With the ds1 vs demon souls remake.
Wasn't the issue that darksouls 1 was just a scummy low effort re-release that simply changed to 64bit.exe, and slightly fixed the completely broken PC port?

I think that's a really bad example for developers becoming ambitious, or doing whatever with a remake to its detriment, and more an example of a scummy publisher or developer re releasing the same game under the guise of "remastered/remake" to sucker in unsuspecting fans into double buying.

A better comparison would be FF7 remake(which I haven't played it, or the original), which from what I'm aware, completely changes the game and re does parts or alot of the story, with just the same over arching theme.
With new types of content, side quests, events etc.

That game was obviously a massive success, and from what I understand, only features in the starting town for the first part of the original game.
It was just a quick example what can go wrong if overambitious, oblivious or greedy people are involved. DS 1 could have been so much more than just minor bug fixing, a few more pretty graphic changes and so on. I would have been happy to either get the same but very pretty this time or some good changes without tearing the spirit of Dark Souls apart. It's always a matter of taste and how you look at it but yeah, shame on From Software for that. The community had to step in first with dsfix because of a broken PC port and with the re-release new and old bugs found their way into the game once more.


And, that's kind of sad that both in the original and this remake there's no illias path. Although I see you and unknown discussing it more after this comment(tries ignoring your second reply to avoid spoilers lol).

In general, I think it can be really fun to be playing on the "wrong" team. But if it actually doesn't make sense, then that's fine.

And I know it would take alot of work. I had just assumed it was there lol.
As I said, it would be very interesting to have but one person can never handle that additional work. It would probably be like creating 1 1/2 game at the same time when it comes to content. That's insane, the good man does this as a hobby while having to work each day and having somewhat annoying time wastes with traveling from home to work and back and other crap.

Playing as the bad guy, who has a reason to act as he/she does, not just being evil for plot, is interesting and often fun to experience.

We will see what the future has to offer. I hope more people will follow into Unknown Developers footsteps and try to create something similar, perhaps even completely new. =3

Completely irrelevant to the discussion. But in joiplay, the game turns from silky smooth cycles into a pretty, but static still whenever you get into fights in harpy village with the 3 companions.

While just mashing the enter button gets me through most of the fights (it freeze frames on the last performed action, not drawing any menus, etc, sk you can't see what's happening.).
I can't actually beat the harpy queen with this method, which makes this incompletable.

If worst comes to worst, I can play it on PC some other time to get past this section.
But, in case anyone else uses joiplay. Are there perhaps settings that might rectify the issue?

Well you'll be in for a ride. It took me a bit over 100 hours to complete all the translated bits of act I & II + most of the non repeating side content(Played it back in 2020, so there could be alot more content).

As for backtracking, it's not quite how you're imagining it. The game for the most part had you travelling to new locations each time for the main story, just with alot of optional side content and areas. You could go off to.

It is really ambitious compared to the way the prequel appears.

There's also another monstergirl game In development by the guy who runs the monstergirl encyclopaedia, which looks to be another open world RPG.
But this time, with more focus in interacting with characters, side content, and dating monstergirls, than on typical hack 'n slash gameplay and story.

I played the demo quite a while back on initial release, and it was really open ended in what you could choose to do, and who you could bring along with you.
I don't know if it features an overworld or not.

Monster Girl Encyclopedia
MonsterGirl Quest: Paradox
I have been playing the game mostly as intended aside from savescumming some losses due to the girls having some unorthodox strategies. *Looking at you Iron Maiden and Antlion*. I've been playing as intended because I assumed there wasn't any perk to going off track. Also, since it's possible to leave the area without completing all the quests wouldn't it be possible to lock yourself out of completing the game due to being underleveled? If that is the case, I hope this remake has something in it to keep that from happening. Also, you mentioned the three parts, I am currently playing the 3-in-1 version on here so I am unsure where one chapter ends and another begins. Is it one continent per chapter?

And yes, I have certainly heard of Kenkou Cross's MGE game. I played some of the demo with my old gf while she was here and I own the MGE Vol 1 & 2. I am looking forward to when he finally releases the full game as I am expecting it to be on the same level as MGQ itself.

It is possible, and even intended from the devs, to skip many side quests for one achievement. You can read about it .

Part 1 (both in the VNs and in the Remake) ends after getting Gnome. You will start in the Noah region when you fire up part 2.
Part 2 ends after defeating Alice in her throne room and not killing her. You will start part 3 in the MOnster Lord castle and fight the angels for the first time.

Could you describe it here instead? I am worried I might see spoilers if I click on that link.

These are some pretty long parts, I thought I would be close to the end of the game by now. I am shocked to hear about the beginning of part 3 and not killing the snake. I am a good boy and want to make Best Girl happy *Angel emoji*

I can't describe this in detail without dropping many spoilers.^^ You better finish the game first and then read it for yourself. I already feel bad that I said anything. X3

Or Illias. I would read the comments above but I'm afraid of getting spoiled. I am surprised Ilias doesn't have a commandment against reading/ giving spoilers lol.

She probably does. Luckily we have a safe haven here, away from her baneful gaze, where all are free to spoil and be spoiled to our hearts content.

Well ofc, I died for you sinners. Show some goddamn praise. :p
And for our porn, if the names to be believed.

She has a secret one when you ask too often for advice after losing a battle. :D
I noticed her comments getting more cynical the more I asked for her advice. The last couple of times I asked, she mentioned wanting to find a replacement hero. Are you referring to the lost commandment of Ilias?

Baneful gaze? I love Best Goddess, I would love for her to see my h posts and smile upon my human wonderment for women. Ilias is a goddess who wants her beloved humans to be happy :)

That said, for some reason I keep seeing a subtle disdain for Best Girl and last time I looked on Ebay, there was an Alice waifu pillow but no Best Girl pillow. That sounds worrying, as though Best Girl may not be beyond becoming corrupted into doing something not Best Girl-like. :unsure: *Plz no spoil*

I forgot if she is just as sassy as always or if the dialogue does slightly change after that for each scene. It has been a while, sorry. X3
The dialogue is normal.
Basically, the Evaluations are always the same for each monster no matter how many times you lose (even to the same monster), with the exception of the secret scene you get for getting 50 evals.

No worries. I just want to see all the Best Girl scenes that I can without locking myself out of other content.

So the secret scene only happens after asking for 50 evals? Is there any downside to getting 50? Also, I think I am almost at the end of chapter 1. Does the eval count reset once I begin a new chapter?

You can't miss anything as long as you do all side quests before heading to the main destination of each area. Alice will always ask you if you are sure to leave.

I just checked a walkthrough plus Ilias entry in the replay room. Yes, you have to get 50 evaluations before chapter 2 happens. There are no downsides in getting this scene.
