| Topic | Paper Mario N64 is 20 years old now |
| saspa 02/05/21 1:31:43 PM #7 | Godnorgosh posted... One of the greatest RPGs ever made. Love that game. The design for Bowser's fortress was so intriguing, too. Objectively the best peach's castle/bowser's fortress mayhaps? The only game where every chapter can be considered a favorite. Every time I think hmm which is my favorite chapter, I can't actually choose between the koopa bros, or tubba blubba and ghost mansion, or shy guy's toybox... just a fantastic game all around. --- |

| saspa 02/05/21 11:27:28 AM #57 | With 999 I guess I was more used to the voices "in my head" if that makes sense so I didn't bother listening to the voice acting for the vita collection after the first few min. With VLR it's a fresh start so I was more willing to give it a chance and ultimately I've ended up liking the va so far. There's actual nuance and proper delivery given, which is a nice surprise because I wasn't sure if these small studios could afford good va. Especially for localization. --- |

| saspa 02/03/21 3:36:32 AM #9 | I mean first off the show really struck a cord with me at how it displays mental illness and the struggles that Rebecca goes through and I can see why it struggled with the ratings, doubt anyone wanted to watch that kind of rawness. I do appreciate how it shows Rebecca trying to cope and try to do better, even as she falls into old habits, Was really not expecting for them to bring Greg back and do a love quadrilateral with all 3 guys. --- |

Grandia 2 is really underrated and a lot of the bad rap it got was due to having a poor ps2 port I don't know of any bad rap, but so far most of my complaints are port related and performance related. If the game itself gets bad later that's another story, but so far I daresay I'm enjoying it more than the first Grandia. Characters: Likable Banter: surprisingly fun Endearing moments: yes And there are little things here and there I personally enjoy in a jrpg mechanics wise and world related --- |

| saspa 02/02/21 12:28:04 PM #1 | They replaced Greg's actor? Omg why. Even the 4th wall jokes about Greg looking different aren't enough to soften the blow. Huh, the new Greg actor is called Skylar Astin, and he's also a love interest in the new show Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist, so I guess there's just something about him that screams romcom love interest. And to add to the coincidence, both shows feature musical numbers as part of the show so that makes sense. Anyway been watching the show the past 2 months and excited to see what direction season 4 will end the series on. --- |

| Topic | Should I play Xenosaga 2? |
| saspa 02/02/21 11:12:39 AM #2 | With the battle system there's literally one way and one way only to win, which involves a method I currently can't remember but involves momo, who is somehow like the strongest character in that game. Junior is also good. And honestly? It's okay. All the faults I have with it are present in all 3 of the xenosaga games. And the good is that it involves junior/albedo backstory which I thought was really good since I actually like junior and albedo is low key one of the more underrated jrpg villains. So yeah, I'd recommend playing just to experience what the xenosaga trilogy in its entirety has to offer, good and bad (mostly bad, I'd say 70-30) Sidenote, when you reach a section of the game where you're controlling shion and she's by herself, it's a great opportunity to grind and level up since all the enemies are weak to her electricity and your party will match shion's level. You won't get another chance like that. --- |

| saspa 02/02/21 5:44:26 AM #43 | On the other hand I've solved more puzzles by guessing than I was expecting to, it's seriously hilarious. The puzzle with the "hydroponic" fluid or whatever with 5 different colors and levers with 80, 40, 40: I still have literally no idea how to solve it. I literally just moved some levers around at random and pushed the button, got it on the 11th try and saved immediately. I like thinking that I'm genre savvy enough to know which way a puzzle is supposed to go. The garden is another one I solved before I was "supposed" to by clicking the correct order of buttons. But otherwise yeah I've encountered what I feel is some real bullshit. Like the treatment center puzzle with the h/m "board game" and a couple others. Or when I miss an object in a muddy textured area because despite the fact that I clicked on that specific area, the game didn't register the click so I miss an important part to solve the puzzle. I usually catch it but missed it in the library which annoyed the crap out of me. --- |

| saspa 02/01/21 6:30:10 AM #9 | spikethedevil posted... Batman vs Mr Freeze Sub Zero. I watched my fair share of this movie because my kid brother always had it on, but I always disliked it, specifically the fact that barbara gordon was a damsel in distress the entire movie and never once put on the suit. I really wanted to see her in the suit. It felt like a giant tease the entire movie. It also felt like an animated attempt at the 1997 movie batman and robin with the whole mr freeze angle and nora, with barbara being the one who has the ultra rare blood type, etc. --- |

If it were 3x faster and you could skip those longass spell animations, maybe. But then, wouldn't it be better to just have a straight up action rpg? I'm liking the battles so far even with said slowdown, although I keep wondering what the hell determines the battle order every time a battle starts? It seems completely random which of my party members goes first which is very frustrating. --- |
