Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne by ShinerCCC & Freedom_Pulse - RPG Limit Break 2022

[@RPGLimitBreak]

Run Start: 7:00 Interview with ShinerCCC & Freedom_Pulse: 7:56:31

[@Testiskulls]

One of the greatest games of all time in my eyes

[@nobodytonobodysbusiness]

The best hands down

[@TheBelt]

Not just in yours.

[@camwyn256]

In your eyes, the light returns

[@raymilbelmont2521]

Best game ever actually

[@Cow1337Saver]

Great game but.. I would never recommend it to a casual rpg player

[@ShinerCCC]

6:04:49 I would like to point out that I was strung out and forgetful at 9 AM after staying awake all night, these are the wrong chords. There is an A pedal tone underneath all of them, I was two-thirds correct with each of my first two options (C first, Bm second). The A bass means it's more like Am7 Bm/A Am. thank you.

[@tonberry50]

idk man it sounded great to me also loved the *something* for everyone's souls @ 6:47:20 super enjoyed the run

[@BB-cn7tg]

One of the best RPGs out there. So dark, so tough. Thanks for running it!

[@ShinerCCC]

It's not tough at all on Normal mode. I submitted Hard any% but I'm glad they brought Freedom in with me for this unique meatspace event. Maybe I'll get a Hard mode remote run in some later year! 👀

[@NicolaAcoust]

this is actually one of the best things the internet has to offer. two top guys running a game that's grindy, intimate, repetitive and addictive in a bad sense (but awesome), turning it into a very entertaining show of generous length. also features an impossibly charismatic comentator! Nobody EVER enjoyed watching me play this game, or any Atlus game for that mattrer. Iin fact my GF hated it, but Freedom and Shiner made it actually very varied and interesting. Ace video, performance and cause.

[@karnazbashi]

Two of the greatest runners of all time. Amazing commentary throughout 8 hours.

[@larsg.2492]

Thank you very much, to the runners and staff. Always love a SMT3 run, equally as entertainig as the run from pinkpajamas all the years back.

[@Kradoneem]

This was a really enjoyable and informative run, thank you!

[@RavenGivens]

I'm so glad I was baited by "Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry Series" otherwise I think I never would've played this god level RPG, still got my copy that crashes every time I use freigukel lol

[@nerrickk9024]

That otamatone was glorious.

[@ShinerCCC]

arigatou 🙏

[@JeanBabtisteGrenoui]

It took me a week to watch this run in the moments I had after work . Loved it. I was walking my dogs and i kept hearing "rakukaja, sukukaja" in my head, echoing.

[@TerminallyNerdy]

I was here live and now I am gonna WATCH IT AGAIN

[@CIELLOR]

I'm just gonna say this: it's terryfing for me to see how shiner knows by heart the puzzle boy game ☠

[@ShinerCCC]

I was decent at it before the marathon but I spent most of my hours in the practice room really getting it down. I worked out a blindfolded solution but memorizing it was going to be hopeless a few days before the marathon...also there was a mistake in it anyway

[@GeneFreakPlays]

Might have been Stage 19 where I gave up the Puzzle Boy back in the day after some hours of playing and I remember it was so hard to put the controller down and give up... Great to see someone beat it in a flash!

[@dangerszewski9816]

regarding the comment during the intro-- There being no bathrooms is mythologically accurate: hell is described as "damnation **without** relief".

[@GhostKumo]

Featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry series

[@D0ct0rD4RK]

I bought Nocturne when it released and I absolutely loved it. I remember grinding the final dungeon to get my character to level 255, even though the UI capped at 99.

[@argoth231]

Great run. HD remake for me. Mainly cause of skill choosing. Here's hoping we get a devil saga remaster

[@minaly22]

>Mainly cause of skill choosing. Oh gods same! After playing it once on PS2 I never wanted to touch random skills ever again. Also same reason why I bought Persona 4 Golden.

[@maskedgamerjoker6148]

I want both Digital Devil Saga and Raidou Kuzunoha Duology to have a HD Remastered

[@kayame18]

3:20:00 I have a trauma getting hama'd by an angel despite being pretty high level

[@philiphunt-bull5817]

Featuring Pyro Jack from the Jack Bros Series

[@son_60han]

Lol shinnerccc voice as specter really like A. Schwarzenegger from adult swim

[@ekremsait]

freedom pulse is the funniest lmao

[@merevel436]

I died five times in that bloody tutorial on my current run. ;-;

[@walter4180]

No offense to the donation reader but jesus, the repeated "mothman mothman mothman" and "puzzle boy puzzle puzzle boy" etc was exceedingly grating 90% of everything else including run, commenter and donations were perfectly fine but that was kind of annoying

[@Aaron-mj9ie]

Woah! RPG Limit Break is back?!?!

[@jormamma1643]

4:57:27

[@camwyn256]

Wow. That introduction. Such a long title for a run

[@camwyn256]

19:09 lol. I'm literally eating Gummi worms while watching this

[@WodeckiOfficial]

time stamp for matador?

[@ShinerCCC]

memes decree I'm supposed to say "aw you just missed him" but the actual timestamp is 1:37:47

[@KardFett]

5:29:40 That statement didn't age well, haha

[@ShinerCCC]

👀any 1.0.4 enjoyers reading this in 2023?

[@SYMgenshin]

Piplup with mask is so funny

[@critical_6164]

3:31:21

[@BW-vp3yk]

Good lord... I'm 18 minutes in and the announcer just needs to chill out. Very loud interruptions, forcing the runners to talk about donation incentives when they literally just said they were going to play a little tune... I mean come on, next time please just let them do their thing.

[@ShinerCCC]

nah I think we had a good dynamic. More interruptions early on when there's a lot of game mechanics to introduce but they carried us at the end when we were tired and strung out in the Tower of Kagutsuchi. If I had something to talk about during a boss fight I told em off good. Hardly any dead air with no rehearsal, pretty good in my opinion

[@tresman91]

If the audio had been balanced better she would have been more fun to listen to for sure. As it is I had to turn down the video when she talked. Honestly audio balancing is such a huge issue for these kinds of events, really wish we could get it figured out.

[@tyronemccarter1907]

Ifya know the hex digits, you can start a save and have infinite light yourself! Ps2 only tho lol

[@mattdespard6576]

It feels wrong to play Nocturne on anything other than Hard difficulty

[@GhostKumo]

Most Nocturne runners run True Demon End on Hard. It's also like a 13-14 hour long marathon run; very cool run, but harder to fit on a schedule. I recommend checking out the online run of that category that is on this channel by PinkPajamas, or Shiner's or Pajama's run for events like ReallyReallyLongAThon.

[@ShinerCCC]

Agreed! But the option is there.

[@Lincolnlogsoff]

Why? If you don't change any options and play it how the developers intended the difficulty is normal.

[@KatelynTea]

​@@Lincolnlogsoff actually the game seems to have been built around hard mode, the way normal is easier is because the game just cuts all enemy damage in half (as well as shop prices being cheaper) so it's clear that hard was the difficulty the devs built the game around. Either way play the game how you want don't let anyone stop you

[@freedom_pulse97]

@@KatelynTea This is not entirely accurate. The original JP-only release of the game, in addition to not having Dante, the fiends, or the Amala Labyrinth, also only had one difficulty setting which was kinda halfway between what we now have as Normal and Hard. You took about 1.5x the damage of Normal mode (or 75% the damage you take on hard), shop prices were what you see on our Normal Mode, and the run rate was lower than Normal. But you still had some of the "hard mode" elements like guaranteed crits on back attacks. So *technically* the game wasn't built around either difficulty setting available to us in this case.

[@Lazyworker123]

1:32:26 if people are going to donate with these kinds of messages don’t read them. No amount of money gives you an excuse to be an asshole. This was obnoxious and annoying. Embarrassing that this was read aloud.

[@TatsuyaAct]

Mothman is a meme in the smt community and is loved by most of the smt runners and it has its own Emote. nothing about this is being an asshole and what not. So chill down and enjoy the run

[@bmac4]

Its a meme bro chill

[@freedom_pulse97]

One of the runners here, just echoing what others have said, also worth noting that before the run I specifically requested that any Mothman or Heeho-related comments be read because of how beloved those demons are in the community and they are a great way to get people excited about raising money for charity.

[@crazzluz1702]

"How dare other people have fun!" TIL meme donations = being an asshole. How do you even live this stuck up?

[@tayziko4801]

bruh that was literally nothing let ppl have fun lol

[@TestNewphone-f6n]

So i was watching to see whats so special about SMT the dark souls of JRPGs apparently .... buffing ....yourself and debuffing enemies is..... is what jrpg players think is hard... eh whatever. have fun
