Topic | Name some negative aspects of your favorite games! |
Entity13 02/20/18 5:19:34 AM #22 | Terranigma: The magic system is ALMOST completely useless, tied together with a collectathon for the means to cast more spells (but why?). FFVI: Horrific balancing that makes a drunken elephant on a tightrope look graceful. Tales of Phantasia: The only legitimate version(s) we Americans got was the atrocious GBA port with its near-soulless translations and its delay between your inputs and the actions in battle. Meanwhile, we never got the superior versions. But hey, at least we get a laugh from the end of the world being called the Kangaroo due to a translation error (probably the best thing about that translation, ironically). Tales of Symphonia: So very many of its tropes became cliches the moment this game first came out, making you question if it's worth it to give a damn if anything's cliche or not. Wild Arms (original game): It's so easy to cheat via item duplication that it isn't even funny, and you can max your stats early because of it, eliminating what little challenge even existed in the first place. Wild Arms 2: The English translation, full stop. Also Tim. Wild Arms 3: The pacing tends to put a lot of people to sleep, or turn them away, before they can enjoy the best fights or the fantastic story. Also, 97% of the main story seems to end at the 3/4 mark, so the final arc drags a bit with a seemingly out-of-nowhere villain reveal despite her being there all along. .hack//G.U.: It takes so damn long for Haseo to grow into a tolerable character, personality-wise. So, so long. .hack//I.M.O.Q.: It really has not aged well, both graphically and in terms of controls. Super Metroid: I have to compare so many other games in the series to ITS standard, even the first Prime. Metroid Prime (and Prime 2): I have to compare so many other Metroid games to it/them, including Super Metroid. Also, jumping platforms in first person is a bit of a butt. Star Ocean 2: It takes an hour or so of unskippable scenario and dialogue for the game to truly to begin. Yet, that's not the worst thing about the game. The worst, and I can almost not forgive the game for this, is LoZ a Link to the Past: It's not "Link's Awakening" or "Makora's Mask" LoZ Link's Awakening: It's neither "aLttP" nor "MM." LoZ Majora's Mask: It isn't "A Link to the Past" or "Link's Awakening." --- |
Topic | Rate that food ~ Day 1625 ~ Hash Browns |
Entity13 02/20/18 3:15:22 AM #5 | Grated and actually, you know, hashed? They're damned good. Miniature fries/chips (depending on your region) crossed together and made nice and crispy. No need for a deep frier; just cook in a pan with just enough oil. mmm Potato patties that called themselves hash browns despite not being hashed at all? Meh... just meh. They're alright once deep fried, but nothing to write home about even then. Also, don't go anywhere like Denny's for hashed browns. The servings are any combo of too thick or baked in lard. --- |
Topic | Am I the only one who thinks Phantom Hourglass is a terrible game? |
Entity13 02/15/18 8:15:40 PM #13 | papercup posted... No. The DS Zelda games are garbage. Pretty much. I wanted to like PH because it was a sequel to the wonderful WW, but PH was abhorrent in too many ways. ST fixed one of those ways and added a splendid soundtrack, but then literally railroaded where you could go, damaging/killing you if you tried to venture on foot in the main world. Gods those games can sod off. --- |

Entity13 02/14/18 2:51:40 AM #30 | This game looks (and sounds) so underwhelming compared to every other Warriors game I've seen, so I don't have high hopes for it at all. --- |

Topic | don't really plan on playing FFXV like ever |
Entity13 02/04/18 3:28:08 PM #3 | Yeah, I'm not in a huge hurry to finish it, myself. It could happen someday, when I'm not busy with other things, but I didn't get enough enjoyment out of the open world portion--which I'm at the end of, story-wise--and didn't see or hear great things about the linear final third to really prioritize completing XV all that high. I mean, I might go back and finish several of XIV's fishing achievements long before I load up my old XV save. --- |

Entity13 01/30/18 2:04:25 AM #25 | Existential deaths are the worst (in regards to dying). Unless you're forced to listen to a mash-up of Celine Dion and Nickelback while jagged ice spikes are jammed through your extremities; that may or may not be worse, though it's not like we can (or should) ask anyone for clarification. --- |

Do you just whip it out and 1) Whip what out? ^_~ 2) I usually shrug it off when I hear it, which isn't terribly often when I usually have my headphones on and am listening to other things. In this case, I chose instead to make a topic sharing how amused I am by this sort of event. --- |

Entity13 01/30/18 1:33:34 AM #1 | It's not like I can ask which one it is since that would be some combination of awkward or private, and it's not like I can easily deduce which one it is (not that it necessarily matters) since their raised voices are so close together. *shrugs* --- |

Topic | Now that FF6 is finally done, been getting back into modding Morrowind... |
Entity13 01/23/18 9:27:59 PM #7 | A large part of me wants to replay VI in preparation for the coming content patch to FFXIV, since the new raid is going to be very VI heavy (including Phantom Train, Chadernook/Goddess paintings, Guardian, and a certain genocidal clown). If only I had the time to do two or three things at once, because then I would do that while also getting my last minute preparations in XIV underway for the big patch. @_@ --- |

Entity13 01/22/18 1:56:42 AM #317 | No, actually, I typed that as a warning because of a funny little thing this website has called the "Terms of Use." If the mods decide that what you're doing is harassment and take action accordingly then there will nothing more I can say or do to save you. If you simply do not like the site's ToU then, once again as I stated earlier, you can always leave and find somewhere that DOES accept your behavior. That is all. --- |

Do not pursue this further, and do not aim any more of your attitude at any of the mods, including Lan. Any further, Call, and it is literal harassment. So stop. --- |

Entity13 01/21/18 11:28:42 PM #282 | You are incorrect on several levels. The mods do try to keep order here, but the system is imperfect, paired with people getting butthurt when they're moderated; that has been a constant since the mods first came around. If you don't like the number of your own posts that have been moderated then maybe you should rethink your own priorities in life and reconsider what you think to be acceptable, anywhere. He works as a pharmacist, not a burger flipper. With your attitude and ability to jump to conclusions, I have to wonder whether you do either that (flipping burgers) or work for a major media outlet like MSNBC or Fox. Oh, do you not do either? What do YOU do that makes you think you're more capable or more important than any of the mods? Now I'm curious. Again, he works as a pharmacist, so he gets to handle all of the delightful people who don't understand how they can't open their generic viagra pill bottles with their dicks, for example, and they are likely to bitch and complain and call everyone at Lan's work some sort of idiot or wuss for not giving them the answer they WANT. That kind of work can take its toll on anyone with even the thickest skin. That's to say nothing of more personal matters that he keeps off of this forum because it's nobody's business aside from his own. In this instance, again, having a thick skin doesn't mean squat, and you're just being arrogant for thinking you're any better than him. What I'm trying to say is this: Show some damn respect for other people, including those who take time and energy out of their day, for no recompense whatsoever, to help this community what little way they can. If you really don't like the mods and admin, or how this site is run, then you can always go elsewhere . . . somewhere in which you might find joy in how things are run and the people there appreciate whatever it is that you do. --- |

He does more for this site in a week, sometimes a day, than you seem to do since the first time I've seen your name around here, and that's to say nothing of the work he does in real life (or other, more personal things he deals with). You want to interpret what he says and does first as a 12-year old, and now a 7-yr old? That actually says more about you. So step off. Your attitude isn't appreciated here. --- |
