Best is debatable. But 3 is probably the easiest to get into, without the larger number of units of 1 and while simplifying the AP system of 2 and without the links of 4 and 5. It does take too damn long to really let you customize stuff though, you have to rely for whatever you can capture for a bit too long. The skill system has a lot of amusing and abusable quirks that can make your life easier even without going full game breaker too.
In some ways I do think 1 is the best to start with just because of how different it is to the sequels which might make it harder to go back to later if you decide to give it a shot, but if it isn’t your cup of tea you might well like the later ones due to said differences.
There are more to this series than I remembered! But it is short!
EDIT: Sorry about anything offensive I said 10 years ago. Also that was a real nice TV! And I miss that gamecube.

Like I know there is some part of WKC where you get mechs. I never got to that part.
The last few times I’ve been inside Gamestop, some bro inevitably walks in and asks something like “what’s like good right now?” and the clerk will say “well, what do you like to play?” and then the person is all like “I liked that Halo 2 when it came out”. Then the clerk - with remarkable patience - will help the bro pick out a game he’s never heard of and get him to buy it sight unseen. This is crazy to me that someone would walk into a retail store without any clue as to what they want and just purchase a game for the hell of it. It’s weird how bro’s only use the internet for Mapquest and looking up movie times and never use it to research stuff they might like or be curious about. I guess that would be too complicated? Better to get someone else to do it for them?
For those of you who have worked retail, does this strike you as remarkably stupid as well? Is it a common occurrence?
Oh, man, I used to work at an “arthouse” theater in a faux-urban shopping center. You wouldn’t believe the number of people who would stroll in, ask for plot synopses off the top of our heads, and watch fifteen minutes before coming back to look at us sideways.
When we had Away We Go we’d wink and tell them that they’d immediately know if the movie was “for them,” and then braced ourselves for the angry wave of refund requests after the first scene featured cunnilingus. Tree of Life was fun.
I also worked at a Starbucks, where taste is mystifying and people ask for “caramel walls.”
If you’re still in a Gamestop in 2017 you’re there for the “service,” right? I mean, I assume you were there because you had a specific thing that you couldn’t get in a store without a TV playing a 30 minute advertisement featuring Kevin Pereira, but an average person might want the game advisors to give them some game advice. Record stores and video rental places used to provide this before the cost of trying an album or movie dropped to near-zero.
That the game advice is usually terrible is incidental to Gamestop being a terrible place to work. Real story: I know someone who unknowingly sold a customer Metro Last Light as a racing game.

I need to buy LCD screen cleaner for an antiglare screen. I don’t follow cleaning substance news. I go to Amazon and look at the top selling/highest rated brands. I read reviews and while I can discern which people have no idea what they’re talking about (it cleans a glass screen well, look I took a picture!) I can’t really parse if someone knows what they’re talking about when they say brand X really won’t damage the screen coating.
I invest the amount of time I’m willing to and then make a decision.
Yeah we think media’s a lot more important and personal but if someone thinks it’s just a timewaster (or it’s a gift), they have limited energy to spend investigating. The relationship you can build with 5 minutes from a knowledgeable clerk is ‘good enough’ even though they’re substituting their judgment of the person with their judgment for the game. It’s the sort of trust negotiation you have to do to survive…
If I didn’t have sb to ask how the fuck would I know anything about any game?
you should have tried to convince him to start posting here
Is there a recording of the whole Fighting Layer 2017 livestream?
wooooow, people actually showed up to a theater and expected you to give them a plot synopsis? That blows my mind, someone should shoot a documentary about these people. I just can’t understand why the hell…I just…I’m at a loss here.
This never made sense to me as a media-conscious collegeguy but as a grownup it makes perfect sense. It’s like, look, movies aren’t so fucking important. I just want to get out of the house for two hours. Hey guy, what’s these movies about?

Exactly. Busy people. We (a bunch of teenagers with infinite time) provided the service of watching everything for free ahead of time and telling them about it.
It was rewarding when you helped someone find something they clicked with.
