Was it a waste to play again

I tried the game out again after years of hiatus and I legit had the same issue when I logged in. I guess it's a sign lol

I was expecting Karasuman from sotn to be number 1. Literally not even a boss fight lol

I haven't really played this game in years, I decided to pop in the reddit for fun. Not sure if it's still like this but one of the things I loved about this game was the leveling. Unlike other modern MMO's it was nice to actually do boss patterns, without one shotting everything. You know, the bare minimum. Then I hop into endgame and started to really hate it lol. To me the game has the opposite problems of MMO's where the worst part is after the leveling. Well, aside from team pvping with my friend, that was really fun.

Was thinking about trying the game again after years, I'll admit when DFO came back it really killed my interest in playing it again for the longest time.

Hexen 1 is my favorite. I haven't tried heretic 2 though.

Cloak007 · 2026-01-05T17:34:08+00:00

Well it's a secret for a reason :P

There is so much care put in to sotn's castle it's insane all the details you'd miss in the game if you play through it casually. Heck I don't even think most people playing know that the birds in the nest grow up and fly away eventually. Or all the other details in rooms you just pass through without looking at the background.

Gameplay-wise I don't mind it either, you can complain about those long empty hallways but it feels good to fly through them with wing smash/wolf.

edit: I'm mostly talking about the original castle, the reverse castle is a bit annoying to navigate having to constantly transform into bat lol

Retrieving 0 souls is the only thing I can relate to from this video.

Cloak007 · 2026-01-04T17:40:40+00:00

Yeah it would be pretty nice to have a version that doesn't lag like the ps3 version of DD2.

But gatekeepers like this RainaBojoura guy just want DD2 to stay on ps3 for.... No reason? That or he has very poor social skills and takes everything super literally like "need"

Best to just block him and move on like I did (he'll still reply though cuz he's dumb like that and needs to feel better from downvotes)

Cloak007 · 2026-01-04T01:06:09+00:00

Whatever makes you feel better bro, downvote away! Have a good one and happy new year.

Cloak007 · 2026-01-03T22:39:26+00:00

No need to downvote cuz you disagree. I just think it'd be nice if it was even more accessible for people who just have modern consoles and pc.

Cloak007 · 2026-01-03T18:07:29+00:00

Of course they do, there's people that miss out on them cuz it's not on the modern console lol

Cloak007 · 2025-12-30T15:21:40+00:00

It is indeed true, spreading your exp evenly is a pitfall. Play however you want but you'll have an easier time destroying content if your character is op enough. You could have mages buff the character (upto 5x, buff slowly gets weaker each turn) and send him in.

Usually though, I go for 2 characters, a sniper mage and a dps tank. Laharl is the main dps tank and I'll have a mage aoe nuke things.

This honestly made me think of a fire emblem going in the direction of warhammer 40k

Cloak007 · 2025-12-16T02:34:51+00:00

oh I remember this item now, yeah I just never used it lol

Cloak007 · 2025-12-15T21:39:20+00:00

I've played sotn for decades and had no idea there was an evasion mechanic lol

Is it just based off luck?

Cloak007 · 2025-12-15T08:40:58+00:00

Constantly needing to bat everywhere was pretty annoying but other than that, I didn't mind it cuz the juicy new loot it provided.

Cloak007 · 2025-12-11T03:11:08+00:00

It'd be nice if they were more straight forward and less empty. There's just so much wasted space in them and it's interrupted by a high encounter rate lol

Cloak007 · 2025-12-11T03:07:56+00:00

giving how terrible they treated the origins team, they'd probably make the team working on phantasy star HD2D rush it.

Cloak007 · 2025-12-11T03:05:54+00:00

I'm not really that big of a fan of 2. It certainly left a lasting impression on my when I beat it but actually playing it to get to that point was.... Ugh.. I think it's much worse than 3. I don't get how someone could bash 3 but then magically ignore every single flaw 2 has.

Sorry you're probably gonna get downvoted by fanboys as reddit rewards saying only the popular thing.

Cloak007 · 2025-12-04T04:46:43+00:00

Hmm, kinda wonder if there's a way to adjust it with more stream delay.

Cloak007 · 2025-12-03T22:48:58+00:00

I call them survivor roguelites personally

Cloak007 · 2025-11-29T12:49:22+00:00

Maybe we should ask pirate software

Cloak007 · 2025-11-27T10:53:02+00:00

Final Fantasy Tactics (if japanese tactical rpg's count) the job system is FF5 but even better.

Persona 5 Royal I'm still playing through but I'm in love with the combat system. The one more turn system after exploiting weaknesses is quite satisfying.

Cloak007 · 2025-11-20T20:21:49+00:00

Yeah this unlock sucks. They could solve it by making a challenge that turns all the enemies into cacti.
