| Topic | I just got Tales of Graces f (spoilers no welcome past where I am) |
| Entity13 09/12/17 11:20:15 PM #95 | PK_Spam posted... So I just got Hubert and my party right now is Pascal (me), Sophie, Asbel, and Hubert himself. Switched out Cheria because she was getting killed a LOT in hard mode. Good idea? Or should I just spend a little time leveling up to make her a little tankier? She has her uses, especially later on if you want to cheapen a number of fights, so work on her levels and titles when you have the time for it. You may or may not want to prep for that time. In some fights, I use both Cheria and Sophie as well for mega heals while two damage dealers go nuts on whatever boss. Note: I almost never used Malik outside of a few specific fights. --- |

| Entity13 09/12/17 3:12:39 PM #93 | Truth be told, I used the higher difficulties to level before getting to a boss . . . at least until I got to a point in the bonus dungeon where I was able to use a certain trick to level super fast (and got everyone to 200). I think it also helped raise my titles as well, leveling with higher difficulties, but I might be remembering wrong. --- |

| Topic | Is WoW forever? |
| Entity13 09/12/17 4:16:46 AM #7 | WoW is slowly killing itself with a disease known as Activision. If the game goes much longer, it will not be the WoW people have loved for an age now passed, but a den on tainted online crack that its consumers cannot drive themselves away because they are so unable, and Acti-Blizz knows this. They are counting on those people to give them more than every dime they have before the product is taken away, and all counterfeits made to suffer one way or another. Like that private Vanilla server. For years Blizzard denied there would be interest in such a thing, but it happened by way of the fans. Rather than incorporate it into their fold as a way to make more money, they took the route of legal action to have it shut down. Now I'm curious how long it will be before Acti-Blizz tries to sue every copycat MMO on the market. Because how dare anyone try to copy the success of their now dying game? It's THEIRS. They want all of the money that comes with it. That or someone will manage to buy out Activision and immediately close the doors on it (and every company Activision ever acquired by extension). Whichever. --- |

| Entity13 09/11/17 10:56:04 PM #49 | Zeus posted... Entity13 posted...AM2R That's literally the title of the fanmade game. It stands for "Another Metroid 2 Remake." It was developed over the course of about ten years for no money with a small group, and it was released August of last year for free. There was praise, takedowns were issued, there were moderations, there was fist shaking and heavens screaming from BTB, and there were threats from Nintendo to many reviewers not to even acknowledge AM2R or Nintendo would take some action or another. Then Nintendo's version of a remake was announced this past E3 with a trailer. So if I do end up getting the game, it would be after the market for it dwindles a fair deal so Nintendo might still get money, but not so much of it or even during peak times when they might measure a game's success. If only for HOW they chose to handle the whole situation, I say they paved the bridge with kerosene and have the match in hand. The actual quality of this remake may or may not be the striking of that match. I'm hoping the game turns out well enough, but we'll see (as no one really wants that bridge to burn). --- |

| Entity13 09/11/17 3:33:49 PM #46 | I want to believe that "Samus Returns" is anything more than a cheap cash-in to try to bring back the fans that enjoyed AM2R, as in try too hard rather than simply make a good remake for the sake of being a good remake, but I haven't seen enough to make a final opinion on the matter. I will say that the graphics aren't that appeasing from the trailer, not to mention its style and some of the combat abilities bring back flashbacks from "Other M." --- |

As far as battle usage goes, her mechanic is love it or hate it. Then again, it's not every day you get to use a magic staff like a shotgun. --- |

| Entity13 09/06/17 8:41:10 PM #7 | Zenos in FFXIV: Stormblood actually managed to enter my list of enjoyable antagonists. His own father--the current emperor of Garlemald--thinks of him as a monster. Zenos has a mad scientist for one of his right-hand men/women. He cuts down cowards in his own ranks, often in front of other soldiers under his command. He's powerful. He catches a dragon of devastating power and holds it captive in the middle of his garden, just for kicks (and you can actually believe it with him). He only spares your character, willingly, twice because of his overwhelming desire for a rival, and even tries to convince you that you're as much of a monster as he is I also enjoyed Kefka and Ardyn in their respective FF games. Compare to Exdeath from V, who was a demon-possessed tree bent on the generic rule and destroy aspects of super villainy. Or every major antagonist of the XIII trilogy whose plans all boiled down to wanting you to kill them, the latter two so you can take their place. Beatrice in "Wild Arms 3" was interesting for manipulating everyone, good or bad, to her ultimate end of using the world's energy to create a world of her own. She has the appearance of a little Gothic girl, and is the demon of dreams. The main antagonist of "Tales of Graces" was just a sentient science experiment that decided to lash out and destroy everything . . . until Asbel's case of the stupid infected him and made him give humanity another chance. There's this game that calls itself "Wild Arms 4." I have talked at length many times before on this board as to why I hate the game. The main antagonist? He convinces the main character's father to retaliate against humanity and try to destroy the world... by killing a puppy (totally just his own doing), then he goes blind in a confrontation with your party, and he decides to atone for his actions seconds before a giant rock falls on him and the only woman who cared for his ass. No apologies to anyone, including the man he convinced to try to destroy the world, no anything. His long-run scheme through most of the game? It was forgettable and amounted to nothing. AND HE WAS SOMEHOW STILL ONE OF THE BETTER THINGS ABOUT THAT PILE OF SHIT GAME! --- |
| Topic | All Geek's Eve |
| Entity13 09/06/17 8:41:02 PM #6 | Gods, I'd have a hell of a time trying to choose favorites and least favorites in the games I've experienced. I know that FFVIII's Squall could have improved greatly if we Americans had gotten the Japanese version where the man actually talked and had development, as opposed to the dumbass we got whose lines were cut down simply to "..." and "Nope." XII's Vaan could have been better by not existing. At all. The same for that spineless little shit in the Tales of Symphonia sequel we must never name. If Asbel from Tales of Graces were smacked over the head with even an ounce of common sense, not only would he have been a better character in general but also half or more of the game would not have happened. . Compare to Claude from "Star Ocean 2." At the start, he's an ensign in his father's shadow who ends up on an alien world with no apparent way to get back home. He still tries to find a way back or to be rescued, but he spends the first half of the game helping others because he recognizes wrong from right, and isn't one to stand by as bad things just happen. In the middle of the game, he's given the hard choice of going home with his father's crew, or stay behind to help his new friends in their hour of direst need. He chooses the latter. Also during the first half of the game, he meets a swordsman he gains respect for and tries to match the man in terms of skill. He earns a level of respect from that same man as well. There's Dart in "Legend of Dragoon" who will run into trouble to save those who are important to him, even though he's spent half or so of his life committed to a mission of revenge against a being known as the Black Monster. Every so often, tragedy strikes, but he doesn't lie around crying about it, nor does he consider quitting his second quest to save the world. When he loses his best friend, Dart carries on and tries to honor his friend's memory. When he discovers the identity of the Black Monster, he forgives her amidst a duel due to a number of reasons, including being a better man than so many others. Sora/Haseo in .hack// is a fine example of a solid, developing protagonist I like as well. He goes from attention-seeking Player Killer to comatose and amnesiac, to trying out The World again (though the first time he can remember), to following Ovan and Shino on some grand, intriguing adventure, to a mission for revenge that molds him into a renowned slayer of other Player Killers, to an arrogant teenage prick in need of more help than he's willing to receive, to a champion of many and close friend to some. Most of that is in a space of less than a year. Also: Lenneth from Valkyrie Profile. <_< . That's just touching briefly on protagonists. --- |

| Entity13 09/06/17 4:32:48 PM #27 | The first Adam Sandler role I think of, despite his time on SNL, is that of a middle-aged loser surrounded by crude, immature humor that rarely, if ever, challenges anything of value. So 90% or more of his films. --- |

Not just Allen is doing this, but the rest of the mods are conversing with him and they're still in the fine-tuning stages of what changes will be implemented. Naturally, being an opinionated individual with at least some level of vocabulary and also a deal of experience on this forum, I had to make that response spanning three posts in Allen's topic. Fun times ahead, me thinks. --- |

| Entity13 09/05/17 9:56:15 PM #10 | After tanking or healing for so many boss fights in MMORPGs, I've gotten to the point of hardly caring unless it throws off my leveling of that character, or if that death is as permanent as I wish some characters are that I encounter in said online games. So, in offline games, resetting after boss fights is usually not a thing for me. *shrugs* --- |

| Topic | What is your usual strategy in stealth games? |
| Entity13 08/28/17 4:22:00 PM #12 | Depends on the objective. Like, unless Assassin's Creed explicitly says to do otherwise, I'll kill (and possibly hide) other targets in the area (at least on the way to the destined mark) to make getting to and from the target much easier. If the game hands me a means to put other targets to sleep, then I'll use it where necessary. --- |
