So after reading about how busted this "Hypermode" is, I think Prime 3 Veteran is gonna be the way to go.

That and reading how Prime 3 Normal is too easy.

The only one I can think of is Banner Saga. Except for a handful of battles, the game lets you keep going even if you lose, though usually there are consequences for it.

There’s more than one? I thought it was just the finale in the first game. Though I think I saw someone saying that the battle right before Nikels does his thing has to be won as well.

If he was depicted as being 28 and not 280, I would have had to sue the creator of this for putting me in the game without my knowledge. They even made him a fire dragon.

In any case, I have had an unfortunate encounter yesterday.
Or rather, someone whom I thought I had removed from my life decided to intrude again. I got an e-mail from someone I have not talked to in six years now, someone I once called a friend. Best friend, even.
But we had a falling out, and, well, we haven't spoken to each other ever since. I don't know what prompted them to message me yesterday, and honestly, I do not really want to know. Their message wasn't exactly apologetic, either, which caused some rather... unpleasant feelings of years of being taken for granted, feeling used, doing favor after favor after favor only to get no thanks for them, instead, the only thing I got were even more favors, sometimes even those that went past what I was really comfortable with, and favors I asked of my own were either met with complete silence or increasingly flimsy excuses for why that person could not follow through.
Now, I am really not someone who only does things for others for rewards. I really am not.
But would a simple show of gratitude and the really have been so much to ask?

I really do not know why I put up with that person for that long, and I probably should have ended the friendship much sooner than I ended up doing. But at some point, I just could not put up with it anymore. I felt like I was being taken advantage of, neither my health or well-being was of any concern. I was just there to do stuff for that person, whether or not I was actually willing or capable of doing it did not matter. In fact, I was being coerced into doing it regardless. And when I really said no, that person would actively get pissed off at me. And that was finally the point where I told that person to their face all they had put me through, and ended the friendship right then and there.

I was stupid, in retrospect. Stupid for not ending the friendship sooner, but I am also the kind of person who, despite all cynicism, longs for friendly contact with others. I want friends, and so I might sometimes get a bit desperate in my attempts at keeping them, no matter the damage to myself.
But I also remember that this was the incident that made me not want any friends anymore. I've been stepped on one time too many... at least that's how I thought back then. It's a little better now, but the anxiety of making friends, and it turning out the same way as all my other "friendships" (either people pretending to be friends so they could shame me in front of the entire class, or, well... this) did is still lingering in the back of my mind.

In this chapter, we're defending Eliwood from Bern's invasion. This chapter's theme is sons of FE7 characters.

Here we have Harken and Isadora's son. Eugh. Must've taken after his mom... Guy can't even double mages.

This is Erik's son. He breaks the family tradition of being treacherous assholes by not being a treacherous asshole, and instead being very recruitable. I like his portrait.

This is the son of Desmond. He's--

...You know, it'd be really funny if I killed him here. Roy finishes suppressing the revolt at Ostia and then he just receives a letter from his dad saying "hey there sonny boy, the King of Bern came to Pherae and then an army led by your auntie Lyn's daughter came out of nowhere and killed him. Sooo uhhh yeah, war's over, come home, I'll have Lowen prepare some cookies."

Yeah, that one too. There's also one battle that you can do at Bindal that you absolutely have to win, though that one is optional. Those three are the ones I know of, though I believe there may be a couple more. Still, pretty good effort, considering the friggin' final battle isn't among them.

Actually, he's probably more like 1 month old. He's a defective war dragon. Defective as in, he developed emotions and refused to kill innocents. I don't think war dragons are too old, considering it's implied Idoun just shits them out on demand.

I know the feeling. I've had a friend like this, too. Ended up cutting all ties after high school. No real fallout, I just stopped contacting him. It's the best thing you can do with people like this. If they show no signs of trying to make amends and is merely asking for favors, my advice would be to just ignore them. It's not worth it.

I finished the second dungeon. It was pretty good too, which bodes well for the dungeons in the rest of the game. The boss fight was pretty easy, though.

Nonsense, friend! If someone doesn’t want to read that or be burdened by it or whatever, they can simply not read it. This is a public thread, after all.

If I were you, I would just try my best not to let what other people have done to you before effect how you are towards people if you want friends. You may have had a lot of bad relationships before, but there are also a lot of good ones to be had, even if it doesn’t feel like it. Like your friendships on here! If people want to be rude/mean/unpleasant, that’s their fault, not yours.

Ok so right off the bat you can tell that Prime 3 came out during the motion control craze of the Wii era. I'm not talking about the aiming, that's still all well and good, I'm talking about everything else lol. There's a little bit of a "Sony cinematic game" feel to it.

No real friend would do such a thing Draggy. People like that aren’t worth keeping around. That’s what I’ve really learned since my ex and I broke up last month. I hope everything turns out well for you.

Horseborn and dredge attack the town at the same time, and you get a whole bunch of choices.

Oh, I see. Tbh, the punishment for losing most battles is just the game saying “sucks to suck!” and moving on, though, of course, there are quite a few battles where losing causes you to lose those as well.

What immediately comes to mind is the final battle, where if you lose everyone except the characters that absolutely need to be there for the plot at the end dies. This might seem inconsequential, since you have no battles left to face, but it’s the only way you can get arguably the worst ending (the same result can be achieved in two different ways but which is one is more depressing depends on the individual. Kinda.) since one of the options for the finale involves a character performing the ritual to save the world, but that character is now dead. You can still pick the option that you would have if they were still alive, for some reason, but with no one to take over the ritual, the world is screwed. Plus, if you’re competing with someone to see who gets the fewest deaths, you’re screwed. I actually just barely won that battle. Ah, memories.
