Racing minigames. I'm looking at you, Sly Cooper and GTA.

I didn't say I was gonna STOP. Just...drink less.

They did remake PSI and II...in Japan.

This probably doesn't count as an actual phobia but I am unnerved by the whole energy crisis thing.

I'm still pretty sure that's FFI...The FFIII screen looks like this:

You had to earn extra save files? That's some of the worst game design I ever heard. Hey, why not disable the right analog stick until you get five achievements while they're at it?

I believe Kane and Lynch had an achievement saying if you want to play as Kane, you had to be the top player. As in THE top player. Fuck that shit. Didn't Ghostbusters let you choose to replay chapters? Having one save file doesn't bug me as much when the game lets you replay each section whenever you want.

Breaking arms and legs in Arkham Asylum was the best. :heart:

Condemned 2 was pretty good until it added those ridiculous powers at the end. Took all the fun out of combat.

For that matter, every game that lasts more than a few minutes now needs autosave. All of them. If you're worried about people being saved into a corner, just give them an autosave slot and a manual save slot. I do not want to lose hours of progress because your crappy game froze or because my power suddenly went out.

Isn't your avatar FFI?

What is this game and why have I never played it?

I can't be up too late on New Year's Eve because I have to work early on New Year's Day. What bullshit.

You know I was trying to remember what the name of that game was. I'm glad you put it here because that was driving me nuts.

I think I need to resolve to drink less soda. You have no idea how hard that is going to be for me, though. God damn, just thinking about it makes me want to punch something.

The NES just plain didn't give a shit about difficulty balancing. I'm pretty sure there were no trade-ins back in the day, so if the game was too hard? Huh huh huh fuck you, kid. We got your money.

Preordered the Helghast edition of KZ3. So expensive...so worth it.

I'll be honest, I always felt Lara was a highly overrated and superficial character, and while I do give them credit for trying to take steps to remedy that, they have over a decade of bad impressions to undo in my mind, which gives me some doubts regarding my willingness to play this when it comes out. It would have to be REALLY good. Like Batman Arkham Asylum good.

So we have a thread for awesome weapons like guns and swords and such, but there are plenty of games that also include or focus entirely on just the use of your bare hands (and the rest of your body) to kick ass. Not all barehanded fighting is made equal though. Some games just feel like you're delivering a wimpy little slap, while the good ones feel like you're caving people's faces into their skulls. Post your favorite examples of badass brawling here. Any game can qualify as long as it has at least a modicum of weaponless combat and it was personally satisfying for you. Weapons like brass knuckles or mech fists are acceptable, but swords and daggers are not.

Hell yes I agree with Kefka. Awesome final boss. It's just too bad that he became laughably easy if you knew a few cheap tricks.

I was just reminded of another one. Some of these new games (RDR) have realistic skeletons or whatnot in their characters so their movements aren't just canned animations. That's fine and all, but when you get knocked down by something, does it have to take a fucking fortnight to stand back up?
