Thread: Magna Carta

ok there taht new game, tears of blood for the ps2. (or something) My question is was there some other Magna Carta game or something, because I remeber seeing images of the characters in that game around, cept I don't know where. And if there is a game previous to Tear of Blood, was it console or pc.

I remember seeing images for magna carta long ago, but I only found out where it came from just today.

It was originally a south korean game for pc made by softmax.
Based on someone who played it, it had a lot of bugs which have been fixed in the ps2 version.

gamespot reviewed it as well... 7.1 i think

I've been playing Magna Carta, it's an Okay rpg, nice graphics, but I tell you what, long loading screens on a good ps2. About 10 second load screens for plenty of things, the save which is only 88kb takes a while to save aswell. The game it has an interesting concept and fighting style, DDR intermediate players will master the combat system after a few minutes.

DDR? wha?

If you start using the dance pad to the battles then I'm gonna advoid it.

No no no, It's just the style on how you do combos, okay here is an example well.. verbal..

There is a wheel it is still when you approach an enemy, and have enough "Leadership" to use an attack, It might start with X, and then be O, O are the other 2 keys you put in, you have to get all to be great to unlock no skills in your current style, but you don't have to get all greats to go to the next combo.

ex. X, O, O, are on the sphere you press them and time them correctly and get greats, you unlock a new skill it is automatically usable.

ex. O, O, O is the next one you have to type in, it is stage 2 of the combo and does more damage and may hit the enemy 3 instead of 2 times, etc.. But these presses are timed.

DDR players just usually have good timing in games o.o; Well I do at least.

Also another hint if you are bad at timing, you can just memorize how much time between button presses you need to get great each time, I started using this instead of just watching the reel and using the right timing, like half a second. and if you use square, your attacks can double in strength depending on how much your meter is full. DAMN this game is easier to play than explain.

So would you say the game is worth buying.

I would buy it if it was about 30 dollars or less, though honestly I believe you can get a few better RPGs out there, load time on this game is a real drag, I'm not kidding =/, buy digital devil saga part 1 instead, fun, good very little load time at least 5x-10x less than Magna Carta. acting intresting art style(You get used to it after a little while.)
