What Killed a Favored Game

Say you played and beat a game a few years ago, then lost the game/realized that your copy is flawed/ other reasons, and you recently brought it again. You played the game for a while, and then all of a sudden, an event was change and the feel of the game is completely changed from what you remember.

For me recently, it is Final Fantasy VI Advanced. I loved the game back on the SNES, but recently my copy wouldn't let me save my games or it would randomly delete the save files (lost my only lvl.99 parties that I made years ago a couple weeks ago). Few other things too, but they're minor so I'll spare you all.

So I brought the Advanced verison, thinking that maybe the new dungeon would be a fun add-on and dungeon crawl. Que me going :huh!: on the intro, :no: during the first converison between Wicks and Wedge(?), and :flameon: during the first Firago Castle events.

And then there was the famous line from Kekfa at the end of the battle at the Castle, "SON OF A SUBMARINER!" What did that line get changed to? "Son of a sandworm!" Just like that, no caps. That alone killed the game for me.

Now, excuse me as I drown my sorrows by playing Fire Emblem for the Advance. I may go back to FFVIA once I beat this game, but I would rather play 'Space Bunnies Must Die' over it, at the moment.

Neverwinter Nights, Shadows of Undrentide

Why? As great as the original game was, the the first expansion pack is made of such Pure Suck that I, with foreknowledge of what is about to transpire, cannot play the damn campaign again.

Shadows of Undrentide loses in all aspects to Hordes of the Underdark which I've played more than just about any other RPG except for Baldurs Gate II.

Windows XP.

I could not, for love nor money, get Oni working on Windows XP. Or Windows 2000, now I come to think of it, and Oni was supposed to run on that.
