I am surprised you legit think any accounts here minus the founder, are worth a dime.

They didnt like what Bravely Default did iirc
Oic
It did what FF2 did I think? I forget.
I forgot exactly, but I think it was along the lines of what LC said, they tried to appeal to everybody, and in a place like Japan, its almost always been a set of limited things that work over there, hence why the games never really get much different and a lot move to the west, so it didn't do well, whereas it worked in the west because its more open to that attempt in the west.
actually it was the opposite. it worked well because it focused on appealing to JRPG fans instead of trying to cast a large net and appealing to everybody.
Yeah I asked my sister after I replied and forgot to edit, but I cant remember the game I was thinking about.

I think that there's an argument to be made that says by trying to appeal to everybody you end up appealing to nobody. A good example of this being the success bravely default had in the west.
Yeah I'm not saying it's right. The casualisation of games can be very annoying and barebones. Did Bravely Default not do good in Japan?

So do you think that focus groups have too much influence in development?
No, I think you're over thinking it. They make it "accessible to as many people as possible" because that's what rakes in the most money, and the video game industry, as with any, is trying to find the best ways to make money.

I could never get into Majora's Mask really. Even when I played it as a kid, I always thought of it as "that game that's not quite as good as Ocarina of Time". Idk why. I appreciate what it did now that I'm older, but it's just not one I treasure personally.
Edit: I will say the feeling of dread that game gave me when you first played, never went away and I can still have that feeling today. It perfectly captured the feelings of darkness and hopelessness so well. Even the overworld music was less cheerful and not as hopeful as Ocarina.

Thanks for the compliment.
I played the Oracle games a long time ago, and they were enjoyable from what I remember. As for the Skyward Sword one, I'd have loved to finish but the wii motion on my controller was just bugging out so bad, it was literally unplayable. If I could find a workaround for it, I'd love that.

Based on how much of a clusterfuck the siege of Mosul has been, I wouldn't think twice about throwing out Obama administration plans either.
Urban warfare is a bitch, yo. Regardless of what you do, it'll always be some of the most intense and brutal fighting in modern combat.
This doesn't excuse the extreme overconfidence displayed at the start of the siege, especially when you look at losses. Some of the Iraqi army's best units have been devastated, and often for really stupid reasons. The Golden Division got really fucked up because they were poorly utilized. The whole operation reeks of incompetence on the part of the US and the Iraqis.
I think it was more the US (Obama Administration) wanted it done quickly so he could make a mark and claim he helped knock out ISIS before he left. But you're probably right.

So a few thoughts from me
Link to the Past is still the best 2D Zelda game to me, simply because it laid the foundations of future Zelda's with the Master Sword and everything else, along with general dungeon design and progress for a game at that time
Wind Waker is still the best 3D one. Why? Well, it's not until the very end really, but they actually made Ganondorf a legit character with motives and humanized him instead of just "hurr durr EVUL", and then he finally just says "fuck it " in the end after losing what he spent his entire life for.
That, plus it nicely wraps up the story of Ocarina of Time far more effectively than Twilight Princess did if you ask me (remember Ganondorf says he'll break free at the end of OoT). Why you ask? Simply because the world changed from OoT to Wind Waker for OBVIOUS reasons, yeah, but also because the King of Hyrule was there to symbolize what the sins of our fathers truly weighs on its children, as is apparent in the history of mankind itself.
And that's not really at all getting into the world of Wind Waker and how expansive it was and the world map not being just an empty canvas to go from point A to point B (Twilight Princess)
Twilight Princess, while an enjoyable game to play (seriously, I loved playing it, just not my fav, but saying that =/= it being bad, especially for a Zelda game), didn't feel nearly as inspired in terms of characters, story, or general progression of the world of Hyrule. Everything felt like it was still a standstill. The only characters that really stood out to me were Minda (obviously), and Hero of Time sensei.

Probably Twilight Princess. I love the game's art style and more mature tone, the combat is the smoothest the series has seen so far, the temples were unique (Yeti mansion and Ooccoo world), and I thought it brought a lot of new and entertaining mechanics. I remember making a save solely to play the horseback fight with that huge goblin forever.
I haven't jumped too far onto the hype train for BotW, but it's definitely going to be an insta-buy. I'm still a little skeptical that the open world is going to feel a bit barren, but overall it looks like it's going to have some really solid gameplay with an amazing story.
I always found Twilight Princess as the game that took from Wind Wakers combat, and tried to match Majora's Mask tone but didn't quite manage to do it. Solid game, but certainly not my favorite. https://youtu.be/0Kfa5qbYito?t=26Certainly has the best Master Sword drawing/music though.

Clearly games with the competitive aspect as its primary source is something you seem to not want to play. In that case, I'd recommend two things.
1. Play more single player heavy focused games like MGS V, Dragons Dogma, or Fallout/Skyrim
2. Play games with co-op in mind and not head to head
These two games kinds of games help me get away from a lot of stress and just zone out to something more simplistic, or something that revolves more around me and "my" time, rather than everyone elses or an urgent stress factor.
Also, fighting games piss everyone off either because you're so bad and you're aware you're bad and that pisses you off, or there are some cheesy moves.
I tend to stick to strictly single player games anyway. Usually Dark Souls, weirdly enough. I find I am decent enough at the game to find it quite relaxing.
Well then there you go. As Verb said, competitive isn't your scene. It's not really mine either. Only time I do like it is when it's with friends I know I can either A. Lose to/with and still enjoy it, or B. Fuck off an entire round

Competitive Rocket League will be the death of me.
Usually if I lose more then 3 games at a time I'll stop playing and angrily go on my laptop or play something else. It can borderline ruin my day though if it happens and I'm aware that the reasons I lost were fully my own. If the other player is just good then it's not overly terrible but if I'm just making stupid mistakes it's so crushing.
Actually happened yesterday but thankfully I was playing unranked solo duel so my comp. rank is still good.
Don't feel bad. I literally just rage quit because I let the ball pass me, then I tapped it in my own net, all alone.
Rocket League is detrimental to people's health. 100% convinced.
It's weird because I saw it coming too, and I saw myself doing it. But I did it.

Churches did keep information around, Turkey is right. It was really the only collective source of knowledge and education after Rome fell, but did play a heavy opponent when the Enlightenment era came around.

I've never really cared about RE (Or horror games in general) but I saw the opening scene (I'm guessing it was) where you're sat at the table in the background of a video I was watching - I think it was jim sterling's video on RE7.
Shit's fucked up. Looks kind of interesting.

NE's victory, were any deflated balls part of that win?
The Falcons had somewhere of a 95% chance of winning, which was about the same chance Hillary had of winning the election.
There's hutt burt liberals on twitter hating Tom Brady and talking shit about him just because he voted for Trump.
God, do people have to involve politics in FUCKING EVERYTHING? I'm gonna be playing 40k one day and see some easter egg or some metaphor regarding American politics aren't I?

Roger Goodell being booed was the best part of this Superbowl
The game itself was good, but football has become boring to me because it's a fucking advertisement throat fucking.
It's Goodell's fault that the NFL has been losing ratings. He puts teams that nobody wants to see during prime time, fines players absurd amount of money for any type of personalization like custom cleats, adding new rules every year that increases Flags being thrown onto the field slowing down game time, and since he's been commissioner there's been an increase in commercials and commercial breaks.
It's retarded, but the NFL has always had so many commercials. It just gets annoying. I used to love it but man, deciding 4 fucking hours for one game is an effort these days.
It's one of the reasons I've gotten dran to soccer. Shorter (an entire 2 hours shorter) and I feel like I'm actually watching a game and not companies trying to figure out how "le funny" they can be for their products.
The commercialism really just turns me off.
100% agree.
Thank God for NFL Redzone channel during the season.
I'm right there with you. I'm usually busy around the house, but I can actually sit down and feel I'm watching the key plays. Filter out all the crap.

But it's not even "le funny" anymore, now the majority is "feel good" shit, that's why it's boring.
I saw one early that was literally just "accept everyone" And we all knew what that was pointed at. Got annoyed early.
