| Kenri 09/14/23 8:36:02 PM #463 | I don't think the former means much just because of how it's phrased. Virtually all Trump voters will be yes, no while plenty of Biden voters will say yes, yes or no, no. Might be more meaningful if it just asked about the ages without giving candidate names.

Honestly I think Baten Kaitos would have been better received if it didn't have a hilarious dub.The translation itself was fine AFAIK and the VA-work was decent for early 2000s, but the recordings had weird audio issues and it wasn't clear if it was an intentional artistic choice or if they just fucked it up. Mostly I remember people blasting it for having a card-based battle system because there were a few years when that was extremely pass. PSO3 got hammered by critics for the same reason. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

Are these games actually good and worth playingYes but then I've always been a Baten Kaitos apologist. You should keep in mind that these games (especially the first one) had a pretty mixed reception when it first released.

Struggled to decide which character to pick between the gremlin and the girl with three eyes, and then I noticed the girl with a collar and a whip and that made the choice easy! Played story mode on medium and got crushed by the third opponent a couple times while figuring out the game, then cruised though until the second-to-last guy who seemed like an incredible difficulty leap. Beat the final opponent mirror match on the first try though. Cody11533 posted... That was fun, a few of the opponents kicked my ass for a while on medium but I persevered.I wonder if they were the same ones I had trouble with.

Lots of games these days try to be 2D Dark Souls, but this one really nails the crossover between Dark Souls-style malevolence and classic NES-style malevolence. This game is tough. It might be the only metroidvania I've ever played where I felt like I had to collect all the upgrades just to stay on par with some of the bosses. Honestly it's too much. The first major boss is such an absurd jump in difficulty from the easy tutorial boss that probably 90% of players will just stop there. He moves insanely fast and when you finally manage to land a blow on him it does, like, 1/100th of his health. If you leave and go explore the entire world and get everything available at that point he becomes a reasonable second boss. And that's the worst offender but it's the same pattern for basically the whole game. If you can get past the difficulty (and some bugs) the game is great, with tons of stuff to explore and a lot of good platforming sections. --- Congrats to BKSheikah, who knows more about years than anyone else. |

| Kenri 09/08/23 12:49:38 PM #5 | No. Better to have a hard line in the sand about the death penalty not being acceptable, ever. Plus AFAIK the death penalty is absurdly expensive, more so than like 60 years of prison, so there's really no upside.
