But that have logic Freddy. Some old beliefs about vampires are that they cant enter in water or they will be destroyed, since they cant even swim its fatal, because water is the element of life, being sacred even not being holy water.

Now you understand why Alucard cant swim and loses HP in water? :P

Nope. Still not logical enough for Kain to disintegrate the very same moment he touches water. And do not forget he's not a regular vampire- he's the king of vampires. That was nothing more than the game's excuse to make its platforming a bit harder.

Just because you're king, doesn't mean you're all powerful. I don't see the lack of logic in it, for the most part. Though I do believe, it's excessive that he instantly dies. I'd have thought he would be able to last a bit before then.

What fails in that game is not that Kain dies in water, it's that he takes like 20 slashes to kill an enemy... a human enemy, when the sword AND him, are suppose to be so powerful.

Lets just assume it was all anointed holy water spilled from the heavens

In Legacy of Kain, Cursed Vampires are vulnerable to all water. Raziel still has it after he becomes the Reaver of Souls. It's only by getting his brother's soul that evolved into one that can withstand water, that he is able to travel through water.

I think it's a gag on how something that would help vampires survive in water would be considered "holy" to them.

Where do they keep all their items in survival horror games, particularly Travis Grady in Silent Hill:Origins? You could find portable t.v.'s (1970's portable, so think like a blacksmith's anvil in density), mini filing cabinets, large 1940's era alcohol bottles in the hospitals-and there was no limit to how many weapons you could carry. At one point in my most recent run through, I had well over 40 melee items, most of them larger, such as the metal i.v. drip stand. Eh, it worked in my favor, so I can't complain too bad.

Lisa Trevor in REmake was supposed to be this untouchable, super strong, immortal mutant ugo, right? Yet her hands were bound by what looked to be nothing more than a wooden board with a little bit of iron...couldn't she have just tore that shit like rice paper? Also, she seemed to be allowed to wander the grounds pretty freely...was she docile to the researchers, or were they playing some sort of sick, elaborate game of hide-seek-when they'd hear her coming? Like, "Oh shit! Gary, she's coming-quick, duck in a closet! She'll just sniff the air a little, piss herself, sob inconsolably, then leave. It's hilarious!". If that's the case, then maybe the wooden board & chains were more like one of those bell collars people get their cats or those squeaky shoes for toddlers they make in Japan-you can hear them whenever they're near & therefore have a general bearing on their location.

You need to watch Pokemon's anime. I don't know if it's in the games, but in the anime, Fire Fighting is done by Squirtles. There was an episode with the Squirtle sqaud that fights fires.

That Zelda pic is awesome, and she looks pretty hot. SO double win, with a list full of face palms.

Some people say Dracula wouldn't stand a chance against Kain, because Dracula keeps losing to guys with whips, spears or even a 12 year old girl with bird projectiles and cute animal powers.

But all Drac would really need to win is summon a couple of Mermen to splash water on Kain.

I guess these people have never heard of the Vampirekiller, the Elcarde (Alucard) spear or the mystical blood of the Belmont clan for that matter. And yeah kain is screwed if he comes into contact with water.

Hehe, great minds think alike?  :P

In the game's defense, I gotta say that regular units do very little damage to walls and castles, which makes sense and forces you to use siege weapons and use tactics to defend them from enemy attacks.
Ultimately, the amount of logic in the game is... fair.

I dont play games for login unless its about mystery or logic is really the focus of the game. so I only post here for share giggles with users xD


The most iconic and hilarious thing in Age of Empires 2 to me is that almost everythins starts burning when its take damage. Also you can create combat units (warriors, chivalry, siege weapons, etc.) inside their own building, but you cannot put them inside if they have spawned out of it or if you get them out of the building, you just cant put them back. xD

You can put them in towers, castles and town centers though (also in these ramming cars, but only soldiers on foot).

I remembered one time when I was playing AoE 2, I sent in a villager to attack a castle. I think there was a blind spot somewhere in the castle where no arrows could hit the villager, so yeah, I was able to destroy a castle with just one villager.

Its totally normal, If they didnt researched a special ability, towers and castles cant shoot in enemies very close to them.

In Final Fantasy Tactics you need to revive a character in 3 turns or he cant been revived anymore. In Final Fantasy V, Galuf cant be revived because he already reached 0 HP but still continues attacking and receiving damage, they explain that its too much to her body and spirit and they cant bring him back.

Actually, Phoenix Downs don't revive a dead person, they work like a defibrillator. In FF6, there is a scene where Locke tries to use the Phoenix Summon to revive his sickly girlfriend, and that obviously failed and she died (or so I remember). Phoenix Summon of course, is probably the strongest version of reviving someone. That said, magic revive probably works the same way, as in they don't resurrect just brings people back from the brink.

I remember this well. It wasn't Phoenix Sommon but instead Locke took the Magicite; Phoenix and placed it on Rachel. After a second of nothing the stone does revive her but only for a short time. They both say there goodbyes, she sets Locke's heart free from all the grief he'd suffered and with the last of her strength, repairs the broken Phoenix Magicite. It was one of the more touching story aspects of the game. Simplistic yet well done.

It was one of the more touching story aspects of the game. Simplistic yet well done.
I thought FFVI was really effective with what it was able to convey with it's sprites and lack of voice acting. Locke's desperation trying to revive Rachel, Celes's dispair when you let Cid die and her act of attempted suicide, and themes such teenage pregnancy(Katarin and Duane), the different facets of what "love" means(love between those you care for, relationships that go through rocky situations and trust issues, as well that true love is not always love between "lovers" but can be anything from brotherly bonds as well as a woman's unconditional love towards a town of orphans). One of the many reasons it's still my favorite Final Fantasy game of all time. I don't think Square has came close to attempting to address similar issues with the FF series since then(maybe to play it more safe).

Yeah, what the creators of Final Fantasy 6 were able to accomplish with a few megabytes of space only becomes more impressive as time goes by, while most of the following games in the series just played it increasingly safe, relying on cutting edge visuals and style rather than a real soul. Heck the last (imo) really great game in the series, IX, was originally going to be a spinoff instead of a main series game. Call me crazy but I think the last vestiges of the real Squaresoft ended when Sakaguchi left, and I don't just mean the name change.

It's been years  but I believe this is when Eliwood and company are about to  enter bern IIRC a chapter or two later you get harken or karel with those garbs on.

The dialogue itself is grade-S bullshit, but the premise is the same.

I suppose MS's Xbone is a good candidate for this thread.
It is not a video game though...

Reminds me of the crazy NOD level in Command & Conquer 3 where your goal is to defend certain alien facilities from the GDI who try to destroy them. The buildings you're supposed to protect are located inside the alien base, and obviously the aliens are unaware of you defending them so they won't let you access their base.
The only choice you're left with is crushing the aliens and taking the buildings before the GDI arrive and destroy them.
