Yeah that's the classic one. I've had good success making more advanced mafia games irl using phones though.

Congratulations!

Kirby can do Smash for sure, see how many sign up

Reminder that you can skip the entire queue for Always Sunny

Nah, boosted a great bit. Snake 2013 breaks 45% on Link (wonky year to be fair), while he barely gets 35% in the early contests.

Also while Drake is a good answer, with some more consideration, it might just be Pikachu.

Solid Snake comes to mind.

I always vote for Kirby in these because I like to play as him the most.

I like Pokemon Pinball Ruby and Sapphire

Space Cadet not being on here is a huge omission though.

Come a few more, now that you're all available.

"Miniseries" didn't have me thinking you meant a length most anime fit into.

So now you can all sign up for this right

Very lovely pic

I am part Argentinian (though very little and I only ever am reminded when football) so it has to be the 2022 one lol.

You mean past post-Water 7. Definitely need to be that far unless you don't care at all about spoilers/ever watching the main series.

That movie is "What if Drum Island came after the crew left Water 7".

Oh yeah, yes, that.

Episode of chopper if you've read/seen One Piece past the arc of Chopper's inteoduction in the series.

High School of the Dead is pretty good although fanservice hurts it a bit.

Deadman Wonderland is alright, not that great.

That is all I have seen.

@Cody11533 how about this one
@Lea you're playing something else right?

@UnderUrMattress I summon you once more

If you're playing Triple Triad to get all the cards you're done it wrong

Seriously though I just really enjoy it and it's not even thst tedious

Chris comes back here to play a single day of mafia and then pulls our playerbase here and there.

the beginnings to these games are always so painfully slow.

Mario humming the SMB1 theme in the bath is a top tier moment though.

@PunishedBen it is time

The game always seems to default to learning the worst gf abilities first as well. Yeah we totally need that GFHP10% as a priority _

Yeah, you definitely wanna check those manually lol.

pjbasis posted...

You're definitely gonna need a guide for the treasures for anything past 1. They all have missable stuff

Yeah I got a chance to look it up further, I don't think there's any chance I get this naturally lol, so having played them all before I probably just find a guide for missables to keep an eye on.

I don't even think unnecessary is the best word to say what I was trying to say lol. I was just trying to recall what was needed for the game to become what I determine a too difficult for what's fun. But yeah, it's a bit weird to get a defensive answer when at no point did I try to criticize anything about the game (though I have stated why I understand how the system is not for everyone).

pjbasis posted...

? His point A is basically only fulfilled if you don't junction at all. I saw someone get to the end of disc 3 with like no junctions and 3GFs. This might be the actual case where leveling hurts you

That might also be it. I recalled it as that if you level through the game without stat ups (I think you can junction some), then grind a decent bit past where you'd naturally be just playing through the game, the the endgame is gonna be hard to a point where it's not fun. That's what I called unnecessary hard.

pjbasis posted...

Maybe my greater meaning though is that encounters are genuinely useful, but more importantly, fun imo! Turning off encounters for the rest of the game sounds like getting the minimum amount of stars in a Mario game to beat it. Just skipping content!

I respectfully disagree, I actually think trying to get to endgame without ever leveling is a fun challenge for a playthrough in itself. I really like this game and a decent part of that is that it has a system that I find fun to see how you optimize the most, which turns out to be done by not leveling ever. It's not that those additional stat ups you will end up having makes a big difference, but I like having made my characters as good as possible regardless and it's fun being all nerdy about mechanics like the junction system.

pjbasis posted...

Yeah when people say something is unnecessary/useless it's just wrong because everything is a valid path to clearing the game! Even gf spam!

Spending time grinding without stat ups just to make it harder for yourself by the end? No that's definitely unnecessary. Doesn't mean it's not a valid path though, unnecessary and useless are not the same thing, so I'm sure why you're saying it's wrong.

KanzarisKelshen posted...

More specifically, leveling is counterproductive if two things are true (and both must be true):

A) You're not junctioning aggressively and chasing down strong magics.

B) You don't have the Stat Up abilities, which makes leveling pure upside.

If either one is true, level all the way, it's worth it. Higher level makes it so you get stronger junctions so you stay very well ahead of the power curve, too. There IS merit to staying at base level for disc 1 and a chunk of 2 just to minmax, but it's wholly unnecessary.

This is mostly right. Would not say it's worth it but it's true it's not an issue if either is true. IIRC if you don't use stat up stuff at all and grind too much, you're making things unnecessarily hard for you by the end regardless of junctions. But you don't need to level up at all to get the good stuff anyway, because it can be done through cards (you can also do the Seifer trick for some, but that's tedious).

Therefore when I play, I like to just not think about it but then still use no encounter from Diablos once you get that. I tend to have all the good stuff because I really like Triple Triad and when you first get to it there are no bad rules around.

My memory of these are not all perfect, but they all seem pretty doable. A bit grindy but that's not a big deal imo. All chests is fine but I think some are missable so that's probably the most annoying stuff.

I think the idea that a character whose main gimmick is bad grammer is funniest for below 7 year olds is weird. I understand not enjoying him (I think he's great, as most do) but yeah, it's not a matter of age I feel.

RikkuAlmighty posted...

Oh theres a 3ds version.

should i be playing that instead?

Some late boss battles are changed a bit (for the worse imo) but they're almost identical so just continue with the GBA version. It's a good game yeah! The series is all great except Paper Jam which is fine but not as good.

In

Is Ganondorf beating good characters better or worse than some Pokemon going rampage?

Game is much more about character dynamics and chemistry than whatever else is going on. As a result it doesn't have a top tier moment like most other FF but I find it enjoyable the whole way through. They're all decent at worst.

Junction system is pretty hit or miss. It's breakable as f*** so obviously flawed but the idea is fun.

Triple Triad is probably the most enjoyable FF minigame to date, which says a lot about the others, but it's quite fun until some terrible rule spreads.

I had Hoth Dogs once.

As much as I'd like to see Squall do well, Snake is among the few where I'd never consider voting Squall.

Yeah, it's effectively the same as not using it since you were prevented from using it. If you were successful but vig shot is save by doctor or something, then that's something else.

@Sheep007 how about World Cup mafia?

"Aged well" doesn't really have a clear cut definition. I agree with a lot of Lopen's points.

People seem to get borderline offended when it's suggested that RE4 has not aged well and it's a matter of perspective maybe, but I think the best definition is if if you try to imagine the exact same game coming out today except for updated graphics, would people enjoy it to the same extend? I don't think RE4 would, for example, the gameplay works as well as it ever did, but it's not very modern and I think it'd throw a lot of people off if they played it for the first time today. I haven't played the remake yet, but I supported releasing it again to get newer audiences into it using more modern gameplay.

Most early shooters or 3d games in general has by this definition aged pretty bad because it has evolved so much since then that it can be hard going back to.

I'm glad most people seemed to have fun and thought the setup was fine for what was intended. I have not hosted on this site before so that's nice going forward to whenever it's my turn again in 2025 or whatever.

ctesjbuvf- Purple Monkey Dishwasher Mafia( or did This past game take its spot?)

I'm willing to try making it work at some point again, but it seems reasonable enough it took its place in queue so it can be moved down.

wallmasterz posted...

Oh yeah, ctes, you were intentionally shy about tie scenarios. What was up with that? Doesnt it work the same as always where a scum team wins once it controls the lynch?

Yeah, but it's a little bit more tricky with two teams. You could theoretically tie with the other scum team but it also depended on what roles would be left at that point. Some ties Mishima wins, some G Corp wins, some would be a tie. I thought it was better to state as little as possible.

Peace___Frog posted...

Oh sure. I don't dispute that at all. Town played extremely well and scum got themselves into a very difficult position. My comment is only that having one conditional Strongman with that much protection really limited our options at night.

Ironically no protection was on Lopen that night.

But you really nailed night 1, you discussed three people and the two you didn't shoot were targeted by Corrik and Plum. Then stole the cop result. N1 could've only gone better for you if you hit power I think.

Well, it was not written out in the rules I copy pasted, I added it, and I've seen it done before since coming back here.

But obviously we agree
