I still want to p-l-a-y that, you braggart!!!

Re: the world ends with you

This is probably the greatest current DS game. I've almost aced it. Found all Noise, got all 472 items, and I'm missing 1 pin to master. All secret reports found, etc., etc. It's ruined my life almost as bad as FFR has :P.

The World Ends With You

This is definitely a good game. The battle system is amazing, refreshingly new, and makes good use of both the touchscreen as well as the buttons at the same time. I have not seen a game use the touchscreen on the DS as well as TWEWY with the exception of Phantom Hourglass. The music was unique and appropriate for the game. I have the whole soundtrack and I love it.

The one thing the game could have done away with was the story. When I played it through the first time, I found it enjoyable, but that's true about most RPGs I play. When I played it the second time, I found the story more of in the way instead of helping. It wasn't fun to read the second time around and there was no skip button. I'm not saying that the game should have had no story at all because it definitely added to the theme, but was it that hard to put a skip button for it for those playing it for a second or third time?

lol, i think its kinda funny at some moments

Re: the world ends with you

I'm not saying the story was boring or poorly written. I even said I enjoyed it the first time around. It's just that if you play the game a second time, the story only gets in the way and it's not very fun to read again.

Re: the world ends with you

oh, i misread it, my bad man, i agree though, a skip button on alot of games would be good if you have already beaten the game. it should be something you unlock only after beating the game, that way you have to read the story to know whats going on.

Re: the world ends with you

I can understand it if developers want the players to read the story line because there are people who spend great deals of their time rewriting and polishing the story so that the game would be backed by a strong narrative. The effort seems wasted if they don't make it so that reading the story would actually be easier than to just skip it. Especially in a game where the mood and themes were set by the story. The art and music only enhanced it, but alone, they could have set the mood of the game.

Also, believe it or not, most gaming companies try to make games where people have fun. Whether or not they actually do is up to your interpretation.

Re: the world ends with you

Oh I agree on this completely actually. Their are a lot of games out there with non skippable cut-scenes, that really annoy the crap out of me. I've never had a problem with listening to the story again, but it can get really annoying if you die, and they make you sit through a cut-scene again. No matter how much the maker of the game wants you to watch the story, I'm sure they didn't want to make you watch it 20 times just cause you can't beat the boss, death penalties don't need to be that extreme.

Another thing I noticed, it seems that in most games, if the game stays in the in game engine during a storyline scene and requires you to hit a button to advance the text, very often you're not allowed to skip the scene. If it switches to a cutscene engine or the characters talk on their own without you doing anything, like a movie, then usually you can skip. Tales of Vesperia is a good example of that. I'm not sure if that's just the games I've played though, correct me if I'm wrong there

(an exception to this would be Final Fantasy X, I believe all the cut scenes in that game were unskippable)

Edit: I just realized I wrote all this even though the people who posted generally agreed that the skip button should have been in the game. Yay, I just contributed nothing to the conversation

Re: the world ends with you

If you beat the game, you get an item that allows you to basically skip conversations by holding L or R.

Re: the world ends with you

But if you start a new game.
