My thoughts on Cyber Sleuth - Why is all this story getting in the way of my grind?
DigiMatt52 Yeah, pretty accurate
If the story didn't come in the way of my grind, I would've stomped most of the story content with Megas from the beginning, the fact that your party memory can only be increased by playing the story prevented that :D
@@Zazume_ My beef isn't that party size/memory or evolution trees and such were gated by story content, but that the core gameplay of battling and raising monsters was gated by so much fluff.
Think of it like this - Pokemon R/B vs. Pokemon X/Y. How often did dialogue/cutscenes interrupt your flow of battling/catching in one vs. the other?
That's what I mean.
Currently playing - 100 percent accurate. Especially since the translation isn't the best either - not horrific but definitely needed a proofreading.
I played cyber sleuth on normal and found the difficulty to be pretty decent in the mid to later half of the game. First few chapter I was easily bopping bosses in a few strikes. And I do agree with the tedium of digivolving and de-digivolving. I think Digimon has great potential to surpass Pokemon in terms of game play quality if they play their cards right.
Arata's resemblance to Devil Survivor 2's Hibiki is eerie.
He looks like a fusion of the protag from the first and second games. He's got them sharp features, with the black hair and shit.
Thanks for introducing me to all these potential new waifus, Furfag-senpai
they gon fuk
Yep, this is better on the crapper.
Bought day one & still haven't completed the story because every time I pick it up I fall into the rabbit hole that is digi-evolution/digi-de-evolution. That shit is addictive.
You got that right
its fun, i wish pokemon would do something like that
200 hours of my life went down that sink
Eh, main thing you missed was that when you de-digivolve you keep all your non-mon-exclusive skills like heal and fire spells. Since you can digivolve any digimon into any other digimon you can effectively learn all the skills on one digimon...fuhfaaagh!
I found that most of those skills were weak in comparison to the inherited ones. They're nice, low-MP padding, but it's hardly worth the grind to get more than a handful.
actually there is a limit to how many skills you can have
@@Caspicum certain skills are better with certain digimon
like platinumnumemon with nightmare
Their a limit on skills u can learn which becomes a pain when ever you dna digivolve you have dele5e atleast 5 skills most the time
Be honest this was my favorite Digimon game. The story was cool. I liked the digivolutions. It was just a unique game.
fuurfuak
Also the sound track is godlike.
Damn right.
could you add digimon world data squad to your review series ? btw pretty nice reviews and funny also...good job
I'm about halfway through all of the Digimon games that made it to the West, so I'll probably just finish the entire series at this point.
hey man, you should play next world order ;)
when it comes to the west of course
Dat foxy minx... has no bra. Tell me why I've played through the entire game 3-4 times to get every digimon and trophy but am just now noticing that.
That was the first thing I noticed, tbh. She got some nice old tiddies
Agreed. She's so hot I sometimes feel guilty for just starring at her even she's being awesome. Also the fact that she is related to my favorite Royal Knight somehow makes her sexier.
NEVER FEEL GUILTY FOR ENJOYING EYE-CANDY.
Lol yeah but she's more than just a treat for the eyes. But I'll do my best in the future!
I actually like how you're brutally honest in your review. Gonna have to check out some of your other videos.
Thanks! This Cyber Sleuth one is a bit rough, but (I think) I've gotten a lot better over time.
Perfect ! Thanks for the video ,
you do great work man. You are the channel I like to view Digimon stuff on
Anyone else get sort of a Megaman Battle Network/Starforce vibe off of this game? Because I sure did! Seriously, try playing Battle Network/Starforce music while you play this game. It fits so well it's kinda scary. (But mostly really goddamn cool)
I got more of a Persona 3/4 feel, but I haven't played Battle Network/Starforce much.
Awesome video! Love the digimon games and your passion to cover the majority of them!
I think I'll do the entire series at this point. I'm a little over halfway with Western releases.
Probably not. I will definitely do more Digimon in the future, but I'll stick to RPGs. The fighting games are... They're solid games, I just suck at talking about fighting games.
It was a pretty decent game for a Digimon one. I sort of like how they've split it off in to one kind of gameplay for the Stories series, and a different one for World now. Now if only they'd actually make a decent version like DW3 but actually improved/fixed up, I might be a happy Digiweeb.
Furfaaag.
Really enjoyed this review. Thanks for it, mate.
Thanks for watching, fam.
That’s some effort you put in your vids.
Subbed and looking forward to new content
the only thing I didn't like about the game is if you choose a female main character the text don't a just to it
Wouldn't they still call you by your name, or "Cyber Sleuth"? That seems fine to me.
Ya but they always said him or he will
Oh shit. You serious? That's hilarious.
yeah, I hate that too
Paul Lancaster to be fair translation seemed rush considering they had no plans to localize this game
I totally loved this fuurfuak of a game. It's genuinely my favorite Digimon game of recent so seeing that you didn't hate it completely was good enough for me! Also I am now a subscriber.
Discovered your channel recently. Loving what I've seen so far. I actually really enjoyed this title (it's my first Digimon game) and got crazy addicted to the evolution aspect of it, evolving, devolving and leveling up kept me playing. Yeah, it sucks that your digimon starts back at level 1 but those level up screens kept that dopamine flowing so even if it was a bit annoying, I still found myself feel like I was getting somewhere (since the digimon either change into something more powerful or now have higher ABI and level cap). I played the Vita version and it's just fantastic. RPGs on a handheld just feel right. It makes those "one more fight" urges easy to satisfy and probably kept me playing longer than I would have should I have purchased the PS4 version. I picked up the...sequel..ish Hacker's Memory as soon as I finished this title. Not sure if it's still available on the PSN store, I know sometimes these things get delisted on something as dead as the Vita (RIP, my lovely) but, hey, if you see it on sale somewhere for a handheld (is there a switch version?) perhaps you should give it a go.
There is a switch version.
I can see what you mean about trimming down the intro. Though from what I read at one point, apparently they got the director of Summer Wars and Bokura no War Game to do the art design for those chat sequences, so I can see them wanting to get their moneys worth, I really like the aesthetic there. I do wish they had gone with Impmon over Haguremon, apparently he was the #2 pick for the virus slot. But he's also machinedramon's primary rookie, so kind of cool that they're being presented as a major partner in the same way as Palmon and Terriermon who have had the role in at least one anime. Too lazy to scan any code words here.
"So when you present me with a young woman... that makes my gaming experience all the more rich".
And subscribed. Sadly have to cut the video there as I'm about to buy the game tonight and wish to avoid spoilers. Thanks tho, I wasn't sure should I get it, then saw only your video and I like what I've heard so far.
I hope you enjoy it! Definitely don't spoil too much for yourself though, good idea.
I would consider this to be a very solid review. It's really hard to find games where there are no problems with it but the one thing I'll always appreciate about this review show is that it is not afraid to discuss the positives and negatives of whatever game the person is reviewing. I haven't played much in the way of digimon games but it is a series I am interested in trying because it fits into my mold of the type of games that I enjoy. I can't really see myself owning this game anytime soon because I haven't bought one new generation game all this year because of a crappy economy and just trying to save any amount of money that I do own. Still I'll keep this game in the back of the mind when I'm ready to jump into the current generation of gaming.
YEAH! This generation of gaming has been quite a letdown for me. It's a lot of rehashed crap, and stuff that would've worked on the previous generation of consoles. I think the only stand-out title for me has been The Witcher 3. It's not a terrible idea to wait 5 years until everything is super-cheap and catch up. That's pretty much what I plan on doing :^)
Sad that you have low subscriber count in my opinion you deserve at least 50k+
Hey, I'm just happy that people watch and all that. Thanks for the comment!
Your sense of humour is great, awesome review. Game is on sale at €10, it's a steal
At 10 European buckeroos, it's a deal. I'd do it. I'd do it so good.
Thanks for the comment!
How the fuck have this channel Nearly only 30k?! Love your Videos
these are my all time favorite video game reviews
You're a fine lad.
lmfbo. Love it dude' great review
I'm still have fond memories of playing this on the switch, finding out that the timer keeps going while it's in sleep mode, putting digimon in the training islands and just abandoning them for a while, returning to them at max level
Great review.
Cheers, babe.
Hey Furfuck, just finished this game, gotta say I enjoyed it ^_^
though I see thep roblems you had, also the final boss was a bit disapointing as it was easy to take out quickly (Wargreymon with armor peircing attack plus the final boss was a virus soooooooooooooooo)
i fully agree with you 100% of the story, it had incredible potential but then went generic shounen anime JRPG tripe by 2nd half
14:56 literally how i felt about this game
i kinda disagree, i felt it was kinda boring in the start and than ramped up later on after the digital world started dying
Man, you are a trooper for getting though these games. I love rpgs but these games bore me to tears.
Not to mention that I just dislike more or less all of the designs of the Digimon themselves. They all seem to hit a weird middle ground of being both over designed and bland at the same time. IMO
ps:Furfag
That's fur enough. I evolved a particular Digimon, and could've sworn it was something taken straight from Deviantart. I love some designs, but there's a certain autist-edge to others that irk me. I think it was MechaGaogamon or something. Google that shit and tell me you don't want to die.
So, you named yourself DigiDick, because you are a digital detective, right? I mean, that's the only logical explanation I can come up with. :P The game reminds me a bit of Persona 4. Jumping into TV's, solving a mystery, but with less death. I'll probably pick this game up, whenever I eventually get a PS4 or Vita. Great video, man!
It is very reminiscent of more recent SMT games. With the artist from Devil Survivor, I occasionally forgot I was playing Digimon.
Also, DigiDick was totally because of the detective thing. I wasn't sure people were going to pick up on that.
Nokia got an army, a royal knight and was pretty useful, but yeah she is Aqua tier useless
All of the things Nokia did Yuuko could have done. Or Fei, who kind of disappears. Or Arata, if he didn't get edgelord syndrome.That came out of nowhere. I don't mind that trope, but it wasn't done right in this game.
Arata edglord issue was solved in Hacker's memory.
I think that Nokia's purpose was to show someone getting stronger due to their bond with their Digimon since she went from a whining coward that is constantly panicking in important situations to hot-blooded Shounen Protagonist that basically leads the charge into enemy territory out of her sheer adoration towards Agumon and Gabumon and her desire to protect them and Digimon as a whole.
Every other main characters was mostly focused on their relationship with human characters, IIRC.
In my opinion you hit the nail on the head for me
Nice vid Fuurfuak. x)
Man, I don't know why everyone thinks that guy says Furrfuak.
YES I love these videos
I LOVE YOU!
I just found it crazy how I actually needed to train a whole new team just because a boss had type advantage, but I emjoyed the grind, I grinded with platinum numemons, got like 3 alphamon oryoukens, nothing stands a chance anymore lmao
Platnumemon is THE deciding factor that makes me love this game even with grinding, but it doesn't excuse since a first timer with no guide would only discover that by following one of the ugliest digievolution families XD
Also I played on hard, so I dont get the criticism of grinding on normal, remember seeing people beat the game with no megas on normal
Awesome!
i know it's a little late to mention this but thank god for those Platinum Numemon's ridiculous exp boosts that can be stacked with other exp boosting items because without that the grind would take such a long time
Platinum Numemon made Cyber Sleuth so much better, hey.
2:21 I find it amusing a game made by Bandai Namco has one of the Sega arcades, no trademark issues to be found lol. (Also I think that's the one that shut down because of [pandemic that wasn't a thing when this video was published] RIP)
My team in my playtrough was pretty much platinum numemon. So I could level faster and gain the new cool digivolutions. And I still kept the Numemon since is still had to grind all the other Evolutions 😂
Over a year old, surprised the ds games were never brought up as a comparison. More specifically - the Digifarm, the scanning method, and Dusk/Dawns level degredation back to level 1 where as Digimon World DS kept the level you were at as you wanted in here.
I actually have videos on DS and Dawn that came out more recently than this!
What are you expecting from the follow up game to this now that it's been announced and given release dates (I think for the English release it's just set to release early 2018)
Less Digivolution tree fuckery, and a better story would be nice. Ultimately, there's not a lot wrong with the game. It just needs a few balancing tweaks here and there, and it's a quality experience.
The one thing I want to be fixed this time around is the translation. I felt it was serviceable and got the job done but if you play as the girl character the dialogue doesn't fit and assumes you're playing as the guy.
Other than that I just hope there's less grinding involved or at least something more manageable than doing the PlatinumNumemon trick where you have 3 of that Digimon all equipped with the item that boosts how much exp you earn to where you get 9x exp, making grinding a non issue unless you're trying to get to a specific digivolution at which point you have to keep entering and exiting the Digilab every few minutes and after a while it can get tedious, but I digress.
Something I liked a lot about the Digivolution tree stuff was how inherited skills were handled.
I recently finished the game last week (ended up buying it last year when I got my PS4 and then I put the game on hold when i got to chapter 13 or 14 I have a bad habit of putting games on hold for a while) and it wasn't until the end of chapter 19 when I decided to stop advancing the plot and do the Royal Knight Digimon cases and the DLC cases for fighting the Seven Deadly Digimon and that's the only time I really had to grind, not because the fights were particularly hard but so I could get some if the strongest Digimon in the game like Mastemon or Lillithmon, those two along with UlForceVeedramon and Jesmon helped turn those fights into a cakewalk.
I started doing those at about 77 hours playtime and when I was done all the cases at the end of chapter 19 I think 18 hours passed and half of the time I spent grinding was to get certain skills from one digivolution line and then going backwards until I got to a Digimon that could go back up to one of the Mega level Digimon I was looking to add to my party.
Aside from that long spiel, I think the story could have been much better especially in the second half. The premise was cool but didn't hold up too much later on, felt like standard stuff you'd find in an anime but it could have been worse depending on how they could have executed it.
As for Hacker's Memory, all I know about it is it takes place before and during the events of Cyber Sleuth, there's 3 different starter Digimon to choose from and there's over 300 Digimon total this time around so I'm somewhat hopeful things will turn out better this time around.
I really like this game, but I agree with everything you said.
I bought the complete edition for switch. Due to the farm and the fact that the switch is always on. I'd usually set digimon in the farm be able to digivove them by the next day. I completed a good third of the digidex before beating chapter 2.
5 years later, Toei uses a similar plot in the latest digimon adventure movie
Hello, please review "Digimon World Next Order" !!!11!
Just kidding its not out yet :D
(But when it is i would love to watch the review Digimon World 1 was my favourit)
I've had a few people ask for it, so I'll look into grabbing a copy when it does drop!
Also, Digimon World 1 is my favourite as well. Nothing will ever beat that nostalgia.
TENSEIKEEEEEEEEEEEEEN... SLASH!
Yes maybe nostalgia has a big part in it. I loved how difficult it was to raise
the digimon to its final form (which was the best feeling ever)
But i also somehow prefered to have only 1 digimon
I see you also played one of my all time favourit games Grandia 2 :)
Did you also play Grandia 1? Loved the first part the most^^
I haven't played the first in a long time, but I plan on going through it again soon. I finally got me a copy of Grandia 3 a few years back, and that was fantastic, and replayed the second this year when it was released on Steam and GOG. It's a fantastic port. I'm never too far from a Grandia playthrough!
My only disagreement is that Yuuko is the best girl, not Kyoko, but that's a subjective opinion, and differs from person to person.
Out of curiosity, will you be reviewing Digimon Cyber Sleuth: Hacker's Memory when it comes out?
Those are fucking fighting words. Come at me.
I'll definitely do Hacker's Memory. I think Cyber Sleuth needed some tweaking, and I'm extremely curious to see if HM does that.
Looking forward to it.
I wasn´t really aware that this came out since I don´t own a Vita or PS4 yet. This will be something I will be getting when I do buy a PS4 along with Final Fantasy XV and probably some tales game.
Does this game have digivolution trees similar to the Digimon world DS games? Based on your descriptions, it sounds just very similar, with the level caps, and having to de-generate to the previous stage to increase "Aptitude"(stat that determines level limit).
Is the turn-based combat similar to most turn-based RPGs?
Seems like a good game worth playing. Too bad it didn´t come out on the WiiU.
It's almost exactly like Digimon World DS in the digivolution tree. The combat system is basically like Final Fantasy X.
To be fair, I wouldn't release anything on the Wii U either. Dead console is dead. At least the PS4 had some sort of a sale base. I'd love a PC port though.
Seeing as you answer a lot comments, what do you think about the overall teambuilding? I love Pokémon despite its very low skill floor because you can get really deep into making an interesting team. Does the Farm also play a role in teambuilding?
God, it's been a while. I remember the farm being useful for Hard mode, but when I swapped back to Normal, it wasn't necessary at all. It seemed like it didn't really matter who you picked, as long as they had a piercing move, but it's genuinely been so long, I can't give you a real answer, I'm sorry.
@@Caspicum np! Thanks for the quick answer. Your style of review is really good, the recent World review was top-notch
Evolve and Devolve to level 1 may be because of stats raise, in Dawn/Dusk/NDS, you could start as level 1, raise it around 20-30 , evolve and do it again, for grinding purposes, it was cool to get any OP Digimon. Koromon kicking some ImperialdramonPM ass is beutiful
Beautiful? Beautyfull?
does that one speech bubble say "super pissed"?
IT DOES!
I suggest you do some videos on topics that interest you and you wish to talk about. That or FurFag idk. Also silly of Sony doing what they did. Thanks for the video.
I WILL CONTINUE DOING THAT, FAMILY!
I know you've already been asked so I'm not asking. but I'm looking forward to your review of Next Order
I won't lose my shit over a request, so don't worry about it. I hate when people are like "I'VE HAD THIS QUESTION 100 TIMES ALREADY STOP ASKING".
Like, who the fuck are you? These people owe you nothing, you owe them everything. If 100 people ask you about a thing, you either put out a PSA, or you answer every single one of them.
Big CZcamsrs shit me off because they're such arseholes about people asking questions. The only reason I played anything past the first Digimon World game, was because people asked for it. Asking gets you places!
Definitely keep your eyes peeled for Next Order, I don't know when it'll be, but it will be, unless I die before I get a copy, then it won't be. I'm not planning on that though. And thanks for letting me know you're interested in watching it. It speeds up my process a little bit. Like, if I had 200 people ask for a Next Order review, it'd be out the next day.
Will you be reviewing Digimon World Next Order when it comes out in the west?
Yah I'm super hyped.
I know nothing about it, but if enough people ask for it, I don't really have a choice.
Casp O'saurus do digimon world next order Ps4 version comes out in February 2017
I can not wait for your review should be good!!!
I'll see what I can do!
Casp O'saurus well I hope you do I enjoy your digimon reviews a lot
and after you played through world 1 & redigitize I'm really curious what you will say/feel about next order.
you should checkout the comparison video for next order vita version vs next order Ps4 version
huge graphical difference nothing like cyber sleuth tho
I've seen the comparison videos, and it made me pretty hyped for Next Order. They've made it look so nice.
Finally finished this game, now I can finally watch this video :D
Also, Yuuko is best girl, let's not kid ourselves.
Me and my blonde goddess will fight you!
Yuuko is at least a real human
THE BLONDE ONE IS REAL...
to me.
Hackers memory explains allot of the story inconsistencies
And honestly frkm.what ive seen the dialog, missions, and story jn general are handled better
Hacker's Memory looks very good. I can't wait to get my hands on it!
to be honest ive been wanting to get into game review maybe we can do a colab ^_^ i can gerenty you i know quite abit about digimon
and it would be an interesting perspective since hackers memory/cyber sletuh are my first digimon games while your well versed
I played a lot of Digimon World Dusk as a kid, so the weird systems in this game were pretty easy for me to wrap my head around. And though there were some points where I felt a bit bored, I liked the story on the whole. I liked the more focused attempt at a proper narrative, and while I could definitely see the opening being a slog in repeat playthroughs, it serves it’s purpose well for the first. There were at least a few moments where I thought the characters were being monumentally stupid (Yuuko, Nokia and Arata for specific plot reasons) but I still enjoyed them enough to want to see where those story threads landed them. They were idiots, but they were my idiots. Also, I’m so glad they removed the special exp, having to grind on a specific digimon type was a nightmare in Dusk if the only ones you could find were low yield.
This game consistently ranks among the top digimon games on lists.
8:50 Exactly, the difficulty spike of earlier chapters pissed me off, I thought jimiken boss fight would be just the same like other npc fight, turned out he wrecked the crap out of my team that is consisted of 3 champions.
One of the very few games I wish I had the Vita or PS4 for. Digimon Story games are generaly great, but they have been called Digimon World(Digimon World DS is actually the first one) so far in the US, and only these 2, and Dusk and Dawn have been localized.
These graphics are amazing, HD cel shading is always incredible!
Nice review y'got there. I got when it came out and personally think it is one of the better Digimon games but too much of the game is just a slog that it is hardly saying much. My favorite part was building my team of 'mons. There is a New Game+ but the only thing different about is that you can keep you team from the last playthrough.
Building a team of mons was easily the best part. It's so fun, even if a bit grindy. I ended up using the three Platinum Sukamon with the EXP booster USBs, and getting tens of thousands of experience per battle, which made it amazingly fast. Went from In-Training to Mega in a matter of minutes. Speeding around the tree at that pace showed me how fantastic it actually is.
I regret not talking about it more, but this is a long fucking video.
Casp O'saurus
Yeah once I found out about that trick, I just spent my life away grinding for powerful 'mons.
I love the fact that you can pretty get any Digimon you want in the game through this method. You can also get certain advantageous moves this way.
If you get 3 platinum sukamon and some USB equip item, of which you can equip 6, which buffs your EXP gain, EVERYWHERE is a good grinding spot. You'll get 1000 EXP + from every battle in the game. late-game can give you upwards of 100,000-200,000 EXP. It is insane.
He has an ability that doubles EXP or something. I think there's a few more, but Platinum Sukamon is easy to get.

The Digifarm element reminds me a fair bit of that of Sonic Adventure's Chao Garden, meshed with that of Pokemon Ranch. Just dump the extras on it and hope for the best, with occasional interactive games. Furfags-a-plenty
Never enough furfags. Chaofags btfo
You had me at blonde with a unbuttoned shirt. Never played this one doubt I will its not my style.
Bandai-Namco's business model is so weird. They wont release RE: Digitize Decode for 3ds but Cyber Sleuth, Hacker Memory and New Order are fine?
The 3DS has been dead for a while, so it makes sense. A HD re-release would be sick though.
Picked this up for the Vita when it first came out, and goddamn I loved it. It was the first Digimon game I ever actually liked, it felt like a Persona game but with Digimon in it. I'm currently playing the sequel now and I've sunk so many goddamn hours into it just grinding to get my favorite Digimon. Still a good sequel though.
Gotta get me that Hacker's Memory at some point. How's it stack up compared to the original?
I'm only about halfway into the story so far (I've literally spent the last 20 hours in-game grinding) but it's neat. It's not a chronological sequel, instead it takes place directly during the events of the first one. You pal around with another hacker team and see everything that goes on in the first game from a different perspective. There's some really cool moments that fill in bits of story from the original, like when you help the Sistermons train Nokia and her digimon.
Also I can't remember if it was in the original or not, but there's a hacker ability you can use in dungeons that doubles your running speed which is _really_ nice. Gameplay-wise though it's just more of the same, which I'm fine with.
I know this is a bit old but the switch version breaks the digi farm. It runs the farm if you leave the game on even in sleep mode. I do it all the time, I'll just devolve and digivolve some mons before work and they're usually fairly trained when I get home.
You ever decide to update this just play through switch version.
I still need to finish my PS4 copy. I platinumed my Japanese Vita version like a year ago, though. By the way, have you ever played the WonderSwan games? I remember playing them on an emulator back in middle school (I'm 22). They were pretty good.
I have never interacted with the Wonderswan in any capacity. I know there was a port of FF4 to it (At least, I'm pretty sure that was the console) but that's it.
If there're Digimon games on it in English, I'll probably get around to it at some point. The main issue is that I can't read Japanese, and despite having bumbled through a few Japanese games in my time, I don't think it'd be fair for a review sort of format.
Also, what's in a platinum trophy for Cyber Sleuth? Is it one of those heavy-grind Platinums, or is it fairly easy to obtain?
I think there are some fan translations for the WonderSwan games, but I don't remember since it's been quite a few years. I played them back before I knew kana (I still struggle with kanji, though), so I probably used some sort of guide. The first one was released in English in Hong Kong, so you could get that one, but it has turnbased strategy as opposed to the rpg mechanics of the sequels and I could never figure out the controls even in English, so good luck with that one.
They star Ryo Akiyama (the Cyberdramon guy from Tamers/Season 3 if you don't remember) and explains how he went from the universe of Season 1 and 2 to the universe of Season 3 and how he got Cyberdramon. It also reveals that he had a big part in Ken's past and was the original partner for Davis's Veemon. You can actually briefly see him in Season 2 in the scene where Ken is having a dream/memory of when he got infected by the Dark Spore, as well as Milleniummon, the main antagonist of the second game.
Cyber Sleuth was a *very* grind-heavy platinum for me. Remember that I was playing it in Japanese with only knowledge of kana, sentence structure, and a couple dozen kanji, though. Aside from having to win 30 (I think) battles on the online portion (where everyone loved spamming UlforceVeemon and his insanely high speed (I usually kept a Lilithmon on my team because her unique attack was uber strong)), there are also a few trophies that can be missed if you forget to do a certain mission or pick something up or forget to talk to someone.
This was especially annoying in the Japanese Vita version for the trophy for collecting all 500 Digimedals, because the medals for the medals for the 7 Great Demon Lords were only given by the blonde "V" haired guy in certain chapters and there was no new game plus in that version, so I had to completely start over to get that one. You could have gotten them from some DLC missions, but you need to have a Japanese PSN account to download them, and I do, but even then a Vita can only be associated with one at a time and to change that you have to factory rest. Even then, the trophies wouldn't have been able to sink up with my American account's trophy list. I had attempted to come up with a solution to this, but it ended up being futile. ...Anyway, mini rant over.
My best advice for the Digimedals is, aside from a guide, is in regards to the machines that give them out. Each machine gives out exactly 30 different medals, none overlapping with another machine. If you give all the medals to the collector then go to a machine, you can just use the machine until you have 30 different medals in your inventory. Also, save before using them and then, after getting several different ones, have a system of save, spend "x" amount, and if you don't get a new one reload, and if you do, as soon as you get it save again, and repeat. It's tedious, but you won't waste nearly as much money.
Also, I believe there may be a few medals you can only get from farm generated fetch-quests. If you set a farm to search for some and then save right before the timer finishes, you can reload for different quests if you don't get the one you need. I believe the medal reward is always the same as the client as well.
Side note after this long thing, one of the Digimedals in this game introduced me to BanchouLilymon, who is freaking awesome. She's an alternate mega for Lilymon who dresses like a banchou (duh) and uses Togemon themed yo-yos as a weapon. I had a crush on Lilymon as a kid and I've always liked female characters in stereotypical banchou style clothing, so she's pretty much a win-win to me :P
Whew, that took forever to write. I started right after you responded too, so that gives you an idea of how slow a typist I am :P
Bloody hell, mate. That Platinum sounds dreadful. And no NG+ either. Fuck that. I only platinum'd a few games in my time, before Sony banned my PSN account, but they were generally easy or just a wee-bit grindy, like NIER, Resonance of Fate, 3D Dot Game Heroes, all that sort of thing.
I guess that also goes to show how much better, or at least easier to play Cyber Sleuth is on Vita versus PS4. I would've had a lot more fun had it been on Vita, but alas, I can't justify it yet. NEEDS MORE GAMES, OR LIKE NATIVE PS2 EMULATION. PLEEEEEEEEEEEEEASE SONY
Child pabour factory” that hit me hard
Lol i had two full farms of builder magadramons and metal tyranamons to to develop resources for me
My main gripe with the game was the digivolving system itself. It's super convoluted and can take hours to wrap your head around.; But it is fun once you've finally figured it out. The game could have been way better if the intro wasn't long as heck and they actually took the time to show you how to navigate the system instead. I'm not necessarily for overly long tutorials, but when it's the main mechanic of your game I'd much rather you spend an hour telling me about it and showing me how to use it, than an hour of nonsensical cutscenes. I'll get back to it, it's still a fun game.
I got bored around the 50% mark and haven't picked it up since. Bought this in hopes of getting Next Order. I hate Bamco, they don't listen to their US fans much, if at all. Thankfully, there's a fan translation of N.O. in the works.
As for the Digimon training farm part, it's a throwback to the Digimon Story games on handhelds (Story, Dusk/Dawn, Championship, ect.) so it's not really a new concept and seemed out of place to me in this game.
Anyway, been really enjoying your reviews! We're doing LPs of Digimon World, Re:Digitize, Adventure PSP, and Digital Card Battle.
Yeah, I'm not entirely sure I would've finished it were it not for this video. There's a lull in the middle that's fairly grating. I thought the Digifarm was more a pointing to the gyms from Digimon World 1 and 3, but I can also see the DS games. Especially Championship.
ALSO, I LOVE DIGITAL CARD BATTLE.
Right?! Digital Card Battle is fun, but slow. It makes it hard to LP. ^_^;
13:54 Th- The Coffee...
Spoilers
How can Alphamon think that was good, much less drink it? I don't care if it's a Digimon. Nokia's Digimon have shown that they can tast.
U skipped half of Alphamon’s reveal D:
6:10 That's how I feel about the Digimon franchise overall
Nokia design very delicious, but your right kyoko is best girl and the ost hope star is banger.
I hate that your two best friends in this game look almost like the busty redhead from Devil Survivor and the white hood protagonist of Devil Survivor 2. I mean, yeah, same artist, but have some variety, man!
YEAH DUDE. Same artist makes all characters super-derivative.
OH MY GOD I couldn't agree with you more on the Jimiken fight. I'm pretty sure because of that fight and others like him, nearly half of my playtime was most likely grinding trying to make an adequate team for the challenge presented. But it was almost only during the occasional boss every five or so hours. Otherwise as a whole I burned out on this game three different times after around the fifty hour mark.
Playing on Hard also killed it. Would not recommend at all.
If I can give any advice...
-Don't go too heavy into grinding until you got a set of PlatinumSukamon or, later on, PlatinumNumemon. It takes some effort but Cyber Sleuth and Hacker's Memory are more than happy to facilitate grinding with the right stuff. And by right stuff I mean being able to bump a baby digimon to a high leveled Mega in, like, 20-25 minutes tops.
-Barring that, in Chapter 4 thiere's a mission where you can fight some ultimate leveled digimon. Completing it locks this area until later so if you just stay there you can get some decent levels.
Also my first playthrough was on hard until Adam Eater. However by now I can say I beat the entire game on hard save for the optional boss fights at the end game.
Honestly it's a completely different experience if you play for the digimon and not for the story. I progressed so my digimon would get stronger more easily and I could get some of my old favorites like Cherubimon or interesting ones I'd never seen before. I've completely stopped and grinded just to get an evolution or two for curiosity alone... Idk, maybe I'm weird xD
I play for the entire experience. While I do think the Digivolution tree is the best part, if I'm boopin around the tree like a sick lad, then I want to put my Megas to use in the story and side quests.
question do u need wi fi to play the story mode
Nope! The story is offline!
I have no idea what that guy said at 16:00 but I think it sounded something like FARFAG! lol
One major gripe is that magic and magic defense are the same stat
You should do Digimon Masters Online Review :)
I'm not a big fan of MMOs. Since they rely on a server, and often die quickly with no method of replaying them, I opt away from covering them.
Casp O'saurus Okay :) Thanks for the reply man. Just found out about you and really love your content.
Welp I'm a Digimon Fanboy so for me this game was absolutely amazing. But I also have to wonder if you played the Digimon Story games for DS, because most features you complained about are actually made more accessible in this one.
I played DSCS on vita first. Imo this game is one of the most beautiful Vita games there currently is (and probably ever will be)
I had so much fun with my Japanese copy of the game that I bought it twice again when it got localized and had even more fun playing through on hard mode and with the 2 western exclusive Digimon and 7 new Digimon received through patching the game. I know the game is above Average. My critical side says so too. But my Fanboy-ish side absolutely loves this game.
I did play a few Digimon games for the DS, but I can't remember if they were Digimon Story. I played World DS, and either Dusk or Dawn, I think it was Dusk.
Oh, and Championship.
I can't read Japanese, so I never played Xros Wars.
Casp O'saurus Digimon World DS and Dusk/Dawn are story games.They changed the name in the west to world for some reason.
Lmao "fuck me eyes"
I enjoyed Cyber Sleuth and Hackers Memory however, I feel there are things they could work on to make the next games better.
1. Like Pokemon take us to other countries outside of Japan. I'd love to see not only US but Australia and Egypt and so much more.
2. To make the game more mature forgo the swearing and show that there are consequence for disputable actions. (I.e in Hackers Memory Ryuji should have been arrested or taken to a mental hospital but instead thanks to the world reset he got off the hook.) Show teens and adults that there are consequences for these things. More thoughts from other folks here that brought up some good points: @t
3. English/Spanish and other language dubbing.
4. More Digimon only 340 were in both Cyber Sleuth games for the Nintendo Switch version. If they can't put in all the Digimon they should have put at least halve in there I hear there's over 1000 or so. So not even 500 is disappointing.
5. More clothing options. Thought it was dumb to not have the Cyber Sleuth OC not able to were a Jacket like the character in Hackers Memory.
6. Copy and past dungeons and not enough background detail for the server dungeons. Kalwoon looked like it was ripped right out of Disneys Tron series as well so much blue.
I'd give this game 8/10 would recommend some things of course need work.
Would you play the sequel hacker's memory? I think both games have the same game mechanics and you said you was glad to experience this game once, but you wouldn't play it a second time.
I've got a Hacker's Memory video and it's nice to see I was pretty consistent on that opinion! They're a good 3-4 years apart though, so there may be some inconsistencies.
@@Caspicum Thanks for the answer. I will check your video later :)
Difficulty is strange, i made a mod on pc that is between the 1.0 and 1.5 of hard, original 2.0 on hard.
Unironically piercing attacks break the game to the point where not using them is throwing.
Im not a fan of the story or characters but the gameplay and variety of Digimon were fantastic in my opinion.
Will you be doing hacker's memory?
Yep!
Sorry if you've already answered this but why did your PSN account become banned?
I modded my PS3 in 2011, and used the same PSN account. About a week after buying Digimon World, they banned it. 5 bloody years later.
I'm totally at fault, but they're still cunts.
Casp O'saurus Ah, yeah that's really dumb. Thanks for the reply :)
Absolute brilliant review!
BTW n is the only consonant in Japanese that isn't followed by a vocal. Just saying. /beeingapussy
I'm not sure what I've contained within this video, I'm sure it's copious amounts of cringe.
@@Caspicum I don't know what that means. But I had to subscribe.
Dude the 2nd half of the story is also good. (Chapter 19 and 20 if u read what suedo is saying after u defeted the final Boss your gonna be mindblown at least i was)
I did read what he was saying, but it was very... Typical of Japanese games. Not a bad story, just something I've seen done time and time again.
+Casp O'saurus Ooo okay
Why was your PSN banned?
You should do a video on the 2 newest games
Digimon Story Cyber Sleuth- Hackers Memory’s on the PS4 and Vita it’s a sequel/expansion
And Digimon Links on the Android/iPhone!
I’m sure you’ll get tones of view from them
I've got plans to do Hacker's Memory at some point in the near future. I'm not a fan of mobile games though, as they're finite and will eventually go offline forever! Thanks for the recommendations!
Casp definitely np, as im currently grinding the crap out of Hackers memory, got a lot of super ultimate already and most megas, major down fall is the crazy 3 hours of talking in the slow beginning and the vaguely told directions on where to go for the mission in the game and way too much talking all to geather but over all it’s much like the first game...
Where as Digimon links is basically a sequel to Cyber Sleuth but not really as it takes most elements from Cyber Sleuth... I think bandi/namco saw the cash grab in the popularity and neatalga they decided it was a great way to get the fans to invest into the micro transactions...
There’s also a MMO witch is actually pretty good but I think it too heavily pay to play but you can grind heavily to still bet the game, you probably should look into that one too.
I also hate not being able to skip though the cut scenes... Bandi/Namco please make this available in the next Cyber Sleuth game... as they already confirmed a new Cyber Sleuth game and a new anime that follow Tri I believe.
Every game should have skippable cutscenes!
0:38 This is basically a knockoff of Oz seen at the start of Summer Wars, a movie made by the same director as Digimon Our War Game and is basically Digimon Our War Game without the Digimon.
Its funny that they change jimiken to jimmy ken in the secone one lol
2:33 why is there a Sega logo in this game?
I... I don't actually know.
Maybe they wanted a correct representation of the city, kinda like Akiba's Trip.
13:19 digidick really change the meaning of the entire dialogue isn't it?
Especially when talking to her while invisible from behind...
