Agreed.
Fuck Griffith.Fucking piece of shit
Your right about it being hard. I almost died on the FIRST part!!! And then that first boss fight was fuckin insane!!! I was like, “If this is the first boss then… HOLY FUCK!!!”
Yea, later parts of the game is pretty retarded. I was ranting a bit about it on the “Hardest game” thread, in the part where Guts needs to escape the corridors with roots. I couldn’t pass the 2nd corridor.
My bro played that game before I read BERSERK (He played it in 2001, I believe) and he was pretty good. He passed the corridor part, and finished the game on Easy and Normal. He couldn’t pass Zoddo on Hard though.
- … the last part was difficult, though. Stopped there. Ughhhh.
Bear Ryoma - Funny AMV! 
Yeah Guts Rage is a great game. I loved how they got Michael Bell, Duke’s voice from G.I. Joe for Guts. That was one of the best video game dubbing choices ever.
Great thing about it too is that is if you have all of the cut scenes save you can watch it all over again without playing the game again. It takes about an hour or so to watch it all.
I beat it on Easy, Normal and Hard back in the day. Zoddo had patterns if you played it long enough. Ditto with those roots. Back in those days everything was patterns, just learn what you have to do in all given situations and wash, rinse repeat, never give up and never surrender and sooner or later you get past everything (even if it might take a while).
With Zoddo you can also practice all you wanted playing the boss mode too where you can fight him on the fly. Though I’m not sure if that was one of the things you unlocked after beating hard mode or not, it’s been a while.
I still have my save and have everything unlocked. One of the last things I got was the Puck minigame ha ha that is fun.
Guts Rage > PS2 Berserk game
PS2 Berserk game was a HUGE LET DOWN. Also the voice actors totally sucked, it made me glad Berserk wasn’t getting any more anime time. Not even the best Japanese VA could do this series justice.
Also, I would like to add my membership to the “Griffith is lil fucking bitch” club. I admit if you look it over he had his reasons, but he still deserves a big cold peice of Iron through his chest for doing it anyway.
Bear Ryoma, I don’t think Caska is kushan cause she’s like working in the fields of some village when that one lord gets her. Well… maybe she’s Kushan blood but not culture.
I’d like to join in with the FUCK Griffith mob. I loved Femto’s design in his first appearance, but when he raped a pregnant woman after sending his entire army to Hades in a demon buffet that pissed me off.
Anyways, puck’s importance has seriously waned(I hate how he’s become primarily comic relief, seeing as how he was Guts’ first new friend after the events of the Eclipse). If he wasn’t around, Guts would also likely be dead(Having a supply of Elf Powder is indispensable against apostles).
My favorite characters are Guts, Zodd(not Zoddo, though that was the name on a lot of earlier Berserk merchandise, just like how Guts used to be spelled like it was pronounced, Gatsu), and the Skull Knight.
@Gabriel: the site’s become skullknight.net, and yes they still are doing translations.
Endless: I think Berserk came out in 1988 actually, if not the prototype.
One thing I really want to see in Berserk is the clarification of the King Gaiseric(who’s so obviously Skull Knight it stinks like an anime con)story. Knowing the nature of the 4 “Angels”(CoughGodhandCough) who ended Gaiseric’s empire, there is no way in hell that the story went down just like Charlotte recalled it.
Good stuff from everyone.
I never really liked Femto as a character.
To defend Griffith a bit :bgrin: :
I’m not saying the Eclipse was good in any way; it was evil, terrible, and disturbing. It was one of the only points in the manga where I needed to physically take a break from reading because it was “so much”.
However, Griffith’s as a character, is amazing. I think he is probably the most charismatic and romantic characters I have read in manga (or any story, for that matter). Not knowing his past, I bet almost everyone here would want to follow Griffith (if we were in BERSERK, of course).
He’s a noble hero, divinity in human form. People are so overwhelmed with emotion when talking to him, they break down and cry. I like Griffith a lot because of his character, not because of his actions.
Also, in the state that he was in, he couldn’t do anything at all, and that would of been the end of his dream.
If Guts was in Griffith’s shoes…he would choose to die.
HOWEVER, IIRC, Guts himself did say: (one of the best quotes in BERSERK, I feel)
“You can’t walk at all, if you are afraid of crushing the ants”
@BEWD: Thanks for the clarification. Also, I forgot whether Miura or Puck said it, but Miura keeps Puck in to help the manga from being too dark.
@sano: Yea…the roots kept killing me. Either flatout 1-hit death, or it glanced me, taking off 85% health, stunning Guts, and then getting comboed by the next root, killing me :annoy:
yea…I miss the old Band of the Hawk also…
Especially Pippin. He was awesome. He died a terrible and sad death. :sad:
Out of the new characters, my favorite is Shierke, then Irvine, the demon archer.
OK, you do realize that this makes you a wuss?:wgrin::wgrin: i kid, i kid
The Eclipse was awesome, the despair so clearly visible you felt it yourself… My favourite part so far (up to vol. 15). I understand Griffith, and would probably do the same in his situation. Before I get flamed with “You’d sacrifice your friends?!”, I’d like to point out, that in the event of an Eclipse, me getting shed loads of power for the small price of the people around me, yes, I’d do it. But… since I really don’t see that happening in the near future, I wouldn’t get to upset about it.
Anyway, played the DC game myself. Never knew other people shared my feelings on those damn roots:arazz:
this manga is the only one that i see all kinds of crazy stuffs beside the killing, like gay rape, pedo, demon rape and incest…btw i think its reasonable for Miura for being slow, there are so much stuffs to draw in this manga, all the details of blood and gore, so many horses, monsters and soldiers killing each other on battle field, this manga is always packed with actions…i wouldnt supprise if each chapter come out every 3 month if it was drawn by any other artist…
My favorite Berserk charactes are:
- Guts
- Guts
- Guts
- Guts
- Guts
Serpico, Farnese, Corkus(whiney characters are a riot lol), Zoddo and the Skull Knight are all very cool don’t get me wrong but it’s all about Guts. Griffith I dunno, I hate him so much I like him. :tup:
Never played Sammy’s Berserk game. I don’t really bother importing a game when it follows the same story as a manga or an anime that I already read / watched. Now if it was a brand new story like the Rurouni Kenshin RPG of a few years back I most def would of imported.
I will say that if the game did come out in the US chances are I would of gotten it, I even signed the petition to bring it over but as you know those never work anyway.
Very glad to hear the game sucked.
Most of the time when I import it’s for a fighting game, playing any other kind of game in a language you can’t understand comes with it’s own set of headaches. Thank goodness for Gamefaqs though when it comes to getting through games like that.
Wow 30 more years of Berserk man when I’m in a retirement home if the orderly accidently gives my subscribed volume of Berserk to Grandma Snooty Snoot I will bop him in the back of his head with my walker. DON’T MESS WITH MY BERSERK! :rock:
I thought the Pirate arc was going to be long and stupid but it’s short and awesome. Me happy.
Griffith > you
Griffith is the best villain ever. And I hate him for it. Fuck Griffith : (. He makes Dio Brando look like Captain America.
dammit!!! I have to play the game again!!! Its been so long!!! But yeah, in 30 years, I’ll be reading BERSERK, and then showing my grand kids how awesome manga is. And then when I go senile, I’ll be screaming quotes from BERSERK swinging a “sword” (my cane) around wacking random people. And then get a heart attack from how gruesome a chapter is while I lay in my death bed.
I can’t wait!!!
I actually like the PS2 Berserk game and the voice acting was good.
- Berserk’s story of the Ugly Duckling will replace the current one. Bet it. Seriously, there are highlights that are worth mentioning here in the series.
I enjoy Griffith’s character a great deal.
Not in the manner that I like what he did, but they way Kentaro Miura presents him is just amazing.
As far as Gatts, well he’s just a bad ass…that’s all there is to it…
EDIT:
For an example of what I mean, the last panel of Chapter 28 page 19
.
I just fear the day kentarou dies and leaves berserk hanging… hope that never happens…
= It really makes you think. However… how the hell can he move his left arm to pull off a right hook?
- …wait. A Kenshin RPG?
