Video Game General 2: Definitive/Remastered Edition

@Mikey
My ps2 discs work pretty well. Tho Ive used emulators more often these days.

I just got off a game of Civ 6 with friends. Somehow the host spawned right next to a city state and before he could start his turn, the city state planted their city, screwing him out of a great first city. I’ve never seen a city-state planting a city before the end of the first turn.

@Dustcan
But AI aren’t suppose to move before the player. That’s what so baffling.

Most of the copies I’ll buy are scratched?

@Background Pony #B620
Well if people don’t take care of them yeah. PS2 discs were easily scratched from what I remember.

After a bit more achievement hunting, I still have like 40 more to get in Slay the Princess.

Thank God this isn’t like The Letter, where even running fast forward to skip everything means a playthrough still takes 20 minutes and after a while you just get 1 or so achievement a run. No, even now I can get multiple pet run and each pass only takes like, 10-15 minutes.

That and the game is still so good that I’m happy to see all the variations I haven’t unlocked yet.

OK, but having 2-3 copies of the same game have trouble working isn’t normal. I think I’m just unlucky.

Through a series of circumstances, I am now able to play Persona 4.

@Dustcan
Breaking News: PErsona fan actually plays Persona for the first time

@Dustcan
i hope you find it mid.

@Dustcan
who is your best princess?

Why won’t GTA 5 target cats when you try to shoot them?

Finally got more fan games running on my Steam Deck. The Mega Man X8 Demake is fantastic

Jokes on you, thanks to delusion and the sunk cost fallacy I will say it’s good even if it proves it’s not.

I’m not sure how to qualify “best” in this case.

On the one hand, Tower is best in the sense that she both canonically forces the player character to reenact the moment in this clip from 20:00 to 20:55 (NSFW) against their will, and also canonically makes me do it IRL completely willingly.

On the other hand, thanks to anime rotting my brain I like Razor being a yandere. It’s hilarious how your first meeting with her is an extended back and forth routine of her telling you to come closer, you telling her “No, that’s a bad idea because you’ll kill me” and all your voices saying “Yes it’s a bad idea. She’ll kill you so don’t do it”.

On the Stranger’s third hand, you get routes where it’s not about the princess herself but the extremely well written path it takes. Like if you play your cards right, you and Happily Ever After realize she’s just a shallow cipher for you to imprint on and your love is fake, but because of that she can grow into a real person and you can have a real moment between the 2 of you. Or if you save the Den after meeting an initial dainty Princess. This very specific, multi-chapter long development between the 2 of you is gold material where after multiple murder and betrayal attempts, you just collapse together in exhaustion after finally putting you animosity behind you and working to save each other.

It’s a copout, but it’s hard to say which is the “best” because comparing which is best about them is comparing apple and oranges.

@Dustcan
Have you encountered the Thorn yet?

Up to the final boss of Antonblast, and I don’t think I’ll be able to beat it.

Yes.

@Dustcan
Was hoping you didn’t and she would become your favorite.

Neat.

@Dustcan
I imagine Issac Clarke being the 4th Member as the role of “Bad Luck Filled Butt Monkey”.

@CaptainXtra

In BL2, this little detail bothered me:

Why are Combat Engineers…

…more numerous than actual dedicated Soldiers amongst the Armed Human Forces of Hyperion?

Wouldn’t Combat Engineers be a specialist class instead of a common grunt?

I guess that’s Handsome Jack just being Handsome Jack…

@CaptainXtra
IIEC most of the Hyperion locations in BL2 were either labs or R&D buildings, so it probably makes more sense as to why the combat engineers outweigh the actual soldiers.

@Icicle Niceicle 1517
Also with loaders making up the lions share of their forces engineers make even more sense,
