    My sister told me about that show and I didn't believe it existed until she started pulling YouTube clips. And even then I wasn't completely sure.

  • TallahasseerielTallahasseeriel Registered User regular
    Well the name of the show sounds like a goddamn joke.

    I'm trying to think of a time I missed something more critical to my enjoyment of a game

    Maybe in the later megamans when I didn't write down what colors the password bubbles were

    Like if your were to ask me for a made up name for a reality TV show for like a mad libs or something I give it a 50-50 chance of being "Amish Mafia"

    The first time I saw Amish Mafia, a guy was sneaking into a meth lab with an assault rifle, then blew it up

    and I lost it

    I honestly am still not sure if it was a "real" reality show or a mockumentary or what

    Pop icon and knock-out home renovator Vanilla Ice ditches his high tech power tools and moves to Amish country to learn the lost art of hand craftsmanship. Go inside the largest Amish settlement in the U.S. as a group of young men and women help him tackle construction projects ranging from kitchen additions to traditional barn raisings — all without nails and screws. He’ll earn his keep working on the farm as he learns to embrace the simpler life and become fully immersed in the unique culture that has been isolated from the rest of the world.

    I'm pretty sure it's the former. I think I saw a developer diary about it a little while ago.

    Late to this conversation but,

    I can't stand permanently missable shit in games where there is no way you would be able to find it on your own. That is legitimately the worst thing. It doesn't anything to the game.

    I still haven't finished Tales of Vesperia because of that. It's like the game pulled the proverbial football away before you could kick it.

    Also points of no return are only ok if they are super explicit about when they are going to happen. Straight up popping up a textbox with "hey you can't come back if you ride this elevator" or whatever is the best way to do them.

    Vanilla Ice was on Rachel vs. Guy this season too.

    I'm pretty sure he made vanilla ice cream at some point. So you know, he's used to going out on a limb.

    He's following the Patrick Stewart brand of acting in being on a cult scifi show, a Shakespearean stage actor, and doing video game voice work in the middle.

    I'm okay with this.

    Well yeah those. And the missable special moves, and the costumes, and items, and skits. There's so much dumb shit you can permanently miss in ToV it's insane.

    And none of it is really required to beat the game or anything, but knowing that I've missed it because I wasn't checking a guide after doing literally anything killed my enthusiasm for that game.

    tales games are full of miss-able stuff because you're encouraged to play through the game multiple times

    of course, that model is kind of ridiculous now that I'm an adult

    but I was perfectly happy to play through tales of symphonia 3 times in a row when I was a teenager

    I'm the guy that played FF8 only drawing magic to use, never using physical attacks (I have magic why would I punch anyone???) and using my Guardian Force summon attacks constantly instead of keeping them junctioned. This made boss battles literally last hours and hours and hours and hours whilst I did shit for damage.

    i wasn't around when it was talked about but i could see maybe

    MAYBE

    liking Superstar Saga more than Mario RPG

    the other mario and luigi games just haven't grabbed me at all. Partners in Time was straight-up butts, I don't remember anything about my time playing bowser's inside story, and Dream Team made me turn it off and uninstall it in frustration after an hour straight of tutorials and kindergarten-level puzzle-solving

    Is it just me, or does it seem like Chincy is learning something new about FE:A on every page that everyone already knew? Like, my reaction to the whole thing was basically:

    "I missed Kellam."

    Wait, isn't that a tutorial mission?

    "I don't look at the bottom screen."

    I...what?

    "Wait, you can save in multiple slots?"

    Okay, that's it! I'm out!

    I would say Mario RPG is better than Partners in Time and Super Paper Mario. Maybe Bowsers Inside Story.

    But yeah, I would take either of the other two Paper Marios or Super Star Saga over it anyday.

    I really need to get around to playing Dream Team.

    Pretty much!

    I also don't think "but its always been like that" is really a defense of the game not explaining something, but yeah I missed the recruitment tutorial

    Now that I know how saves work I'll give it one more shot
