I'm on Chapter 3 of HD Noire. I also got new characters. So, it's clear that Lee-Fi is based off of Chun-Li from Street Fighter. Lid is based off of Snake from Metal Gear. For those playing it (dark) who is Resta supposed represent? She looks like she'd come from a Tales game, but I can't tell if that's the case. @_@

That was so much fun!

Thanks for the question, fighterpilot! Thanks to mrnikon for getting everything set up! Thanks for wearing the coolest gaming shirt, redblaze!

And thanks to (in no particular order) fauxshot, bad@chaos, mrnikon, and redblaze for making this so much fun. I can't wait to see what's in store for next week.

I replayed an old game and found the old review for it.

Kind of like the Inafune leaving Capcom, Kojima leaving Konami sounds like bad news.

Just curious, how much would you sell it for?

That's...a good question. I had my mind set on it being a trading transaction, but I'm open to a monetary one, as well. Maybe it'd be better to PM me if you (and I guess anyone else) is interested since it feels odd discussing money on here.

Marketplace / Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom SNES version for Trade.

« on: March 19, 2015, 11:29:08 am »

Hello everyone!

I have a copy of Wizardry V: Heart of the Maelstrom for the Super Nintendo. I tested it and it works fine. I found it with all of the contents with the exception of the typical SNES dust protector. That means it has the box, instruction manual and the cardboard slot alongside the cartridge. All are in lovely condition.

Would anyone want to trade it for something? Wizardry isn't really my thing, so if anyone wants to work out some deal, I'd be happy to do so. PM or respond here if you wish. ^^ I can provide pictures if interested.

I noticed that about Blanc. Neptune has a tendency to call her Blahny. XD It's adorable. I'm glad that she'll be the starlet of the next game.

I'll keep all of those hints in mind. With characters like Vert, can't they just be the ones giving the smooch in order to increase Lily Ranks? That would be my guess, so even if a character doesn't have a support skill, can they still gain Lily Ranking by just being involved in the skill.

Does that make sense at all? XD

He posted some great impressions on the general topic after I asked him to. I'm going to hold off on buying it for a while since I don't have a PS4 and since something tells me I'd be better off getting the PSP version. I'm all about giving the PSP more attention, after all.

Since I'm in the mood for something simple, especially after dealing with Fury Mode in Muramasa, I started the game on Easy mode. The only DLC I bothered with were the free ones. The sword for Noire seems to be the only worthwhile one, though. The free items are welcome, but that sword is wrecking stuff left and right.

These Lily Ranks don't seem as bad. We just have to surround a character with other characters and use a skill, yes?

Lily Ranks have always been a grind in the series. How bad are they in this game?

The plan is to go live at 9:30 Eastern Time, 8:30 Central Time. Which means...*does math on his fingers because math is hard STOP JUDGING ME* 6:30 for the folks in sunny California.

To bring darkalicious' point further home, you shouldn't worry about what you have and don't have. A good collector should also be a good person: honest, fair, kind-hearted, etc. That's what makes a good collector and, quite frankly, what makes this site so great.

I have no interest in owning an NES, SNES, Genesis, etc. because they'd take up space and I already own a Retron 5. I can still play Secret of Mana in short bursts, but I don't need to worry about space. A "good" collector also knows the importance of space as far as I'm concerned. XD

I'll begin HD Noire tonight. I got the free DLC and I'm eager to put it to good use. ^^

I don't think there's such a thing as a "bad collector."

Unless you obtain your goods via unsavory means. Then you're a bad collector and a bad person.

Canned laughter and canned cricket sound effects. Make it happen.

I just finished listening to it. The two of you did really well. It was like listening to a couple of buddies hanging out, talking about gaming and shooting the proverbial breeze. Keep up the great work.

I still haven't played GFP. It looks like it would be right up my alley, but at the same time, it looks like it'd be a huge time sink. I have tons of those titles already in ye olde backlog, and I damn well intend on getting around to all of them. Since you're praising Noire's game, I think that may actually end up being the one I go with instead of FFF.

It's been a hot minute since I played a solid SRPG, and I can use some light-hearted, fourth wall breaking humor after dealing with Zack.
