lol for once OP is right, only you liked this shit

>>717556190 (OP)
I liked the sequel, but that's about it.

Image Epoch... My beloved...

>>717556190 (OP)
I liked Crystar. The secret to enjoying it was running past all the enemies and only fighting the minibosses. Nanana was my favorite character

>>717558643
Image Epoch fucking sucked, turns out they were a shady tax evasion/money laundering/yakuza operation and got shut down, good fucking riddance. They deserve to be forgotten. All of their output was uninspired trash.

The relationship between a man and his strange JRPGs no one else cares about is a special thing.

Too hardcore for you filthy casual bitches who've never beaten a Wizardry.

>>717556190 (OP)
If I pretend to forget what the gameplay was like and that the game was 15 hours shorter then sure, you could say I liked it.

I did genuinely like Crymachina, hope they make a third game.

>>717561550
This one is a rollercoaster of mid and kino. The story is structured in a way where nothing happens and they all just chase a mcguffin, and you have to do character episodes to learn anything about anyone. But some of the characters are awesome and super memorable. Like Stork, Wicked, and Shogo. And the bad ending is pure kino.

>>717558643
I actually love Fate/Extra, my favorite game on the PSP.

>>717561550
This and 2 were on sale recently, I wasn't sure what they were about so I went to look at their wikis, and nope'd the fuck out after reading the premise of Caligula 2

The cat girl was pure sex

>>717556190 (OP)
I bought this too. It was okay. Replaying maps hoping to get that one monster to spawn for the achievements was awful, that's about it.

>>717561550
Not so fast
I really fucking loved these games. I think I like 2 a bit more as just a more put together game, but 1 is worth it too, more ambitious writing wise.

>>717561850
The bad ending or siding with the bad guys in 1 is one of the coolest things I've seen in a jrpg.

>>717556190 (OP)
I liked that game though. Reminder that she did nothing wrong.

The artist for the cry games was involved in a recently released strategy game. It's a bit simple but I'm enjoying it so far.

>>717565224
Well, what is it called

>>717561550
>>717564383
I still find it funny that in the True Good ending, your buddies never find out that you were secret larping as bad guy the entire time.

>>717565224
Riuichi did crystar
Rolua did crymachina
Get your facts right.

i loved it though

>>717565876
S-sorry. They do have a rather similar style.

>>717565876
Looks cute, I will buy it

>>717565224
Oh fuck it's already out?! Been eyeing this one for a while because of the artist.

>>717558414
Everytime I'm attracted to their low budget slop even though I know it won't be good. Time to get ready for more mid-kino.

>>717561550
I could not stomach 1 even though the music is great. 2 was a huge step up though. I recommend 2 even if you didn't like 1.

>>717556190 (OP)
The only reason I know this game even exists is because Sakuzyo composed the soundtrack, which is pretty good. Never played the actual game myself, though. Is it any good?

Posting some tracks I like.

I never saw the Crystar artist's work before but for rolua's personally i'd like to pretend it's like the unhinged version of raita bizarre shit.

>>717565224
Great villainess is great, I played it for 15 hours on release week. Only problem is I kinda got stuck on the final battle.

>>717561550
Loved the first one, first tranny I don't hate guts in the end... Also it was funny to be able to call the single mother a whore.

>>717566405
Rude.

>>717566038
I’m cautiously excited for Varlet due to its connection to Monark. I love that game a lot. A little too much. So I want this to give me a similar experience.

I thought it was pretty good.

>>717566654
Haven't played monark. Anything that makes it good?

I want more sufferkino.

I like the combat in Reynatis.

>>717566654
Monark was great. Just breaking the game in half with effectively permanent enlightenment was surprisingly enjoyable.

>>717556190 (OP)
Joke's on you, I like that game too. Sakuzyo's back must have hurt like hell from singlehandedly carrying the game with his soundtrack.

>>717558414
I do appreciate them. Some of the only people putting out experimental low budget JRPGs. That are translated, anyway, no idea how it's going in nippon.
The Caligula games are good but I didn't even LIKE Crystar or Monark much yet I still keep tabs. Have a few of their other games sitting around for one day™

>>717566902
The story, art direction, and music just pressed my buttons in a special way. Without devolving into an essay post, the game’s philosophy about nihilism and egotism is explored really well, the characters all have strong arcs with good payoff, and the plot has a lot of elegantly executed foreshadowing and details strewn throughout, especially if you’re reading all the notes scattered around that provide more lore. And Lancarse did a pretty good job with the SRPG gameplay, but I’ll admit the best part is the story, not unlike most Furyus. But it’s also more polished than their average affair, and has neat mechanics like the Madness gauge that works like a weird, backwards MP bar.

>>717566984
Intend to get that one soon. How is it?

>>717566919
;_;

>>717566984
A bit too easy, but the mechanic where you switch your power on and off is neat. It’s like a weird PS2 game.

>>717567773
More like how BAD is it. Everything but the combat is dogshit. You can skip the combat entirely using DLC items.

>>717566984
I hate that NISA ends up publishing all these games. They never ever have a decent discount on them. That game goes on sale along with Monark for like 15 percent off at most. It's retarded. Those games should hit bargain bin prices after a few months.

>>717561550
Bullshit, my friend. Caligula Effect Overdose is the best modern JRPG there is. Hands down.
The sequel is okay, okay.

You know a game is great when it's full of cute girls but your favorite charcter is one of the male villains. Stork is a fucking chad.

>>717568186
Even worse when the physical copies become expensive collectors items because NISA prints their games like it’s 2012 and only like ten people are buying them. Even these niche games need a few more copies floating around.

>>717564373
One of the billion tiger variations, right? I remember that.

>>717556190 (OP)
>>717561550
loved these two

for me, it's Harvestella, pure ludokino of the highest caliber

>>717568294
I’ve yet to meet a single soul that dislikes Stork. He’s just that guy.

>>717568570
I adore Shizuku. There’s something special about her to me. And then the DLC crushed my heart, and made me a bit mad. I just pretend like her route is the real ending.

>>717568570
This game will forever be my gateway to Falcom autism

I loved Mephis and Pheles, god I wanted to their slave

>>717566919
How does one hang without feeling horrific neck pain?

>>717556190 (OP)
Crystar is one of my favourite games, try again

>>717561550
This was absolute kino, great storytelling.
2 was a huge letdown.

>>717569034
Doesn't proper hanging kill you instantly

>>717569034
After the artery is sufficiently closed tight you just pass out even if you dont fall, if the drop is botched though thats probably when you'd also be suffering some horrible neck pains.

>>717569085

He's so very relatable and sincere.

>>717556190 (OP)
I got 2, actually.
>>717558643
Where the fuck is that remake?

>>717570419
I want to play T&E someday but I'm not really willing to spend the money on a certified kusoge

>>717570419
I never got past the tutorial of left alive and i hate myself for it. I should go back and try to complete it.

>>717558643
i literally dont care if its glorified rock paper scissors, extra and ccc are kino and somehow make gameplay like that fun imo

>>717570419
>Left Alive
I was really excited for that game and gave it my best try but I just couldn't get into it
It was slow and frustrating and I didn't care about any of the characters or events in the game

>>717570419
The first thing I thought of when playing Expedition 33 was Time and Eternity.

>>717568837
Shizuku was and always will be best girl.

>>717565876
Please tell me that the protagonist of this doesn't die horribly in the end like the last game WSS released.
I'm still fuming that she crashed the fucking satellite to kill skynet.

>>717566038
Excited that Aquria are still producing stuff, but I wish the turn-based nature would allow them to have more refined style and animations on a level better than Lycoris and LR.

oh no, a kill everyone run is going to be impossible for me now
her counter is her throwing a goddamn stick at you for zero damage!

>>717556190 (OP)
Easy one

>>717572389
I find it extremely funny if they did that desu since the prologue explicitly says both can't die until they getting a happy end or something.
But no they don't do that.

>>717556190 (OP)
I think I'm literally the only person who played this one

>>717572861
>race is on the verge of extinction
>bothering to engage in courtship rituals instead of just breeding

>>717572930
Also game sucks. As you can tell I got brain damage after playing.

>>717573009
I played it, but I didn't like it.

>>717573183
I liked it but it's unarguably extremely jank

>>717572861
I played that one because the same guy who worked on pic worked on it

>>717572861
Hell yeah brother
The gameplay was very okay but I love the art and the writing was fun. Gave it a good couple playthroughs

>>717573213
>Played this recently
>Stopped because i don't know where the fucking dragon ore is

>>717556190 (OP)
is it on shiteam?

>>717573329
You realize you could find that out in literally five seconds instead of asking here and waiting like some fucking retard?

>>717573364
zoomers literally don't know how to google, it's grim as fuck

>>717573364
>>717573557
what if i checked it and just wanted to post it anyway to stir a cauldron? and it worked
you will never be 4chan and old

>>717573606
and you will never be white and not retarded

>>717573678
i accept your concession, mr.projectingtard

Can you two get a room?

>>717560249

Based, Crymachina is a game to love and cherish, not to have fun

>>717558643
Still waiting for the remake

>>717573269
>Killizerk
Is her last name darkedge or something?

>>717566693
God I hate the ending on this one

>>717568570
I really enjoyed playing this game

>>717568570
The first one, Hellbound and Debriefed is harder due to its older mechanics. It sure made me miss Undead and Undressed faster and simplier mechanics.

>>717568837
>And then the DLC crushed my heart, and made me a bit mad.
Oof. I like Kati but the DLC sure treated Shizuku dirty. Almost like how you'll treat Rui on NIRO route in H&D

Who is the writer for Crystar, Crymachina, Caligula, ect? Is there a list of all his games somewhere? I'm getting lost from all the weird game mentions ITT.

>>717577276
>crymachina
iirc the director is also the writer they also got help from clannad's writer to give some idea, been a while since i read about stuff around the game so i might mix things up but as far as i'm aware the two "Cry" game doesn't have any relation at all.

>>717577276
I know that Takuya Yamanaka was the main writer for Caligula 1 & 2, with Satomi Tadashi being brought in to assist with some parts like world building and characters but only for 1.
Caligula as a series is basically the brain child of Takuya, so since he is apparently busy with Milgram, I doubt CE3 will be happening anytime soon.

no need, you're 200% correct

>>717580082
i named my Caligula girl and many others after her

>>717556190 (OP)
I liked this too OP. Actually enjoyed it more than Crymachina, though to be fair I liked the characters much more quickly in Crystar.

>>717556190 (OP)
I liked it too. it's pure kino and only retards hated it.

Spirit Camera on 3DS. It was my first Fatal Frame game and it led me to buy the PS2 trilogy pretty much right before it became impractical to do so. It has since become my favorite series.

>>717560249
But do you like it as much as I do?
