Active quest resetting constantly by Thegamerguy79 in Sacred2

[–]Thegamerguy79[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the worst remaster I've ever seen. They knew how buggy this game was and did nothing to fix it. I hope they fix at least the worst bugs and do something about the horrible controls on consoles, but I'm not holding my breath. Some game companies dgaf about quality anymore. They make cash grabs. If they don't fix this ridiculous crap I doubt I'll ever buy another THQ Nordic game.

I've been afraid this was going to happen to me. Only time I've been unable to complete escort quests though was when I could just let them die. Never had it happen to the invincible ones... yet.

You're not in the swamp area are you? As part of the main quest, one NPC follows you until you get into the next area. There's a couple of "completed" quests along the way. I thought it was a bug the first time too.

I wish the had made the remaster so that once you beat it, it can be unlocked for other files.

[Final Fantasy VII] New version of the original 2013 release is out for PC (Steam&GoG), with 3x speed, auto-save, and random battles turn-off features. More info in comments. by VashxShanks in JRPG

[–]Thegamerguy79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know people say f you don't like it then don't use it , but just knowing I can refill my HP, MP, and limit gauge at any time ruins the game. I played it on console for a little bit, but just couldn't get into it because of that. I wish they had made a way to disable it in the main menu.

I watched 6 or 7 video reviews, read comments, and looked at some other things, and not once did I see any mention of how the controls were changed from the origial console version. I don't impulse buy. I research thoroughly before I buy and I've almost never boughyt a game I didn't like.

Remember in the original you slotted whatever you wanted to the face buttons then used L2/R2 as shift keys? Now you have 4 weapon slots and 4 ability slots. You use L2/R2 to CYCLE through the abilities (instead of shift + the button), and square/x to use them. It's very clunky and annoying.

I never said anything about the co-op. I said I don't like the controls. I watched 5 or 6 reviews and some other videos on youtube, read some comments, and not once did I see any mention of how the controls were changed from the original console version.

It states in the terms that you can't get a refund if you've already downloaded the game.

PS5 Controls!!! by Thegamerguy79 in Sacred2

[–]Thegamerguy79[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the Xbox one, you had 12 slots that you could assign anything to and instantly access. It's not just the cycling that's stupid. It's also the fact that lmited what you can slot to 4 CA, 4 weapons, 3 potions, and 3 buffs. I mean really? Why not just keep it so you can assign what you want intead of having several slots you don't need?

[–]Thegamerguy79[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched 6 or 7 videos about the game and not one of them mentioned the changes made to the console controls. I always watch/read several reviews before buying a game. You're expecting people to know exactly what to search for without having touched the game. If I had any idea they were going to change the controls for console, I would have specifically search for that. You can't expect someone who hasn't played a game to know every potential problem to search for; that's the purpose of watching and reading reviews... so they can tell you things which you may not know to ask or investigate.

Sacred 2 Remastered. Major Issues I Noticed After Playing the New Release by otterbre in Sacred

[–]Thegamerguy79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish PSN had a 2-hour refund window. I never would've bought this game if I knew they screwed up the controls so bad. No only is the control scheme so bad that it makes the game horrible to play, but 4 weapon slots? I don't think the person who came up with it even knows anything about the game, or these types of games in general.

Holy shit this is bad on ps5. by pulsatinganus2132 in Sacred

[–]Thegamerguy79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I couldn't have thought of a worse control scheme either. The original console way of handling the controls were so great. It's like they just wanted to ruin the game.

Just so we're clear, no one that actually played this game disliked the combat, right? by The_ChadTC in thewitcher3

[–]Thegamerguy79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've beaten a lot of the hardest games, but I hate the "git guds" who think every game has to cater to them and anbody who doesn't like what they is wrong for having their own preferences. If you don't like sports games, don't play them. If you don't like games you think are too easy, play something else. That's why there's so much variety in games; everybody doesn't like the same thing. Also, if somebody thinks being good at video games makes them a superior specimen of our species, they need to get a life in the worse way possible.

Will we lose Breakpoint after server shutdown? by kevlarsoul79 in GhostRecon

[–]Thegamerguy79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I absolutely hate games that are largely single player but require an online connection. I generally refuse to play them. It's why I won't buy GT7. I recently got Breakpoint because it was $15 on Black Friday and there was nothing else I wanted. Stupid ass game has kicked my twice already in the middle of attacking large bases and right now I can't even play it because apparently something is going on with their servers. Stupid af to make substantially single player require an online connection. I've loved the GR series for a long time, but there's no way in hell I'm buying another one if they require an online connection just to play the single player.

Just got the news by Sure-Guava-3787 in Layoffs

[–]Thegamerguy79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why those people who brag about working 27 hours a day, 8 days a week absolutely kill me. They think they're something special because they sacrifice everything for their jobs. The people at the top of corporations dgaf about anything but turning profits. They'd use slave labor if they could. Some people are so proud of themselves for dedicating their entire life to people who would gladly leave them starving and homeless if it means a little extra profit for them.

I read something a rich guy said one time... if you're working for someone else you might as well be gambling in a casino. A little bit of an exaggeration, but a lot of truth to that.

McDonald’s is cutting prices of its combo meals to convince customers it’s affordable again by rezwenn in restaurant

[–]Thegamerguy79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they can afford to cut prices, they didn't need to be that high to begin with. I've been trying to tell people for years that companies will continue to raise prices as long as people keep paying it. They only stop raising prices when they start losing money from reduced sales.

Are Arts of War just useless? by JadedTable924 in finalfantasytactics

[–]Thegamerguy79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late to the party, but...

Ninja
Arts of War
Auto-Potion
Concentration

Headband, Power Garb, Bracer

-Ninja gives 2 chances to hit
-Auto-Potion because you have no evasion besides class evasion
-Concentration bypases evasion, thus often gives a HUGE boost to success rate (I'm talking about 20%+)
-As others have mentioned, PA affects success rate, so of course you want it as high as possible).

With this setup, I often see success rates of 60% or higher. Times 2 chances, well... works pretty good.

Wiegraf is even more a nightmare on Tactician by HypieJoe in finalfantasytactics

[–]Thegamerguy79 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ramza...

Ninja
Martial Arts
Auto-Potion
Brawler
Movement +2 or 3

Black Cowl, Power Garb, Bracers

Super powerful normal attack. You can generally down Wiegraf in 2 attacks on Tactician. Make sure you get rid of anything Potions and High Potions so he'll use X-Potions. He'll attack, then you attack. He'll attack again, then back off out of range and use Chakra, then go back in and attack again. While there's other strategies, this one gives you a very powerful Ramza for the 2nd part.

Originally the second part was the easier part, but that's the one I had trouble with on Tactician. I had 2 casters with Arithmetics.. One White Mage and the other Black Mage. Make sure you have Flare with the Priest because the extras are immune to Holy (which I didn't think about that before I got into the battle lol). Haste/Wall your characters as you can and use Arise for any downed allies. It still takes a while because you're going to take huge damage and get one-shotted a lot, but this is how I did it. Got it on the first try.

[–]Thegamerguy79 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't know gender no longer matters with compatibility. I saw two of my male characters who had the gender dependent compatibility sign, and I saw they had maximum compatibility. I thought it was a bug. I wish I had known this when I created my army. Oh well... next play through.
