Sorry, I'm not trying to specifically sell you on the game, except partially with the statement that losing geo doesn't have much impact. You just made a pretty strong carte blanche statement against the game, and I didn't want to people to be turned off of it if they didn't have an issue with...

I think that part of the reason why this is so hard is that main characters are rarely the most interesting character in their story. I'd even have trouble with male characters. Typically you pick someone who's just generally cool, like Samus. That being said, I think I'd choose Chloe Price...

There's a lot of definitions of a Mary Sue, but my favorite one is "A character who doesn't actually portray the qualities the author tells the audience they have". To use 50 Shades as an example since it came up, Anastasia is a textbook Mary Sue because the author has characters tell you she's...

Let's see if my choice got any mentions... I can get why this can be frustrating, but that's a little dramatic of a response to one aspect of the game. I'm also pretty sure you can't lose hours of work from one death. You almost always gain something. If you spend an hour exploring an area...

There's a lot to choose from (I'm waiting for some Xenoblade Chronicles to find its way into this thread), but for visibility I'll just go with this one: This is probably one of my favorite soundtracks, and I've been trying unsuccessfully for a while to find a complete piano arrangement...

Nah, it's quite good. It does a number of things better than I've ever seen from any other game. It manages to make a massive world that doesn't feel horribly empty and devoid of interest like I felt from Skyrim. Also its expansions managed to both be better than the base game. Wouldn't fall...

I don't think it's necessarily bad if they have a bit of Dormin sealed in them. The Colossi were supposed to be sympathetic in SotC as well, and they had Dormin trapped in them. Personally I like it better when there's a reason that the horned boys are taken, as opposed to it just being mindless...

Nothing is said definitively, but Dormin always speaks with several voices, making me think that he's a collection of many beings. It's very strongly implied that Wander is the progenitor of the horned boys from Ico, and... Though it could also be a result of him being "tainted" by...

This one doesn't really seem like much of a problem to me. At this point in time, Wander is still in control of his body, and Dormin's powers seem to be making him like a zombie. Wander's body got more resilient the more colossi he defeated, and the more of Dormin's essence got inside of him. It...

I'll second Shadowrun Dragonfall and Hong Kong. You said you don't like strategy games, but neither of them are super heavy on strategy. It's more like an RPG where you control your party, with some positioning. The story and characters in both are great. By the look of the games you've played...

As long as people keep making these threads, it will never die EDIT: By the way, I'm assuming this is something other people noticed, what happened to the "Quoted" inbox? I noticed that I haven't been getting notifications when someone replies to me

I'm actually kind of curious about this. I'm quoting you, but I realize you might not know any better than I do. What kind of information would the police get out of tracing a spoofed call (As was probably done in this situation)? I know that the hollywood trope of tracing calls is inaccurate...

It seems odd that so much onus is put on civilian's response to police, instead of the other way around. I walk out of my home to see a bunch of people pointing a gun at me I'm probably going to freak out, and probably not be thinking too rationally. After the initial shock I'll probably be more...

I feel like I was drifting into a similar situation recently. I'm terrible at maintaining friendships and I got to a point where I realized that almost all of my friends had either moved away or we'd drifted apart. Not sure if it's a problem with my personality, or if it's the fact that I tend...

Yeah, Little Witch Academia was great. I really liked how they didn't fall into most of the tropes I expected them to, despite there being many opportunities. Best episode was definitely the one where she's failing all her exams. Probably the funniest anime episode I've seen in a really long...
