Did they fix that last River City Ransom game with patches yet?

They're getting there, they unfortunately took a hiatus for some time because it turns out they basically made the game in addition to having full time jobs and were on the verge of having nervous breakdowns. They're back at it, though. You will hear about it once/if they finally fix all the problems because I will make a lot of noise about it.

Yeah I respect Mother 3 for not just being Earthbound again, and being very good in its own right, but in the end I prefer Earthbound as an experience.

Which, studio interference aside, is how I feel about Alien 3.

Is Mother 1 a thing that exists / is worth playing?

It exists and no. There are a lot of good ideas there but it's a NES rpg and not even a good one. The grindy bullshit and unfun combat really get in the way of the experience. I'd say wait for the interminable fan remake in the Earthbound engine that adds tons of convenience features, or watch/read an LP.

Dewgy posted:

My favorite thing about Mother 3 is that, for all intents and purposes, it is the game that was cancelled on the N64 remade from the ground up for the GBA. There's enough side by side comparisons between the two where early previews clearly match scenes in the final game despite it being a totally different graphical style.

I'm sure there were some actual mechanical differences and whatever, but I love that the design and story and characters of a famously cancelled game actually got made into a finished product, and a drat good one.

There are a lot of differences between those early screenshots and the GBA game and I can only imagine the design as a whole changed quite a bit as well.

I believe the anime about the fake mmo came first, then they made a bad game about the bad anime. All I really know about it is the main character really wants to gently caress his sister.

I think, to give it an extremely tiny amount of credit, the main character does not want to gently caress his sister, she just wants to gently caress him despite him having an actual non-relation girlfriend.

Admittedly my knowledge of this comes entirely from third-hand knowledge so maybe he does.

I'm pretty sure that's worse.

9 is ok. I don't like that in a game that deliberately goes for nostalgia, the mechanics are still really not at all like the old games it's superficially similar to. I really liked those old games. I don't like Kuja as a villain, either. And I really wish I could switch Zidane out of my party.

...you've been here as long as I have, so I know you know this isn't true.

then again i don't really know anything, i try to stay out of it. there are maybe a dozen posters i actually talk directly to (private messages) and i just assume everyone else hates me. works pretty much the same as when my wife and i go to see a band at the local indie rock bar and i just assume everyone i haven't actually been in a band with or known for 20 years is mocking and judging us

it's not paranoia, it's pronoia

edit: we saw a really fantastic band last night that was like a cross between The B-52s (their really old stuff) and Devo and they were the fuckin' tits. i hate people who look at their cell phones while the band is playing. when we got home we watched Trainspotting 2 which made me feel very old but in a good, bittersweet way. this stoner guy i know, i'm pretty sure HE hates me but he said i should DJ at this co-op DJ thing so maybe he's just Too Cool For School
