Also, thanks to charliefoxtrot for posting the P5 curry. I made my own based off of it but heavily modified for the wife and kid and it was drat good. Had mine with rice, hummus and an egg while the wife and kid had theirs with rice noodles in a sauce.

Good stuff.

I have not been able to find a single good curry recipe, I miss it after coming back from japan. :smith:

some observations about sonic chronicles: the dark brotherhood, in no particular order:

-there are about 15-20 seconds of silence between loops in the background music. i knew going in that there'd been issues with the music but not to that extent
-lots of stock sound effects evocative of humongous entertainment pc games
-this is the second sonic game on the ds to crib gameplay from elite beat agents/ouendan
-your healing moves can miss if you flub the qte
-the game tells you turn order for your party but not for the enemies
-the stats named Attack and Defense are actually for accuracy and evasion. relatedly, attacks miss frequently
-enemies will sometimes try to run away and you then play an auto-runner minigame. if they do escape then you don't get anything, even from enemies you defeated
-enemies scale with your level but their rewards do not appear to
-dialogue options let you decide whether to be polite goodboy sonic or snarky rudeboy sonic

They had a real soundtrack all ready to be made, but for unspecified legal reasons were forced to take it out late in development so they had to literally just download a bunch of Sonic MIDIs from the internet and shove them into the game.

yes lmao that is my absolute favorite piece of bioware trivia, but it goes even farther than that! Because of the time problems they had to use an incomplete custom soundfont so some of the songs are straight up missing instruments.

in custom robo, once you've been given the big revelatory plot dump about how the world is actually not flat and you live in a dome, you're given your final mission, to raid z syndicate headquarters. but you're also told it's okay to say no and stay home if the stakes are too high and you're scared. while it seems like a "but thou must" kind of situation, you can say no through 20 unique lines of dialogue as your best buddy tries everything he can think of to get you to go with everyone else until you finally get a unique game over where you're told everyone died offscreen and your buddy yells at you for being a dummy

One of my favorite things that I didn't notice for awhile about that game is it doesn't reuse many (or any?) NPC models, so even the unnamed NPCs like "Man" are characters with ongoing stories.

His voice and outfit suck but the main reason I don't like him is I don't like boring bland protagonists that everyone loves and gets all the ladies.

It's bad enough in Persona and stuff, but at least the main character never talking lets you suspend disbelief and assume he's charming.

Metal Gear Rising is one of the best games I've ever played. I don't think Hideo Kojima directed any truly bad metal gear games, but 4 and 5 were definitely a huge step down in writing quality.

There's an interesting (long as hell but if you've played MGS4 you clearly don't mind watching long cutscenes) video someone made detailing a lot of criticisms of MGS4 and why people feel the plot falls apart.

Having big boss in it was a mistake and the Patriots should not have been the final boss to metal gear.

In terms of Metal Gear bosses I did find the fights in MGS5 to be a bit disappointing, but I have a personal theory about why.

Since the plot of MGS5 is deeply linked to the plot of the very first Metal Gear it almost makes sense that the bosses get less memorable. Even though Big Boss has been running around fighting all kinds of crazy poo poo Solid Snake didn't really do that until MGS1. The world itself is moving away from the outlandish pseudo sci-fi conflicts, and back to a period of more grounded conventional warfare. In fact, if we look at the kinds of bosses that Solid Snake would face in MG1&2 they are very similar to the ones we fight in MGS5.

Obviously just a personal theory, but it kind of makes sense to me. MGS5 has some serious issues on a lot of fronts, and who knows what revalations might have been cut. It just feels, to me, like the whole game is an attempt to bring the franchise full circle back to its starting point. Not just in terms of story, but also world design and aesthetics.

I was incredibly let down that at no point does MGS5 have a old-school vampire as the ultimate anti-big boss weapon.

Mgs4 is a good game. The B&B ladies are not good characters.

It might just be because Crying Wolf drowns out the others with how bad it is, but I really don't remember the fights being good for the most part. RAY and Liquid Ocelot were good.

The fight with Vamp was pretty much a joke, and uh do the Haven Troopers even count as a boss? :shrug:

crying wolf sucks because it calls back really hard to the sniper duels of MGS 1 and 3, but instead of being a sniper duel you have to fight a bunch of frogs, you aren't using the same weapon, and you can just shooting crying wolf while she runs around like a dumbass because she can't even attack you in a bunch of places.

Raging Raven I completely forget, Laughing Octopus was fine.

yeah Olga's the only boss on the tanker. technically the mercenaries in the elevator are presented as a mini-boss, same with the Tengus later on.

I think you're underrating Fatman, he was pretty different from other fights with some of the hide and go seek/bomb diffusal stuff.

But yeah, Fatman, Solidus and maybe Olga are the only bosses I liked much in MGS2.

I think overall if a boss fight is good or not is partially affected by the narrative context that they take place in, so overall I like MGS1's the most, I think. The End and The Sorrow are awesome but Pain, Fear and Fury are barely characters.
