On the topic of games that hold your hand, I prefer games that are between FFXI (where trying to do everything without a guide would be an absolute nightmare) and FFXIV (get quest, use map, do thing, all spelled out). Too many games that try to buck the trend of being stupidly linear end up pushing cryptic garbage that require a community to decipher, but I'll occasionally overlook both if the gameplay is good enough.
I agree that balance is key. Though as a person who identifies as an Explorer in the Bartle Taxonomy, I err towards the FFXI end of things when I can't find said happy medium. I would much, much prefer bashing my head into a wall 50 times if it meant every time was a step closer to a goal than to essentially watch a long movie with a controller in my hand.

Yeah. It's just really bad when the cryptic games have missable items. There's nothing I hate more than having to constantly look at a 100% guide so that I don't miss anything. It's the main reason that I have trouble summoning the willpower to complete the last few Final Fantasy games that I have yet to beat.

Even with guides I failed to 100% both FFX-2 and FFXII.

I'm OK with hidden stuff, even missable stuff. As long as it doesn't strongly impact my ability to complete the game. Not seeing the proper ending to X-2 because I missed talking to Yuna at the very start of the game and not realizing it until the final mission really hurt. Especially since my obsessive-compulsive *** grinded every Job Sphere to Master.

FFX-2 is notoriously horrible about its requirements to get 101%. Tiniest things will *** you over.

No clue what treasure I missed.

I accidentally clicked a button to speed up the long speech from that old man and it cost me the 100%. I ended up using Action Replay to fix that, but still....

I started a perfect game of X-2 once, a long time ago, never made it off the first section of the game, just so much to do...

The thing i like about Elden Ring is, it gives you something to do around every corner while still giving you a direction to run in to continue the "main story" (which, for a FromSoft game, basically just means the highest concentration of NPCs and world/world level altering events). It's kind of like BotW except the things you can do in Elden Ring are far more varied, interesting, and rewarding. I don't know if I prefer it over the standard Souls layout of a hub with numerous layered, branching areas around it but I don't dislike it at all. 100% agree with the 9/10 and 10/10 ratings.

I'm enjoying exploring the map a lot, I haven't killed the first boss yet, margit the fell omen, but I did kill the undead boss in a boat and discovered what has to be the best place to grind runes early. It's made exploring Limgrave so much easier because if I get killed, I probably didn't have a lot of runes, maybe not even enough to justify going back for.

To be fair, it was on Final Fantasy V played via VBA Emulator on PC so I had save states as well. I always save scum my steals so that file had all the best steals too. Stupid 1%. Always tryin' to keep a brotha' down.

There could be worse stereotypes to live with:




Anyhoo, no complete % has been more annoying to me, in my gaming career, than 'Castlevania - Symphony of the Night' and the 200.6% map completion. I always miss some tiny room on one of the two maps. I've completed it 200.6% before, but a couple of times I get like 200.5% or something and it ends up driving me bonkers.

Yeah, but depending on context it can be pretty cool, too. Though anything is made at least 80% cooler with President Teddy.

I remember learning about Wookie War I in grade school history class.

lol @ Jessie spoiler tagging for violence and giving an artist credit. Canadians are so polite. So stereotypical.

To be fair, blood is blood. Some people might not like scrolling through violence, especially at this time.

And my rule of thumb is to give credit if it would take me less time to find out who made the image than to make it myself. If it's a meme or something, whatever. If it's an actual nice piece of art, I'll at least try.

Guys, I'm crying.

There's a rock band I follow who were about to put out an album called "Weapons of Mass Destruction". But in light of recent events are changing the name of the album to "The Only Winning Move", in reference to the movie War Games.



That cheesy little message at the end of the 1983 thriller hits really hard right now. "Strange game. The only winning move is not to play"

Yeah I feel like by saying "I avoided spoilers!" you're just opening the floodgates for trolls lol

The title is actually a misspelling. The whole time you were looking for an Elden Ring, but it was actually an Elven Ring. She lost her ornate wedding band and just wants you to retrieve it. It's like the end of that episode of Looney Tunes where Bugs Bunny takes the penguin all the way to Antarctica only to find out that he lives in Hoboken.
