Golden Goat posted:I never did the emblem stuff, just the main story. It's like Mario where it's just random missions to get an emblem, right? there's five emblems per level, one for finishing and then the other four are always Get 100 Rings/Find the Lost Chao/Finish in X Minutes/Hard Mode also there's emblems for getting all A ranks and emblems for the chao garden stuff but those are easy to cheat at with the mythical animals and animal reuse glitch

I went into a weird rabbit hole of playing Adventure Island games because... I dunno. I just need to beat the last world of AI2 which thankfully has a world select so I don't have to leave the drat console on to continue from where I left off. Maybe I will finish I am Setsuna one of these days but I also got into Gotta Protectors and horse solitaire game so...

I don't know why but I played a lot of Adventure Island 2 on the NES, I wound up renting it like a dozen times as a kid for whatever reason. I think I just really liked the dinosaur companions you could ride.

i ended up switching to gen2 because the gen1 catch rate is heinous. i randomized types but i'm thinking of starting over without randomized types because that can be a pain.

I'm playing through Dark Souls 1 with my brother using a connectivity mod, and it works very well. The first half of the game is still undoubtedly the finest the series has ever been. Even Blighttown felt fun to traverse, even as my brother and I got into each other's way a lot on the thin platforms. A few times we got invaded by players who could kill us in one hit but only took about an eighth of their health in damage from one of our own backstabs. poo poo's annoying, and we feel no shame in Alt-F4ing

FactsAreUseless posted:I'm not really far enough in for it to be any different from regular FF12. I'm a big fan of vanilla FF12, but it'll be nice for the optimal strategy not to be "every character has tons of white magic and powerful melee attacks." It doesn't change strategies too drastically but it does remove that "Master of all Trades" feeling the original system had.

I finished up Ys VIII last night and spent this morning trying to 100% the map but I think I missed some side stuff that opens up the final area because I don't know a single word of Japanese and just guessed at all the sidequests in the game and failed like half of them (time limited, sadly). Im going to finish Ys Origin and Fire Emblem Revelations today hopefully. Then maybe Pokemon X because the Sun/Moon info has got me itching for some Pokemon.

It got me to do a watch-through of the movies for the first time in years last week, which ended up being the first time my wife watched Beyond Thunderdome. There was a lot of "so that's where this pop culture reference comes from." As for current gen stand-outs, I'd say the big ones for me have been Bloodborne, Nuclear Throne, Bravely Default/Second, Link Between Worlds, Destiny (yeah eventually I got sick of the garbage but I put a good 200 hours into it and enjoyed it for what it was), Xenoblade Chronicles X, and entries in long series that I never tried before now like Total War: Warhammer and Monster Hunter 4. bloodychill fucked around with this message at 15:24 on Aug 2, 2016 |

Last time I needed teeth removed, it took all of 2 minutes once the anesthetic set in because the teeth (two wisdom teeth) came out in one piece each. They gave me a small vicodin scrip, I went back to work in the morning, and in a couple days I was pretty much back to 100%.

Those needles were the stuff of nightmares. I'm supposed to go straight to work after its done. Vicodin owns

Oh man that reminds me. I was playing Death Road to Canada with the BF and it's new to us and we played one run that ended in a horrible sewer accident. So for the second run we decided to create custom characters of ourselves and literally first event that happens is he has a bad tooth and has to remove it somehow, thing is he's had a horrible time with dentists specifically one that diced up his tooth but failed to remove everything and it really hosed him up. Having a similar horrible in-game event happen to his character was both pretty funny and freaked him out a bit. His character died afterwards in a mall cause he lost a lot of health ripping that tooth out with a plier. My character died later on because we wanted to train guns at a shooting range with the lights off. It was a short run. His teeth are fine now I got him to go through a whole treatment plan last year but he still hates the dentist.

Golden Goat posted:Ohhhh I liked Ys VII, what's the new one like? The gameplay is fantastic, they've hit their stride with the party system by cutting down on the bloat and making a smaller cast where every character is extremely fun to play. It's the biggest Ys game yet, the world is huge with lots of sidequests (about a 40 hour game which is crazy). I had a blast with it but there are parts of the game that are straight up 60+ minutes of bad cutscenes and dialogue that really don't need to exist which is a shame. I'll be buying the English version next year and getting the platinum for sure.

I like the Ys party-based games, but my greatest criticism of both VII and Celceta was that they are incredibly easy if you have any sort of inventory of healing items on hand. Obviously you could just not use them or not gather them, but I've never been a fan of intentionally handicapping yourself to make up for a game's lack of challenge. If it's in the game I'm using it. Does Ys VIII still have that issue or maybe they do something like limit how much you can use in say a boss fight? If I were running the show I'd make it so that you can use one healing item and then you're locked out until either the fight is over or you die, and balance the fights around that.

There's surprisingly little actually like them.

I got really into simulation games this year. I'm looking forward to {url=http://www.beforegame.net/]Before[/url], a game where you look after a tribe of cavemen. It looks relaxing and fun, and I hope it is good.

You can still heal spam your way through a boss but personally I just didnt use healing items during boss fights. i personally like when games have that option because you can just ignore it to challenge yourself and people who dont want to bother can lessen teh difficulty as they see fit. like in all the post-SOTN castlevania games.

It took nearly 6 months but I fininshed Fire Emblem. What an awesome package of games. Casual breaks the game design kinda but theres no way in hell I would have been able to clear Lunatic Classic (im not that good at FE) so it was a unique challenge level.

I just bought a 1080 for like £580 (it was a good one) but then was wondering about the new consoles and that if they were like every 3 years for 350-400 would that stop me upgrading my PC anymore since I would normally get a new PC every 3-5 years.

Also you can infinitely farm them out of the upside down succubus boss fight room which is why I've done the Galamoth boss fight healing only with peanuts.

My most stupid killing of him involved the Gravity Boots to go through his arms while he's doing the lightning attack with his arm outstretched since you're invincible while you're doing a high jump, and then jump kicking off his head which takes more damage.
