Do people really not rotate their saves when possible?

There's a mentality not to that I think comes from certain things more than others - console gamers, ppl with siblings growing up, etc - because you think of save slots as places to save additional playthroughs or for others to save their game, not things to alternate between, and a lot of console RPGs would only have like 1-3 slots and in some cases not allow you to rotate.

On PSX save space was tightly constrained by memory card blocks; a memory card had 15 blocks and iirc Final Fantasy games usually took 1-2 blocks per file, so sometimes you literally only had the space left on your card for one save unless you wanted to delete your saves from other games. Some games were loving huge, and would take like half a memory card by themselves.

I'm being a bit unfair on it, but I just don't really get why you'd want to tie yourself down with all the baggage of the setting instead of doing your own thing.

I mean I do, kind of - financial security, mitigating risk, etc, it's just a pet peeve of mine.

Edit: And I was sad not to play SW:G in its heyday, it seemed really cool but I came across it way too late.

rogue one is a star wars movie about the rebellion, which was founded to wage war on a militant government whose autocratic ruler and chief inquisitor are both evil space wizards with lightsabers

how is having one of the guys the movie's about in the movie "baggage"?

I think you're misreading Cavelcade's argument. They're saying that a Star Wars movie that didn't involve lightsabers and Jedi would just be a science fiction movie that could be told in a different setting, so why would you bring Star Wars baggage along? I'm the one who's all "why is Darth Vader in this movie at all?" about it.

FFXV: Also why is Leviathan the only not-human summon? Like that's a cool idea but it sticks out all the more because of it (I'm sure the answer is because they had that design for forever).

Honestly I think it's kind of interesting and a good interpretive question to ask why they redesigned Bahamut to have human eyes behind a dragon mask rather than being a space dragon. Titan, Ramuh, Leviathan, Shiva, and Ifrit all look pretty much the same as they always do, which means they're all humanoid but Leviathan, but Bahamut is kind of a radical redesign. Is he supposed to be the first king of Lucis or something?

Every mega man game ever. I finished 1-10 and now in on the X series. X2 is cool but I guess I permanently missed some bosses because they disappeared from my nap

ya there's 3 optional bosses that randomly post up in levels, and if you beat the level they're in without finding and killing them first they disappear forever; otoh finding and beating all three of them skips the second-to-last boss who is one of the most difficult in the game, so there's no such thing as a 100% playthrough anyway

X3 has a similar kind of thing with even more obtuse requirements to get zero's lightsaber

It's fun to think that there was a time when Mega Man X was considered to be a dark and edgy reimaging of the Mega Man franchise.

I mean, "dark and edgy" is relative to the NES games.

It's a totally badass action show or shonen anime you watched when you were 13, instead of a "kiddie cartoon" you watched when you were 6. It's dark and edgy in the way that Dragonball Z is dark and edgy relative to Pokemon.

Alfalfa The Roach posted:

I watched Blade Runner for the first time earlier this year and honestly most of it went right over my head

It's not very complicated. What about it confused you?

Harrison Ford is a blade runner, a guy who hunts down rogue androids called replicants who violate their programmed directives. He's pulled in for a job to hunt four very dangerous replicants that are miners and military droids (iirc). As he does so he begins to fall in love with a woman, who turns out to be a replicant herself. He eventually kills them all except Rutger Hauer, their leader, who plays a violent game of cat-and-mouse with him in a derelict apartment building. Given the opportunity to kill Ford, Hauer saves his life in a demonstration of his mercy and humanity, then dies of natural causes (bc the replicants all have programmed obsolescence dates). Ford experiences a profound change of heart and goes on the run with the replicant he fell for, whose date is unknown, and who may die at any moment. Thematically, it's about transhumanist principles and mortality.

grieving for Gandalf posted:

there's way more to the movie than just the dry plot beats

Of course there is, but I didn't know what part Alfalfa had missed. There's room for a lot of conversation and debate about what else is going on with the movie, what it has to say about class or religion for example, which is part of what makes it a good movie. But "transhumanism and mortality" also seems like a pretty good quick summary of what it's about?

Blade Runner leaves it open-ended intentionally, BR'49 is going to answer it. It didn't need answered.

Yeah it's pretty incredible that the most active conversation about BR has always been whether or not Deckard is a replicant, given that the main point of the movie itself is that it doesn't matter

But yeah I'm also looking forward to the new one because it at least has some potential, and it's at least not a remake or reboot.

Yea. There's something about the script that feels a little unfinished or like they cut something critical, but you could also make the case that that feeling is part of what the movie's about. It has some funny-rear end scenes.

It's neither the best nor the worst Coen film.

Dude I have no loving idea. I played through that game twice and wondered exactly the same thing the second time. It's so quick that as the player I'm not even sure if it's supposed to be an early glimpse of the wendigo, a dumb movie effect Josh was using to try and jumpscare them, or something else entirely.

Skipping the Wii and getting a Wii-U was an incredibly good choice. Nintendo is usually pretty good about backwards compatibility and their first-party games age very well, so it's a good company to buy a system from every other generation imo
