    Your best accidental successes?

    "Super Robot Wars", short: SRW. The full name of the game is "Super Robot Wars Original Generation: The Moon Dwellers". Not that important though, the only part one needs to know is that the game is Fire Emblem with Mechs, like I wrote in the OP. To make a short story even shorter: I killed...

    Your best accidental successes?

    What it says in the title pretty much. What where the best or funniest instances of you succeding per accident or in a funny, not really intended way? My most recent one was when I was playing SRW OG: Moon Dwellers. The game is basically Fire Emblem with Mechs, so your unit consists of steel...

    Story conveyed through game design - Your Examples?

    Pretty much what it says in the title. What are your favorite examples of story in video games that was also or only conveyed to the player through game mechanics or design? Do you have an idea for a connection that no game has ever done before (or done right)? For example, I always think...

    Fun Vampires

    Generally, meaning it applies to all games, the time needed to restart a challenge after you failed it. Ideally, after you failed a specific challenge (boss fight, minigame etc.) a litte window would pop up asking you if you want to retry or not. Games that give you a game over, making you...

    Any games like Criminal Girls?

    I would recommend "7th Dragon III - Code VFD". The Bosses are not immune to most status effects, and if you don't debuff them, they will destroy you. What I also like is that most boss battles are not wars of attrition, because the bosses don't have that much health, they just hurt like crazy...

    Explain the appeal of Harem Anime

    This isn't about anime, more about commenting. Of course you are allowed to give your opinion. It just isn't very helpful. "I don't now much about it and I don't like it" is a perfectly valid opinion to hold, it just isn't of any use in a thread specifically asking for what people like about...

    Explain the appeal of Harem Anime

    ...Then why even post on this thread? So you come in, state your (according to you) uninformed opinion, and if someone corrects you they are "thin skinned", and weird for thinking just a litte about the topic of the threat? 'Aight. Shine on you crazy diamond.

    Explain the appeal of Harem Anime

    I won't deny that a certain niche of the anime industry at the time is gear toward otakus and their money similar to freeware games and whales, but that doesn't mean that every harem show automatically falls into that category. I don't watch most harem shows or moeblob anime, because a lot of...

    Explain the appeal of Harem Anime

    Well, like others have eluded to before in this thread, a harem anime is all about the women, not the protagonist. Unlike what half of this tread (and the usual suspects at that) will have you believe, most people watch these shows not because they themselves want to be surrounded by beautiful...

    I've finally fallen fellow Escapists...

    You know what? Instead of feeling ashamed, you should feel grateful that you live in a country where you CAN purchase these. A lot of Anime stuff never even comes out officially where I live.

    I've finally fallen fellow Escapists...

    Ugh, not this again. Most men in Japan are more accepting of simulated, synthetic relationships because they work so much they lack the time, energy and money for a real one. They KNOW it isn't real, but they accept the simulation because it is far easier and cheaper to obtain and maintain than...

    Thoughts about Pokemon and Discovery

    Well yes. My point was that more people do it nowadays than before, and this is part of the reason why they don't enjoy games as much as before. Of course I know you can avoid information before release, I just wanted to know if people agree that knowing too much of a game beforehand can be...

    A hopefully non-controversial thought on character diversity in media.

    Well yes, the lack of diverse creators is another reason. Doesn't negate my point, most topics have more than one single reason for their existence. On another note, is it "sometimes" or "usually" because the creators are white? Those two kinda negate each other.
