Topic	Found another missable thing in FFVI (spoilers)
luigi13579 04/11/20 7:12:40 AM #13	FFVI is basically Missables: The Game, and I wouldn't change that to be honest. Finding all the missables (or the ideal combination of missables) is a game in itself. It's also nice when you discover something new. Those chests that change throughout the game if you don't open them can fuck off though. They're annoying to keep track of.
Topic	People out here really tryna gatekeep final fantasy lol
luigi13579 04/09/20 9:22:55 AM #18	The people attacking her probably didn't even play FFI when it came out. Fucking noobs. Also, FFVII was a cheap imitation of FFVI. is what someone older would say to turn it round on them.
Topic	Anti-vaxxers led by RFK Jr have gone bonkers on Twitter
luigi13579 04/07/20 10:36:52 AM #6	He must have reinstalled Deus Ex. Bill Gates = Bob Page.
Topic	Will the best looking games today also look outdated later?
luigi13579 04/06/20 3:56:19 PM #18	They'll age, but more slowly I suspect, due to dimishing returns. PS1 -> PS3 will be more impressive than PS3 -> PS5 probably. There's still plenty of room for improvement though (particularly in lighting, physics, etc.), but it'll be a bit harder to take advantage of.
Topic	The fact that we even need a term like "Tradwife..."
luigi13579 04/05/20 4:26:34 PM #7	Do we need it?
Topic	Are you ready for New Consoles delay?, I am.
luigi13579 04/05/20 3:10:22 PM #5	My backlog would keep me going years tbqh. I play a lot of older games anyway.
Topic	Why were the graphics in Super Mario Sunshine SO bad?
luigi13579 04/04/20 3:13:37 PM #10	I thought it looked pretty good, especially for an early gen 6 game. Compare it to early PS2 games, for example. The GC had some lookers tbqh.
Topic	What game series did you never play/get into?
luigi13579 04/04/20 8:36:40 AM #6	God of War (I own the first), Kingdom Hearts, Battlefield, Ratchet & Clank, Yakuza
Topic	I had no idea people actually like the dungeon parts of Zelda games
luigi13579 04/02/20 4:01:56 PM #14	I enjoy them for the most part, but they can occasionally be a chore. Either way, it is disappointing when a Zelda game is light on dungeons (MM, WW, BotW). That said, I do prefer Metroidvanias, where the whole world is basically a dungeon.

Topic	Imagine still caring about politics during a global pandemic
luigi13579 04/01/20 9:47:06 AM #8	If anything, politics is even more important at a time like this. It'd be naive to think that the powers-that-be are making completely apolitical decisions (life-or-death decisions at that) right now. Yet the plebs should just sit down and shut up and not 'ploticize' things?
Topic	What's a game that you, personally, would want to remake?
luigi13579 03/31/20 4:16:41 PM #34	Deus Ex. A proper remake would require significant changes and run the risk of losing what made the original so great, but I think it would be worth a try. There are obvious improvements to make, even aside from the basics like graphics and AI, especially towards the end of the game where there's a noticeable dip in quality. Human Revolution and Mankind Divided outline a good template, although there are one or two things I'm not a fan of, like the automatic takedowns. Maybe Cyberpunk 2077 will show us how to do first-person melee combat.
Topic	When u bring up flu deaths for "context", remember
luigi13579 03/31/20 8:55:31 AM #10	I see a lot of people comparing apples with oranges, like comparing COVID-19 deaths in one day in one country to worldwide deaths from flu in a year, then saying, "See, it's not that bad!" In fact, I actually saw someone making a comparison with worldwide deaths from everything. It's a different story if you compare like with like: https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Is_COVID-19_like_a_flu%3F_ENG.png
Topic	The xbox 360/one controller is the GOAT, better than all over including gamecube
luigi13579 03/30/20 6:02:19 PM #10	brokeNoKaSH420 posted... I don't know why people like the gamecube one so much Same. And I adore the console otherwise. The 360 controller is good though, at least for shooters. The D-pad isn't the best.
Topic	First video game that comes to mind with the word Fire in it's title?
luigi13579 03/30/20 8:01:50 AM #8	Fire Emblem
Topic	All the Elder Scroll games are shit
luigi13579 03/28/20 2:30:53 PM #11	They're definitely flawed as hell, but still I love Morrowind (probably the most flawed out of the most recent 3). Michael Kirkbride's writing is great, and the modding community is amazing (albeit a bit of a crutch for Bethesda).
Topic	Favorite Build Engine shooter?
luigi13579 03/28/20 8:17:05 AM #2	I've only played Duke and Shadow Warrior. Voted for Duke. I really must play Blood one of these days.
Topic	What Snes JRPG should I play first?
luigi13579 03/28/20 7:09:15 AM #20	Monolith1676 posted... Secret of Evermore Came in to say that. I think I like it better than Secret of Mana. SoM is a more substantial game though. Also Terranigma. And ActRaiser and Demon's Crest if they count.
Topic	When did you first start using Steam?
luigi13579 03/27/20 6:36:29 PM #48	Pre-Orange Box, for the Counter-Strike Anthology. I think I then activated the original Half-Life for some extra goodies, which was a nice surprise. Supposedly you can activate Gunman Chronicles for some goodies too, but I can't find my discs and/or the CD Key.
Topic	why aren't all the metal gear solid games on pc
luigi13579 03/27/20 6:27:57 PM #5	Garioshi posted... 2 and 3 require analog face buttons, which no modern controller has. There are ways around that. 2 is on PC after all. A PC Legacy Collection would be nice. We're only missing 3 and 4 (although I hear the existing PC ports aren't great), the MSX games aside. Japanese devs have stepped up their PC game in recent years thankfully.
Topic	Should we tax people higher based on their parents' wealth during childhood?
luigi13579 03/27/20 6:21:34 PM #6	I don't really see the purpose personally. Just tax higher earners more across the board (or don't, if you believe it discourages innovation). I'm not sure the extra bureaucracy is worth it. If the issue is inheritance, then there are more direct ways to deal with that of course (e.g. inheritance tax).

luigi13579 03/22/20 3:56:28 PM #22	Still my favorite game. The GMDX mod makes it even better for the most part.
Topic	What do you think of the Ace Attorney games?
luigi13579 03/21/20 3:53:11 PM #12	I really enjoy them despite not being the biggest fan of Adventure / visual novel type games (not that I've played many others). I actually like the investigation part, maybe even as much as the courtroom sections. I've played 1-3 and AAI 1 & 2, and enjoyed them all.
Topic	Playing Persona 3 FES and Runescape on the same screen >_> AMA?
luigi13579 03/19/20 3:26:48 PM #47	NeonOctopus posted... Hey, you probably got time now <_< Yep. I'm in the at-risk group, so it's looking like 12+ weeks. Also, I just remembered that I was planning on trying Persona 2. I played through Persona 1 (PSP) a few months back (SEBEC route) and it was OK, but nothing great. 2 might be worth it for the story. I can cope with the dated gameplay.
Topic	what is better, Secret of Mana or Trials of Mana between the snes originals?
luigi13579 03/19/20 3:12:51 PM #3	Trials is definitely better, but I think Secret is worth playing, warts and all. Secret of Evermore is also worth looking into.
Topic	Playing Persona 3 FES and Runescape on the same screen >_> AMA?
luigi13579 03/19/20 3:09:47 PM #45	You've made me want to replay P3 now, especially with the hack you mentioned. I didn't complete all the S. Links the first time round, and it'll be nice to not have to worry about raising stats. I've been playing Super Robot Wars T, and might replay SRW A Portable, or maybe Original Generation 1/2 or Alpha Gaiden. I think you'd like them actually. Although I really should clear more of my backlog (there are some great games in there), but fuck it.
Topic	I'm listening to the Mortal Kombat Genesis OST.
luigi13579 03/19/20 11:29:40 AM #6	MorbidFaithless posted... Is it true genesis had a better sound system than snes Nah. There are some standout Genesis OSTs for sure, but I think the average SNES OST is far better.
Topic	heard some say death rate is low, what would you consider a high death rate %?
luigi13579 03/19/20 8:20:06 AM #9	You can't really put a number on it because it clearly depends on other factors, particularly the virulence and number infected. Ebola had a high mortality rate but didn't infect too many. 1% of 3 billion people would be 'high' to me (duh). 90% of 10k would be comparatively low, but obviously terrible for those affected. If this virus were left unchecked, I think 1% would be high. Even 0.1% would be awful really. It's not going to be left unchecked of course, so that's kinda moot. Are the measures being taken in some countries a step too far? It's hard to say without a crystal ball, but certainly something has to be done, as Italy can attest to.

luigi13579 03/18/20 4:21:31 PM #10	I wanted them to make something futuristic for years, but CD Projekt have that covered now. Going backwards in time would be cool though. How about an updated/3D GTA London?

Topic	playing a JRPG
luigi13579 03/13/20 4:02:03 PM #36	DevsBro posted... Depends also on pacing, dialog, minigames, etc too. This is one thing FF7 excelled at. Dungeons were generally short enough to avoid being stale, usually had something unique about them on the field (like the spider webs in the Gi cave, or the drawbridge on the way to Corel) and sometimes even had little minigames to mix things up. True. Contrast with FFXII's dungeons. I must have spent hours in Giruvegan / The Great Crystal and the Pharos.

Topic	playing a JRPG
luigi13579 03/13/20 3:35:26 PM #34	I actually like puzzles in JRPGs... for the most part. I'm not usually a fan of dungeons with nothing but battles, unless the battle system is really good. The worst "puzzles" are probably like those in Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne, e.g. floor puzzles where you end up falling in to a maze-like area if you make a wrong move (I still love the game though). Block puzzles, sliding puzzles, etc. I don't mind, especially if there aren't any random battles (Lufia II, Tales of Symphonia). I can't mention Nocturne without also mentioning the Puzzle Boy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=943QWJtMYNY It's cool up to a certain point, then the difficulty ramps up. At least it's optional (unless you want all the Magatama, which I did).
