Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[RawstyleEevee]

ahh.
I don't know how far you are,but i hope you enjoy the Conquest side then!

I do like the difficulty of the maps and I'm now at Chapter 18 on Lunatic Mode.

Do note though I do use the DLC to grind, but even then its not a walk in the park.

As for the Units, well I use the Royals, Severa(who is my Waifu), Kaze, Odin, Azura, Felicia and Velouria the most, although I do admit from the royals I prefer the Hoshido ones a litte bit more besides Takumi.

The Killing Joke Animated is on sale Tuesday

I NEED TO SEE IT

No you don't.

I don't wanna see Bruce Timm's forced ship and weird animation jank

Good, seeing AniMat rip FOX/Blue Sky Studios a new one for the recent Ice Age is just what I needed to see.

And no, this former Ice Age fan isn't touching that **** with a 15 foot pole.

Now that I can emulation the game at maximum speed, I fell like playing "DreamMix TV: World Fighters" again.

Wow, it is that terrible?

The series' quality must've dropped a lot after third film (which was the last one I saw).

You all remember that Slowpoke song that came out two years ago? Well, there's a new Pokemon-dedicated song, this time for Magikarp, that came out yesterday.

Not as good as the Slowpoke one (I guess that's because I like the reggae style more while this one sounds like those children songs you hear in elementary school), but I have a feeling memes will be pulled out from this video just like what happened to Slowpoke.

A friend of mine got Mighty number 9 as a birthday present. He REALLY ****ing hates it and asked the guy who gave it to him why he did it. Then he and I said in sync "It's better than nothing"

 

[AndreaAC]

That feeling when you're probably the only person that does not have Pokemon Go and you feel lazy to the point where you don't want to get it. >_<

I guess I just haven't had enough interest to go after the game, really.

You definitely aren't the only one, ever since it was shown (when it looked like an April Fool's joke) it never caught my interest in the slightest, as much as I love Pokemon myself. And now nearly everyone at my University has it, the less I want it, and no one has convinced me otherwise.

Check out any review, especially the ones from Rotten Tomatoes.

It definitely became much more mindless and generic when compared to the last film. And I think the profits for the film are much lower than any film in existence. But the sad reality is that they still have plans for more films despite Collision Course being the worst in the franchise.

As someone who only watched the first two back in the day (enjoyed the first, don't remember much of the second), all I could think when I first heard of the new Ice Age was "Are they serious?! Did they really make FIVE Ice Age movies?!"

I watched AniMat's review as well and I'm probably not missing out on much by not seeing the movie itself.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Only seen the first 2 Ice Age films and have no desire to see the other 3. Plus it didn't need 5 films.

And I remember years ago I asked for the GBA game of the first Ice Age film for my birthday. Sold it not long after.

 

[Deleted member]

Ice Age is, in my opinion, the perfect example of how gravity works
You let something fall from a decent height and each passing second it falls faster and faster until it crashes on the ground

Nice! Seems like Go has really helped so far, and I hope Sun and Moon become renowned as a great entry in the series. IT be a great way to celebrate the anniversary.

I liked the two first movies more than the others, and well, the character I liked the most was Scrat, but it is a shame how the started to over use him, and well, his attempts at getting the acorn were simply hilarious (in the first two), but as the other films came along, these became...I don't know, maybe way too random...to find them funny? I even forgot what he did in these now.

PERSONA 5 UPDATE.
PARTY MEMBER ARCANAS

Morgana - Magician
Ryuji - Chariot
Anne - Lovers (no surprise)
Yusuke - Emperor (expected this on Ryuji)
Futaba - Hermit (We knew this)
Makoto - High Priestess (expected this)
Haru - Empress (Kinda expected)

This actually leaves... very few we don't know the S. Link's for.
Assuming Fool, Judgement, and World are once again tied to plot...
Justice and Strength are the remaining two.

Edit: We still don't know anything about the last party member

I don't ever recall seeing an Ice Age film. I only know the films for two things; their repetitive commercials and the fact that I now know there's been 5 films as well. Will they ever decide to put the films in an actual Ice Age?

I really wish they would, but FOX is still going to do it because it makes them money. Even if the latest film is a commercial and critical failure looking at it now.

While reading this and thinking about Sonic Mania in general, I had a thought.

Mario fans have been asking for a more Super Mario 64/Sunshine-esque 3D Mario game for ages now. There is a huge modding community for Mario 64, and then you have stuff like A Hat In Time being made by fans of those games. Not to mention the Super Mario 64 HD demo (that Nintendo took down).

Wouldn't it be pretty sweet if Nintendo hired fans to make a Super Mario 64-esque game?

It will never happen because, Nintendo, but I kinda wish they weren't so gung-ho about fan-made content.

You should. It's a good game all in all though like most LoZ games it's pretty linear with the order of maps you complete. There's going to be a lot of bosses that will make you rage as well though the dungeons are really fun.

Speaking of ALTTP I forgot to post what I thought of the game after I completed the game a few weeks ago..

All in all ALLTP is a pretty good game though IMO I don't think it's as great as some people make it out to be. Dungeons were fun for the most part and the story was okay-ish but IMO the story felt barebones and I wasn't as invested in the story as I was OoT. And really I do prefer OoT over ALLTP because even though the gameplay for ALLTP is a lot more smoother and faster than OoT's OoT had a story that really got me invested in the game and everything that was going on.

So yeah even though ALTTP has some things I didn't really like about the game it was an enjoyable experience overall top to bottom and I would give this game a 7.5/10 personally.

 

[FalKoopa]

I didn't know there are this many people here who are former Ice Age fans. The first film was a masterpiece, and we've come to a film garnering 13% on Rotten Tomatoes. *sigh*

GG, Blue Sky.

 

[Ura]

Remember watching Ice Age in theaters as a kid and being bored AF. Left early that day.

 

[Aetheri]

Man, I still haven't completed ALttP...


...or Xenoblade


...or Hunters


And its not because I'm stuck I just haven't gotten around to it...although I am hopping on Xenoblade here and there just haven't sat down and had a good session of it in a while...

Perhaps only the first Ice Age was meant to exist and the others were meant to melt away before they were even released?

To be honest here, wouldn't it have made sense to simply do a sequel and then end at the second movie as a sign of closure? I never understood (besides profit hoarding as usual) why there needed to be a third, fourth, and fifth movie in the first place.

 

[Ura]

Man, I still haven't completed ALttP...

That's funny because I recall you were helping me get to the 3rd dungeon in ALTTP a month ago lol. I finished the game in like 3-4 weeks though I admit I used a walkthrough to find a lot of items that made the game easier (i.e. Golden Sword, Silver Bows).

Where are you in the game?

Marketing and merchandising...its more than just the films alone that makes them profitable...as a result its worth it for them to make more films as it enables more merchandise...

Like how Mario is for Nintendo and Pokemon is for TPC...highly profitable brands beyond their games alone...

I don't think any movie in the series had any sort of sequel hook. They just keep making them as still churn out money. Maybe they'll stop after Ice Age 5 seeing the mediocre reviews.

Skull Forest...literally the same place I was before...

 

[Wario Bros.]

Played though the whole demo of Shantae: Half-Genie Hero for the first time. It took so long because before this week I could have only play that game on a computer that wasn't powerful enough to run at full speed.

I absolutely LOVED it. September 27 can't come soon enough. :3

 

[Ura]

I remember that dungeon because it was the one that had an overworld attached to it.

It got me stuck on this one part in trying to get the Fire Rod or something. I didn't realize you had to use a Fire Rod on the tree-like object unitl I looked it up online lol.

As I have no idea what the **** a Persona is(besides being a SMT and Jojo crossover), my first thought after seeing this was "let's see if I could make a party with the Stardust Crusaders if I ever played this game"
But turns out no so Persona 5 gets a 0/10 because no Hierophant Green, what's even the point?

 

[Champ Gold]

You know I still haven't heard more about Nintendo getting into multimedia again like movies and television

Spoiler

I just want those Zelda and Metroid movies made with Del Toro directing them

 

[Pazzo.]

I remember seeing Ice Age... I preferred the second one though.

Meltdown also had the best licensed movie game I've personally played. But that may be nostalgia speaking.

 

[Ura]

The best Zelda movie is no Zelda movie.

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

I feel that some big name studios who made some excellent works that brought them a lot of money have definitely dropped down in the quality of their animated films. For example: Illumination Studios - who soared thanks to the success of Despicable Me, which already had an interesting concept: A villain who couldn't be a villain right and has to look after children he never wanted to care or love. The Minions had a very similar effect to the Rabbids of the Rayman series, and eventually overtook the main of Despicable Me in their own film. Now, with their 'Secret Life of Pets,' it's essentially a less than original version of Toy Story with animals. Not to mention that the 'rabbit' character we see seems to me a very crass 'Take that' at Judy Hopps - and not to mention that one scene I won't say but it isn't funny to a more mature film goer. Not to mention that rabid fanboy of a Minion who squeals at seeing Illumination Studios in the trailer. That just becomes ear-grating after a while.

I certainly expected that sequelitis would be set on 'collision course' for Ice Age after the series continued beyond 3. If anything - unless your confident that you can try to maintain a consistent level of quality or add to it, one should probably not go for much longer than a trilogy or so in my eyes. To me, I'd say Ice Age finished with the third film. There could have been stuff done to keep the franchise fresh, such as a new generation of characters, or maybe finish there at the end of 3, but it seems like it's just a cash grab.
