Dude, stop crying.

The way you feel here is the same way I feel when you cry about multi-posting.

 

[Liverslapper]

Stormy, you should just start 4 then play 3. Then after 3 play Nocturne. AHHH I can't wait till that arrives.

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I agree, 3 is better played after 4. You might as well get the best experience while your Atlus high is going strong.

Nocturne is going to scare you with its gr1m and frostbitten organs. Also Thor is such a badass in that game. Unlike Odin who looks stupid.

 

[El Stormo]

The black chick? She doesn't join you, sir.

Ah, too bad. Also, I think she's just supposed to be darker-skinned

Oh just a reminder, in 3 if you hook up with anybody and cheat on them they will find out and your social link gets reversed, then it's very hard to get back up.

Oh, I'm the faithful type ^_^

The way you feel here is the same way I feel when you cry about multi-posting.

There was a longer answer here originally, but forget it, you're just looking for a response and I won't give you the satisfaction.

And just so you know, I haven't complained about multi-posting in ages, whereas your complaining about my alleged complaining has only increased. Just thought I'd pass that little tidbit along.

Stormy, you should just start 4 then play 3. Then after 3 play Nocturne. AHHH I can't wait till that arrives.

I'm neurotic for playing games in order, plus 4 hasn't arrived yet, so I won't be able to play it even if I wanted to. And to be honest, I'm having a lot of fun with 3 too, and that's what's most important

I agree, 3 is better played after 4. You might as well get the best experience while your Atlus high is going strong.

Oh, even if I don't want more after completing 3, I'll just play different games until I feel like playing some more Atlus games.

Nocturne is going to scare you with its gr1m and frostbitten organs. Also Thor is such a badass in that game. Unlike Odin who looks stupid.

What's the deal with Nocturne, though? Is it the same as Lucifer's Call? Because in Europe, I can only find Lucifer's Call, but nothing simply called "Shin Megami Tensei Noturne".

 

[Liverslapper]

I maxed out the Justice Arcana. One down

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Lucifers Call is Nocturne with the needed add ons. Should be all you need.

I really think you should start with 4 though, man. It's a good notch better than 3. :/

 

[Liverslapper]

Wonderful. Can't use the ultimate justice persona until i hit level 74.

 

[El Stormo]

I maxed out the Justice Arcana. One down

Ah yes, the Justice Social Link was apparently one I'd missed on my first game. I hate the shit out of permanently-missable things in games.

Lucifers Call is Nocturne with the needed add ons. Should be all you need.

Excellent.

I really think you should start with 4 though, man. It's a good notch better than 3. :/

Good, so I can enjoy 3 and look forward to an even better experience with 4 ^_^


Also, an interesting opinion from another forum:

Anyone who thinks Digital Devil Saga is not worth bothering with is an idiot and shouldn't be allowed to have an opinion

Rebuttal, gentlemen?

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

Yes. Here is my rebuttal.

Digital Devil Saga is like the Final Fantasy of Atlus games except the characters are static, unlikable and the combat system is trite. The world is excellent, I'll give it that. I'm a fan of the steam punk setting. But the writing isn't. Oh no, a rival character I just met literally an hour ago WHEN I STARTED THE GAME died. Why should I care? Meanwhile Argilla is crying her eyes out over some bitch she met ONCE. None of the characters get you emotionally attached. In fact, most of them either have no personality, or the most generic mundane personalities known to man kind. "ME HOT HEADED BRUTE. ME LIKE FIGHTING THINGS." When I played DDS, I felt right away like Atlus was telling me "Here are these characters, and heres why you should care", instead of giving me a REASON or TIME to care about these awful characters.

Gameplay consist of dungeon crawl, cut scene, dungeon crawl, cut scene. I don't play RPG's to have my hand held. If you like a game that lays every single aspect of your experience and your path out in stone, there's better still RPG's to play. Not to mention the game is easy as hell. (aside from the secret boss fight with the Nocturne character) The karma terminals are the stupidest idea ever. Why should I have to go run and find a terminal every time I max a mantra so the experience a character gets isn't useless?

And customization is a joke. You're basically going to have a generic attacker, magic user, healer, or one character who is balanced in two. Don't get me started on the storyline. It seemed very promising but it's execution was so bad I won't even bother with it. Part 2 was even worse, and I didn't think that would be possible.

And anyone who calls anyone an "idiot" because they disagree with their opinion needs to be smacked off that high horse and accept the fact that people have different taste. Grow up.

 

[El Stormo]

Heh, striking words my friend. I'll post your rebuttal on the other forum for some juicy cross-forum bickering

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

 

[Liverslapper]

I'm becoming such a fan of the shin megami tensei series that I'm gonna have to play them all, regardless of how much they might suck.

Reactor dungeon here I come...

 

[Kulak]

SMT series is amazing, check out devil summoner it is one of my fave ones (on ps2)

 

[Liverslapper]

I have DS 2 but not one. I have to order it.

 

[Kulak]

Oh it is defiantly worth it if you liked two then you will most likely like one as well.

have you played digital devil saga? that is another good one to play.

DAY EIGHT – GOOGLE THIS!


This round is simple – name the source (it's not always a specific game), 1 point per answer!

[ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8BHxEnbAJY]Play dat funky music![/ame]

Also, since I am a total bastard, many of those are actually remixes. Muhaha!

 

[Det Som Engang Var]

I don't recognize any of those. :/

My internet is gonna be out for a bit guys, had to choose between that and the phone bill. Facebook me if you need me.

Steve-Devil Survivor on the DS is also really good, with a soundtrack that's nothing short of amazing. The other Atlus DS game is pretty bad, though.

 

[Liverslapper]

I have a DS so I'll have to check it out.

Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne just arrived. Sweeeeeet.

 

[Liverslapper]

ARGH 5, 6 and 10 I've heard several times and I can't remember it. I really need Music soundtracks are a weakness for me.

 

[ShadowsWithin]

lol im hearing Drumkit from hell in some of those.
