Man, so did child labor and deadly work conditions but we've been trying pretty hard to fuck those for a while now. Don't see why monarchy couldn't get in line, or why the UK couldn't stay the UK even if it ditched the crown.

... would anyone actually give a damn if the UK lost the monarchy and stayed UK? I can only imagine complaints about it not being a kingdom would be met with a resounding, "And?" If anyone's ever really cared about what ~arbitrary geographic boundaries~ are called I've never met enough of them to think they matter.

If you've got a dual-pistol character, carrying a double-alien-pistol-thing backup can chew through 'em quick.
Yeaaah, I don't got ANY of that. :P
M'fairly sure even the base science laser can chew through a roller faster than anything but the highest end ballistics, and unless you're running some sort of mod you've definitely got those :P

As for the rocket launcher, the only thing I can think of at the moment is... is it loaded? I remember having problems with that, sometimes. Plenty of ammo, but the gun itself didn't have ammo in it, and for whatever reason the game wouldn't automate it for me.

It is kind of what made it impossible for me to get back into Breath of Fire (well at least 4 and MAYBE 3). Combat is so long and drawn out.
Emulation is the greatest thing that ever happened to a lot of older games, honestly. Speed up button made many irritatingly slow design choices infinitely more bearable.

Not that it helps much with a LP, but eh.

Could I ask a link to that scenery porn there?
there needs to be a better term for mind-blowing environment aesthetics :v
Well, there's stuff like this. And more. It's like. Half feels like every second or third page. Not that I'm complaining, mind.

Also yes, there might be a less provocative term for scenery porn, but I'm not sure there's a more accurate one.

Honestly, the thing's been giving me Exalted vibes more than almost anything, which tells me it's almost certainly hearkening back to... whatever style it is that primarily influences Exalted. I'm guessing some variation of wuxia but m'not exactly well versed on the subject, ha.

Warning, might be NSFW/Erotic, depending on interpretation.
Oh wow, that thing. I remember that from... years ago. Several. That particular clip is older than 2011, heh. Well, a longer one involving the guy in the background as well, anyway. Looks like the film itself was from back in '05.

Well, it's a webcomic with what amounts to gratuitous amounts of glorious scenery/setting porn. Someone else on the forum linked to it a few(?) weeks(?) back. There's not really much going on yet, though. Presumably, the main character will in due time be tasked to kill six billion demons, but... *shrugs*

*waggles hand* From what I recall, the large monsters are... not terrible. Dragons being probably the best (or second best, behind one of the fliers) of them. Some of the other monsters (notably, one of the dead-critter lines, angels, I think) are end-game curbstomp level critters, though, if I'm not misremembering. Fairly sure Lodis's dragon masters are pretty decent, for what that's worth. Alright generalists, give 'em a sword and some useful magic and have 'em follow the huge honking lizard around.

But yeah, the no-kit (or little kit... I forget if there's accessories or something they can pick up) hurts 'em, as does not being as free with magic selection and whatnot. And speed, iirc. Still. You could do worse, and they're tanky buggers and hit pretty hard.

Though nah, dragons are available early because they (most monsters, actually) evolve, like in all the Ogre games, battle or tactics. After a bit they get an elemental affinity, and then get huge later on. Don't recall if they've got a forth form in Lodis or not, though. Fairly sure they do in the N64 battle one -- base, elemental, bigger elemental, bugger off huge elemental. If my memory isn't completely borking, anyway.

Good Old Games should totally introduce a custom multiplayer system for their stuff. Then they can be Multiplayer Activated Good Old Games, or something along those lines.

"GOG has evolved into MAGOG! The end is nigh!"

The short answer would be "more" -- more characters/classes/etc., more battles, more/better plot, more polish (especially the later remakes), better graphics, just... everything, really. It's... kinda' the difference between a handheld and a console game in regards to general production trends, in terms of scope, execution, etc. Knights of Lodis is considerably more contained -- shorter, less epic, smaller roster, and so on. Not to say it's bad, it's just that the original is, well. Better. And the PSP version in particular does a lot to smooth out interface and mechanics and whatnot, as well as provide a new translation. Would definitely recommend.

18538
... sure? Or maybe a post-summary of some sort. I, uh. Can't actually watch the videos, yet, but yeah, the organizational bits can be interesting (to me, anyway).

18539
Star Empires... IV? Or V. One of the two. Maybe both, I'unno. Have a star trek mod as well, for what that's worth.

Nah, it's not a materialism thing, per se. More hedonism. A properly constructed bedding throne is incredibly comfortable, and by the gods, if there's one place I'm going to be comfortable it's in bed.
