Life. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate life since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for life at this micro-instant.

yes. there's also a PETZ DOGS 2 version which is the same thing as catz 2 except all the characters are dogs (or dogz i guess)

He is similar to Malefor, The Legend of Spyro antagonist, as they both trick the hero into going into their lair, and also being "pure-evil" and they have strong distorted voices, but the only difference is that one of them was once sealed away & the other was once locked in prison.
Ivlet's first purple-form is based off of the Power Rangers: Jungle Fury's purple wolf zord.

:words:

It is probably one of the most memorable things that ever happened in video games for me, lol.

I got to the end late at night and figured I'd stretch it and try to beat it. I guessed I was supposed to use the "prayer" command but there's a point where it tells you it does nothing and I figured "Okay, now I have to beat him the regular way," so I tried and tried and kept getting slaughtered. For over an hour I tried and re-tried, and it was into the wee hours of the morning and I was starting to get loopy. I took a break. I was talking to an ex girlfriend over AIM at the time and things were kind of intense and on edge. We hadn't talked in two years and had just started sort of reconciling, I was dating another ex, which she was inexplicably really angry about, and my roommate and I were parting ways, mostly over how tired he was of me and my ex-girlfriend drama, which she was felt responsible for. Something was glitched on her AIM, unknown to me, that caused her to just repeat the same IM over and over again, erasing whatever she had actually written. So at like 3 AM, I got four messages, spaced about a minute apart that was just this (with my real name):

Bicyclops...
Bicyclops...
Bicyclops...
I'm so cold.

I was going through so much poo poo at the time and it was so late at night, I almost started to think that the game had gotten real, and there wasn't a prayer in the world that could save me.

I think the reception can be drastically changed if you know the trick ahead of time or if you try to tackle it like a normal boss until making a desperation move. My case was the later and I think it was a great way to end the game.

Is the "trick" to pray? Because that's what I did, Porky practically spells it out for you.

Giygas never really worked for me either. EarthBound in general is not a game I like a whole lot but Mother 3 basically is closer to the game I would want it to be anyways so oh well.

I thought the final battle of Mother 3 was pretty underwhelming, like I beat it and then I was expecting for the actual final dungeon to open up but instead the game just ended.

I think one of my personal favorite JRPG finales was Skies of Arcadia, Ramirez himself was just a lame Sephiroth wanna-be but the lead up to him was cool because the first real dungeon in the game is you fighting through ruins full of corroded, barely-functioning machines and then the final dungeon is you seeing them shiny and new at peak fighting capacity.

The final boss of Persona 5 felt like a real chump compared to the ones in 3 and 4; at the very least, the fight seemed substantially shorter.

Say what you will about Kingdom Hearts, the final battle in two was amazingly nutso in the best possible way. Like, you fight an entire living city/spaceship with some shmup sequences to break up the final boss' zillion different forms/costume changes and then at the end you have to deflect ten thousand lasers to survive. It takes a half hour to play through even if you're fully prepared and you're basically breaking the controller by the end of it.

I liked Mother 3 a lot, and like it more having some space from it, but it felt more like it was trying to be intensely depressing, disturbing and weird from the get-go, whereas with Earthbound, it was always weird, but the disturbing and depressing stuff kind of sneaked up on you, which was made it so effective.
