Accordion Man posted:Agree to disagree then, because I almost never play WRPGs for the combat. You're polite and kind, but I still think you're smoking nine kinds of crack to think any sort of quicktime event where you are literally just pushing one button very fast is a good gameplay mechanic.

MikeJF posted:What's the story behind this impossible Chrono Trigger sequel? Just some interviews with Chris Avellone and Feargus Urquhart. Urquhart posted:Since Obsidian and Square Enix have been conversing for some time, I asked Urquhart if there was any franchise other than Dungeon Siege 3 they would like to work on. Avellone posted:Chrono Trigger was clearly an RPG to me - one of the best ever, even. And the amount of choices and consequences you had in that game, like within the first hour, was just excellent. So, basically Urquhart once mentioned they wouldn't mind doing a Chrono Trigger game, and if they did, I doubt anyone else except Avellone could be the project lead, given his enthusiasm for the game.

I love the hypothetical finished version of Chrono Cross where they didn't run out of time and dump an entire disc's worth of content and plot clarification into some ghosts telling it to you on the beach before the final fight and cut Magus/Janus from the game and just change what was there to Guile and they had time to polish discs one and two properly. I do wonder if it was one of those games (cough FF7 cough) where the Japanese script was much clearer than the English one. MikeJF fucked around with this message at 23:17 on Dec 11, 2013 |

RadicalR posted:You got one here. I just smile and ignore the story and enjoy the pretty music/graphics/battle. Pretty much this. You cant hate a game that has such an amazing soundtrack, and most jRPGs dont make much sense anyways if you think about them too hard. Crono Cross just took it to a whole new level. Some sort of sequel to CT/CC would be my dream kickstarter, and if Torment is getting a sequel I can dare to dream.

A kickstarter to educate the youth about the constitution! The story - quote:Little-known Founding Father wannabe Jefferson Quincy Washington III, Esq. has lost the Seven Articles of the United States Constitution. Now, James Madison - the Father of the Constitution - has sent YOU on a great quest to find and recover all seven articles - just in time for the Founders to sign the Constitution for Constitution Day. Each Founder that they meet will send them on a minigame adventure that will lead them to the next article.      The introduction to that podcast, if you don't want to listen to it (I know I don't), is a bit of a country song with an old white man saying "Government is not the solution to our problem. Government is the problem." Followed by another white man saying "I only have one thing to say to the tax increasers: Go ahead, make my day." I couldn't listen beyond that because the actual cast's audio came out garbled. And don't forget, quote:Founded in 1996 by Andy McKean and his late wife Kathy, Liberty Day is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to educating American students about the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and American government.  Surprisingly, they didn't lie about that. If you contribute you have a chance to win this sweetass poster!  Wait, I thought raffles weren't allowed on Kickstarter?

http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/kissltd/project-nimbus This mech game that popped up looks kind of cool, like Strike Suit Zero with just the mech parts put in (or rather, Omega Boost). It's on Greenlight too, I think I voted it up. Also, Wings Remastered hit its goal, for anyone who wanted to know. Zeether fucked around with this message at 04:39 on Dec 12, 2013 |

elf help book posted:Yeah, that's what Chrono Cross needed: more Chrono Cross. I can understand where he is coming from. The problem with killing off Crono, Lucca and Marle is that it feels cheapened on the way its presented. If they could have given it the proper pathos, it could have felt like a decent epilogue...they didn't live happily ever after. Guile was the worst. He is an amnesiac Magus but his story never got anywhere. I could almost see the scene where Serge, Kid and Guile get the letter that Lucca gave to that scientist lady. Where Lucca explains to Kid that she almost expected someone from those terminated futures to come looking for her and her friends. When she spoke directly to Magus/Janus, it could have been a moment in which Guile recovers his memory. The ending where you rescue Schala would have worked much better without the idiotic nonsense about sperm and eggs.

Hey, they changed your Backer History page, added tick boxes to indicate whether you've received rewards or not, and split the unsuccessful and cancelled projects to their own category down the bottom. Handy change that! Must have been a recent change, I'm sure I saw the old and useless page only a few days ago. NTRabbit fucked around with this message at 15:43 on Dec 13, 2013 |

Al Baron posted:Would you folks count alphas/beta as 'delivered'? I mean its all your own call, dude. I'm using 'delivered' as a way to mark off "This guy gave me everything he said he would, and I can forget about this kickstarter now", so in that case, no. That way I can look back at which things are unchecked and go "oh man, I did play the beta for ____, but did I ever get that other thing I was promised?" Now that I've backed quite a few projects, its good to have a reminder that you didn't get something you were owed, so you know to go send them some messages.

I'm not seeing a Leisure Suit Larry topic anymore in live threads so I might as well post this here. Al Lowe left Replay games at the end of his contract, Replay wrote a statement ascribed to Lowe putting his departure in the rosiest of terms. Lowe says he had nothing to do with the statement, and said he left for various reasons including a 2012 incident involving Replay CEO Paul Trowe. What was this incident you might ask? Well, Paul Trowe apparently sent indecent materials to a 15 year old girl. Trowe who is gay or some facsimile there of supposedly had some sort of thing going on with some other guy who was involved with this underage girl. I thought he looked like a creepy rear end in a top hat from the offset, and am not all that surprised.

I thought we didn't have a LLL topic anymore because nobody cared about LLL.  But yup. It sucks that a young kid was involved in something like that. Also, going back to fill out some stuff because of the Kickstarter update has helped me realize I had been missing a thing or two that I've contacted the the Kickstarter project teams about. Good for Kickstarter for having a system like this in place; super useful. Drifter fucked around with this message at 20:02 on Dec 13, 2013 |

Bonus: RPS posted:In November this year, Trowe outed a transexual woman and former colleague via his Twitter account, having previously said to her, “you’re the worst looking transsexual I have ever seen” on her Facebook wall. I’m not linking to this, since it could only cause further pain for the recipient, but have seen the statements first hand. They come across as purely spiteful, revenge for negative remarks made about Trowe.

The Leisure Suit Larry remake is quite possibly one of the most misguided and horror releases in recent memory for a large number of reason so gently caress it. That entire company seems to have a terminal case of Not Getting It.
