What does /v/ think of Resonance of Fate?
It's a pretty cool game that no one really talks about. But any discussion i do see is usually civil and mostly positive.
I wish they remade this game to HD.
Finally a weeb game with some fucking focus on guns.
Valkyria Chronicles can only last so long...
>>342321089
I think it's a great game, didn't know the European cover art actually had colors on it.
Should I buy this game /v/? I'm trying to tide myself over until ZTD and my xbox is just sitting there.
>>342322341
I would recommend it. It's one of the most fun and unique JRPGs I've played. It has a decent amount of customisation options with outfits, guns and the combat feels rewarding. The characters and story are good too.
It should be fairly cheap now for the XBOX as well.
Fun and I like the characters but it has some terrible artificial difficulty
And I'm not talking about the statue mission, that's a walk in the park compared to the end game
>>342321089
Great game that got overshadowed by the hype machine that was FF13.
Sega are truly their own worst enemy, releasing a new JRPG IP just a week after the most overhyped game in a decade.
It's okay. I never finished it. But I liked what I played.
>>342322593
I got tripped up on the statue mission for at most an hour until I learned to keep someone in front of it.
best japanese rpg of last gen excluding souls games.
its a flawed gem, def worth a play, the repetition ultimately drags it down, even though the gun-fu shit is pretty cool.
the setting is neat as well, and the characters are likeable and have some goofy chemistry. In the end its an overlooked little gem if a bit flawed, like infinite undiscovery was, imo.
>>342322341
The intro drags rather hard, but it's pretty fucking badass if jrps are your thing
>>342322571
How long does it take to beat?
I've owned it for about 5 years but I never invested the time because i assumed it'd be a 30 hour+ JRPG.
>>342322769
My first time playing took around 80 hours, but it's possible to run through it much faster if you know what you're doing.
>>342322617
I didn't frequent gaming sites or forums back in 2009/10
Was the hype really that big? Couldn't people tell the game was going to be shit?
>>342322729
Definately in my top 3.
I could never choose between RoF, Lost Odyssey and Xenoblade.
>>342321890
enough with the fucking remasters
>>342322849
Nobody had anything really negative to say about the game until it's JP release at the earliest, when comments about the excessively linear level design began spreading.
also toughest rpg of last gen. the learning curve kept climbing even after 10 hours.
>>342321089
cool combat bogged down by everything else
>>342322729
Thanks for the new wallpaper senpai

I'm up to chapter 14 right now and he level design for that abandoned area or whatever is awful.

>Without cover, you're fucked
>>342322716
Just wait til you get to enemies that eat all of a characters hp and break 3/4 of your bezels in one attack
I liked it alot. It was hard as fuck though. Leanne was cute too.
>>342323013
Game became easy as pie when you get 4 dealies.
>>342322769
Just take your time with it, anon.
>>342323013
>that moment when you realise you NEED to swap weapons with characters to get their HP high enough to survive basic mobs
The gun customization is a great way to trigger /k/.
>>342323196
>that image
STOP
>>342323328
was about to post this, the customization was hilarious, but I was happy for it to be in the game.
>>342323196
When I first played the game, the main dungeon in chapter 14 stumped me for like 6 straight months, I shit you not. Couldn't even get past the first room or two because the enemies would shred me in fucking seconds. Eventually I figured out how to Tri-Attack and got gud at using Hero actions to stay out of harm's way while using special ammo types to deal damage and now I feel like a total master of RoF's combat, though I haven't cleared all the difficulties.
>>342323314
I actually loved that system. It really forced the player out of their comfort zone.
>yfw you found out there are TEN difficulty levelsAnd I struggled on certain parts in the first one
Love it. Once you figure out the best way to kill is to spam until you launch an enemy airborn, the bosses get easy. The last dungeon was a HUUUUGE fuck you tho.
>>342323328
How strong is that weapon?
Do you want me on offense or defense?
>>342323510
The difficulty curve went up so much in that chapter. I need to finish it. I ended up getting mad and building the exp grinding farm for the arena.
>>342322938
yep, a remaster for Valkyria Chronicles was pointless from a tech standpoint anyway. it's running great on the PS3.
>>342323610
Not as strong as this.
>>342323756
To be fair, ROF would benefit quite a lot from a remaster. It's a lesser known game and it looks pretty bad in parts.
I loved all the clothing customizations. Game was stylish as fuck.
Also Christmas chapter was the best part of the game.
>>342323679
Hey, Leanne goes both ways.
I do not remember much about the game. But I do remember that annoying ass banging on cans sound effect when in combat. Which was always.
>>342323314
The problem with more HP was that you lost more Bezels if your HP hit 0. Yeah 5,000 HP is better than 3,000, but when you only have 7 or 8 Bezels that almost instantly puts you in panic mode. You have to balance your level growth with how many Bezels you have.
360 or PS3 version?
>>342324112
same thing
>>342323679
Leanne goes both ways? Good to know
>>342324112
I own the 360 version and it runs fine. Not sure how it compares graphically though.

https://youtu.be/eKQcNsfvx_M
Thought it was mediocre. Story went nowhere until the last couple part s, combat had potential and there was just fucking pages of text to read which is not a good way to explain your game.
Personally got bored if it and trudged through half the game
>>342324246
I love that they made Reanbell into a vapid bitch in both Project X Zone games.
>>342324003
>>342324196
Hey. Save it, why don't ya?
It was a good game but it had difficulty spikes which required autistic levels of grinding to not get BTFO'd. I almost took 8 hrs in one of the later dungeons with those high lvled giant robots.
Loved this boss theme. It's a shame most of OST wasn't great in battles.
https://youtu.be/iEZrEGpz_ec
Strong Week!
Its not a casual friendly game but its fun and strategic. Some of the guns don't have gold versions and it looks odd when pairing. I didn't like how enemies would always respawn in rooms you cleared already. At least only do that when the player clears the story portion of the map first.
Speaking of story it got lost in translation, but the ending is open for a sequel actually. There's a vampire angel in the game so who knows what others lurk outside Basel. A whole new outside world is shown as the credits roll as well.
>>342324629
Neverland has a mannequin enemy with chainsaws and flamethrowers that you cannot win against. Whenever I see one I just run to the exit and reroll my fight. I can't imagine neverland in the higher difficulties.

I'm currently playing through it and so far and the only complainant I have with it is that farming for items and components a fucking chore.
Other than that it's a good game.

Post yfw you found the trick for infinite money and bought all the clothes.
Yeah this game is great. Sweet setting and characters, interesting combat and the story, one unjumbled, is actually really unique.
I would love a remaster or PC release so I could play it again.
>>342325717
There are grenades that guarantee a broken health bar. Breaking a healthbar also stuns, so get a few and go nuts. The constant stun plus broken bars will ensure lots of bezels.
>>342325196
There's an exploit to make easy money if it gets too hard as well.

>>342325748

i don't think i've ever ran into it playing the game, is it something stupid or do i have to grind an item?

TL;DR - You buy the parts for a certain scope, build it and sell it. You'll always sell it for a profit.
>>342326002
Not that guy, but I remember using this for the clothes as well. IIRC you bought two items to make a B Scope and then sold it like two levels below to some woman who would buy them for 4100 or so.
Making the scope costed 3000, and she bought them for 4100.
I think Zephyr is the first time I've seen an angsty character done well. It helps that he's 100% justified in feeling horrible about himself. That was a crazy reveal.
>>342326819

I really really tried.
But this one ain't for me.

Nope, he's mortal.
>>342327493
he was immortal, though. Just not anymore
>>342325748
I had millions from finishing arena but didn't care to buy more clothes than a single set.
Is true that the PxZ games got loads of anons interested in RoF?
>>342321089
It's that on tri-Ace game I always thought I would get around to playing but never have.
>>342323328
>>342323856
these two screenshots alone are almost convincing me to start playing it again.
>>342327657
I think it did. They're pretty great in it.
>>342327657
Seems that way. Those games got anons interested in a lot of stuff really, Resonance of Fate is lucky enough to still be semi-modern to the point where anybody has a system they can play it on. It also got me to give God Eater a shot.
>>342327968
I want to play god eater but I don't have vita/play 3

I played Burst on PPSSPP. Didn't end up liking it much in the end, but I'm just not a fan of mission based hunting games really. It still seems like a good series for those who might be into this stuff though.
>>342328237
Their default clothes are so appealing that I can't bring myself to change their outfits at all.
>>342327547
Nope, always mortal.God steps in to prevent his death every time.
>>342321089
Cool at first but the gameplay gets boring really fast, also the plot is literally all over the fucking place.
>>342328325
I always liked Vashyron's dress shirts.
>>342326819
He is very happy in PxZ (cuz he is postgame), he even joins Vashiron to joke about replacing Leanne with the hot girl from God eater.
But put Valkirie with him and he will angst, saying about how Gods actually exists and what Valkirie will do to him.
>>342328338
So that is why he angst if Valkirie (a messenger if the gods) is put with him in PxZ?
>>342321890
>Finally a weeb game
least weeb japanese game though.
Sequel fucking when? I thought this game was fucking great and I'm happy to see it actually has a thriving thread for once.
>>342321089
Quite fresh combat system, I really enjoyed the game till the end just because how satisfying and stylish battles were. Setting was interesting but there was not enough story and dialogs between characters.
Still one of the best jrpgs of this generation. Reanbell-chan is my waifu.
>>342328681
the most weeboo thing about the game was the western cover, totally misrepresenting the game. sega is a shit tier company
>>342328678
I havent seen that in PxZ, though it might be becausehe's mad that he was spared even after murdering a bunch of children. He wants to die as atonement but he can't.
>>342328923
They do the same with Yakuza by making it sound like Japanese GTA when it's so much more than that.
>>342321089
PC when?
I was thinking about picking this up again for PS3. The digital copy is on sale for 10 bucks. But the physical is also 10 bucks. I've heard people have had problems with the digital copy. Anyone have any problems with it?
>>342330057
Might as well go physical for collecting by purposes.
>>342330212
That's what I was thinking. I bought the game at launch, and then my former roommate took it by mistake with his when he moved out of state.
This game is the TRUE fashion souls.
God I almost forgot about the dance. That wonderful fucking dance.
Watched my friend play it, no idea what you do in the game aside from running at the enemies and fill circles. Looked great
>>342330649
https://youtu.be/owAoZzYgKec?t=1m12s
Aww yissss
Love it. Even the grinding is entertaining
/v/ can hate popular things and love things nobody else likes. i think this game was boring, looked cool but you get bored very fucking quick.
>>342331529
Combat system ia pretty cool. Your turn is either stand in place and shoot, do some repositioning, or pick a location and shoot at enemies while running to it in a straight line. Enemies have a core healthbar you have to drain but also radial Armor pieces that act as smaller healthbars. Which armor you hit is based on your position, so if you can maneuver to a side of an enemy with no armor you can do damage easily. However, special attacks require Bezels, which only regenerate when you kill an enemy or destroy a piece of armor. Since enemies have lots of health you juggle between attacking the core for damage and destroying armor to keep your bezels up. For example, basic gangsters have a hat for armor that is very weak, so if you shoot eqch of them from the front you can remove their hats and gain a bunch of bezel ls back.
Stuff gets interesting later when you find enemies where the armor has ten times more hp than the core, or their armor gives them extra attacks when broken.
There's a bunch of other systems too involving juggling, team attacks, grenades, damage types, and splitting health bars.
>>342332586
I loved the game, but I can absolutely see where you're coming from. It takes a while for it to pick up. But when you get a rhythm going in some of the later boss fights, it's just so damn satisfying.
>tfw I didn't realise that you get the black unlock things for Neverland from two of the three final bosses
>thought you only get them in NG+ somewhere
>After one 65 hour playthrough and 30 more hours in NG+ reload old save and realise that I could've done Neverland in my first run
God damn it. ;_;
>>342327657
Resonance of Fate characters are great. It's the best cast I've seen in a rpg and it's only 3 fucking characters. The only jrpg cast that comes close to this one is probably Xenoblade Chronicles
>>342328338
Well it happens for all 3 of them.
It's funny that it never gets explained how Zephyr and Leanne survived the fall in the beginning until way later in the game in an offhand remark.
The music in RoF is so fucking good. The cool, gritty prog rock, and the beautiful orchestral music in contrast. I love it.
>>342334723
>in an offhand remark.
Zenith's interference is a pretty major plot point though. The game could have said nothing about their fall and the answer could easily have been assumed.
>>342334723
I haven't beaten the game but I just assumed Zephyr was bad ass.
>>342323679
>>342324543

>>342335523
Daddy does not approve
>>342335397
Yeah, sure. It's just interesting that they chose to just leave it up in the air for so long. And they don't even directly tell you, they just strongly imply it. It's not even a cutscene, just a remark in a conversation as you go through a dungeon.
>>342335569
You really should, if only for the Christmas mission
>>342335795
The cutscene where the power goes oyt and when they meet Barbarella are awesome too
>no trusty magnum weapon for Vash
Why?
Which version is superior, 360 or PS3? I have both consoles.
>>342336003
From what I understand the PS3 version is on sale but I dont know if the same is true for the 360
>>342336003
They're basically the same. Someone posted an album of comparison screenshots earlier itt and it goes back and forth which one looks better depending on the scene.
I'd get it on PS3 if only because the game uses the D-pad for quite a bit and also for the novelty of being one of the only PS3 games with a unique UI for the save/load screen.
>>342336103
What about the framerate?
>>342335927
>Project X Zone has a skill for Vashyron that extends attack range named Trusty Magnum
>Zephyr's passive is called Good in the Dark
>>342336103
>unique UI for saves
Really?
Holy crap I loathe that about modern Sony consoles
The UI is horrifying and it's used in every game
Why do they do that?
The same games have their own UI on the xbox what the fuck is wrong with Sony?
>>342336165
They're the same. 30 most of the time with some drops. I've heard that the PS3 is a bit better in this aspect but I can't verify that firsthand.
>>342328923
One cover conveys character-driven action/shooting, while the other seems to be
more environment/dungeon/labyrinth-centric, possibly a puzzler or platforming.
Both are pretty shit desu family. But at least the western cover shows the highlight of the game so the consumer can determine if they're interested or not. The Jap cover would make a badass poster or store display, but not an advertisement for the game. It's like the cover of Ico.
>>342336179
So did Zephyr cop a feel in the dark or not?
>>342336351
There are drops, some pretty massive when you cause tons of particle effects, at least on the xbox
>>342336658
Of what?
>>342323328
>>342323856
This is one of the reasons I like this game. The add-on combinations could get ridiculous at times.
>>342323013
If people invested enough time in understanding the gameplay mechanics it gets fun and rewarding. I can understand if some thought it was too difficult.
>>342321089
hey monkey, why don't you borrow it next time and find out for yourself
>>342336284
Yeah, it's pretty cool. RoF feels like a PS2 JRPG in a lot of ways when it comes to the presentation, but with PS3-level visuals. There's tons of little details like that that they didn't have to do but did anyway to give it a little more flavor.
Also, the trophies awarded for story progression link together to form a vertical panorama. To this day I've never seen any other game do anything like that with the cheevo system.
>>342321089 (OP)
It was great.
Became a bit repetitive towards the end, but the gun customization system had enough depth to keep the gameplay enjoyable. Seems like the world should've been larger, a bit more explorable, and, with some more secrets.
Would be nice to see a sequel which expands on the orignal system, adding more flexibility and possibilities to it.
If Tri-ace gets offered the chance to make it happen though. Realistically, it doesn't seem likely.
>>342336849
Of everything
>>342337136
>>342337136
I don't know why, but I really loved that era of PS3 visuals like that in JRPGs. It was so comfy.
>Also, the trophies awarded for story progression link together to form a vertical panorama.
I loved that so fucking much. I want to platinum the game so much. Remember the trophy you get once you load 1 terabit of data from the game disc? That was unique too.
>>342337416
What even is there?
>>342337715
Raisins.
>>342337715

>>342336549
The JP cover is beautiful, the Western one is just CG shit. They really shouldn't have done that.
>>342325587
So...except for the flame part, the 360 is superior everywhere?
>>342337851
I saw a picture of both versions and in said picture, Vashyron's jacket had slightly worse textures on his standard jacket. Could just be one scene though.
>>342337971
*On the 360 version.
>the trophy list for this game
Not what you have to do, I just mean how they make it a vertical image.
Got the game two weeks ago.
Is it me or does the game's combat feel needlessly complicated?
Or is it just the tutorial?
>Artificial difficulty out the ass with difficulty spikes at random
I remember having the game be a breeze until the chapter where shield-toting human soldiers popped up and I couldn't progress past a single room. I had to grind AP rounds at the Colosseum to cheese it
>Story and ending makes no fucking sense and has no weight even after multiple playthroughs
>Really shallow combat system where eventually all you do is spam hero actions to get max charges
>Extremely linear everything
>Too much fucking grinding
>The mechanics are learned completely by Chapter 1 or 2 and you basically get nothing new in battles after that, its just a case of repetition
That said, I still love it despite all these glaring flaws that usually make me hate a game. I loved it so much I even platinum'D it. It's stylish, it's comfy as fuck, the characters are likeable even Zephyr in all his edgyness.
>>342338083
>>342337661
>vertical picture
>load a terabit of data off the disk
>kill an old man
>blow yourself up
>trophy for clearing a NG+ has a "thank you for playing!" message from the devs
This game probably has the best implementation of achievements/trophies I've ever seen. Even if the "get a star rank on every arena mission" is tedious as all hell.
>>342338083
How far are you in the trophies?
>>342338161
There's a lot of meat to it, but it's not supposed to be played without thinking. You need to strategise and pay attention to the surroundings. I will say that the Bezel system is a bit broken though. Once you lose all of them, you're essentially fucked.
>>342338161
It is complicated, you will probably think it's unnecessary at the first chapters since they are easy, but once the difficulty curve gets you you'll find out how useful everything is.
>>342338235
Any advice on platinuming it? I'm up to chapter 14 and the level design and enemy placement is really badly thought out. Anything else I should know?
>>342336549
>One cover conveys character-driven action/shooting
for the non blind it conveys weeboo shit. the this is the least weeboo game I remember from japan last gen.
>>342338253
>kill an old man
What's this one? Is that old man the one you see around town?
>Even if the "get a star rank on every arena mission" is tedious as all hell.

>Decide to skip it one chapter
>Suddenly, 50 new rounds are added
>>342338083
>Not really interested in trophies
>Check around chapter 6 or 7 just because
>See the vertical image
You know, this is one of the few games that got me interested on achievements.
>>342325587
So generally, 360 has more DoF, Bloom and glare effects on object, whereas PS3 looks sharper and seems to have slight AA and some stuff like buttons on clothing and Leanne's sleeve seem to be smaller for some reason. And then, randomly one or the other has better textures in some places. And one of the cogs in the background in front of their home, in the top left is instead slightly further to the left.
That's really odd.
>>342338397
Really, It's just a case of grinding, grinding and more fucking grinding. Get the accessories that increase EXP gained and keep doing some of the earlier colosseum battles to buy a shitload of armour-piercing rounds. At the end I had I had some of the "battles won" maxed out while the rest only had 3 won so I can access the next tier.
It will take you fucking ages, I took it slowly over the course of a year because remember you need to star every single colosseum battle too. That's 10 or so fights every tier. You need patience.
>>342338398
Yeah, surprisingly the game isn't that weeabooish. It's one of those rare few games. I'd like a sequel to ROF, but I'd hate it to become a cliche anime style game if they did. It's truly a unique game.
>>342338470
>What's this one? Is that old man the one you see around town?The old man is the leader of the rebels, you know the ones that are mentioned in the guild missions, he seems retarded in battle but can pretty much one hit kill anyone he attacks, pretty fun fight though.
>>342338283
>>342338390
Guess i expected an easy to plow through game.
Also, how the fuck do you do a Tri-Attack?
The tutorial does not explain this shit well.
>>342338161
Go through the tutorials and experiment in the arena. Eventually, it should click. It takes some time to get adjusted to it.
>>342338629
I've started linking terminals for a exp farm ever since I got my ass kicked. Does your level and gear carry over to NG+?
>>342338679
Sweet. How do you fight him?
>>342338691
Don't worry, it's not just you. First off, run a character between the other two and get a "Resonance Point" (Ithink that's what they're called). After that, press triangle (on the PS3 version) and attack. Make sure you have reasonable distance between each character and you'll do it. I couldn't figure it out for so long because it was described badly.
>>342338679
>one hit kill
No he doesn't
I was level 100 with all 3 and it was pretty easy
>>342338691
When a character passes between the other two in Hero Action, you gain one point. You can use that point to do a Tri-Attack which involves the characters each running to the others' positions in a line. However if you build more points, they'll keep running to the next spot, and you can have a longer Tri-Attack going on. But if you move a character manually at all, or cancel someone's turn, you lose all points. So the trick is trying to pass through each other to gain points with only Hero Action, while also making sure it leaves everyone in good spots so that a Tri-Attack can actually be effective.
>>342338691
Found this on >gamefaqs (don't blame me, I played this game a long time ago and forgot most of it and google gave me this as the first answer)
Perform a hero action in which your path will go through the theoretical path of another party member. Take no action other then running or jumping and this will result in a charge. You can stock up to three charges. Once you're in a triangle position with your characters, think of it as a baseball field and their position being bases. Press the Y button to map out the tri-attack, and the X-button to initiate it. Once you start running the mechanics work the same as regular shooting. For each charge you have, you'll run to the next "base", at three charges you'll do a full lap.

I think you have to do all the rebel mission, it's almost at the end of the game
>>342338883
Well I remember that you can run circles around him but if the manages to catch you he hits like a truck, can't be quite sure, haven't played it in a while.
>>342338873
Also, remember these too:
>You can switch characters during Tri-Attacks
>Ideally, form a big triangle shape with the characters to last longer
>The more RP you get, the more rotations you get
Played like 80 fucking hours of the game but still didn't finish it. The difficulty was just too frustrating in the end.
>>342338763
Yes it does as long as you stay on the same difficulty and yes I forgot about EXP terminals. Link all available ones to the arena and you're set for the grind.
The difficulty bit is ridiculous, there's like 8 different difficulties and you're expected to start from scratch every time. That's 8~ slogs. WHY

This looks good
>>342339035
Tri-attacks were the win button
If you hold out enough to charge 6/7 of them and just go SMG-SMG-Pistol you were pretty much assured a win
It's how I played the entire game since chapter 5 or something, when you get enough bezels to charge it up a lot and then you just have them start running around like maniacs
>>342339164
My first playthrough took me 100 hours and I was well above level 100 with every character, and I didn't do Neverland
>>342339227
There's no difficulty trophies right?
>>342339242
Thanks for that link. I love the art in this game but can never find high res photos.
Are any of the clothes available as merchandise or did someone manage to rip the files? I really want to wear some of those.
>>342338873
>>342338995
>>342339035
Thanks, buddies.
Now, finally, i can back into the game, that shit was driving me up the wall that i refused to play any further until i passed the entire tutorial.
How would you even describe the setting and aesthetic of this game?
>>342336330
>>342337302
>>342337318
Anon are you okay?
>>342321089
Best party clothing simulator ever made but otherwise an awfully boring game
>>342339575
If it gets too hard, just remember that there are some easy ways to make money and exp.
>>342339056
>>342339575
Pic related is the ideal strategy
Obviously you need to be flexible with each map battle, especially bosses but I used a variation of this for most of the game since chapter 5 and I got by pretty easily, even in the brutal arena battles and Neverland
Obviously make sure the enemy/ies are in the middle of the final kill zone
>>342339656
Or the Arena
>>342339593
Steampunk, except not gay.
>>342339791
Alternatively, you could switch one character to duel SMGs and have one only use grenades of some kind, no? I'll use this though.
>>342339631
My bad Anon, I don't know why the posting system f'ed up on my end.
>>342339884
I had Zephyr and Leanne dual wielding SMGs and Vash with a pistol and the first aid kit
no grenades, i just grinded that skill in the arena for easy level ups
PC PORT FUCKING WHEN SEGA
REEEEEEEEEEEEEE
God, I miss this game so much.
>>342339838
I wish more JRPGs went for this feeling like ROF does.
>>342339320
Thankfully no, otherwise I wouldn't have platinum'D it. I like unique and/or difficult trophies. Grindy trophies I will put up with depending on if I like the game enough or not, but there's a limit. I refuse to do trophies that make me outright loathe even looking at a game. The idea of repeating the game under those terms that many times is the antithesis of fun.
>>342339593
A John Woo action-inspired, victorian Sci-fi, with a dash of alternate universe, post-apocalyptic setting, maybe?
>>342340089
I agree.
>>342340108
That sounds pretty accurate actually.
>>342339965
Is this set up good for late game?
>>342340047
After how well VC went on PC, I wish Sega would port this and Yakuza to PC. They'd be loved on there.
>>342321089
Nothing happens the game. It literally a pro gun slice of life game ballet. Still enjoy it tho.
My biggest was the terrible low selection of weapons, when i firt got i was really expecting a bigger selection like sub machineguns, assault rifles, rifles and shotguns
Always wanted this game but never found a copy, years later I lost interest though seeing people that liked this also liked Xenoblade (that I'm loving right now in 3DS) and Lost odyssey, that I fucking loved makes me want to hunt down a copy or wait for a PC release, hopefully
I've never felt more helpless than when playing this game.
I got to the first boss (in the room with the oil barrels), and even watching a video guide could not figure out for the life of me how I was supposed to survive against that fucking thing long enough to figure out how to use the oil barrels.
It's pretty jarring (and mildly entertaining) playing this and then Spec Ops: The Line due to Nolan North voicing both protags. You go from happy to go lucky semi-serious goofball to him going fucking bonkers from PTSD.
>>342338253
>This game probably has the best implementation of achievements/trophies I've ever seen.
I want to agree butDead Risingdid it better

Infinite money isn't literately infinite though. It's not even a cheat. It's just crafting something with cheap parts and selling for a profit. It really makes good money though.
>>342340413
That's when I knew this game was special. I felt so happy after beating that.
>>342321089
Great game, non-existant story.
The worst thing is that it acts as if it had a story, and builds up to something that never comes.
Anyway had great fun with the battle system, building ridiculous guns and playing dressup with the girl
>>342340279
Yeah, you need at least one of them with dual SMGs or you'll never deal enough scratch damage
I didn't use grenades that much and I kept the first aid kit mostly in case of an emergency than anything
>>342321089
Loved it. Got 2/3rds in. Got bored. Sold it.
Saw it again a year or 2 later. Played it all. Loved it.
It kinda began to lull just before it picks up, but had I replayed it and got past it. Such a brilliant game.
>>342340616
I'll have to try that then.
>>342340401
I didn't like Lost Odyssey much but I loved RoF
2010 was a fucking great year, the beginning of the year was fantastic, Bayonetta, FFXIII and RoF
>>342340401
PC release probably won't happen. The game is pretty cheap these days though, try eBay.
>>342340401
Xenoblade sucks tho
>>342340616
You don't really need dual if you mod it good enough, but it helps if you don't. What you do need though is leveling SMG on two characters to max level so it will stun on full attack. This will make game a cakewalk, as it works on anything and everything, including bosses.
Another good advice is learn tile connection and connect juicy +xp and +drop stations to the arena, so you can easily grind there.
>>342321089
It has a cliff face for a learning curve. Climb it and it gets quickly boring from there.
>>342339791
This is actually helping me right now. Thank you, anon :)
>>342339791
>Leanne SMG
>When Vashyron gets all the "fuck you" SMG skills like 8 levels before the other characters
>>342340339
>They'd be loved on there.
Every single Yakuza game bombed on ps2 AND ps3 in the West.
Unless you think that all this time the true Yakuza audience was hiding on PC, they would have the same fate and you know it.
>>342341235
Is there a single example of a game that did lousily on console and then came to PC and hit it big?
>>342340401
its 10$ on psn
>>342341006
But getting a character to lvl 100 SMG is insanely long
>>342341217
I know but it's to avoid throwing Leanne into the middle of the field and getting gangraped
Vash has much health than her so he can take a much heavier beating
I the enemies aren't tough you don't even need to use the resonance attack or just use it at 3/4 charges
So you go with the 2 SMG wielders first and then thrown Vash in to tank a few bullets
>>342341274
don't think so
>>342341274
The last remnant sold better on pc
Neptunia rebirth 1 probably sold better on pc
>>342321089
Is that the RPG with the QTE radar-style rings on every single attack, or the SRPG that I haven't played but hear good things?
>>342342139
It's more of a SRPG.
>>342321890
Final fantasy x 2
>>342325969
RIP in peace
>>342341235
console players in the west mainly care about big AAA games so no wonder Yakuza flopped. It could probably find a decent niche on PC but it wouldn't be a ''big hit''
>>342343660
I wonder then how the others weeb ( even if yakuza isn't) niche games survive if consoles players don't care about it
>>342344058
probably because localization is not a big deal
>>342335731
explain
>>342337136
Loved this touch!!
I beat the game and I still don't know how tri attack works
>>342321089
It's a game with a lot of great ideas, but it gets repetitive as hell. I didn't even finish.
Leveling up in this game takes fucking forever.
>>342345481
Its been a while since I've played it, but I think you have to cross a character between the two remaning characters' alignment and save up specific points to trigger the option.
>>342322183
Fucking false advertising then. I enjoyed the game, but every fucking dungeon was a grey corridor.
>>342346046
I totally get it in theory and how it works, but for some reason when I try to do it I go full retatd and fuck it up everytime. I just go hero mode and jump like a maniac. Either I was cheesing the game or it was just dumb luck. I want to replay it so bad but I'm scared remembering how difficult some of the bosses were.
The fucking Jallopy golemn. I can't tell you how long I fought it before before I realized armor piercing bullets fuck it up in like 2 hits
>>342345974
I remember there being some way to link a few nodes to get a bunch of xp, but it's been fucking aeons since I've played this.
>>342346187
My first play through I didn't know you can level up quicker by switching weapons so by the time I got to the yeti boss I was serverly under leveled. Through the sheer power of patience and autism, I managed to kill it somehow with my stock pile of grenades that I never used up until that point.
It was pretty funny watching them level up with every hit
>>342346187
You should be able to stack the points to get more rounds in a single tri-attack.
That, and initally use submachine guns to debilitate the HP bar, follow it up by a character that deals regular gun damage.
I'd suggest you have at least one character with a decent submachine gun level.
>>342346605
Before I 'got' the system, I had alot of difficulty defeating the electric tortoise boss. Eventually, I got through it by sheer luck.
>Start relying on tri-attacks
>Mission where a party member is missing
>Get my shit stomped by everything
I've forgotten where I got to but I got to a point where I couldn't progress at all because of this.
The only thing I don't really like about the game is that unless you talk to EVERY NPC you won't be able to piece together the story or you'll miss important plot points. Thank god for wiki
I watched a friend play it, and it was intensely interesting. I didn't have a PS3 or 360, so I missed out on it. I would love to see this game re-released/mastered on PC so I can experience it for myself. Wasn't there a rumor that Sega was planning PC releases for a bunch of titles, and Resonance of Fate was one of them?
>>342321089
>female character who wears a skirt
>combat system that involves ridiculous amounts of flashy jumping somersault air attacks
>>342348419
Das it mane
>that feel when you linked every buff on every level
>>342348419
Now try being a guy who used to have a crush on Olette
>>342348050
Not to mention they say different shit every chapter, too.
>>342348193
Yes there was. But so far nothing has come of it.
I wonder how they're planning to do it anyway, since none of those games have been made by SEGA themselves. I think they ported Bayonetta to PS3, but that seems to have been a one-off. With all the engine theory and shit they probably have to learn, I wonder if they'll bother to do it for RoF and Vanquish.
>>342348736
That's not real, is it? Or if it is it's not possible in the Western version, IIRC.
I thought tri-Ace were being classy and intentionally didn't sexualise Leanne in any way... ;_;
>>342351889
just buy that 200k skirt and you'll be seeing upskirts flying everywhere
>>342351889
Game was released before the social justice crowd rampaged through the media.
>>342352438
Well, there are upskirts aplenty in RoF but you don't ever get to see her pantsu. Unless I'm mistaken and you do with costume B, I never use that one.
Upskirts with costume A are very dignified in that nothing even remotely lewd is shown, which is what a dignified character like Leanne deserves!
>>342352671
>and you do with costume B
This. All the fucking time. If you leave the ground, you will see her underwear. Shit was glorious.
>>342321089
Very fun at the beggining, original fighting system, Leanne is cute. Gets very repetitive fast. Story explenation is garbage, you will understand almost nothing.
>>342321089
The combat is a pain until you start to get used to it. Then you'll really have a blast playing. It's one of the few JRPGs that has made me actively think before doing anything in combat.
>>342351889its real
>>342336849
Leanne is so flat it's not funny.
