The boat is awesome. I love the fact that it provides heavy support fire.
The major problem with this game is how fucking hard it is to kill stuff. Point-blank riot slugs still aren’t 100%, and while eating shots from those machinegun guys, you don’t have long to take stuff out.
But goddamn, that bounty-hunting part of the game was awesome.
EDIT: Did you catch everything alive too? I had about 15k when they stole all my shit.
Million-- I think you’d appreciate this game.
That too. I lost some early battles and wondered what I was doing wrong. I spent almost half my time fiddling with the jobs first.
checked status screen and then jobs/abilities

If you are just starting, make a bunch of monks. They are very strong for the early game, and will let you grasp the basics.
The key is picking the skills that are awesome and custom-crafting characters.
Black Mage subclass Calculator is fucking insane.
-slight spoilers-
Fourteen hours into NxC, still no sign of Strider or Captain Commando. =( The latest scenario had my party up agains Devil Kazuya (who naturally has a grudge against Tekken 4 Jin), Akuma and a bunch of monsters though, so I can’t complain. The music is god tier too.
KOS-MOS is not only a hot hawt hot android, but a fucking tank as well. The only drawback is that she’s a slowass when it comes to gaining turns.
Destroy All Humans only gets better as you get further along. This is way more fun than I was even expecting! Once you holobob the mayor and speak to the people…ohhhh that’s just priceless. It’s been awhile since a game got such a good laugh out of me. The interesting thing is…I ended up saying the right things to the crowd at least most of the time, and passed that part on my first try…now I wonder if it’s possible to screw up that part, and if so, what happens…?
anyway, later onI had a tight battle with The Majestic. “Men in Black” is such an awesome urban myth…it can be used in so many interesting ways in a story.(*MIB" movies/comics, The Matrix, etc.) Oh yeah…they had no chance. I DESTROYED them like it was nothing. They get cool weapons though…
So how exactly does the “No Late Fees” thing work at BlockBuster?
Is it like rent-to-own basically or what? I was looking for an explanation on how this works but couldn’t find one. Any help would be appreciated.
you have 7 days after due date to bring it back
if you don’t they charge your credit card the price of the movie
if you don’t return it in a month after that its yours, if you do then you pay $1.50 restocking fee and get the credit on your account
Cool, thanx.
One more stupid ? for anyone who can answer this. Say I want to keep the game, would I be able to go in and get the original case for the game or would I be stuck with the BB case?
started playing dragon warrior VII this weekend. Jesus christ what is up with this game? Im 3 hours into it and have yet to fight a random battle. Now I remember why all the nes games were so frustrating - it’s all about figuring out what oblique thing you need to do to trigger the story forward. God im glad modern rpg’s did away with that.
Well, just in case you haven’t checked yet, in the Light World, use the flute, and select destination point #5 (or maybe #6, the one that drops you in the desert). You will be carried to a ledge you couldn’t normally access. Beneath one of the rocks lies a portal to the Dark World, and you will be transported directly to the Dark World’s swamp, where dungeon #6 is located.
Currently playing …
SF 3s and…
nothing else really.
Was thinking of getting back into a MMORPG.
Though I’m torn between City of Heroes, Everquest 2 and World of Warcraft.
I have Guild Wars but just haven’t gotten into it yet.
My lazy ass has yet to finish Paper Mario and RE4. Then there is Phantom Brave which I’m 5 hours into and La Pucelle Tactics which I have yet to start. Too much Tekken 5 and GT4 lately.
I beat the hell out of Thousand Year Door. 50+ damage a hit… AND I was untouchable.
You’re honestly better off figuring everything out yourself.
If all else fails, stick Marche and another party member as Fighters (LEARN AIR RENDER BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE), stick your bangaa as a Dragoon, stick Montblanc as a Gunner and Juggler for status ownage, have your typical magic user master everything it can, and work your female through the Archer and Sniper stages onto Red Mage.
And once the clan wars begin, level up religiously. You’ll end up with a stockpile of money to buy whatever you want before you know it. The Consentrate support ability is broken as all hell, so learn it as soon as you can. Also, get used to tapping the A button to raise your chances of a sucessful attack. Anything below 55% is going to be a bitch to connect.
Oh, and don’t forget to master Thief because after a short while, you’ll either have to steal or level up your clan through missions to get new items.
—EDIT—
ALWAYS SAVE YOUR GAME WHENEVER POSSIBLE BEFORE HEADING INTO BATTLE, AND ALWAYS CHECK OUT THE LAWS FIRST.
This can save you a shit storm of trouble in the long run, especially since if you don’t like the set of laws and you still have a couple of days before a mission ends, you can move around the map and have them change to something that might work a little better.
Oh, and remember: THE DMG:ANM LAW IS FOR WILD MONSTERS ONLY. Moogles, Bangaa, Nu Mou, etc. are exempt so you can whomp on them till your heart’s content.
ok i need another RPG to waste my life.
I just beat:
Chrono Cross, FFT, Lunar, FF9, Zelda: LTTP, Front Mission (SNES)
Now i need something… I’m wiling to spend no more than $21.64 ($19.99 plus tax) and i have a PS2
I heard Star OCean 3 would be a good choice. Any suggestion?
Star Ocean Second Story >>> Star Ocean 3.
SO3 has the same major problems as FFX, except worse.
And the game balance is fucked.
Star Ocean 3… is that the one titled “Till the End of Time”? Was it worth buying? I always wanted to try that game but never picked it up for some reason. I looked pretty good though…
Phantom Brave is 19.99 new.
Finally, The same people who made that game made Radiata Stories.
Went to my buddy Brandon’s place. We haven’t hung out in like a month and a half. Anyway, we played Metal Slug 4. I really can’t see why any old-school players wouldn’t like this game. It is full of trigger finger action, huge bosses, vehicles to board and well designed stages. In short, pure Metal Slug goodness. We beat the game but we never checked out MS5 so I might play that tonight.
We also played KOF 2003. Man, this game is so freaking tight. I didn’t know more than half the fighters in the game because I’ve never really been into KOF but I was loving this game. I rocked it with Terry and even Ryo was pretty good in this game. Lots of different modes and tons of fighters to choose from. How come KOF games are never at Evo? And how come KOF never gets much love for that matter? I think I’ve found another fav 2D fighting series that ranks right up there with SF.
My first Official US PlayStation Magazine came in the mail today. It came with a demo of Destroy All Humans!! Can’t wait to check this out!!
