Been playing Asura's Wrath. What an INSANE game!

Front Mission 3.

It's honest to goodness my favourite game ever and I've replayed it like a thousand times.

It's a highly customizable mecha-based turn-based RPG with two storylines that change at the start based on an innocent question. As soon as you finish testing the new model, your friend Ryogo offers for you to go with him to deliver some construction machines. If you go with him, you'll trigger Emma's storyline, but if you stay, you'll trigger Alisa's storyline.

Emma's story is harder and has a darker ending, but Alisa's is longer and more action-packed. I'd recommend Alisa's to start with so you can get used to the controls and system.

Of course.

I've downloaded Abe's Odessyee off PSN. It's my first time playing it, so I'm new to the franchise.

So far it's pretty good. The puzzles are pretty smart (although I've encountered a few in Srabania that just don't make any sense whatsoever) and the graphics are great for PS1; especially the backgrounds. Still, it can be repetitive at times, and it seems like Abe will only jump over holes when running if I press the up button as well as the Triangle button. Has anyone else encountered this problem? Also, sometimes Abe just falls through the platform when making a run and jump if your accuracy is off. Anyway, I'm in Scrabania, just after the part where you use the red pulse thing to blow up the bomb and the anti-chant orb so you can get your Ellos or whateverthrough the level. Also, I'm doomed to the bad ending. I do my best to get Muds, but when you miss twenty in Rupture Farms, you know you're fucked.

Not entirely true. I think you have to save at least 50, there's plenty left. Wait, you're new to the franchise? Look guys! He's not just a OWF newbie, he's an OW newbie! :hobo:
Welcome!

Right now, I'm playing guitar.

@Nepsotic
I only have about 8 Muds and I haven't saved one since Stockyard Escape, so...

No driving, right?

You can still get the good ending, theres 99 in total and about 40, 50 or 60 when you get back to RF, trust me, as long as you save around 50, you've got the good ending in the bag.

I don't know, I completed the first level (which felt like an eternity) and I don't plan on playing anymore, maybe there is driving, I don't care to be honest.

Okay. So you quit before acquiring any of the combos, and then complained about the controls.

I got some of the combos, but the game feels like a button masher, even moving the character around with the thumbstick feels horrible.

Because She's not a car.

It's actually not a button masher. Like, at all.

It feels like a button masher to me, but everybody has an opinion I suppose.

I keep mashing the Y button for the chainsaw attacks which is your main attack, the pom pom attacks with the X button feel pointless and the only time you'll use the A button are for zombies with no legs which I didn't see many of. Whilst the B button is evade, again, I didn't use it very much, I didn't find a need to.

Okay. So, you were playing on easy, and hadn't unlocked useful combos yet. The pom pom attacks are extremely useful, especially when used in combos to make the zombies groggy. The object is to decapitate as many of them as possible at the same time. This is called Sparkle Hunting, and gets you huge point bonuses, as well the rarer platinum coins.

I'm not really defending the game, but it's hard for me to take your comments about the gameplay sucking when you've been playing the game wrong.

Playing it wrong? I sort of understand where your coming from, but the fact I beat the first level means I'm doing something correct. I should just be able to pick up the controller, and the play the game naturally how I like and enjoy it, not play it like somebody else would to get fun out of it. Imagine you were playing a fighting game and you naturally take a defensive strategy and don't enjoy the game despite winning matches, then somebody comes along and says, oh no, your playing it wrong, you have to play it like this.

I think, that if you buy a game that is a genre you like, and you are making progress and not enjoying it, then clearly there is something wrong with the game. I'm sorry to have to bring a driving game into this, but Test Drive Unlimited 2, I was totally excited for that game, and then I played it and it turned out to be a terrible game! Again, I must have been playing it correctly, because I was playing the game how I like and was making progress.

But you didn't pick it up, and play it how you enjoy it. You picked it up, ignored the tutorials, and because YOU WERE PLAYING THE FIRST LEVEL ON EASY, were able to get through it. If you played Mortal Kombat's single player on easy, won the first match by doing nothing more than doing the leg sweep, and then complained that the game has shit controls, and no variety people would laugh at you. And rightly so. You played it wrong. You're entitled to not like it, but making no attempt to learn how to play the game, and then bitching about the gameplay = You did it wrong. Which you did.

I kept the game on the default settings, which if I remember rightly there were 3 difficulty settings, I think I set it on normal. Again, I understand your point, especially with what you said about Mortal Kombat. But that game is a fighting game which can get very complex, from what I've played with Lollipop Chainsaw, the entire game is based around a fighting system that is just too shallow, even with the combo's, I found it more efficient just to mash the buttons.

The game is about score hunting. Did you get a good score? No? That's because you played shallowly without using the more complex system that allows you to get good scores. And again, you only played the tutorial level. What game have you played that actually puts you to the test in the tutorial level? If you just run through the levels swinging your chainsaw, you are going to get your ass handed to you. The only time that actually works is when you enter invincibility mode, which only lasts a few seconds.

Because there wasn't a need to, like I said, I found it more efficient just to swing the chainsaw especially when I saw surrounded, but my dislike for this game goes beyond the gameplay as well, the main character is really annoying, and I didn't find the jokes funny, the game does have a jolly soundtrack though despite the zombie theme and I do like the graphics even though I had some glitches on the way.

Again, THAT WILL ONLY WORK IN THE BEGINNING OF THE GAME, MUCH LIKE LEG SWEEPING IN MORTAL KOMBAT. IF YOU CONTINUE TO IGNORE THE TUTORIALS, AND JUST SWING THE CHAINSAW LIKE A SPASTIC RETARD THEN YOU ARE GOING TO SPEND ALL YOUR TIME ON THE GROUND.

Well maybe I'll get round to playing it again sometime, but I seriously have no interest to do so at the moment, even after what you have told me.

Someone is pouting.

I won't argue about the characters, or jokes. They're stupid as shit. You either enjoy how stupid they are, or you don't.

Ah, that's why I didn't get on with BRINK.

I shout the word BRINK! now.

I almost bought Brink, but when it came out I didn't have the money for it, makes me glad now based on what everybody says about it.

WHY IS EVERYONE SHOUTING!

WHAT? I CAN'T HEAR YOU!

Try this then Meech
