Xak I+II such stupid games! Iam really angry...

gbapalyer · 10/28/2012, 10:21 AM

i have played through xak I and now iam straned at dead mountain island in xak II.
the old hag has greeted me i have equipped the sorcerer hat, saved the game and now if i load the safe file i cannot continue because stupid latok wont move!

how stupid is that bug??? now i cannot reach the end of the game and all the time i played it was for nothing...i only have 1 safe file...has anyone ever experienced something stupid like that???

i really hate xak I+II...

is there any chance for me to proceed again without starting over? i startet the game over and over again but latok only stand there and looks from the left side to the right...no moving at all..

i think i have to start xak II again...damn 3 hours for nothing...maybe i have one safe file left on my tennokoe bank...

SuperDeadite · 10/28/2012, 12:05 PM

If you hate it, why are you playing it?

gbapalyer · 10/28/2012, 12:18 PM

because i startet it and so i have to finish it XD
i played it again and now iam nearly at the same scene. will play it again tomorrow and finish that beast finally. XD

Okay.

kazekirifx · 10/28/2012, 11:28 PM

Damn. That sucks. What a shitty bug.

I've played a few games in the series on old Japanese PC's. I believe I have Xak III for FM Towns, but I could never quite get into it. The quality is just not that good compared to stuff by Falcom and Glodia, etc.

gbapalyer · 10/29/2012, 02:48 AM

i played xak III for one hour and could not beat the first boss, so i did not play it any further...
xak I+II are ridiculous hard at the beginning but very easy to the end and the boss battles are also way to easy.

ys is clearly the better series.

NightWolve · 10/29/2012, 05:32 AM

You couldn't beat the first boss in Xak III ??? Huh. I don't remember that game being difficult at all... Boring, but not difficult...

Well, I'm sorry your Xak I&II adventures aren't going so well. Wish ya all the best. ;)

Arkhan Asylum · 10/29/2012, 09:47 AM

How dare you speak ill of Xak 1 and 2.

gbapalyer · 10/29/2012, 10:05 AM

the games are ok but too short and too buggy. ;)

@nightwolve: maybe i did not play it too seriously as i only looked into it for an hour or so. ;)

Arkhan Asylum · 10/29/2012, 10:26 AM

Play the MSX versions. they are better.

Feares Town Theme is bitchin.

I like Xak, but the PCE CD ones are not the best ones, despite being on better hardware

Haha! Who did that translation ?

- time positioned link

QuotePixie: Are you the warrior called Dork ?

Latok: My name is Latok, Dork is my father.

Pixie: Oh, I see... Do you know where I can find Mr. Dork?

...

Pixie: Well then, I shall give this message from the King to Mr. Dork's son...

Wait, wait, I just remembered, I think the game was patched with D-Boy's (Derrick S.) joke fan translation patches from that joke site he had set up, "langfand00d" and whatnot. It's a very old gag he did, forgot all about it... ;)

Anyway, those patches are probably more fun to play the games with than my Xak III shit one. Heh.

EDIT: Well, I found D-Boy's old joke site, he's got a joke patch for Xak I, but I couldn't find one for Xak II, so I dunno. ;)

gbapalyer · 10/29/2012, 02:54 PM

i finished xak I+II today. ;)

Maxwar · 11/06/2012, 01:54 AM

I wanted to beat this at some point ( ITs the game i got free when i bought my Duo-R )

The musics are BADASS, yet i stopped somewhere around 3/4 of the way through Xak I.

Gameplay is a bit weird on the Xak I :p

You are officially a hardcore player of old RPG's, and I commend you for that.

termis · 11/06/2012, 05:09 AM

I can't recall it being difficult at all. And whatever bug it was that gba encountered, I guess I didn't get through.

Xak I/II reminds me a lot of Ys. The story/characters aren't as likeable/memorable as the Ys crew, but overall it's not a bad one at all. Xak III is quite a bit different than I/II though.

lol I found my Ultima IV notebook a month or two ago.

I like how my like 13 year old scribbles about places were about as vulgar as I am now.

big X in Minoc: "RUNE IS HERE. WHAT ASSHOLE PUT IT IN THE FORGE."

and then the trinsic one "poison is gay"

PCEngineHell · 11/06/2012, 03:08 PM

Lol yeah I was about the same way when I was a kid. Profanity was, and still is, such a wonderful thing.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/06/2012, 03:25 PM

yeah. I used to name characters stuff like "Fucker" and "Douchebag" so the story text made fun sentences like

"Help me, Fucker!" and "Hey Douchebag!"

My ultima 3 party on PC one time was

SHIT
PISS
COCK
FUCK

PCEngineHell · 11/06/2012, 03:39 PM

Seems like my fav rename back then was renaming Dr. Guildo on Techmo World Wrestling Dr. Dildo. It seemed the proper thing to do and all.

Ha! I hear you! For me, it was "Honoré de Balzac"--I was a trash mouth back then!

Arkhan Asylum · 11/06/2012, 04:34 PM

Anyone who speaks spanish has a trash mouth.

SICK BURN.

TurboXray · 11/06/2012, 04:59 PM

But of course, Honoré de Balzac is french.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/06/2012, 05:45 PM

Hunh. I always thought esteban was a spaniard.

Oh well. Both languages are overly similar and equally annoying to the ears, IMHO.

and my HO is top notch.

I definitely can't top that, but I did Phantasy Star II-IV all in one summer vacation. That was about as hardcore as I'll ever get.

TurboXray · 11/11/2012, 07:02 PM

I beat Legend of Xanadu (the first one) when it came out new, back in the day. All japanese, no strategy guides or walk throughs, or hint of any kind. That's a lil' bit hard core (I had a little translation book where I attempted to translate important text in the game. If was difficult and that last 30+ floor dungeon... ugh). I also beat Emerald Dragon when it was new as well, and that game was a calk walk in comparison.

Arkhan Asylum · 11/12/2012, 10:43 AM

A cock walk!

I'd still say Ultima 4 or 5 is more of a challenge than any RPG on the PCE. Ultima V especially. That game isn't for wimps. Even if you're told exactly what to do, it'll still bang you in the ass repeatedly.

TurboXray · 11/12/2012, 06:57 PM

Dude, it's a total cock walk (better than a cock block).

Arkhan Asylum · 11/12/2012, 09:49 PM

well, a cock walk sounds kinda painful, especially if shes in heels.

So... if I understood you correctly, with a lil' bit of reading between the lines, you played the game of "beat your dragon", new to you at the time, and found that it was a total cock walk ? That about right ? ;)
