I'm hesitant to replay MGS3 because my first playthrough was so fucking magic back in late 04 but I'm worried it hasn't aged well.

@ExThaNemesis I remember we chatted on AIM about our playthroughs back then!

haha thanks Rock

I mean, there's not a ton I want to say, but I think my perspective is unique here since I was born in Iraq and was there during the first Persian Gulf War when I felt American missiles nearly blow our family home off its foundations. I've never been sure how to feel about the man, and I know some older members of my family despise him for the perceived ruining of Iraq (which was a progressive jewel in the Middle East during the 70s when they lived there), but he's still a human being, so I hope he passed without pain and that his loved ones can find some place of comfort in their mourning.

Median U.S. home cost in Dec. 1980: $67k
Median U.S. home cost in Dec. 2016: $327k

http://www.multpl.com/us-median-income/table/by-year

Median U.S. household income in 1980: $17.7k
Median U.S. household income in 2016: $59k

Median home cost divided by median household income in 1980: 3.78
Median home cost divided by median household income in 2016: 5.54

Overall, it's at least 50% more expensive to buy a home now versus a generation ago (relative to the growth in wages). Healthcare and education have also gotten much more comparatively expensive. It only makes sense that young people would struggle paying for/paying off these costs and would devote more of their time and money into the things that have gotten much cheaper (electronics and media are the big ones I can think of).

If Square was making big-name hits like they were when this site was young, they'd still have a sizable fandom here. It's rare for a large fanbase to subsist on legacy alone.

Play the ps4 version for TROPHIES

Yes sir! I downloaded it a few days ago on a whim. The achievements are fun, but I was really disappointed at the redone voice acting. The charm is gone.

Also, the Crissaegrim dropped for me in like three minutes. Couldn't believe my luck.

It's pretty good. I think Circle of the Moon, Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow are better though. I also think the second half of SotN, while clever, is dumb.

Circle of the Moon is the only other game in the series I've beaten. It's super nostalgic for me, but I prefer the combat and enemy/level design in SotN.

Regarding the inverted castle, it's true that navigation is more cumbersome (many more sections require the bat form), I give it points for creativity and for having some really cool bosses. It's also not long to get through if you just want to rush those bosses.

And man, I can see why one game made the guy so strong - what a fucking masterpiece.

The tight controls, combat mechanics, level design, and soundtrack have been praised for years, but one thing that stood out to me this time was the abundance of unique enemies. They barely recycle enemies at all.

I know Super Metroid will always be seen as the pinnacle of the 2D Metroidvania style, but I like Alucard's Plan: The Game a lot more.

Any character would lose relevance after a continued lack of exposure (or worse yet, bad press).

Except Samus.

Anyway, Sephiroth did well enough overnight to return this to the... bare minimum of respectability, I suppose. I would have even called this an okay performance if the Eight Legends really were supercharged and easily won against Pikachu and Zelda. That clearly isn't the case, though; none of them are riding artificial, one week boosts - this is just Mario's natural strength.

Sorry, I meant "turd because some people probably hate her so much right now."

IMO, Zelda is clearly the star now. She's leapfrogged Alucard, Pikachu, and anyone else.

So, is Alucard still the star of the contest, or is Zelda entering "turd" territory at this point?

is it worth the "non-N9" qualifier immediately after beating a N9 himself?

I kinda have to use it, since the N9 has gone into the 40s on Link multiple times (and beaten him once). What I guess we can say is that if Pikachu goes for 38%, it will be the best any Nintendo character has ever done against Link. Mario and Samus could never manage it.
