Wanting to make your game difficult.

If a game is too easy then it's boring, and I don't know anyone who plays videogames to bore themselves. It's not like every game has to be utterly murderous, but you should at least have to do more than just spam normal attacks to get by.

That Final Stretch

My favorite last dungeon is FF10's because I got so annoyed of the battles that I ran away from every single one, then I fought the really dumb last boss and remembered why I always play the first half of FF10 and then stop.

That said, the last dungeon was built up pretty well and would have been mad climactic without all those goddamn random battles. Also the music during the last boss fight is so unbearably SLIPKNOT, which is a shame because the music during the last Seymour fight (listen) is pretty neat.

squaresoft whyyyy

(Xenosaga 3 comes in a close second where I avoided as many battles as I could and when I did get in one I ended it instantly with the game-breaking combination of Erde Kaiser Sigma and the accessory that makes everything cost 1 MP. I also beat the final boss in two turns, and one of those was just a buff to make sure it would die. gg monolith soft)

So yeah my game only has six dungeons and the first five are more like primers for the last one than anything else. The last dungeon really is supposed to be the focus of the game, because that's when you have access to all of your characters' skills and enough equipment to outfit all of your characters properly and all that jazz. Also like half of the game's bosses are in that dungeon. The idea is that it's supposed to be, more than anything else, unquestionably the last dungeon (i.e. climactic, brutally difficult, finally tying some things together).

It's worth noting that my game is more dungeon crawler-y than a traditional JRPG though, and that it's not very long. So if my last dungeon was in your average 40-hour Final Fantasy or whatever it would probably be pretty bad. But like the guy above said, the same setup won't work for every game/story/etc.

Badly written and acted cutscenes to boot
No really, this sounds like nitpicking. I didn't have a single problem with the cutscenes.
how

oh and as bad as the sexism is, the real reason Other M shouldn't exist is because it has two hours of cutscenes

talk about missing the fucking point

"changing a character" doesn't excuse sexism

"Has come" is present perfect tense and is definitely what you want here. "Has came" is incorrect.

Post your desktop!

"Put icons in a folder?" You mean... the start menu?
nah, something like the Random folder you're talking about, but just with all the shortcuts you'd want on your desktop anyway

which i guess is pretty similar to the start menu

speaking of the start menu, i use it to open notepad but not for anything else (similarly, i only use the address bar in firefox to go to facebook; every other site i normally visit is a bookmark)

typing all this stuff out makes me feel like i sound crazy

also: Aeon Flux is hecka sweet (well, the animated series is)

how long dose it take to get approved ???

this thread just made my day life

cho, you have a pretty sweet wallpaper...

danke schoen~

but any more than four-five icons is too much for me, personally. I only have four right now (Mister X/Random/Oblivion/Harbette (.rtf for a krazuman game)). Just like my actual, physical desktop!

i used to not be able to handle more than a few myself, though it's evolved to two columns out of necessity (if i try that thing where you put all your icons in a folder to conserve space, i end up never opening up the folder anyway)
the windows 7 taskbar helps ease my pain a little, since i can have everyday stuff like firefox and RMVX always right there
