I'm searching for an old RTS game, a bit like age of empires 1. It had a unit in it that would have 3 guys squashing berries with their feet in a building creating wine, that's basically the only thing I remember. Anyone knows the game?

Skies of Arcadia Anonymous 2016-07-07 20:22:06 Post No. 3343601 [Report] [View this topic]

So I'm playing Skies of Arcadia and I've managed to make it to the half-way point according to my journal and so far it's a mixed bag for me.

I really like the characters and the setting. And it looks beautiful, no complaints about any of those. The battle system is pretty cool too. I really like how magic usage is so much more lenient in contrast to other RPGs. I'm a big fan of SP, it relies more on tactics rather than balanced usage of magic/special skills throughout your journey. I love how you can just fully heal your ship without being set back all that much by doing so and being able to use lambda burst/rain of swords on random encounters and not be hindered at all.

But I've gotta say, I'm seriously disappointed by how much involvement the people you recruit into your crew actually has in the game. They do so little! I just came off of playing Shining force (another sega RPG) and coming into this game I expected to order my crew around in at LEAST ship battles... But their only purpose is either to provide a passive skill or a one-time bonus. Very sad.

Another complaint is that the battles drag on for so long... So very very very long. You're waiting more for animations to finish rather than thinking about what to do next.

But other than that I like the game very much. What are your thoughts on the game, /vr/?

I want to like Skies but I dropped it early because the encounter rate mixed with the length of battle and amount of exploration you gotta do just made it infuriating for me.

If Sega released a PC port with the option to lower it I'd buy it in a heart beat.

What's more infuriating is that if you decide to run away from battles you get penalized for it by having your title go down.

It's really funny.

My fiancees two favorite retro rpgs are Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2. I like SoA a bit myself, but we both prefer Legends. She beat SoA about 7 times now. I have only beat it on DC and GC once each.

Not much to say except the game was good. Better when you remember what it was being released along side.

English dubbed unfortunately. I'm not too fond on the voice actor, but beggars can't be choosers. It's still amazing they managed to actually make it though.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=diowlUh8-Pk

Here's a video from last year, don't know if the audio changed since.
Also goddamn the audio files are over 2GB.

What was up with EA's obsession with 5fps early 3D flight sims?

They're everywhere on PC and Genesis. I guess they must have been big sellers despite the shit performance.

I can understand what you mean though, the games were too advanced for the hardware they're designed at the time

The CD addon has some of the best games of the library.

To play all of them you'd need to get the upgrade card. the duos (versions of the consoles with the cd addon built in) already have the card, so those are your best bet unless you really feel like buying 3 seperate things.

the pc-engine has a shit ton of great shmups if you're into those, and niche stuff like dating sims. splatterhouse and rondo of blood are also both must plays.

Post old school gaming related art. Anything goes, from in-game screenshots to box/cabinet art to pinball backglass to arcade flyers to ads to original art. If it's classic gaming related and it looks cool then let's see it.
