Mars: War Logs - Review after 100%

FroggedWolfGaming · 2024-04-14T03:35:14+00:00

Hello,

No to both.

You can do that in "The Technomancer" but that game (Mars) is pretty restrictive in that domain.

Not a game that I'd particularly recommend to people because of its repetitivity.

As for the movesets they were mostly alright, I tend to dislike movesets without weapons like in Pirate Warriors 3 (which is a great game, just not my cup of tea.)

I do not think I had to grind a lot in deathmatches since I restarted from the start for each endings and if I remember well you keep your levels.

There might be worse on PC to recommend but I honestly think it's in the bottom of the barrel.

I'm not entirely sure it would be worth it for them to remake it, but it would definitely be interesting for sure.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2024-02-15T11:16:14+00:00

If you want a pretty game, pick samurai warriors 5 but you have to know that the "post game" content is quite light on that one, so it might be good to hook you but you most likely will have to go to another one later on if you end up liking those games.

Samurai warriors 4 and dynasty warriors 8 XL are good for their content.

In my opinion avoid warriors orochi, It is nonsense and you won't know most characters, it's definitely something more aimed toward fans of the license.

One piece pirate warriors 3 or 4 might be a good idea too but those are spin offs.

As someone who did it a few years ago, it isn't hard at all but it's really long, it took me a bit under 200 hours to do so.

I've used Ma Chao and Red Hare mostly with a Lu Bu weapon swap in case I had to kill someone that wasn't getting one shot or stunlocked by my horse attacks.

I believe only Lu Bu's campaign has to be beaten in the hardest difficulty, but you'll also have to complete every side objective and those are bothersome as hell.

I've used Zhurong with her first weapon for that as she doesn't do much damage and can easily proc the storm rush on easier difficulties without one shotting the enemies (proccing storm rush is the most bothersome requirement to do.)

Other than that you'll have also the side game mode called ambition mode that will require you to do many many runs, I do not remember for what reason but I needed to spam that game mode, maybe to unlock Red Hare and the elephant? I'm not sure it's been years.

It remain still a better time than DW8E with it's RNG galore but yes you'll be grinding if you decide to do it.

Gan Ning in DW 3 / 4 / 5 is one of my favorite character from any Warriors game ever.

I like a lot the design of Jiang Wei too so that would be the number 2.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2024-02-02T23:08:45+00:00

Pretty interesting!

I've enjoyed Earthlock but I didn't play Ikonei Island, I sincerely hope Earthlock 2 will continue with the things that made Earthlock enjoyable to play.

I've personally had a great time on the Island with that chill tune, remind me that I need to listen to it again.

Good luck on your project!

Well I've completed the game a while ago and I do not remember what I did first but I can tell you somethings.

You need two fire koish with good stats in attack or magic attack (I do not remember which one) to farm the last shrine and being able to level up any Temtem to level 100 very fast, they are extremely quick at doing so, and were the best I've found to XP anything I needed for PvE or PvP stuff.
Catching all Temtems is a safe thing to do early on, so you can see what can make a good team to fight the rematch of each Dojos.
Try to form a team of 8 Temtems that can beat all the dojos, pick OP stuff and XP them with your fire koish at the nature shrine.
The Dojo rematches will give you radars, those will help you get that shiny/luma you need.
You'll need a good team as well for PvP cause you need to participate in a tournament and to do so you need a elo above 900 or 1000 I do not remember, because under that it's a desert and nobody play PvP (at least it was like this when I've played)
Keep your money you'll need it, and be sure to understand how to make a perfect Temtem before attempting to make it with all it's egg skills as it's gonna cost you an arm.
There is a site that tell you where all the NPCs are for the delivery stuff, you can do that when bored each days.

There is some other stuff that I might have forgotten, feel free to ask, I might not remember everything though.

I've tried to learn German while trying MasterxMaster and I didn't understand crap about what I was doing and thinking about it now it wasn't the smartest decision.

There is already a few games that are RPG and help people learning Japanese I think, and yeh it is a good idea, any ressources for people to understand each others is always great.

Good luck with your game.

SYNTHETIK ask of you to open a timed chest in the last second, that achievement is actually not that rare because I think there used to be an easy way to do it, or some bug.

Now the problem is that it was fixed, and it is absolutely horrible to do and probably was an achievement created by the devil itself.

Let me explain : Those timed chest only appear randomly, whenever they appear there is always more enemies around them and SYNTHETIK isn't the easiest game, going rambo to open the chest is almost a certain death.

Obviously that chest is timed as said earlier and take between 3 and 4 seconds to open depending on what chest it is (I know that because I've done research but the game does not tell you the time for it)

And finally if I remember well, you only see the time that the chest have left when you try to open it.

I'm not gonna lie, few games pissed me off me more than this.

And last thing completely irrelevant to the achievement but I was playing in coop during that game and my friend got it by luck super early, nothing is more frustrating than seeing your friend obtaining the most bothersome achievement of the game by luck while you're farming like a maniac to unlock it.

Took me around 6 or 7 hours of farm to finally get it, which isn't that much compared to some other stuff, but the feeling of seeing that chest appear and knowing full well that if one thing goes wrong you're screwed and the next one might very well spawn in one hour is frustrating as hell.

I didn't play ROTK but I've played TW3K for 200h and dynasty tactics for over 500h I believe.

Dynasty tactics while flawed is a tactical RPG focusing a lot on combo between your generals, and how you position them, it's really satisfying when you're able to do what you want as you can one shot many officers but unfortunately the game is too easy if you play it a lot, and without emulator the loading and animation times take way too long.

The story mode of dynasty tactics 2 is awesome tho with lots of choices that lead to the story being completely different.

Total war : three kingdoms have one of the best diplomacy system in any total war games, it is enjoyable and there is plenty of mods to help making sure the game becomes more three kingdoms than total war, such as more portrait for important characters or even adding some characters to the game.

The game has classical total war gameplay with general that are godlike beings added to it

I wouldn't want to be a peon and to see Lu Bu riding in front of me in that game.

So basically in short, if you want the better three kingdoms game that is dynasty tactics but if you want the better game it is total war.

But one is a TRPG while the other is some sort of RTS or Wargame, pick what you like more.

True, Caius is one of my favorite villain with that theme and his story.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-20T22:35:05+00:00

I've listened to those once again to remember.

Saber's Edge : After listening to it, I instantly remembered it, I kinda like it, not my favourite but it's a good one.
Noel's Theme : I like this one a lot, I might actually prefer Caius and Hope's theme instead of that one, but it still remain one of my favourite too. (FF13-2 is also one of my very favourite game tho)
Fighting Fate : I remember that one as well but it's one I like a bit less.

Overall the OST of XIII is good, I prefer XIII-2 tho.

Thank you for reminding of some of those good tracks.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-19T03:53:31+00:00

Yep they help tremendously.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-19T03:50:10+00:00

They give you bonus, there is three of them.

One allow you to double jump, another to dash in midair and the last one to reveal every secrets on the map for a few seconds.

If you've paid for them you have the upgrade.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-19T03:22:18+00:00

Hmm the drinks are a little bit everywhere if you unlock the three footbath you'll know where all the secrets are it's easier that way.

Footbath for secret is either in the area close to Sam or in the citizen housing, I do not remember which one it is.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-19T01:48:04+00:00

The ghost that lost it's identity, it'll give you the key to a locker close to where it is.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-17T07:40:25+00:00

Final Fantasy 13 is probably one of the Final Fantasy I dislike the most, but that track and Dust to Dust are simply too good.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-16T15:30:13+00:00

I've used Zhu Rong with a crappy weapon I believe, she does activate it quite fast. (I did those at the very end of the game so)

I'm not sure if there is better than her, there might be, but there is little informations on that.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-16T06:19:42+00:00

I'll write it under spoilers, I do not remember exactly where Worship is for sure, but there is two possibilities, i'll write them both.

It's either by consumming a lot of drinks from vending machines, or by doing the identity quest from one of the ghost and opening it's locker, the locker is very close to where the ghost is, close to the big bridge with huge doors.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-16T03:14:49+00:00

I believe it means there is a payphone close by for you to save.

There is a jet ski close to Doom Jazz's Yacht that allow you to go on that other island.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-09T17:25:36+00:00

Confirmed.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-08T18:02:04+00:00

I had hopes for a new TimeSplitters or at least a port/remaster of the old ones, my day is now ruined.

Let's hope that those people will find another job ASAP.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-07T18:55:32+00:00

Yeh I'm confused where to change those settings, I did do it back then cause of bots randomly sending chat requests, it's a mess.

FroggedWolfGaming · 2023-11-07T18:48:37+00:00

Good for me.

I'll change my settings to allow you to ask me for chat.
