That just means all the good waifus were taken before you got to them.

I have it downloaded and I'll play it next week when I go away on vacation and stuff with my friends.

Riiiiiiiiight after I beat AAI2... and Okami... and Xenoblade...

1: Short hair is shit. Sengoku Rance practically requires a cheat sheet every other turn just to scratch the surface of everything you can do.
2: You still see the effects, commanders with larger armies cost more power to keep active and are more effective in battles. The fact that you don't see every person in the army hardly matters when you have a troop number, and it's sure as hell a lot easier and less CPU-intensive than having to render ever single identical soldier. There's basically just a max number of sprites that'll fit on the battlefield before they start to spill off the screen, and everyone else in the army is considered to be behind them. If your numbers dwindle, you'll see the sprites on the screen drop to match.

Having played Okami, Xenoblade, and AAI1, I'd prioritize Sengoku Rance over any of them, easily.

I hear AAI2 is leagues above the first. I'll be done with it soon enough anyway.

I actually forgot I even had Rance on my laptop.

He's avoiding it due to a number of misconceptions and incorrect assumptions, which I'm trying to correct.

You get the point I was making. Long hair > Short hair, but the person with the hair can render that irrelevant if they are wonderful or shit otherwise.

What misconceptions and assumptions? All I said, in total, were:

You thought that army size was nothing more than HP, which it's not, and that the gameplay wasn't as complex as comparable games. And don't even get me started on the waifus.

I don't recall saying that first. You made the assumption based off nothing, I retorted with "who knows, maybe Total War is more complex", and that was it.

So me and a friend was playing this lil game called Battleblock theater and we found it to be fun and hilarious especially with others.

So... Mitsurugi Kamui Hikae. It certainly ain't no DMC, but it's still a good time. You can't dodge through enemy attacks and it doesn't seem like holding the guard button does much of anything, so it's either git gud at countering or git rekt. BUT HOLY FRIGGIN HELL THE LAST BOSS IS UNFAIR. I've only gotten to the second form, but my gut tells me there are more. But even still, it's unfair as all hell. What's that? You wanna close in for a hit? LOL GROUNDSWORDSPIKES. Can't jump over them because they fly up out of the ground, and she just LOVES TO SPAM IT. THREE TIMES IN A ROW AT ONE POINT. AND SHE BACKSTEPS TO DO IT. AND TRYING TO DODGE AWAY ISN'T VERY RELIABLE BECAUSE IT'S REALLY A CRAPSHOOT WITH THAT STUPID SPAM ANYWAY. AUGH.

I apologize. Turns out just running from the spikes works. Anyway, it wasn't as unfair as I claimed. I just needed to git gud. Believe me, timing is everything here. Now go play it.

So I beat AAI2 earlier today. And wow oh wow do I have a lot of compliments to throw around for it. Where do I even start.

First of all, I would like to begin with the fact I don't think there was a single case I disliked. That doesn't mean they were perfect, and a couple could really feel like they took their sweet time but they were really clever, and the best part is that not a single case was filler which is probably a first for an Ace Attorney game.

I also never thought it would be possible for me to un-hate not just one, but two characters in the fastest amount of time possible. Speaking of characters, this game had my favorite Ace Attorney villain so far, that triumphs over any villain even Trials and Tribulations had to offer. The mastermind was clever, cunning, and most of all, blunt with honesty which could make the good guys seem like bad guys to an extent. I even felt bad for the person during the breakdown. Normally you feel a massive rush of accomplishment but this marks the first time it didn't feel good, on the merit that the more I played, the somewhat-more I felt like I was the villain in a sense.

Most of all, the game is critically important to Edgeworth's development as a character, unlike the first AAI which was just murder mysteries where you play as Edgeworth. I suggest you all give this game a chance.

So I (finally) just finished Ar tonelico II.

In Cloche's ending, she asks Croix why he fell in love with her. One of the choices you can select is "I like being scolded."

If you pick it, at that point the ending devolves into Cloche yelling at him, insulting him, calling him a dog, threatening to put a leash around his neck, making him crawl on the ground on all fours, kicking him, etc.

So it's pretty much the best game ever.

I'm here for the complete opposite of this thread. I finished DmC after all this time, relatively short game. Thoughts:

by Archer Tue Sep 02, 2014 9:20 pm

Five Nights at Freddy's I think is really overrated.

In truth it's just a game that got overhyped like all the other oddball fads such as Pooh's Baseball Derby and Cookie Clicker. Given that, it's worth a shot alone on that merit but...

If I may suggest to you some other overrated flavor-of-the-week games, you might like Gone Home.

I mean, sure, it's not exactly scary... but then again neither is Five Nights at Freddy's.

Hyrule Warriors is fuuuuuuuun.
And Lana is cuuuuuuuuuuuute.

by **Leo E.** Wed Oct 22, 2014 4:13 pm

Hyrule Warriors 1.30 update added Cia, Volga, and Wizzro as playable characters and added five new chapters to Legend Mode as Cia's story.

"Darkness Falls", the last of the five chapters, is the single best chapter in the game by far. Incredibly intense and really made you feel bad for Cia.

by **Leo E.** Thu Oct 23, 2014 10:05 am

TIER LIST:

Lana is an adorable little ball of moe and broken.

Actually, the 5 new chapters are part of the Master Quest DLC. Only the characters are part of the 1.3.0 update.

Also, is there some glitch with the tome that I missed because I'd say it's high tier at best.
