This should be required reading for anyone who likes MGR:R's music. The game does a masterful job of making the music enhance the story while reinforcing just how badass and hosed-up everything is.

I tried to play Saints Row 2 but the gameplay was just so incredibly poo poo I never made it through. It was funny though for sure. I didnt care much for 3 and 4. They were too silly, so much that I didnt care about the characters or what was going on anymore.

poo poo, was I supposed to care about the characters?

I was too busy playing hulk: ultimate destruction with a dubstep gun and infinite hovertanks.

I think games are better when they're partially grounded in reality, but I'm sorry I didn't like your game.

E: Honestly the biggest issue I had with SR4 were the superpowers, which I found really boring most of the time and the idea that it's set in a virtual world. Part of the fun with doing ridiculous poo poo is that it's supposed to be real in the game, when you tell me that none of this destruction matters, nothing's real then how am I supposed to give a poo poo?

It actually does matter, they provide explanation for that. The explanation's pretty early, but the payoff isn't: The simulation doesn't have infinite reserves, and it's already being put to the test by having to keep the Boss contained. The mayhem you cause in the simulation not only allows Kinzie room to fill the alien mothership with viruses, it forces them to push even more resources from other systems into keeping you from causing immense damage.

The final missions involve you finally crashing the simulation, which is a system so integral to the mothership's computer that it takes down most of the ship's essential processes.


That definitely helps, but I loved driving around in 2 and 3 and causing wanton destruction and it didn't really feel the same in 4.

Basically every single character in Punch Out!! (Wii). They've all got their remixed version of the punch out theme, most of them incredible and even though they're all based on cultural stereotypes, they're just silly and fun instead of offensive. Aran Ryan particularly stands out as really great.

E: They also all speak their proper languages. Glass joe speaks french, etc. Really great touch.

Who the gently caress cares? Realism as a complaint only matters when its making gameplay concessions to do so. Does the change affect the player in anything but a positive way for the people who would appreciate it? Who are you to tell people what not to enjoy.

I'm actually playing FFX for the first time right now. I love the levelling system, but anyone who thinks the story is good better let me know when that's supposed to start being true, because I'm 12 hours in and it's a terrible story. The actual dialogue is passable, but the story is just ugh.

What about it do you have a problem with?

Tidus has no "story", all he's doing is hanging off Yuna's adventure until he can find dear old Dad, it outright jumps from one zone to another with a handwave that you're expected to accept at face value with no explanation, and Tidus is a fundamentally whiny little pissant most of the trip.

No, he absolutely has a story. In fact, he's the only FF protaganist to go through genuine character development and dare I say an arc aside from like, Cecil I guess. It's Yuna's story, but she can't be the protaganist of the game for hopefully obvious reasons.

lovely minigames though. gently caress lightning dodging, gently caress blitzball and especially gently caress that seagulls catch-the-balloons chocobo race.

I don't really mind blitzball, but all of those are optional mostly and yeah they do suck.

Jobbo_Fett posted:

Zanarkand is Magitek, isn't it?

FFX has an entire desert island, Bikanel. The destruction of a city leads to Wakka's infamous "Boom, Like Happy Festival Fireworks" when trying to cheer someone up while they watch the destruction of their home.

Spheres of stuff (Water?) that can record audio and video totally isn't goofy at all. Is Blitzball Magitek or something else?

Also, FFX-2 has a music concert in the middle of the desert and a character called Paine.

Whatever floats your boat and all, and this isn't directed at you, but Greatest Story in a Video Game Ever is not the accolade it should receive.

Wakka is supposed to be doing a bad job at consoling her, his entire arc is about learning that the religion he's devoted his entire life to is a hollow lie lead by corrupt people which is a hell of a lot more interesting than your average supporting cast member. Is the happy festival fireworks line a little goofy? Sure, but you remember it, and it makes me laugh every time.

The spheres are just magic, whatever, who cares. If you care then go look it up on the wiki, I'm sure somebody has written pages upon pages trying to explain exactly how everything works.

Seriously, FFX gets more undue poo poo then almost any game I've ever seen. People are absolutely desperate to find things to mock the game about even when they're fully intentional and actually doing a good job at what they're trying to do. The game has the deepest and most interesting and fun leveling system out of any final fantasy, the combat is the best the franchise ever got since every unit consistantly serves a purpose through the entire game and all feel dramatically different, the music is 10/10 as usual, the environments are always beautiful and the setting is a much needed breath of fresh air considering how stale JRPG's can get. I have no idea why so many people have latched on to hating FFX who as far as I can tell haven't actually even played the game.
