This game is generally considered the worst in the series, is it still worth playing?

[Loiya]

Supposedly the story's all over the place and February's game release schedule is actively trying to kill me as-is, is the game bad enough to warrant making it the only game in the series I skip?

like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ if you're gonna ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ me at least fabricate something like "the endings to the arcs for some returning characters are ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥" or something along the line that would make people think you at least Looked At The Game, your current method just feels like you're regurgitating Joe Rogan's gamer podcast

So, basically, you think I just made all of this up purely because you received an answer you didn't like? Yeah, I suppose the reputation that this game has is all a lie I manufactured also. Or that it wasn't actually a flop for Falcom that has caused a decline in the fanbase and I'm just lying about too...

All you've shown here in this thread is you're someone that is incapable of having a conversation with differing opinions. You don't want to hear an opposing opinion at all. You want someone that will tell you what you want to here, and when you didn't get that from me you went and started in with personal attacks.

Even more shameful is when you did get a response more in line with what you wanted to hear, you used basically the entirety of that post in response to them to insult me more three (3) days later!

Please, do yourself a favor and read the last couple sentences of my post that you just quoted there. Weird would be an understatement here. If you can't maintain civility on a public forum with varying opinions, then frankly, you shouldn't be using it.

lmfao you're bad at this

Seeing "Hey I want to know why this game is considered bad and if it's still worth playing in spite of that" and posting a half-dozen paragraphs that amount to "It's bad and unsuccessful and unpopular" without any elaboration is really not an appropriate response whether you're taking this seriously or just trolling. You showed that you missed the point of the question entirely and not-at-all-subtly declared yourself a nuisance acting in bad faith when you generally want to avoid that, regardless of whether you're trying to convince or ♥♥♥♥ with people. Like ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I stopped reading your schlock after the first follow-up post, you've wasted far more time on this than I have! Touch grass and go back to the basics! You actually suck at talking to people!

Don't you find this statement ironic? They said your decision to purchase the game or not hinges on how much you liked Daybreak, and that Daybreak 2 was poorly received because it's even more rushed and cheaply made than past Falcom games, which says a lot about the game, actually, and you can infer what that implies.

The people whose responses you've accepted provided no further insight into the game, by the way. One stated that Daybreak was the "best game since Zero," which you agreed with to the point of providing an award, another effectively says the dislike was temporary, while providing a take on the game's structure, and the third says Daybreak 2's worth playing because you're already paying the sunk cost. To me, and I'm not involved in your argument with Seagal, you come off as someone who came here looking for some form of validation or confirmation bias, just based on your unhinged reaction to their comments.

You know this isn't a series in which you can skip games. Especially not mid-arc. What you're really asking is if you should drop the series now or not, and you already know your answer to that. I think your main issue with Seagal here is that they're too critical of Falcom for your liking, rather than them not providing the information you're looking for, as again, none of the others have, either.

Daybreak was one of their best selling quit using jp metrics. Falcom stated themselves money and sells comes from western market

[Briscuit]

As for reviews its good


As some one whos played the jp and korean version op this game has some of the best highes but also some extremely low lows. Over all its enjoyable and but not one of the top in series but its got the same rep sky 3rd did on release where people hated on it and called it filler but after playing kai its far from filler. It was rushed but it improved alot of things that durante used for nisas daybreak 1

[Raffi]

Well.
In my opinion it's okay, but definitly one of the weaker trial games.

For those who are interested i write bit without major spoiler. But since it's the "Trials Formula" you can guess how the story evolves, thats why i hide it behind spoilers.



A part of the game is build around the "Märchen garden". A virtual world designed by our favorite shadycompany M.T.S.C (Märchen = German for fairytail)

It was hacked and we need to get it back by conquer it.

During the Mainstory you get access to more and more floors.

unfortunatly the märchen garden is what you get when you order the reverie corridor on whish.... In comparsion it's pretty poor designed and boring. Most likely because you didn't have a hub like the garden in TRC which takes away the complete immersion with the party. It's only a menu where you navigate everything like buy/sell/orbments/party etc. and can only active play the floors which you have to conquer.


The game starts about 2 months after the ending of Daybreak 1.
Elaine comes to Van and submits a 4SPG to investigate the case around a serial killer.

The first part is mostly like reverie.
In Act 1 and Act 2 you have 2 (1 A, 1B, 2A, 2B) routes and can choose with which one you start. In every step you have specific characters available.

After the 2 Chapters there is a "intermission" Chapter with the whole gang, which really pushes the mainstory.

After that, starting with Act 3, ♥♥♥♥ is about to get serious.

For me, this is the worst of the entire series.

Cold Steel 1 and Cold Steel 2 (the ones not done by NIS) are peak of the series. Everything else is overpriced, excessively padded fodder. Including Daybreak.

Daybreak wasn't as bad as Reverie, but still.

[Macona]

Is this really worth arguing about? It's too subjective to give a definitive black & white answer as to whether it's good or bad compared to the rest of the series.

and you're all going to buy & play it regardless anyways...

[NisseDood]

If this is considered the worst I would be worried because whole cold steel arc ranged from mediocre to terrible.
Azure was the last good trails game and also the arc where the series peaked.

Thats a question i ask myself for example on every battlefield, fifa, NBA Game.
I would never pay even 20 Bucks for them.

Even if i would buy the 150 Bucks version - i already know that i'm gonna play it for around 200 hours (2 times for 100% all ACM, all Floors for the märchen garden etc.). So even that would be a good value in terms of Dollar/Playtime ratio.

CS 3 and 4 for example i played for 600 Hours each - pretty good value i guess

Daybreak wasn't as bad as Reverie, but still.

Cold Steel 1 is the worst game in the series by far imo, still a decent game though.
