Clear #49 - Magical Chase

IMG

Another dang good but lamentably overpriced game.

The Good: bouncy tunes, colorful backgrounds and enemies, lots of neat graphical tricks not seen in most games, a good variety of weapons to try, and it's cute as hell.

The Bad: it's rather short, and skilled shewty players will find it too easy.

The Ugly: the price!!!

Its music isn't bad (way better than that in Ys III), it's just that it's not all that great even when compared to just SNES tunes.  Ys should be second to no one!



Clear #48 - Dynastic Hero

IMG

'Tis a fun action rpg platformer (or however you want to classify it), it's just too bad that the US version is so pricey.

The Good: jaunty tunes, colorful backgrounds, nice variety of enemies and big bosses, little helper friends, and it's cuter than a bug's ear (bad pun intended).

The Bad: the title screen song is awfully cheesy, the backgrounds are too flat and would benefit greatly from some simple line scrolls, the little helpers wander off and have to be retrieved every time you stay at an inn, and it's sometimes hard to figure out where you're supposed to be going.

The Ugly: it's probably not a big deal if you're more coordinated than me, but there's a platform jumping room near the end that makes me want to punch a dolphin.

Tangential Clear #47a - Ys IV: Mask of the Sun

IMG

It wasn't horrible, but it pales in comparison to the Dawn of Ys.  The meh tunes, lack of cut scenes and character portraits, and the smaller, less varied, and often drab environments can be somewhat excused by the cart size limitations, but there's no good reason for the gimped battle system.  It's the familiar bump attack again, but this time a straight on collision means the enemy will take little to no damage and poor Adol gets his ass kicked; even worse is that the enemies are very good at adjusting their path to line up perfectly, and the touchy control make it difficult to nudge Adol off center at the last minute making you miss entirely.
#218
Like este, I bought stuff off their mailed flyers; about twice a year, when they'd do their BOGO sales, I'd buy a half dozen games or so.  Also like este, I bought far too many meh games when I should've been buying more rarez.  Damn hindsight.


Quote from: NightWolve on 05/09/2015, 10:53 AMNice blast from the past. Yeah, I bought a few things from the TZD flyers and over the phone BITD pre-Internet.

Here was one of those items. ^_^

Clear #47 - Ys IV

IMG

More Falcom awesomeness.  I played through the fully translated version, which is very well done and more professional than many 'real' games from back in the day (no cheesy jokes or horribad voice acting).

The Good: sweet cinemas and lovely character portraits; nicely tweaked visuals that feel very much like those in Ys I & II but with more detail and colors; good tunes; revisiting friends and locales from the first game; well varied cast of baddies and bosses to beat down; and the developers room at the end, which really shows how much they cared about the game.

The Bad: the jazzy tunes aren't really bad, but they're not as rockin' as the those in the last two outings; I don't know if it's from recording too loud, the limits of adpcm, or what, but some of the voice work is clipped; and the fire floor trap is for the birds (c'mon, Dogi, keep the fuck up!).

The Ugly: NA

I got this pile of PC-FX goodies last Friday.  The bulk of it came from eBay for $511 shipped, with the BMP as a surprise bonus not mentioned in the auction description, and the duplicate copies of Ah! My Goddess and Voice Paradise were bought from xele before I knew about the big lot.

IMG

Jewel cases from left to right: Last Imperial Prince, Ah! My Goddess, Zoku Hatukoi Monogatari, Blue Breaker, Classmates 2, Zeroigar, Ruruli Ra Rura, Welcome to Pia Carrot, Megami Paradise II, Chip Chan Kick!, and Ah! My Goddess.
Clamshells from top to bottom: Voice Paradise, Battle Heat, Yuna FX, JB Harold - Blue Chicago Blues, Der Langrisser FX, Return to Zork, Voice Paradise, and Zenki.

Clear #46 - Ys III

IMG

It's not as good as Ys I & II and I prefer overhead gameplay to this one's side view, but it's still thoroughly enjoyable and a must have in every collection.

The Good: good voice work (not as good as Ys I & II but way better than stuff like Final Zone II), fantastic music, fast paced action, and cool environments (I particularly like the clock tower).

The Bad: it's rather short, some of Elena's lines are rather trite and silly (Demanicus is person too!), and the choppy scrolling isn't very attractive.

The Ugly: NA

Quote from: Nulltard on 03/02/2015, 07:44 PMNothing personal (because I don't want to get shot), but aren't you the guy who was threatening to bust caps in people not so long ago over something insignificant enough for me to not remember the exact reason?
He asked for help in finding an iso of Mysterious Song, then went nuts when people gave him "attitude".

Clear #45 - Ys Book I & II

IMG

This one never gets old and is easily one of the best games of all time.

The Good: great storyline, interesting group of characters to meet, sweet tunes, talented voice work, good variety of environments to explore and items to use, and I even like the battle system.

The Bad: they're minor complaints, but the only things I dislike are the goofy background scrolling in the bell tower and that some of the voice work is a bit muffled.

The Ugly: NA

Did he edit this gem?  If so, 'tis a good thing the skating gig worked out.

Clear #44 - Ane-san

IMG

I prefer Riot Zone (especially the tunes), but this one ain't all bad.  Give it a go some time.

The Good: some nice backgrounds, okay cinemas, one good tune, a couple little mini-games, and good replayability with different characters to try and different things to unlock and shit to buy (all women love to shop!).

The Bad: some not so nice backgrounds, there's not much variety in enemies, most of the tunes are pretty bleh, and it's super easy.

The Ugly: most of the girls

The pachinko controller is bigger than I'd expected, and now I know what the yellow flipper thingy is for: you rotate it clockwise to increase ball speed, and it's spring loaded to return to zero.

Nope.  Another hint: it's an RPG.

By the way, I'm surprised nobody said Splash Lake.  When I see ostrich, I think Splash Lake.... even if the art style doesn't match.

Quote from: MrFulci on 12/26/2014, 01:46 PMI asked, but did not adhere to the normal PCEFX rules of this, so, I almost followed the rules of this.... only I was not-so-secret, and cheaper, and not so random.

Interesting to see how others handle this, each year, though!
Uh, what?
