    shadow hearts is the fuckin' bomb

    So far it sure is an early-ass PS2 jurp!

    It's wayyyyy better than Koudelka for sure though so after that atrocious gauntlet anything would be a breath of fresh air.

    i actually never played the first shadow hearts

    I'm only like an hour into it. Guy is haunted by something that compels him to save this girl, who is being targeted by Evil Roger Bacon for some reason.

    The sort-of Persona-ish hook to the magic system seems pretty cool, but the reflex wheel thing sure is more annoying than compelling.

    but yeah my main concern is losing a place to talk about smaller games like arden's visual novel I linked yesterday that wouldn't necessarily warrant their own thread, and also aren't on steam

    I guess I could make a miscellaneous indie games thread

    Make a games journalism thread, a food thread, and a persona thread and a wrong opinions thread and an insomnia thread and we got this thing covered. I am aware we have most of these threads already.

    No I don't.

    So this new Star Wars ipad game, which I assume is approved by Disney, has Dark Troopers in it.

    yeah shadow hearts 2 is a direct sequel to the first so it features enough backstory that i know the gist of the first one

    shadow hearts 3 is about a spunky photographer helping a native american woman save the united states of america from malice

    but then thinking about it why bunch every smaller game into one thread

    it's not like all threads need to go a full 100 pages, if kindness coins facilitates a nice five page discussion and that's it then sure why not

    the escalation of insanity for your party members in each successive shadow hearts is something that no other franchise has duplicated

    Well, this may be ironic, but because their mod staff sucks at keeping thing nice like around here.

    Tube if you feel like it could you tell us why the change? If not, fair enough.

    There's a few thread characteristics we try to avoid
    1. Recurring excessively
    2. Being home to users who don't post anywhere else (particularly if it's a point of pride
    3. Containing a lot of treehousing

    Which are true of this thread to at least some extent. It's not really punitive though, I just think the thread could do with a break. I don't think it's ever had one, and I can recall specifically excluding this thread when we last locked a bunch of megathreads. I believe they still have a thread in G&T, although you'll have to, you know, talk about Giant Bomb in it.

    I love the giant bomb thread but I think that some frequently recurring threads really benefit from breaks.

    A lot of the other threads here focus on games/sports/media I am not nearly deep into enough to keep any sort of conversation going, so I stick to the generic general ones

    which makes me realize what a boring person I am

    Do we have a Rune Factory thread?

    Because if we don't, I'm probably going to make one when I start playing it

    nope. up until this month really the only two people that had played it were myself and ronnie.

    That's kinda sad. I put approximately a million hours into Harvest Moon 64 and like 80 into Frontier before I got sick of Runey maintenance

    But quite a few more people seem to be playing it now

    But then we don't need to make super game-specific threads, either

    It can just be a Jurp thread! We can talk about the Xenoblades and the Rune Factories and the Personas....?

    Maybe

    I'd post in a jurp thread. Right now I'm playing Persona 3 Portable and Rune Factory 4. Persona has its hooks sunk deeper into my soul though.

    Better than my best Far Cry 3 outpost clearing.

    That consisted of me sitting in a bush patiently working out how to get around undetected when I suddenly heard a guy scream "Tiger!" and then thirty seconds later the "Outpost Cleared!" thing popped.

    Go team.

    Everyone stop being friends with Death of Rats when the thread ends ok

    Marty: The future, it's where you're going?
    Doc: That's right, twenty five years into the future. I've always dreamed on seeing the future, looking beyond my years, seeing the progress of mankind. I'll also be able to see who wins the next twenty-five world series.

    Every outpost clearing in Far Cry 3, near the end of the game, devolved into "find a good position to snipe people with my bow"

    I still really liked it

    But I felt like I was cheating because I never used my knife unless I consciously made an effort to

    While I can see your point (and I do have a small handful of friends), my friends live at least 4 hours away, I live in the middle of nowhere, and I'm financially stuck in this area. I have no way to meet new people here, so I'm really not kidding when I say this makes me sad. I enjoy this thread being able to fill that hole where my social life use to be.

    But I have an appointment with my doctor next month to see if I can't get something going for the depression. So I am working on it.

    No I don't.
