I was mostly referring to the old FF/DQ style of random battle. The only implementation of random battles I've liked is Pokemon. I hate them otherwise- I find them frustrating.

Try playing Goldeneye multiplayer with 4 people now.
i don't see how it would be any different, it would still be Goldeneye. does it have a bad framerate? because i can play games that dip into the single digits without issue.
It's still fun.

I encountered a game-ending bug. Yay.
I usually feel the need to finish things off, so I had to do it (ie: restart).
The game that was supposed to be reminiscent of CT, yes. Please don't play it. Good intentions, horrible execution.
I don't really have an issue with random battles either. Unless I'm playing something like Black Sigil, Hoshi wo Miru Hito, Beyond the Beyond, or some other lower-budget RPGs. Dragon Quest and FFs after the NES have better random battle frequency; you don't really encounter stuff all that often, imo. That's why I find it kinda mindblowing when people say that FF6's random battle frequency is high. :lol
Even a game without random encounters like Last Rebellion has a ridiculously high monster respawn rate (and when they give chase, they don't stop chasing you; you have to fight them). So it isn't the randomness that's the problem for me. It's the frequency.
Never said it wasn't, but it is dated as fuck.

I think you guys should actually try and play Goldeneye multiplayer with 4 people now.
It's fun. The point of a game is to provide entertainment. It still succeeds admirably.
Again, I never said it isn't entertaining. I'm not exactly sure what you're getting at.

Still do it to this day with that and PD. (The latter is because I don't own a 360 for the updated port, and my buddies are usually to lazy to even bring controllers, let alone an entire console.)

I can still play perfect Dark in multiplayer complete with bots everywhere and the frame rate slipping into a world of horror, it's a small price to pay for such good stuff.
Funnily enough while the 360 version solves the framerate problem it made the bots stupidly good even on lower difficulties and death feels far swifter, it was pretty disappointing.
Goldeneye multiplayer hasn't quite managed so well but Archives is still an awesome stage I think we can all agree.

Y'know, I probably should've reread what I posted three years ago. I completely forgot I slighted SMB3 in there.

Considering the Mega Man thread got the comic preview, let's do the same in this thread.
Hey remember when we were talking about the significance of Mighty?
Hey remember when we were talking about the significance of Mighty?
Writer: Ian Flynn
Art: Terry Austin & Various
Cover Art: Tracy Yardley & Various
Endangered Species, Part Two. Sonic and Team Fighters cant retake Albion on their own. Who can help turn the tide? Knuckles, thats who! Knuckles confronts old enemies and old hardships all at once to save the last of his people. And is it a good or a bad thing the mysterious Thrash the Tasmanian Devil has arrived?
Writer: Ian Flynn
Art: Jim Amash & Various
Cover Art: Stephen Downer & Various
All For One, Part Two. The Chaotix are on the hunt for the missing Mighty and Ray, and their investigation takes them to the heart of enemy territory! With the Mercian Freedom Fighters at their side, will they find the vital clue they need? Or will Lord Hood claim more prisoners for his dungeon?
Looking up the definition of spinoff will explain what Yoshi's Island is.
Stop telling me lies.
Stop telling me lies.
Haven't seen Thrash since he was introduced in Knuckles' SU arc a good three years ago. And he was just... there, at the time, wasn't fleshed out at all. IIRC Ian's said this story kept getting pushed back.
And speaking of stuff that was set up in that Knuckles arc, it's nice to see the Mighty/Ray story finally happen, and it looks like Mercia's set to get some long overdue development.
Then the tie-in issues happen, and Mega Man/Sonic is coming shortly thereafter. It's gonna be a while before we get any major plot points wrapped up.

If you bought me Platinum I could make a fair judgement of 4th gen :3

I haven't gotten the Knuckles SU volume yet. Perhaps I should before reading this in December. Was that still around the time when he was cleaning up the mess that the other writers left?
Wonder how the Mega Man and Sonic tie-in came up. I would've thought they'd try for something like that in the event that the Mega Man comic established itself for a few years. Obviously they're at the mercy of Sega when it comes to tie-in stuff.
I almost want to revise my list and put an FF game on it, but I don't want to kick anything out right now. :/

I definitely remember you bringing him down.
Point 1 agreed, point 2, well you already know, maybe you'll come around with the sequels and we can all laugh together.
I figured you were a fan, turns out I got swerved with a DMC3/Ninja Gaiden position.
Not that there's anything wrong with that.
Oh, I said that because of a few things Billie has told me, not because of the choice of White. Hey, at least i'm hyping it in my avatar!
Nocturnowl

Oh me and my misinterpreting, hmm I guess you are hyping it, question is how long can it last before you inevitably get the urge to switch?
I'll probably switch shortly after it comes out, or just remove the 2. I'm mainly getting 2 for the endgame content and not the actual game itself.

Am I the only one trumpeting AA1 then? it's a one man parade.
It's quite funny seeing how many lists here have quite a fair amount of cross over in choices.

Hey, I put AA3 on my list too. Where's my love
What about me?
Sorry! You're on the awesome list now, too!
AA1 is really good, but the finality and resolution of AA3 is just so amazing. The last few minutes in the courtroom in Case 5 rocked me to my core.

AA1 is fantastic, but I found AA3 to have the overall stronger cases. Wraps up the trilogy amazingly, as well.

I was pretty late to the party with the AA games and played them in 2010. I dunno. There are things I like about all of them. It's hard to pick a favourite.
I fully blame DMC3A (SE) for making me desire difficulty settings in everything, tbh. It ultimately affected my current playstyle in a lot of games in general, and that's why I added it in there. I think that was the first time I started thinking of frames and cancels and timing and animations and whatever.
That's cuz Mighty's never ever mentioned anywhere. Except the comics.
I was really close to putting an FF game in the Top 20, though. This is why I needed a Top 20. -_-

Sonic fans aren't in a position to tell DKC fans what has and hasn't aged well.

It's so close but 1-5 really puts the first over for me, even though it's not actually in the original GBA version.
He's mentioned in my heart and that's what evidently doesn't count.
We all need a top 20 and even then, it's hard.I was really close to putting an FF game in the Top 20, though. This is why I needed a Top 20. -_-

I meant to finally get around to DMC3 this year with the HD collection but I guess it's still on the backburner, always good to have a list of yet unplayed classics.
Now now, lets not start anything, just smile and nod when trial and error comes up...in a Sonic thread.Sonic fans aren't in a position to tell DKC fans what has and hasn't aged well.
Okay i'm done, playing Sonic like a reckless fool is how I like it anyway.

And this is how far it gets you when you try to recapture the magic of jumping on 90's-era CGI crocodiles on the Genesis.
I fucking lose it everytime I hear that scream effect
i meant to grab this quote earlier re: YI as a Mario, but here we go:
"SM: When we first made Yoshi's Island, we considered it part of the Mario series. After that, the Yoshi series continued on its own. As developers, do we consider it to be part of the core Mario series? The answer is yes."

DKC2 is godlike
DKC3 is pretty good, if SUPER fuckin' gimmicky and too many collectibles
DKC1 has nice production values and not much else

Sounds like the Super Mario Bros coin room from All Stars.
I pretty much agree with this but will add that DKC1 has pretty nice flow in most stages.
