why do developers hate final bosses... those battles are the ones that stay in history books.


Edit: fuckers trying to be edgy... "bosses are to videogamey"

You have to agree, bosses kind of don't fit a cinematic experience. You usually lose once or twice to bosses, the immersion and emotional connection are severely hurt when that happens...

go watch a movie if you want immersion. I remember dying more than 4 times with the master in fallout 1 and that didnt ruin the "immersion".

I _hate_ final bosses. Seriously. It's like making it to the last chapter of a book and not being able to read it beause suddenly everything is written in a fucking weird language hard to access. I can't count the number of jRPGs where I made it to the final boss, and watched the rest on youtube.

Just hate *annoying* final bosses. It's not an all or nothing thing.

well, i like final bosses... mother 2 and 3 have great final bosses some final fantasy games have awesome bosses. Whats wrong with having some bosses? if demon crest didnt have any bosses the game would be shit.

The final boss always should be a challenge, even on normal difficulty. That's what I like about arcade shooters or Chrono Trigger. The japanese school of development surely have a big boss section. Resident Evil 3 with Nemezis is probably my favourite, great idea and execution. On the other side is NWN 2 with it's horrible endgame. Ok, you killed one boss, but then it's another. And after that, surprise! I have both expansions, but didn't play it after that. Since MotB is so highly acclaimed on 'dex I'll try.

In Soviet Russia the only way to play FFVII was to fire it up in an 8bit Russian NES knockoff. Thankfully it has been translated for our enjoyment :

Valkyrie Profile. The original on PS1 is very expensive (I got my copy for $150) but there's a PSP rerelease that's far cheaper.

Is that the rpgcodex videogame?

Yes I fought the disgusting crowds at Pax and managed to take a picture of the preview build.

Strange flying machine wreck at a forest clearing ( Sacred 1, 1024x768 ).

Curious, did you have issues with Sacred 1's graphics flickering horribly and uncontrollably whenever you move? I loved it back in the day on a CRT monitor, but every time I've tried to play it on a modern computer, it's been unplayably glitchy in the visuals department.

glitchy in the visuals department

Try force V sync off in drivers and add "WAITRETRACE : 0" to settings.cfg. You'll get screen tearing, but flicker on textures is gone.

Yeah, I've tried all the vsync forcing and config file changes, just never helped any with Sacred 1. Going to keep this filed under "shit is borked up no matter what I do", regrettably.

Sometimes different kinds of AA can cause this.
