Atlus: A Mini Etrian Odyssey Update Video

Quests are awesome, aren’t they? They give you purpose, they reward you, and in RPGs, they’re often the heart of things. You know what’s just as good as a quest, maybe even a bit better? A side quest, that’s what. A side quest gives you choices. It lets you take a break from a game’s main story. It lets you further explore a world you’re really enjoying.

What are your feelings on quests and side quest management in games, Infendo?

Final Fantasy Tactics drives me crazy. I’ve still never managed to get all 300 due to missing quest items and whatnot. I definitely plan on picking up Etrian Odyssey III though.

Video games seek immunity from used sales, fail to see the irony

Used video games have been around since the early ’80s. But they weren’t a problem in the eyes of developers until the middle of the decade, at which point game sales weren’t growing as fast as they used to.

Rather than blame the safe creative bets, bloated budgets, and $10 HD surcharge (yes, many games carry an MSRP of $60 these days) for the decline, developers set their sights on used game sales.

Remember how hard F-Zero GX was?

Anyone complaining about the lack of difficult games recently obviously missed this discouraging hard GameCube game. After 15 attempts, I don’t think I ever made it past the second track. I haven’t picked it up since.

This was an awesome game. Sure, it took some time to get in the groove, but once you hit the zone, it was ridiculously fun. I agree though, tough, and not one you could just sit and play for 20 minutes at a time if you want to get anywhere.

The game is amazing… as long as you don’t play the story mode. It made me want to throw my Gamecube out the window.

Finishing F-Zero GX is definitely one of my proudest moments…

F-Zero is probably one of the only Nintendo game series I haven’t played yet! I should look for one of the earlier entries on the Virtual Console.

What an amazing game. This really gives me an itch to play again. I remember playing the 2nd to the last story mode level and thinking it was the end. Yeah, don’t think I ever got to beating the Actual final story mode level.

Yep, really great game, one of my favorites on gamecube.

Got nowhere in story mode. Had fun with it as a party game…though I came in last nearly every time.

If by “hard” you mean “fantastic”, then yes it was.

I had a hard time to get used to the control scheme. But once you master it, the game is much fun. I finished it once, IIRC, but never finished the Story mode (which is damn hard).

I don’t know if it is a Hoax, but it is said that you can unlock all racers and tracks of the AX version (the arcade counterpart of the GX) if you beat the game. It would be nice, though.

Best!

I couldn’t finish story mode. That one stage where both Blood Falcon and Black Bull have to be beat. Ugh. I must have played that over fifty times…

X-Play’s review had a very fitting reaction from Sessler when he messed up on a turn, it was similar to mine at times with the game.

Great game though. Great graphics, and an awesome soundtrack.

Story mode was the devil. The definition of “Nintendo hard”.
