I didn't know this Joakim thing was such a big deal.
I will pick out some moe/anime avatar I dislike for a week if that's CG. There is no way it is, though.
After each My Little Pony thread reaching 30+ pages with consistent running around in circles of the same things being repeated as to why someone might like the show and not have personality disorders, and Hideki Kamiya's comment on Playstations All-Stars being a rip off reaching over 50 pages, I am not surprised in the least here.
People love to repeat themselves.

What the fuck at SE's investor relations slides showing metacritic scores. I didn't know whether to laugh or to be disappointed. So they had huge sales expectations for games, the retailers decided to cut the prices, and then SE had to pay back the retailers because they had to sell the games at < MSRP. Because those are shipped not sold figures. So I wonder how much those sold.
Makes sense. They were boneheaded with their previous sales forecasts in the first place.
Hubris.
And I feel immense schadenfreude right now.
For example, something I wrote in FFXIII's OT2 a long time ago:
..."cautiously optimistic about FFXIII-2"...
Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
And:
And they still continued to do this shit in FF13-2. It's like they forgot how to design a damn game! They designed their towns, but they forgot to adequately use them. They didn't necessarily feel alive (Academia and Eden may be exceptions, but I have my own issues with Academia), and they were merely there to exist as battle backgrounds.
This contrasts heavily with Sonic Unleashed's hub towns which actually felt more alive than a gosh darn RPG town. It's absolutely amazing and kind of mindblowing to me. Towns are supposed to act as tension relievers; they are not superficial by any means. That's why I liked Unleashed's towns a lot. I like the character design, I like the quest design, and I felt like they did a decent job at relieving tension whenever required. Also helps that they looked pretty and had good lighting, but I felt that they were utilized much better in a darn adventure/platforming game than an RPG. It boggles my mind, really.
As for the soundtrack... oh... oh Nocturnowl, you're breaking my heart over here.

Jokes aside, I'm incredibly inclined to agree. For stuff like The Last Remnant or some of the other HD games they've released with towns (let's extend our definition to the setpieces they used as towns (Palumpolum, Nautilus, Eden), I'm more appreciative of the towns in Unleashed and of the NPCs and sidequest in Unleashed more than any of SE's HD games. I felt like each NPC had a purpose and a personality--contrasting heavily with FFXIII-2's excuse for sidequests. 13-2's sidequests were essentially quests for the sake of quests (and I can't stand that sort of thing; same goes for some of the stuff in Tales of Xillia as well), while I felt that Unleashed's quests at least let the player learn more about the world around them and the relationships between the NPCs.

Absolutely. They tell you it's better to stealth when scoring-wise, it's much better to go in for the kill.

Hope you guys like more Sonic CD-style remakes: http://www.sonicstadium.org/2013/03...nic-1-coming-to-android-sonic-2-also-planned/
Note that only an Android-specific site reported on it so far. It wouldn't doubt that it's coming to other platforms as well. I wouldn't doubt that this is Taxman's work either, as he said that he'd bring a build of something to GDC: https://twitter.com/CFWhitehead/status/315532267302830080

Heh anyone remember the fanmade 'fix' where you could also play as Knuckles and Tails? The person who did it, made it like a demo and it only had Green Hill, but he did really well it makes me wonder what drunk monkeys SEGA hired at the time to get this released lol.
EDIT: Sonic RACING transformed for Vita is $20, GO GET IT! Also P4G is still $30 on US PSN for this week~

I should be asleep. :lol
Regardless, those are the ones you should go for, I think. Lunar SS, to me, wasn't like the originals, so I didn't enjoy it as much but it's still an alright game. You could still go for it if you need a quick $15 to make up your $50. You could also theoretically go for Dino Crisis 1. Vanguard Bandits is a relatively decent TRPG (honestly, I haven't played it in years), but I don't find myself remembering a lot about it as I felt it was relatively shallow. The western version had troop support added, so helped alleviate the shallow feeling, but I wouldn't put among my favourite tactical RPGs despite it being alright.

Now I have a question for you guys.
My bro and I are supposed to hang out this weekend, so I want to entertain him with a lot of games. For reasons I won't get into, my brother really seems to enjoy the more colourful ones (he tends to pay more attention). Tons and tons of colour, so anything like Mario or Sonic Unleashed is certainly an option. Truly, he's a bigger Mario fan than I am, it seems.
However, I'd very much like to stick with the DS, Wii and PSP. I know the Wii has a ton of colourful stuff. I've had a lot of experience with DS and PSP games, so I have a few in mind for those... I'll more than likely have some of them put away somewhere. Oh, and he likes watching me play through platformers or puzzlers more than RPGs. Though he loved P3P and Persona 4 when I played through it while he watched. Edit: something like Ace Attorney with a lot of sprite / facial animations would be perfect if you go down that route.
But if anyone has some suggestions for the Wii, shoot me a list either here or via PM. Thanks, I appreciate it a lot.
I gave you advice last time in your thread, remember? :V

Course I do, hence why I didn't list some of those games ;3
Gracias for the recommendations tho, I wanna get DC2 as well mainly because I hear it is a precursor to RE4.
Hmm I can help with consoles but this is gonna be difficult...for Wii I'd recommend Sonic and SEGA Racing. Last Blade 1 at least is availble on Wii, dunno about 2.
AoF3 and KoF 98 was rated for Wii as well on ESRB, but I don't think it is available atm
PSP...I recommend the FF games, Maverick Hunter X is available on PSN for PSP.
NDS: Starfy and Kirby games, Mario and Luigi 3, maybe Phoenix Wright series?
EDIT: PLAY KLONOA FOR THE WII!
Punch Out! is also fun and colorful, I'd recommend TvC if he doesn't mind playing fighting games.
Metal Slug Anthology is on Wii too.

Someone went a little multiquote crazy. D:
Thing is my brother can't play games, so I generally play it while he watches. If he were to play Punch-Out!! or Wii Sports with me, I'd have to help him out with the controls and stand behind him and complete the objectives with hand-over-hand movements. Plus he can't stand for very long either.
My brother really really really doesn't like watching me play FF. The only ones he liked watching me play were FFVIII and FFX. He found FF13 and FF13-2 super-boring. Funny story: he stepped on my PS2 phat, scratching my FFX-2 disc so I had to get a new one; and when we were much younger, he unplugged my PS1 while I was saving in FF9. He looks super-bored whenever I play a SFC/SNES FF too. My feeling is that FF is a no-go. :lol
DS stuff sounds pretty good. MHX might be okay, but I've noticed that he likes the NES/SNES MM games way more.
But thanks a lot for the suggestions.
Also, PS3 isn't an option because I'm keeping it upstairs to play Asura's Wrath this weekend.
If anyone else has suggestions, please feel free to list them. Especially for Wii.
I found it to be inferior to the first, really; but if you want to get it, it's your call.
Aha, I have Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing for PS3 already. I do have Last Blade on me (I have a lot of Neo Geo stuff on Wii already, tbh). Honestly, I haven't experimented with SNK stuff with him before. I wonder if he'd like it. I have a copy of Klonoa Wii kicking around here somewhere.

If it helps MHX has a short film that he might find entertaining to watch. Assuming you've unlocked it and all, though.

If Wii Virtual Console is an option, Dynamite Headdy is a colorful, hilariously entertaining game. Monster World IV comes to mind, too.

If the PS3 was an option, I would suggest Ratchet and Clank. Well I'll still suggest Ratchet and Clank! I didn't play those other 3 systems near enough to know jack.
Play Kirby Collection, nothing beats those games in sure colorful explosion of colors, sounds, colors, brightish colors, music and of course COLOR!

The one that really makes it hit home is the "his eyes are too white" one.
I distinctly recall HUELEN trying to make a point with a graphic editor's eyedropper tool on a two-pixel-wide eye from a blurry JPG screenshot...
