Quote from: shubibiman on 05/19/2013, 07:56 AMCleared Formation Armed F today

Hell yes! That wasn't an easy game for me to beat, there are patterns to some bosses (the last boss, especially, a computer chip?) and I kept dying. I just choked. IT WAS SAD. I don't know why I kept choking, but I did. IT WAS SAD. To spend 99% of time+energy to get to a point and just HAVE NO PLAN WHATSOEVER. This was the moment I realized that my skillz were deteriorating, or, more accurately, I don't have enough time to play everything.

With a bit more love and finishing touches, this game could have been something a bit more unique. As it stands, it is pretty damn generic. I still enjoyed playing it, frustration and all.

DID YOU EXPERIENCE LE PAIN? OR LE PLEASURE?

shubibiman · 05/19/2013, 08:26 AM

Bosses are quite easy in this game, compared to some points in certain levels that are difficult to figure out. The most difficult bosses are the one of level 6 and, of course, the last one, for which I found a pretty efficient plan.

I mostly experienced le pain but I enjoyed the game though, which is not as bad as I previously thought. Some color choices are strange.

Color choices! Yes, there were some really garish, jarring colors in the game. Seemingly simple things like this (color palette) separate the crude from the sophisticated.

OK, I'll stop rambling about Armed Formation F—I was just happy someone else here played the damn game.

Exactly. Some backgrounds could have looked great without that flaw.

Really? How did you beat the last boss? I'm completely stymied on beating him.

shubibiman · 07/11/2013, 03:37 PM

And now I just cleared the CD version. Not much difference except for some cinemas and minor changes in the backgrounds.

Popful Mail - 13 hours

...so, how did you like it? At least give us a mini-review or something.

gbapalyer · 07/15/2013, 03:44 AM

popful mail was awesome. nice graphics, nice gameplay, cool anime videos and a nice ost.
not too hard but not too easy, only some bosses were hard. very funny to play and gameplay mechanics are not too difficult to understand.
fighting is ys-style bump into enemies. it is possible to switch between 3 characters anytime in the game (the characters are: mail, female swordsfighter; tatto: magician, gaw: dragon).

i would rate it 8.0/10.0

i can give you all the advice: dont let the language barrier hinder you from playing japanese rpgs. they are pretty much fun.

yeah, i was surprised too.
Exile 1 is a good game, but Exile 2 is crap.

It's some thing you will able to clear it.When i bought the game years ago i was put off by the fact it plays like Ys.I guess it came down to the fact that i was spoiled by the sega-cd version,which i consider the definite version.Maybe i need to rethink that and 'try again to play the pce version all the way through.

gbapalyer · 07/30/2013, 07:23 AM

@TRON: just try it again, its a great game. but Auleria is equally great. ;)

my next and last (for now) game to complete will be:

Legend of Xanadu I

iam already in chapter 3 but iam kinda stuck...will try again and complete that beast for sure.
then i will see if i can find some other nice rpgs in japan in august. ;)

Are you out of PC Engine RPGs?

You should register at PCE Daisakusen! and check off all of the games you've completed. I know it has been a lot.

gbapalyer · 08/01/2013, 05:38 AM

Bardoly · 08/04/2013, 12:59 AM

Nice list of completes!

This makes me wonder just how many PC Engine RPGs there are, and if you're planning on beating them all.

I see that the ones you've beaten are only PC Engine releases. Do you also play any of the TurboGrafx releases? Also, are you playing actual games on actual hardware, or are you emulating?

gbapalyer · 08/04/2013, 05:25 AM

DUDE, play some of the HuCARD RPG/ARPG...like Necromancer. I was always curious about how that game would be perceived by a connoisseur, like yourself.

shubibiman · 08/11/2013, 11:22 AM

Just played through Exile. Incredibly short and easy game.

shubibiman · 08/13/2013, 05:15 PM

Cleared Exile 2 a few minutes ago. This game is a kind of joke.
