Other M isn't a first person shooter. You comparing a MetroidVania to a classic platformer on which one is better isn't smart. DKC and Super Metroid are similar, right? Pokemon and Final Fantasy are similar, right? WoW and LoL are similar, right?
Oh why hello there Mr. Hyperbole, I had a feeling you'd be back. You brought friends, too!

but. . , but. . .Sans wears blue :(


I remember one of the AC games didn't have a ****ty love sub plot.

it's been a long as **** time since i've played Uncharted and I still haven't played 3 but i'm pretty sure that one was pretty good too.
Oh yeah, I know that. I even have a blue jacket to wear if I wanted to. However, I felt like doing the black jacket since I like it a bit more. Makes it a bit more sp00py man. I'm also really considering carrying a basket ball and just saying "Geeeeeeet dunked on!"

Also, while I haven't played them, the Uncharted games looks pretty fun. My dad owns all of them, so I might give them shot. I remember at E3 when the demo had reset when they showed it off lol.

I got a new topic after watching my cousin finish beating FF8.

Was there ever a good love story or romantic subplot in a video game?

Because the games I always play and see, the way they handle romances are awful, cringe worthy or doesn't make sense when it's a giant focus in the game's story
Xenoblade Chronicles did a pretty good job with the way they handled romance and stuff like that.

Other than that I can't think of anything else...

Shovel knight is one of my favorite games of all time.But i do think people overhype the game to a bit and some levels just drag at points.Still an amazing game but TheAnvil TheAnvil is entitled to his opinion so let up a bit

Yeah I'ma drop it now, it's pretty clear that Ryuga is just using hyperboles for the sake of antagonism.
I was joking about it lol. If there's arguments, I tend to ignore them. This just got me an excuse to use the pun again :p.

I was gonna say that, and then I doubted myself because I haven't played very many video games overall.

The game never dwelled on the love part too much. You could super obviously tell that there were a couple of ships sailing, but even when it was a plot catalyst it didn't really feel like it was derailing or forcing the plot.

Shulk giving Fiora water by mouth was more heartfelt and believable than most live action kisses, TBH.

Romances in video games are fine, but I don't like it when they become a main focus.

I honestly thought their yellow heart to heart was pretty heartfelt as well.

Anvil has outright said he has dropped it.

It's usually a good idea to drop it yourself.



Xenoblade can never say it had a good romantic subplot because of what it did to
Melia :(
So. . .it's bad because it let a ship burn?

I mean, I never played the last leg of the game where things really got bad for that character, but without clarification this seems like a rejection based entirely upon ship-to-ship combat. :/

. . .You know what? On second thought, as a non-shipper I just put a target on my back.

tbqh the gameplay of all the shantae games feels like a drag to me
maybe 4 will be better because the metroidvania style gels really badly with the actual movement options and speed

Im joking. I just really like Melia. I don't really ship anything in games. I think I had like one or two crack ships o something at one point though. . . I love Xenoblade too much to say it has flaws.

Melia really get the short end of the stick but it's a good thing when you consider the fact that she is 88 years old

Being in different genres doesn't mean that one game can't be more engaging or compelling than another. Final Fantasy 7 can't be compared to Bubsy the Bobcat as far as head to head value, but I can certainly say that I find one more engrossing that the other and have that be a perfectly valid observation. Especially because, at the end of the day, it's an entirely subjective and personal point.

Dead Mom
Evil step-mom. Who is actually evil
Dad dies in front of her
Outcast from genes
brother dies in front of her (like a badass)
almost her entire kingdom is wiped out
the person she loves loves another
doesn't even allow herself to be be mad at them because she likes fiora and shulk too much

Hell when you meet her all of her friends just died for her.

The short end of the stick (heh. she her weapon is a fancy stick) is putting it very lightly.

Hey, speaking of awkward realizations about Xenoblade,

Riki has 11 kids, more than anyone else in his village or even the rest of the game as a whole.

Think about it.

The cutesy fuzzy team goofball has a more active love life than anyone else in the game.

LET THAT SINK IN.

Welp. Riki has a more successful love life than anyone on this site. Time to cry in a corner for about 20 minutes

Actually, 12.
Riki adopts Shulk at the end. (A Heart-to-Heart shows this)
So yeah
Monado Boy's adopted

So apparently (key word: APPARENTLY) they considered a Toy Story world for Kingdom Hearts 1.

(the world on the far right is supposed to be the Toy Story world)
This information (and picture) comes from Hidden Treasures: A Kingdom Hearts Design Documents, which details some early concepts for the game.

What would i not give for a Toy Story world in Kingdom Hearts.

I just saw Goosebumps, I was pleasantly surprised, it was really fun. Though the humor was not it's strong point, despite a few good jokes, and the CG was pretty poor, but there was a surprising amount of practical effects. It's honestly what Pixels should have been.

>Pizza planet could have been in Kingdom Hearts

*screams*

My most wanted area for KH could have been in from the very beginning. I would have been so nostalgic.
