Just bought a pile of cheap games. Which should I play first?
I know some people who absolutely love Alpha Protocol, but I just didn't have the patience for the (pardon the term) jankiness of it. Great writing, though. I can't speak for the other games.
I chose Knight's Contract because I picked it up on the cheap recently as well. Along with Eat Lead, Enchanted Arms, Eternal Sonata, Ninja Blade, Otomedius Excellent, and Project Sylpheed.
No, I don't hate myself, I just wanted to get a bunch of the weird Japanese games from early in the generation...and Eat Lead was like $5, so why the hell not?
The only one I have any experience with is Alpha Protocol, and I think that game is shit.
So I'm basically no help here. ;3
Beat as many missions in ACV as you can without getting frustrated and then move on to Alpha Protocol I guess.
@Fattony12000: That's the main reason I bought it to be honest. I've beat all of it (including the arena boss) and my save was right in front of the last area door on the world map. I guess I can just mainline it this time since I've already seen it all.
I don't have the save anymore sadly.
@Yadilie: What does the "worst section in videogames" entail? This intrigues me, as this game is not all of sonic '06, so I kinda don't believe you.
@charlie_victor_bravo: I'm used to slogging through early sections of games to get to the good parts. 20 years of conditioning I suppose.

Damn it, Infinite Undiscovery won't install. Back to the store I go!
I'll never understand how people can get even a single scratch on a disk, let alone render it unreadable. Fucking peasants.
If they give you another copy, give it a chance. The story is painfully bad for the first half (maybe more), and only gets tolerable after that, but it had great dungeons and a decent combat system.
@SlashDance: I've already played it before and really enjoyed it. They've got another copy coming from another store in a few days.
I really liked the combat system, the characters aren't too bad and I enjoyed the bonus objectives on some missions, kind of a nice idea for an extra challenge if you want it.
@Canteu:
This isn't in the vein of just poorly made game with shitty programming it's just poorly thought out game mechanics. But without spoiling anything really, it's just you use the witch to kill things and the knight to weaken them. At one point it's just the Knight for a little bit and on the highest difficulty it takes fucking FOREVER to kill things. And you can't go forward until you kill things. But the Knight can't die. So it's just this long game of hacking and slashing and repeatedly ressurecting yourself.
Also those super fast QTEs in boss fight on highest difficulty. Ugh... uuuuuugh... that fucking final boss that I had to refight like 50 times because of that.
@Canteu:
I know I'm a bad person. I platinumed the game after all. Sadly on a friends jailbroken PS3. Sooooo, somewhere down the line I'm going to have to rebuy the game. The game really isn't that bad and gets a lot of shit for no reason, in my opinion. And people who call it an escort game are just delirious and don't understand shit about the witch. It's like they played up until they met her and just quit, aka first 30 minutes.
I say Knights Contract because you have no idea what it is. I don't know either, but I'd try that game first to see if it's anything worth going on.

Ah, that's a big problem with my plan then!

Lost Odyssey, because I've actually played it.
It's... long. and it's definitely a game. Give it a try sometime ya big jerk!
@Canteu: What can I say? I'm a sadist! Actually when I saw AC5 on there, I realized I've been wanting to play that. I'm gonna really go with that and probably pick it up myself today.
Aww, sorry then! :P@LevelUpAdrian: I like AC :( In fact V is the only one I've not played.
I can't stand AC.
