The villain I picked is Dela Delon from the Brandish series. That pic is from the ending of Brandish 2: The Planet Buster, but I guess she's only really a "villain" in the first game. I say "villain" in quotes because while she hates the protagonist, seeks revenge against him, and is the catalyst for the story, every encounter with her is a goofy, bumbling mess that's played for laughs. She constantly tries to kill the player character, but gets owned by every trap in the dungeon, which serves the purpose of teaching the player to be careful while exploring. She might be considered a cliché, comic-relief character, but I thought she was kind of endearing, anyway!

And yeah, I played Gitaroo Man again recently, and it definitely holds up. I love how brief the story bits between each stage are, they give you juuuuust enough context to barely grasp what's going on, then it's time to jam!!

thanks for this post - i had literally never heard of the Brandish series until just right now but they seem pretty rad after some very brief research

Turns out there's a second attract video that plays if you leave Skies of Arcadia on the start screen for a few minutes. I never saw it before and it kinda blows my mind that it exists

Also I am sad this game never spawned a sequel or spin off :smith:

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Truly cursed that Star Ocean got a remaster before Skies of Arcadia.

I just got home and my son's fish is dead. The thing has been really sick for the past week and he was starting to look better but he died this afternoon. I think I'm more emotional about it than he is.

Thanks. This is just a little 5 gallon tank for a betta. We only had the guy a little over a month but he got a fungal infection and just couldn't recover no matter how hard we tried. I think he died of starvation since he hasn't eaten in days. Right now the kid doesn't know if he wants a new one or not and he might want to go filter less if so which is a whole lot more work.

Anyway, sorry for bringing the thread down.

ridge racer 4 is good because one of the team bosses is this french lady who clearly doesn’t give a poo poo about racing and keeps complaining about her impending arranged marriage

all of the writing in that game is amazing, one of the writers on type 4 is the scenario writer for drakengard and nier, also

type 4 is just an incredible gestalt of a video game. the mechanics are amazing, still in the space where ridge racer was still an extremely abstract arcade racing game rather than a near-sim, but honed to perfection after 4 games. its the apex of the late psx era graphical aesthetic, the soundtrack is great, it has the best looking menus in video games, it has more characters and dialogue than perhaps you'd expect and its all fantastic. it is an extremely ambitious ridge racer game, that perfectly executes everything it sets out to

also it has the reiko nagase intro

The weird thing to me is how that second attract vid basically spoils a ton of the game.

Still sad we don't have a remaster though. With Piastol as an optional party member.

Hey it's fine. Sorry about your pet. Losing a pet sucks. Personally, regardless of whether you decide to get another fish or not, definitely wait so that you don't end up getting a rebound pet.
