Damn, this game sounds too good to pass up.

Guess I’ll goto my Gamestop tomorrow and go buy it ;o

Chapter 11

Spoiler

Isara…:sad:

So yeah, so far chapter 10 has one of the craziest operations ever. It took me the entire 20 turns.

my advice to anyone trying to master this game learn all the orders. they make everything easy. Visiting the guy in the cemetary also gives you the best orders just make sure you have at least 6500 to 15000 xp points cause you cant get the skills if you exit without them.

Alicia is godly overall the game is great if you take your time to enjoy it. I didnt I blew through everything in the game in a week. All the metals, class lvl’s, orders, weapons, etc. The only thing I would say is that I wish the rpg element of the system was a bit deeper, and that the game rewarded you more for using the other classes. Right now scouts are the only thing you can use if you want to get A and S completion ratings.

Yeah, Chapter 10 was pretty nuts! Scout rushing still works though.

Gotta love it when Vyse says “Woohoo, our hero’s in trouble now” :woot:

hmm… i dont think i’ve realy played a game like this 1. i’ve played turned based rpgs & action rpgs like Final Fantasy & Kingdom Hearts but this one looks different. anyway da graphics look nice so i might try it out.

I just got grenade launchers and flamethrowers. Awesome.

In Chapter 9 now.

I’m on Chapter 11. Its crazy how good scout rushing is, just drop a couple of orders on them and they just win.

Great game. Been playing Eternal Sonata instead of finishing up the stuff after you finish the story though, dunno when I"ll get back to it ;o

Yeah, so I just got to the best part of the game.

I thought Rosie would be better endowed, but oh well. Alicia. Damn![/details]

Just got to chapter 17 i think, i’m probably pretty close to finishing the game, got something like 23 hours on the clock. I’m really starting to like troopers alot more, especially salinas. i just use him like 3-4 actions a turn, just go around and flame shit up.
also got my lancers to maximum level. some of them got the tank destroyer -skill, which seems pretty cool(random chance of killing blow to tanks?). i’d imagine this skill being quite cheap with the awaken potential order, like just blowing up heavy tanks from the front armor and shit, though with 3 CP you can usually just run behind the tank (2 for the order and 1 for the action vs. 3 actions).

just random thoughts really : |

I also really hope this game gets a sequel of some sorts, like at least gameplay-wise. I’m really hooked on the gameplay and the system and i’d really like to see it being developed even further, with more terrain/cover options etc.

I actually need to start leveling up a lot more to get some goodies. The next few fights are actually gonna be pretty fucking killer and I’m sure of it.

Yeah, getting the flamethrower for shocktroopers and the grenade launcher for scouts is a godsend, but i havent had much use for the lancer mortars. i used them once by accident, since i didn’t know it would automatically equip the best mortar lance to all lancers when you upgrade them, imagine my annoyance when i had just sneaked behind a heavy tank :frowning:

It auto-equips the last weapon you built, unless you go to your Squad Barracks and swap it out yourself.

I’m pretty sure you guys are aware of the DLC that will be available early next year for the US (HARD-EX and extra missions). Have you guys seen the videos of the DLC that show the extra weapons available?

Selvaria’s gun looks pretty hot, but…

…Anti-tank rifle GODDAMN!

I haven’t touched my PS3 in over a week. I’m achin’ to play again.

Finally opened the damn game this morning and played up to the mission where you first come across a tank.

Then I got owned when I couldn’t make it to the exit because the tank is aimed directly at it.

I’m at chapter 9 right now. I really love this game so far. Right now i’d say this is one of the year’s best. It’s too bad the game didn’t sell well here in the states.

I really like the fact that Vyse and Aika are in the game. Brings back good memories from SOA.

33,000 copies…ouch. :rofl:

That is awesome that Vyse is in, though.

So is this game any good? If so I’d pick it up before Resistance 2. Looks like a great game thats actually original.

I’m having a hard time getting into R2. I liked playing the beta, but i just can’t get into the actual game.

  • I don’t like the controls too much (sprinting and crouching with L2 :shake:). Not to mention it feels really loose. It’s not tight at all.
  • The enemy A.I. is weird. It’s like they ONLY react to what i do. Like during a massive firefight with other allied NPC’s around with miniguns and stuff, i fire one shot from the magnum or i step out a cover, they stop what they’re doing and just come after me. Thats weird.

I’m still gonna give it another go tomorrow, but right now i haven’t been that impressed.

As for VC, this is one of the year’s most under appreciated games. Try the demo out on PSN to see if you like it. I can’t wait to get back to it tomorrow.
