/jp/ - Otaku Culture

I'd prefer madoka a shit thread

Nani?

Okay, I have the first game and I can't play for heavens sake I mean I'm really really, crap at this game. I'm in the first cave and I don't know what the flip I'm supposed to be doing and these giant hungry ants keep diminishing my confidence of getting just about anywhere.

>>7835093
Let's talk about how shitty and boring is Rune Factory Oceans.
Crops growing by themselves using MAGIC, Monster slavery, isy modo grind-based fighting, stupid plot and most annoying of everything, removing any kind of romantic involvment, which is the main selling point of this fucking game serie, until the game ends.
I'm glad I didn't import it, now I just need a 3DS and RF4.

I just started playing Rune Factory Frontier and I think I already know which girl I am going for...!
She is so kawaii...

>>7835093
I suggest you use cheats for the runey system.
Trust me.

Was there ever a fix for the Lava Ruins bug on the RFF undub? My game still crashes there.

>>7835137
Seriously play with a code to max runeys. Bad mechanic is bad.

>>7835124
You could try 3 instead if the game is too daunting for you, since it is pretty easy to pickup, has fun tutorials for everything(the practical type of tutorials, they give you things to do stuff and send you to do said stuff explaining you how to do it). Also, it doesn't force you to take TOO much effort in any mechanic, if you don't like a specific one.

I cheated my way through this game.

Then I realized cheating is pointless in a farming game, fucked Raven, and stopped playing.

>>7835201
Man, I'd seriously take Runeys over the shit 'farming' Oceans has.

does anyone else really hate the "x general thread" thing that's gotten popular in the last year or so? it's automatically assumed that you can reply with any posts related to the op subject. along with misuse of greentext this is my number one complaint regarding the shitty quality of this place.

I still can't bring myself to finish RF3, even tho I started doing high level runs in the last Sharance dungeon, that is FFFFFFF hard. I really have to decide on a girl too, even tho my first pic is still Pia, but I really like Sofia, Shara(despite many people considering her boring), and Raven. By the way, is it me or the game is a bit unfair to Kuruna? By the time you meet her, or even worse, are able to do shit with her, you're probably already set on some other girl.

I have to say tho, the game has a pretty amazing lineup.

>>7835253
Well, it's just one way to keep the board clean and make it clear what we're talking about that subject in 'general', and not a particular aspect of it. Also, if it's a Rune Factory thread someone will post it, so might as well get done with it.

This series is becoming a regular Harvest Moon. Hope they make a 3D version.

>>7835303
Well, since 4 is on 3DS, it seems likely.

>>7835277
but it's a completely meaningless label. the op could have posted with the exact same comment and the exact same image, only without the text, and everyone would have responded the same way. how is anyone going to misinterperate a thread that says "talk about X" with a picture of X? and even if the discussion does go expand from the original subject, who the fuck cares? this isn't some forum where moderators will move posts for being off topic.

>>7835212
Gonna give it a go before I start pursuing any virtual means of playing the third game. As a rule I try to at least force myself through any game I'm playing until I've painted myself into a corner.

>>7835253
>does anyone else really hate the "x general thread" thing that's gotten popular in the last year or so?
honestly, i do not give a shit

>>7835253
>does anyone else really hate the "x general thread" thing

/a/

All the girls in RF3 were great, but I went with Sofia. I thought she was extremely cute, and I hated the reverse-talking at first, but it sort of grew on me, and I liked how the MC understood it without a problem as the relationship progressed.

By the end, I thought she was just downright adorable. I want to take her at night, and gently make love to her in the dark. She would act normally at first, moaning "no" and "don't" in reverse. As we both near our climaxes, though, in her excitement she accidentally drops her pattern. In her frenzy, she confesses how good it feels and screams out when she's coming. After we both finish, she'd lie there exhausted, nearly in a daze, and when we kiss, she plainly tells me she loves me. A few minutes later, as I'm about to say good night, she realizes her mistake, and stammers out a cover-up, saying how bad it felt and how she hates me. I'd kiss her again and smile before we both slip into a satisfied sleep.

>>7835127
Is Oceans really that bad? Elaborate a bit more? I was hyped back when it was originally announced but didn't hear much after that.

>Is Oceans really that bad?

No its not. The "THEY DUMBED DOWN THE FARMING" fags just love to exaggerate. If you liked RF3 you'll like RFO/Tides of Gundam SEED Destiny or whatever the fuck they're calling it.

>>7835253
Pros:
- It's somewhat good for organization when dealing with our lack of mode=cat
- It prevents obnoxious, whiny assholes from having any excuse to not hide the thread.

Cons:
- This is a fucking image board, not (insert derogatory forum name). This is a big fucking con.

Also it's quite sad that Oceans is apparently pretty bad, I had higher expectations after RF3 and it feels like they've stomped all over. Too often it feels like developers take strides forward then decide to jump a mile backwards for no apparent reason.

Sofia is probably the moest girl in any game ever. I love her.

I can't fap to anyone but Sofia anymore. It feels like betrayal to look at any else

As I said before, while Sofia grew on me, I still like titty ditz moe mermaid more. I remember going out in the rain specifically to see her going around, and she was all "Oh, by the way I'm a mermaid" and she was around in mermaid form once in a while after that. Also, she has some of my favorite deliveries.

The one girl I couldn't really get into was Carmen, but I was told that her best events are later in the relationship, and people who like her tend to say she's leagues ahead of everyone else.

Played Oceans on PS3...got bored after a couple hours. Was nothing like RF3 :|

>>7836161
> :|

Get out

I think mostly is the fact that everything she says seems nonsensical but makes sense from a fish's point of view.

By the way, Rune Factory 3 is coming out in europe this month, for anyone who hasn't pirated/imported a game that came out in english last year. Remember that it might be vital to the future of the franchise in the old continent.

>>7836169
No :v Why you jelly I can play moon games while you wait 3 years for someone to bring it over to amerikkka

>>7836155
Carmen is your standard tomboy that's embarrassed by showing/being shown affection, but yeah she's pretty cute when it happens.

Also she comes bundled with Carlos.

>>7836223
is she a rape victim?

>giving away gifts you get from your waifu or selling them
I seriously hope you guys don't do this
Always says locked safe in the storage box

Don't have the translated version of this one.

Is it just me or are the dungeons in Frontier ridiculously hard? I just grinded 23 levels in a row and still can't see how I'm supposed to beat that goddamn snake.

I had absolutely no problems in RF3.

>>7836255

>>7836362
Pia wants in on that

>>7836362
how do you shake an entire tree

>>7836385
When a man loves a woman very much

>>7836262
They did it on purpose so the game seems longer, like those fucking Runeys.

>>7836262
In RF3 I had no problems UNTIL THEY STARTED LEVEL SCALING IN THE LAST DUNGEON OH GOD WHAT IS THAT THING I DON'T EVEN.

you wouldn't fuck a rune factory

Stupid pineapple seed is too damn rare.

>>7836223
Some of those edits are actually pretty good.

On a side note, a good fellow in /a/ posted this link to a short manga, that he hosted himself.

http://www.mediafire.com/?wd1cxxxw3ndblk9

Shara is pretty scary when you cheat on her. Her yandere side doesn't show often, but when it does...

I think that we call all agree hurricanes are the worst thing about RF3 and the reason spring is the best season.

>blooms in 120 days

>>7836606
There is NO WAY this can go wrong.

I thought it was weird that the engagement ring wasn't made with a diamond, I had one stored away for ages until I needed it and then never did.

Is the custom slightly different in japan or something?

Shara had the worst after marriage persoanlity
immediately turns yandere

No love for tuna?

The only real complaint I had about RF3 was that the marriage animated cut scene focused a lot on Flower Girl.

Even though I picked Carmen.

>>7836718
those drills

>>7836718
Bianca felt like a failed tsundere. Too little tsun but does have an attitude with a lot of dere.

No love for Shinonome and Hazel ? Outrageous !

Am I the only one who feels that there is a severe lack of monstergirls this time around?

I think it's the small details that make those games. Like Hazel's liking of diamonds, that is the reason they're the only gem her daughter doesn't like, or the fact that Sofia gets healed by super fails.

That, or the fact that despite what they claim, every girl is completely crazy.

>>7836778
I'm more amazed no one has raged on the fact Evelyn isn't an option, yet.

>>7836943
we've been there, felt that already several times over.

>>7836718
what game is that? I don't recognize it. that wouldn't be from oceans would it?

>>7837778
Frontier.

why is Micah always dead when it comes to Daria? is it supposed to be a joke or something?

>>7838056
she's an elf, so she'll out live him by hundreds of years.

>>7836992

HOW?

A boy died in 1932 by a homicidal murderer. He buried him in the ground when he was still alive. The murdered chanted, "Toma sota balcu" as he buried him. Now that you have read the chant, you will meet this Iittle boy. In the middle of the night he will be on your ceiling. He will suffocate you like he was suffocated. If you post this, he will not bother you. Your kindness will be rewarded.

>>7837778
Frontier, it's on the Wii.

A random thought struck me last night: remember that scene in RF3 where you remember your real name and it's the one you registered the DS under?
What if you were borrowing your friend's DS and then when it turns out the main character wasn't you all along, just your friend who thought he was you, and now unless you restart the game you have to keep playing and watch your friend get the waifu you worked for

>>7838187
I am sick of this NTR fad.

>>7838187
Don't save.
Restarts your DS.
Change the name.
Continue from your last save.

I don't know if this will work, but I hope so.
It would suck if the devs grabbed the name off the DS when you first began the game.

So many good options.

bumping to save sugoi JRPG thread

Needs more Carlos in a box.

Those comics are pretty bad, but I still like them.

Sure, why the fuck not here, RF threads are always good anyway.

Why is Melody the best waifu in the games?

>>7844949

That's a strange way to spell Anette.

Her only flaw was being in the worst game of the series

I want more waifu games like this

>>7845012
>Frontier
>Worst game
You spelled "Best game" wrong.

Whine more about Runeys, I didn't have problems.

the beginning in RF1 and RF2 kind of threw me off after seeing the smoothness in RF3. I was being spoiled, right?

>>7845012
>Frontier
>Worst game
You spelled "Best game" wrong.

Whine more about Runeys, I didn't have problems.

it's not that hard to figure out, you can get a nice balance while the only Runeys that may give you problems are the Grass ones.

>>7845037
You should have started with the older games, it's hard to go back.

On the other hand, girls in one (or better Frontier, because they hardly did anything in 1) and 2 are kind of better than the ones in 3, in my opinion.

Are they ever going to make the combat system suck less ass? The games are great apart from that.

>>7845012
That's a strange way of spelling Toona. Kuudere is always and forever god-tier.

>>7845055
It seems oceans added more combos, skills and aerial combat, or it looked like that in the trailer.

Has someone here played it already?

>>7845062
Relevant to my interests.

>>7845061
too bad /jp/ hates Kuudere because they are too popular.

>Tides of Destiny comes out on the 28th in NA
It looks a bit shitty though.

>>7847276
What are you smoking? It was the only Rune Factory thus far that hasn't been garbage. I was ready to give up on the series before it came out.

>play RF3
>use cheat to max out RP

>>7836262
>Is it just me or are the dungeons in Frontier ridiculously hard?
Yeah, Frontier is pretty hard. I ended up quiting the game because Runey system was just annoying to maintain. I'd continue the game with a cheat to set runeys to normal and never change.

>>7847311
Why would you even do that?

I took my time playing RF3. Married Karina the 2nd year of spring. I tried to get all the cooking recipes and grind my other crafting skills.

I just started RF3 today. When do you a forge and workshop to make equipment?

>>7847344
I think you reach a certain point in the story when your treehouse grows bigger. Then you can buy the forge and workshop stuff.

Scary stories are fun.

>>7847352
I think it was after you beat the first boss (a tanuki, I think), and saw the scenes which will lead you to the desert village.

Who's your favorite character to use in multiplayer mode in RF3? Some of the girls seem to be quite faster than Micah, while others get pretty solid boosts even from cheap items. Since I don't like losing ingame time, I usually do the random dungeons like that, but I'm really having troubles with the last one, given that I have to solo it and enemies level scale. I probably need some better setup or to try using magic that's apparently overpowered.

What is your favorite way to make money, btw? I hear many people like to fish, but personally I'm partial to grinding cooking and making rice porridge.

>>7848154

Mixing.

>>7848154

I just put anything that isn't nailed down into the collection box.

>>7848154
always Salted Salmon & Rice. both are super easy and cheap to get, let's you make money out of NOTHING

>>7848183
oh, and at the beginning I just make some pickles turnip to get the cash needed for the frying pan etc.

>>7848154
I make drugs at my pharmacy and sell it.

>>7848191
now I'm imaging the guy running a meth lab out of his farm

>>7848183
Eh, that's not bad I guess, but who stocks salmon, Yue?

>>7848290
you go FISHING.
Fishing Factory 3

Does Daria scream "RAINBOW!" when she orgasms?

>>7848308

Yes

And she moans it the whole time leading up to it as well

>>7848296
Eh, I prefer to mass-craft from stuff I can buy. I need money for stats, since I'm too high level and level scaled monsters rape me. Maybe buying levelizers wasn't a good idea after all.

>>7848154
I enjoyed blacksmithing.

Its easy to train to stupid levels and it mkaes dungeons stupid easy.

(especially once you get ninja shoes and can farm super high grade shit on the island in the middle of the lake)

>>7848315
yeah fishing is mainly good at the beginning when you're just a broke bum and need money from nowhere

Off-topic but I ended up misreading "Tides of Destiny" as "Tales of Destiny." I got incredibly excited and then the disappointment sent in after the realization.

Bump, deal with it nerds.

>>7845061
kuudere a shit

>>7848308
she also hugs you tenderly afterwards

>>7853197
>you will never be hugged tenderly by your waifu

>>7848154

For RF3 i'm a fishing fag

I grew to like the timing it required to pull it off and besides,as soon as I saw how much the very first fucking fish went for I was hooked. Seriously in universe they must have an extreme fish shortage. IRC even from the most shit of fishes net you like 1000-500 Gold for each one. Thats pretty crazy.

Hell there are some Fish that even rivaled some of the Gems' prices. And Gems in the game sold for a ton.

Is there a female protag and male love interests in Rune Factory Tides of Destiny?

>>7853822
The male and females main characters fuck each other.

>>7853822
You play as both for a while then get to pick one, and can date the other one, from what I understand.

Anyone know where is the best place in fall to catch lover snappers?

do you think nepeta and equius are fucking in the dreambubbles?

>>7854432
I think lover snapper can be caught everywhere, but with a low chance. Just look for large shadows.

>>7855168
Thanks for the info. I just got mines through the multiplayer dungeon. I just went and grind the hell out of the lvl120 dungeon till the chest dropped the lover snappers. Hell I got some end game armor from them too and made around 150k worth of stuff. No time limit, get to keep everything = fun.

>>7835130
You, sir, have excellent taste in waifus

>>7855460
Also being able to play as Daria and use the cheap colored herbs to heal is very practical.

>>7855460
The only thing I can't seem to get from random dungeons is a dragon fin. Since I want to get it pre-endgame, I'm afraid I'll have to resort to the online ranking points to get some. Also, the last dungeon is still hell in multiplayer mode.

I finally got a pineapple seed from the multiplayer dungeon along with a dragon fin in the lvl140 one.

For those of you who have emulated the Wii version of RF, what was it like? ie Did it run well or was it glitchy and had lots of graphical problems?

I'm one of those faggots who bought a Wii before realising Nintendo have abandoned their fans so I'm stuck with a wiimote I could use on Dolphin.

Pia's hips and chest are a miracle of the universe

>>7858231
I played it just long enough to see if it worked. Seems flawless so far, and runs at full speed on my rig (which is a couple of years old now).

>>7858318
I'm tempted to get some hardware to get the Wiimote to work on my PC and start emulating Wii games instead of buying. I'm having trouble finding a sensor bar that would work off USB or mains power though instead of batteries or the Wii.

>>7858377
Do you know how to solder? They're not hard to make.
http://www.instructables.com/id/USB-Sensor-Bar/

>>7858377
You can use two candles to simulate a sensor bar.

>>7858401
I know, but I want a sturdy enclosure that looks decent rather than something I threw together and stuck in place with duct tape.

I've ordered a cheap wireless sensor bar and plan on modifying it now so it runs off USB instead of batteries.

>>7858269

I wonder what exactly is the contrary to this.

>>7864298

She wants to love you tenderly

>>7864298

"I want to take you home and let my family graciously reward you for your efforts"?

Personally I kinda think thats a part where the translators just decided to have a fucking ball with the script. The "take you into the wilderness" is easy for me to get an opposite for but the rest is blah.

>>7861615

One of the moments in RF where I was glad its not fully voiced. I didn't even want to imagine that shit in my head when she did that.

>>7864521
stop doing that you're ruining my favorite ones.

This one seems pretty obscure too. "I wish you a very happy and long life with every luck?"

>>7864337
Yeah, they definitely just went by ear at some point or another. Either that, or Micah is based vaguely on this guy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7movKfyTBII

>>7864337
>Personally I kinda think thats a part where the translators just decided to have a fucking ball with the script
Yeah, I don't remember anything like that in the original. It was mostly limited to shit like like/hate and single words, not walls of red text.

http://www.risingstargames.com/blog/limited-edition-harvest-moon-character-artwork-to-be-included-wi
th-orders-of-harvest-moon-and-rune-factory-titles.html

>>7859033
Update here, for the one person who cares. Cheapo wireless sensor bar came today and I got my dad to help me solder it to an old USB cable, works like a charm.

For those who might want to try this modding, cut off the end of the USB cable and what you want are red and black, ignore the green and white/gold (can't remember what the last one is), then solder them to the battery contact points. If you take the cover off the sensor bar you should see which battery point has a black wire leading to it and which has a red wire leading to it, solder black to black red to red.

>>7864521
I think the point is that they're to make your imagination run wild with whatever she could possibly be implying. Which is honestly a pretty creative touch from the translators.

>>7864298
I can only assume it's something akin to

>I want to drag you into my bedroom and have my way with you! Repeatedly.

Usually I don't like it when translators take a lot of liberties like that, but I think this is one of the cases it works out pretty well (because hey, who doesn't like sexual innuendo in their E-rated farming simulator/hack-n-slash/dating sim?).

Is HM3DS going to be a port or a completely new game?

>>7865226
Unless it's a port of something before the PS2 era, it'll be shit.

All their newest Harvest Moon games have flopped. Island of Happiness was entertaining for a while but far too hard.

>>7865226
Eh, who cares. We have the first screens of RF4 and it looks glorious.
