Saint Rubenio Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 (edited) And on top of the events earlier today, I am speaking with a certain old regular from my LPs, who left Serenes before Three Houses's release and with whom I've been reconnecting. He tells me Houses turned out to be his least favorite FE. The validation. It is sweeeeeeet... It's a good day to hate a game, lads. We also spent some time reminiscing on the times when I wagered Conquest would be my least favorite game in the series if I bothered to try it. What a fool I was then. I could not see the radiance of Garon... And, y'know, the genuinely great gameplay. Edited August 5, 2022 by Saint Rubenio Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punished Dayni Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 Well that's some public domain funhouse shit there. Apparently a remake though. 1 hour ago, ping said: It's only real AC if small numbers are better! *yells at cloud* Ignore that my only actual P&P roleplay experience was with a system that was only developed because a big German boardgame publisher didn't want to cough up the licencing fees for DnD I'm pretty sure we (the campaign I'm a part of) were discussing between rolling against AC and we had to hit below the threshold in one case. Or I'm just remembering wrong the specifics, I've not played much of this campaign and it's my first contact with D&D specifically. 1 hour ago, Saint Rubenio said: Reveal hidden contents Pretty good ranking! I think for my own, I'd agree on ranks 7 through 4. I agree with your reasons, overall. For the rest, O. Dio would rank third for me. I love his lines, the gatling gun is iconic and the fact that he partners up with Mad Dog as a horse is just marvelous, but his fight is pretty underwhelming. Ou Di Wan Lee is a massive bastard, even as far as these literal incarnations of evil go, he just murders two young people for pretty much absolutely no reason. The fight can be deceptively tough if you aren't careful, and the send-off is amazing. And as you said, his VA is good. Second place. OD-10 wins for me. It is suitably unnerving, its more subtle approach feels more impactful and makes it the most successful of the incarnations (it almost completes its goal of massacring everyone. Had it started its plan earlier, OP man Darthe wouldn't have been on-board and Kato wouldn't have finished Cube. The lot of them would've been fucked), the Captain Square intro cutting to "die, child, die" is just pure awesome and the aesthetics of the fight are the best in the entire game. I love it. Spoiler RIP Ode Iou. I didn't even go into the point of Mad Dog symbolically being so determined to get Sundown to the degree he'd ride a horse that's the personification of violence just to get a bounty. Which if that doesn't fit him to a tee what would? I generally understand your reasoning though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odeo benefits from everything surrounding it, at least, and Odo is a massive dinasour. Frogman's just... kinda there, sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fates was certainly something new and ambitious and it came directly after the huge success of one the most vanilla Fire Emblems there is! I feel the team already pretty much satisfied the Three Houses fans with Three Hopes, I'm willing to believe the next game will be different. Let the record show, I've never played Three Houses.

I believe that it's possible in the future. There's even a Ventuswill mod too. Just don't expect one for the male characters. Unless you wanna make one yourself Then what is even the point????🤨 I don't get it. 3 hours ago, Newtype06 said: I have no idea. It's an SMT spinoff flavored with cannibalism and East Asian flourishes. 3 hours ago, Newtype06 said: Who are they and why is this material cursed? Xenoblade Chronicles 2, for the full context of why its wrong XC2: Torna the Golden Country is necessary. To delve into some heavy spoilers... Spoiler Haze is an artificial being known as a Blade, like Pyra and Mythra. Except, unlike those two b/c they're the Aegis, Haze can't survive without being bound to another lifeform- their Driver. When a Driver dies, a Blade sleeps inside their Core Crystal, losing all memories of the life they just lived. They wait dormant to be awakened again once more. In Torna the Golden Country, set 500 years before the Xenoblade Chronicles 2 main story, Haze belongs to a woman named Lora, with whom she is as close as sisters. Amalthus is a blue old man of a species that lives for a very long time. He also has absolute control over the church in XC2, and he is evil. He is responsible for Lora's murder, and then he stole Haze's crystal. He woke her up, gave her a new name, and broke her crystal, attaching half of it to himself. By doing this, Amalthus stole some of Haze's power and became a "Blade Eater". The problem with that, is that this means that Haze can now die forever which Blades usually can't, and she does get killed. Amalthus in his endgame boss battle, also happens to grow tentacles. To not be so spoilery and more general. Pretend an evil scheming old man murdered your beloved sister, captured you and gave you total amnesia, symbiotically bound you to him -and in the case of this horrible doujin- proceeded to ravish you. I mean, for Haze herself it might (I am NOT going to look this up!) not be too bad because amnesia, but for us IRL who know her past- yikes!

I know this is from forever ago for this topic, as in "yesterday", but commenters have suggested it isn't Igavania. It's "Classicvania", Circle of the Moon, not Ritual of the Night. Having a timer in the upper right corner makes no sense for an Igavania, but for an old school action-platformer a timer is old-timey. 3 hours ago, Saint Rubenio said: I can sell Three Houses. ...or, trade it in for another game, which raises the value a little. Since I bought 3H at Carrefour, this would actually net me a profit of roughly 10 bucks, a nice consolation prize for all I suffered with this game... Provided the game I trade it in for is enjoyable. ngl I saw Metroid Dread there and it seemed like a great option. Will have to consider this further. Are you sure the enjoyment won't be from watching us watch you say "third time ain't the charm, the franchise sure ain't for me"? Choose wisely, you needn't entertain us.

GuardianSing Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 With all this Three Houses talk I decided to finally buy the game.

Lightcosmo Posted August 5, 2022 Share Posted August 5, 2022 So I just Spoiler Seen Mio revealed as "M" And that "N" was stuck in a loop where Mio and him were separated, causing him to go crazy and side with Moebius in hopes for Eternity with her.
