So of course you fight Rasputin.



But if you want to talk about some newer Jurps, like some dumb fuckboy carpool party, go ahead. I'll be over here with the Spin Ring 10 doing sick DPS with my butterfly dracula luchadore.

    one of his regular attack animations is him suplexing his weapon

    his weapon is




    whatever he finds

    he finds weapon upgrades in mini events that involve him admiring something that is definitely not a weapon(mail boxes, giant tuna) and taking it with him

    I'm trying to think how the mail box event went

    "wait. this is a nice mail box"
    "huh?"
    joachim pulls it out of the ground and carries it with him
    "aren't you supposed to be a hero? that's stealing"
    "nevermind that"

  • SyphyreSyphyre A Dangerous Pastime Registered User regular
    If you can't get your hands on Shadow Hearts Covenant, you have to find an LP because the game is in the perfect zone of off the rails but not so much it feels too dumb/weird to play.

    Also I love the combat in the game.

    Shadow Hearts 2 is the best Jurp of all time.

    I never even played the original.

    Great battle system.

    Great story.

    Great characters.
    And the female lead ends up being YOUR MOM, WHICH IS BOTH HILARIOUS AND SUPER-AWKWARD WHEN THEY FIND OUT.

    Best Jurp Shadow Hearts 2. We don't need anymore Jurps guys. Just remake this game over and over.

    I think I've played this Shadow Hearts thing

  • Lavender GoomsLavender Gooms Tiny Bat Registered User regular
    Shadow Hearts 2's ending blew my mind, and I never even played Shadow Hearts 1.

    Shadow Hearts 3 was a disappointment.

    Is a western-style but japanese-made game considered a jurp? Or is it a wurp? Or is it a wurpjurp?

    Because I'll take any opportunity to talk about Dragon's Dogma that I can....

  • gtrmpgtrmp Registered User regular
    the dog would easily be the best character in Shadow Hearts: Covenant if not for the gay vampire superhero luchador

    i would say that dragon's dogma is a jurp/action game

    it's riiiiight on the jurp cusp though

    Blind Judgment Ring ALL DAY. I remember powering up the earth form late in the game and discovering that I really liked its powers, which annoyed me that I hadn't chosen it earlier.

  • RadiusRadius Registered User regular
    I'm glad Shadow Hearts took the combat from Legend of Dragoon and made it better, because goddamn it was wasted on that game.

    What if I throw in the j-rock intro music, that's like bonus points right?

    Apparently they belong to Aruze, the Japanese publisher

    which is a pachinko company.

    I don't want to start things off with controversial discussion (wait, or do I?), but I found Shadow Hearts 2 to have one of the worst representations of a primary female character.
    "Oh well, I can't score with Yuri so I guess I'll go fuck his dad".

    "Hey, so I know you need a change of clothes, but all we could find was extra hand-me-downs from the doll that clearly will not fit you properly. That cool?"

    You could probably argue that it was made to be as intentionally parodic as the rest of the game, but it sure didn't feel that way to me.

  • DragkoniasDragkonias That Guy Who Does Stuff You Know, There. Registered User regular
    I think the thing I always liked about Shadow Hearts was how it mixed the jRPG and horror genres, especially since that's a pretty rare combination.

    I mean the game wasn't super scary or anything but there were quite a few unsettling parts to it.

  • Cilla BlackCilla Black Priscilla!!! Registered User regular
    Dragon's Dogma is hell of Japanese and also an RPG so it definitely qualifies

    Bummer!

    They're great and worth tracking down some PS2 copies, since apparently an HD collection is not in the cards!

    I've been in the mood for some PS2 RPGs lately, namely Shadow Hearts, Xenosaga and the Dark Cloud games

    I will always hope for Dark Cloud 3

    I missed basically all of the last thread except for the last page and I just had to chime in here to agree that Agnes was the most annoying character ever.

    Obtuse to the point of inducing rage for the entire game, and her voice actor is the only one I've ever found irritating enough to selectively skip through one character's dialogue while listening to all of the rest.

    Seriously, that voice. Even remembering it now, as I type this post, makes me shudder.
