I wonder when people will realize there's no apostrophe in Emmys.

Keeps track of your scores, sequence mode, tons of challenges, it's really amazing how much more there is to it than the other ones.

Soccer is an inferior sport that's only popular around the world because it's incredibly easy to learn and costs almost nothing to participate in. For kids, it's great to learn basic teamwork and dexterity. As a professional sport for entertainment, it's awful.

Achievements are the dumbest "feature" to ever be added to games. Completely pointless noise that reward you for doing something you'd do by normally playing the game, break immersion with notifications as if I need to be told I just beat a boss, and the fact that so many people consider then essential to modern games is completely ridiculous.

FFX-2 is a good, fun game that does not deserve its black sheep status.

I don't hate it, but it's boring as hell to watch. You can get a whole game's worth of excitement by just watching the highlight reel. The tension is minimal since there's technically not a "time limit" on how long things can drag out. In football, there's a maximum number of points one can get with each given possession. So you know if you're down three touchdowns in the fourth quarter, you'd need a lot of work done in a very short period of time, between scoring three touchdowns and preventing your opponent from scoring.

In baseball, you could be down 9 runs in the final inning, but if you get enough hits you can just hammer out all nine of them in a single rotation. Is it likely? Nah, but it's boring to watch. Baseball is like 90% pitcher vs. batter and 10% "Sometimes the guys in the field miss a catch and things go CRAZY"

Nah, that's exactly what makes baseball great: there's no clock. You don't lose by running out of time, you lose by running out of chances. There's no NBA garbage time or worrying if your coach knows how to use timeouts. I have no idea how you conclude that a team coming back to score 9 runs in the 9th inning is boring.

The Alpha to the Omega Xenogears

The first Pokemon game. Then no sequels would ever have been made either.

But you can only wipe out one game. You'd still be left with either Red or Green.

I pick FFVII. So Squaresoft could instead divert their resources to the superior Xenogears and finish it.
