logical continuation of the federation marine segments from MP3 except now we have Quirky Lil Guys instead of Faceless Grunts (plus admiral I forgot his name, who used his battlecruiser as an acid-rain umbrella because he's just built different)

Logically speaking odds are the Annoying Nerd Guy is going to be the NPC you talk to for one area and then gets shuffled into a plothole until an endgame sequence.

Admiral Dane was a badass. He really is built different lol.

Yeah there's no doubt thats gonna happen at some point. This game seems to have a variety of characters that are gonna be popping in from time to time from the looks of things.

Its a shame you're in Iowa because otherwise id apply lol

Im gonna be honest. Im still excited for this game. This looks like the game that Other M wanted to be narratively speaking but utterly failed so hard at.

From what I see, this is just taking the aspects of MP3 and taking a little more of the good design aspects from MP1 and MP2 to make MP4. I gotta say it looks really good to me

Im not saying its gonna be a perfect game. It by default already can't be for everyone because of the ally system it seems to have and how many in this topic seem to be against it. It undeniably does take away from the complete isolation that the majority of the series has and for some that is indeed a deal breaker.

For me, I've never truly cared about the complete isolation in the sense that I don't value it as highly as others seem to, so I don't care if its fully there or not. Not to say i dont like it. If I didnt, I probably wouldn't be a fan of the series. I just don't see it as the defining feature.

Besides, i really don't think that the isolation feeling is gonna be completely gone. Even MP3 had moments like that, so i still have faith they know what they're doing even if the original developers aren't there anymore and its new people at Retro Studios. I think they've long proven themselves as a competent developer still to this day and to me have yet to release a bad game.

Just to be clear though, is Tara Strong a right-winger like Karen Strassman and Vic Mignogna?

Wait. Vic Mignogna is a right winger? I knew about Karen Strassman being one but the only thing I knew about Vic was his whole "he's a creep" thing

Hmmm...I'm not surprised that its common in those regions of the world but I am surprised its as high as it is considering that most people i know always seem to struggle saying my last name

The site also says its pretty prevalent in the USA which is news to me since whenever people see my last name many always go "Thats an interesting last name" or something along those lines

That said, i do not like my last name very much, specifically because I get tired having to correct people on how to pronounce it (also doesn't help that there have been two fairly public figures that suck and are complete morons that share my last name)

Whenever you see terms like 2x "insert number here" for RAM, it means you have 2 of whatever capacity of RAM you got

So for your 2x8 GB example, that would mean you have 2 8 GB sticks of RAM

In your picture above, you have 1x16 GB stick of RAM, unless you have a second one laying around somewhere

They killed off a fan favorite character to make room for her little vanity project

Ah yeah thats right. I remember now. Poor Emily Wong

ROBBAN posted...

Don't forget the Jessica Chobot thing
(I think that was her name)

Yeah that was her name. What even was the deal with her character being in the game? Like why did people have such a strong reaction against it?

Man he would have made a great Joker.

Seriously. He already had the perfect performance and mannerisms for a great Joker, live action or otherwise

Damn you're at the level I want to reach lol

I sure wish Xatu was better. Its a very unique looking totem pole bird pokemon that generally speaking isnt all that great

Its one of my favorites but it usually gets outclassed by many pokemon

Whats this you refer to?

The Final Mix version adds a LOT to the overall experience, especially in terms of extra content.

Depending on why you found KH2 to be disappointing, the FM version may or may not fix those issues for you

Garioshi posted...

So are the Organization guys I killed in COM still dead or what

Yes they are still dead in KH2

Funny enough the schedule you listed is extremely similar to what I currently have lol. 1:20 to 11:50.

It can be rough but I found that once you got past the initial hurdles of that kind of schedule you adjust real easily. Its not for everyone, but it works for me honestly.

Pretty much what everyone else has already said is what I would say. I will add this though. Energy drinks or coffee are fine if you need them to wake up but over time it's definitely something that you don't want to get too accustomed to drinking regularly, especially energy drinks.

You don't want to be crashing from exhaustion after drinking them too much. Definitely make sure you stay hydrated. I find it keeps me awake longer and it helped to curb my need for energy drinks. Now I only drink them if I absolutely need to and even then i try not to drink more than 1 to 2 a day.

Are you supposed to keep the game pieces in case you win a big prize or can you discard them after scanning them?

It says you're supposed to when you scan the piece

Not even that. It started as a pushback against the unusually thin model / beauty culture. Women with literally healthy weight ranges were being called fat.

Ah yes thats right. That is how it originally started. That said, it did pretty much become that for some people. Unfortunately, like with many things, some people took it way too far

Metal_Gear_Raxis posted...

I'm fat myself, so I'm allowed to say body positivity is downright dangerous. Don't harass fat people, but there's nothing to be positive over about being 300+ pounds, you need to make a change for your own sake.

Pretty much this as well for me.

I'll also add that "body positivity" was never meant to go this far in this regard. Body positivity was always meant to be used in the way that you don't NEED to feel bad for being fat, especially if the reason you are fat is for whatever reason beyond your control (not very common but it does happen).

It was never meant to make people get special treatment in life, act like they are a discriminated class, or to maintain unhealthy habits because "being fat is good and okay actually". That sense of entitlement and mentality is what's dangerous

I'd be more than a little surprised if the next one isn't Abyss. With Graces and Xillia done, and Xillia 2 entering production, that takes care of the easy more modern ones. If they're turning to the older games, Abyss is by far the most popular unless they're planning on fucking up Symphonia for the 3rd time.

Pretty much this. I've been saying to people I know that they're just getting the easy ones outta the way first, since these current remasters don't really need that much to look and run great on current platforms. Its also helps that these games are now getting PC releases while being remastered, basically guaranteeing they endure forever.

Outside of Graces and the two Xillias, nothing else from the PS3/360/Wii era (that wasnt on a handheld) really needs to be remastered at this point.

-Vesperia already had one released years ago, and outside of making a quick PS5/Series X version (which can still play the current version thanks to backwards compatibility), it's on every modern console that can play it.
-Zesteria and Berseria haven't been remastered, BUT they do already have PC versions and are playable on Sony's current systems. I could see them make an updated port at some point to expand how many systems they are playable on but I don't see these as being high priority since they aren't "trapped" on older hardware like Graces and the Xillias were.

So that pretty much leaves all the older games, both console and handheld. This is where the remaster projects are gonna get a little more crazy because they are older games that need a little more attention as they are in the "pre HD" era

The music definitely slaps and I do like the setting and actual story, but there is certain things about the gameplay side that aged pretty badly or even felt aged at it's time of release. All of the crystal erens people and 2 of the iron erens people moses and jay just don't feel all that fun to play as compared to senel and chloe.

Main reason I prefer if this one got a remake is just so they can fix up that gameplay but with keeping the same story. Like the jump from tales of destiny PS1 to tales of destiny PS2. Hell maybe they can fit like 2 more playable characters in there with a remake. Actually have a nice list of unlockable outfits and whatnot. Really tune up those magic graphics because that indignation from will looks dinky. Things like that.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hmfbe_Yn2ls

Arche, genis, jade, rita, cheria and laphicet is shedding a tear over that indignaton. Hell even the villains like shizel and ganabolt got those indignations with oomph in it.

Damn. I forgot that what Indignation looked like in Legendia. I love the game but man it needs a glow up

Is there even such thing as "just a sword" in KH core canon? Like, I know Jack Sparrow has one but that's because it's from a Disney world.

Anyway, it definitely is a keyblade, even if that was retconned in later. Besides, that doesn't change the fact that he's been using keyblades since 1.

Soul Eater itself is not a Keyblade. It is a Darkness based Sword.

Riku's Keyblade is Way to the Dawn in KH2. It looks similar because it uses Soul Eater as its base for design but thats it otherwise. They are completely different weapons

For some reason I thought this was about the whole "why is 6 afraid of 7?" joke and I was all thinking "this isnt new. In fact it's super old now" until I realized it was something else entirely

Accolon posted...

I haven't finished BBS, but I know there's a connection between the trios.

But is it explained why they suddenly get keyblades at this specific moment?

Because in KH2 it comes out of nowhere, isn't explained, and isn't even brought up by the characters.

Oh that specifically...yeah I got nothing. I don't think that was ever explained.

The first is explained in BBS essentially

The second one i don't think was ever explained, or rather, the reason why Riku had it, was never explained. Kairi being able to use it was also explained in BBS

BBS = Birth By Sleep

Just in case you weren't aware for some reason

I kinda like the way Ocean Dub (Scott McNeil) did it. Like, it still sounds a little out of character for our boy, but not to such a crazy level.

THIS IS THE ONE I KNOW!!! I knew i wasnt imagining it lol

Still though, I could've sworn Chris Sabat's version was also as intense but I guess it wasnt. I must've been remembering this one on top of that one

Since its related, pretty sure James Earl Jones did the same for Darth Vader in signing the rights of his voice for AI use

Hmm, I remember that scene being more intense in how he was saying that. Must've watched a different version

Goku has had many VAs, but the only one i know to have died, is Kirby Morrow from the Ocean Dub

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kirby_Morrow

Im now sad. I had no idea he had passed away five years ago. He was the voice behind a lot of characters in many shows from my childhood like Inuyasha and X-Men Evolution in addition to Dragon Ball while Ocean Dub Group still did it. He is missed.

Welcome to a new kind of tensionall across the alienation

Lol this is where my thoughts immediately went

Asian food, Japanese in particular, is highly overrated. That said, i do love eating the stuff. Its just it always seems to be put on such a higher pedestal generally speaking in my experience

Like someone else said, American food gets WAY TOO MUCH hate in general. There is a lot of good stuff here that gets overshadowed by all the crap and I imagine thats true of a lot of other culture's food

I might be going to Japan with family for the first time ever in a couple years so that'll be fun. In the meantime, have fun over there.

Which world leader would be the one to try and build Outer Heaven?

Its pretty ridiculous too when you consider that some indie games with even smaller budgets can afford voice acting as well nowadays.

Its not always the best quality stuff, nor is at the same scale, but there are some that are quite good

I can't really think of any off the top of my head but two that I always thought had punchable faces were Tobey Maguire and Elijah Wood

In retrospect I can see how bison were hunted to near extinction. I killed so, so many for fun...

And to answer the initial question, I probably never make it down the rapids at the end. WTF even was that?

Yeah I was gonna comment on this. As a kid, I enjoyed the game. But I REALLY enjoyed the hunting mini game there. Being a kid, I didn't realize it was bad to excessively hunt all the animals because I would get too much food and it would spoil over time. Besides that, i essentially was no better than the stupid settlers that overheated these animals because they could and ended up wasting many parts of the animal.

For the original question: id say it's a 50/50 I could make it. Who knows?

anttttt posted...

absolutely insane take. the fan project doesn't fix the shitty plot or the shitty writing or the shitty level design

grandia 3's kinda bad but the combat's pretty solid. pretty much everything else about the game is bad or mediocre, including its ost

No but it fixes the shitty gameplay, the long loading, crappy performance, and most if not all the bugs, which is where the main complaints always were of the game

Also, shitty level design? I mean some levels weren't the best but not all of the game had shitty level design

Makes me wonder what the argument was even about

Devil May Cry 2 is my answer. It needs an entire remake for it to be good.

There were some cool things in the game that were sadly held back by its non existent story and crap simplistic gameplay

I didnt think anyone could be worse than Bush Jr. until Trump was elected. Now it's definitely Trump.

Biden is third but even in his ramblings he usually managed to get his point or message across

Im just disturbed so many people are like hur hur just learn the laws and follow them when our own country is falling under a very unjust system of laws. This of course may not apply to comments coming from non Americans. But if you are then are you ready to suck it up and accept everything this administration pushes through?

The comments apply to everyone. Every country has some law thats stupid and have extreme consequences in relation to its actual severity when broken.

doshindude posted...

Yeah I'm really not a fan of any of the voice work in BotW, TotK, AoC, or AoI. Zelda just isn't a franchise built for VA and I really hope it just doesn't return. People who wanted the voice acting for all these years definitely ate crow.

I didn't eat crow. I like the voice acting. Its not the greatest I've ever heard but it sounds good enough and it's all I ever expected from the series.

Don't count on it ever going away at this point unless it's for a smaller 2D entry or something
