Planescape: Torment

Y'know, I'm gonna buy that. Like right now.

I'll generally start at the medium difficulty unless one of my friends is nearby and tells me to play it on the hardest difficulty.

A pet peeve of mine is games that don't let you change the difficulty once you start a game. So if normal turns out to be too easy, you're screwed.

The Eleventh Doctor is cool.

Though I admit that it's kinda a bummer when you got one game where the challenge is part of the fun, and then the sequel is a lot easier.

Like the transition from Jedi Outcast to Jedi Academy.

I think I'm gonna buy again Jedi Outcast if it goes on sale. Seriously, that game has the best lightsaber combat ever.

The Tales Series game are nice about that. And while the Kingdom Hearts games usually don't let you switch it up, re:coded did.

Though, I've started to notice that the Kingdom Hearts games have started downshifting their difficulty some. Like, re:coded's Critical doesn't feel quite as hard as the first game's Expert mode.

@mars most Final Fantasy main villains (especially Kefka, Kuja and Vayne). The villains in Metal Gear Solid (especially Liquid Snake). The Combine Advisors. Dr Robotnik. Albert Wesker. Alexia Ashford. The Origami Killer. Shang Tsung.

The only games I've ever started on the hardest difficulty from the start are the Halo series, because Legendary difficulty is a blast, and I hate stepping down in difficulty after the previous game when they play so similarly.

I never played Jedi Outcast, but I played the original Dark Forces, and I played Academy. Dark Forces was such a great FPS for its time, and I loved the combat in Academy. So much. The lightsaber styles there put Force Unleashed to shame in terms of depth.

@Enlong You're gonna tell me he's your favourite character of all time aren't you? -_-

@Ginger:

That is not my point. No one in this conversation is trying to make you feel bad. We (well, they, anyway) are just trying to talk about what makes games fun, and what you are doing by making yourself feel insulted is discouraging people from talking. Your habit of taking everything personally is strangling the conversation.

And that is making me feel so frustrated that I have abandoned the use of contractions in my sentences so that you can see ~~that I am being a silly overexaggerating doodlehead~~ how serious this is.

Can you tell me who you are? Can you tell me where I am?

I've forgotten how to see. I've forgotten if I can.

I finished Painkiller on harder setting just to get that Prison level. It fun with healing checkpoint (but at least health pack souls are finally useful). Someday I will play on that higherst setting.

I never played any game with highest setting, it's to frustrating, even in favorite series, Freespace I only played few level on Insane difficulty.

#221987 Pannic Tue, 12th Jun '12 12:33:18 PM

I've been playing Thief on the highest difficulty because I love the added objectives. For example, in the third level, at the base difficulty you're supposed to break into a tomb and steal this fancy horn. But on the higher difficulties you also have to locate two gemstones, and getting to those gemstones and solving the puzzles and avoiding the traps were so much fun.

@Lurker Oh good, I'm not the only person in the world who still likes Halo.

The Eleventh Doctor is cool.

#221989 marston Tue, 12th Jun '12 12:35:55 PM from America

@Purple: I still like Halo too. I even found a couple neat pony images involving Halo.

#221990 Perpetual Lurker Tue, 12th Jun '12 12:36:39 PM

@Purple I've been with Bungie since Marathon (which I still can't recommend enough, and it's free, so PLAY IT), so Halo is a perfect fit for me.

I liked Halo. Then Reach happened. So, yeah.

@Bad Reach was awesome! What was wrong with it?

#221994 Purple Dalek Tue, 12th Jun '12 12:38:01 PM from the Moon

@Bad What did you think was so bad about Reach? I just thought it was so-so.

The Eleventh Doctor is cool.

#221995 kegisak Tue, 12th Jun '12 12:38:05 PM

@Bad: Well that might explain my distaste for the series, reach being the only one I've played. It was... alright, just overall pretty meh in my opinion.

#221996 Enlong Tue, 12th Jun '12 12:38:45 PM from The Magitek Holyland

@Ginger: No. Certainly not. Definitely not a major favorite overall, or within the work itself. Even within the work, Simon was a better character overall, with more development and a stronger character arc.

I couldn't tell you who my favorite character of all time is, but it's not him. Certainly not.

That being said, I didn't hate him, so I think I should stop this train of conversation because it can't be reconciled and I don't want you to get the impression that I am or am trying to be against you.

Halo is a pretty prime example of something suffering from Hype Backlash. For myself, I played the original and liked it plenty, though I did notice the common criticism of the lackluster interior level designs.

Music's awesome, though.

#221998 Badwolfwho Tue, 12th Jun '12 12:40:09 PM from Stardust Road

Well I read Fall Of Reach when it first came out and Bungie makes all these claims that the storyline was really important. Then they released Reach and basically said that yeah those books that they released didn't really happen, were pointless and were a waste of my money. So I don't care about Halo anymore since they evidently don't.

@Death: Nope. Well, barely, but it's really hard to find pony versions of the RVB cast, or at least it's hard to find GOOD pony versions of them. Although I did find a neat image with Caboose cheering upon seeing Derpy Hooves pop out of a box {It was drawn by Johnjoseco}.

Yeah, if you put things on a pedestal before you even get to pay them , then of course they're going to be disappointing. Each game has some pretty glaring flaws, though I'm really good at ignoring flaws, so I'm a bit weird.

@Bad I read Fall Of Reach, and the game really didn't retcon very much. At all. In any case, novelizations are always a "canon, unless shown otherwise" situation in any game. This is nothing new.
