October Modern Community Playthrough - Fragile Dreams

[Fleach]

I'm behind but not that far away from where I should be. I just made my way to the hotel. The way things are going I'll be nipping at everyone's heels just slightly behind them.

Crow was an interesting character, but he had many annoying moments when he taunted you. Personal opinion here, but a game shouldn't annoy players.

These aren't complaints, just things I thought the game could have done differently.

EDIT

Might just be me, but this game doesn't control as nicely using the Wii Remote on the Wii U game pad. Left accurate maybe?

Fleach, don't worry, You'll catch up if you put in a few solid sessions.

I finished the game last night. I have a solid checkpoint for week four that will come this weekend. I don't think I got all 50 memory items but I certainly wasn't trying.

For an action-JRPG with motion controls this game was actually solid as hell. Yes, there were moments where I got frustrated but they were minimal.

Enjoy the rest of the game everyone. There are some really cool moments coming up.

I agree Fleach, the Crow character was interesting, but that part of the story (i.e. the chase) was rather long, drawn out and boring. The rollercoaster was a neat idea, but the controls made that area more difficult than it should have been.  Still trying to figure out what these masked bosses are, but I guess that may come with time.

Overall, I think the controls are pretty decent. I do get tangled up on a few occasions, but I quickly right myself. Still have not started on part 3...... this has been a crazy few weeks for me, but I will finish.

Without revealing any spoilers, does Crow's backstory get fleshed out?

I'm enjoying the game so far, but motion controls are deal breakers at time for me. My impression is that the idea worked on paper but didn't translate as well to the game.

I've some time to play today so hopefully I'll get myself caught up.

Somewhat

You should have gotten some backstory if you made it to the hotel. From what I understand, you will come across Crow again in the game.

So far all I know about Crow is what he revealed when he showed Seto the photograph. It's foggy since all he really said was that he wants to find the place in the picture. This and...

Spoiler (hover to show)

That the majority of his lines are right of the pirate book.

This afternoon I made it to Room 301 and met Sai. My Wii Remote started going all wonky so I stopped playing.

Anyone else think Sai is the girl from the Torn Photo memory item?

Fave companion in the game! Just wait you will find out a lot more later.

How is everyone doing with the week three checkpoint? I forgot to mention this but after the checkpoint you'll have to play a teensy bit more to get to a bonfire, but I know ya'll would have figured that out.

Will we be ready for week four by tomorrow?

[Fleach]

My reading week starts Monday so I'll be able to power through the rest of the game.

Currently, I have to retrieve the star for kimono-girl (I forgot her name) so I'm not overly far behind.

[GrayGhost81]

It's a little late because of the site outage, but week four's checkpoint is up.

How's everyone doing? Haven't heard from anyone except Fleach in a while and he's been a little lagging.

[ericeskapade]

didn't have the time at the weekend, but i will resume from checkpoint 2 (maybe) directly to 4 on tuesday or wednesday... don't want to force myself into gaming mood, when it just isn't there

[Fleach]

Hot dog! I'm ahead of Week 4!

Where I'm a now... let's just say it involves heavy metal. Got to do some grinding in order to get passed this section.

[GrayGhost81]

@Eric: I totally understand that feeling. I hope you get back into it just in time to blow through to the end by next week. It's definitely worth finishing.

@Fleach: I knew you'd catch up!
