Twinblade★ 3,891 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Playing Like a Dragon Ishin. Doesn’t start off as a slow as the typical Yakuza which is surprising. Some real shit already went down in the first chapter. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 I think 4-2 (ritual path) may be the worst path to a boss loll. So, I went back to flamelurker in 2-2 and beat him pretty easily this time (I think I only got hit twice?). I was too underpowered my first time. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That’s the level where you have to follow those narrow paths along the cliffside and there’s enemies that can cause you to easily fall off right? That area was fucked up 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted February 23, 2023 Author Share Posted February 23, 2023 I beat Fools Idol and I’m seeing, more and more, why some people were disappointed with ER. Rennala’s fight was barely a new spin on this battle. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 I beat leachmonger and dragon god. The game’s pacing is awesome! I realized I’m half-way through. I want to rescue yuria. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
-GD-X★ 7,729 Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Pretty cool thing happened. Anyhow, I was looking for Yuria, but found an old knight in a cell. I released him. I later accidentally stumbled upon The Penetrator boss and the knight joined the fight and kept aggro-ing him for me. That ended up being the fastest and easiest boss battle. I wonder how it would have played out solo. Oh, there’s a change for how to save Yuria in the remake. Instead of having the official’s cap, you need all of his equipment. Fortunately, I’ve been exploring everything, thoroughly, and had all of the pieces. I’m assuming the devs did this to make fooling the official, who drops the steps, more believable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Oh yeah. You can see where ER got a lot of its inspiration from. DS is basically a tighter, more focused, ER. Both games use a lot of the same tactics. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

How'd you like valley of defilement? the ps5 remake maiden astraea ost is worse than the og but man, that fight is my fav Spoiler did you you beat garl vinland or fought your way through the aids babies river don't worry the biggest hit is yet to come Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I stunned him, ran past him, and killed the broad. I think the Swamp of Sorrow, Prison of Hope and Upper Latria were my favorite areas. In many ways, I prefer the levels over the bosses. The battles were mostly on the easier side. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think the Swamp of Sorrow, Prison of Hope and Upper Latria were my favorite areas. In many ways, I prefer the levels over the bosses. The battles were mostly on the easier side. The lore about the area is just so good and the slight revelation when you do the last boss. I mean it is Spoiler a gimmick fight in a game where most bosses are gimmicks, it's not even a fight. But it is still my fav, because of all the shit you see, and wade through those swamps, meet the filthy vendor woman crying about her babies and then finally get past garl vinland the last protector and then just ruin them by slaying astraea. I had tears in my eyes when I first did this boss, they just wanted to be left alone and you are the bad guy when you enter the fog and the music starts playing and you see the dreglings on the cliff praying the ps3 version was more emotional to me. But yea, the areas - the overall exploration is the big part of course. glad you enjoy this game, man. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mr. House 3,371 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 Octopath Traveler 2 is godly. Very similar to the first game but somehow the small changes makes it a better game to me. There's a limit break like skill that is unique to every character, you now have two special skill that you can use for NPCs outside of combat depending on day and night cycle (which you can switch at any time), you can go on water with a canoe and some minor QOL improvements. Still very similar overall but it flows nicely so far, I play a lot of RPGs and this is one of the best I've played in a while. First 2023 release I buy and it's excellent, I'm very happy. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Twinblade★ 3,891 Posted February 26, 2023 Share Posted February 26, 2023 12 hours into Ishin. I don't know how the Yakuza studio does it, but here we are with yet another game in the series and once again im obsessed with it The formula just doesn't get old for me and still manages to be surprising and engaging every single time. Its the one open world series that throws checklists at you but manages to make all that stuff fun and rewarding to complete. Looking forward to putting several dozen more hours into it.

Had a great time reading your updates on this one man, what a classic game - wish I could experience again for the first time.
