"Let's Powerplay" - The Prelude

[DraQ]

F2 or FF7.

Fallout is Fallout and, as for FF7, I'm curious about it, besides, in the worst case scenario, there will still be much lulz.

 

[1eyedking]

Yeah, but it's not your ass the one on the line.

 

[DraQ]

Yeah, but it's not your ass the one on the line.

We'll give you all the mental and emotional support we can.

 

[Sovy Kurosei]

FF7 so that we can watch you take the piss out of it. I don't think you can do that as well with the other options.

 

[Mayday]

FF7- the only game out of these four that I haven't played (and never will).

 

[RK47]

ffs. there's no other way to play FF7 than to powergame. Sure there's optional mini-games that give powerups, but unless you hit certain levels on certain bosses you're not gonna be very 'prepared'.

They tried to solve that with FF8 level scaling but we still end up with nonsensical 'don't kill this boss till you steal all the loot of him lulz' mechanics.

 

[dragonfk]

FF VII FTW!

HAHAHAH...

 

[1eyedking]

I'll let the poll roll for a couple more days; in the meantime, my fucked up Gothic 2 character turned out to be alright since I had forgotten the Innos shrines and potions to raise Strength, so now I'm happily over 130 wielding the Orc Slayer and wreaking major havoc (I'm not using Beliar's Claw since it's gotten buggy after Chapter 3).

Once I finish my current Gothic 2 run, I'll take a look at the poll results.

 

[ghostdog]

You don't really need to powerplay to kill the main plot bosses in FF7 , the only extremely hard bosses are the "weapons". Also powerplaying will mean to breed a gold chockobo so that you can reach all the hidden areas...(although you can also get that another way) Hehe, now that I think of it forget G2 , I also go for FF7.

 

[Lesifoere]

Yeah, but it's not your ass the one on the line.

Don't wimp out. You did put it up as an option, after all.

Remember to give Cloud and the rest of the cast loltastic names.

 

[1eyedking]

You bastards. I'll have to play that piece of crap.

Oh well, I'll try to make the ordeal tolerable. Thread coming soon.

 

[Lesifoere]

You'll play the PC version, right (rather than emulator with some sort of filter on)? God, I can't wait to see all those horribly pixelated, blocky super-deformed character models again. That and the part where Cloud dresses up as a woman.

 

[1eyedking]

No. The trip is already bad as it is, I won't let sharp blocky pixels bleed my eyes to exhaustion. I'll be playing the Playstation version on ePSXe, probably with anti-aliasing cranked up to 6x to alleviate the pain.

 

[Gnidrologist]

Smoke some pot while playing, Maybe it will be less painfull and more lulz for u 2.

 

[Müg]

Ugh, don't pick FFVII. It's too easy to abuse the Materia system.

 

[SanguinePenguin]

Meh I doubt a FF7 playthrough will be any good. Most likely the "lulz" will be shitty and base if you have no appreciation for the medium and will quickly become old because of it. For that reason most JRPG bashing comes off as fakey and weak. Bashing a JRPG for being weird and Japanese is like bashing a gay porno movie for having butt fucking and track lighting.

Gothic2 + NOTR is the way to go and there's more input on what to do from the audience.

 

[1eyedking]

I just finished Gothic 2.

"Let's Powerplay FF7" coming up in the near vicinity.

 

[ghostdog]

I suggest to play FF7 in ePSXe, the pc version is horrible and even if you manage to install correctly all the fan-made patches it still has a terrible control scheme.

 

[1eyedking]

No. The trip is already bad as it is, I won't let sharp blocky pixels bleed my eyes to exhaustion. I'll be playing the Playstation version on ePSXe, probably with anti-aliasing cranked up to 6x to alleviate the pain.

 

[Sovy Kurosei]

About time.

 

[Radisshu]

Powerplaying FF7 is ridiculously easy, and not very far from how you'd play the game normally.

 

[1eyedking]

OK, I've written most of the text up and it's mind-blowing lolzorz, but now I need someone to tell me a good site to upload various images at once.

 

[Jasede]

I used photobucket. It has an upload limit, but cleaning your cookies + cache circumvents that. There's, however, also a broadband limit. There's a great site to upload many images at once though, which I didn't use, but which I heard is great, but I forgot the link.

Uh. Yeah. Heh.

 

[Mayday]

are they big? I could let you host them... gonna have to make a php for it though.

~50 kb.

Might be imgbolt. But as every other it has its limitations.
