jesus christ this is way worse than I'd thought. I don't even have words.

I was really deep in the CWC scene 10-12 years ago. Posted on the private forum, knew all the "inner council". I drifted away in 2013 or '14, after the forum splintered due to infighting and rise of CWCki Forums/Kiwi Farms, home of some of the most reprehensible losers I've ever seen.

I have no idea who's currently puppeteering Chris's life at the moment, but the people I knew back then wouldn't have allowed something like this to happen.

I'm just here to say those people are the true scum of the Earth. I have never seen a closer-knit circlejerk of incels, basement dwellers, and sexists.

And I've been browsing GameFAQs forums since LUE was still open to the public.

They were a monster before and they're a monster now. You can be autistic and not fucked up with years of childhood trauma, abuse, and a timeline of continuous mentally ill public behavior.

Unless it's one of those games where you can't actually reach the final boss without playing on a higher difficulty, anyway.

Double Dragon II. But for just playing through the full game, that's a glaring exception.

Nanis23 posted...
I can't recall a single time I ever played a game on the lowest difficulty (except for things like speedrunning achievements)

Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection. Unfortunately, that was largely due to poor game design and not being challenging in the fun way (e.g. Super Ghouls 'n Ghosts).

Top 10:

Vivi Ornitier
Auron
Barrett Wallace
Yuna
Red XIII
Vincent Valentine
Tidus

Tifa #1, Aerith #3. We're going full waifu here. Aerith is my favorite healer and Tifa was my usual endgame party member in VII.

Cloud of course. My favorite numbered series protag.

Vivi. Another great choice.

Auron. My overall favorite character in the series.

I would have argued against Barrett before. Remake made him amazing.

Yuna. Bless. Playing as Summons is amazing.

Vincent's cool. Tidus is cool. The latter has Hastega.

Not a bad list overall especially considering how many FF party members there are. I'm quite biased towards chars like Gladio, Ignis, Steiner, and Rydia. But I will say it's not a bad list, either.

Retelling but I hate calling it a "remake" given how vastly different it is.

What's even funnier is CV1's true remake, Castlevania Chronicles (X68000) came out in 1993. That's still only 7 years after 1986's original release.

Thinking some arcade game possibly wins this when it was redone for home audiences. Those arent usually straight ports

Conceptually speaking, they're still ports. They had to rework games for certain hardware.

On that note, Donkey Kong Country (1994) got a demake in 2000 for Game Boy Color.

Ending is pretty wild.

It's so funny since it's the cherry on top. Coming from Persona 5 and dozens of other RPGs and fantastic games alike, Persona 3 FES managed to impress me the first time I played it in 2019. Just something about the whole style, aesthetic, and overall gameplay that just suits me perfectly.

Even if I admit it's flawed, some of its worst issues come from the time of its era (no save points in the Arcana dungeons) which themselves are curbed by relatively easy boss fights. Yet in owning a PS2 since 2004, this managed to be my favorite game on the system.

SA2 was one of my favorite games as a kid. Sonic/Shadow levels were great, music was great, liked the character designs, liked the plot (really! it's got a lot of big melodramatic events in it!), liked getting some of the emblems. I even liked the Chao garden. It was a relaxing place to hang out in. I think I was just prepared to like whatever the game threw at me. I don't think it'd work now but man was it effective when I lived with my brother and we would play together.

I've heard multiple people mention disliking laws in FFTA. Why is that?

I know what you mean wrt useless jobs lol, like, beastmaster? k.

I don't think it aged too terribly. I think Sonic Adventure 2's real problems today would be things like the camera, a few bugs, and whatnot. Still a solid and unique 3D platformer with tons of variety in its stage design and a stellar soundtrack. You could remaster a game like that and it would end up still selling well and being as great as it was back then.

FFTA laws restrict your ability to use certain abilities. Unfortunately, most of these aren't even preset and just random based on how many turns it takes for you to touch a map point. This can effectively screw your party over if your focus revolves around a particular battle strategy that gets banned.

I heard FFTA2's law system was improved. But also consider FFT never restricted your abilities and is naturally the most popular entry in the series for good reason.

I found it enjoyable but imperfect. The worst problem I had with FFTA was the character design and losing quest items making it nigh-impossible to ever get them back to continue. Laws were a secondary issue.

Good music, spritework, maps, and an interesting tale on escapism logic though. Highly addictive gameplay too.

Addendum: I have the sequel which I heard was better. I'll eventually start playing it while I wait for Triangle Strategy.

I liked Sonic Adventure 2: Battle but I don't think I would call it objectively good. It's probably either that or some mobile game or other.

This game is objectively good. I'd give it around the 7-8 range.

Good game, memorable classic, but imperfect and that's okay.

I haven't seen a single person advocate for the original, and I'm not sure what the arguments would be. Aside from the changes to visuals and music, DE is nothing but quality of life improvements... and even the music can easily be toggled to the original soundtrack.

Wait, maybe if someone truuuuly hates the new character faces, I can see them preferring the Wii version, but man, that's a drop in the bucket compared to all the improvements.

There will always be those weird purists out there.

Dickson was the only great Wii face, but human models generally were always terrible, just an understandable cost of running gorgeous large-scale open environments on the Wii
