The TCD version is actually preferred by many fans, for the soundtrack and combining the two games together.

Though it probably affects Ys 1 more than 2, since the Eternal/Complete version of 1 has an absurdly low level cap and jacks up the difficulty of a couple bosses to an insane degree compared to the rest of the game.

Now I'm half expecting it to turn out to be Guardians 1 next, and everyone will be all "Did you vote Guardians for number 1?" "I thought you voted for Guardians for number 1!"

ha ha

(Ragnarok seems like the most realistic to go next though)

I kind of left it out of my Doctor Strange writeup since it's veering pretty wide off topic, but about the Dormammu scene.

So yeah, it's clever sure. Maybe too ""clever""? Like it's portrayed as being brave standing up to an opponent that you can't win against, and beating them anyway. But it's not something neat and tidy, it's very dirty and ugly and inelegant. It's madness. It would be like taking a suicidal and self destructive option with no regard to your own safety or well-being that would crush both you and your opponent and then still keep grinding and grinding away every single atom of your being every single thing that makes you you for something that can't even be called a victory.

If Strange kept his memories from each loop, it's pretty implausible for him to be able to stay sane after being killed in painful ways potentially hundreds of thousands of times. If he's not retaining his memories and is basically being "reset" each loop... well the movie kind of felt like it was slanted more towards that interpretation and it's more reasonable, but in that case the moral of Strange learning to put others before himself and be willing to make sacrifices for the sake of others doesn't really work (because he's not actually "learning" anything or making any sort of meaningful sacrifice if he's being reset to the way he was at the start of the confrontation). And then there's Dormammu, some sort of cosmic entity who would presumably have a different scale of time and been wanting to destroy earth for who knows how long giving up relatively "easily" after such a short amount of "time" (even assuming that the whole time loop sequence is massively abbreviated and it was actually looped like hundreds of thousands of times).

It just seems like it's taking the concept a bit too lightly.

Time loops aren't really something that a person can go through without breaking, or already being broken/abnormal to begin with.

Doctor Strange is the sort of film I see no one particularly liking or hating to a large degree so that sounds like it's the most plausible - Guardians 2 probably has at least one person hating it.

I think my biggest outlier is my number one, but I was actually expecting it to go out by now. At this rate it would probably end up being in the top ten, or fall just outside of it. Most of my top ten remaining is probably pretty orthodox for the most part, though I'll probably get some outlier points for the order it's in.

I was expecting two of the games left that have someone's last place rankings to be Guardians vol 2 and Iron Man 3, but not Cap 1. >_>

Going into this project, I've been expecting Guardians vol 2 to drop somewhere around 13-15th place due to people having a broad split of opinions on. Civil War is another movie I could see people being divided over (lol) but still get a fair number of top 5/top 10 rankings... I dunno about it dropping before something like Iron Man 3 or Doctor Strange. Iron Man 3/Doctor Strange seem like movies that should drop about now, though I don't really see them as movies someone would put in their top 5 either.

Anyway.

I too bought a Broken Sword game just because it had Sword in the title and it sounded cool, and didn't get what I expected at all. The one I got was Shadow of the Templars for GBA.

I legitimately don't remember a single thing about it. I think I only played it for a day and then got stuck somewhere and gave up.

from what I remember, the gba version does have a pretty nasty glitch where if you do things in the wrong order you can't progress the story and have to start over. (which is what happened to me)

I got a virtual boy for my birthday when it came out.

I only had Mario Tennis, Mario Clash, Galactic Pinball, and Panic Bomber at the time. Enjoyed it well enough. My grandpa also liked playing Galactic Pinball occasionally.

I didn't get Wario Land at the time because I thought it was too hard for me when I played it at the demo stations. >_>; (I was terrible at games. Still don't consider myself to be much good.)

I regret not picking up a few more when they were on clearance. And I had two opportunities to pick up Jack Bros at different stores but I didn't get it either time.

(I did pick up a copy of Wario Land someone traded in to gamestop later on though. Unfortunately I haven't gotten around to beat it yet.)

time to be embarrassed, whee.

my writeups are probably a mess since I have a very ADHD way of trying to compose big walls of text, I usually have it open in another tab and end up adding a few words at a time before clicking back on another tab to browse some more, jumping around between working on different sentences or paragraphs. So I tend to worry about my train of thought coming across, that I forgot something or repeated words and phrases too much. Sometimes I have a tab open because I plan on posting something, but I feel too much time has passed or that my point isn't really strong enough and just... close the tab instead of posting it. >_>

anyway enough being self conscious.

I think that Captain Marvel and Guardians vol 2. seem like they would have the most mixed opinions about them overall (at least people who hate them seem to really hate them. I remember seeing a topic here about Guardians vol 2 where there were a couple people who loathed it.), but I don't think that they would be hated widely enough to land at the very bottom (or at least not before Hulk or Thor 2 or maybe Ultron).

I'm going to guess it's Ant Man and the Wasp, since rather than people hating it I figure it's a case of apathy where no one is enthusiastic enough about it to rank it higher than the middle so it would end up naturally gravitating more towards the bottom of the list. And the 4-5 movies most people hate would end up competing against one another for "worst" so say Thor 2 will probably end up more like 22nd or 21st place.

You probably can get by without training everyone, there aren't any consecutive boss fights and you aren't trapped in there.

So you can put Mog w/ his charm on your C team so they can go and hit switches for the other teams, have your A and B teams finish their routes. Then if you don't think you could beat the boss with your C team you can leave the dungeon and put your C team on one of the routes you've already cleared (since they don't respawn) and fight the last one with your A team.

Am I the only one who thinks this is really weird? Like is your room on r/neckbeardnests or something?

well, I think it probably fell into a vent so I couldn't get to it easily.

I've also remembered that one of my cousins erased my Castlevania CotM normal mode file that had everything except the Black Dog card (though at least my save files for the other 4 modes weren't affected), and another time a different cousin erased my 150 pokemon blue file to start a new game (I might still have the save file on one of those crappy third party save backup cards, but I doubt it).

i think there's some way to cheese Magic Master's last attack (besides casting reraise), like I want to say that you can just get him to use up all his mp or drain it from him and then it fails when he tries to cast it... but I'm not sure since it's been a while since I played it and I might actually be thinking of another boss/game.

I think that once you get Leviathan, you've got pretty much everything that you can get done before the final dungeon (maybe one more that was added to the gba version, dunno if you can get it now or if it's too hard to beat since I haven't played the gba version). Well, I might be mistaken and you might have missed some minor espers from the original too that I didn't notice when skimming over your posts but I think you're mainly just missing one esper from the original game and three that were added to the gba version including Leviathan.

I think there was a bad glitch in the gba version of Broken Sword that prevented you from progressing but I don't remember what it was. Probably doing things in the wrong order.

The US version of the 7th Saga greatly nerfed the stats your character gets on level up in order to make the game more difficult. Anyway if you're not familiar with the game there's a system where the other possible playable apprentices are "competing" with you to get the runes, and will either join you or challenge you to a duel. The problem is that these duels scale to your level, and their stats are still based on the japanese version. It's not too bad at first, but eventually (probably somewhere around level 40) the stat difference is pretty much insurmountable. Oh and one of the apprentices gets a super broken healing spell (also around level 40 too), which completely restores all of his hp and mp each time it's used including the mp it takes to cast it so he can cast it an infinite number of times.

You can avoid fighting apprentices in most cases (it's rng based, so as long as you haven't fought them before to make them permanently hostile you can reroll whether they will offer to join you or challenge you to a duel by fighting another 10-20 battles before talking to them again), but there's two cases where you have to fight one for a rune. The first isn't bad since it's early on, but the second to get the Sky rune is maybe 2/3rds into the game and you'd likely be about the level duels become practically unwinnable by that point.

Though, you can still get the apprentice with the Sky rune to join you and give it to you instead of having to fight for it, if you reset/reroll the rng enough. Also I guess you can cheat the battle a bit in this specific case only by KOing your main character so the apprentice will challenge the partner instead, and when the battle starts use an item to revive your mc to make it a 2 on 1 fight.

Also you can actually take advantage of the level scaling too, since apprentices that join you as a partner are scaled to your level with stats based on the japanese version so they would be much more powerful than if you recruited them early and tried to grind up their levels yourself.

I did not play the second game... is it any good?

I haven't played much of either, but I get the impression that the second is basically more of the same as the first, except maybe a bit easier/more unbalanced since new characters kind of overlap/combine the old ones in utility (like the werewolf overlaps erik somewhat, but can attack too and there's a winged dragon who can also breathe fire. the old characters do get some new abilities/powerups though).

One thing I ended up seeing when looking up missables is that apparently this version of FF6 made the reward for deathgaze missable, if you don't beat it before doing the bonus dungeon. Thought I should say something, since you ended up beating the harder versions of Omega/Shinryuu added to the GBA version before the original ones in ff5.

What you fight and what you win in the coliseum depends on what you bet so you should probably try to experiment a bit (don't remember the betting list, and not really wanting to look up a list right now >_>). If you bet something shitty, you fight Tyhpon and he tries to sneeze you out of the battle. Might want to save first before experimenting since IDK if you can get everything back.

this portion of the game is nonlinear after getting the airship, and you can go straight to the final dungeon (but it's not recommended due to the gimmick).

actually the Lolo series started out with the Eggerland games on the MSX. Some of the games had a level editor, and others had the levels strung together in a "dungeon" format. The first Adventures of Lolo game in the US was actually a new game/remix of older levels in the vein of Snakebird Primer aimed at less experienced players (the levels in the US versions of Lolo "2" and "3" are also different/easier, and the european version of the game boy one added some easier levels before getting to the harder ones)

it's a pretty neat series (other than some dumb things like forcing enemies to respawn in different locations that can only be figured out through trial and error) and it would be cool to see a modern revival of it.
