Gran Turismo is a ridiculous answer to this question. Gran Turismo 5 is the second-best selling PS3 game of all time. Gran Turismo 6 is the tenth-best selling PS3 game of all time.

According to Wikipedia, the sixth best-selling PS one game is Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone - that's my answer.

sorry but you actually shouldn't go to the er if the only symptom you're showing is a cough, even if it's a really bad, dry, consistent one. not sure why people are freaking out here.

you should call a doctor, get tested and self isolate until you get results, which seems to be what rock is doing

playing through suikoden 1 and there's a three hour stretch with several bosses and no save points

I don't believe IV had anything that bad.

yeah calling BS on this

there are definitely stretches with no save points and they do suck but not three hours

goddammit

finally I can stop voting for hateful eight to make sure it beats death proof

While I do think the protest was relatively dumb in Belgium, it would be a bit hypocritical to say that protest would be spreading the virus in comparison to other political protests of the sorts.

The point is it's BERLIN not Belgium.

Also, nice knowing you Corrik!

Yuffie is not meant to be attractive to the player. The writers clearly push the triangle between Cloud/Aeris/Tifa in the original.

Remake is leaning hard into the harem aspect with Jessie and Madame M, so possibly Remake Yuffie and Elena will also be all over Cloud.

Do you think I'm making a mistake doing four characters to Chapter 4 before working on the other four characters?

I suppose I could continue Chapter 2s for the other four characters by just rotating them a bit with Ophelia always being in. I just thought doing two teams would make things less "complicated."

The rest of the board can help me out but if you get one character to chapter 4, does that raise the difficulty of the overworld enemies all over the world map? I honestly don't remember.

no spoilers here, but you're going to want to make sure all 8 of your characters are leveled relatively equally

I don't really belong in this thread but I used to have this until around two years ago, when I sold it for $200. It was my nerdiest possession. (Not my pic btw)

like the idea of remaking SC1 while showing what the SC2-3 characters were up to during that time period is pretty good

but the execution was just not there

Nice to see that pretty soon the rest of the world will be like the U.S.

Jesus christ what is wrong with you Board 8? Who's the troll that keeps voting in Death Proof?

Hollywood is probably his third best film. Django is middle of the pack but didn't deserve to go first.

I didn't like how SC6 was basically a remake of SC1 except not really?

Like I know "lol fighting game stories" but SC was the ONE game series that seemed to get it right

The worst is obviously Diego, followed closely by Allison. I don't get this Luther hate.

hey don't forget Z.W.E.I.

I'm not sure and I'm not sure it matters

I saved every nut (lol) all the way to the secret boss and then dumped them all into each character's most necessary stat (usually defense) and the difference was ultimately negligible

Everyone already knew about the scene, but this argues that it was achieved legitimately

Of course, it would be nice if Chapter 3 would be unlocked and not a short cutscene, but whatever.

It's a lot harder to win multiple college championships because you're in a one-and-done tournament.

Also, even back then, your teammates are more likely to drastically change from year to year in college

I wish them all the best. They seem to be pretty upfront on the "we will get this out in 2-3 years, no Mighty no. 9 nonsense"

I'm with waluigi here. If you have a poll called "Best ____ Game" and don't include any of the consensus picks, you need to retitle your poll. That's just the way it works. If you make a "Best Shin Megami Tensei Game" poll and don't include Nocturne or P3 because you don't like them, then yeah, that's an issue.

Shinjiro and Koromaru (sorry but it's true)

probably should have waited a bit longer (more than just one day 's rest) between 10 mile hikes unless you hike often.

but will this shit with the dementors, even if it's batshit crazy peak KH-nomura--will it piss me off or will it make me laugh my ass off? or is it legitimately interesting/cool

it's literally all three of these at the same time

I mean Tierkreis is decent and overall underrated. I'd say its my favorite after the first two. But yeah saying it's the best in the series is absolutely ludicrous.

I've been to a few of these level 15-20 side regions and only found chests, though there appear to be places for bosses I think. One of them had a monument.

I'm guessing they are side quest relevant, maybe I'm not supposed to be there. I've been getting the chests and leveling at least though.

yeah if you've stumbled upon a dungeon and gotten to the end and found a "boss area" with no boss, you're there a bit too early.

and yes, the game WILL get harder, don't worry...

mostly though it kind of just reminds me of the most recent national album - always pleasant but far too long, and once you get to the second half most of the songs just blend into a vaguely pretty haze

in defense of the last national album, the songs are a lot punchier live and I still think it's overall better than both trouble will find me and sleep well beast (both of which have some killer tracks but are also kinda boring too).

I've never played this series but i've seen it compared to Trials of Cold Steel and Persona.

It's not really like either, lol. It's definitely not like Persona. I guess some story/thematic aspects apply to Cold Steel, but very loosely.

Ehhh, I've been burned by these painfully obvious kickstarter revivals before. Not to mention "spiritual successors" like I am Setsuna. They never recapture the feelings of the original. Best to go for something new.

So I must wonder if when playing these chapters that I should almost pretend the rest of the party does not exist, and only the party member of which the story is about is the only character present.

It's a bit of a conundrum in regards to story telling within this game.

People gave me grief for saying this in my legendary topic "In Defense of Octopath Traveler's Story," but I'll say it again: the game relies on players using their imagination to fill in the gaps here. For some this is a huge, game-breaking weakness. These people say that this is "bad writing" - but I wholeheartedly disagree. It's the writers using the conventions of 16-bit era storytelling to create immersion in a game by asking players to be an active participant in creating a narrative.

Everyone who plays Octopath Traveler, if they so choose, can supply their own narrative to how these characters interact and get along outside of their individually-focused stories. What is actually there - in terms of skits and overarching lore, is enough to provide a foundation on which to build. Again, some people will argue that if you have to "imagine the story yourself" that means there isn't a story there. I see where these people are coming from but I also think this way of storytelling reminds me of some of my favorite gameplay experiences as a child, where games didn't have fully fleshed out narratives and character development: early FF, FF6's World of Ruin, Saga Fronntier, etc.

I dunno, I just disagree. I thought the trailer was pretty hype. I have nothing factual to back that up, but I think it's intriguing.

Primrose is indeed the best OT character/story

I just can't imagine playing DQXI again. Great game but I'm satisfied with my vanilla 120 hour playthrough

Atlus does this all the time though. They did a chair trailer for Persona 5 and didn't show anything else for like four years afterwards.

I thought you were talking about Ney'tiri too

people still going to subway in the middle of a deadly pandemic. you're playing with fire.

People love to complain about this game's story/way it's delivered, but I love it

Poor Udgey.

Very first thought was Velvet Crowe (come at me bros).

but that's definitely me exaggerrating, so I'm going to go with Mack Rell from Ace Attorney Investigations

Nuke the Smash Ultimate board seriously. Most entitled bunch of whiners I've ever seen. Let them die with the streamers/competitive community.

I don't think this trailer is enough to draw a negative conclusion from.

We still have half a year of 2020 left.

also SMTV is getting a worldwide release

according to arti not even Persona gets that.

I can confirm from past experience that this is the case

and in the case of Scramble, it might not get released at all!

ok I take it back, they actually talked about SMTV

Also Nocturne HD.

good stuff

There's not going to be anything cool here.

Which is fine, Nintendo doesn't owe people anything.

Also is it just me or have they not posted an official link to the stream?

Pros:
Mads is superb. Totally nailed the balance between humor and horror.

Scott Thompson in this is so great. One second you're looking at some truly horrific gore, the next you've got one of the kids in the hall making cracks about body parts.

Frederick Chilton consistently having the most horrible and gruesome acts done to him is kind of a running gag and it works.

The cinematography is generally outstanding.

Cons:
Some of this is just way too over the top. Especially in season one, where the show is kind of "figuring itself out." The musician killer and tower of body episodes in particular are just kind of whatever.

Fishburne is a professional and I have no problems with his performance, and I know his character is fulfilling an archetype, but how dumb can you be, seriously?

The first half of season 3 is probably my least favorite section of the show. Again, probably because it feels super over the top insane.

At the time of watching, I thought the S2 finale was excellent. But yes, it was weakened when S3 came around and everyone lived, including Bloom, who was then thrust into a truly ridiculous subplot involving becoming Mason's therapist.

I still want to know how they were able to show a man cutting off his own cheeks to feed to dogs before eating his own nose on primetime network television.

How in the hell did they get away with airing this on network TV?

This show wildly careens from being really good to completely ridiculous. Not sure how I feel about it tbh.
