Well I'm 1 car away from completing the chopshop activities

still can't find the damned thing

I never even started chop shop, it remains the one I'm really not looking forward to, as I imagine it's similar to Hitman.

Well i really really enjoyed it, just finding some cars was really difficult. My best suggestion would be is to attempt it after all the gangs are done. If you need to find a car and have a customised one in your garage, drive round in that and you'll find they appear more regularly.

I'm still searching for mine with not much luck

I've not touched Saint's Row much but I do like it and intend to play it more soon. Taking it with me this weekend so might get a chance then.

How are you finding Enchanted Arms Daz?

Daz · 16-02-2007, 13:05

The camp **** is annoying me already, and I only played a quick 15 minutes

Not sure I like the way dialogues are played out, though I'm sure the Japs lap it up. The battle system and encounters in general will make or break it for me I reckon.

Haly · 16-02-2007, 13:10

I just didn't notice the camp bloke

I must be odd

Not wishing to spoil anything but he won't bother you too much soon

The dialogue issue is a bit odd, you do get used to it though. And you're right, it is the battle system that does it I think. It just feels more strategic to me than in some other RPGs.

Which is why I think it'll hook me, I do enjoy the strategy of battles. Which is probably why I enjoyed FF8 so much, mastering the junction system for various scenarios just had a little more to it for me than materia combinations did. Not that I didnt enjoy that of course

*mutters*
Materia > Junction

*takes off FF7 fanboy hat*

Daz · 16-02-2007, 13:15

It was better from an accessibility and gameplay point of view, but it ultimately wasn't as flexible as the junction system

Though with that flexibility came a level of complexity which I can understand some people did not prefer.

Haly · 16-02-2007, 13:17

Nah you're right :/ The junction system was easy to perfect though and get 100 of everything. But then again you could argue the same of the materia system with mastering them.

I'd say FF10 had it right with the sphere grid personally.
