Soul Hackers 2

Soul hacker 2 est un opus secondaire de la série Shin Megami Tensei, qui dit secondaire dit pas de budget (j'exclus persona à partir de P5) et je peux vous le dire qu'on le ressent dès qu'on prend le contrôle de Ringo... heureusement qu'on peut éloigner la caméra dans les options et encore le rendu n'est pas terrible mais c'est mieux que rien je dirais. Le jeu est très répétitif et le rythme est catastrophique à cause de notamment la matrice de l'âme qui est un donjon labyrinthique secondaire dans laquelle on va être constamment bloqué à cause d'une condition de "jauge de loyauté" à faire progresser, tout ça en x3 car on doit le faire pour les 3 compagnons qui vont nous suivre. L'histoire et le groupe au général sont anecdotiques au possible, du grand moyen quoi. Le jeu a une difficulté raisonnable, les raisons de pourquoi les gens trouvent le jeu facile est uniquement dû au faite que dans celui-là il n'existe pas de sort d'élimination directe (Mudo, Maha) et que si le protagoniste est ko il n'y a pas de game over. Mentions honorables : - Saizo, le seul perso du groupe qui est intéressant et qui te donne envie de poursuivre l'histoire. - Quelques musiques qui sont sympathiques comme celle de la personne qui te permet d'améliorer ton COMP par exemple. En définitif, je recommande uniquement aux fans hardcore des jeux Atlus qui ne savent pas quoi jouer, les autres passez votre chemin.

玩过之后我彻底释怀了。 真女5，他们都说你连剧情都没有，你看看这个玩意有剧情的写成了什么东西！ 林檎老婆，我们回家吧，离这群神人越远越好，我真的受不了这群人的塑造了！

Para el que no quiera leer las explicaciones iré al grano, este juego es una puta mierda. Ahora expondré el por qué lo pienso: - Sistema de mazmorras peor que el tártaro del P3 original, aburrido, repetitivo, siempre mismo escenario y con puzzles asquerosos y sin sentido que te hacen querer pegarte un tiro. - Sistema de relaciones sin sentido con respuestas que rara vez tienen que ver con lo que después dice, que no llevan a nada ni sirven de nada. - No hay un solo personaje en este maldito juego de mierda que no sea un cliché con piernas, todo es predecible, todo es esperable y ni uno solo tiene una mínima evolución de personaje, literalmente todos los personajes son planos y no cambian hasta que pasa X cosa (en cada uno es algo diferente) y ya cambian su actitud radicalmente, están escritos fatal. - La historia es un mierdón y de lo peor que he visto nunca, llena de Deus ex machina que van arreglando la trama según van ocurriendo las cosas, parece todo escrito sobre la marcha sin una idea clara de lo que se quiere hacer. - El final es literalmente de lo peor que he jugado y llevo jugando juegos 20 años (mucha mierda entre ellos) En general, al final acabé tan hasta los cojones del juego que lo ♥♥♥♥ en fácil y simplemente quise acabarlo rápido por no dejarlo a medias, menuda basura y que pérdida de tiempo, 0 recomendado.

진짜 아틀러스 게임인가 싶었다. 70퍼 할인하면 살만함

[b]Preface:[/b] I'm only slightly acquainted with Shin Megami Tensei (SMT) series/spin-offs and have only played the Persona games. Also, I have no experience with Devil Summoner: Soul Hackers (DS:SH) which this game is supposedly a sequel of. Soul Hackers 2 (SH2) is a watered-down SMT RPG that is less punishing, more simplified and features a different set of combat mechanics. While its simplification will raise eyebrows with SMT veterans, I think it's actually a good thing - not everything needs to be laborious or difficult. I'm happy to say that despite its many shortcomings, I've thoroughly enjoyed SH2 and am happy there's no Social Links like in classic Persona 1 (P1) days. In terms of gameplay, SH2 heavily simplifies the SMT formula by centering the dungeon experience around a system called Demon Recon. When you traverse a dungeon, you automatically send out your demons to recon the map. And when you later encounter said demons on the map, they will reward you with heals, money/items found, or recommend a random demon to join your party (i.e., they're basically your HR department now). What this boils down to is that there are no chests, and no demon negotiation; you can choose whether to accept the demon to join, as long as you can offer up what it wants (though sometimes it can also come with no strings attached). Something that I find rather disappointing is that demons in this game appear to have been heavily normalized. For e.g., Yoshitsune does not have his staple Hassou Toubi and instead has generic skills. Also, demons can only have up to max 6 skills which limits fusion creativity, some skills are gone and some notable ones got nerfed. If anything, this would be my biggest gripe with the game. On the plus side, demons in SH2 can be equipped by any character, allowing for very comprehensive character/party customization. Where SH2 is less punishing comes from its changes to combat rules. In SMT and Persona series, you have the Press Turn and One More risk/reward system (respectively) which grants an extra turn for hitting an enemy weakness or scoring a critical hit. In SH2, there are no such system and instead you get what is called the Sabbath which is a single heavy attack (at the end of the party turn) which scales according to the no. of stacks. You build up stacks by hitting the weakness of the enemy and later on in the game, you can also learn skills that enable you to gain a stack by scoring criticals and other conditions. In SMT/Persona, the system is fair as it applies to both you and the enemies. However, in SH2, only your party can use Sabbath attack and not the enemies; thereby making it less punishing than SMT/Persona titles. How the game maintains the difficulty when traversing dungeon is by introducing the Risky Enemy mechanic which is a type of encounter where enemies are always about 10 levels higher (relative to you). They offer far better experience points and rewards, but are also very hard to take down (depending on the difficulty you play on). Personally, I don't really like this mechanic as I think it's overtuned and laborious even on Normal difficulty. I pretty much escape all risky encounters except until I start grinding to level 99 (on Easy mode) because it's necessary for the experience points. The game can still be fairly challenging and you can switch difficulty at any time outside combat. A Very Hard difficulty is also available as free DLC if you like torture. Overall, I like the gameplay of SH2 and I'm glad that there's no calendar system like in Persona series nor loyalty/alignment system like in SMT, allowing me to freely do what I want. The Sabbath system, despite sounding shallow, is visceral and gets more fun the more upgrades you acquire. I enjoyed most of the dungeons except later floors of the Soul Matrix, which are frustrating because they are entirely made up of random teleporters as puzzles. There's a fair amount of replayability given that NG+ allows you to choose what gets carried over. Certain materials are also limited in quantity per playthrough so it's not possible to get everything in only one playthrough. Also, it's not possible to experience all content either as the last floors of the Soul Matrix requires 200 soul points. In terms of story, SH2 has a decent plot, but unfortunately, doesn't have the equivalent storytelling and world-building to make it great. There are certain aspects of it that don't feel believable, emotional scenes fail to elicit emotions and the humour mostly doesn't work. I think an easier analogy is that it's like a show with too little run time to flesh out its story, i.e., undercooked and rushed. Most of the time, I don't feel the stake or urgency of the situation; and I'd personally prefer if it had a darker and more sombre tone. It's a shame because the game has pretty good voice-acting, both in English and Japanese, with voices that fit the characters very well. I think the Japanese does a better job at conveying the nuances of the characters, the tones in the English dub often feels slightly off. The hangout events are kinda meh for me, and it would've been better if they were fully voice-acted. In the end, I can't say I have much attachment to the cast at all, but I have to agree with pretty much everyone else that Ringo makes a good protagonist. Regardless, I feel the overall story execution is average [u]at worst[/u]. One thing I do appreciate about the storytelling is that it's straight to the point and doesn't try to pad it out by regurgitating information. In terms of presentation, I liked the overall art direction but I think I prefer ambience of P1 and DS:SH which I feel SH2 is too chill. One obvious shortcoming in this area is that the character animations in cutscenes feel rather janky and somewhat lacking in production value. During combat, animations look good, and I especially love how the scene changes when demons join the Sabbath stacks. The UI is a good implementation of minimalistic design and is highly usable, though it sometimes lack sort/filter options in some areas that would make sense. As for the music, it's fitting but feels like it lacks coherence and I found it to be rather forgettable. There's one battle theme I liked, Battle of Devil Summoners, which I heard on Youtube (in some video guide) and cannot for the life of me remember whether it was even in the game! Really, I think this theme should've been the default battle theme. The dungeons do look pretty bland and it's a common valid complaint from many others - it didn't hurt my enjoyment but should be emphasized. As for performance, the game runs great on my RTX 4060 at max settings with no frame drops. I noticed that the game has an alt-tabbing issue that could sometimes cause your game to freeze up, and so I always save before doing that - it's somewhat annoying when looking up guides and fusion charts. Another thing I noticed is that, if you set the Loading Screen Tips configuration option to "Hide", you can entirely elimitate loading time if you don't care about reading the tips anymore. In conclusion, SH2 was a pretty fun game for me and I strongly recommend it. It's not lengthy and I've been able to 100% it in 2 playthroughs, obtaining every single upgrade in the game. SH2 does show promise as Atlus' 3rd major pillar franchise if they could refine the gameplay and add more polish. I liked SH2 because if offers the demon fusion gameplay with reasonable difficulty and no hassle. However, I recommend only getting it on a huge discount (got my standard edition at 80% off) because this game came with an outrageously high asking price. As much as I like the game, I don't think it has nearly enough content nor production value to warrant that pricing, not to mention, dodgy practices like day one DLCs.

Look like SMT Games Feel like Digimon cyber sleuth

recomendable, pero las mazmorras son malas confusas y obtusas en algunos puntos

SE UM FÃ DE PERSONA FIZESSE UM JOGO, particularmente sempre achei persona um estilo de RPG muito truculento com diálogos longos demais se um dia eu pudesse criar um RPG usaria os moldes do mesmo porem com diálogos mais incisivos e diretos, pois bem, alguém faz isso antes de mim e assim nasceu Soul Hackers 2, que é uma mistura de Persona em um mundo cyberpunk com diálogos mais curtos e diretos e acima de tudo não tendo que gadar NPC feminino pra conseguir melhor stats no game, SE EU RECOMENDO? eu diria que sim, porém o preço né, não ajuda muito, se tiver em uma promo de uns 50% vale a pena viu, A CAMPANHA DURA EM MÉDIA 20 HRS facilmente, se quiser os 100% passa de 40 HRS+.
