Rarity posted:Controversial take: I really didn't like Blood Money. It was super finicky and for all the talk of you can play it how you want it seemed for the levels I played you were expected to follow one route to do things perfectly otherwise it would never work. Agreed Really tempted to get back into Hitman (2016), I never did most of the optional stuff

see also:quote:The Critical Hit bug is present in every version of the original Final Fantasy (though its status as a bug in more recent versions is debatable since it seems to have been intentionally retained). Instead of loading a weapon's critical hit rate, the game loads the weapon's index number. The practical effect of this bug is that critical hits are slightly less common than they were intended to be at the beginning of the game, and substantially more common than they were meant to be at the end of the game. quote:The Intelligence bug is a bug found in both the NES and PS versions of Final Fantasy. In the game, Intelligence is supposed to be a factor in how much damage or healing a spell will do, or how effective it is, but is never factored in, essentially meaning that a Red Mage can use Cure just as well as a White Mage, with neither being better at it than the other. This also means that magic spells never become more powerful, with any given magic spell being just as powerful when cast by low-level or high-level characters. Combined with the Critical Hit bug this results in magic being overall less powerful than physical attacks. edit: gently caress i'm falling down a rabbit hole here, here's the rest for final fantasy 1 and i'll shut up quote:In the Nintendo Entertainment System version some weapons have special abilities, which have no effect.

As some of you may know, when Final Fantasy II was originally released on the Famicom, one thing that was quite a popular topic at the time was the Ultima spell, which was very difficult to acquire, but was also practically useless. Just to give you an idea of how useless it was, in the NES version of the game, Ultima was initially meant to increase its power relative to the level of other spells the caster had, but due to a bug, it caused the spell to do just around 500 damage at the most on a single target. Baffled by how the series’ most powerful spell ended up being so weak in its debut game, Iwasaki and other fellow developers spoke with Hironobu Sakaguchi, who directed Final Fantasy II, about how that ended up happening. At the time, when Square tested the game out and saw the Ultima bug, it was definitely a problem, and Sakaguchi said “How did this happen? Fix it.” However, the person that programmed it replied with the following statement: “All of that legendary stuff, it dates back to an age that didn’t even have proper techniques. If you were to look at such things now in the present’s point-of-view, it would be natural that they look inferior. For this reason, it’s a given that Ultima’s abilities would be bad.” “As for those who struggled and ultimately acquired it only to find out that it’s useless… well, that’s something that often happens in life. So, I’m not going to fix it!” Naturally, Sakaguchi was rather irritated by that reply and said “whatever, just give me the source,” so he could fix it himself. As it turned out, the programmer had ciphered the source, so he ended up being the only one who could do anything with it, and it was just left the way it was. It's fun to realize Square was always just this weird mismanaged hellhole where people do as they please.

10 years ago there was that WoW goon who missed the birth of his child to raid and got banned, if he just waited until the advent of twitch he'd probably be rewarded with 2,000 more followers and donations to stream from the delivery room.

The platforms for games are designed in a way that favors and amplifies the voices of racists and misogynists, and the platform holders will never be your allies. The reason every trending gamer turns out to be a bigot is because that is the only kind of person who could win the award, not because the trophies are made out of racist kryptonite.

Ok, my experience with Skate is I see a trick that looks impossible, gently caress it up 50 times before somehow fluking it with no idea how I did it. So pretty much like skating in real life

haveblue posted:...did we ever think Bowsette was canon?

It's just a tongue-in-cheek "don't expect Bowsette in a game" side reference. It's a moderately funny non-story that got an entire article written about it because there isn't a single games column that isn't crap.

When I played through Blood Money a couple of years back the thing that I had forgotten about it is how odd most of the people in the game look. Most of the men are built like professional wrestlers and most of the women have tiny waists and big boobs. I don't think that was a thing in Contracts, but it was definitely also a thing in Absolution (more so with the way the women looked).
