1. Pokemon is a level below train spotting on the sad, dull anorak scale.
2. Chrono Trigger is crap.
"Every position must be held to the last man: there must be no retirement. With our backs to the wall and believing in the justice of our cause, each one of us must fight on to the end."

Earl Douglas Haig, Order to the British Army, 12 April 1918

So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since the former it is not, and the latter are no more.

All 3D Mario sucks, the New series is just ok, 2 USA sucks, 2JP sucks, Land 3 is actually a Wario game, World 2 is actually a Yoshi game.

1, 3, World, Land and Land 2 are therefore the only really good main series Mario games.

That's not an unpopular opinion, that's the truth.

I want to adopt "cute 'em ups" as an actual phrase. Now I just need a Twitter fanbase... Hmm...

Suikoden was the best ongoing game series. Sadly it isn't like any more will be made.

FFVII is probably the best Final Fantasy game out of all of them to date.

Witcher III was a disappointing game.

The Mass Effect games are all good, including the last one and we need more of them.

Don't worry, I'm sure it'll get another pachinko, slot, or pachislot machine sooner or later.

Whoa too unpopular man tone it down you rebel.

I miss Suikoden I just replayed and finished IV first time getting all 108 stars on it. Moved on to V will continue when things settle here I tend get absorbed in an RPG til done.

On side note I like Growlancer remake and localize VI already

yes, pokemon deserves its spot as highest selling franchise ever

AND

if the UK is going to get rid of loot boxes, please get rid of commercials during kid's programs because those are also predatory to children

You may as well just endure the pain of playing Growlanser 1 and 6 with the fan translations if you really want to play them, because they're probably not ever getting localized/ROMhacked at this point.

Completely agree with you on that.. only adverts on kids shows should be for other kids shows... not toys and merch ect.
