The only system with Games coming out for it is the PS4 it seems.

Wii-U and Xbox One releases are sparse or in limbo.

the GBA color saturation feels bad and looks bad on a monitor, and the music is messed up because my head knows what it should sound like but it doesn't,

Fortunately, there are actually patches for both of these

Chrono Trigger and Mario RPG are the only JRPGs that are good and could be recommended.

All other JRPGs may be fun to play if you're cool with JRPGs otherwise they're garbage

9 is good but slow as poo poo to the point where it's really bad unless you're dying of cancer and are on a morphine drip so you're high the entire time and don't mind the horrible pacing of the entire game

FFIX is insanely good I just wish it had character-specific sidequests at the end.

FactsAreUseless posted:

Wait, which one is Garnet's?

FactsAreUseless posted:

Oh, yeah, I forgot about that. I mean like a full Chrono Trigger-style quest for each character, with its own boss. Would have helped the fourth disc.

FF9 is actually in a very tight competition for worst Final Fantasy game along with 8 and 13.

There's slow pacing and then there's waiting like 20 seconds for every single battle to start and conclude with long animations for every tiny little thing in battle and it makes the game a chore to play, it really needs a remastering where the battles pick up the pace a little bit. I mean the game is good and all but God drat dude, pacing wise, FF9 makes Breaking Bad look like an episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Kuja gets interesting toward the end but he's just some guy for most of the game. The story and characters are mostly really good though. I just want some endgame sidequests to give some closure to characters who get forgotten early on (Freya) and who have a lot of loose ends in their backstory (Freya) or who are Freya.

FactsAreUseless posted:

Like I wish we saw more of Kuja early on, especially since he kills the character you spend the first two discs fighting.

Kefka and Emperor Palamecia are far and away the best Final Fantasy villains.

I felt pretty ripped off when the hidden megaboss turned out to be a beach ball.

I have a question regarding Hideo Kojima, and this seemed like the best place to ask:

I've heard in interviews that Kojima has been trying to distance himself from Metal Gear and do other things, but Konami keeps putting him back on. What's the likelyhood that he follows Inafune and starts his own project, either through private funding or Kickstarter?

this is what i'm wondering. is there any standard for games that get on there? what other kinds of bizarre titles have made their way into the previously-unsullied e-shop

Maxis died when Will Wright decided he was more interested in building robots and fundraising for Republican politicians than making videogames. EA is just finally getting rid of the corpse.

I'm finally playing mother 3 through for the first time and i just got to Leder's big exposition dump. okay, I guess.

I think overall, it's a good game, but not as good as Earthbound for a lot of reasons. Like, the kind of game that the series is riffing on sort of didn't exist anymore when they made it, they tried to be hugely emotional right out of the bag, a lot of it is inappropriate creepy rather than weird and cool creepy. I dunno. It's still a really good game in my opinion and i am glad I played it. I like getting the 16 hit combos. I shouldn't have waited so long so i would have appropriate expectations.

gay skull posted:

How did he get that capsule anyway?

Or was that the same thing as he had at the end of Earthbound that I guess he bought with all his Monotoli money?

Bicyclops posted:

I liked Castle Crashers, the tedious beat-em-up TMNT clone with cartoon poop jokes for 4 players which went overpriced once it hit steam. maybe it was always overpriced, i dunno, I had a roommate who bought it for his x box. I would like more games like that, though, where you ram buttons and level up with friends.

Whenever I see Bayonetta all I can think about is Hideki Kamiya trying as hard as he can not to jerk off to her but failing miserably, and then talking about blocking people on twitter or something.

It's the glasses that do it for him.

wikipedia posted:

She was additionally given glasses at Kamiya's insistence, intended to differentiate her from other female characters as well as give her a "sense of mystery and intelligence", though Shimazaki attributed it to possibly his preference for women with glasses.

wiki again posted:

She was given longer legs and arms to make her more appealing as an action-game character, countering what Shimazaki felt was a trend of female characters in such games having short and thin limbs. Her limbs and the rest of her design were appealing to Kamiya, and development proceeded on the character's attire.
