Level grind in Persona 4G?

[Segata Sanshiro Jr.]

I just put the game on easy my last playthrough. I don't mind grinding in some games but I can't do 40 hours of just grinding (I never could to be honest)

I kinda feel like games should be like lost odyssey which gives you tons of experience if you're below where you should be, or Ys where theres always a spot near the boss that hands out exp.

then again some people like that grind, I didn't mind it in baten kaitos...wonder why.

On Amazon one of the games on my wishlist is gone, just text saying they no longer offer the item and no way to tell what it was, over 100 items on my wishlist and now its bugging me what game it is.

I don't think exp should be adjusted if you aren't where you "should" be... that just seems like babying to me. Kind of negates the point of it being an RPG. May as well just be a straightforward action game if that's the case.
Making sure you don't have to travel far to grind (as in Ys) is a good idea though. You still have to work to level up, but it isn't necessarily just given to you. I like that.

[Segata Sanshiro Jr.]

True, then again LO is a pretty linear game. Its almost like an action game with RPG mechanics, its all about driving the plot which is pretty good.

I hate when shit like that happens. The same thing drives me up a wall when videos are deleted that were in one of my Youtube playlists.

[Spokane]

Yeah, me too. I'd save all the videos I have ever liked or favorited if it wouldn't be several hundred gigs.

It bugs me even more when its a video that hasn't been deleted but just set to private. Why let the public see it before then?

Or you could do a Tales of Vesperia and buy level packs on the marketplace.......... (kidding, obviously)

[Henry Spencer]

^Wait, you can do that?

I like the satisfaction of leveling up, some games do it better than others though, like with unlocking abilities or skills or allowing access to certain weapons that you couldn't wield before.

[Who Really Cares?]

A fair few games let you pay to level up. I hope no one buys them but sadly i bet people do.

[Segata Sanshiro Jr.]

if just 1 person buys it, then its worth it to them. A script that gives players a level would take less then an hour to write (and thats assuming they took a 45 minute nap)

[MiTT3NZ]

So is anyone playing their Dreamcasts on HD TV's with a AV Cable[£5] or the VGA Adaptor for £45? Of course at that price difference i expect the adaptor to be a lot better but if the cable does more than a good enough job i might just go with that for now.

Prepare for a shitloada colour bleed regardless of current picture settings. The whole game looks pretty damn ugly when cellotaped onto HD (Shenmue, that is. I struggle to think of any DC games you can't already get elsewhere that'd be worth the hassle.)

I never play an RPG unless it comes with tits to suckle.

Hmmmm, I wonder if that would work. It says the date I added the item still funny enough, June 19.

I think I will try that.
