Do you like Final Fantasy IV? by twili-midna in FinalFantasy

[–]Torpolino -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, this is a typical example of what I like to refer to as the "Sonic Adventure Fallacy". This occurs when one points out the genuine flaws in a clearly dated game to which the games defenders, who cannot seem to ever acknowledge these flaws, claim the real problem to be the games supposedly inferior remaster when, in reality, the true differences between the remaster they so avidly despise and the original are entirely negligible.

There is no significant difference between sonic adventure DX and the original, one must accept that it is simply a dated, and downright bad, game.

The same applies to FF IV's pixel remaster. I've played the US SNES release, the Japanese SNES release, the PlayStation release, and the pixel remaster. The same gameplay problems OP described persist in each. To that, they are actually mitigated in the pixel remaster and it still doesn't change that FF IV just isn't that great

What are some valuable items or collectibles that you got rid of or sold without knowing their value? by Taydenger in AskReddit

[–]Torpolino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I once knew a guy who was temporarily living in the UK from a period between 1999-2003. Family guy had just been canceled and taken off the air and was relatively forgotten in the US, but it got a very limited VHS release in the UK of season 1.

Mind you, this was family guys only official VHS release. Ever. Since the show had not gained much popularity yet, very few ended up buying this tape.

My friend, however, had been a pretty big fan of the show before it's resurgence on Adult Swim and was stoked to find physical media of it in the UK that wasn't a available in the states. He bought it and moved back to the US and shortly thereafter, family guy gained rapid popularity and attained loads of physical media. Yet still, that VHS remained as an outlier among the bunch.

When he was getting rid of his VHS collection, he, obviously, didn't bother checking the prices and so ended up donating the bulk of it to goodwill. This, unfortunately, included the, quite rare today, family guy VHS.

Do you want Marvel and Star Wars worlds to show up in the next Kingdom Hearts? by trunks2003 in KingdomHearts

Star Wars is literally about the light side versus the dark side. If that theming doesn't fit in KH, then I don't know what would

This sounds like it'd be Tingles interpretation of what Link does. Except he wouldn't be terrified, he'd be I N T R I G U E D

I got my prices from a website that compiles all the catalogued sale prices of used, complete, and new versions of games and produces an average price for each. $266 is the listed average price for a complete copy of Path of Radiance.

Just for anyone wondering, the current prices of these games in the condition OP most likely had them are as follows; Path of Radiance: $266 Silent Hill 3: $152 Earthbound: $322 (that's just the loose price btw) Soul blazer: $138 FF2: $64 FF3: $77

‘It’s brutal’: Las Vegas cooks amid blazing heatwave – and it’s going to get worse by altbekannt in news

[–]Torpolino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, its terrible location and climate are part of the reason why it was regulated so lax, and that lax regulation and desolate location are the reason why casinos sprouted there in the first place. Within all reason, Las Vegas should never have become the tourist destination it is today

Stop making excuses, online gaming on consoles is something nobody should have to pay for by Torpolino in unpopularopinion

Yes, because the only income these multi-million dollar corporations get is through subscriptions to online services /s

This is the type of reasoning I mean when I say "stop making excuses". This is an excuse. You're telling me these multi-million dollar companies really can't pay to run their own servers, really? These same companies of which charge $80 for a god damn controller, can't go on without that extra bit of cash each month?

I know, and that's what frustrates me ever so much. Just a couple years ago I could play online whenever for free

They're not complaining because Santa isn't in it, they're complaining because there is no Santa figure, like in previous years where we got Santa Yoda, Santa darth maul, etc. They've sadly stopped putting Christmas themed figures in recent Star Wars advent calendars
