What is our consensus on SMT Soul Hackers?
>>745946229First one is decent if a little plain. 2 is shit.
great game with a comfy setting
Great OST and vibesNemissa is cuteFairly terrible everything else
>>745946229The DS gimmick sucks now that the infrastructure for it is gone so you have to use emulation or a cheat save.
>>745946229Great game. Beautiful style. Cool music. I wish there was more to it, like a tie-in manga or a novel.There's only one bad thing: there is a dungeon designed like two towers connected by a bridge. It's pain in the ass to clear. Otherwise it's a good 30> hr SMT game. I liked my boy Zoma.
>>745946708native american mythology being at the forefront is really cool. I really thought that was gonna be soul hackers’ thing (on top of things like computer hacking and having weirdo villains with outlandish personalities and the zoma creation) so when 2 came out I was really excited but ultimately disappointed it was barely anything like the first. still this thread is about 1, I think my favorite part is the VR world because the dungeons were just so weird, things like that weird demonic tree in the park, the art museum, it was a whole vibe I enjoyed greatly. and i loved how fast it was to battle. I could speed up and bambambam so fast. the alignment gimmick too, I forgot what it was all about honestly but I don’t remember it being too much in the way of party building. Oh and speaking of, you had to be mindful of how demons were being used depending on personality so that definitely impacted team building. the music, man soul hackers 1 was so cool. I always think about plopping down a few hundred to get a 3ds xl and a physical cart to play it again
>>745946229Great game that noone playedA larper's great choice of SMT videogame
>>745947575Notice how Soul Hackers is the only game in the series where people fondly remember the dungeons, traders, mini bosses and mini games. Nobody talks about the 5 desert levels in SMT 5 for example. SH ended up being fashionable and memorable.
overflowing with style and novel ideas. the demon roster alone is incredibly unique, having an entire race of urban legends is a perfect fit for a modern suburban setting. the fact they dug it soul hackers just to shit out an utterly uninspired sequel still causes me psychic damage.
How come there was never a serious effort, either official or unofficial, to translate the original Devil Summoner?
>>745946229Its a solid RPG but where it really shines is in Vibes and atmosphere. Particularly the internet acting as your hub.
>>745948867No, I talk about the 5 deserts. Shinjuku in 5 is the best level of any Megaten game. But SH is pretty good especially compared to the Megaten from that time frame.
>>745946229Great game but way too easy.
I think Nemissa FUCKING SUCKS!
The 3DS version is awesome. Didn't finish it though and I have forgotten most of the story. Maybe I'll start a new game when I'm done with Disgaea 1.
Why'd they do her dirty like that?
>>745949656Claude will do it. Trust the plan.>>745950993For me it's Ginza in SMT1. It's my favorite SMT game.>>745951119You should have described her as sexy. That way she gets Zio spells.
>>745946229i wish the original saturn version was translated
>>745952956i could've saved her
i actually got filtered and dropped at the final boss (or somewhere near the final boss, it's been years)i should replay and actually finish it
>>745946284Ringo is awesome though
>>745953043Is it truly that different from the 3DS version?
>>745949656Can’t believe we got a spanish translation before an english one
>>745949656just play the 3ds version lol
>>745956969He’s talking about the original Devil Summoner not Soul Hackers
