Games You've Bought

I have pre-ordered and paid off two JRPGs.  Mario and Luigi Dream Team was the first.  That decision was an easy one, for the previous Mario and Luigi game was easily the best so far.  That series is running hot.  The second pre-order is Shin Megami Tensei IV.  Again, this is because I totally dug the previous entry in the franchise (SMT Strange Journey).  SMT Strange Journey was maybe not as objectively good game as M&L 3, but it appealed to me subjectively very specifically with it's nihilistic tone and morality system that I actually didn't hate.

Yeah, it was definitely a budget issue. I personally would have preferred a 10-15 hour jrpg if i didnt have to go through recycled material. And the text idea was cute. I applaude it. It wasnt fun though. I applaud and champion the entire game for trying so much, still a lot of parts just arent...fun. Theyre a chore. But whatever.

Hahaha, really? What difficulty are you playing on? Me, it's just that I started playing again after like a year and mistakenly picked Prince difficulty. Turns out I wasn't quite there yet but now I'd rather try and beat Prince than go back to Warlord. I'm on my fourth attempt over the past few days now.

 

I don't have a problem lasting, I just end up giving up when it becomes clear that the A.I. is way too far ahead for me to be able to win. Last game, I gave up around 1960AD. That one stung a bit...

Oh, yeah, if you neglect building a military, you can get demolished pretty fast. Learned that the hard way. I have the game set to autosave every 5 turns, so when it happens I just go back a bit and prepare for the attack. Sometimes it makes the AI decides not to attack attack at all.

I build a military. My problem is choosing the advanced military trees. As in go with metal work instead of choosing something else. Plus I can't go back a difficulty by principles alone or I'll be known as "the Wally formerly known as Prince"

Well that depends on how long you've been playing. If you just started playing and jumped straight to Prince and are really struggling, then yeah I'd recommend taking it down a notch. At least until you learn the game a bit. Maybe see if you can win on Warlord. 

 

Anyway, we should stop being off-topic too much or Dean's going to get mad and swing his mod-axe at the thread.  :P

The thing that drives me nuts about Civ V, as much as I love it, is how I'm pretty much forced to conquer all my neighbors militarily and then when they're down to one city and I offer them mercy, they demand tribute in return.  

 

THEY DEMAND TRIBUTE IN EXCHANGE FOR ME ALLOWING THEM TO LIVE.
