Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

On the flipside of things, why should I believe a 4chan anon?

Because they actually have proof.

They had been writing this together for a long time.

 

[Deleted member]

I don't like the sound of this.

Trust me, it worked for FE, it worked for Kantai, so what we need to do is turn the tanks and ships into underaged-but-legal waifus and ships.

No Touken Ranbu edition? Boo

What the hell is that?

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It was the CIA that sprung us up in a war against Iraq, with their "sources", which turned out false. Y'know, them WMD's

and now the CIA is making a report on Russia, which turned out to be Podesta using the password "Password" and falling for a Phishing scam. A PHISHING SCAM.

They are also assuming the hackers from the Russian government didn't use Proxy, and had their IP address as "Russia". The only logic to assuming they did that (In which they haven't showed evidence of that) is if they believe in "Princess Bride" logic. "I know you know that I'd know the poison was in this cup, so I put it in the other cup!"

For some reason, the CIA seems to want us in a similar war against Russia as they made us get to in Iraq. Y'know, as long as you combine that with Hillary's statement that "Cyber attacks count as an act of war". They want war with Russia

Edit: Even if the IP source was Russia, they'd have to prove it was the Russian government and not a citizen of Russia. An individual citizen of American hacking the Russian government, for example, would not be an act of political sabotage or a reason to declare war with America

Edit 2: His computer's password was password, his email password was unknown

 

[Ivander]

What the hell is that?

If Kantai Collection is Waifu Ships, than Touken Ranbu is Sword Husbandos. You know, like Bleach's Sword spirit characters, but all Husbandos.

 

[MF Viewtiful]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

No matter your political leaning, I think this statement from Obama's farewell address rings so true. If you have not, peep the entire thing. A lot of what was said is now important than ever.

 

[Chrono.]

And where's the proof of that?

 

[Ura]

Trust me, it worked for FE, it worked for Kantai, so what we need to do is turn the tanks and ships into underaged-but-legal waifus and ships.

So basically Advance Wars: Waifu Wars? That's like Federation Force X1000000.

But honestly speaking I don't even care if Intelligent Systems wants to waifu-ize AW the same way they did FE if they think it will make it sell better in Japan. Like making the game more story/character focused and marrying between nations.

And also not using that god-awful box art they used for Dual Strike which I posted above.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

What the hell is that?

Its like Kantai, but instead of girls being ships in history, its boys being sword in history

I mean it worked for Fire Emblem.

They had pictures of the things they sent IIRC.

The report has clear typos and mistakes geographically.

Plus the report had been going around since October if it is to be believed.

All major sources (barring Buzzfeed because of course and even then the head doubts it), declined to publish it because there was no proof.

Nah man, you don't understand, just look up Kantai Collection and read a basic summary of what it is.

Its like Kantai, but instead of girls being ships in history, its boys being sword in history

Don't think that'd fit with AW, but I guess we can make do with FE
I mean, Skyward Sword kinda did this and everyone loved her, right?

Little hard to do that when something you thought would be the one redeeming win, turns out to be a loss, but I'll try. It is past 10 over here so I'll probably be getting sloop, but I'll try to end the day well.

Godzilla 2 works a lot like Famicon Wars but adds this stupid slot mechanic to determine the damage your units do

 

[Oasis Dealer]

Some people are trying to fix Sonic 06.

Seeing a functioning version of 06, it does make me appreciate the thought of what it could've been.

If Sonic ever does an attempt at the Adventure formula again, I think basing it off of 06 or something like this could work. I think there's definitely potential to improve this gameplay style again. Granted I'm referring to Sonic's gameplay over Silver and Shadow, so idk how they would fix those up.

Silver is trickier. His Puzzle/Platforming was a sound idea but... It doesn't fit a Sonic game and it breaks the flow.

I've seen a couple people say that Silver can have gameplay inspired by Gravity Rush. While I know next to nothing about the series, seeing bits of gameplay does make it seem like something that could work.

Honestly all 3 should have fast paced gameplay. It's just making them play differently is the hard part. Different styles of gameplay is a common complaint within the Adventure series, so I think making them all close to each other in general gameplay would be the best option.

 

[Ivander]

I mean it worked for Fire Emblem.

IMHO, Fire Emblem's current Support system is the least of Fire Emblem's worries.

At least Intelligent Systems is not deaf to criticism. I mean, they acknowledged Awakening's weak story and easy gameplay and at least tried to remedy that. They also made Conquest for the hardcore or gameplay-focused people and in regards to that, alot of people agree that Conquest is decently hard, is the best gameplay-wise and has good variety/challenge for the missions. So it's not like they can't make good missions/battles with variety in objectives.
Also, IMO, Fates brought some good changes to the gameplay, like the new Weapon Triangle, the balances to Pair-Up, reasonable Cons to having Weapons with no limits, allowing both genders to share classes like Pegasus Knights and Fighters, the Class Gifting for Supports, the Unit Logbook and Online, and etc.
So really, if IS still keeps criticism and feedback in mind, I think Fire Emblem can still have a chance at bringing something good to the table with both gameplay and story eventually.

..................
I'm thoroughly upset right now. Great day, then this happens........

Just saw them now, full thoughts, with personal picks and the "Most Popular 'Other'" because I find those interesting.

Spoiler

Best Hero
No complaints, Deku, along with Mob, were the only actual heroes in that list but Deku's character and development wins over to me. I even voted for him so yeah, good on you, Deku.
Other: Josuke-no surprise here, should have been on the list instead of freaking Mumei, still would have gone for Deku tho.
Personal pick: Deku himself

Best Villain
WHAT THE HELL!?
I mean, it was pretty close at least but I thought the one thing(what remained of) the Erased fanbase was that its villain SUCKED. How did Kira lose? This legit puzzles me.
Other: Betelgeuse(Re: Zero)-I wished the guy was on the list when I saw it since he was extremely enjoyable to watch. Though I still believe Kira should have won.
Personal pick: ****ing Kira of course what is this bull**** smh ://

Best Boy
Starting a trend that'll be seen in the other categories here but, in hindsight, it makes sense: this is basically a popularity contest and YoI is the most recent of all the popular 2016 shows so its fanbase is still on full fan mode. Erased, Re: Zero and My Hero Academia would have the same effect if the awards were so close to their airing. Still, as much as I like Yuri, Reigen is this year's Best Boy in my book, too bad that even as a runner-up, he got absolutely destroyed.
Other: Josuke again, can't blame anyone.
Personal pick: Reigen

Best Girl
Water is wet. I contributed to this and I feel no regret, Rem deserved it. Sorry, Ochako.
Other: Megumin, yet another one of the "should have been in the nominees in the first place" club
Personal pick: Who?

Best Fight Scene
Don't remember whether I voted for Koyama vs. Mob or Kacchan vs. Deku(and, hey, it got second place) but either way, I'm glad MP100 got something and the fight is beautifully animated too, speaking of which...
Other: "lol"-Shishœ
Personal pick: Reigen vs. Claw 7th Division-Koyama vs. Mob was hype but Reigen actually getting the last fight scene and absolutely owning everyone? No ****ing contest.(All Might vs. Nomu is also pretty hype too though).

Best Animation
*sigh* YoI looks good but... no, just no. Mob Psycho should've won, it's much better than OPM and on par with Trigger's beautiful shows. This is the problem with popularity contests.
Other: Eh... sorta
Personal pick: MP100

Most Heartwarming
This is one YoI deserved to take and I have no problems with it.(yeah I voted for it fite me)
Other: Rem's confession was the second best episode of "talking" that I've ever seen but still, The Kiss.
Personal pick: KissXKiss

Best Drama
Nothing much to discuss here, Erased was a good show
Other: No.
Personal pick: 91 Days, I still miss it.

Best Couple
Just copy-paste my "Most Heartwarming" thoughts. 69% is the proof god exists.
Runner-Up and Other: people need to understand what a headcanon is, like, really bad.
Personal pick: same

Best Comedy
Rip Konosuba, I hope it gets it this year. Didn't watch the winner so I can't give my thoughts
Other: Nanbaka-man, did that ever drop into a whirpool of edgyness, did it ever get better?
Personal pick: does Jojo count? No? Alright, does Bungou Stray Dogs count? No? Fine, I'll go with Konosuba

Best Action
Oh wait, MP100 won something else. I'd personally give it to MHA as an action series because ONE is more about how the action is not the most interesting part of a conflict but still, it has action so it counts.
Other: Jojo, what else to expect?
Best action: tie between MHA and Bungou Stray Dogs for me: MHA was hype and had a great underdog MC and hype fight scenes while BSD had inventive fights with the "Jojo" style of them basically being puzzles. Yeah, and Jojo too, don't think I need to mention it.

Best Opening
Eh... I like it but, again, MP100's Opening theme is fantastic and it actually has more than one scene in it(seriously, visually, YoI's OP is boring as ****).
Other: Erased Naruto
Personal pick: Jojo's Great Days

Best Ending
I voted MP100 but I hadn't watched YoI yet and... man, do I love that ED, it's pretty catchy and I like the visuals in it of various pics taken by the characters in the series.
Other: Re: Zero-which one? I can barely remember them anyways because it's not like it had time for silly things like an ED.
Personal pick: Another tie here, I'm so indecisive: MHA's catchy ending, MP100's also pretty catchy, stylish and characterizing ending and BSD's second ending which was like its own Roundabout with it playing at the last scene of each episode which I always listened to.

Anime of the Year
It's gonna be YoI even though it doesn't deserve it, isn't it? *sigh*

Final note
At least Kabaneri didn't win anything and that makes me happy

However, a couple of the gameplay mechanics aren't executed that well, so for me, it's leaves me with a couple of conflicting feelings.

For SA1, I LOVED the Sonic stages, I liked the Gamma and Knuckles stages, I was ok with the Tails stages, but the Amy and Big stages ticked me off to no end.

With SA2, I LOVED the Sonic/Shadow stages, I like the Eggman/Tails stages a lot (even with cheap enemy placement), but the Knuckles/Rouge stages are poorly executed (but not as bad as the Amy and Big stories in SA1, imo). I don't quite hate the treasure hunting stages in SA2 for the most part, but they are still undoubtedly tedious and not well made.

I don't quite hate the treasure hunting stages in SA2 for the most part, but they are still undoubtedly tedious and not well made.

I'm going to re-post an answer I had to a similar question from about a month ago.

I'll be the first to admit that the games have aged.

But I still love them. They were games made by people who were passionate about the projects. For Sonic Adventure, they traveled to different countries to get inspirations for things like the Mystic Ruins

I recommend reading Sonic Adventure's development history over at Sonic Retro
I still believe Sonic Adventure 1 and 2 are still the best controls Sonic has had in 3D, I think Generations is a better game, but Modern Sonic's controls when not going fast are very stiff. In Adventure 1 and 2, I feel like I'm in control of Sonic at all times.

The other playable characters are a breaking point for some people, but I feel they are still rather fun. In Sonic Adventure, Amy and Big are the weakest parts, but Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Gamma's stories are all great. They have fun, fast-paced gameplay, and in Gamma's case, has a great story arc (I still somewhat tear up at the end of Gamma's story).

Sonic Adventure 2 trimmed up the fat and just gave us three playstyles, speedy platforming, treasure hunting, and mech shooting. They all have their improvements from their Adventure 1 counterparts, but also some downgrades, mainly the treasure hunting stages. Knuckles and Rouge's emerald radar were nerfed really badly. It's not so bad in the earlier stages, but when we get to Mad Space, oh boy.

I can't say anything about both games' soundtracks that haven't been said. It's ****ing amazing.

The stories are also a part of the reason why I love those games. They're not gaming's greatest, but they're nice stories that all wrap up in a nice little bundle. I'm someone who believes that Sonic can tell a serious story, there have been points in the series where the stories have been a little too dark (Shadow, 06), but just because Sonic is a cartoony looking character doesn't mean we can't have somewhat serious stories. Unleashed personally has the best tone in the series, it has some comedic moments, but also some touching, somber moments.

The Nostalgia Critic's "Is Weird the New Brilliant?" video sums up my feelings about this perfectly well.

Have the game's aged? Yes. But I still think their executions and ideas still make them good. It's mainly the reason I want to see both Adventure games get the Crash Bandicoot N-Sane Trilogy treatment. So that these games can be seen in modern eyes, improved, and be loved for what they did right.

[Hat N' Clogs]

I'm going to re-post an answer I had to a similar question from about a month ago.

Nice post! It was a great read!

And yeah, I don't think the Adventure games have aged that well either (especially SA1). But, from a personal standpoint...I love them, even with their flaws! Ever since I could get my hands on a copy of both SA1 and 2, I have loved them, even with their flaws. The fast action platforming that is central to Sonic, the interesting unique gameplay overall, the charm of it, it's just...fun...for the most part lol

From a personal enjoyment standpoint, these two games rank in some of my favorites of all time. But, if I had to give "reviewer" scores (cuz why not start some interesting conversation lol), I'd give the first game a 5/10, "average". It does a lot of things right, but it's bad aging reveals some key flaws. SA2 is better, and I'd give that one a 7/10, or "good". It still has critical flaws, but is a solid improvement from the 1st game

(my personal review scale is 10-9 is masterful, 8-7 is good, 6-5 is average-ish, 4-3 is bad, and 2-1 is dreadful).
