Wait, so they tried to use his own personal debt as leverage to pay him for a really restrictive contract and NDA? Fuckers.

EA Sports posted:aside from bad dialogue pacing and having a typically nonsensical jrpg story, golden sun games are actually pretty good. it mostly suffers from its audience being part of a massive hegemon of final fantasy seven tween fans collectively outgrowing jrpgs around the same time. i only played dark dawn for the first time last year and enjoyed it over almost every snes jrpg, including all the final fantasys. I didn't think it was as good as the old ones, but i find most jrpgs near unplayable nowadays anyhow. I never played FF7 and still think the Golden Sun games are incredibly mediocre so your theory is really flawed. Also having bad dialogue pacing in a game with a massive amount of dialogue is pretty loving bad!

i'm not sure how you can hate the pacing in snes jrpgs and think golden sun is better, let alone better than modern jrpgs that all generally move way faster it's not that people played golden sun when they were growing out of jrpgs, it's true that a lot of people left their experience with the genre in the psx/early ps2 era (which is why you see a lot of people suggesting ways to improve the genre that have already been done by games within the last five years lol) but golden sun was already just pretty dated when it first came out that of course means it's aged like hot moldy rear end now The Colonel fucked around with this message at 09:27 on May 2, 2018 |

Oh yeah, I tried going back to Golden Sun 2 (I remembered liking the first one) awhile before the DS one came out and crashed on it hard (I remember it was after the part people complain about but I'm blanking on it. Was it the desert?). Then a year or so later I tried the DS one and I think I only made it through the first act. Woof.

tbh even with ff7's janky translation it has like. way better writing than golden sun lol. it gets really goofy but it at least has a sense of humor and a good feel for keeping stuff moving forward, there are some slow bits but there's memorable characterization and its big moments are genuinely strong

let's consider the worlds most divisive rpg ever made to highlight the taste differences that can be at play here. Dragon warrior 7 is a masterclass in its genre, selling well over four million copies in japan and being praised by critics all over the country. In america, it mostly got panned critically and sold like garbage. i played about ten hours of the game about seven years ago, and at the time it felt like an adequate jrpg with a simplistic story. It wasn't til I beat the area I was in that I realized that game was insanely huge. supposedly taking 200 hours to get through the main game. all the interest i had with the characters and story suddenly morphed into migraine inducing tedium. I don't think it's a bad game but i know i will never feel an interest in playing it again, this distaste i have to the game does not change how I ultimately feel about it as a total package, which is, if you love jrpg milieu it's the greatest game ever made.

I guarantee no one thinks Dragon Quest 7 is the greatest game ever made, including all of the 4 million Japanese people who bought it.

Swery never stopped believing and I guess I shouldn't have either I signed up and backed this, first thing I've ever backed. Wonder how common that is. But seriously what looks like the town sim of Harvest Moon with photography and a murder mystery written by SWERY? This sounds both extremely achievable and totally and completely my poo poo.

Buy Dragon's Crown and GalGun at the same time so any clerks or bystanders have to dilute their disapproval between several titles. Throw in Senran Kagura for good measure.

instead go all out and buy as many titty games as you can find, look the clerk straight in the eye and exclaim as loudly as you can, "I freakin love anime titties"

The person working for minimum wage at Gamestop cares more about you buying the magazine so their hours don't get cut to the bone. You don't have to be embarrassed buying Dragon's Crown in a store lined with Funko Pop and crusty Amiibos.

Plus isn't dragon's crown supposed to be good regardless of whether you like t&a or not

It's probably better if you like t&a but yes it's a fun game

Rarity posted:Physical games rule, it's cool to look across my room and see my collection as it increases in size I started amassing a bit of a collection for my dad's place where the internet is hella-poor, but that makes some gaming decisions interesting since I have to go out of my way to get later pressings (like "greatest hits" and GOTY editions) since they're more caught-up patch-wise and that can mean a difference between a patch of only 100 megs and a patch of 19 gigs. I buy way too much stuff for getting everything physically to be feasible without A&E's Hoarders on speed dial, though.

The only physical game I’ve bought in the last ten years was that expensive-rear end vinyl edition of Life is Strange and that was mostly just for the album.

Sakurazuka posted:While physical games are still £10 - £20 less expensive than digital I'll carry on buying them Yeah one of the big things keeping me buying games at release has been that in Canada during E3 week, most major online retailers sell the games for $49.99CAD+tax when $79.99CAD+tax is the norm, not to mention that in years past Amazon screwed up a few times and double-applied the discount on some titles (so a whole lot of people managed to get new games for under $30 after taxes when they're normally over $90), and also given some E3 game announcements they had pre-orders for took like 2-3 years to come out, during which the US-CAD exchange rate got bad (we used to be 1:1 with the US so games were $59.99CAD+tax until early 2013, then it crept up by $5 and $10 increments until late 2015 when $79.99 pretty much became the normal price), a bunch of 2015-2016 could be had for an older, lower price, with a discount applied to that price. oddium posted:physical media owns since you own it
