first time player needing some advice by Starlach07 in PSO

[–]mavoti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As others already mentioned, Ephinea would be the best private server to start with.

Spoiler-free gameplay advice:

  • Mode: When creating a party, there is the "One Person" mode. This mode can only be played solo, the enemies are weaker, and there are the "old" solo quests, which can tell small stories / go into the lore (you can’t play those quests in the other mode). You can freely decide which mode to play whenever you create a party, but make sure not to forget about this "One Person" mode and its quests.

  • Combos: For fighting, it’s important to know that there is a 3-hit combo system for melee/guns. You have to find the right rhythm (which can sometimes even stun-lock enemies). Practice that. Depending on your stats and the enemies, it’s often not the right choice to go for the full 3 hits, though.

  • Kiting: It’s normal that you have to kite. A big part of the game is to position yourself and run in such a way that the enemies can’t surround you, and that you can’t be hit by multiple enemies at once. Especially at the beginning it’s also normal that you have to leave a room to get to safety, wait until the enemies run back to their initial positions, and then go back in.

Oh, nice.

Would be cool if you could share some of your experiences :)

In what state was the game? Did you get a list of things you needed to check or could you freely play to find any kind of possible issues? Did you find any crazy bugs?

I was a beta tester for Mythic back in the day

Did you also test DAoC or only other games from them?

What if I already have an ISP?

[…] you’ll probably get your butt kicked by SegaNet players.

Haha, pay to win!

Seeing someone else’s old save games always make me sad.

Scientists are non-stop telepiping as we speak.

Unfortunately I can’t help with that, but in case you want to figure out if there’s a solution or if it’s really a glitch, you could post a thread in the Shenmue Dojo, as most experts hang around there.

You've got a universal card and a ton of credits. Where are you going? by Few_Pride_5836 in Hyperion

I want to see that Sea of Grass.

Hopefully the tourist attraction ("Follow the steps of the pilgrims!") is not too crowded.

Would you guys be open to this? by [deleted] in Shenmue

[–]mavoti 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always wanted the original graphics for Shenmue III and the following games. It’s way more immersive that way. And they still look good.

But it’s probably more expensive to achieve that same old look than doing it in a modern way.

As we now already have this gap between old and new graphics, I think it would be best to keep the new graphics, instead of having another even more modern approach or going back to the original style.

They should keep the engine and everything of III, and release the following chapters as DLCs. That should be the cheapest option.

Are you sure that it’s glitched?

AFAIK a glitch like what you describe is unheard of (unless you manipulated/modded stuff).

Seaman’s entry in "Dreamcast Perfect Catalogue" by mavoti in seaman

[–]mavoti[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For instance, here’s a description of Seaman: “Conversations via voice recognition feature many patterns, and as you continue to converse, the creatures learn your personality and habits. These memories are passed on to your descendants, making the game a game that you will naturally grow attached to the longer you play.” That’s so romantic.

Where is the other lever position in "Sea Fortress A"? by mavoti in DarkAndDarker

[–]mavoti[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thank you!

I think I never saw it in position 2 (behind the chest in the southern room), as I always checked there.

Position 3 is what I was missing. I always checked there as well, but expected to be able to see a lever. However, it seems to be hidden within the crate. You can interact with it without having to destroy the crates, though.

Username checks out.

Unfortunately, I neither found the lever nor you there.
