Review JRPG Codex Review: Fortune Summoners: Secret of the Elemental Stone

I see. Sorry for misunderstanding you at first. Still, I keep thinking the same. Whether you make such a character an agile thief or merely a social character, you don't penalize her (or him) in her main attributes, because that just wouldn't do. Instead, you find another way to show what it cost her to be that way. Sure, this isn't realistic, but realism was never the aim. The issue here has to do with the theme of the story, not what would someone realistically sacrifice to get those things. Then again, like you yourself said, all you need is a social class like "courtesan" and you could reunite what is sacrificed with what would realistically happen. A few indie games, like Apocalypse World and Burning Wheel can do social only characters pretty well!

You mean that interesting thread you didn't even reply to is being obscured by another thread which you've replied to three or four times? Tell me more.

Unorus Janco's pic says it all. Talk the talk, walk the walk, R00fles!, etc

Another subhuman talking when not addressed. Can't you read, boy?

I brofisted Grunker's post and read the interview. Why would I comment on it, if I have nothing relevant to add? To increase my post count? Should I spam like you do? One reply and reporting the thread would have sufficed, if Codex "management" had any standards. As it is, I'm forced into crusade against weeaboo trash like you and your comrades.

I don't even have a problem you playing your little pedo games and fantasizing about pre-teen girls under guise of "deep gameplay". Better that, than running around acting on those urges. I don't care what your sexual habits are, you can discuss that with your psychiatrist. Just don't post this garbage on the front page of RPGCodex. I'm sure there are places where that content and people like you are more than welcome, I just want to stop RPGCodex becoming one of those places. It looks like I am vastly outnumbered by weeaboo scum, but at least I can say I tried to stop it, when DU adds "j" to the name of the site.

scary stuff

As AK47 said, thread going places.

Funny that your post reminded me of Princess Maker 2, where you could make the girl a princess and "social acceptable", but that would end up removing her from combat, exploration and any standard "RPG adventure" elements....

Anyway, game in general have a great deal of aspirational stuff, expecially games where you create your character. Even in The Sims no one would create a ugly/real version of himself, they would instead create characters that look like their facebook profiles, perfect, happy and carefree. The ammount of effort to even fake that is obviously hidden, so is expected that no AAA+ game will ever make any effort to show, or even make the player play through, all that preparation.

Should I drop a couple of thousand posts in GD and Retardo Land? Would that help? Would that be your advice on becoming a fucking quality poster like you?

Crawl back to GD, weeaboo faggot, and take your deviant brethren with you.

Bro, judging from this paragraph alone I must say you have some major issues, and jumping into blind conclusions is but the least important of them. Why so serious about goddamn games bro? Why do you have to lower yourself to expletives and hatespeak with little to no provocation over entertainment? You say you want to preserve the character of this place and yet you yourself are declining it with such behaviour, contributing nothing to the discussion save for your deluded view, apparently in order to inflate your ego, as opposed to state a meaningful criticism.

Yes, you may have a point - you don't want this place to become second Kotaku - but you do nothing to support it. Actually you undermine your own agenda. Why should anyone care about your whining? In fact, why should anyone listen to you when it is clear you are just wrong, with temper tantrums like that? You think that by acting like a teenage bully among adults you are going to scare "weeaboos" off this place?

Take a chill pill and give it a break, bro.

I am very butthurt about the games I am not going to play regardless of any merit they may have, so I'll invent contrived reason why game XYZ is better and how it has "reasons" for bullshit art direction, thus proving my intellectual superiority douchebaggery and endless capacity to miss the fucking point.

You seem pretty butthurt about others being butthurt. Don't like it when someone pisses on what you like?

 

[Marsal]

But you're a part of decline, little deviant, and no amount of sarcasm is going to change that. What I find most impressive is that you have more posts in GD than posts total. Quite an achievement!

It's a shame you don't use your spamming skills as a force of good, like Kingcomrade did.

I would reply with "witty" remark about you being butthurt over me being butthurt about someone else's butthurt, but I guess it's better to break this circular logic in its roots, lest it spreads.

I didn't call you a douchebag and claimed you have a capacity for missing the point, have I?

So, it wouldn't be witty. It would be a douchebag remark and it would show that you do indeed miss the point.

Oh, I hit a nerve? Recognized yourself there, did you? What you call "entertainment", decent folk call psychiatric disorder. But, to each his own, I'm not here to judge as long as you don't spread your plague here.

Yes, my behavior is a huge decline compared to your "Let's play" adventures, isn't it?

There may be yet some hope for you, little deviant. At least you don't deny your problem, like that filthy Mrowak. Sarcasm is not helping, though. Now go and sin no more.

I take back what I said, this thread delivers the dramas.

I know right? It's like Goku holding up his palms up in the sky to gather the forum's energy, before unleashing a ball of rage or something like that. We should have more of these threads. It's super effective.

Bro, saying that

and then

I'm not here to judge

as long as you don't spread your plague here.

Is pretty much contradicting youself. Are you sure you don't suffer from some kind of psychiatric disorder you so generously labelled me with? I thought so... If I were you, I'd quit playing psychiatrist over standard TCP/IP.

Yes, you may have a point - you don't want this place to become second Kotaku - but you do nothing to support it. Actually you undermine your own agenda. Why should anyone care about your whining?

Yes it is. Ignorance and douchebaggery is the very thing that we should get rid off with sword and fire. My younger sister has finished that god-attrocious game you are referring to more times than I did - which serves to prove you have no idea what you are talking about again (in before - corrupting the minds of the young and all that).

But I am done with your trolling. You were amusing, but the enjoyment from squabbling with you was short-lived. You have the entire sandbox all for yourself. Achievement unlocked.

We've even got bros throwing down by comparing their respective weapon sizes, to add Bioware style emotional engagement.

Edit ; Or maybe this weapon measuring contest is some kind of mating dance for Crooked bees benefit, I'll need to give it more thought.

What you call "entertainment", decent folk call psychiatric disorder.

Decent folks should get themselves an up to date DSM, then.

Does this mean next time I can write a full length review for an inevitable Devil Survivor 3?

Come on, we all know Devil Survivor is a better WRPG than most games calling themselves WRPGs.

It is, and you could... if it were a PC game.

Bah, technicality, I'm going to write it anyway and keep spamming you/DU/VentilatorofDoom/...Vault Dweller?/Brian Mitsoda?/Chris Avellone? (who do I spam about this?) till it gets published

What happened on 11/11/11?

I'm baffled you forgot it. It was the day when you and other cRPG enthusiasts like Twinfalls showed up to drool over the latest entry to the Elder Turds saga on day 1. Awesome! Mature lore and stuffies! All is forgiven Todd!

All I recall us saying was that the game was fun, exploration was excellent and for all its flaws it was still a far better product than Oblivion - and as such, incline, by Bethesda standards. Nobody ever touted this game as a flawless RPG or the next PS:T. It's a hiking simulator, and a good one at that, like Morrowind, with some cool lore for the lorehounds, some eyecandy for those who like spelunking and somewhere in there there's also a crappy RPG.

Not sure why you make that into "all is forgiven, Todd!". Black & white worldview much? I always considered us to be gentlemen with refined opinions that are a little more sophisticated than "worst game ever!" and "best game ever!".

Considering the amount of effort done by so many to defend such Skyrimjob crap from any criticism here back in those days, that is a pretty dishonest and tame way of seeing it. No, it was a full fledged face-heel-turn into being idiotic mouthbreathing fanboys and, more exactly, the falling of countless masks of the betrayers and posers who finally felt themselves to be of a sufficient majority to come out of their closets and openly admit they like shit games now. Of course any idiotic mouthbreathing fanboy will try to defend his brethren from being called for what they truly are. Everyone who bought that game here gave his small contribution to the decline, so don't even try to defend the people who act as pathetically as the "Boycott Modern Warfare 2" group to the few who still truly care about the direction of gaming industry. You already voted with your wallets for more decline.

Really? Having a nuanced opinion about skyrim, seeing its flaws and good ideas in isolation instead of viewing the whole product as a "crapjob" (fuck if you could've done a better job) is dishonest? You're a tool. Also if you want to complain about people voting with the wallet on games you don't like (or more likely, that you won't admit to yourself that you like, because they do not make you elitist enough), then you should find a more public outlet for your rage, than this obscure forum.
