Let's Play - Shin Megami Tensei/Digital Devil Story (SFC/SNES) - Chris2Balls [:B] - 07-11-2014 Today I'll start my first Let's Play, with Shin Megami Tensei. It's also the precursor to the Persona series. It's a game I've wanted to play for a while, and discovering Aeon Genesis's English patch has made me finally decide to give it a go. It's a game which takes its premise from the novel Digital Devil Story by Aya Nishitani: demons invade our world through computers, and using your computer is a pivotal aspect of the game, allowing you to communicate with demons, checking the map, etc. It's a first person role playing game, like an old-school dungeon crawler. One could say this game is proto-Pokémon, but its demon-aquiring system is a bit more intricate: you can bully, seduce or buy a demon to your side. Once they are in your party, you have to sustain them with Magnetite, and summon them for a fee. Anyway, let's get started! Cue mysterious music. I am in a pink labyrinth, which distorts. I make a couple of step forwards when suddenly: [spoiler=Who dares attempt to pass this place!] [/spoiler] I'm going to be honest, I'm useless at finding names for my characters. [spoiler=Identify thyself!] [/spoiler] [spoiler=That is my name.] [/spoiler] [spoiler=I have dormant power.] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avocado [/spoiler] RE: Let's Play - Shin Megami Tensei/Digital Devil Story (SFC/SNES) - Vipershark - 07-11-2014 Oh man, I'm a bit into this game right now and while I'm not a fan of first person dungeon crawlers, I must say SMT is surprisingly good. RE: Let's Play - Shin Megami Tensei/Digital Devil Story (SFC/SNES) - Chris2Balls [:B] - 07-14-2014 The introduction to the game is rather long, so there'll probably be one more post like this and then it should be a lot lighter. Continuing my foray into this labyrinth. [spoiler=Great, another opportunity to find a name] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hass_avocado Something I haven't mentioned is that each character has "dormant power", ie given 18 points to share along 6 criteria: STG, INT, MAG, STM, ATK, and LCK. [/spoiler] [spoiler=HASS awakens] I'll hazard a guess and say a watermelon. You are no ordinary avocado. [/spoiler] [spoiler=HASS has joined the party] FINE. [/spoiler] [spoiler=More naming] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brogden_(avocado) I'd feel the same if a demon sat on my back. [/spoiler] [spoiler=BROGDEN whines and joins the party] Well, there was this demon sitting on you... Somehow I think you're mistaken. [/spoiler] [spoiler=Don't tell me I have to give yet another name] [/spoiler] [spoiler=Knock, knock.] Joke: ruined [/spoiler] [spoiler=This is too good to be true...] FUCK [/spoiler] [spoiler=Trust Mother to be a killjoy] No! Was this a dream?! [/spoiler]
