once i had finished with god of war ragnarok it was basically my blueprint for everything games shouldn't do. if someone recommends something a game should do and it makes me think of god of war ragnarok then i reject it outright. a frictionless sphere with the writing of a hallmark original movie, obnoxiously wry meta awareness to taste

God of war 2018 sucked poo poo and I shan’t be playing ragnarok.

Ragnarok Online, however, is a Good Game... if you can find a decent server that manages to exist for more than a couple of months and isn't run by people that use server "donations" to make gacha game microtransactions look like a good deal.

Was it ffX2 that was just the ladies from the previous game doing a bunch of singing magic nonsense?

I played that a little bit at a classmates apartment, and it was fun.

It wasn't even the real Chocobo Mystery Dungeon, it was this thing

loving just watched a part I hadn't seen or paid attention to, dude complaining how japanese games treat the player like and idiot and have info popups everywhere explaining everything

and last year Elden Ring comes out and ~western~ devs get insanely angry that people liked a game without a million UI features and tech pop ups. Horizon games not literally having the main character narrating an active boss battle telling you what to do.

mystery dungeon games in general are pretty rad. the shiren the wanderer ones are my favorite, though, the level up fanfare tickles my brain

I really liked the DS Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games. Are there any good mods or fangames of those? I've got to get more use out of my CFW 3DS.

it does until you get to the point where the only way to fight is to use master stroke and parry everything, your armour blocks all damage, and then the game gets so bad. also that you can take the garbage eater perk and just carry around 3 tons of rotten meat on your horse and then completely ignore the entire survival mechanics of the game lol

Cool. I should see if there's a used copy kicking around the pawn shops in town. I only got a quick chance to play a bit, and then kind of forgot about it, but I did enjoy what I played of x2.

My confession is that the only final fantasy games I have played were 6 and crystal chronicles. I only ever had Nintendo consoles as a kid and I've never bothered to go back and try any of the other FF games now that I don't have to beg mom to buy me everything.

6 is pretty awesome, it was my favorite as a kid which informs much of my opinions on FF.

I get why people like character action games, I just don’t want to play them.

Edit: you know I do like to get one in every few years, maybe I’ll just put it off for awhile. Love a nonsense FF story though.
