wgz is the one who said that, go get confused at him.

I'm the one saying that Remake is actually good, and doesn't need a Rocket League mode to have variety.

You're aware you don't drive Red like a car, right?

When did I make reference to Remake at all in my post? I talked about Rebirth and 16.

He's saying that "playing a game with no variety" would be Remake. You're confused because it's not even true.

I haven't found a mini-game I'm bad at yet, but iirc the piano stuff got patched to be more generous on position of the sticks, right?

You speak like someone who has never played the 2020 action RPG called Final Fantasy 7 Remake

You speak like someone who ignored as much as possible in Sector 6.

(and 5 come to think of it)

I'm up to Costa del Sol and none of the mini-games have been bad. The only thing I've really disliked was Cactuar pics. I looked up the one that ended up being on the fire hydrant. That's not technically a mini-game though, I guess?

It's way too awkward this isn't one trial with 5-5, which is funny cause the next game has the opposite problem.

You're right, I meant Cloud OR Link

Yeah that should cover it, lol

foolm0r0n posted...

It's insane what people will pretend is good game design just because Cloud is on the cover of the box

What about the hundreds of other games you call people wrong about that don't have Cloud?

Or was Cloud hidden on all those boxes and I missed it?

The Boss from Saints Row. Either solves world hunger or cures Cancer.

I mean, in a way they do both!

It's funny how much Abbott Elementary stands out simply by being a successful and competent show on network TV in this decade.

Oh also the parent server of the orange man's social media server complained to the NASDAQ server that their Minecraft stock keeps going down.

Suffice it to say that apparently on the trial server the orange man was apparently so flatulent his Minecraft lawyers had to pantomime having trouble dealing with it.

I'm just going to assume fuck fandom again there

Actually nah, I decided I wasn't being "clever" enough to hide the context of an actual Twitter link.

Although that's still fuck Fandom

For a case that sees the triumphant return of Phoenix, it does very little for me. +1 for the bluff call though

Oh hey it came back at some point.

If the last poll ever was about Discord then that's hilarious.

Simon's a little too inscrutable in the wrong ways to have me fully buy him as this super mastermind. If I'm remembering it correctly, he could have just done nothing before E2-4 and things likely would have gone his way in the end.

Otherwise, this is a pretty high rating for a case I remember pretty poorly, but I did quite enjoy it at the time.

Before I can rate this, can anyone remind me why Simon does any of the shit he's responsible for besides getting Knightley killed? Was E2-3 just him being mad at his dad? Past that I have no idea.

I heard the Jewish server had them, though.

I have become convinced that the only reason CE is at the forefront of this issue is its name, not its community

Almost certainly

I like 6-3 but the only thing reminiscent of a finale is how the first trial day ends. And really that only applies to a specific moment from one finale.

Is that... commentary?

Get out

No, that's the actual rule as stated on the recent update on the GameFAQs website. Completely factual statement, free from any sort of dangerous commentary, introspection, implications, etc.

Wait, I can post on CE? Must've accidentally clicked on something in the last year.

I just had this same realization.

I'm taking them being posted at the same time as a sign that talking about being trans isn't political, which is hopefully the case.

Until Fandom says it is.

Wow this site is going to reach new levels of dead, isn't it?

I feel like this may be a strong indicator of how much you are swayed by a strong ending.

It turns out in my case, it's a lot!

Cool premise that doesn't really shine as much as I would have hoped.

And yeah Courtney and Debeste have perhaps the worst introductions of any major characters in the entire series.

I actually haven't played it. I only watched dowolf's translation.

Oh, btw, as far as Consecrated Snowfields goes, there are tactics I don't think if we ever covered.

1. If you're actually in one of the limited shelter areas during the snowstorm, no enemy will spawn. The problem is the spacing is so fucked that it's very hard to work with that and at some points literally impossible.
2. I've never done this myself, but supposedly they're permanently despawnable like any other DS2 enemy with repeated kills.

You just have to run into Aldia every time you can, which all happens at pretty obvious bonfires.

PeaceFrog posted...

Yeah in the base game the final boss was Nashandra

Aldia actually did get added to both versions of DS2 when Scholar came out, for whatever reason.

I dropped by to make sure this was here. Carry on everyone.

The reason boss runbacks get largely reduced or removed in later games is that they fall into one of two categories. They're either easily trivialized once people learn how to play these games, or they're awful bullshit like this.

Even then Elden Ring tosses in the Placidusax runback for no reason.

Also the runback for either Chariot or Skeleton Lords (I forget which) becomes pretty stupid in NG+. DS2 is like the only game that really adds shit to NG+, but it's not always for the best.

Yeah, I guess by "worst" I really meant laziest. He's certainly the easiest!

I know you fought the trio. I may have missed you talking about it, but the boss at the end of the other co-op section is even worse than these two.

Bro what even is this frigid outskirts shit

The worst thing they've ever done intentionally by a wide margin.

Each DLC has an area that the idea was to force co-op without actually forcing co-op. None of them are great but this one is not only awful, playing co-op really doesn't "solve" anything about it. Except the boss I guess.

I'm in the camp of this is good but drags enough to bring it down a bit. Like even actually longer stuff than this case in later games doesn't drag as much.
