Ican't say I'm a huge fan of SMT as I've only played one so far - Lucifer's Call (Nocturne) - and it took me a while to work it out but I did enjoy it. I have DDS 1 & 2 and have been told these are better so I'm looking forward to playing them, when I have time!
One major problem I had though - for some reason my game kept freezing in the third kalpa. In the end I had to go rent the damn thing to do that kalpa. I don't know what the problem was as there were no scratches on my disc but hey, I managed to finish it. |

it is a common problem for people who play the PAL version, every copy seems to have it (I think shin also had the same problem, as did I). It sucks alright, but if you use the item that reduces encounters, your chances of it occuring is rather low, and once you get past that point, it will not happen again.
|
So, about Devil Summoner, anyone have any impressions on it yet? I was in the game store this weekend and decided to get Okami over it. And holy crap, why is everything I want coming out at the exact same time this year. Have hardly bought anything all year and in the past two months have picked up Disgaea 2, XS3, VP2, Okami, FFXII right around the corner. I would normally just snatch it up, it being a Megaten game hitting US shores, but I need to know if it's worth it in this busy game season.

It's good, I mean... it's really good. If you're a fan of the Sin Megami Tensei series you have to get this one. It's a bit on the lighter side for them, but it's still very demonic. And the combat system is real-time which is a switch up for them, but they managed to pull it off quite well.
As to whether to pick it up over some of the others that are coming is a hard question for anyone to really answer. However I can say two things. First is that it depends on your priorities. Second is that it's an Atlas game which never stays in production all that long, unlike FFXII which will still be in production ten years from now. Either way though, if you do decide to get Devil Summoner I can assure you that you won't be disapointed ^^ |
I downloaded it and looks pretty good..haven't gotten far though. About the battlesystem..hmmm i love the comments of the demons but i'm not digging the battlesystem..i rather have the old turn base system. As for the graphics,they are worse then Nocturne IMO. But like i said i'm not far,...
|
I don't know about the graphics being worse. The art style, while similar it is still different from that of Nocturne and DDS. Devil Summoner might not have as much texture to things as previous titles, but the lighting and original character design more then make up for it to me. But hey, I'm an RPG fan and as long as it's original, has a good storyline, and fun gameplay I'll tuff out the sub-par thing here or there ;) (However Magna Carta was just unplayable... but is so beautiful at the same time... like a rose with thorns)
|
I've never played any of the Shin Megami games, but I thought Devil Summoner was pretty fun. It's an interesting style, and the random battles don't happen too often where it gets annoying. The graphics are decent, I thought. I like the style, and the overall mood is kind of light hearted. I don't have much to compare to, but as a standalone game it was good. I only played for a few hours though. If you're a fan of the series I don't see why you wouldn't like it.
But compared to Okami, I probably would have gotten Okami too :) Although Atlus games are hard to come by. |
So far I love Devil Summoner. I played the Digital Devil Saga games and I have to say I like Devil Summoner a little better. DDS had a REALLY big problem with the encounter rate. It was WAY too high! I like the moderation Devil Summoner has. The battle system change is also kind of nice.
To be honest, I really love all of the Shin Megami Tensei games specifically for their storyline and the character development. The battle systems and every detail of the game are really amazing as well. I just really love the storylines! Danny |
I finished up Devil Summoner today and I gotta say I liked it alot. I'll run down some pros and cons of it in spoiler tags.
Also, Im surprised nobody else is playing this. I thought this thread would skyrocket when the game got realeased. Pros. Spoiler:
Cons. Spoiler:
Double Post: Also, the cover is shiny :) |
I think it's just there was a pretty large influx of solid releases lately. I picked this up, and I fully intend on playing it... but I just finished Abyss, need to play FFXII and then BK:O before I can even consider touching it.
|
I got it a while back, and I absolutely love it. Very Shadow Hearts-ish in its atmosphere of "East Asia and demons" and pre-rendered backgrounds, so that was kind of cool.
The combat can kind of drag just because Raidou's melee moves are just a three-hit combo, a thrust, and a charged spin attack. I would've liked a little more, but I still feel compelled to play it. |
So uh, may I bump this thread instead of creating new one to continue discussion?
Even though I only played two persona games (IS & EP), I really enjoy shin megaten series. The Persona III system looks very promising, it's like a fusion of Shin Megaten RPG and love sim I guess. Has there been any news about Persona III English version? I've been browsing for awhile to find all info about the game, but all I could find is TBA. Also, could someone direct me where to find the rom of Shin Megaten I in SNES? It seems mine is corrupted, I couldnt continue after I enter the main character's room. |
The game was recently pushed back to June here in the US. Which can be good news since they announced a director's cut version of the game in Japan and its possible we might get that version. Much like how we got the Maniacs version of Nocturne. Atlus USA hasn't said if they will or not but encouraged people on their forums to express interest if you really want to see it. Unlike certain companies I won't name they actually will listen to feedback. *cough Square Enix*

BK is always the bearer of bad news.

I'm pretty sure the "Special Edition" refers to the art book and soundtrack that are packaged with the game. EB/Gamestop is the only store I've seen call it that, and they're the ones with the pack.
|
Actually it was IGN I saw reffering to it as special edition.
|
Really, though, I can't believe this is coming out this month. The game has been pushed back so many times I started to wonder if it was coming at all. It took a year for Atlus to localize the game and it doesn't even come with the FES expansion. ... That's alright. T_T
|
I know this is a pretty big necro bump but I don't feel like this deserves it's own thread. I did feel like it was worth sharing with people though, so I'll post it and you can lock it down or delete my post if I did something bad.
Buy Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne (PS2) - Order Now! Seems like Atlus reprinted some copies of Nocturne so if anyone out there wants a copy without paying 70~120+ bucks now is the time to order it. I've already seen people whoring this at amazon/ebay by buying copies in bulk from the site (and trying to double the price) so I'm not sure how much longer the game will even be in stock. :( |
