Shin Megami Tensei III Nocturne HD Remaster

[9/10] - Man, talk about a glow-up! ...I mean as an entry in a franchise, not as a remaster. The previous SMT games were a pain in the neck to get through, but Nocturne was [b]so[/b] much fun - it's the first title in the franchise that I [i]actually[/i], unequivocally, enjoyed playing. The star of the show is easily the Press Turn system. [b]God[/b] I love the Press Turn system. It's such a simple and easy to grasp evolution of turn-based combat, yet the depth it provides to battles helps make the experience feel so much more engaging. I keep hearing people say that Nocturne is [i]really[/i] hard and even claim it as "The Dark Souls of JRPGs", but I don't really see it? It's only particularly difficult if your strategy starts and ends with Brute Force (or you're playing on Hard, but at that point what did you expect). Come prepared, know what you're doing and victory is within your reach. Some ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ [i]can[/i] happen, but adapting and overcoming is how you move forward and it's [i]such[/i] a satisfying experience. Getting my ♥♥♥♥ wrecked by Matador and then coming back to stomp him into the ground with a party made specifically to counter him is probably one of my top 5 gaming memories. Visually? It's a treat as well. Nocturne is a very moody game, the environments and lighting doing a great job at setting the oppressive, otherworldly tone. You can tell it's a PS2 game at its heart, but the style itself is so distinct and ageless that it doesn't really impact the potency of the atmosphere in the slightest. Oh and the demons? Great! Love them. A high variety of designs - from cute and conventional to creepy and badass - all with 3D models and animations. You're bound to find a favorite. Coming across a new one through random encounters or fusion was always a pleasant surprise lol Where it falls a bit flat though is the narrative. The story itself isn't bad, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed it, it's just that... Replacing the Law/Neutral/Chaos paths with Reasons is a neat idea and provides new material for philosophical debates about one's own alignment, yeah, but I can't help but feel disappointed in how it was implemented. In SMT I & II, your alignment would change your experience in a way that wasn't [i]too[/i] groundbreaking, but still offered something new: differing bosses, exclusive equipment and allies, divergent story beats and so on. In Nocturne? You might skip a boss, hear a line or two of slightly altered dialogue and get a different ending cutscene. That's it. Replaying this game for the sake of collecting all of the endings (which you need to do if you want the corresponding achievements btw) became such a slog since there's so little replay value when compared to previous entries. [strike]True Demon georg is an outlier and should not be counted[/strike] Also it's pretty poor as a remaster. The music sounds like compressed ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥, while the pre-rendered cutscenes are completely untouched - still 4:3 and crusty as hell. The voice acting is nice at the very least... So, overall - SMT III: Nocturne is a great game and I love it to bits, despite the subpar "remaster". It's [i]so[/i] close to being straight up amazing, but misses the mark ever so slightly. Still, it's an unforgettable experience that will stick with me for a long while. If you love games with lots of character and don't mind being challenged from time to time, then I think it's well worth a shot! On a discount though. 50€‎ for a PS2 game that's been barely touched up is... crazy.

Смт 3 ноктюрн. Если вы задаетесь почему называется именно ноктюрн, то на самом деле все очень просто, это потому что [spoiler] RANDOM ENCOUNTER это настоящий кошмар [/spoiler] Thank you shin megami tensei [spoiler] russia [/spoiler] При поддержке данте из дьявол мочь плачь серия

Better than every persona game so far

不会推荐给别人，毕竟有些古早设计真的不够人性化，甚至称得上是繁琐/血压。 二周目继承的东西太少，祸魂技能不可重复获取也很难受，还有小地图等等…… MOD能解决以上所有问题，但**迦具土之塔解决不了。 我个人还挺喜欢的，氛围感、设计一致性和系统深度都很不错，还有用心的联动。 建议打折入别原价入。 [spoiler]但丁入队有点晚但强度足够，不能变身成二代真魔人有些可惜。 原本想走混沌结局，结果却意外选出了符合自己本意的结局，有意思……[spoiler]
