Tale Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Still playing Persona. Damn that Mitsuru. She signed us all up for Summer School! What a waste of a week. And then Sunday comes along, before I get a chance to watch TV, Chihiro calls and wants to go to some festival. I say yes, but it's mostly yet another wasted day. However, I have maxed out my charm and intelligence. So, once I've grinded (pun intended) Chihiro up to rank 10, I'll be moving on to Mitsuru. And fighting evil at night.

Tale Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 Persona 3 Well, I downed 3 major Shadow bosses today. That's little over two months of game time. Only 3 left! Of course, I have no clue what this means for the tower as I'm 9/12 on bosses, but only half on the tower. OH GOD! "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Tale Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) I'm officially getting pissed at Persona 3. I can spend an hour or so in the dungeon, get up to level 52, then on my way out, I'll get hit with a chain of attacks from an otherwise weak enemy that just ruin my day and cause me to have to restart an hour back... Oh, and it's apparently quite a long game. I'm 63 hours in. Edited September 4, 2007 by Tale "Show me a man who "plays fair" and I'll show you a very talented cheater."

Deraldin Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Metroid is fun, but there aren't enough hidden items. I'm used to completing the GBA games with scores of around 50%, but without really trying I managed 74%. It might just be because there are a lot fewer items that are completely hidden and instead are just "It's over there, but how do I get there?"

Tel Aviv Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Oblivion. One aspect I appreciate, you're not the chosen one, you're not the absolute focal point. Sure, you're instrumental, but you're basically just the guy who comes to know the chosen one. Now, trying to decide whether I should channel my inner thug as a fugly orc, or stealth the game as a sneaksy, if obnoxious, wood elf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder how fun it would be to play the game from Martin's perspective, keep sending people out on missions into Oblivion (red. living hell) and sit around a nice fire all the time, reading evil books.

Now, trying to decide whether I should channel my inner thug as a fugly orc, or stealth the game as a sneaksy, if obnoxious, wood elf. I would have been able to appreciate it if it hadn't been done quite so half-arsedly. Sure, you're not the chosen one, that's someone else, but that someone else doesn't do anything. Your character is single handendly overcoming great trials and tribulations while he sits around a warm fire telling you what to do. If they had actually wanted to do it right, they simply should have avoided the chosen one cliche altogether. You should go with the fugly orc. My experience says that stealth gets the shaft with their system. It doesn't train the combat attributes that you need nearly as well as standard combat does.

Still, it's an interesting deviation from RPG convention. The chosen one, its just so terribly nineties. *shudder* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tale Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 (edited) I wouldn't call it interesting, I'd call it uninspired. You want it to be interesting? Have him actually do stuff. Then he can pawn off the stuff he doesn't have time for on you. Make him an actual participant in the world. Martin: "I'm going to this cave to retrieve the ancient relics of my ancestors. While I'm gone, I need you to go to these zombie infested fields, grab some 'magical' beans, roast them, grind them, and brew me a cup for when I get back. One lump, non-dairy cream." I don't mean quite like that, but at least make it look like the supposed chosen one is unique in the world. As it stood, they could have just as easily made it my character that turned out to be a Septim. Actually that would have been easier! Then I wouldn't have had that crappy escort quest at the end.

Tel Aviv Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Haha. Absolutely. Also, I like how "proactive" and no nonsense your Martin is. Actually, your example shows just how easy it would've been to implement properly. If I remember correctly, there were aspects of that. Martin translating that wacky daedra bible while you're off artefact hunting, for example. I do think it interesting though, the idea of taking the significance away from the PC. In skilled hands... well, you know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know i always wanted to play a game like that. Well not getting the hero coffee but having an active NPC hero going out and making a difference in the world while you do your own small part supporting him. There have been a few games here and there which tried to do stuff like that but they never quite make it believable enough where it doesn't simply turn the player into the real hero.
