[Deleted member 13557]

Just looked up. Geez.

Something about the main theme, man. So pretty.

Hey Mikey, where's your Dirge thread?

Hey Mikey, where's your Dirge thread?

LOL there is no Dirge thread. He skipped it.

Somethings you just gotta be there for, and he just watched the playthrough.

 

[Clement Rage]

And where's that start?

 

[Makoeyes987]

He didn't make a thread for the watching, he just did it.

Dirge is nigh impossible to emulate properly on a PC, so he couldn't play it, since lacking a PS2.

To be fair, for many of us, its the only way thats bareable. lol

Okay, that might be overly harsh on Dirge.

I got it when it was released, all excited for some new FFVII content and played shortly past where you rescued the kid from that container and then never picked it up again. It's very rare for me to abandon a game so quickly, and it wasn't even a concious decision. I didn't react with a "this is terrible, I'm not gonna play it", I just didn't continue it. But, it might not be that it was because its a terrible terrible game. It was that I wasn't feeling it, I just don't think the game itself was my thing.

I later watched a lets play to get the plot and it was OK, a bit ridiculous, but OK.

Considering Dirge was Square's first foray into making a 3rd Person Shooter, it's sadly unsurprising that it'd be rough around the edges. And it's got all the quirks and tropes a JRPG-esque game from 2006 would wear on its sleeve proudly. Very dramatic and very anime. They fucking put Gackt in there for some damn reason. With weird ass emoting and questionable dubbing at times.

But it amuses me to no end.

Nonexistent.

But I kinda wish I documented the feelings I had while watching a playthrough. It's certainly something.

I get the appeal, it's just not for me. If I wanted to play an edgy 3rd person shooter I'd just play DMC.

They honestly should've went in that direction with more RPG elements and specialized combat using Vincent's limit breaks than a straight by the book shooting game.

They could have made the online mode even more insane that way too.

The lovers are still at the station.

But this time, less "wow!"

 

[Deleted member 13557]

Did Cloud just envision the plate collapse?

 

[Deleted member 13557]

More ghostly black caped things.

Are these things tied to the reunion somehow?

 

[Shademp]

Flowers. Not even once.

 

[Deleted member 13557]

"Has been five years"

Cloud is just bad at math Tifa, don't worry about it

 

[Deleted member 13557]

Basically Cloud, that money is for Marlene's schoolin'

 

[Deleted member 13557]

They made Tifa look great.

Character design is pretty good so far.

 

[Deleted member 13557]

"That one's uh..."

Not suspicious at all

 

[Deleted member 13557]

Nevermind, Cloud can indeed do math.

Maybe worry now, Tifa

 

[Deleted member 13557]

That was awesome

 

[Deleted member 13557]

That shot of the clones gave me like, brain chills.

 

[Deleted member 13557]

Yes, Cloud thinks that he can "mosey" up in here.

 

[Deleted member 13557]

Weapon upgrades, cool.

Does this mean that the buster sword doesn't become really weak a few hours into the game?

Tifa with the shoryuken
