What are Lufia 1 and 2 about? I've seen Lufia 2 pop up a few times randomly on the internet but have never heard anyone talk about either of them.

I've always wondered too. I had a not-so-close friend swear by Lufia 2, calling it one of the best games ever made. I'd like to check it out. Is it on the VC? Or do we have to emulate?

--------------------

Praise Be To Helix!

Lufia II is an excellent, excellent SNES RPG with good combat, okay characters, and CRAZY good puzzles that get quite challenging later on. It had a DS remake that wasn't very good, and sadly Lufia II is really the only good game in the series. But it's a cult classic that I recommend highly.

Lufia I is a major downgrade (Lufia II is a prequel anyway, so no story concerns) and the GBA game was pretty bad. But you can do a LOT worse than playing Lufia II on an emulator. There's a long main quest, an optional super-dungeon, monster recruiting, lots of hidden stuff. It came late in the SNES's life cycle and is quite feature rich for an RPG of that era.

So, amazon has the SNES version at $112, and the DS version was named Curse of the Sinistrels. So... emulator?

Lufia II
Metroid Prime
Nostalgia
Pokémon Crystal Emu Edition
Pokémon TCG1 Terranigma
Recettear
The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky
Tales of Symphonia
Ys II
La-Mulana
Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled

Scratch Pokémon TCG1, and add in Terranigma, which I somehow forgot.

Also add in Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled. That's an apparently little-known DS JRPG with excellent music and story, so far as I can tell. The battle system is a bit tedious, but I have gotten through a lot of the story already. I might have even posted about it here before...

I dug up Nostalgia a couple nights ago and re-learned how to do things in that game, so now I'm ready to go finish it.

Speaking of Lufia II, I just noticed that I have yet to dig up my save files for it and Terranigma...looks like they'll wait a little longer until I unpack some boxes.

Now that the second Adam Jensen Deus Ex game is out, I finally got around to playing the first. I wish I hadn't waited so long - I had my doubts about Eidos Montreal being able to do what Ion Storm did so long ago, but it's amazing. It is exactly the Deus Ex game that the original would have been, had it been made a decade later. They've really gotten the big things right, from the exploration and multiple paths aspect, to the construction of the game scenario, to the augmentation system. Once I finish this, I will definitely snap up the new one on its first Steam sale.

My game...is Blood and Fire.



And a collecting a metric asston of (s)crap! Like, Jesus, did Ubisoft make this game? It takes one of the most vibrant and anachronistic properties and turns into one of the most generic open-world games I've ever played. And the fighting mechanics are awful! They took the Arkham series' systems and bizarrely changed it all for the worse. They made Max sluggish as hell, locked him into attacks he can't get out of to parry, and stuffed the camera in so close that attacks can come from off screen. Arkham got this down in their first game, why would you change it at all!

And yet...



And it knows it too, because creating screenshots is literally baked into the design of the game. They have their own menu system exclusively devoted to it! It's about the only part of the game that evokes the source material at least insomuch as it's brazenly shameless!

And if I'm being honest, it is fun (*cough*sofar*cough*) in exactly the kind of shallow, empty, skinner-box-gimmie-mah-treat-for-clearing-the-icon-on-da-map that defines the modern open world franchise releases. In a word...inoffensive. Still...there's a lot of map to clear in this game, so I'm not confident it'll keep till the end.

Been playing Tomb Raider II (PC) and forgot how good/bad it is. Great as a platform game with a lot of great platform segments but my god is the game literally 'die every 5 minutes' frustrating. Too many enemies compared to the first game and scarce ammo, especially late in the game. But damn. one of the best games of it's generation and almost equal to, but not better than the first game.

Dragon Quest VII: Fragments of the Forgotten Past (3DS)

Really solid Dragon Quest game with a class system built like a better version of DQ VI's, with a pretty satisfying story conceit of "rebuilding the world" by locating fragments of stone tablets, using completed tablets to travel back in time, and then repopulating the world with new islands and continents after you prevent the past islands from being erased. The characters are a little boring for a modern Dragon Quest game, but the individual vignette stories are pretty cool and I'm just starting to see the main story take shape - I'm at level 34, and I just fought Orgodemir at the Excavation Site Cave.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel (Vita)

Cold Steel II came out in English earlier this month, but I'm still on the first one. It's great. If Trails in the Sky felt like an excellent PS1 RPG (that was made in the 2000s), then Cold Steel is an excellent PS2 RPG (that was made in the 2010s). The school setting is fun to explore, the characters are excellent, and the combat moves pretty briskly for being turn-based. I'm probably not at the halfway point yet, but I look forward to finishing this one up later in 2016.

--------------------

Time to announce a completion of a game on my list!

Nostalgia - main storyline + 100% of World Treasures

The game about discovery has been...well, mostly discovered. Beyond just finishing the main storyline, I've also (1) made the right moves to make sure that this file can eventually get 100% (by which this means I logged the missable maps and the missable enemies), and most recently (2) I've gotten 100% of the World Treasures, which are basically kinda like scavenger pixel hunts where people tell you about a location -- basically all of which are real-world features (or former features), including Skara Brae, Machu Picchu, the Abu Simbel temples, the Nazca Lines, the Buddhas of Bamyan, Angkor Wat, the Statue of Zeus at Olympia, and the Great Wall of China. There are a total of 50 of them and they are revealed by clues from NPCs. Once an NPC gives you a clue, you can go find it, by flying over the correct spot on the world. It's hunting down that spot -- which often isn't quite where it you'd think it is based on where it is in real life, and which often requires changing altitude to get across mountain ranges -- that can be rather tricky sometimes. But these little discoveries were just one more thing that that perfectly fit the theme of the game, giving the protagonists not just the role of explorer but the role of cartographer and cataloguer, and even got me to learn a bit of real-world history and geography in the process!

I really want to love this game, but so now I'm at a point where the next Adventurer's Association quest is in one of the two superdungeons, and the enemies in there are kicking my behind like there's no tomorrow, and it turns out that the game's battles are (sadly) the one thing that is the least interesting feature of the game. I do have a friend who grinded for hours, leveled up every skill in the process, and eventually got ever so close to 100% but couldn't reach it because he'd missed some maps. So maybe one day I'll get 100% in his stead.

The rest of the list...sees the new addition of Unepic because I forgot to put that in the first time. Good thing is I'm going to go play it now. I'm about 2/3 or 3/4 through that. I've been stuck on it mainly because I've been undecided on whether I want to try to take on the difficult but not-quite-totally-impossible-seeming challenge of defeating Medeox without killing his snakes, or if I just want to get past him and call it a day. The game gives you challenge points that you can redeem for unique prizes; the prizes aren't anything important but are just cool things to have, and are not required for beating the game.

So here's the new list, in alpha order, with some extra data -- genre, system, release year, developer, publisher, country of origin, current position, and (most importantly) intended completion conditions.

Black Sigil: Blade of the Exiled (JRPG, DS, 2009, Studio Archcraft, Graffiti Entertainment, Canada)
Current position: some mountainside, I forgot the name
Completion condition: main story condition (might take a while since this game's battles are rather slow)

La-Mulana (2D exploration platformer, PC, 2005/2011, GR3/Nigoro, Playism, Japan)
Current position: hard to describe or even remember what with the complex mesh of dependencies this game has but I've beaten four bosses.
Completion condition: defeating the final boss, and possibly also getting 100% of something? depends on whether I need to deal with Hell Temple, which I refuse to deal with.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky FC (JRPG, PC, 2004, Nihon Falcom, Nihon Falcom, Japan)
Current position: about halfway through the first chapter, of five
Completion condition: any% completion, followed by a possible Max Bracer Points completion

Lufia II (JRPG, SNES, 1995, Neverland, Taito, Japan)
Current position: triangle island
Completion condition: main story completion

Metroid Prime (3D exploration platformer, GameCube, 2002, Retro Studios, Nintendo, USA/Japan)
Current position: Phazon mine?
Completion condition: 100% scans (I might restart though)

Pokémon Crystal Emu Edition (adventure/strategy, GameBoy Color, 2001, Game Freak, The Pokémon Company, Japan)
Current position: 4 badges in Johto, just cleared Team Rocket base in Mahogany town, Pokédex 90/251 (including all Unown forms)
Completion condition: full Pokédex completion (all 251)

Recettear (sim/action RPG, PC, 2007, EasyGameStation, Carpe Fulgur, Japan)
Current position: halfway through second attempt in main game (likely to be easily successful this time)
Completion condition: first-loop the main game, then use New Game + repeatedly to accumulate all adventurers' True Cards, and complete the Item Encyclopedia (this is likely to take a while since some items appear only as random rare item drops from dungeon monsters and others appear only as random sellback items from customers, including crazy scam girl)

Tales of Symphonia (JRPG/action, GameCube/PC, 2004, Namco Tales Studio, Namco, Japan)
Current position: escaped from high-tech base, entering fire dungeon
Completion condition: main story completion?

Terranigma (action RPG, SNES, 1995, Quintet, Nintendo, Japan)
Current position: the beginning of Spain?
Completion condition: main story completion with extras? (may restart if necessary)

Unepic (2D exploration platformer/action RPG, PC, 2011, Francisco Téllez de Menenses et al., EnjoyUp/Ninagamers, Spain)
Current position: about to fight Medeox
Completion condition: main story completion

Ys II (action RPG, PC, 988/2009, Nihon Falcom, Nihon Falcom, Japan)
Current position: second dungeon or first? also lighting towns people on fire and then giving them gifts to make up for it
Completion condition: main story completion (might just restart since I stopped really early into the game)

There are 11 games. I'm not going to get through them in this year, but I'm going to try to finish Unepic and Lufia 2 soon. Then probably Terranigma and Ys 2 and Black Sigil (which I need to re-learn how to play), and that's it for relatively fast ones aside from Metroid Prime. I might be playing Pokémon on and off throughout this. Recettear, Sky FC, and Symphonia are the really long ones. I also might not be able to play Metroid Prime much because I don't have good access to the TV right now.

Possibly Massive Eggs 3 next? Who knows.

After hours and hours of playing, I can confirm that Terraria's developers officially fixed that nasty corrupting save file bug the vita version had. Made it to hard mode again but now am yet again stuck on The Twins. Man they're one hell of a boss the first time you fight them. I LOVE IT!
Also still slip in some Dragonball Xenoverse on the side and we are currently playing the first F.E.A.R. for my channel. (We already beat the first 3 uncharted games for the channel but I'll probably go back and mop up the remaining trophies after I plat Terraria)
That's about it for me game wise.

So I found out that I lost my (rather old) save files for Terranigma and Lufia 2, as well as my (rather recent) save files for Pokémon Crystal Emu Edition.

That left me feeling a bit bummed out.

I went and played Recettear instead. I'm inching one tiny bit closer to getting that first-loop completion. This time I spent several tries getting used to using the mage Caillou in the dungeon -- high risk, high reward, and I gotta stay paying attention all the time. But I made it through a dungeon section and brought home some pretty nice loot in the process. Time to do it two more times to unlock Tielle.

But the key thing I wanted to do in this particular loop is use Caillou the most often, which is now the case. This means that when I do successfully complete this loop, I get Caillou's True Card.

This is especially important since normally to unlock Caillou as an adventurer you have to get the obnoxiously rare Slime Liver item, and it happens so that in this playthrough I did in fact get it from my first drop from the Slime King boss.

(It's actually the Slime King's common drop, believe it or not, but the reason it's so rare is because there's only one Slime King boss to drop anything, at this point in the game.)

(I still need to get more Slime Liver to unlock him as a customer, in a New Game Plus, but he'll be unlocked as an adventurer from the beginning of the NG+, based on my understanding.)

Skyrim modded on pc.

I don't like the thieves guild in skyrim, as it feels so small and the quests don't feel as grandiose.

I downloaded some mods to fix that so you can make your guild great again and get influence in other areas with more quests.

I still prefer the skill system in oblivion with the class system there.You have actual classes instead of this system that allows you to become no class in general.I am going for a thief build with some weapons skills.

I added a mod to make it so you can bottle blood and a mod also called:Blood thirsty.It makes it so you start out real weak and get stronger with age instead of getting weak from drinking blood.I like the idea, because it makes no sense to get weaker from drinking blood and stronger from not drinking blood.It also adds some cool effects like:You can charm people into agreeing to them letting you drink their blood.

Finally beat the Twins on Terraria. Gosh damn do they put up one hell of a fight the first time you take them down. I already new the Destroyer was easy but I figured Skeletron Prime would be as hard as the Twins but he was easy as cake so I've been golden on this game. Already taken down Plantera and the Golem. I even managed to finally take out this games take on a super boss (the Dungeon Guardian).
As far as I can tell, the only bosses I have left are:
The Frost Legion (only appears in the game when your system calendar says it is around christmas time).
Mothron during a Solar Eclipse.
The bosses that appear during the pumpkin moon event (The Spookey Tree or whatever it's called, the Pumpkin King, and maybe one other that I don't remember off the top of my head).
Duke Fishron.
And Ocron
After this. I'll only have to do clean up on my trophies to plat it. Might need some help tracking down all the in game pets though. Their drop rate from enemies is ridiculously low so getting all of them without trading might be a little to much of a time sink for me to do.

I still put in Dragonball Xenoverse every now and then to grind out skills and Z-Souls. (The mid game drop rate for these seems to be lower than the early game drop rates. Some parallel quests almost take me 10 hours to get 1 drop for some of these).

We're still playing F.E.A.R. for our channel (we sit down for about 2 or 3 hour recording sessions once every few days). This game is surprisingly harder than any of us remember and our videos have devolved from us taking turns to me playing to progress the story while Solgar (one of my costars) takes a stab at the game every now and usually gets killed. A buddy of mine did praise this game once for it's A.I.'s intelligence and I have to agree with him. I've played few FPS's where the enemy A.I. can formulate plan's, traps, strategically use grenades, and perform ambushes as well as this one. Makes me wonder why most games that came after this 1995 game have such crappy A.I.'s.....

So no new bosses yet in terraria yet i presume and no new stuff?

I played this game like a year ago or more and they were adding lots of stuff to terraria.

Going back to skyrim by the way.

Might enter hello neighbour from time to time, but nothing to do at the moment.

They added fishing into the game. They also added the angler and stylist NPC's to add to your village.
Duke Fishron is a new boss if you're playing consoles.
It turns out they did not add Mothron yet (which sucks because that means they also didn't add tablet fragments so i can activate the solar eclipse myself. These are rare as heck on this game!)

I 100%'d Super Metroid for the first time. Took me 4:59 in-game time.

I had some help, as I happened to be streaming and two of my friends who were watching are both very experienced with Super Metroid.

I think I managed about 71% on my own previously, with some knowledge of the game from speedruns.

It's funny how I "learned" Super Metroid "incorrectly" -- i.e. I didn't use the game's own cues to tell me where to go, but instead, I got to know it through watching speedruns, TASes, and other playthroughs over the years.

So, when I thought about sequence hinting design aspects of the game, stuff like this confused me: "How would anyone ever know to shoot supers at the wall to get into Kraid's lair? Those blocks aren't even hinted at!"

Turns out the answer is that the map very blatantly hints at the presence of something to the right. Yes, the designers actually used access to the map rooms as a way to guide the player through an intended sequence.

Oh, and remember the famous glass tube in Maridia? You're not supposed to know what to do when you first see it. Rather, you're supposed to come in the "wrong" way, from eastern Crateria, which leads you through a bunch of rooms that result in you seeing a broken tube first (the room with the crabs).

Lufia 2 was on my list of stuff to play. I'd lost the saves to it, but now i'm back up to Parcelyte.

I know I'm not supposed to double-post, but I beat Gades at the Gordovan West Tower. Did it last night and I'm still on a high from that.

For those of you who don't know, in Lufia 2, the second first time you meet one of the set of four major antagonists in the game, he wipes the floor with your party. It's an unwinnable boss fight.

...unless you prepare well enough for it, with some combination of grinding and strategy. Then you can take him on and actually beat him down.

Either you outspeed him and have one dedicated healer, or you don't outspeed him and have two dedicated healers. My strategy was to have two dedicated healers and take my time to buff my attacking characters' attack power and debuff his attack and defense, and keep this up. Fortunately, the game has something called "IP" that is basically like a rage meter, which you fill by taking damage (which you will take lots of) and discharge by using skills attached to your equipment -- and some of those skills are full-party healing skills.

More elaboration:

Possible spoilers: highlight to view

Maxim had Cold Rapier (3x ice damage IP) and something else with the Menace (reduces enemy attack power). Guy had Fire Dagger (3x fire damage IP), Horse Rock (2x nonelemental damage), something that has Weakpoint (reduces enemy defense), and something that has Bravery (raises party defense). Tia had the Angel Wings (with Holy Healing, which is a mass-heal whole party 75% of wearer's HP), and Selan had the Mind Ring (casts Stronger, the second-order healing spell that's otherwise unavailable) and something that casts Battle Lust (raises attack power). Starting levels: all 30 except Selan at 27. Since I'm not outspeeding Gades, I have to cast healing first. Each turn, either one of these happens: Tia uses Holy Healing (heals ~110 HP), or Tia uses Strong (heals ~38 HP) and Selan casts Stronger (heals ~68 HP). Maxim and Guy start by debuffing the boss and sometimes using Bravery to buff the party. When Selan has a chance she uses Battle Lust to buff Guy first (since he has a higher attack power) and then Maxim. I have them start attacking otherwise. When these are maxed out and after sufficiently debuffing the boss (buffs and debuffs gradually decrease the more you do so you know when it gets down to the single digits), I start having Guy and Maxim using their attack IPs. Gades's really strong attacks have the benefit of refilling IP bars quickly, meaning that I can pull off these insane healing moves every other turn or so, and that's really the only saving grace about fighting him. The battle is long and is about becoming able to sustainably survive his attacks (and to be honest, once you can sustainably survive them, you don't need to debuff his attack any more), and once you can do this you can focus all other efforts on attacking him indefinitely. He gives out some 50,000 XP, so I ended up at Maxim 32, Guy 31, Tia 32, Selan 29 afterwards...along with a sweet sword.

If you beat him, you win his sword as a prize for your efforts. It's a darn good sword with a darn good IP that lets you attack things eight times in a row.

But of course, he then beats you down in a cutscene instead and the plot proceeds as scheduled.

I'm still on my completing-things-I-was-half-done-with kick, so now I've finished up the DLC for Bioshock Infinite (grim stuff, that) and the main plot from GTA V (hilariously grim stuff, that). I've still got some open-world kind of stuff that I'd like to do in GTA, so I'll likely be playing that more in the near future.

Tiddles and I were kicking around the idea of streaming a game soonish, too. Something old and NES-y and co-op, since DP is too busy these days to continue our FFT streams.

Playing the Original Tomb Raider and the new Tomb Raider. While the new one is good... It just isn't Tomb Raider to me. The original has aged very well for a mid-90's game and I'm having a lot of fun with it... More fun than with the new game, go figure.

Also playing. Pokemon X/Y, gearing up for Sun/Moon. I'm getting Moon. I didn't care for Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire.

@ TrueBOSS: I also pick up Xenoverse every once in a while but I have been stuck on the Whis/Beerus fight in the main storyline for like, months. This game is FKN hard. And it becomes waaaaay too grindy in the late game.

I agree. I've noticed that skills are starting to take more and more grinding to get to drop and the experience required to get the next level gets insane around 70. (They did a double xp weekend about a week ago. Man I wish I would have used that to get to 99.
Oh well. Still enjoying the game.

Almost done with F.E.A.R.. We are trying to make so our finally occurs Halloween night. We don't have a huge following but it has been fun trying to beat the game in a month.

FINALLY got a solar eclipse on Terraria. Managed to get 2 of the 3 broken hero swords I wanted..... So now I need another eclipse for one sword. oh well. Spent about 3 or 4 hours converting a sky island into my castle. Turned out pretty well but I'm not done with it.

Does Terraria have teleporters these days?

Yes. It does. They're super helpful. My teleporters played a vital role in my killing of the dungeon guardian and I used them to create a mob farm in the dungeon so I could get a nazar for my ankh charm and farm ectoplasm later. Terraria doesn't have any of the lunar stuff yet so the "final boss" isn't on the game. However, we do have fishing, which isn't too bad of a distraction if you read up on how the catch rates work. I actually have a little fun doing the daily fishing quest for the angler now.

Started up Thief Deadly Shadows for the who-knows-how-many-time and booooy howdy, was it an adventure...getting it to run widescreen. God, why do I do this to myself?



So none of old saves work, but that was the least of my issues. I'm now using a 16:9 monitor that the game options don't recognize and since it's the Steam version, it caused a bug while installing the John P texture mod that is pretty much a requirement if you don't want to look like your watching the game through a lens smeared with vaseline. In the end, I found a full on installer mod that has tweaking options and just a pile of stuph that I was able to use that fixed er'thang right up...but man what a hassle on the way there...

Goddamn, does this game still look good for how old it is. I mean, yeah the texture mod, but it's not anything more than a high resolution pack of the textures in the game and even then, the lighting is just...I mean christ this game just breathes atmosphere and tension like no one's business! And while I'll never not have respect for its sound design, I forgot how good its music is. This is ambient music done propah son! I've only just finished the first level, but I can't wait to get back into this game for the third or forth time. Why did I ever stop playing?



Oh...

yeah...

I got that game ages ago for free from xbox 360 live when it was download of hte month.Never beat it though.Fun but i dunno i got bored with it.

Playing skyrim special edition since its free for anyone who bought the legendary version of sky such as myself.It has built in mods you can donwload but you have to log into the site first and download.There aren't very many mods, but a few are cool.

On my old computer the game stutters a bit.Not sure why it does it but it does.I think there might be slight difference in hair textures, but maybe im wrong.

It is slightly easier to actually press alt+tab without causing the game to crash in windowed mode and it isn't that window mode that is only half your screen.alt tab on full screen is buggy and could cause your game to crash though.

I wonder if the GOG version is fixed up. I know they fixed up the first Thief game.
