KH cast is good. Great even.

Noooo no no nooooooo. Sora/Kiari/Riku are insufferable. We're lucky to have FF and Disney characters to offset them.

Leonhart4 posted...

I would not play a story driven game if the story is bad and the gameplay is "fine"

Fine, enjoyable, fun, whatever you want to call it.

KH 1/2/CoM are fun despite the horrendous original cast and cheesy, convoluted storylines.

Two years, and the best they can come up with is Commanders? What a terrible name. We'll get used to it in about 5 years time. But it's still dumb.

Yep, mega-generic. Sounds like one of the team names in All Pro Football 2K8

Damn I wanted Red Wolves or Feral Hogs/Warthogs

Hogs would've been perfect for the fanbase. Red Wolves would've been badass. Commanders...hahaha and the logo couldn't be lamer

Experiencing the Best Kingdom Hearts story is like saying you contracted the Best Ebola Strain

I don't get the people who played several KH games, hating them all.

The gameplay is fine. The stories are awful.

Likely a pricing error, so grab it quick if you're interested

For the longest time I was a Brady-hater, ngl. But it was that NE/ATL Superbowl that made me realize how great he was, and ever since then I thought he was def. the GOAT.

That Super Bowl was all about Atlanta imploding. Brady gets far too much credit for that comeback.

2/10

Haven't played it since 2005, so my memory is shaky, but I remember hating the Organization XIII parts. Hell, I hated the story in KH1, and CoM did nothing to win me over.

It doesn't check all of your arbitrary boxes, but Donkey Kong is about love/rescuing your loved one.

My first thought as well

9/10

Wow, great timing. I recently started Devil Survivor Overclocked. Absolutely love the story's pacing, characters, and scenario. Based on what I've played, let's go with a 9/10. If I change my mind upon completing it, I'll revise my score.

Devil Survivor is fun as hell btw. If you're a SMT/Persona fan who hasn't played it, you need to.

Burrow, and this isn't even close. Cannot believe how poised he manages to be behind that shaky O-line.

7.5/10

Everyone shits on the plot twist toward the end, but it didn't bother me when I played it in 2006.

Overall a decent JRPG story with a few solid characters. It held my interest through its 70-hour runtime, and I never had to force myself to finish it like with other JRPGs of that length (I'm looking at you, Xenoblade 2). For what it's worth, I found SO3's story far more enjoyable than SO2.

Leonhart4 posted...

Remember when Heroic Mario thought Star Ocean was going to beat Pokemon in the Series Contest? Good times.

I still can't believe Metroid beat Pokemon back then. Wild times.

Fayt Leingod for stupidest JRPG protagonist name. Yes, it is worse than stuff of legends like Asbel, Edge and Jude Maverick, Duran chips and Benjamin.

Racking my brain to come up with something worse, but I think you're right. "Fayt" is so on-the-nose that it's cringey.

WarThaNemesis2 posted...

A bunch of the cast being optional meant some characters you spent the first half of the game getting attached to did basically nothing for the second half, and that drags everything down into a spiral.

This is a good point. Albel Nox and Nel are the Vincent and Yuffie of SO3.

99% sure you can reenter your choices on a new console.

S2 and S4 are totally worth it btw.

The PS4 remake? Good to know

Censorship sucks. Period.

Book bannings, cancel culture, it all needs to go to hell.

So what's the best place to start with the Mana games?

I have Sword of Mana for GBA and Collection of Mana for Switch, but I haven't played any yet.

Resident Evil Village
Deathloop
Axiom Verge 2

Vercetti easily

Ba bump

$750 for finishing 3rd in a regional short story contest

I signed up on the day of Spyro Morrigan.

Wow, it's been almost 20 years for me too.

Haven't played because every time someone tells me to play this game, someone else tells me, "Nah, it's boring as hell."

Couldn't stomach this one/10

Despite being a huge Soulsborne fan.

Then maybe it's for me, after all!

Bought Code Vein for $10 a couple Black Fridays ago.

I generally dislike 3D SoulsBorne games due to the clunky combat. Any chance I like this one?

Here's my guess for my Top 5.

1. Ys IX: Monstrum Nox - 40 hours
2. The House in Fata Morgana - 30 hours
3. Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition - 25 hours
4. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim - 25 hours
5. The Last of Us Part II - 25 hours

Haha I was close...

damn could you imagine Tifa's strength if there was a contest going right now

Would like to see her against Crono (probably a win), Sonic (probably a loss due to the movies), and Zelda (probably a close loss)

I'd be interested in seeing how strong Aerith is as well.

I desperately wanted to play this when it got announced, then all the reviews were like, "Nah, it's crap."

Perhaps the biggest shocker of the weekend is learning Andy Reid was capable of saying something this cool

He should've said that to McNabb two decades ago.

FFDragon posted...

If that means Lamar gets to sneak through one time to win one, I'll allow it.

We're still on track for a one a decade average!

AFC is unbelievably loaded with good young QBs. Mahomes, Allen, Lamar, Burrow, Herbert... unreal.

Now if only Trevor Lawrence can get the right coach and supporting cast...

Is Mahomes vs Allen the new Mario vs. Crono?

If they change the NFL OT rules, I'm for "each team possesses the ball at least once." Both offenses and defenses should see the field regardless of whether a TD is scored.

I don't disagree with the idea of this, but the winner in a game like yesterday will still be "whoever wins the coin toss".

I see what you're saying, but it could open up strategies involving 2-pt conversions. If the Chiefs score first, do they kick the XP or go for two? If they miss the two, Buffalo needs TD+XP to win. If the Chiefs kick the XP, Buffalo can score a TD and go for two to win it (or miss the 2-pt and Chiefs win).

Not sure that this would best way of doing OT, but it would add drama.

I'd rather see the team that ties up the score at the end have to kick off. It's just weird that the Bills had to defend two drives without their offense being able to get on the field.

The issue here is that not all end-of-regulation ties happen on the last play of the game.

FFDragon posted...

I agree, usually, but we also got that great Tebow crushing the Steelers moment which always makes me happy remembering

Hahahah classic.

Seanchan posted...

And how is that any better than: Bills get a chance to match, trot down the field and score. Chiefs get the ball back in TRUE SUDDEN DEATH, trot down the field again and score? I mean, the 2nd time they would only need a FG to win it, right?

At a certain point, the people asking for both teams to possess would cause the game to inevitably evolve into the college OT rules. And that includes the no kickoffs and shortened fields because the strain on the players bodies would be too much.

Bills/Chiefs with college OT rules would've been electrifying at the rate both QBs were playing. Not saying college OT rules are the answer, but imagine that duel going back and forth on short fields.

If they change the NFL OT rules, I'm for "each team possesses the ball at least once." Both offenses and defenses should see the field regardless of whether a TD is scored.

I've said it once and I'll say it again. If you can't play D, you don't deserve to win.

Chiefs didn't win because of their defense. C'mon now.

Mahomes threw for 188 yards after the two minute warning lmao wtf

Jags fan here. Trevor Lawrence passed for 213.6 yards per game this season.

Leonhart4 posted...

Also no matter how many times the NFL changes the overtime rules, fans will be complaining about the overtime rules the very next year

The problem I had with last night's ending (and Pats/Chiefs 2018 and the Falcons/Pats Super Bowl) is that the OT period was such an anticlimax. Chiefs trotted downfield and won. Yawn.

colliding posted...

So season's basically over and I'm officially just in it for the memes now. There is no more interesting football to be played. The rest are blowouts.

The niners have no chance with Jimmy G. The Rams aren't reliable either. Best we can hope for is a comedy of errors. But probably the Rams win easily.

The Bengals are everyone's favorite team remaining but they're running into a buzzsaw. The Bengals are still like two years early for where they actually are. You could say they're playing with house money, but realistically they get demolished.

Chiefs also demolish Rams. They couldn't finish off Tom Brady and no one else; they're not going to keep up. At least Stafford gets to go to a SB.

bring on the commercials

I wouldn't count on next week's games being blowouts (I could see each being a one-score game), but I'm 99% certain we're getting Chiefs/Rams.

Ever since Goodell took over as commish in 2006, the Super Bowl has always been "marketable" in terms of the players and teams that participate. AFC QBs are always household names like Brady, Manning, Ben, and Mahomes (the one exception being Flacco in 2012, which had the "Harbaugh Bowl" appeal). With the NFC teams you sometimes get an underdog story like the '08 Cardinals or the '17 Eagles, but on the other hand you also have the travesty that was the 2018 NFC Champ game, which shafted the 50th-ranked TV market (Saints) in favor of the 2nd-ranked TV market (Rams). The NFL desperately wants to grow in the LA area, so if the 49ers play well on Sunday, expect the refs to help LA at the end.

Bottom line: The NFL wants a sexy matchup. They want casual fans to get excited about the game. They want to expand their market. They want to charge out the ass for SB ads. And unless Mahomes or Stafford suffers a brutal injury, we're getting Chiefs/Rams.

As for the Chiefs/Rams game itself, I'd pick the Rams to win that game because of their defensive front.

AxemRedRanger posted...

In summary, this game does not fuck like a tiger, does not DWELL AMIDST THE ABOUNDING LIGHT OF HEAVEN, and would probably be improved if its backstory really did involve an ancient marsupial-themed conflict.

Hahahah haven't played, but I'm well aware of these references.

Kinda wish I picked up ToP when I saw the GBA version on clearance at Circuit City back in 2006.

never played a fighting game huh

My fighting game experience is limited to Smash Bros and Soul Calibur II.

If Link ain't in it, I won't touch it.

Today I learned that Arena and Arena Ultimax are separate things.

Sorry man. If you'd like to try and push yourself, it doesn't look like it's gonna take much longer than a couple hours but if not I understand.

Hope you do another of these in March after the clocks jump forward. I stay on the same sleep schedule year-round.

Here's my guess for my Top 5.

1. Ys IX: Monstrum Nox - 40 hours
2. The House in Fata Morgana - 30 hours
3. Horizon Zero Dawn: Complete Edition - 25 hours
4. 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim - 25 hours
5. The Last of Us Part II - 25 hours

This worked for me after 2019 but not this year. Strange
