Even FFX-2 was better at this shit!
Ninja99 said:Cissnei is lovely. I hope she appears in future projects. The fact that she never got to tell Zack her real name is a small sadness within the overarching tragedy of his story: one of Crisis Core's many small details which, together, make the difference between a good game and a great game.
Ferrio said:There's speculation earlier in this thread that she's the Avalanche member Jessie who dies in the beginning on FF7. Which would make sense why we don't see her as a turk in FF7.
spindoc said:Well if it does turn out to be the case, it'll be a little strange and tacked on. Added that it'll also be pretty dismissive to kill her off so early in the plot now that she's been introduced as a formal character. Kept hoping that we would see her in a CG scene at the end of CC (when the Turks are looking for Zack and Cloud)
I'm all for expressing negative opinions as long as they foster constructive discussion.
...how irritating you're coming across to the actual fans who are trying to enjoy this.
zoukka said:Why should them, when the official threads are 99,99 percent consisted of messages "awesome", "GOTY" and "SHIIIIIIIIIIIIITTTT!"
Nobody bitches about them, so why the hate when somebody doesn't like the game? I mean I for one really want to hear all the negative opinions too. Most of the time, they in fact are the ones that tell you something coherrent about the game.

Ninja99 said:As I said, negative opinions are not a problem if they add to the discussion. Insipid comments like the examples you gave do not contribute anything of value, true, but they are easy to ignore. When someone takes the time to type up multiple message filled with nothing but angry complaints, and disregards every opportunity to pursue other lines of discourse, that's what I consider disruptive.
zoukka said:Nobody likes that, but weren't Amirox:s complaints legit? I have not played the game, but Chains of Olympus was a good example of Hype gone overboard. Tens of pages of nothing but praise and the game was really just a devolved cash in.
But yeah I'm outta here until I get my copy which btw only just today went to "shipping" in cduniverse. Pretty slow.
Defuser said:Ami,you let you bias get the better of you that you forget that this is a PSP therefore Crisis Core is a portable game which means those side missions are in bite size and allows to you have a quick playing when you're outside.
Main story which you can play at home.
Side missions which you can play outside.
Perfect combo.
Ninja99 said:I'm with Alex, incidentally. The way Amir0x keeps popping in at random moments to trash this game is getting extremely fucking old. I'm all for expressing negative opinions as long as they foster constructive discussion. However, withering blasts of corrosive bile clearly do not fit in that category. So here's a suggestion, Amir0x: take a hammer and your copy of Crisis Core outside, place the UMD on the pavement, then take out all of your aggression on it. Go ahead. Smash that bastard into twenty thousand pieces. Piss on it for good measure if that will make you feel vindicated. Afterward, go back inside, crack open a delicious carbonated beverage and play a game you do enjoy. I think that sounds a lot more appealing than the masochism you're currently subjecting yourself to (and inflicting on all of GAF with your caustic entries).

Amir0x said:My criticism is that every mission consists of a series of fucking featureless corridors or deserts or jungles and five or six boring busywork enemies. In other words, they're lame, unimaginative and completely fucking tedious. That's totally aside from their "handheld bitesize nature", which I applaud. That's smart. What's not smart is that those "chunks" of gameplay are not fun to play at all. EVER.

ManaByte said:Seriously, how long does something have to be out until it doesn't need spoiler tags? FFVII came out nearly ELEVEN years ago now. Why are people spoiler tagging FFVII events/deaths?
Amir0x said:And I can address a wide criticism briefly: I think it goes to show just how much validity my viewpoints have if the biggest thing anyone can think to engage me in is a semantical argument about whether or not the battles in this game can classify as "random." Well, you can call them "proximity-based" whatever the fuck, but when I run around I don't see the enemies and what enemies pop up are decided at random and so at best, it's a fucking hybrid.
No shit it's a handheld. There's tons of well designed games for handhelds. The SIZE of those "missions" are perfect for a handheld. That's not my criticism, though. My criticism is that every mission consists of a series of fucking featureless corridors or deserts or jungles and five or six boring busywork enemies. In other words, they're lame, unimaginative and completely fucking tedious. That's totally aside from their "handheld bitesize nature", which I applaud. That's smart.

More directly, I only have 16 posts out of 1378 in this thread (including this one) - and the only reason I'm returning is to respond to posts like these. So if you guys didn't start crying the second anyone tossed an egg at your sacred cow, you'd probably have half of even that.
But, unlike actual trolls, I will sit and defend my extremely well founded opinions over and over again because that's what people do who AREN'T trolls. But, as I said at the start of this post, there's no need for me to justify it. 'Cause if I'm so inclined, i continue my criticism. As long as I back it up, that's part of the discussion.
Seriously, how long does something have to be out until it doesn't need spoiler tags? FFVII came out nearly ELEVEN years ago now. Why are people spoiler tagging FFVII events/deaths?

Kestastrophe said:Does anyone know if the Vitality stat does anything (I realize that it is supposed to decrease physical damage)? I have HP is maxed out and my vitality is 150+ and I still get tore up pretty quick on Missions that are supposed to be "Easy".
Ferrio said:Dodge!
Kestastrophe said:I get that part of it, but what is the point of increasing the Vitality stat if it really doesn't allow you to take more hits?
Ferrio said:There's speculation earlier in this thread that she's the Avalanche member Jessie who dies in the beginning on FF7. Which would make sense why we don't see her as a turk in FF7.
Ferrio said:It should allow you to take more hits... i mean.... zuh? What? Are you saying the game lies?
Kestastrophe said:No, but I was expecting to be much more of a "tank" with my vitality stat so high. My 9999HP are reduced to almost nothing in just a few hits on easy missions

Master a HP+ to +100% HP, then fuse it with a weak one and some Fat Chocobo Feathers.Jugendstil said:I'm sort of having the same issue. I'm at 32% with the missions, and all of the sudden enemies are knocking off huge amounts of HP in certain missions, regardless of difficulty. I probably have to spend some time making new materia, but the materia fusion system is a pain IMO, especially since some of the stats the game provides are kind of vague. I don't want to have to reference a FAQ for every fusion.
I'm getting kind of annoyed with the game right now. I'm going to cool it with missions and just push through and beat the story.
