I was gonna say something else but then I remembered the last movie I saw was Hellraiser II, so this is going to be the last two movies I saw because I wanna say a more obscure one.

So Hellraiser II gets a 4/5. I enjoyed it about as much as I did the first one, very good movie, great practical effects, cool sets, very painful looking. I liked how much it was just a direct sequel, picking up right after the first one(this is apparently something the others do not do at all), and seeing more of the Labyrinth and hell was great, as was seeing the dark god Leviathan(even if they do defeat it pretty easily. I suppose they do in Silent Hill too and I love that game.) It was a good 80s body horror movie and I had a good time watching it. Sadly and ironically, I had just finished watching it when I heard Kentarou Miura died. I got around to both(as well as watched Flesh+Blood) because of their influence on Berserk.

The movie, sorry I mean film, I watched before this was The City of Lost Children, a french film from the mid 90s. I'd also rate it 4/5. It has Ron Pearlman in it speaking french! As sideshow strongman with a heart of gold, called One. He's goes on an adventure through the strange, dark, and incredibly well designed city(cannot stress this enough, fantastic set and art design), looking for Denree, who he sees as his little brother. Denree has been kidnapped by agents of Krank, an old evil clone of a scientist who is kidnapping and giving kids nightmares when he links up to their dreams trying to find a way for him to dream, as he can't. There's also a brain in a green fishtank who talks through a speaker. On One's quest he ends up roped into helping some orphans steal a safe full of jewels for two conjoined twins who force the children to steal for them, and since one of the orphans runs off with him, they also chase after them. They use a weird bug that can cause people to be mind controlled by a street organ if it injects them with some weird green liquid.

What I'm saying is this movie is weird and pretty silly. I don't know french so I can't tell how much of it is intentional, but I'd say the tone is fairly comical. It's surreal and fun and it looks cool, I'd highly recommend it if what I said sounds good to you.

The other parts have been answered so I'll do that last bit: She doesn't tell anyone because she doesn't think anyone will believe her and/or that'll make it worse, since now that the shades are all gonna go nuts without the shadowlord around, people are gonna get attacked more. You tell people "hey those monsters trying to kill you are people and they don't want to die" a lot are probably going to hesitate or outright refuse.

The replicants are already gonna die out, wouldn't wanna make it faster.

Previously I would have said the fight with Seymour on Mt. Gagazet in FFX, but last time I played I actually beat him the proper way with some good old SMT tactics; lots of buffing and debuffing and making sure everyone is full on HP at all times, and I managed to do it right.

However, the final boss of Xenosaga 1 I've never beaten without summoning Erde Kaiser part way through because I mean it's pretty tough. I bet I COULD it's just whenever I play it I always get Erde Kaiser and I mean why not? Speaking of, I also use him to one hit the bonus bosses in that same game. Similar to how I've never beaten the Weapons in FF7 without using the PS4 port's cheats.

@brian_: Makes me feel better about myself, I actually beat that boss. Then I remember it's just a video game and stop feeling better. That boss was kinda bullshit, though. I did hit a roadblock like that, I think second to last boss in the second DDS which was just annoying so I quit.

@permanentsigh: Boy I sure hope this guy is right and it's not true. I'm 90% sure you really won't be able to re-download anything once the store is closed. I mean why close the store but keep up the servers that the games are on? The whole point is to save money because you aren't making enough for those costs to be worth it.

I dunno man, all I'm seeing is LOD changing.

Oh for fucks sake.

Well I guess I'm gonna have to make a list of every PS3 game I have on my wishlist right now so I can remember all of them. There are a bunch of PS1 and 2 games they have digitally up there that I really wanted to get, and a few actual PS3 games.

Sony, you're lucky you're the platform to go to for JRPGs and other niche japanese games or I would have given you up for xbox years ago.

@cornbredx: Oh I actually just thought of one: I haven't seen it personally, but a friend of mine who also likes Cage has, it's called "Between Worlds" https://letterboxd.com/film/between-worlds-2018/ and it features apparently like, birdemic or neil breen level acting, a scene where Cage is reading a book written by himself(but not his character, I mean his real self) about his "golden cock", and another scene where he lights himself on fire with absolutely 0 reaction. He says that a lot of it is actually boring but I dunno, maybe if they were a little drunk it could be fun. Also just wanna let people know about it because it sounds like a real trip. It is available for rent and purchase on Amazon Video.

I completed MGSV doing almost all the side content even though by the 20 hour mark I had long since realized that I'd be doing the exact same 3 missions in the exact same 5 locations over and over again until the end, as I had been doing. I really hate that game yet I kept playing it anyway, constantly thinking "why the fuck am I doing this?"

I routinely play games that are 50+ hours long, and usually play at least one 100~ hour long game a year. I just got done playing Persona 5 Royal, which took 135 hours. So, if AAA games got longer, that would actually make me more interested in them. 60 bucks for 10~ hours is a bit steep.

Yes please. Vinny's tough, he can take it, I know he can come out of it unscathed.
