Posting in a major spoilers thread

That would be suprising had that not the same writing staff not done the same shit in Chrono Trigger (Magus instead of Lavos), Xenogears (Grahf instead of Miang), Chrono Cross (Lynx instead of the Dragons) and Xenosaga (Albedo/Margulis/the Space Pope instead of Wilhelm) before it.

>>14484295

Funny how everyone got stuck on that part.

I remember when I got Sonic Heroes it was the first game I ever played that used a joystick and I didnt know how to move sonic for like an hour until my older sister managed to google the instructions.

>>14484289

A true antagonist being revealed is absolutely nothing uncommon in storytelling. I wasn't talking about revealing that zanza was a bad guy. It's revealing that literally nothing the party did mattered and was even counterproductive because the Bionis did, indeed, need to be destroyed.

I will give you that this is basically a callback to Xenogear's Deus plotline, though.

One of my favorite levels in a sonic game. I loved mania. so much fun. favorite zone overall would have to be

1. Studiopolis zone (mania)

2. Mirage Saloon zone (mania)

3. Lava reef zone (mania)

4. Water Labyrinth zone (sonic 1)

5. Egypt zone (sonic 3?)

6. flying saucer green hill zone (sonic 3?)

>I will give you that this is basically a callback to Xenogear's Deus plotline, though.

Well yeah, given that Xenoblade is pretty much a best of album of the previous games and concepts. Zanza is pretty much just twink Miang.

>>14484312

Why do people like sonic platforming? If it was like the original sonics where going fast is the goal that represents better skill id understand, but all new sonic 2Ds are no faster than super mario world, with clunky physics.

>>14484320

except*

>>14484169

I honestly thought I'd somehow bad ended the game there, given that I'd heard how bad-end prevalent the series was.

Around the beginning of Route C in NieR Automata, 2B gets infected with the logic virus and is mercy killed by A2. 9S promptly loses his shit.

>>14484470

First is the fake threat, latter is the real threat. Krelian should be in there somewhere but whatever.

>>14484169

Fighting golden Sol.

>>14484301

How old were you? That is pretty much retarded.

The barrel in Sonic 3 is "iconic" because all the puzzles in the game are solved by dashing, spinning or jumping. And the damn barrel moves according to how much weight you put into it, from how high you jump. And IT'S NOT WHAT SOLVES THE PUZZLE. Instead, you just need to press up and down on the d-pad. Completely counter-intuitive. I stopped buying Sonic games because of that single barrel in Sonic 3, as i thought at the time that the (wrong) way to "solve" it required so much precision that it was not funny, and i did not want to play that level again when replaying the game, as i did with older Sonic games.

Sega lost a consumer right there.

>>14484735

make more videos after your balls drop.

>>14484735

>that glaringly obvious aim assist

Baten Kaitos

The main character is the traitor and he betrays you, the person holding the controller

Baten Kaitos: Origins

The main character isn't in contact with a spirit (you), he's just brain damaged from being experimented on as a baby and "you" are just part of his head. It's also possible the bad guy raped his mom and is his father

Custom Robo: Battle Revolution

Clearly the reason there's no way in or out of town is because it's a video game and all the plants are artificial is for sci-fi aesthetic… right?

>>14484169

The ending of of MGS3 was pretty intense.

>>14488543

Think it's intentional that the man of glass looks like a jew?

>>14484169

Playing the Darkness. Then Holy SHIT, time travel.

>>14488539

I was able to push the Demon army back to Kyushu but it basically turned into world war 1 with basically no side ever winning.

Senator Armstrong has the honour of having the most entertaining cutscenes out of any game as well as the awesome fight itself'

>>14488201

>Custom Robo

I thought it was odd that the cast thought I was insane for saying the earth was round before the big reveal.

>>14488951

You can't really win against the demon army

If you somehow manage to the game accuses you of cheating

>>14488539

this desu

I know it's forboden to speak of it now but

>Don't get so cocky. I know what you did.

>>14490243

That's against Demon King Miki.

You can beat Xavier's demon army but the game just treats it the same as if you'd beaten him in the attrition war.

>>14490484

fuck off yoko, stop shilling your shit game that nobody liked on release

>>14488539

Having never played any of the Rance games before I tried out Sengoku, I'd say the fact that the entire premise of the game being presented as being a happy-go-lucky sex adventure with a bit of warfare and rape thrown in was utterly shattered and thus created a HOLY SHIT moment when Kou got raped. That was the moment where shit got real and I realized that Xavier wasn't a cartoony villain.

>>14490718

How much did they detail the forced breeding anyway?

>the game's about piloting a ship which can put up a shield to deflect bullets, but then one of the final bosses pulls you in a tractor field and barrages you with so many fucking bullets that your shield can't withstand it as you see your lives being drained one by one

>the pilot of the ship is dead, but instead the dormant AI of the ship core assumes total control and goes full OVERDRIVE

>the ship sprouts wings of energy, whereas the bar representing your shield energy goes aaaaaaaaaaalll the way beyond the edges of the screen because your energy is fucking infinite now

>the boss instead decides to leg it, as you pursue the boss you face the same enemy waves you faced earlier but because you are powered up they go down with much more ease

>you hunt down the boss and kill it with ease, a brief interlude then describes how the ship has hunted down 12 of the 13 alien machines which have been causing havoc, but that in the process you have been completely fucking up the earth

>the final boss is you hunting down the last machine, but two ships which are the exact same as the player ship in the previous game of this series join the fight in order to get you two to stop fighting and fucking up the Earth even more, while at the same time a remixed theme of the first stage of the previous game plays

>the ships have the same abilities as the player ships of the previous game, but they don't stand a chance against either you or the alien machine

Words cannot describe how hype this is

>>14490718

I felt like meeting the supposed god was more of a turning point. Forgot his name? Nasomethingsomething

>>14490729

Not plenty iirc. Just notes here and there about shipment and vague experimentation.

It was of course hinted that Constantine wasn't the most normal fellow, but this was fucking crazy way back when.

>>14490961

Thief has to be the best game at combining great narrative with great gameplay.

>>14488539

Repelling THE BLITZ on my first playthrough without prior knowledge was probably one of the most satisfying things I've done in a game.

>>14491894

> Considering I killed him in the first game

That actually never happens. Jacket stops choking the shit out of him just before he dies. He actually has a change of heart about the whole thing. Fascinating really.

>>14488201

>custom robo

Loved that shit, always thought it was weird but never thought there would be a reason for it.

>>14490611

>huge

>hits like a truck

>massive swings

>then he gets angry

No, nothing can

I have to say the final bose of armored core: Verdict day, I hated the game but when you realize what the final boss is, its hype as fuck.

>>14492045

Hold on…

Wasn't Heiss Stocke's uncle?

You know, with Stocke actually being Ernst, Eruca's brother, the one chosen from Granorg's royal family to be sacrificed for the sake of the world, but gets kidnaped by Heiss while he's still too young to remember to give him a new chance in life, but dooms the world in the process

It's entirely possible I'm remembering this wrong, but I'm fairly certain that's how the story went.

>>14490923

Hunty sends her regards.

My last "Holy Shit" moment was the Train Rush section in A Hat in Time. Fucking insanity was that level and I loved every minute of it.

>>14494342

Hideo Kojima is a genius to write such deep thought on politics.

>>14493925

Because he stops choking him and the color returns to Richter's face. Also because he's still alive in Hotline Miami 2. There's actually no way to kill him in the first game, the implied death was a mistake on the part of the players.

>>14495207

<he lacks reading comprehension

>>14495253

You like Kojimbo

>>14494013

Yes, it was his uncle.

In addition to that, the uncle has used his Black Chronicle multiple times, changing his appearance over time so naturally he wouldn't look like he would be related to Granorg royal family.

>>14495316

Allow me to translate both anons' thoughts behind their post:

<eheheh I'll say something stupid and pretend to believe it, I bet this will rustle someone's jimmies >>14494375

>fuck you nigger this bait is as shit as kojimbo >>14495189

And then you come in thinking the second anon likes Kojima, because you're either illiterate or have legitimate brain damage.

>>14494375

>>14495207

>>14495253

Have people forgotten what sarcasm is?

>>14495374

>>fuck you nigger this bait is as shit as kojimbo

Now you're putting your own interpretation over it. My interpretation isn't any less valid than yours.

>>14495490

>My interpretation isn't any less valid than yours

Except for the part where yours doesn't make any sense.

>>14495501

>anon leaves a clearly sarcastic remark, the implication being he thinks Kojima isn't a good writer

>second anon sees it, knows it's sarcasm, but because he disagrees with anon leaves a bait image

>>14495490

Yes it is.

>>14495589

Glad you cleared up this miscommunication, anon. Now I can get on with my morning.

>>14495573

What exactly do you think bait is you double nigger? Do you think those fags who reply to TORposters with "wow those ID dubs" are not being sarcastic while baiting?

I'm sincerely beginning to hope you're (failing at) baiting with this entire conversation as well, because otherwise I fear for your ability to continue breathing without machine assistance.

>>14495626

>Do you think those fags who reply to TORposters with "wow those ID dubs" are not being sarcastic while baiting?

Do you legitimately believe everybody on here is sincerely just trying to bait one another all the time

>>14495700

didn't you get the memo anon? they're all merely pretending. none of them are actual newfags and retards. and we absolutely never get any legitimate shills here either.

I find it how fascinating a thread goes to shit the moment Kojima is brought up.

>>14495951

It'll pass.

>>14484193

>Complaining about spoilers

>>>/cuckchan/

>>14508597

Especially for old ass games from the PS1-2 era. I have to have a laugh at people who get spoilered about games they should have long since played and beaten.

>>14508597

>>14508605

This, if you haven't already played the classics you deserve to get spoiled.
