jak ii should be five hours shorter than it is cause now i'm getting into some of the extremely lovely late-game missions and i just want the game to end. i can't even imagine doing hero mode with a game this long and this bullshit

also it's weird that the keira subplot is just built on erol, who's entire character is being a weird slimy rear end in a top hat and someone who you've never seen in literally any other context, walking in and saying "jak i'm gonna murder you and gently caress your girlfriend" and then keira getting mad at jak for saying that erol is a bad guy

I like how Keira is behind a curtain for most of her story and doesn't recognize you because she's never heard Jak speak.

Should've done a Valkyria Chronicles or Gun Gale Online collaboration to really exploit the impulse buys.

Speaking of collaborations this gacha I play is doing one with Persona 5 and it changed all the UI/music to be Persona 5 themed and I was real confused before I realized what was happening.

And then she just disappears for Jak 3

and then (Jak 3 spoilers) Erol was the main bad guy behind pretty much everything bad that was happening in Jak 3

Had a series of particularly rough comp matches in Overwatch with this same doofus on the enemy team every time, and for whatever reason he latched onto poo poo talking me despite my not having said anything more than "glhf" or "gg" the whole time. Last match came along and we steamrolled his team, though he was still doing pretty good, and I just threw an offhanded "was X guy throwing the match? sorry guys" at the enemy team and the dude lost his mind.

All caps spam, threatening to fight me IRL, spamming me with friend requests when the match was done. Felt good.

I finished torchlight, the final boss is terrible and requires you to grind 5 levels for some reason, despite the rest of the game being well-balanced

I do have torchlight 2 on humble trove but i dunno if i want to jump right into it

I enjoyed torchlight 1 and 2 a ton but torchlight 2 definitely suffers if you play it on too hard of a difficulty because of how the damage calculations for critical hits work. Basically, don't play TL2 on a high difficulty because iirc critical hits will just one-shot you no matter what and you have no way to stop it from happening unless you're the engineer class.

Torchlight 1 and 2 were good. Not sure why they decided to make the new one an MMO.

I liked Torchlight 1 when it came out, especially because the world hadn't had a good arpg since Titan Quest. Sometimes frustrating difficulty curve. Torchlight 2 I could take or leave, it was fun for the time but it came out at the same time as Borderlands 2, and after Diablo 3. While T1 was a breath of fresh air, T2 was already-treaded ground overshadowed by the competition.

Torchlight 1 I really enjoy

Torchlight 2 always felt like The Indie Game Take on Diablo 3.

Sonic was never advertised for his speed in Japan, he's more of a smug rear end in a top hat who exudes confidence. The back of that box translates as "Screw the ordinary. I know what's important, so yeah, I'm pretty drat confidant."

The wikipedia article on Sonic is a real trip

"Many results came forth from their experiments with character design, including an armadillo (who was later developed into Mighty the Armadillo), a dog, a Theodore Roosevelt look-alike in pajamas (who would later be the basis of Dr. Robotnik/Eggman's design), and a rabbit (who would use its extendable ears to collect objects, an aspect later incorporated in Ristar).[10][11] Naoto Ohshima took some of these internal designs with him on a trip to New York City and sought feedback by asking random passerbyers at Central Park their opinions; of the designs, the spiky teal hedgehog, initially codenamed "Mr. Needlemouse",[6] led this informal poll, followed by Eggman and the dog character. Ohshima felt that people selected it because it "transcends race and gender and things like that.""

"his personality was based on then-presidential candidate and later President of the United States Bill Clinton's "Get it done" attitude during the 1992 presidential campaign.[10][13][14][15] To help sell the idea to Sega's higher-ups, Ohshima pitched the concept framed by a fictional fighter pilot that had earned the named "Hedgehog" due to his spiky hair, and had decorated his plane with images of Sonic."

"The original concepts gave Sonic fangs and put him in a band with a human girlfriend named Madonna. "
