Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[ChikoLad]

OK.

I really want a Net Yaroze now. I think I heard of it before but I must have forgotten.

Also HE TEASED SPYRO FOR THE MILLION SUBSCRIBER SPECIAL GOD DAMN THAT'LL BE SUCH A LONG WAY AWAY.

 

[Wario Bros.]

While I have Smash on the mind, I might replay some Kung Fu Panda: Showdown of Legendary Legends.

I still haven't bought any of the DLC (except the ones that were free) as I don't see the point for a game that has barely any in-game modes & content to use that DLC with (and the fact the Wii U port has no online doesn't help at all).

 

[Wolfie557]

It's out now:

I got super sick yesterday. I feel a bit better, but I'm still not 100%.

I'll watch it tomorrow after school.

 

[Wolfie557]

Well, weapons can mostly be found all over the world, in chests, from enemies, or just lying around.

The main thing you get from shrines is those "Spirit Stone" things, and you seem to get new powers for the Sheikah Slate too, from some shrines.

Dunno what the variety of weapons types will be, but we've seen a load already, including rather out-there ones like the Fire Rod and Korok Leaf, so I'd imagine there's a lot.

I want the ice rod to return. Maybe even the Sand Rod from ALBW (but made a lot better and more useful)

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

It's official mates, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE had fully sucked me in.

I've never been this obsessed with an RPG since Final Fantasy VII. Speaking of that, the remake better be well worth the wait with the new gameplay changes and enhanced visuals. I'm expecting this much quality with the Crash Trilogy Remasters as well. Bring back to the bloody coot with success and your name shall be redeemed easily Activision.

Man, the GiIvaSunner lore is deeper than I would've imagined:

Nice disussion.

One question- If, hypothetically, there were to be another Bravely Default game as part of the next-gen handheld launch line-up with Nintendo publishing the game, would you feel more confident in the chance of a Bravely character?

 

[ChikoLad]

Oh yeah, I beat Sonic: BTS earlier. Apparently got the good ending on my first try too.

Aside from a few annoyances with the settings and a few bugs I ran into (went out of bounds once and had to reset, and ran into one or two things that can make the game crash), this game is a real love letter to Sonic fans and I recommend anyone who is a fan of the Blue Blur to play it. The OST is GODLY, the sprite work is stunning, the story cutscenes are super charming, and the level design is superb and really varied with each Act having it's own obstacles unique to it. There is also more complex geometry to run around and I feel like the physics are slightly improved too compared to the original trilogy.

I absolutely would not be opposed to these games being officially endorsed and updated for release on different platforms, and being made canon. This was such a fantastic game.

And this final boss theme might be one of the best I've heard in any game ever.

I'm pretty sure we can all tell from your new avatar and title alone.

Jokes aside, I'm finally in Chapter 1 with enough skills for combat. This game really is fun.

Spoiler

Can wait to see the infamous 4Kids clouds on Centaur!Aversa's body.

Believe me love, it will get more fun once you get more skills throughout the story's progress. And it's perfect when you wear the Atlus Protag DLC costumes as well. Tsubasa's costume is too fitting for her hairstyle, but not so much with her character. Even better when Itsuki gets to dress uno as Troll-kun (The best SMT protagonist in history).

Spoiler

You had no idea how hard I laughed when the scene came up. I even reminded myself, "I was originally salty about THIS?" It's too funny not to find ridiculous.

New Straw Poll on Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE. Personally, I'm on the fence about it.

Can anyone help me set up Vega so I can play it on my Visual Boy Advance? I have all the files extracted and a FireRed rom downloaded, but I don't know what to do at this point.

I wish I'd seen this earlier.

You need Lunar IPS to apply the Vega patch to Fire Red.

 

[Burruni]

Gonna be honest.
I caved in today and bought TMS
I'll give my early-in judgement/review when I play a few hours tonight.

 

[Chrono.]

I've seen so many people who were initially dismissive of TMS ending up buying it (me included), that it wouldn't surprise me if the game didn't do as bad as many thought (sales-wise).

I ran into this gem:

A cheeky fan (I think?) asked Aaron Webber what he thinks of Sonic fans with autism (back at Sonic Boom 2013). His response is perfect.

It came up on a forum because apparently Webber was invited to be interviewed by a channel called "True Sonic Spirit" that apparently is notorious in the fandom for being rude or something, but he accepted the invite, apparently.

I looked at one video on their channel, and while maybe not all of them are like this, I actually think the guy made some really good points that I completely agree with. It was about the whole "gameplay is the most important thing" debacle and how he disagrees with it, saying that a game's concept is more important (which is absolutely true). And he argued that in the case of Sonic, gameplay isn't something we really need to worry about because for the past few core Sonic games, the gameplay has been fine. It's most of the other elements that have been lacking.

TrueSonicSpirit is not all that bad, I actually think they make some pretty well thought out videos.
It's the Facebook group known as Sonic Adventure 3, which TSS is affiliated with, that are rather infamous.

I just watched another one I really liked, so yeah, I'm inclined to agree.

I can see people being put off by the tone of the guy, in that he can be kinda snarky and biting in some of his points, but that's a good thing IMO. The video I just watched now was simply about "positivity" in the fandom, and while it's great to have some people be wholly positive, you also need people willing to express a more critical/dissatisfied tone, while still carrying a positive message underneath.

I've kinda been feeling this sort of dilemma myself lately, as both a Sonic fan and probably even more so as a Nintendo fan.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Don't you just love PC elitists? How they would say their graphics are the best and consider console owners poor peasants?

I know I don't.

I know I don't.

And if dare you say that you play Steam games on a Mac, they'll laugh even harder.

The harsh truth of how the "Master Race" truly views console owners. Did I forget to mention that console wars are dumb on their own? Yeah, they all have their strengths, weaknesses, and good exclusives. But alas, this is the reality of gaming.

The channel actually has more than one host, if you want an example of the other host, I recommend checking this video.

I agree almost 100% with what he said in this video.

What's funny is that the whole "PC Master Race" thing was coined by Yahtzee as a term to make fun of guys exactly like that.

But the term just kinda evolved into them using it themselves for themselves... and... yeah,

The Nintendo games (legally) and thus is not the master race.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Sony x Nintendo Master Race

Only my little brother is a Microsoft Fanboy since he loves Halo and Xbox Live.

 

[A Distant Demon]

PC players are the master race because they can play nearly every game ever with emulators

Me getting TMS is an inevitability. "when" is just a question of how long it takes to hit the bargain bin.

Hey wait a minute this isn't one of my posts!"

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

I'll be honest, I wouldn't even be playing Steam games if it weren't for Team Fortress 2 and Undertale. And last but not least, Half Life.

But in all seriousness, we need a third Half Life game. If only Lord Gaben wasn't such a troll and actually give us what we want.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Half Life 3 will be just as likely as Jak 4.

Never going to happen since he'd rather make more money off other Steam titles. But I can say that the Half Life games are actually pretty interesting. Portal on the other hand is something I can easily get behind (That GlaDoS).

 

[SegaNintendoUbisoft]

Half Life 3 will be just as likely as Jak 4.

And that saddens me.

Hey, I actually just watched that one. Along with some other ones.

Yeah, that one is spot on too. Only thing I'd add is that Generations is a really good ambassador game too. It's easy to get into, only requires you know Sonic exists to enjoy it, and is a really polished game that never gets too hard. At the same time, it has tons of fan service and references for hard-core fans.

Speaking of which, I have to complete Jak 3 one day. I've beaten 1 and 2 (screw the water slums mission), but not 3.

I guess the reason he didn't consider Generations an ambassador game is because it so nostalgia driven.

xD That comic definitely shows the brotherly love between them, there's no older sibling that doesn't use the younger one as something to hold stuff, change the T.V., doorkeeper, etc.

My method of escape was literally using Pikachu to Thunder Wave and then save a slot so that the opponent would be paralyzed. Cheap yes but there was no way I was getting out of that damn place without resorting to shenanigans.

All of those damn trainers man. Even more egregious when you get out and there's another 4 trainers to take on your fatigued team lol.
