Snak posted:Are you sure it wasn't gauntlet legends? Dark legacy was legends with double the content. Twice as many missions and twice and many base classes. I'm sure because the "chick" the ad referred to was the sorceress, and I remember thinking "what an unfortunate character design".  For whatever reason all the marketing of the game made it look like the new characters were the only playable ones, including the box art.

The other skins aren't quite as bad as that one but they all fire kiss spells and have a really racist haitian/jamaican accent because Voodoo.

She also wrote tons and tons of stories where Jedi were huge assholes and totally deserved to be killed by the heroic clone troopers because the clone troopers were clones of a MANDALORIAN so they had free will and honor, despite the movies blatantly showing that to not be the case. Then when someone asked her why she writes Jedis as such dickheads in her books, she basically said if you don't hate Jedi you're a nazi. I wonder what exactly the Star Wars book publishing division was like where you could have someone like that writing major stories for your official line and no one says "Hmm this is kinda the opposite of what our brand is about."

Also at one point there was a Gears of War official comic that claimed that there were some kind of "breeding camps" were women were enslaved to breed super soldiers, and while that kind of stuff could be justified in a horrific dystopian sci fi setting, I have no idea how it made its way into Gears of War as something the good guys do.

That is a deep well of silly lore. I read some of the oldest 40k sourcebooks and it's a shame the series went and took a turn for the up-its-own-rear end serious dumb poo poo, it was way more charming when it was Judge Dredd Fights Orcs.

Endorph posted:Probably a cultural thing. In Japan trials are pretty much show things where even if you're found not guilty you're expected to beg for forgiveness from society, and it's really difficult to get a not guilty without irrefutable proof you couldn't have done it. Probably has to do with their crime rate being much lower. Defense attorneys are looked upon even more poorly in Japan than in the US, which is what makes the Phoenix Wright series so interesting. It's basically a criticism of Japan's legal system disguised as a rad adventure game.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I played the PS2 Lord of the Rings beat-em-up. I heard really good things about the RPG one but never got around to that Eh. It's like a really really stripped down Final Fantasy X with basically nothing but the fights. It's not awful, the combat has depth and the monsters all have pretty cool animations and models for the time, but it doesn't quite live up to the hype it had on release. Those beat-em-ups rule though. If they were re-released on PC as a combined game where you can co-op the Two Towers part I would be shoving the money directly through my monitor.

Literally everyone else in the world knows exactly what is meant by that, but this thread has to split hairs over it. Here are some visual aids:  Not Anime  Anime neutral  Somewhat Anime  Definitely Anime  Too much Anime  Way too much Anime, a criminal level of Anime.

exquisite tea posted:The last time they did analytics on this, only like half of everybody even used the character creator tool and most just selected default Soldier John Shepard. For some reason this is common across most games with character creators, which is why awesome character creation options have become fairly rare in most modern games. For some brain damaged reason, most players do not even bother, so why spend so many resources on it?

I remember buying a third memory card so I could save more create-a-wrestlers for Day of Reckoning on Gamecube, because the game weirdly had a fairly low hard limit on how many you could have per save file. Day of Reckoning 2 seemed to have some decent options as well but the create-a-wrestler was insufferably laggy and slow to load models.

Red Bones posted:iirc the first Fate Stay Night game replaced the sex scenes with a bunch of cgi dragons flying around when the game got popular enough to warrant a clean version. There's probably other japanese franchises that started off as porn and made the jump to established non-porn IP, but the Fate franchise (and the other one about vampires by the same studio) are the biggest, I think. Lots of classic JRPG people got their start doing eroge visual novels, hence all the talking in those games.

Snak posted:I've said this before, but I'm really dissappointed that all the batman games use a setting that fills the world only with enemies for batman to fight. It's always the apocalyptic Arkham setting. I want a batman game with a Gotham full of civilians just trying to get by and True Crime style random incidents. As Batman, you work "with" the police to clean up corruption and organized crime in Gotham. But two types of villains rise here: Criminals you bust, and civilians who you don't save. When a crime happens, sometimes the victim resents Batman for not saving them or their family or whatever. I had an idea for a GTA style game where you play as this small time crook who rises through the ranks of Gotham's underworld by working as a henchman for a bunch of Batman's rogues, and Batman would only appear in the game when you get the maximum wanted level or during special story missions, and he'd basically be unstoppable. And at the end you could become your own dumb themed villain or work with Batman to bring down Joker, and maybe some other endings because why not. It probably wouldn't get made because people would get upset they're not playing as Batman.
