TsunamiXXVIII 12/21/18 12:36:05 PM #162:	trdl23 posted... Logience posted... Except isnt Golden Sun just, well...shit? Nope. The Lost Age is still among my favorite RPGs. Same. It's by no means perfect, but much like Pokmon RBY, its imperfections are charming. (By which I mean the fact that its RNG is mad exploitable, allowing for there to be tutorials on guaranteeing yourself rare drops. Man that's fun.) The only real complaint I have about the first two games is that they are two games and not one. It's exactly the type of money-grubbing that Ulti always rails against. The third game was a disappointment, because it has a stupidly hard difficulty spike, a stupidly easy way to overlevel for the bonus bosses right in front of the final boss's fight, and points of no return, which the first two games pointedly lacked. To illustrate the importance of being able to backtrack to any point in the game, I actually found myself unable to reach the Dullahan fight on my first Lost Age save file, despite having Broken Seal transfer data. Do you know why that was? It was because I originally got stumped by the ~~invisible floor~~ puzzle at the end of Fuchin Temple, and instead used trial-and-error to stumble through Mogall Forest. And the Orb of Force is entirely optional in Broken Seal, or even to getting all 28 Djinn in that game, but failure to transfer it over to Lost Age will screw you out of at least one Djinni. I made sure to take my Broken Seal save file and backtrack to get the Orb of Force rather than starting a brand new game.

(By which I mean the fact that its RNG is mad exploitable, allowing for there to be tutorials on guaranteeing yourself rare drops. Man that's fun.) You ever seen Quovaks Golden Sun LP? Nope. I'll have to check it out. I know that the first game is very easy to sequence break; I managed a couple entirely accidentally on my first playthrough. (Imil before Kolima, skipping the Orb of Force entirely). Actually so is the second, to the point that I'm still not sure if there is any agreement on what the intended route through Osenia is. I'll summarize the cases for each side. Clockwise: Madra, the last town you encounter on Indra, contains hints toward Alhafra, the first town you reach when going clockwise. The only collectible in Mikasalla requires the Scoop Psyenergy, which is obtained in the Yampi Desert only along the path to Alhafra. The route to Air's Rock and Garoh through Yampi Desert is one-way until you obtain the Sand Psyenergy, which isn't until much later, so you'd have to double back regardless rather than making a single loop if you started the other way. Counterclockwise: Other than that one Djinni, Mikasalla mostly just contains story hints towards Garoh, which in turn points you towards Air's Rock. Going clockwise, you'd encounter Garoh before the former and after the latter. The level curve seems to support doing Air's Rock before Yampi Desert and Alhafra. My conclusion: Neither is the "right" route. It was designed for either route to be viable; the game points you towards one route but rewards you for exploring and finding the other. --- Wait, I really left BKSheikah in my sig all the way until Advokaiser dethroned him as reigning Guru champion?

Nanis23 12/21/18 1:20:52 PM #170:	I will admit Golden Sun and The Lost Age are one of the very first RPGs I have ever played (Pokemon aside) I know there is a common saying (at least in /v/) "baby's first RPG" and it usually applies to Golden Sun, and I know some people might think it's nostalgia, but I disagree. I don't think my love for the Golden Sun series is because of nostalgia or because it's one of my first RPGs The thing is, Golden Sun has something that other RPGs I have played lacked, and it alone sets a standard that other games I played after it failed to meet - puzzles in dungeons When I played Final Fantasy I on the GBA, thinking about how it was "the most popular RPG series ever" I was so disappointed by how boring the dungeons are, but it's the first game, maybe it gets better, right? Well, it NEVER got better, the Final Fantasy games barely have dungeons with puzzles, but those games make up to it in other ways, so I like them a lot too But Golden Sun puzzles are fantastic. The dungeons are not just "go from point A to point B". They have unique designs and every dungeon has it's own unique puzzles with different psynergy use You can complain about whatever you want regarding Golden Sun, about too much text, bad battle system, whatever, but if you say something bad about the dungeons I think I need to question your gaming opinions --- wololo <cite>Nanis23 posted [p:914502829] in ~*Ultimate...

Golden Sun, yeah, but Phoenix Wright and Pokemon are pretty god damn loved on SA.

And the Pokemon LP ban was initially because it invited a lot of low-effort fodder LPs, but it's been gone for a couple years now and Pokemon LPs are as popular as ever, especially the fan games like Reborn.

I would bet good money I'm one of the few people who mainly likes Lucina for how insanely cool she was in Fire Emblem Awakening instead of her Smash appearances, but who knows. She's okay in Smash, but she is a damn legend in Awakening. Top 5 series character for sure. Unfortunately she was against Auron, who does the brooding swordsman turned softy routine much better than she ever could and comes from a far more popular game. It does seem like Lucina gets more of her strength from Fire Emblem than from Smash right now based on the registered/anonymous user results. Auron got 65.37% with registered users and 65.57% with anonymous users. Nintendo is generally quite strong with registered users and Final Fantasy does better with anonymous users, but Lucina struggled just to do better with registered users here.

A lot of insiders were harassed especially when they couldn't debunk it, only giving vague "trust us guys" answers. As everyone knows by know.

It was the lowest of that contest: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/poll/2433-mushroom-division-round-1-super-mario-bros-vs-madden-nfl In the Summer 2006 Contest, Carmen Sandiego only scored 16578 votes in a poll.

The winners, in order: Mega Man, Link, a Zelda game, Solid Snake, Ganondorf, Samus, the Mario series, Zelda, Mario, Link + Ganon, and a Zelda game. Snake is the only odd one out, and his Tanner match was pretty blatant SFF on top of Snake himself bending the knee to Nintendo.

Ulti_PCA 12/22/18 6:17:57 PM #196:	Everyone knows the story of the 2013 contest by now. Draven escaped round one with a late rally, caught fire in round 2, and then it was a shitstorm. We don't need to revisit how embarrassing Board 8 and the League subreddit both acted, though anyone on Board 8 who acts like B8 wasn't just as bad as them is being intellectually dishonest. You all acted like garbage. Anyway Draven won the contest, which we all know by now. People knew Draven would be weaker this time, but no one saw this insanity coming. Amaterasu scored something like the first 70 votes of the poll, and before long people realized Draven was about to pay, big time, for what he did in 2013. The crazy thing is Amaterasu never stopped going up and never lost percentage. There would be no rallies. There would be no miracles. Just Amaterasu of all characters scoring the biggest blowout of the contest. By pure votes one on one, Draven and his 3439 votes were the lowest we've ever seen in a 1v1 poll. Ever. Only the failure of Blizzard even comes close, but here's the thing. Amaterasu did this. Can you imagine if Draven was up against a universally loved character or game instead of a mediocre contest entrant like Amaterasu? How many votes does Draven get here against Zelda, Mega Man, Solid Snake, or Chrono Trigger? 1500? Maybe 2000? It can't actually be overstated how nuts this blowout was, and it shouldn't be a footnote in contest history just because it happened during the dead era on our web site. I've alluded to this match several times in the PCA so far, but rallybait characters got destroyed in this contest and Draven himself ate the biggest blowout of them all. It's a fitting punishment for 2013, and I say this as someone who supports rallies. There was one more rallybait character to get rid of, but this match showed us we had nothing to worry about. D.Va wasn't going to pull off a damn thing this year. Not in this environment. It's also really hilarious to see Amaterasu up there with the likes of Nintendo elite in our record books. It shows just how badly people wanted Draven to get his ass whipped. Hell before this match, only Mega Man X had broken 80% in a poll. Amaterasu beat that by 8%. That's just nuts. It leads to the obvious question: Can a rally ever happen again on our site? I think so, but this just wasn't the year for it. Simple as that. --- https://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page CONGRATS ADVOKAISER!!! <cite>Ulti_PCA posted [p:914563836] in ~*Ultimate...

Ulti_PCA 12/22/18 7:01:25 PM #200:	Division 8 Round 1: (4)Lara Croft vs (13)Metal Man (4)Lara Croft - 19706 [67.89%] (13)Metal Man - 9319 [32.11%] Total Votes - 29025 Prediction Percentage - 89.46% Hopefully HaRRicH and I can make up one day, because his topics and his rallies are always super fun. The cause celebre this year was for Metal Man, which was pretty hilarious because who knows if some random robot master from 1988 (christ I'm old, I remember when Mega Man 2 came out) would even be eligible. Turns out he was! This match was never intended to actually be a match, it was just a nod from Allen to Board 8 for a job well done over the years. None of us had any delusions of Metal Man actually winning this match, and it's hard to really look at what Lara did here as anything impressive. Congrats, you got 68% on a mid boss that no one actually cares about, who is so awful that he's weak against his own weapon. I'm convinced 90% of the people who voted for Metal Man in this match did so because Mega Man in Smash Bros uses the metal blades as one of the B moves. The other 10% probably voted for him because of how hilariously absurd the metal blades actually are in Mega Man 2. You could do an ESPN 30 For 30 about just how much they utterly break the game. I do know that no one actually gives a crap about Lara Croft anymore. She won this match by default. It's as simple as that. Her glory years were back in the 90s and with Square now publishing the Tomb Raider games, the brand is radioactive. One of the only things worse would be "Blizzard" or "Electronic Arts" on the box. We would see proof of this in round two soon enough. --- https://board8.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page CONGRATS ADVOKAISER!!! <cite>Ulti_PCA posted [p:914565690] in ~*Ultimate...
