sequels are always better than the original. plus the sequel is supposed to be released on vita and purportedly squeenix will be doing dev duties instead of tecmo (although that might just be a translation issue). I'd guess it won't release until 2017 and by then the earth could be overrun by magma from a massive asteroid impact or something.
I've never played one more than like 5 minutes of one on the PS2 but I hear the Samurai Warriors one on PS4 is good.2016 baitin'.
I do like the look of DQH but those Musou-style games all seem very dull. If you guys were going to recommend one as the best in the genre, what would it be? The only ones I've played so far are DW Next and Senran Kagura. DW Next was an immediate bore. Senran Kagura is hard to judge the style fairly from because the load times and frequency were atrocious.
I do have OP: Pirate Warriors 2, but I've no idea if that's one of the better games in the genre or not.
Just buy it and have the price adjusted to whatever it drops to after 7 days. You know you want to!!
As the primary guy here who enjoys Musou-style games, I thought I'd have an answer for you, but:2016 baitin'.

I remember this game now. I started it when we got it on Plus and almost immediately hated it.
I don't think so (if there's no orders in order history) but you can check balance here: https://login.gamestop.com/Profile#powerup
yup, I did the same. coming back to it it's a totally serviceable game albeit unfair at times (i.e. having to move a block over a pit across four moving platforms where the platforms are the size of the block and the controls suuuuck). maybe that just means that my standards have lowered over the past two years. like I'm sitting there playing it and subconsciously thinking 'at least it isn't don't starve'.
If you don't like Musou games, don't bother imo. They're all pretty much the same thing with different skins. I personally prefer the licensed ones, so I had a good time with Hyrule Warriors and Dragon Quest Heroes. DQH compared to hyrule had more party management, side quests, and equipment stuff to deal with making it a little closer to an RPG-esque experience. But at the core, you mash a button to beat up a bunch of dudes and occasionally use a special attack. Same as all the other Musou games. If you don't like the gameplay in one, changing skins isn't going to help much.2016 baitin'.

Yeah, I looked at both of those. Nothing is showing in my order history, and my card balance is lower than I thought it should be. Unfortunately I was dumb and didn't check the balance before I tried placing the orders.
ing pain because whatever/whoever you need to protect can't survive for shit. So they spawn enemies all the way at the other end of the map, and you have to make a choice. You can stay at your goal and kill the things attacking it, or you can run to where the enemies are spawning and stop them from spawning. So if you stay, the enemies just keep spawning over and over. The only way to stop them is to shut down the spawns. So remember when I said you have to make a choice? Yeah, it doesn't matter because you're going to go for the spawn points anyway. So literally every mission is the same thing in the end. There's zero variety.
I do plan to give Senran Kagura: Estival Versus a try on PS4. I'm hoping the platform change will eliminate the terrible loading of the Vita game that came before it. If not at least the fan service is silly fun.
I ordered a PSN card from the website over the weekend. It always failed when I tried to really go to the check out when logged in. I called because I was worried it was taking the money from my gift card.
Legitimate least favorite mission was the one where you have to protect the dwarf king while he stands in the middle of the map. Every damn time the asshole would run in a circle to the strongest monster then stand there and get walloped on. And the farthest, least accessible, spawn point was the one spawning the worst monsters that had a direct line to the dwarf. Damn monkey things would just gather around him and he'd be dead within a minute. But if you ran off to kill that spawn point first, he'd die before you could get back because all the other spawn points were much closer.The worst part about DQH is that until the last few missions, there are just two types of level. You either defeat all the monsters or you protect something. Obviously kill everything is easy. The protect something missions are such a
ing pain in the ass.
Yeah, I tried to grab a psn card with my order as well. I'm going to have to call them over lunch or something, because I'm almost certain I should have had more than $15 on that gift card.
No, its some form of self deprecation. Everyone here has to know that they wasted more money (credit for Vig and others) than they saved when they have a 100 game backlog they most likely will never finish because they keep buying more games.
Good for those who missed out on the BlackFlag + Rogue bundle from Walmart for $15 awhile ago.
You're the primary guy?
I think this is actually true (for some of us) - talking about it for me actually helps reinforce that I don't need to buy shit because it's cheap. I bet last year I bought 1/5 the number of games than I did the year before and now I'm hoping to really chew through what's left or axe what I don't want to play. definitely not a source of pride/wang length though. I'd rather have money in my pocket than the 100 games on my 'shit I will never play' spreadsheet tab.
Yeah that's why I'm incredibly selective of what I buy digital now. At least with physical games I can get a portion, or sometimes all, of what I paid for the game back if I finish it or decide I no longer want to play it.
Exactly this. Looks like I only ended up buying three things during the holiday sale (one for a system I don't even own yet). But there were so many more that looked somewhat interesting that I probably would have bought at this time last year.
I need to save this when people do not understand how I am saving money by using GF.
I'd swap over to gamefly if I primarily played retail games. But overall I spend way more time with downloadables. And then end up spending a month or more playing the various retail games I do get.
It's not even so much about the money for me anymore, but about the whole stupid concept. I know we like to pick on vig, but he literally just listed off 5 or 6 30-40 hour games from the same genre (that probably don't play that much different). Plus a bunch of assassins creed games that have similar lengths, especially if you likes you some tropheez.
Yeah, my play style works better for it than most. Then again I have been staring at the Uncharted Collection disc for a couple days while playing Minecraft and other stuff that I knew would be more fun while mixing in games being passed around from the import site.
Play that first festival on the very bottom, the one with the lightning and pre-selected bands. Can't remember the name. Then just start it and let the money pile up. Don't clear away any of the dialogs or whatever and don't worry about satisfying and concert goers because it's not your actual festival you're mucking up. Only time you have to exit out is when you need to upgrade your trailer to hold more money.
. I guess that means I should leave some of the shorter ones alone, which I've been doing pretty good at lately I think. I'd rather play one giant 40-hour game that I love than five or six 6-8 hour ones that are just okay.
I don't see that anywhere. Every one I start I have to choose my bands
No trophies might as well be combined with shit ill never play amirite?
Guarding in DQH is actually incredibly useful, as it seems to take quite a bit to break your guard. Also, are you playing as Luceus? If so, his Square-Square-Triangle combo attack will almost always interrupt larger enemies' moves.
I keep thinking about Gamefly but then I get another half dozen games added to the pile with plus games and $5 and under PSN games. I am better than most at not buying shit though.
