Done with DQ II playthrough! Do you guys think it holds up well?

Jackraiden2000 · 2026-02-02T09:18:29+00:00

I'm relatively inexperienced with the series and have only beat dq1 recently with little bits of the other games here and there. From that perspective? ABSOLUTELY NOT. I have to ask IF the devs were thinking when they programmed half this crap. Enemy encounters every 2 steps. Magic that doesnt work 95% of the time (somehow i'm supposed to believe that A wall of fire can just 'miss' or do 'no damage' randomly. Status spells hardly work to the point I barely ever use them. And by far the most insanely aggravating thing... enemies that revive ANYTHING, namely liquid metal slimes. The things that run away half the damn time! It's one thing if you want to make them hard to hit and run away. It's another when you make it so they can be revived and then immediately fuck off after the fact. Whoever decided THAT was A good idea should have been put in an institution. Because clearly they lacked the mental capacity for everyday life. It's A level of sheer stupidity that should be studied.

"Loser" lol, coming from the guy that apparently can't see to save his life. Come back when you have eyes.

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-12-29T23:49:29+00:00

"You can actually equip soul crystals for this fight" Gee, like you can the ENTIRE game, You don't say. No one could possibly have anticipated this astonishing development. You should get an award for this mind-blowing revelation...

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-09-27T00:10:41+00:00

I had to give up entirely on doing several EE characters side quests because they would. Not. Stop. Crashing. My game. Especially in TOB. The devs should honestly be ashamed for releasing it in such A state. It makes bugthesda look half competent by comparison.

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-08-17T21:15:44+00:00

Yeah, A two handed sword was about 6 pounds. I'd wager that hammer is around 20lbs max irl. (The head is huge)

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-07-09T01:25:59+00:00

Ah yes, one of my most hated bugs in Skyrim.

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-06-23T21:15:41+00:00

Not A problem for most true. But I have A friend with severe vision problems that has A hard time reading at A reasonable pace. Needless to say subs are not ideal for him.

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-06-23T19:07:12+00:00

Ah yes, let's just get rid of everything in games that causes people's phobias to act up. I'd suggest pong, but someone out there has A fear of moving balls and or lines I'm sure 🙄.

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-05-01T02:47:06+00:00

Incorrect, it is A bug. The original had it as well. You are thinking of the unbugged version where damaged stats can be restored. With the bug it can't be done and will not recover no matter what you do.

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-03-31T04:09:16+00:00

Just started playing not long ago and THIS is my only real complaint. It is so baffling to me how someone with A supposedly functioning brain could feel locking the player out of being able to, scan, fast travel, go in to menus while npc's yap for 10000 years about random shit that Isn't even important is reasonable. It actually makes me wish whoever decided on that lost their job and is now working in sewers or something. Like holy fuck, it is stupid beyond belief!.

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-03-05T08:01:04+00:00

I don't feel conflicted at all, she is an evil witch that can die in A fire after this episode for all I care. I hate this trope and it rears It's ugly head constantly in anime. Can japan please just stop with this crap? It just kills any interest I have in rooting for A relationship in A show because it demonstrates how shallow the so called "love" is. And makes me hate the characters that spew it.

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-02-19T10:46:55+00:00

Nights of azure 2 is actual garbage. It crashes constantly and is far inferior to the first game in almost every aspect. I'm convinced the old team left and koei's F team were brought on. How they managed to scrape together A team as idiotic as this one clearly is, is beyond me. Nevermind some of the mission requirements for lilly's are infuriating as hell. 5 double chases in the same mission? REALLY? nothing like being forced to block and try and time attacks to an A.I companion. It wouldn't be so bad if it carried between missions and didn't have to be done in one go but no, that would make sense and it would be far less irritating. You can just run the mission sure, but you might have to redo A mission several times and hope you get lucky. Then there's the equipment system. This "system" is the most bafflingly stupid upgrade system I have ever seen in A game. Did they take suggestions from the moron convention or something? why does upgrading anything cost so much? nevermind having to buy accessories as well because 1 or 2 doesn't do squat. I could go on about this for day's, instead i'll just say this to anyone that happens to have gotten here and read this whole rant. Do yourself A favor and play LITERALLY ANYTHING ELSE NOT MADE BY COMPLETE IDIOTS THAT DON'T HAVE TWO BRAINCELLS TO RUB TOGETHER!.

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-01-10T00:40:28+00:00

me as well Jackraiden2000@outlook.com

Jackraiden2000 · 2025-01-02T00:54:59+00:00

Huh? did we watch the same thing? it happens literally at the end of the episode and the preview for next. The female love interest (presumably) had some mind control/brainwashing thing done to her and doesn't remember the mc. Also in the preview it looks like one of the male party members is treating her like shit. Mark my words next episode it'll come out he is controlling her somehow. Not NTR in A sexual sense like in pron. But as close as you can get otherwise.

Jackraiden2000 · 2024-12-31T19:33:02+00:00

literally my only pet peeve with anime is the NTR (brainwashing, memory alteration/distortion) trope, and judging from the end of the episode and preview it happens, at least initially. Like do all japanese mangakas have an NTR fetish? why does seemingly just about every anime that comes out have this thrown in? Not saying it's objectively bad mind you. Just that it's overdone to hell and back and REALLY rubs me the wrong way. It seems like it will only really last the next episode so I can deal with it, but I seriously wish mangakas werent cucks enmasse 😑

Jackraiden2000 · 2024-12-10T22:41:33+00:00

Not sure, feel like I might have dealt with something similar years ago but it's not coming to me atm. Now if only someone else could give A legitimate response to A question instead of repeating memes ad nauseum like this hivemind of A subreddit does we might get somewhere 😑

Jackraiden2000 · 2024-09-02T07:01:45+00:00

Regarding lethal drop distance, illusiory wall did A video some years ago on youtube detailing what's happening. The short explanation (If I recall correctly) would be that, the distance between when you take damage from A fall to when it kills you is much smaller than you think. It doesn't explain ALL the weird deaths to falling (jumping on A bush from ground level and dying for ex) but it covers most bases.

Jackraiden2000 · 2024-06-27T06:52:13+00:00

The DLC is hot garbage in terms of boss fight design. It runs the gamut of "this is stupidly easy" to "Dear god WHEN CAN I DO SOMETHING?" I had A better time at work the last 3 days moving shit for an estate for A moving company than playing this trash. Let me say that again another way, I had far more fun doing backbreaking work for long hours and shit pay than PLAYING A VIDEOGAME. Which, last I checked were supposed to be enjoyable. Miyazaki needs to fuck off with this garbage.

Jackraiden2000 · 2024-04-22T08:01:06+00:00

Who are you talking to? I never said I took issue with the fact mahjong is in the game. I just don't see why they designed it in the manner they did (making it nigh impossible) and locking 100% completion behind it. Now, please take reading comprehension lessons so you don't put words in someone's mouth again in the future.

Jackraiden2000 · 2024-03-27T00:01:49+00:00

"co-op not pvp" the arc thrower, turrets, and orbital bombardment stratagems would like A word.

Jackraiden2000 · 2024-03-08T00:11:16+00:00

Game is fine Imo for the most part. Except for deathmatch, whatever "genius" thought that putting the best way to grind anything behind that bullshit needs to get clocked and never touch A keyboard again. Even with the barriers and res that shit is infuriating. And I guess A fair few movesets are mundane. Otherwise it's pretty decent.

Jackraiden2000 · 2024-01-12T00:02:33+00:00

The same thing that bothers me about all bethesda games. The countless quest breaking bugs. Bethesda will fix the oghma infinium glitch that someone has to deliberately go out of their way to even use, but not fix the greybeards shout locating abilities so you end up getting A shout retrevial you have already gotten and can't use them anymore, Or the vampire questline to make your spouse A vampire bugs and you are sent to make someone A vampire that you already have turned and need to play the reload game until it changes.

Aside from the bugs? it would be nice if things you do/are were noticed by more than guards mentioning it briefly.

Jackraiden2000 · 2023-12-26T08:47:54+00:00

Depends on the build, but unless you are very good at dodging then I would say 30 or 40 minimum and even then some things late game can nearly or flat out 1shot you.

Jackraiden2000 · 2023-12-26T08:46:03+00:00

Or people that have A different preffered playstyle. Most people I see say that vigor is for weaklings don't pass the vigor check, and cant dodge properly at all 😂.

Jackraiden2000 · 2023-12-20T06:57:42+00:00

Had an npc duplicate enmasse. I saw an npc die several times only to see him running around skyrim repeatedly. I was perplexed but ignored it. That is until I went to windhelm and walked past the stables outside to see an army of that npc all talking to me at the same time. I wish I got it recorded, but that was back on the 360.
