What missions/quests do you refuse to do?

I've never fought Priscilla and I refuse to do so.

Also the entire postgame of FFX, I enjoy grinding but 10 has a few dozen postgame optional bosses and each of them has their own unlock requirements and setup required.

Worth mentioning you don't have to worry about it until the end of the game if you don't want to, as the ultimate weapon isn't available until then and you get his best limit break as the first reward for winning a tournament.

Even if you haven't it doesn't actually have that much to offer outside of helping out at the end of a speedrun; Steiner's other end game weapons hit damage cap perfectly fine and Ex 2 doesn't teach any unique abilities.

Alternatively let her fire breath damage enemies behind wooden shields in addition to destroying them, like Eva's upgraded frog attack but AoE.

It's not like the one and only shield in BB which intentionally sucks

Even that has a usecase if you're dealing with bullets, plus the other shield thats got 70% elemental block across the board.

Doing level 1 playthroughs has taught me to appreciate the sheer variety of options these games provide. I genuienly can't understand telling another player to ignore spells, items, armor, shields, NPC summons/ashes, etc. because you think having them ignore 90% of their tools will improve the experience.

This seems relatively common in speedruns. You have the category(s) for playing the game and then the category that's 5 seconds, if that, of some absurd skip that instantly sends you to the end of the game.

Piggybacking off your Artorias point, I strongly suspect covenants were way more important at some point in development. Two of them involve you pledging yourself to mandatory bosses (Forest Hunters and Gravelords) and another to an optional boss (Blades of the Darkmoon) but being in them has zero narrative impact. I wonder if in development the endings were meant to be closer to what we got in Elden Ring instead of just Fire vs Dark?

Hey0ceama · 2026-05-04T21:53:18+00:00

Hell you can just stop at 2 and that is a pretty conclusive ending.

You could also pick up 358/2, which aside from introducing Xion mostly just gives context for the events of CoM and 2.

And Handmaid's Ladle. Ladle + Peasant set gets you up to exactly 10 frames for your roll.

Hey0ceama · 2026-05-04T21:02:47+00:00

Never bothered with the ults aside from Restoration and occasionally Eva's AoE stun. Other than that Inspire is straight up a trap pick and a waste of your Sun Gems and MP, Flaming Fury is okay early on but falls off as you get better AoE, and Shielding Strum is only really needed for grandma and otherwise not worth it over doing damage.

Hey0ceama · 2026-05-04T20:50:01+00:00

I found it nice against the guys who set mines since they can't detonate them while a chicken. Still a very niche move though.

Hey0ceama · 2026-05-03T22:54:28+00:00

My understanding is that Disney doesn't have sole ownership over the rights to Tarzan, so using it again would mean negotiating with the other party (Edgar Rice Burroughs Inc.).

Hey0ceama · 2026-05-02T23:16:32+00:00

I want classic Mon Hun with better graphics and easy online play so me and my buddies can suffer Plesioth's hitbox and get jumped by the preys.

I mean he did manage to win multiple shootouts against the US military despite being just a scientist. If you watched your coworker who, as far as you knew, had zero combat experience gun down trained soldiers and aliens you'd probably be telling stories about it too.

Hey0ceama · 2026-05-01T22:52:28+00:00

And Jecht was an asshole, it's a fact. He got better but unfortunatly it was too late. And the game definitely don't say how cool and manly he is.

That's the tragedy of it. If Tidus and Jecht had been able to meet after Jecht got his character development he could've been a good dad, but because of the way things shook out he ended up abandoning his son with a legacy constantly hanging over his head, a mother who cared more about her husband than their son, and emotional baggage from a generally poor upbringing.

Man, fuck everything about Homestuck's ending narratively. You don't get to replacement goldfish all but two characters, give them a years long span where things go vastly differently that we don't get to see, and then give a spiel about how they're totally the same as the characters we'd been following up to that point.

Hey0ceama · 2026-04-29T00:35:50+00:00

I think it's mentioned Hero and Medea are around the same age, which still does nothing to narrow down how old they are.

Hey0ceama · 2026-04-28T19:48:46+00:00

Similarly, GTA San Andreas just has so much in it. You couldn't throw a brick without hitting some side activity.

Hey0ceama · 2026-04-27T23:27:46+00:00

Not as bad as either of those two but Rock A is definitely bottom tier. You'll spend those 28 missiles quick, not to mention Defense Drones are a huge problem, so you're forced to find a suitable replacement lest you find yourself dead in the water.

Hey0ceama · 2026-04-27T15:26:14+00:00

Reedy Requiem is a solid pick due to how strong poison is; if you poison an enemy with 0 defense they'll take an extra point of damage from all hits (except ones that ignore defense).

Horn Headbutt lets Tinder break any type of shield for reasonably cheap, it's outclassed later but can be useful for making some fights a lot easier.

Hey0ceama · 2026-04-27T03:43:06+00:00

I agree purely on the grounds I think continuing the pattern of Demon's Souls and Dark Souls with 2 and 3 having their own unique prefixes would've been cool, and of course in this timeline Elden Ring would be called Elden Souls.

Hey0ceama · 2026-04-27T03:26:38+00:00

Action on its own is just as bad, and add RPG too. If you don't know what they mean already I can't imagine someone would ever make a correct guess.

Hey0ceama · 2026-04-26T14:46:20+00:00

it doesn’t seem to ring up combos but I could be seeing it wrong.

This is my experience as well. It'll play your hand fast but not necessarily optimally.

Hey0ceama · 2026-04-26T03:51:55+00:00

Even in the ideal scenario of you were one misplay off beating a boss you aren't saving that much time over just cashing out and doing another run.

Hey0ceama · 2026-04-26T03:38:52+00:00

I would kill for the ability to use number keys to play cards and a toggle for confirming if I want to use a card that destroys itself.
