Found what I was looking for

Don't mean to dump on you specifically here because this is a pretty widely-disliked one, but I will go to bat for this song every time. It takes a truly joyless individual to hear this dinky little kazoo song meant to demonstrate that the Yoshis are goofy little guys and go "wow this song is bad and I don't think Nintendo realizes it! Can't believe they published this one!!"

Oh yeah and reminder that the RE: Director's Cut Dualshock Edition OST is credited to the guy who spent almost two decades pretending to be deaf composer and most of his stuff was ghostwritten by another person entirely. We don't know whether this was an actual work of his or ghostwritten.

I really hate Burn! Bobonga! from Chrono Trigger. Even setting aside the Brian Peppers thing

I see people are just posting the usual suspects for general bad video game music, but if you think you know the worst video game song of all time and its not something from Ancient Roman for PS1, youre wrong:

Jim Carrey as Wario in SMB2 (not confirmed or even speculated upon, just my own personal casting choice)

If the guy who played Kevin Butler in the PlayStation commercials had a non-compete agreement to not appear in any other video game-related commercials, I guarantee Jim Carrey has similar for game-related movies

Those trivia flash cards where Mario is praying with a Koran and Luigi is a Confederate soldier and Bowser owns the buses that Rosa Parks got arrested on

Is this the first video game where a hero rescues a kidnapped woman?

not even the first Nintendo game where a hero rescues a kidnapped woman

I'll wait for the next gameplay update. Maybe they'll add talent trees.

I know Chalamet had that controller-modding Youtube channel but I dont know of any B8 connection

is no one gonna mention how fucking choppy this looks

Oh also she was trying to sue some random online commenters for slander but a judge shot that case down

Whats the Rushia drama, soz. Completely out of the loop.

Remember how people thought she was in a relationship with the singer Mafumafu

turns out they were married but have since divorced and are now taking each other to court

I dont think that its accurate to say niji and holo are intentionally western gaming focused as a business model, but rather Japanese gaming companies continue to be weird about internet stuff and just dont give them streaming permissions. We already know the consequences of the big organizations not getting permissions so theyre never gonna risk that again

I forgot that these games don't get simultaneous global releases.

yeah maybe I just didn't see it since I didn't pay much attention to Niji to begin with, but it seems like crossover between the regional branches is much less than Hololive. And I've never seen like, memes or clips or any kind of English-speaking online cultural penetration from their Japanese talents except for Salome. I can only even name like five or six of them

There was a chance things could have slid back into some normalcy with a little more time, and then they stomped all of the toothpaste out of the tube

I knew all the stuff you spoilered there, and I gathered that Popola probably intentionally told Yonah about the Lunar Tear so that she could be captured and sent to Shadowlord to reunite their body and soul. Did they not anticipate that Grimoire Weiss would be awakened by Nier, or did they want him to find the book? What would have happened if Nier was killed, wouldn't that ruin the Project too? Seems awfully risky to keep sending him to all these dangerous places.

havent played Automata yet btw

Except for Ending E, I kinda wish I could have just watched a video of the other playthroughs in the middle. I didnt exactly get much out of playing it through again. Like yeah, the shades were humans and now you can read what theyre saying and youre supposed to maybe feel bad, but Im not dumb and had figured that out in the first playthrough even before Popola and Devola tell you so. Maybe if bosses werent invulnerable until the mid-fight dialogue is over (even if the dialogue is identical to previous playthroughs) I wouldnt have been quite as annoyed by having to go through the motions every time.

Emil, Kaine, and Weiss are great fucking characters each in their own way. Any scene where theyre all talking to each other is so good. I know most people just didnt play this game until Automata, but even after that I dont know how there arent tons of people obsessed with Kaine and talking about her constantly.

Im still not sure what Popola and Devolas endgame was though, aside from getting Shadowlord his body back eventually. A few scenes in the third playthrough suggest that they werent fully on his side? If any of this is revealed/implied through weapon stories let me know, theres no way I was going to grind for any of that shit and the few parts I read didnt seem to have any plot significance anyway.

Glad I didnt listen to whoever here told me I could just skip all the side quests, since weapons mandatory to the later endings were rewards from some of those. Pretty sure some were even in the child part I couldnt go back to. Spreading them out across all the playthroughs made them a little more bearable, and once I had all weapons I skipped anything else that was left.

The music is great, everybody knows that. Kinda wish there were a few more tracks though, a couple of them got reused enough that by playthrough 3 I didnt really want to hear them anymore.

Gameplay is like a solid 6/10 PS2 game, so its a good thing thats not what were here for. I wish you didnt have to do so much of it, the tedium:payoff ratio was definitely not balanced after the first time the credits roll.

the answer is that in most of these games the AI has to cheat to stand a chance (can see the whole map, gets extra resources, etc) and that would become very obvious if you were just watching them at all times. The reason AoE2 doesn't anymore is because they made AI that are actually good at the game and play like players do.

I mostly agree, though its easy to say they shouldve waited instead of going straight into Crystal, but if they hadnt, a copycat would definitely have spun it up within a couple days

Apparently this time they want to try the whole thing with no democracy mode at all. If they were playing Yellow where Safari Zone can be entered even when you run out of money, it might be possible, but its Red again so well see

Many Working Designs games have an unpatch that keeps the game in English but reverts all the terrible gameplay changes they made

here was the team my brother had, which I took over playing after gym 7 and was too lazy to swap anything out

Pangoro
Tyrantrum
Talonflame
Furfrou Debutante Trim
Gogoat
Bibarel

Bibarels Surf was the only Special attack on the entire team. Almost lost to the 8th gym leaders Avalugg as a result. I dont remember any other trouble except Dianthas Gardevoir

Blaseball (RIP)

that Bidoof short is fucking good too

They say 3S is on "arcade" so I wonder if the entry cap is gonna be fairly low on that one

I played Crystal on 3DS for the first time (never played GS either) in the last few months and had a miserable time with it, SV were way more fun. As soon as I caught all the legendaries I put everything in Poke Transporter, didnt even finish Kanto because it was so boring. I played HeartGold back when it came out though and that probably still ranks above Violet for me

When I play a Pokemon game, I decide on my team of 6 before I start playing and those are the only 6 Pokemon I catch (unless the game gates areas off by needing a certain amount.)

This is the most insane thing I have ever fucking heard.

"I don't engage with one of the two primary features of the games and hate them as a result"

With the PlayStation Portal, Steam Deck, and Xbox Remote Play or Xcloud or whatever its called, yes

CTR is best on switch too imo

if you mean compared to the original, yes, but the loading times are like twice as long as the other versions of Re-Fueled

I sometimes forget BDSP exist

I also skipped those and Lets Go

Didnt look good enough for me to bother, just like XY before it

Ive since dabbled in X, using my brothers copy, and I was right about it not being particularly good. Im pretty sure I would feel the same about Sword or Shield.

I straight up forgot Snorlax existed somehow

Im more interested in the Gen 1 competitive Mount Rushmore (assuming Mewtwo and Mew are banned)

Alakazam
Tauros
Chansey
Lapras? Starmie? Exeggutor?

Is it still going to have the literal worst final boss I have ever seen in a video game
