#21024 Dear shirtless hippie with mandals riding a skateboard,

He does the whole skater stance thing where the arms are near enough shoulder level, so yeah. It's like a pair of unkempt vaginas >_> Oh, and shorts that are too big for him, so saggage.

#20766 Tales of Graces F

Posted by Bowsette on 14 September 2012 - 07:31 PM

This is my first Tales game in some time. I have Tales of the Abyss 3D, but aside from that I haven't played any since Eternia/The World. The gameplay never really changes all that much, but they've kind of both added and taken away from the freedom of combat in Graces. You have more control over your attacks as you have two types of Artes, A-Artes and B-Artes. A-Artes are basically normal attacks, and you can influence them with directional movements. B-Artes are the more powerful skills, but they cost more CC to use. Luckily it recovers fast.

They've totally gotten rid of MP/mana/SP/whatever else it gets called in favour of CC. Basically all your attacks, both regular and Artes, cost a set amount, as does dodging and I think blocking. It recovers on its own, but you can make it recover faster by dodging at the right times, staggering your opponents etc.

Main character is the same as every Tales game except Vesperia. That is to say, he's a whiny little cockrot who whines because he's too weak to ______ and as a result isn't fit to be _______ (Fill in the blanks with your favourite RPG clichés)

They've added a lot of combat depth with Titles. Your actions in and out of battle earn you Titles for each character. These titles have a series of 5 skills which require skill points (basically exp for your skills) to learn. These skills can range from attacks to stat boosts, to unlocking hidden costumes. They also have a stat boost that is only active when that title is equipped. The rest of the skills stay with you once learned.

Another deep aspect of the game is the crafting system. I don't remember any of the other games in the series having this, though it's called "Dualizing" (assumedly because you merge 2 items to make 1). You can do this to regular monster drops to make attack items, heal items, etc. and also items whose sole use is to be sold. It costs a small amount of gald to craft, but you can generally make it back by selling the finished product. You can also craft shards into your weapons/armour, and then craft your armours/weapons together. I'm not completely sure how this works, but you get a gem out of it and you don't lose your equips.

Yeah but America is a much more diverse country. You'd think that if you live in ENGLAND you'd be able to speak ENGLISH. Bleh. I mean, I'm not a racist/purist, but I think if you're going to live somewhere, you shouldn't just go there and then start picking up a phrase or two.

I mean, the job is for dealing with people. I have a basic English accent and some people struggle to understand me, so how hard will it be when they're dealing with a sales advisor who speaks in broken, backwards English, such as "I here for cleaning the job"?

Raaaaaage

I've gotta be honest, $25 for a text-based game is kinda excessive imo.


#18990 People? Eww!

I only really socialize when drunk. It makes things so much easier.

Though I took my god-daughter to the park with her mom yesterday, that was fun.

I use it occasionally. Then I look at all the messages from creepy Turkish people and remember why I don't use it.

I thought that was VampireFreaks.

I visualize ways of killing the customers who piss me off. And if I have time, how to dispose of the body.

Care workers who suck at their job.

Now I'm going to seem like a total bitch, but idc. There's this guy who comes into where I work daily, guy called Antony. He's uh..."special". And his chaperone/carer does NOTHING, even when he's poking around touching the tills or trying to open a beer he hasn't paid for because he "wants to try it" and I'm sick of it. If you have the mind of a child you should be treated like a child, and when a child does something wrong you TELL THEM THE FUCK OFF. I don't give a shit if he's disabled, there's a line based on what's acceptable, and letting someone run riot solely because they're "special" is bullshit.

Fuck people
