Topic | Resident Evil Village Review Round-Up |
Axl_Rose_85 05/05/21 10:48:35 PM #21 | ninkendo posted... I like 6 more than 5 and 3 Terrible opinion even though I am one of the last person who will ever defend RE5's shameless copy pasting of RE4. So now people think RE6 is ok or even good? Seriously? I think this may literally have topped people doing a 180 on MGS4. I have officially seen everything on this board. |
Topic | What's the biggest video game series you've beaten every entry in? |
Axl_Rose_85 05/04/21 10:40:43 PM #75 | I'd like to say Final Fantasy but then there's stuff like Crystal Chronicles, Tactics Advance 2 and Type-0 that I have absolutely zero interest in (pun intended). I'd like to say Metal Gear but then there's stuff like Acid and whatever that pathetic attempt at cash grab was that Konami absolutely miserably failed at after Kojima left. I'd like to say Zelda but then there is stuff like those godawful Tri-Force Heroes and those musou games that I personally will never like (although I do like Persona 5 Strikers a lot). I'd like to say Mario but then there is countless sports games and party games that forget completing them all, but I don't even care enough to know how many there are by now. I'd like to say Resident Evil but then there is stuff like Umbrella Chronicles, Dead Aim, Operation Raccoon City and hoooboy, the granddaddy of em' all, perhaps the best game ever made, Resident Evil Gaiden. Persona has those dancing games, Kingdom Hearts has this new rhythm game and all those mobile whatevers, Suikoden has Tactics and Tierkries. So looks like the winner is Xenoblade Chronicles or Xeno games by default for me. I'd like to also say FromSoftware games but no way in hell am I playing King's Field and all those pre-Demon's Souls games. |
Topic | Do you rush through games just because you have less time for gaming? |
Axl_Rose_85 05/03/21 1:23:25 PM #18 | No. Rushing through a game, especially one I like makes me feel like I'm doing myself a disservice. |

Topic | Playing Nioh(complete edition) for the first time. |
Axl_Rose_85 04/30/21 12:43:48 AM #22 | Nioh 1 is easily my favorite soulslike game that isnt made by FromSoftware themselves. The other ones I tried like Code Vein, The Surge and Jedi Fallen Order were not very good whereas Nioh 1 can actually compete with the weakest of the FromSoftware entries. Even 2 is very good but feels more like an massive expansion than a sequel. |

Topic | Best Member of the Fellowship of the Ring Day 6 |
Axl_Rose_85 04/26/21 6:49:21 AM #20 | ChichiriMuyo posted... Sam is the heart of the Fellowship, and absolutely has the best character growth through the series. I'm not sure how you get either Legolas or Gimli over him without basing the decision on some bit of cinematography from the films. They're pretty much the literal definition of 2D stand-ins for their respective races, and even the part where their cultural heritage could have had some impact on the story (Moria) it's still Frodo and Gandalf that really get shit done. As much as I like Gimli and Legolas, this is the reason why I would never put them anywhere close to Aragorn, Gandalf and Sam. |
Topic | Best Member of the Fellowship of the Ring Day 6 |
Axl_Rose_85 04/25/21 12:15:46 PM #6 | Gimli or Legolas has no business being in the Top 3. Top Fellowship ranking is so clearly Aragorn, Gandalf, Sam, that I find any other opinions baffling. |

Topic | Sell me on these PS1/PSP JRPGs |
Axl_Rose_85 04/19/21 12:44:37 AM #33 | The Legend of Dragoon is a very good game with a pretty good but predictable JRPG storyline. I recommend it to JRPG fans. Play the PSP version of Persona 1. It is much better than the PS1 with it's terrible load times, cut content and the abomination of a overworld map in that version. As for Persona 2 IS and EP. I kinda liked playing the fan translation of IS (which is very good) and EP on the same console. The PSP version is just as good though. However do not expect Persona 1 and the 2 games to be anywhere near the level of 3, 4, 5. Keep your expectations in check and those will be ok to good games. |
Topic | Did you like the PS3 more or the 360? |
Axl_Rose_85 04/18/21 12:42:28 AM #9 | PS3 slightly because of better exclusives but this is the only generation of sony consoles where it is not the outright winner. PS1, 2 and 4 dominates their generation where PS3 barely manages to squeak a win. |

Axl_Rose_85 04/05/21 2:42:55 AM #21 | No Pretty lame villain but still better than Ansem and Xehanort. Kingdom Hearts is good but villains aren't its strong suit. |
Topic | Sleeper titles that are among your top ~25 games? |
Axl_Rose_85 04/03/21 4:44:49 PM #9 | None in Top 25 unless you count Suikoden II as a sleeper hit. Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams is the answer for me concerning under appreciated and underrated titles though. |

Topic | I hate Super Mario Sunshine so much |
Axl_Rose_85 03/28/21 1:45:43 AM #27 | But Odyssey and Rise of Skywalker are on opposite ends when it comes to universal acclaim. Prequel trilogy is looked more fondly upon (which I personally find laughable) because of TLJ and RoS shitting the bed but Sunshine is being looked fondly upon for absolutely no explainable reason all of a sudden. |

Topic | I hate Super Mario Sunshine so much |
Axl_Rose_85 03/28/21 1:19:12 AM #25 | 64 has worse controls than Sunshine but everything else is better. Sunshine is the worst 3D Mario game by a country mile. I truly find it astonishing how much love people suddenly started pouring over it after the debacle that is 3D All Stars. I still resent that collection for not including Galaxy 2 and I hated Sunshine even more than I remember going after my 2nd ever 100% run. It sucked so bad. Laziest cash grab effort from Nintendo ever. Sorry I turned this into a 3D All Stars topic. This is just how much I hate the Galaxy 2 snub. |

Axl_Rose_85 03/23/21 2:44:44 PM #157 | Leonhart4 posted... And yes, Trance is awful and inexcusable. It's an extreme overreaction for how abusable Limit Breaks were in FFVIII Limits are meant to be abused in FFVIII. The game discourages you from using GFs early on and the final boss outright kills GFs if you summon them. No way anyone is beating Omega Weapon without abusing Limits. The so called limit abuse was meant to be this way. Only thing is that the method isn't explained in-game |
Topic | What's the worst game you've sunk 50+ hours into? |
Axl_Rose_85 03/23/21 2:38:57 PM #156 | I actually like powering up the Celestial Weapons and their respective mini-games now. I've played FFX so many times that I have gotten quite consistently good with the mini-games. The first time ever though was terrible. Playing a shit ton of Blitzball for Wakka's weapon is such a slog though. After your team gets strong enough, Blitzball kinda becomes mind numbingly boring and easy. |
Topic | What's the worst game you've sunk 50+ hours into? |
Axl_Rose_85 03/23/21 2:11:03 PM #150 | Mini-games shouldn't be held accountable for a game's quality in any capacity though. You do them if you wanna do them. Only FFX forces it upon you for powering up the Celestial Weapons which IMO is the game's biggest blunder. |

Axl_Rose_85 03/23/21 1:36:53 PM #145 | Leonhart4 posted... It has a plethora of awful mini-games, too. Tetra Master sucks ass yes especially coming right after Triple Triad but Chocobo Hot n' Cold is the best Chocobo related side quest/mini-game in the series' history. I'm purposely ignoring Hippaul Racing and Jump Rope. |

Axl_Rose_85 03/23/21 1:31:42 PM #141 | UshiromiyaEva posted... Aesthetically IX is much, much better than VII and VIII, but it is pretty tough to go back to. I would praise it more for standing out from what I felt was a bland direction the series was going in (to this day I just don't jive with Nomura), but that's just about it. How was it going to a bland direction when literally every game in the series is so different from one another? (especially after FFVI) It is this aspect of the FF games that makes it my favorite series in video games even though its latest ventures have been a noticeably lower in quality. |
Topic | What's the worst game you've sunk 50+ hours into? |
Axl_Rose_85 03/23/21 1:27:33 PM #137 | Like what? The plot being too childish at times? I think the writing is still one of the very best. I still replay this game time and time again (not nearly as much as VII and VIII) and apart from the battle speed it holds up really well. |
Topic | What's the worst game you've sunk 50+ hours into? |
Axl_Rose_85 03/23/21 1:22:25 PM #134 | I love FFIX but it is definitely the weakest one from the golden era of Final Fantasy (FFVII-X). I imagine it is the slow battle speed that is a huge turn off for current players otherwise the game has aged very well. Overall gameplay is such a step back from the greatness of VII and VIII though. |
Topic | What's the worst game you've sunk 50+ hours into? |
Axl_Rose_85 03/23/21 1:15:29 PM #129 | The game is not good. Repetitive and boring missions Embarrassingly bad storyline and characters. Terrible LAW system. Uninspired map and mechanics of a poor poor man's Final Fantasy Tactics. My hatred for the game runs even deeper than having put so many hours into it because I actually expected something faithful to the original FFT. |

Axl_Rose_85 03/23/21 4:56:36 AM #75 | Doesn't exactly help that I heard Disgaea 1 has the best story and characters in its series if you can even call that a story. |
Topic | What's the worst game you've sunk 50+ hours into? |
Axl_Rose_85 03/23/21 4:55:10 AM #74 | Also while this may not be entirely topic related, I dread touching any Disgaea game even though I had quite a blast with the first game. I spent about 150 hours in that game and heard from people that the gameplay is basically the same in the entire series. Maybe it is because the story and characters wasn't exactly my cup of tea but the gameplay was very good. |

Axl_Rose_85 03/23/21 4:49:44 AM #73 | I didn't have strong feelings for Dark Cloud 2 either. The dungeons were so bland and combat was boring af. I liked the Georama system though but apart from that there is very few things I liked about that game. Story and characters are downright embarrassing as well. |
