And this is why everyone who plays Ghost Trick, tells other people, "YOU HAVE TO FUCKING PLAY GHOST TRICK".
It's funny, moving, interesting, clever.
If you can't get a DS version, but have an apple device you have no excuse now: http://www.joystiq.com/2013/12/13/ghost-trick-phantom-detective-is-1-on-ios-in-the-name-of-holid/

So I just finished Ghost Trick. And I only have one to say to sum it up.

Ye gods.

by Archer Thu Dec 19, 2013 8:57 am

I didn't know you already started it. I guess you finished it faster than I did?

Anyway that's another in the gang.

That final chapter...

by Hunter Axel Thu Dec 19, 2013 1:56 pm

Oh I started it the day before yesterday. Decided to give the first couple chapters a shot since they were free.

Instantly hooked and bought the rest of the chapters.

Just when you thought you had things figured out, they throw in several more tweests! And then that final chapter, BAM! My head was kinda spinning after it all ended.

Although I saw that final rewind time a mile away, how we'd get to that point and solve it was something that I'd never have expected.

by Archer Thu Dec 19, 2013 3:49 pm

I didn't think the final rewind would be a thing since the limitation was four minutes before a person's death.

Just finished Dangan Ronpa.

It's a fun VN, and its "gimmick" is pulled off well. You will have plenty of despair if you play through this blind.

inb4 lol your taste is bad

inb4 you just don't get it

inb4 you're thinking about it too logically

I'm not in the mood to deal with stupid comebacks, nor actually type out all the problems both books had. I'm trying to forget how angry I am at myself for actually putting myself through this, and actually believing everyone that said "yeah well it gets better in book 2."
This isn't even a case of "you hate it so you think it's bad", it legitimately is terrible in numerous regards. The only reason I'd want to put up with this is if I was a monster girl fetishist, which I'm not.
Orion was smart to quit right after the first sex scene with Alice. This was honestly the most horrible gaming... or, "gaming" experience I've ever had in a long time.

Thanks for nothing.

Yeah yeah heard it last time.

by Hunter Axel Tue Jan 07, 2014 7:59 pm

Um, not sure why you're getting so mad. Sure it may have not been your cup of tea but wow you make it seem like we made you do something you didn't want to.

Here's my copypasta from VN chat.

Axel wrote:Not to stir up any hornets' nests but I guess I might as well say my piece. For the first part, I suppose for me that it felt like kind of a train wreck and had to stop somewhere, but eventually I came so far that I wanted to see how it'd end up. waifus and fetishes aside, I just like a simple story now and then. It doesn't have to blow me away but I guess I'm just a simple guy. Part 2 did feel better to me, the art was improved and the uses of the spirits seemed like a fun idea. By the time you get to the monster lord's castle, luka's pretty much thrown away nearly all his beliefs. Luka and Alice just feel like two good foils for each other yet are similar.

TLDR: Not sure how I ended up following MGQ but it was a simple and cheap thrill at the start. YMMV.

So yeah, simplicity, yada yada. Doesn't measure up to say Ghost Trick but it's really up to the individual.

by Archer Tue Jan 07, 2014 10:48 pm

I didn't even like it as a simple story. It wasn't just you guys, it was literally 99% of people who have played the game.

You think at the very basis I'd have a right to feel astounded that it didn't live up to its reputation at all.

by **Leo E.** Wed Jan 08, 2014 5:22 am

Everyone seems to love it except you. It's a game that even /v/ can agree on.

by Hunter Axel Wed Jan 08, 2014 8:37 am

I don't think that's much of a point.

Alpar has stated his opinion and while we don't see things his way, this isn't the first time someone here has not enjoyed a game a group of people gush about.

Last I checked, you weren't much of a Tales lover despite so many people enjoying the games so well.

So let's just stop here.

I hope you realize how much of a fallacious and outdated counter that is.

If you want me to type that essay on everything wrong with MGQ I'll do it.

by Hunter Axel Wed Jan 08, 2014 3:45 pm

Okay, okay you two. That's enough of that.

If we're all expected to match up to each others tastes, this community would've fallen apart years ago.

by Vatonnage Thu Jan 09, 2014 12:55 am

I feel like the Cabbage Man in Avatar: The Last Airbender, and this thread is my cart of cabbages.

Oh, and you guys are the main characters.
