[Inhales] Well, first one that comes to mind is Brave: A warrior's tale. It's...Well, it had passion, but no budget. At all. So many glitches, the visuals are Path of Radiance tier, the camera can get stuck in walls, strange combat... For some reason, the voice acting in this game is superb, though. Like, maybe even better than Three Houses', and I like TH's voice acting. But yeah, really buggy, really funny glitches, okay story...It's just really funny. NiGHTS: Journey of dreams is another one I'd consider to be pretty bad. The biggest problem was that it was a lot like the flying sections from SMG, but there was no health system, just time, EVEN FOR BOSS FIGHTS. It controlled quite poorly, and basically every stage (sorta like galaxies from MG) of the game felt exactly the same, as they always had a "fly around on a track for five minutes then fight the boss" and so on and so forth-it rarely deviated from this. I did enjoy both those games for how bad they were, though. One that only sorta counts is Sonic and All-stars racing transformed. It is a very solid game, but glitches GALORE. For example, one of the maps will load as completely pitch black if there are three or more players on the screen, some walls you can literally just drive through, and other things like this. It is a really fun game, though. I would recommend playing any of these games, actually! What is your favorite archetype in FE? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ultimate is probably too easy of a pick, so excluding that, I'd go with Brawl.

Saint Rubenio Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 11 hours ago, twilitfalchion said: Favorite female video game character? That's a good question... I think a good candidate would be Shanoa, from Castlevania Order of Ecclesia. Over the course of the game, she loses literally everything, up to and including her own memories and emotions, but that doesn't stop her from helping everyone she comes across and kicking all sorts of ass - including Dracula's ass over the span of just a few hours, despite not having a drop of Belmont blood in her veins. The D-man vastly underestimates her, and it's so satisfying to watch him go down afterwards. Her design is actually quite tasteful, by Japan's standards. She does have her back exposed, but there's a good reason for this, as she uses the tattoos on her back to absorb and equip the glyphs that she uses to fight. It makes for some badass visuals. Also, her hair animations are a work of art. She does have combat high heels, which I always hate, but... Meh, the rest of her design is excellent, so I can forgive them. Lastly, the fact that she's a playable female protagonist. That's always pretty rad. Do you have a character that you love to hate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up watching the classic Disney cartoons from the 90s, like DuckTales or Darkwing Duck. The latter in particular was a favorite of mine! In general, my childhood was full of classic cartoon shows and movies, not just Disney. Looney Tunes, really classic Disney stuff (one of the first cartoons I ever saw was the really old one where Donald, Mickey, and Goofy are forced to move out of their house), Pink Panther, the Tex Avery cartoons... oh, and the Asterix and Obelix cartoon movies, of course! 1 hour ago, Saint Rubenio said: Lastly, the fact that she's a playable female protagonist.

null Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 7 hours ago, Benice said: What is your favorite archetype in FE? Not exclusive to FE, but probably the tsundere archetype, when written well. For example, I think Severa is a great character because she's given a reason for why she acts the way she does instead of her just shouting "idiot" at people for no apparent reason. Or Felix as well, since the player is given a pretty thorough explanation as to why he's so abrasive and aloof. -------- Favorite video game soundtrack (excluding Nights of Azure)?

Saint Rubenio Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 (edited) 1 hour ago, DragonFlames said: Same question for you! What is your favorite childhood show, if any? Well, I never watched many cartoons as a child. Always was more of a videogame guy. Usually I just watched whatever was on TV when my parents forced me to get out of the computer (they were always worried I was "obsessed with videogames"). More often than not it was garbage like post-season 3 Spongebob. I remember the first time I watched the one scene where Squidward and Spongebob are trying to move a couch... You know the one. That was unpleasant. There was one show, though. A french cartoon called Code Lyoko, 95 episodes long plus a two-parter prequel. It's about a group of middle schoolers who discover a supercomputer at an abandoned factory. Within it is a huge virtual world called Lyoko, in which lives a girl called Aelita. The heroes are attempting to bring Aelita to the real world while fighting off an evil sentient virus called X.A.N.A. that attacks them both in Lyoko and in the real world. That's the premise for season 1, anyway. It starts as a bit of a repetitive "monster of the week" kinda thing, but from season 2 onwards it gets way, way better. I fell in love with this show. I remember pestering my mother to download me more episodes, because I couldn't be arsed to wait for TV to catch up. To this day, it's one of the few shows I've watched in their entirety. In fact, just a year ago I discovered it was officially uploaded to Youtube in its entirety, so I watched it again for the first time in like 10 years. It has its flaws (especially season 1 hasn't aged all that well, although it does have its good episodes), but I had an absolute blast. Felt like a kid again, remembering all my favorite moments. Not sure if I'd recommend it. I mean, I love it, I think it's absolutely great, even with its flaws. But in this case I'll fully admit that I'm biased due to nostalgia. Usually I try to avoid that, but in Lyoko's case the nostalgia is just too strong. Who's your favorite character from your least favorite FE?

While I do have my issues with the story, I think Ch. 10's tone and interactions between the characters (Mustafa in particular) get the player emotionally invested. Mustafa isn't a villain. He's a noble guy who fights for his country. That kind of loyalty is respectable and I always felt a bit bad being forced to kill him. Also, "Don't speak her name!" is one of the best FE songs in the series. Perfect for the atmosphere of the chapter. Tense, weighty, beautiful. Same question to you.

Spoiler Rhea reveals herself to be a dragon in the cutscene that leads into the timeskip (which you don't get to see in Crimson Flower for the obvious reasons). The entire buildup to the attack on Garreg Mach is one of my favorite moments in Three Houses (as is the map in and of itself), because of how tense and desperate it all feels, but this part of it definitely sticks out to me.

Now, here's the thing - I've never played Touhou. The games look like a fun challenge, but I can't say the whole "magical lolis" side of it appeals to me. Even so, I spend half my time listening to Touhou music and covers. In fact, I'm doing so right now! I cannot speak for the man's skills as a gamemaker, but ZUN is a goddamned musical genius. I don't think I've found a single Touhou song for which my reaction was any less than "yeah this is good". It's all too awesome. FE6 remake, yay or nay?

null Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 1 hour ago, Benice said: Do you think remakes should be faithful? That is largely dependent on how poorly the original game holds up, concerning gameplay changes. If we're talking FE4, for instance, then absolutely. There needs to be some pretty big changes, in my opinion, before the game can be truly enjoyable (and not an absolute bore) to play. Story-wise, I'd say it also depends on the game. To use FE4 as an example again, the characters could really use some fleshing out to make them more interesting, although I'd say the overall narrative is pretty okay as is. -------- What difficulty do you prefer to play FE on?
