What game are you wasting time on?

And I went throught because I told myself "He probably played it for the battle system, it's probably great or something" but the fucking game kept telling me to talk to some fucking npc I wasn't paying attention, I couldn't pay attention without fucking brain damage.

Lesbians give you brain damage?

That explains quite a bit.

Also the only time I posted about this before was the second game, which gives you a battle in the first five mins (and a battle with an actual weapon shortly after) and has no "mom".

Maybe you already wrote it , but I can't find it what kind of build did you go for?

Well, I started off going with a skill in each of the four elemental branches (Ice Breath, Fire Breath, Shock, Tornado), some debuffs (War Cry, Fog Breath), and a couple wild cards. Mana Drain became a permenant addition as soon as I could get it, I developed a few mind/status effect attacks, would slot in a few "Void X" skills at appropriate times, and I ended up cutting elemental attacks down to only two.

I've been through pretty much everything (haven't beaten the third phase of the final boss fight yet) and have the following skills:

-Wind Cutter
-Bolt Storm
-Xeros Beat
-Mana Drain
-War Cry
-Fog Breath
-Void Death
-Void Mind

Might need an update though. Disco ball of doom and mirrorface die easily enough, but the guy after them....he's pretty tough. Better demons might even be required. The Harlot and Dante, my main damage dealers, can barely scratch him. Maybe I'll have to suck it up and buy the expensive magatama I skipped like the ones the collector manakin had or the one in the Tower junk shop.

I don't remember any lesbians on that game. Only the inane master and the inane mom and inane everything. Might have escaped me because, you know, INANITY.

Also, the protagonist was a child, I hate that shit. Children are worthless cunts who never achieved anything. Ever heard of a child who invented the cure for some horrible disease, or achieved something important like that? I don't, because there's none.

Also, what the fuck do I care if they're lesbians if the game is rated T or something and there's no tits in sight?

They should just replaced every npc in the game with a picture of a pair of boobs and removed the dialogue. Would've improved the game a LOT.

EDIT:



Check this shit out and tell me this doesn't make you want to put nails in your eyes. And ears. I would keep looking at the videos to tell how long it takes for a fucking battle to start, but I'm not a fucking masochist. A casual glance told me the third one didn't have a battle at the start, so it's at least 25 minutes without a battle.

:lol: what's with the need to have a battle ASAP?

Well, I thought it was reasonably fun. Oh look, this huge boss dude thinks he's a badass because he has his own Buster Sword, Cloud must be envious. OH WELL I HAVE A FUCKING AUTOMATIC DRILL

Since you're willing to try animu console action jrpgs, might as well try this series I mentioned earlier in this thread. The story and non-combat gameplay is exactly what you'd expect, but the combat is really fucking fun.



And here's some of the crazy shit you can pull.

I played Moonbase Alpha with a friend today. It was free on steam.

I understand why it was free.

Been playing some Civ5 lately. Did they change Social Policies in one of the patches? Feels like I get them a lot more frequently.

I think they made some pretty big changes to social policies in one of the patches, I forget which.

I'm not sure if they changed the frequency though. Probably some tweaks to how much each city affects the needed culture.

Well the combat is the only good part of most jrpgs, so that's my gripe with delaying it. Without combat you're left talking to "mom" or "trainer" or some Andhaira level of inanity NPC.

I'll check out that game out.

Let me guess, you played as the male character some stupid reason?

Cleru only exists because the series it is a spin off from has a precedent for male/female option and marketing. Pratty is, for once, the "original" character.

Also it's the rare non-porn, non-visual novel video game with REAL lesbians, not "dur hurr we are inclusive so everyone is bisexual" "lesbians".

The BG marathon is go. Here is the party. No idea if it's optimum, but I think it'll make for an interesting experience nonetheless. Any real duds can be dropped for whatever NPC suits/wants to give me quests at the time.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/jimbob11/anderskru2.jpg

Anders Breivik, noble fearless Paladin, Inquisitor and party leader for the three occasions where charisma matters in the series. Standard build, aiming to get Carsomyr in BG2 and tank unimaginatively through BG1.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/jimbob11/anderskru5.jpg

Average Steve the Kensai/Mage. Don't think that needs much explanation.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/jimbob11/anderskru3.jpg

Hatman the Swashbuckler. Primary thieving abilities as well as ranged combat and melee where required. Might dual class him to cleric in BG2, seeing how it goes (old screenshot, recreated him with 17 WIS)

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/jimbob11/anderskru4.jpg

Faggotron McGay the Elven Archer. Ranged combat, aiming to get him the shortbow of Gesen or whatever it's called once BG2 rolls around.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/jimbob11/anderskru1.jpg

Dr Chouffe, the mighty gnome Cleric/Illusionist multiclass. Hoping he'll pack enough of a punch to be my primary healer and buffer.

http://i28.photobucket.com/albums/c247/jimbob11/anderskru6.jpg

COVERED IN BEES the sorcerer. Nuker. Aiming to get the Robe of Vecna and that amulet and turn him into a magical machine gun.

Might & Magic 8. Well, for 15 minutes or so. Don't think I can continue because of simulation sickness. Which is fucked up considering I almost finished it a decade ago with no probs. Well it's not as severa as what I would get in say 5 minutes of Shitrim, but yeah. Oh well. I was just going to speed to dragonland and get the dragon groupmate and bomb the shit out of stuff anyway.

I've never finished that. By the time I get to the lower levels of the temple the game gets so unstable that every larger fight ends with a CTD.

BROS, completed Rebelstar- Tactical Command.
Final battle was MUCH better than in UFO1 or TFTD - intense and >9000 enemies but fair and bullshit-free.
Recommended if you into X-com likes (no geosphere though) or tactical-level games in general.
