Uh... I guess if paying money for games made in RPG maker is considered a good expenditure. Considering I have tried dozens and they are all either incredibly mediocre or obviously unfinished (though touted as "release status") in ways that make them largely unplayable. The three for 1$ look...

X was the last main game (Admittedly, I haven't played FFX-2) to have actual turn based combat, instead of the ATB system that has been in place from FF4 onward. IT actually lets you decide what you are going to do, instead of racing the clock in many instances. Instead of knowing that the...

No lie, I didn't use the estus potion deal to time his swings, but I did do basically that exact thing the second time I beat gwyn. First time was me rolling/running around like a retard waiting for a second to shoot my bow (yes, I ran a bow build the first time through the game. Hi Pharis'...

Both those anime are strictly better than the .hack ones, including the ones leading up to //GU. SAO is more about "survival" while Log Horizon is touching on some more interesting concepts within mmorpgs and persistent online games. Both are pretty f'n awesome.

This is rerolled. There's far more than just the "odd penis" here. JRPGs in general scratch a very specific itch: the world is ending, you need someone to do flashy cool shit in a totally anime style fighting ridiculous robots/dragons/gods/Kefkas to save it, and this ladyboy is all you can...

There's a caveat to Xenogears. And that is the intro to the second disc. The rest of the game is f'n fantastic, but rocking chair story-time was terrible then and is terrible now. It does detract from the overall game, but Xenogears still has the best story (and some of the best jrpg...

That's honestly kind of the problem with PVP and games where gear/stats/abilities scale with playtime. People who just start have pretty much zero chance against anyone (this extends to mmos as well) while the people who started at release get a much more even playing field. People -will- pull...

Just knowing Rake's background and what being a Jahgut means changes so much of the narrative from what you experience in the vacuum that is Gardens of the Moon. A great book, sure, but it is much better as a reread when you know about Whiskeyjack's past, just how powerful Quickben is, and how...

It's going to end with the various tailed beasts resisting Madara and knowing that they are going to be wiped out if Madara is killed with no transplant available. Naruto is going to sacrifice them (and his inner self) to beat Madara, but be unable to be Hokage because of it. Cue Sasuke and...

Hair draped across it, before she decided to camwhore it up. Oh yeah, pic. GIS for "camwhore it up"

There's a lot going on with the medical industry that drives up costs, and some of it would have been handled a bit better had we switched to a one-payer system. Sadly, Obamacare was gutted and the sad shell that remains is only going to piss off people with existing insurance that they like...

Fuck yes. Devil Survivor was on par with any Etrian Odyssey game in the difficulty department alone, not even including engaging story et-al.

I'm late to the 3dsXL party, but I'm here now. I refuse to buy a PS4 or Xbone until a good RPG/Strat game comes out as an exclusive, because PC Master Race. But I will buy them, just like I purchased a Wii, a 360, and a PS3. Because eventually, something exclusive is the shit, and I have to...

My entire circle of friends bought the xboxone on release or right after. They had literally zero idea about the drm stuff or anything else, just that they played CoD on Xbox so they had to get the new xbox to play the new CoD. Intrawebz people may have railed about the shitty decision making...

Being a dungeon on a linear path is a much easier sell than a linear dungeon on a linear path. That is how modern games sort of failed the c-c-c-combo they had running for years. Phoenix Cave in FF6 is 3x the "dungeon" that any game since has had. Even 7 had you in much linear paths through...

I still associate certain songs with various video games/years/classes to this day thanks to the 80s/90s. Head like a Hole = Class of 1999 = the movie that was playing in the background while I played Oregon Trail for the first time on an apple 2e. These days, I will totally admit to bands...

Probably covered in this same thread earlier, but the reason why the majority of heroes in FF games (literally every single one, including the first game) look like emo-ladyboys is because of the Japanese aesthetic sensibilities employed by Yoshitaka Amano and other artists. In Japan, there's a...

Strikingly similar!

Exposure from a young age and the prevalence of "casual" games that have massive qualities have probably dulled the mmorpg interest somewhat, I would imagine. Especially since a fairly big chunk of people tend to get to max level, find out they don't have time for raids or something similar...

Kill la Kill's logic is superb. "If he can transform twice, then I can too!"

Direct it like Memento, but in reverse sort of. Show him kicking ass all the way to the end, with flashbacks that show him dying to the myriad shit before. Have the entire movie be harsh breathing/grunts/curses as the only real spoken words, until he comes across like 1-2 characters (The sun...

I could see them focusing on the Farm stuff way more than everything else. Like show him in Texas being a drunk, getting the power, doing some silly shit by accident, and then thinking he's the Man. Then, he gets kidnapped by people he can't use the Word on and spending 1-2 seasons with that...

Technology killed socialization within MMOs, because it is much easier and more productive to be sociable outside of them. Otherwise you aren't maximizing your online time. Had Facebook existed during EQ's heyday, groups would have been just as silent as they are today. Except wipes would...

This isn't Titanic! You don't know if the boat sinks or not! Alright that's silly. Of -course- the boat sinks. Otherwise we are all inbred.

Because apparently I like making retarded posts while drunk. Anyway! "Episode" was awesome and all the cames were great. Dr. Rockso showing up was f'n hilarious.

Not being a douche, but I have paid for every Dethklok album regardless. I f'n love supporting good artists. Same reason I pay for every Tool or APC or NIN release.

I'm not in the industry, but I've always wondered at the methodology behind the design process. Do they start with "fun" ideas (action movie type awesome scenes) and then try to translate them to gameplay, or do they start with spreadsheets (DnD style math) and then try to extrapolate fun from...

Since the folks behind Kill la Kill are the same folks behind Tengen Toppa Gurren Laggan, I have full faith that we haven't even begun to see the crazy yet. And I am 100% looking forward to when it does hit the real levels of awesome. Also, Log Horizon is great. It has a much less...

Absolutely epic. Easily one of the best shows on TV, animated or otherwise.

That really looks similar to the first Penny Arcade rpg that came out, but with more going on. The perfect block stuff especially.

Fedor is a procedural cop drama. We see the evidence, and we -know- that the suspect is guilty. But we click and go through the motions anyway because Law & Order have trained us entirely too well. And the cycle perpetuates itself.

Skyrim has a reliable breadcrumb trail, that you can totally ignore if you want. Dark Souls has zero trail and just "well, if you go up and ring a bell, and then down and ring a bell... something happens?" as the sole narrative. One of the few games where the story exists at the leisure of the...

I've been reading this manga for almost a decade at this point. It has gone past the point of honestly caring about the story and now I just want to see how it ends. I mean I -know- how it ends, but I gotta see if I'm right or not with my prediction!

Why didn't they have the Vizards start face punching people if they have hollow powers... I think at this point, much like Naruto the roster of characters is just fucking gigantic, and the writers aren't that smart. Too many plot holes or unfinished concepts to keep track of, so anyone with...

I would hazard a guess that a large percentage of CoD players (focusing on xbox) are also Madden players. And that CoD players on the PC play far more than just CoD. The CoD guys -will- buy every iteration of CoD that comes out, but they will also play other online competitive games in most...

JRPG players generally dislike CoD players who generally dislike platformer players who generally dislike Madden players. Basically, gamers are people who play games and create dumb reasons to dislike other people who play games. CoD players definitely fit into that paradigm!

The difference being that Superman had no options. He wasn't a partially aware weapon with multiple modes of dealing with issues/people. Superman had his knowledge of what would transpire if he let Zod go. And that was death for 1+ people. People that Superman identified with, whereas Zod...

Proof positive. You had taken your individual values of progression (and the concepts there of) and applied them across the board. It doesn't actually reflect reality, only the reality that you have imposed upon yourself. This, right here, is the reason why "socializing" is dead in modern...

Technically there's still half a season to be played. Not that it matters, since the Cowboys have beaten each of their division rivals in a game now. We are basically set until December hits, when we lose shit because Romo hates months that start with D. He -hates- the D. And then there's the...
