Well, just got the Bad Ending of Armored Core 6.

Killed Rusty and Ayre, the two friendliest characters; wiped out an entire sentient species that only wanted to help and cooperate; and set fire to the entire Rubicon star system, rendering the planet forever uninhabitable. And then disappeared into the flames, to be immortalized as the monster who triggered the Fires of Raven.

Time for New Game Plus. Once I can feel my hands again. Maybe not the ideal game to play after a long day of pointing steel tubes.

I'm a fan of well done Bad Endings. Reminds me of Ogre Battle 64 in which you are banished because you apparently just love killing people, the new leader dies of unknown causes, barbarians destroy the kingdom, the bad guy that lives stumbles upon a woman's corpse and a baby crawls out of her dress and then disintegrates the bad guy because it a a God reborn.

Google, I'm not sure how to answer that one question...

Are their horns their ears? I just want to know if nibbling on their horns is like nibbling on ears. For science and stuff.

[Vahlnir]

Are their horns their ears?

Kind of, yeah. Sounds sort of vibrate though their horns. Guess that would make them hollow.

I'm fine with Bad Endings, as long as they make sense in the context of the game. If it's because of something my party did, then by all means go for it.

But a badly done Bad Ending will kill my interest in the game. A monster or catastrophe or something coming out of nowhere and just eating the world because shut up. Bleh.

I give some leeway for joke endings, though. Like in the first Mortal Kombat, where Raiden's ending involves him getting bored fighting mortals, inviting other gods to join the tournament, and accidentally destroying the world. Complete with "Have a nice day!"

Speaking of Bad Endings...Warhawk had some wicked ones. It's all text based but MAN do they paint a picture. A horrible, HORRIBLE picture.

Here's a compilation of them.

I'm honestly not sure if I should even look at google's answer for au ra laying eggs.

[TheMightyMollusk]

Never ask the internet a question unless you're sure you're ready for how the internet will answer.

[Renalt]

I'm honestly not sure if I should even look at google's answer for au ra laying eggs.

Oh I looked it up...and the first two answers are widely different.

1. Female Au'Ra have breasts therefore they produce milk which means mammals.

2. I honestly don't think I can answer this one without getting banned.

[TheMightyMollusk]

I think the official answer was that Au Ra give live birth just like all of the other Spoken races, but I don't know if I want to search for confirmation on that.

Our Horns while technically not ears are hollow and vibrations moving through them is how we hear
