3D DOT GAME HEROES |OT|! Once upon a time in 8-bit....

ULTROS!

ULTROS!

People seem to like me because I am polite and I am rarely late. I like to eat ice cream and I really enjoy a nice pair of slacks.
Lol at poofpoof.

Anyway how difficult is it to (very minor spoiler)
"beastiarize" the bosses? I beastiarezed the 3rd boss but couldn't beastiarize the first boss

Okay, how the hell am I supposed to beat the (4th dungeon boss)
Kraken
? I've hit this thing like 80 times and it still won't go down.

So I picked this up yesterday due to the comments in this thread. What got me was; "ZOMG!! Only $40!!!" and "Oh noes!! This game will be teh rarez! Get it now or forever hold your peace!!"

Sure enough, there was only one copy tucked between some other games when I picked mine up.

The game is cool. I like it. Kinda brings me back, in a strange way. Music is nice. Graphics are nice. I casually played the first dungeon, got stuck when I couldn't either find a way to hit the switch, move the blocks, or find the second key.

I can't wait to mess around with the character editor.

after fourth dungeon and doing various stuff in world and this is game is so good. Probably the second GOTY quality game this year after Mass Effect 2 for me.

At the second boss right now and seriously I feel like a kid again. This game is just brilliant, even if the game is really 20+ years old.

I really hope this game sells like Demon's Souls did in the US, if not more. Such a great game.

Edit: How do you book a monster?

All these great impressions are making me want to give this game a try. I just got Lost Planet 2 and next week is Red Dead and Alan Wake for me so i'm gonna have to be patient. But damn you guys are making it hard. :p

Hit it with the bestiary. A lot. Around 80-90 times for the first boss.

It's an Atlus game, so who knows how rare it'll be. You can get Red Dead or Alan Wake any time after release. Don't wait!

I was able to do it to the first boss without realizing it. 2nd boss came up with a little strategy and did it in less than 20 seconds.

As for Dr. Dic.

Someone mentioned he might be a reference to Megman.
Dic is Cid backwards as well. :shrug:

Who knows though.

Atlus games don't really have all that small print runs anymore. I can't think of anything they've released in quite a while that has had any remotely decent level of marketing that turned out rare. The last one I can really think of was Persona 3, but that was mainly because they were gearing up to release FES.

The only thing is, this game has been shown to be sold out already, 3 days in. Seems like a small print run.

And if you want a challenge, use a fish for a sword. Starts out normal size and as strong as the claymore.

Well, they may still have print runs smaller than the demand. I heard Demon's Souls was pretty hard to find for some since it well exceeded expectations (which we found out later). They then shipped out more copies as soon as they could.

Had a little time to rework/perfect him at work before running home (in about 20 minutes) to make him. Also went ahead and mapped out the side view.

BEHOLD MY SCHOLAR, MAXWELL (again)

No luck today at Best Buy, both Gamestops, or Wally World. But I finally found one lone copy at Hastings and snatched it. Thank God. I really should consider Amazon for games like this. I hate running around and hunting.

Literally one click away of getting (technically pre-ordering but whatever) this.

How long is it for the first playthrough?

I'm still waiting on my copy, so I can't be sure, but from what I've heard it's about 10-15 hours without sidequests. 15-25 with.

Hmm, I was hoping for some WW/TP level of scope here, but I guess that's about in line with the earlier Zelda games this is an homage to. :)


If I get this I totally want to play with the original or LttP Link as my character. :D

Picked this up this morning and have played through the first dungeon, it's an absolute blast.
I went with the Gorilla for my character but am definitely going to download some of the cooler ones I see.

Can't seem to progress beyond the title screen / demo mode. :lol

You either got another controller plugged in, or your controller is dead.

Tried that. Just figured it out.
Apparently if you have an arcade stick plugged in, that defaults to controller #1 upon boot up. My Dual Shock 3, then, was defaulting to controller #2, and this game doesn't like that very much. Annoying. Didn't have this problem with Nier.
