Nice work mate, I never had the patience to 100% games but props for doing so!

Danganronpa v3
Finished my journey though all the Danganronpa games and I love them. They have their Japanesey cringe issues like when you max out a social link you get their underwear as a novelty item (a 10x10 pixelart icon to be exact) but the good is so much silly fun and the murders and trials are satisfying and often it pokes you in your feelings. I think this is my least fav of the mainline games but it certainly goes places at the end! Yeah, not for everyone but I do love these daft games.

You should give The Hundred Line - Last Defence Academy a look, it's by the creator of the Danganronpa series and very similar to those games.

Ta Ian. Hence as to exactly why both Mordor and War games contain that certain aspect of pure uniqueness that genuinely compels you to want to complete the lengthy story arc between yourself as a Human and any one of a mounting bunch of what feel like very personal Orc grievances you share over time - an often complicated history with, so often as a one time ally turned foe that purposely and continuously steps into view letting you know how they truly while felt under your command ever taunting you. It's fucking genius is what it is, Nemesis that be. As soon as I saw his head fly slowly away from his body I can't describe the real sense of release and finalisation. Especially one so long in the making that it was a thorn in me, I could no longer bear it and the only action was to dispense of him at last. (Yet even in his last words he mocked my victory as both hollow and meaningless and that I would once again lose the fortress) the twatter.

Being as I am these days with games in which 95% of what I tend to play never amounts to anything remotely close to building to a sense of closure or completion before I swiftly move on this was a big one and now rather than simply walk away feeling my job is finally done - I've now instead taken to taking over Online player Fortresses too which while perhaps not as completely gratifying fully serves its purpose to keep me coming back still.

Edit: I know I'm somewhat making it sound perhaps as if such consistent foes/true nemeses are not present in other titles, which obviously isn't the case. More that losing that fort in 2020 and never being able to ever retake it after numerous attempts and essentially giving up playing the game was cause enough to try again - that is on top of being called pathetic weak sackless and obsessed with my continued failure.

He was right.

Was the Nemesis System ever used in any other games? I'm think WB realised how cool it was and immediately decided no one else could use it or something similar so it just went to waste.

I think they tried to patent it, but I'm not sure whether they were successful.

I recently read this about it.

Interesting.

Apparently so, back in 2021...

https://patents.google.com/patent/US20160279522A1/en

The patent will go into effect on February 23 and, providing they continue paying the fees, could be maintained until 2035.

So besides it being completely untouchable until 2035 the now very dead Black Panther game developed by Ex-Monolith leads was due to incorporate it into the game and feature shape altering Skrulls utilising the system. Not something any of us could ever have wanted, right EA?
