Are you defending FFX2 and chrono cross

If so I have some bad news for you, man.

I'll defend X-2 because it plays good and say Chrono Cross wasn't that bad. It's just bloated and fucks up beloved characters in one of the greatest RPGs ever, but it's not objectively bad.

Anyway, are you guys HYPE FOR CAPCOM CUP

Those are some PS2-level graphics, drat. The undershirt doesn't even look textured, it just looks like a matte black.

Man, is nostalgia milking so ingrained in corporate video game production that all lovely looking games have to look like PS2-era models?

yes it was my nostalgia for the sega saturn that made me say this game looks like dog poo poo

I want a rpg that doesn't take itself to seriously, like it's full of slapstick humor like maybe one of the characters loves sports like a lot, to the point where if he see's the ball or whatever he's just compelled to kick it. Bonus points if something wacky happens like the ball is a bomb and it blows the main characters head off

I hate super wacky games. You need a balance of moods, or it becomes super boring like Fairy Fencer F which it was 200% snark which got old in an hour.

How many episodes will ffx go for? I'm wagering 50+ unless there's a lot of cuts

There's no way it's going be around 50. Probably looking at 70+. The tipping forties took like 60 at around 30 minutes a video.

Was joking about the FFX novel that was put out, go figure there would be a actual game that kinda fits that.


I cannot believe there's a official FFX novel that features Tidus kicking a bomb that's painted like a blitzball and blowing his own head off for Yuna to catch. It's great.

Something I hear often these days is that it's a cardinal sin for something that's mostly comedic to try and up the stakes and be serious. I suppose mood whiplash can happen as a result of poor execution but is there good examples of this?

Seconding Undertale, which has a massive emotional range. Outside of video games I'd recommend JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, both in general and for this specifically. I never thought a series with a character named R.E.O. Speedwagon would make me cry big man-tears.

They should really LP the base game. Off-shoots of games are really weird unless they're completely unrelated like Blood Dragon.

It's really amazing how the WWE games seem to get worse and worse as time goes on. I think the only real reason anyone buys the games anymore is just to mess with the create-a-rustler mode. What the hell, why make it a "simulation game" if the real thing is a simulation already? Fast-paced crazy action is where it's at. But then again if they made the games too good it would make the show look bad.
