it has soul. the second one is even better but DDS 1 has the GOAT soundtrack
You only played the first one and not the second one where it completely goes to shit.
>completely goes to shit.
how so? Heat is done dirty in DDS 2 but thats about it
>Plot becomes an incoherent Hinduism allegory
>Entire last 10 hours of the game are the final dungeon with minimal new content and five seconds of story every floor
>Getting Heat in 2 requires you to be moronic in 1
The story in 1 was actually interesting so the direction it goes in 2 was a disappointment.
This. The writer wanted it to be longer.
last 10 hours of the game are the final dungeon with minimal new content and five seconds of story every floor
Forgot to elaborate that the game is only 30 hours long including that so it's a whole third of the game, unlike other SMT games which are generally closer to 80 hours long.
>completely goes to shit
You mean gets even better?
DANGER OF FALLING IN LOVE LIKE THIS
I love this song. The album it was pulled from is really good too.
My be my favorite album. What genre of music is it called? Or any other albums/groups similar to them? I absolutely adore their music and what more.
The broad term for it is downtempo though it has more influences than just that, such as d&b, trip hop and downtempo. Portishead is probably the most famous example though it's not entirely similar.
Ty. Exactly what I was looking for.
Is there any other Atlus game that is as good as this one?
Nocturne is close but no, PS2 smt is peak soul
A lot of those DS/3DS games come pretty damn close though. Shame about the post acquisition era.
Devil Summoner Raidou 1 + 2. the best SMT games imo
Honestly you can just go through their whole PS2 catalog.
Most of the other SMT games have better gameplay mechanics than just grinding eating people all the time. This one just has much, much better characters and story than just the copy pasted alignment representatives in every entry.
Looking at gamefaqs because it's been so long.
>“No, I can’t...”
>“It doesn’t matter.”
Then there's one that doesn't actually matter but people think it does. That might be the one you're thinking of. That one is also obvious, and just pick the first. I think there's a couple choices in DDS2 too which are also just the 1st option.
It makes sense with the story why you would be nice when you play 2.
It's a shame the second half of DDS2 is complete shit
I need to start 1 from the beginning because you have no way of knowing that choosing the wrong dialogue choice at the beginning of the game locks you out of a unique ability in 2
Real novelist making the story. It was so mysterious but knew exactly how much to give you to keep you interested. That's why it went to shit immediately in the sequel where SMT goes back to its lazy story beats.
I might read the novels sometime, I heard they're not all translated though.
It's the first option every time. They're not obtuse either, you just pick the options that don't involve you being a c**t.
Im pretty sure one of them is the second option, wasnt it?
now the reason I picked the butthole option in the beginning was because I thought it was thematically appropriate
Everyone is all merciless and agrilla is the compassionate one, I thought it made sense if Serph is like everyone else in the beginning of the game because I expected the character arc of everyone gaining feelings
Wait so will I miss something important if I pick wrong? Like a whole character?
you can miss out on heat in 2 if you pick the wrong options
but there is only 3 instances where the dialogue choice matters in regards to missing content
No but also yes, its not really that important though, its a few skills and an alternate character at the end of the second game, some dialogue at the beginning of the last dungeon. Think thats all
I assume he's talking about getting Heat back on the sun, which the dialogue choices for are so obvious you'd have to be turbo autistic to get them wrong. Two in 1, and two in 2. I don't recall the two special moves requiring anything at all besides just importing the save.
>which the dialogue choices for are so obvious you'd have to be turbo autistic to get them wrong
Nah, that's bullshit. Refusing to fight Heat on the ship in 1 is outright failing to understand him as a character. It's ridiculous that that's the choice you need to make.
Just because he says that's what he wants doesn't mean it's the proper thing to do.
You're comrades, Black person
Yes, exactly, which is why it should be blindingly obvious that Heat wanting to fight is a ruse. Agreeing to that is being on the same wavelength as him. Refusing to fight him is not understanding Heat's intentions.
This is some serious mental gymnastics all to keep from admitting a good game had some batshit moronic decisions.
Did you quote the wrong post or something?
Who cares if it's a ruse, the baddies obviously want you to fight each other so to humiliate and weaken you enough to take out afterward. Refusing to accept their demands is a much more appropriate choice for the leader you're supposed to be.
Two words:
Canonical futanari.
>wipes your party with complete impunity
nothing personnel, Embryon
I often hear people saying that DDS is underrated and I don't think it is in fact I don't like DDS at all, megaten without demon recruitment or fusions just feels wrong even persona didn't frick it up so hard.
Very nice character designs and environment designs. Other things too but I will mention this and let other anons pick up the slack.
The aesthetics and transformed party member design are golden, it's almost a shame it's a SMT game and so some of the sillier monsters clash terribly with them.
>In this bleak world, we need to eat Jack Frost to survive
Also, screw the grinding.
Alright I found it. There are a couple of skills you unlock with dialog options. Here's everything you need to know.
Neat. I forgot that Argilla got a skill too, or that a choice even mattered for it.
The tracks in these games are dangerously groovy.
