Trying to get esper skills now and this is kind of fun and there's a desert area full of challenging enemies, I'm assuming I actually get to fly the airship at some point, that'll be cool

most of the game before now was very sucky aside from a decent plot although poorly presented in terms of gameplay

"They only think this because it's occupied by people who think it."

America only wants to be independant of England because it's occupied by Americans.

Tbf the USA should be given back to the natives.

I'm British with an Irish step family. I think it should be part of the republic, Unionists are scum and the UK government and armed forces have treated the Irish horribly although it's somewhat better now.

Is that t word not offensive anymore?

It was never offensive if used correctly. Crossdressing/transvestites are still a thing separate to transgender. Edit: apparently I'm wrong on this as it originally was a psychiatric term and can be seen as insulting but some crossdressers have reclaimed the term. As someone who has crossdressed many times I wouldn't take offence at it personally.

If you're somehow being serious and not trolling, you sound like you're extremely bad at RPGs. Not only is that opera section really easy, but it's also very short too.

Hope you weren't planning on playing FF9. You wouldn't last 5 hours in that game.

Final Fantasy 9 is a great game, I finished it once and got close to the end several other times.

00000000000000000

So I got through the dumb Opera section, fuck knows how I'd have done it without save stares. That is quite possibly the most offensively badly designed and tedious section of gameplay I've seen in a supposedly good game. If you run out of time you have to go through the whole stupid Opera singing section again. How the hell did kids play and get through this on the Snes without losing their minds? Not to mention the bizarre subplot with the octopus out of nowhere. Then there's the translation error of the Impressario saying Maria has been kidnapped instead of Celes

But I don't get the crazy shit like this. There are actually legitimate living individuals who live alongside us, some in positions of authority, who vote and make decisions every day, who think magic is real. That magic is some king of force easy enough to learn from watching a goddamn cartoon.

There are also plenty of people who believe in and practice magic. I know several in real life. There's nothing crazy about it

I'll never understand the hate FFII gets. It wasn't great I get that, but it had an interesting and unique way of getting stronger.

Levels weren't a factor. Want more HP? Have damage done to you. Want to increase your strength? Deal damage to enemies. Want to improve your accuracy? Have a hit connect to an enemy.

Then again most people abused the hell out of it as soon as they were able, and most in the FF fanbase will straight up attack you for grinding to comically overpowered levels so you roflstomp everything, yet they abused this.

Sounds a bit like SaGa but less random seeming, sounds cool.

That's fine. Most people don't. FF was only ever big during the PS1 and PS2 eras because of the FMVs and nothing else.

And many, many people voted for Donald Trump to be president.

Humanity has a very prevalent tendency for being horribly, horribly wrong.

JRPGs are my favourite genre

13s battles are fairly simple for a good chunk of the game but I found the overall package enjoyable and engaging enough to get through it. Plenty of the battles on Gran Pulse require strategy and get pretty intense.

Hmm, interesting, I loved Frankenstein. What didn't you like about it? For me Naked Lunch just felt... idk, nonsensical and over the top for the sake of it with some of the sexual stuff, but I get that was probably the point. One hundred years of solitude wasn't actually bad from what I remember, like the writing itself, but it kind of drug on I felt like and it wasn't terribly interesting to me.

I suspect I'd just got the wrong impression of how Frankenstein was going to be (blame pop culture) and it felt like a let down in terms of atmosphere and the character of the monster.

That's why I love Naked Lunch, it's not my favourite William S. Burroughs novel but it's very much my kind of writing and subject matter. I liked The Wild Boys more, I think it has more of a coherent narrative while still maintaining that sort of imagery. Good balance. I started reading The Soft Machine and that's like a 100 times more nonsensical seeming than Naked Lunch, I don't think I'll ever finish it because it's the sort of thing I can only read in short sessions so I don't seem to be making a dent in it. Naked Lunch was an easy read in comparison.

One Hundred Years of Solitude seemed really good to me and I read it over a day or so, so didn't really have the issue you did. There's a lot of non English books I'd like to read but I often find it hard to get properly into them knowing I'm reading a translation and not the author's original words.

If you think it's too easy why don't you try Unlimited SaGa or the Romancing SaGa remake or the ports

I like the SaGa series. Saga 1 (aka Final Fantasy Legend) is one of my favourite games, I was far into the Saga 2 remake translation but now my save won't load. Planning on playing all of them eventually, been playing Scarlet Grace on and off on the Switch since release and it's a good challenge + has a lot of freedom.

Can be any book, but I mostly mean books that are considered amazing or classic or important that you didn't like or maybe even disagreed with its being any good to begin with.

Mine:

Naked Lunch
One hundred years of solitude

I love these two.

For me it's Frankenstein, hated it.

Anyone know where I can still play the Hawk games?

Nope, a variety of licensing issues I'm guessing. Even the THPS1 remake got pulled from XBLA eventually. Considering how everyone owned these games second hand copies should be cheaply available. I've been playing 2 with my fiancee lately and my kids play 4 on the gamecube sometimes.

I always thought V's gameplay was so much more fun, but the story is....nonexistent. It's...not good. BUT...the gameplay is addicting and fun. Obtaining the classes and learning abilities is awesome.

That sounds fun and might be more what I'm looking for. I can settle for a barely there story if the gameplay is solid, I like job systems a lot. I think FF6 could possibly turn into something I could enjoy but the beginning of the game is very much not to my tastes.

---

V was what I was initially thinking of playing after this. I'd be playing the GBA version. Am I likely to run into the same problems? If this topic seems inflammatory it's not because I'm trolling I'm just pissed off and disappointed.

I wasn't expecting it to be the exact same as Ted, just swimming in similar waters. So the Brit list is:

* Fawlty Towers
* Red Dwarf
* The IT Crowd
* Blackadder
* Vicar of Dibley
* Black Books
* Jeeves & Wooster

Watch Garth Marenghi's Darkplace. It's a 6 episode horror comedy that's framed as the only surviving episodes of a hospital horror series from the 80s written by a ridiculous pulp horror writer.

Yeah, except that only means one month of watching the series, as opposed to 50 years of owning the DVD boxset. That's CE Logic for you.

DVDs won't last 50 years and there's a lot more you could be watching on there. Maybe even a film you actually remember the title of.

It's just not fun. I'm 7 hours in and I've decided to quit, I've played other old JRPGs and never had so many complaints.

1. Constantly splitting up the party is annoying as fuck. I like to level characters evenly and try to have a balanced group, although that doesn't really matter much because almost every battle is mind numbingly easy.

2. The world map is unmemorable, hard to navigate and has a stupidly high encounter rate. So more tedious battles.

3. Too many gimmick sections. Whether it's magitek, moogles or defending a place while switching between characters

4. This is another gimmick but it's so dumb and infuriating that it deserves it's own section. The fucking Opera stuff, I play JRPGs for battles, grinding and plot. Not for stupid memory games and having my reaction speeds tested. This is where I have given up, I've put 7 hours in and the game hasn't been fun once. I'm going to play something decent instead.

So I'd fight back on someone who wanted to hang out everyday, while trying not to be insensitive.

Considering the usual goal of a relationship for most people is to find someone to settle down with and live with, where you would be spending time together every day, what's wrong or clingy about wanting to do it before then?
