    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    A race mission is what killed a couple games for me. Saint's Row 1: The only one of the original four that I didn't finish, and it's because halfway through there's a race mission that just Did. Not. Work. I couldn't finish it no matter how many tries I threw at it. No clue what the issue was...

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    Yeah I have a ton of nostalgia for Xenogears. Was nothing else like it at the time, at least readily available to me. The final boss fight is interesting because it's significantly easier if you take out the four supports (Metatron, etc) before the core, but doing that also saps your resources...

    Final Fantasy 16

    13-2 was great. Sort of a modern Chrono Trigger with time-hopping. Lightning Returns was alright, I liked how similar it was to Majora's Mask and it was fun to play. 15 was...full of problems, so missing that is fine. The brotherhood of the main characters is enjoyable, but not much else. As...

    Just sucks that he never dropped the title before leaving. Lapses in world title lineage piss me off, and were a big part of the WCW world title's value rapidly going downhill in early 2000. He also beat a ton of people of note in the company and they aren't getting their wins back. Guys like...

    Black Adam (2021)

    Is this movie somehow outperforming The Woman King? I kept reading what a smash success it was from breathless twitter journalists.

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    Is that the toughest boss? (Aside from the final boss of course) Not talking about Sekiro, but one thing I can't stand is when the final boss of a game is astronomically harder than everything before it. FFX - Sin and Braska's Final Aeon both have HP in the 150k+ range, when bosses before that...

    Me a few weeks ago. Everyone involved has been mum and nobody seems to actually know anything. What a fuckin' waste of money, and more importantly, waste of the comeback of the decade. Punk should seek help, but he won't because he "doesn't believe in doctors".

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    I thought about making this topic about just areas/bosses in general, not just final areas/bosses. However, it felt like it might be more interesting/focused if it were down to just the final parts of games, since that's the part where we're the most locked-in, the part that'll leave us with our...

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    Can somebody sum up what was so bad about the ME3 ending? ME1 and 2 were two of my favorite games circa 2012. I played the hell out of both of them for weeks while I was in college, and they single-handedly got me back interested in Star Trek which prompted me to do big watches of some of the...

    I've got plans for Sekiro, "put aside an entire 1-2 weeks and focus entirely on it" type plans. Unfortunately they gotta wait until the new year, most likely. From what I've played I think it has a good chance of becoming my favorite Fromsoft game which is crazy.

    You just described both the right and the left in the US. They just have different boogeymen and different levels of aggressiveness about whether or not other people need to adhere to what they believe.

    I don't want to spend too much time on it or grind up classic-style. I'd just like it if levels took more than 10 minutes. Traveling to a new zone sometimes takes longer than actually playing in the new zone does. A lot of this might be because of the EXP buff, though. Game is probably fine...

    For Icecrown, what's the best point to start from? It looks like it has entrances from Storm Peak, Sholazar, and Crystalsong. I went in from Crystalsong just because that's where I was at that moment, but I'd been meaning to ask if there's a better starting point.

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    The music in that Ori clip sounds super emotional and stuff. Is the whole game like that? I get the impression it's a game that'll depress me, or make me feel things, one or the other. For me it was Shrine of Amana in Souls 2, probably the worst area in the entire series. I played both the...

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    Xenogears is pretty rough in that regard. I think you might be able to backtrack out of the final area but it's a ridiclous trek. The only "underleveled" you can be there is not having better Gear parts. I think there's a shop at Duneman's Isle or something that sells uber-strong gear parts...

    Final Fantasy 16

    Looks good, but I have to say, the battles remind me a lot of FF15. That is, all flash, no substance. Hope I'm wrong. Would love to see the battle system of one of the old games return (1-9, or 10, or 12, or even 13) rather than another action-oriented chaotic schmozz. At least the characters...

    Considering I'm only playing this once every five years or so, yeah, it taking 20 hours to level instead of 8 would be a bit more interesting. I hope I can spend some real time in Storm Peaks and Icecrown without leveling right out of them. Moving on from Zul'Drak next time I play (level 26)...

    What game(s) had a final area/boss that ruined the game for you?

    Thought this might be an interesting topic. What are things that made you tap out at the 11th hour on finishing a game? Or maybe you slogged through and it just kinda ruined your memories of an otherwise-enjoyable game? Not too long ago I was playing Romancing Saga 2, and the final boss is so...

    The only speedrunning I do is Super Metroid. Probably the only thing I'm good at enough for that. My best time is something like 1:15, with the WR being :43 or so I think. I run it about once a year. It's a little tougher now because I get input lag sometimes with emulation. Like PSClassic...

    Nice, I'm just gonna wait until the 25th to keep leveling then. I'm level 18 now IIRC. Leveling is way more fun with variety of talent points to spend, they must have been on crack when they changed it.

    Yes. Switch has a ton of exclusives so I got a Switch. Otherwise I'm missing out on Mario/Metroid/Zelda. PS5 has a some exclusives, so I got that too. Bloodborne springs to mind (technically it's PS4 but yeah). XBox (whichever it's up to in their bizarre naming) doesn't really have anything I...

    I remember when the game had you buy new versions of spells, at the very least. Now it's just your level 1 spell the whole way. Looks like if you choose an expac in Chromie Time it changes the zones to 50 max. So Icecrown went from "25-30" to "25-50". That's awesome, now I can spend some more...

    Yeah, it's nuts. People need to actually be asked to work a little bit if you want them to be invested in your game. And people like being challenged, having something expected out of them when they play a game, otherwise what's the point? WoW has always just given people shit, and rolled over...

    Nope retail. Level 14 now, did Hellfire Peninsula a bit to get that dose of "first day of TBC" nostalgia, then switched to Wrath with Chromie and I guess I'll just go wherever makes sense there. Kind of a bummer that the BG queue seems nonexistent in the 10's.

    I'll skip Netherstorm due to it being so out of the way. Uldum kinda is too but I don't mind crossing Kalimdor. What happened to Eye of the Storm anyway? That'd get me a Netherstorm fix, except it isn't in the battleground list anymore. What level do you get flight abilities at this point...

    I think the one on the left is.... I thought the one on the right was, until I saw the one on the left. The one on the right has a waist-to-hip ratio that is unmistakably female. Never realized until recently how similar a lot of women look to men face-wise if you take away the long hair and...

    Funny you say that because over the last 3 years I've pretty much noped out of women altogether. Though at the moment I'm getting the urge to get back into it.

    This is another thing I don't like about WoW (besides how it obsoletes content). You level so goddamn fast that you miss content unless you intentionally slow way down. You can either: A) Do everything in the early Northrend zones to get the most out of them, then be max level before you even...

    Probably by spamming dungeons the whole way while fighting random mobs in-between and looking at the cool trees. 90% sure that's how it went. Similar thing happened in TBC where by the time I got to Netherstorm, I did like two quests before I hit 70 and had the whole rest of the zone left...

    I played everything up through BFA. Legion was awesome. I'd like to revisit TBC and Wrath, with some vanilla zones early on (the Undercity area till like level 20 was my favorite, culminating with Shadowfang Keep). Ideally I could do that area until like 10, then Outland 10-30 and Northrend...
