RPG Mania 2022 - Return of the Turn Based Gameplay

[AffectatiousDonk 4,820]

Update:

 

Babylon's Fall PS5 

 

100 + 61 - 29.43 = 131.57 

 

(Had 3 bronze trophies before start - 4% completion)

 

Hopefully I did that right, I wasn't sure I would get any points in this so nice to be off the mark. Really enjoyed this game and look forward to seeing what they can do to improve/save it over the coming months.

[Sanevin 117]

Fun trip down memory lane, just wish it had a stable FPS

 

Chrono Cross: 100 (Base) - 13.17 (Plat Rarity) + 70 (trophy points) + 50 (New Game Bonus) = 206.83

 

Also @Psy-Tychist the spreadsheet seems to be unviewable. I'm getting an "Access Denied" error when clicking on the link.

[Psy-Tychist 2,615]

Lookie here at all these completions.

I'll have them all up later today.

 

@SanevinI think I have fixed it, so it should be viewable now.

[ThirdAwakening 37]

An interesting competition, good thing I missed the cutoff to keep it fair hue hue hue.

I’ll join again this year, here are my double and triple point games

 

Double:

Mary Skelter 2

Touhou Labyrinth: Gensokyo to Tenkan no Taiju
 

Triple:

Star Ocean 4

 

Just remembered that Star Ocean 4 is one of the most wanted games

@Psy-Tychist if possible, I would like my triple point game changed to Star Ocean 5 instead, thank you.

Yep I think most of the hate is just based on the graphics. If you like Nier and the paintbrush sort of artstyle you won't have a problem. I would probably hold off a little longer before starting they are making changes weekly now to the balancing and have some level design patches coming through in the next few weeks I believe. It is great to see they are really committing to working on it to improve it. Guess we shall see what happens down the track

The art style took a bit getting use to I'll admit especially when playing on a large 4Ktv where the oil paint overlay they use, appears a bit more blurrier. Then how it looks when I capture footage or pics where it's much more clear.

 

Combat I enjoy though reminds me of a mash up between Original Nier and some classic PS2 games where you mix up combos and breaks to deal the big damage. (DMC, Chaos Legion, Godhand.)

 

I know some players had major issues with the MTX out the gate. But I think they've handled it better then other live service games. Heck they even gave everyone even players of only the demo/trial the battle pass for free and you could farm it completely just by the demo without needed to purchase the game.

 

I know for me I'm just waiting for a sale on it. As want it digitally and I feel since it didn't sell well out the gate probably will drop in price some by Summer.

Update

 

I Am Setsuna

Starting percentage = 1%

 

100 + 39(b) + 14(s) + 12(g) = 165 - 17.90(rarity) = 147.10

 

Enjoyed this well enough, reminded me of FFX and Tales of Symphonia

Callouts

 

Thought I might as well throw my callouts out:

 

@Spinacheq - Dragon's Crown

@Sanevin - Persona 5 Strikers

Yep I am sure it would be on sale soon. At least one positive for the graphics is that I can't tell any difference between the PS5 / PS4 version so it is kinda fun going back and doing the dailies on the PS4 version till I get the plat

[Sanevin 117]

Ooh people are starting to do callouts. May as well make mine too.

 

@Mesopithecus Final Fantasy VII Remake

@AffectatiousDonk Sakuna: of Rice and Ruin

Great choice, Sakuna is a real hidden gem. I have no idea why I bounced of it. Looking forward to spending some more time with it so thankyou.

 

I am not sure exactly how these call outs go so I will just call you out @Sanevin if that is ok. Our profiles are actually pretty similar, we both have a stack of amazing games at 0% or there abouts. I was tempted to pick Sword Art Online Alicization Lycoris, Fuga Melodies of Steel or Final Fantasy XIV from your profile as all are awesome games but I am going to settle on Persona 5 Royal for your callout. I hope you didn't hate it when you abandoned it and that you can find enjoyment in one of my fav PS4 games too.

@AffectatiousDonk  That's perfect! I was going to play it before doing my Persona 5 Strikers Callout anyways, may as well take the extra points.

 

I played and beat P5 when it was first released but never got very far in Royal.  I agree though, great game.

[Warpedsavior 1,601]

Update #2:

 

Akiba's Beat

100 + 23(1) + 10(2) + 3(6) - 4.57 - 10 = 146.43 points

Good to hear, I didn't realize you had done P5. I am sure you will enjoy the new content in Royal there is some serious long and great story content in there. Looking forward to your thoughts on Strikers, I am still on the fence.

Update

 

Dauntless - I had finished this a while ago on PS4 but went back since they released a PS5 version. They changed a good bit of stuff since i last played it so it was fun going back.

100 - 15 (completion negation) - 7,45 (Plat %) + 26 = 103.55pts

Update #1

 

Rune Factory 4 Special ( 212.96 )

100 + 70 - 7.04 =162.96 + 50 ( Speed run bonus ) = 212.96
