I am drowning.
There is no sign of land.
You are coming down with me, hand in unlovable hand.

And I hope you die.

I hope we both die.

Shadow's dog Interceptor in FFVI. The game had several special attacks that would only come out when health was low, but that dog might have been the first time I really truly noticed it happening and it was super cool

Interceptor is not a desperation attack, he has a chance to block or counterattack any time Shadow would get hit regardless of HP

The Face Shrine track is incredible, it starts out so epic and then when the Gameboy beeps and boops come in the second time around... :kiss:
I loved the redone songs but I wish more of them had gone to that level of new + nostalgia.

Dogmeat from Fallout.

I will also always have a special place in my heart for my first virtual dog, Fenris, in one of the OG text roguelikes. Poked my head into a room full of monsters *way* above my level and my little dog just charged in. I shut the door and ran away, figured he was a goner. Before I left the level I decided to take another peek inside that room, and there was my little dog, now a BIG dog, sitting on a pile of monster corpses and treasure. Good boy!

I spent so much goddamn time keeping Dogmeat alive in the military base in FO1. He was desperate to kill himself on those force fields.

That's possibly Hewie from Haunting Ground as a reused model. It's never been confirmed.

Funny thing about that, in Fallout 2, it's revealed that it's canon that's how Dogmeat died.

RE8 finally returns to inventory tetris style of item management, with more space and every item in fun geometric shapes to fiddle around with. Even better, crafting and special items (like bolt cutters) now exist outside the main inventory space :five:

Every time the Nier universe gets bigger it retroactively makes Caim from Drakengard even more of gently caress-up who ruins everything and I love it.

I occasionally think about playing Drakengard because I loved N:A

But then I remember that nothing about that series sounded good in the LPs

That's not even the worst part, the worst part is all the mindless grinding and repetitive levels you have to do to even have a chance to lose at the rhythm game ultimate secret boss.

It will always be insane to me that they recorded the chopped up classics specifically for Drakengard, I thought it was a way to save costs by sampling public domain recordings at first but no, they spent more on this than your regular PS2 "keyboardist with a rack module" OST would require

I emulated Drakengard recently because I was also curious but it really is just rear end to play. Super boring combat with zero depth, still frustrating because it's so clunky and you get stunlocked a lot, and you know if you want the true story, this'll be your life for the next 50 unchanging hours.

Only the flying missions are okay but they're not great either. Do not play Drakengard.

Which game was it that had a relationship system of " the more you interact with this person, the higher your meter" so the end boss kidnaps the shopkeeper, thinking he is your true love?

Dragon's Dogma, and that happened to me. There was a ring you could give to someone to cap out their relationship IIRC but if you had multiples capped they'd just yank who you talked to last, which was usually MASTERWORKS ONE AND ALL.
