card already. My friend placed his order last week and got a shipping confirmation this morning... go figure. I hope I get my game, if not this will be the last time I mess with Digital River, even if it means missing out on certain titles. I just hope this doesn't happen with Drakengard 3 I preordered the DAY it was available lol. I will be extremely unhappy if that happens.

Got this in a few days ago. Ordered last summer but it got delayed twice. My arcade stick is out of commission and I'm having to use a controller lol so I've only seen the first 4 stages. Just ordered a replacement Sanwa so I'll have it fixed soon. Game play is smooth and the sprites are crisp and vibrant. Has a more laid back old school feel than Fast Striker did, which was relentless from start to finish. All of NG:Dev.Team's titles are well made, this makes their fourth on DC so far :D
