How did you like the game?

How did this game get such great reviews.

You cannot play this game for more than 10-15 seconds at a time without winding up in an encounter.

This many frequent interuptions is way beyond *bleep*ing annoying and makes the game not only basically unplayable, but because it irritates you so much it also makes it un-enjoyable.

I don't see how anyone thinks this was a good idea.

Sounds to me like traditional RPGs just isn't your thing.

Your seriously going to try to tell me, that even though it's programmed into the game to do this, that no one else has encounters every 10-15 seconds and that is my opinion?

You can't be serious!

re: How did you like the game?

I think he was referring to your not liking the game rather than disputing the nature of the game.

Hmm, been a while since I last picked this up, but I thought the encounter rate was affected by your group's average level? It always seemed to me that the stronger my group was the fewer encounters I would find myself in.

Also, there are some measures that help to reduce the number of encounters. There is a psynergy skill called Avoid that does this. It's gained through putting Djynn on other elemental adepts (eg - give Issac water Djynn). You can also purchase sacred feathers for the same effect. I don't remember how long the effects of either lasts though.

Out of curiosity, do you actually dislike the combat in the game or is it just because it is excessive?

Exactly, I don't think this game was meant to cater to people who get angry at random encounters (which aren't even that frequent in this game after the first hour or so).

And it's not like the random encounters are difficult at all, I don't see why he's bitching so much about it.

re: How did you like the game?

If you don't like random encounters so much
work on getting your level higher
and get the avoid spell
really it's just random encounters
a lot of games have this

...you got me there

and complain about something as stupid as random encounters...

More to the point, why purchase a traditional RPG if he doesn't like RPG elements?

..and didn't bother to notice the genre of the game, apparently. It's nothing but his own fault.

re: How did you like the game?

I didn't have an issue with the encounters in this game at all. If you think that the encounters are bad in this, you should see them in the game breath of fire. It's a good game but it has way to many encounters, i have to purchase many many of them items that ward monsters off in that game, and in the end i still beat the game without level grinding.

re: How did you like the game?

Why do people feel the need to take time out of their lives to bitch? Seriously, just take the moment you took to do that and go play another game, do something nice for someone or just clear your head. We don't need or want to hear your crap. If you actually made some valid points then maybe, but as it stands you haven't.
