Yeah I think I probably should have played through Horizon first, then again who cares I'm buying two more potentially 40+ hour games on Friday :shepicide:

I just climbed my first giant dinosaur in Horizon.

:stare: this game is so fuckin' big but strikes the perfect balance of "number of icons I feel like I need to give a poo poo about" on the map

They managed to make 'climb a tower to reveal stuff on the map' actually seem cool and impressive.

Chrono Trigger is cool but the combat is the most generic turn based nonsense ever and anyone who still thinks it's the best JRPG ever made hasn't played one since 1996.
Hell even in SNES game only terms Earthbound is better than it.

JRPGs evolved in a totally wrong direction during the playstation era. So many cutscenes, so much anime, so much voice acting...

And they never really recovered.

Tales of Berseria came out in January and is top 5 JRPG's ever material.

It's pretty good but like most jrpgs you could have cut like 10-20 hours away from it and it would've been better for it.

The dungeons being a bit too long is the only reason it's not number one.

You are correct but it really depends on whether or not you played C64 or Amiga games, which were melting faces with their soundtracks long before the SNES was around.

I didn't so it kicked rear end to hear this poo poo for the first time:

One thing I wasn't clear on (maybe it's because I didn't turn the audio on): what happens when that sniper takes out the orc he's fighting? Did the player command that or did having a sniper in his army just end up being good luck? Doesn't look like any commands were entered.

Also, something potentially disappointing is that huge orc/troll who takes down the gate. Says in his stats that he's a battering ram but is he ever able to ram through the gate on his own? Because in that vid it's the player who really triggers it.

The stage was obviously super scripted so I wouldn't base what's actually possible on that. But yeah the sniper dude was like a random event where there's a chance one of your guys will distinguish themselves by helping you out in a pinch. Supposedly.

Yeah, that's the garbage-rear end sanitized version of Contra they got in Europe.

I thought the robots were cooler to be honest. The worst change they made was making it so you didn't see the true final boss or a proper ending unless you beat it on hard. So like once for me.

I found Sam & Max to be one of the easier LA adventures personally, I beat it during a long weekend as a kid with no guide. I did play a ton at that time though and was probably more attuned to adventure game logic.

I'm going to be taking all suggestions for embarrassing VNs to play during Novelember. Quite frankly, it's going to be the weirdest gaming month.

Add Kindred Spirits to your list, watch for a Steam sale though since it's kind of expensive (assuming you're going the legal route).
