I like the Digimon universe, since I used to watch the show a lot as a kid, but I want to know if the actual games are good or not.
Judging by felipepepe's description of them, I'd probably take Digimon World 3 as my safest bet. Since the first one looks like a farm raising game, where you raise digimons and stuff and the second looks like a dungeon crawler, the third one is the only one which looked like an actual RPG. I remember my also how my big brother used to be such a huge Digimon fan and he bought all the Digimon games and played through all of them at once, with me sitting next to him and watching him play as a little kid, but our Playstation soon broke down due to playing it too much. I also played the DS games and I remeber having fun with them, but yes, like it was said, they require a lot of grinding.Digimon World 1 - Most unique of them, you chose a baby digimon and train/digivolve him to various forms, to lame sukamons to glorious metalmamemon or skullgreymon's. Hard as fuck, digimons dying of old can become a bt frustrating, but it's a solid game with nice world & exploration.
Digimon World 2 - Aweird game, the combat is jRPG's 3vs3, but the exploration became a very tiring tunnel drilling & dungeon crawling stuff, that gets boring REALLY fast... Avoid this one.
Digimon World 3 - A full-fledged jRPG, train you group of 3 digimons, travel the world, do quests, etc... definetly the best Digimon game.
I spend like WEEKS as a kid trying to get Beelzebulmon on my team, and was tottaly worth it. :D
Digimon World 4 - Retarded beat'em'up, really bad and boring, avoid at all costs.
DS Games - They copy the DW3 model, but are waaaaaay weaker, I never managed to play much of them...
There is one PS2 game and a new DS one that I've never tried, but they are full of popamole new-digimon generation shit, didn't excite me enough to download... Also, Digimon Digital Card Battle (PSX) is suprisingly solid.
TL;DR: Try DW 1 & 3, 1 is harder & more action oriented, while 3 is more a classical jRPG.
I'm glad that I made you feel warmth in your heart, because it returns back warmth to my heart as well.The show was a pretty neat event for Saturday mornings as a kid, true, but my experiences with the games has been underwhelming. There was this PSX game where you could pick either the pre-rookie form of Augumon or Gururumon and spend some game -days training them at a "gym," feeding them, taking them to the bathroom, and fighting other low-level mons in order to try and get them to digivolve into something that doesn't suck (like somehow getting one of those green slugs instead of Augumon..... somehow skipping rookie form to get a horrible -stated champion that it shouldn't be able to become...). However, I did play this a lot (never getting everything far because my mon often died if I got in too deep, but I can't remember if I could just reload or not) so maybe some fun was in this odd take on Digimon after all.
Then there's this Digimon Championship (?) for DS that all my younger siblings were really addicted to. I think it concentrated on sim and maybe RTS elements (I remember something about moving on hexigons).
Sorry, if this doesn't help, but it sure has been nice to remember fondly this childhood show.
Those were cool, but I REALLY enjoyed playing "curling" against the penguins on DW1.Also, it has cool card battle side activity. Remember those?
Same here.Zorgfin said:I'm glad that I made you feel warmth in your heart, because it returns back warmth to my heart as well.
Hum, will look into it, but it seems they didn't change the combat system... it was ok for the time, but looking at the PSP videos it just looks retarded now, massive digimons dancing around a small space until they decide to attack, in a really slow & lame RTwP system...lightbane said:Also, Digimon World 1 received a remake for the PSP.
you can kind of catch new ones for the party, there are also some evolutions that count as new digimonsDigimon World 3 is a good one also, it's flaw is that you can't catch digimons, and you have to play with the same 3 digimons.
but our Playstation soon broke down due to playing it too much.
It overheated basically. Anything overheats.you can kind of catch new ones for the party, there are also some evolutions that count as new digimonsDigimon World 3 is a good one also, it's flaw is that you can't catch digimons, and you have to play with the same 3 digimons.

Yup, the guys nailed awesome mentality:this shit was way cooler than pokemon
You know, that awkward japanese FRIENDSHIP... how they keep constantly talking about how they are bros and must work together and BFF and whatever... at least as a BR it always sounded retarded, I've been more friendly to people I've talked while waiting in lines than those kids are after 2 seasons of life changing experiences...nakama cliche?
