Forums - Sony - Crisis Core: A word of advice to anybody picking it up

blaydcor on 25 March 2008

In short: If you don't want to play "Press X: The Game", play hard mode. Playing through (some of) an import, that was one of my biggest problems---it rarely required any strategy, and if it did it was pretty shallow.

 Hard mode fixes that for the most part. Basically, if you're buying the game, don't even bother starting a normal mode game. Just start out on hard. It will get pretty intense later on, but it's not like we're talking original DMC3 difficulty or anything.

Why.. you finished the game? Somehow I doubt that.

Wanna prove it?

List me your equiped Materia and I will believe you.

 

I will make it easy for ya, Just list your ATK, VIT, MAG, SPR, LCK number instead, those should be easier to find.

What rating would you give it?

Should anyone be surprised? It's a common 'problem' with real time battle systems in games that Nomura has any control over. The battle systems themselves can be light fun but they are in no way 'deep.'

Ok , thanks for the advice ... I will probably try and play it on hard first when I will get it :)

This game is fu*king frustrating on hard. I'm not familiar with the battle system and gameplay mechanics at all and the blocking and dodging does not respond as well as GOW:COO and DMC. And when i die, i have to watch entire cutscenes without the options to skip. Hard difficultly may be a good option for people that understand the intermediate mechanics and controls of the game, but it's not good for someone playing it for the first time.

 Difficulty levels in an RPG? This is nonsense! D:



Random game thought :
Why is Bionic Commando Rearmed 2 getting so much hate? We finally get a real game and they're not even satisfied... I'm starting to hate the gaming community so f****** much...

Watch my insane gameplay videos on my YouTube page!

 Trust me, I played about 60 hours of the game already in Japanese version. and I even find the later part of the "NORMAL" mode hard. I would recommend you to start over.

 

Use the first 3 hours of relative easy battles to learn the dodging system, you will need it, especially later on the game where they can kill you in 1 shot.

 

Also, learn the fusion system and item equipments. Play as many missions as you can.

Lol i just died at the beginning of Normal mode so i don't think i'll try the hard mode anytime soon xD

I just find the DMW system very complex and hard. I hope i'll understand it more and more as i play the game.

(BTW the US version feels harder than the Japanese one... :/ )
