Social NintenZone Social 4 - Bring It In, Guys!

[Wario Bros.]

Some needs to tell the Windows XP Memes twitter account about this.

Can't wait for modding to be more public. This is epic.

 

[Coricus]

Yeah, I probably should. I quit the first one because I got bored with the second zone.

I did that at one point too, then later went back and beat the game.

It's not terrible, but to say it's a contrast from the game I started with is an understatement.

Sonic 3&K kind of hits a mid point between the two speeds, while Sonic CD is only slightly faster than Sonic 1 but has enough exploration that it's kind of a love-it-or-hate-it rather than a "meh."

Sonic 2, though. . .it moves QUICK. The platforming is twice as fast and there's brief points where it throws you onto tracks just to demonstrate that the game can't even keep up with you, I.E. the "Blast Processing" of lore. Once you've played that, Sonic 1 feels like such a step down. The Spin Dash helps too. You don't even notice it until it's gone if you've played 2 first but Sonic 1 had some spots where lacking it actually kind of hurt.

As people a may have noticed on my tier list, I actually like Sonic 1 a little more than Sonic 2.

I enjoy the special stages of the first game more, I actually like levels like Marble Zone and Laybrinth Zone as they end up making the game feel a bit longer in a good kind of way (while I can easily speedrun the entirety of Sonic 2 in about 20 minutes, if I skip Chaos Emeralds), and I think Sonic's jumping physics feel a bit weird in Sonic 2 compared to the other Classic games. I also think the first game has a more memorable soundtrack for the most part. Sonic 2 also has more cheap obstacle placement, to the point where it's specifically noticeable (I think it's part of the reason people assume every Sonic game is like this, since Sonic 2 is so popular).

The speed cap in the first game was annoying and the addition of a Spin Dash is great in Sonic 2, but the Taxman version of Sonic 1 fixes stuff like that so it makes it an even easier win then.

. . .Oh yeah, fair warning though, the enemies do kind of sucker punch you when you don't know what you're doing.

You'll learn your way around them with time, but to the uninitiated it WILL be a bit rough. Pay attention to how anything with a projectile aims, don't just jump straight up into the spiders in Chemical Plant, and. . .honestly I don't have any prep to offer for Metropolis Zone. You can position yourself to not be hit by the starfish but they're the least of your problems out there. Metropolis Zone is pretty late into the game, though.

Yeah, I do have a PC; I am not a console player (not counting the Wii U, but it's not like the Xbox One or Playstation 4).

I did take a look at Starbound on the Steam page, but it just does not really present to me that well for some reason...

Yeah, I wouldn't say it presents well.

Basically it's the kind of game you have to play to enjoy, and it's more something you play for long sessions to relax than crack open and play for five minutes. 1.0 takes a pretty long stretch of time to get going, too. There's a certain "get the ball rolling element" to it, though. The more you do, the more you can do.

. . .I probably didn't give a very good impression of it, but I will say this. If trailers were everything a game had to offer, I wouldn't be interested in Breath of the Wild right now. If you're ever interested in giving it further research I'd say crack open a Let's Play instead and watch how the game actually flows to see if it's right for you.

Generations is, in my opinion, the perfect Sonic game. Great 3D gameplay, and nearly perfect 2D gameplay inspired by the 2.5D of Donkey Kong Country Returns. It's just so damn good.

On the other hand I absolutely can't stand Adventure 1, clunky controls and jank *** level design are the main culprits. Of course all that was corrected in Adventure 2 so I'll forgive it. Lost World suffers for the same reason. Jank level design. I actually like Lost World more than adventure.


Or get Sonic CD which is arguably the best 2D Classic Sonic. And having another way to get a good ending without suffering through bonus levels.


Or any 2D Mega Man game really. They're all great in their own way.

Again, it's kind of love-it-or-hate-it. I enjoyed CD too (being a Taxman port probably helped), but some people can't stand it and it is a bit stop-and-start. For the record, the alternate method he's referring to is to track down various points in each level where you can go back in time via acceleration, then track down OTHER points in the level to save the past and thus by extension the present and future.

To say it's a completely different experience than Sonic 2 is an understatement.

And part of that is actually because 2 and CD were in development at the same time and meant to be released at the same time.

That feeling when you realize this Nintendo of Europe question is (in my view) kinda pointless since they're asking this months later. I think it would of made more sense to ask 1-2 weeks after the release of the last 3 DLC characters. Why now? Unless it's secretly meant to foreshadow Smash NX (which I know it's not), then I don't think they need to ask now.

This is a thing and it shouldn't be this way.

I suppose it's more of a "Now that everything's all wrapped up and done and most of us pretty much got around to playing as and enjoying all these DLC characters by now, which one's your fave?" type of question....

. . .HMMMMMMMM. . .

Whoever is the cinnamon roll that needs the most love, I guess.

So probably Cinnamon Cornbread.

Cinnamonetta is pretty close though, and said stage in the background is EASILY the best DLC stage, if not the best stage added in Smash 4 in general.

Every DLC character is a cinnamon roll except Mewtwo though, because Mewtwo was the most loved character during prerelease and thus doesn't need my support and a ton of his fans are jerks.

. . .OKAAAAY, Mewtwo is a cinnamon roll too. C'mere and gimme a hug, you psychicly active 'ol Oscar the Grouch.

So last night I got bored and was checking bad Amazon reviews because why the hell not. Anyways after all the Sonic talk I went to check out Shadow the Hedgehog's one star reviews.

As it turns out, I hit Soccer Mom goldmine.

My favorite DLC Fighter is without a doubt mah boi from nowhere.
Though Cloud and Corrin are definetly not too far behind.

though and are right up there as well.

Been a while since the last Nintendo Direct too.

We're most likely not going to have a Nintendo Direct until after the NX gets revealed in September. Which makes me think it'll be something like this...

September: NX Reveal Direct talking about the console, price points, and gimmick
October: General Nintendo Direct
November: Pokemon Sun and Moon Direct
December: Smash NX Direct (Unlikely but it's a possibility)
January/February: Another NX Direct talking more about the console, release date, and all the software coming out in 2017 and 2018

Mewtwo. Although I don't actually play much with any of those (I haven't even bought the last two).

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I hope you enjoyed it.

In case you didn't, though, there's still two other gameplay variants that might be worth looking into, the classics and the Adventure style. I hear a lot of people don't like the alternate playstyles of the Adventures, but I went into Adventure 1 with an open mind and absolutely loved it. As for the classics, they're great but I'd suggest not starting with the very first game despite chronological order because it's a lot slower than most Sonic games. Sonic 2 overall feels like it has the best element of feeling the speed behind your controller in the entire series for me, although I admit there's a nostalgia element behind my assessment.

On the other hand, if you liked the day stages in Unleashed then definitely give Sonic Generations a go. It's half Unleashed day stages, half classic style gameplay, all in a sampler platter of the Sonic series' history.

You could buy 2 and Adventure and it'd be a third of the price Sonic Unleashed HD was at launch, too.

I regret to admit I've never actually beaten it, simply out of laziness. It's among these particular games I've owned for years but haven't played very much at all for some reason.

That being said, I do enjoy it. It might be because I'm not used to the most traditional aspect of Sonic gameplay, but I actually enjoy the nighttime levels more than the day time ones. What can I say? I love the combat system (and the battle music. It's awesome stuff.) The day time levels are still pretty fun, though.

At one point I would very much like to play some of the other good entries in the Sonic franchise. Generations looks and sounds promising even though nostalgia effects would be minimal at best. Also, I guess it's a technicality but I have played a remake of the first Sonic game on my phone. I tend not to count it because the graphics are terrible, the backgrounds are nothing but big blanks walls of one solid color, and the music is loud and irritating. It's definitely not a good way to experience the original game.

Made my own Sonic tier list.

I don't think these people understand how the 10+ suffix works.

Shadow did kind of push it to the limit, but the D-word is pretty standard for that rating. They popped it once or twice in FFIV DS and it had an E10+ as well. Then there's Ratchet and Clank games that get away with the A-word and just barely cutting short far stronger words and really inappropriate implications.

KI:U also had a couple of guns to it's name and some iffy moments and got an E10+ as well.

I get that the rating was kind of new back then and Shadow might actually be rated T nowdays, but 10+ gets away with a ton of stuff that vanilla E doesn't. It's a shock to the uninitiated but it's something you just kind of have to keep in mind.

And yes, compared to a lot of the words in games parents are buying for their children the D-word is pretty mild. And blaming Nintendo is kind of an insane considering Shadow was multiplat.

So I was listening to Feel Good INC (extremely good tune) by the Goriilaz. Suddenly a stroke of genius came upon me, so I went to the /v/ drawthread to make a request based off the Demon Days album art.

This is the result.

I didn't have nostalgia for half the stuff in Generations and I still enjoyed it. Didn't play Sonic CD or Adventure 1 until after it, not sure if I played Unleashed until after it or not, never made it to Sky Sanctuary Zone in 3&K, STILL haven't played Adventure 2 or Heroes.

The levels I did have memories of didn't match the feel of the old ones anyway, so it doesn't really matter that much. The game holds up on it's own.

Mewtwo, my second favorite Pokémon.

 

[Z25]

So The Go update apparently has also reset some players levels.

That is actually terrible, and needs to be fixed.

Also is anyone else's egg not gaining steps? Mine isn't changing and I want to hatch it already.


At least the Pokemon Sun and Moon News Tomorrow won't disappoint me.

 

[Chrono.]

Oh **** I just found out Niantic pulled the plug on Pokevision.

RIP

 

[Curious Villager]

I haven't really bothered much with Pokemon Go myself tbh, like, I only played it once, didn't really find any Pokemon during my day travel and then just kinda left it be since then, I should probably just uninstall it.... :/

First?

I feel like I'm just getting started. Update both sucks and rocks but it's not the end of my journey.
...saying that as a level 13 trainer with 61 different Pokemon...

 

[Wario Bros.]

The ability to know which route will wild Pokémon live in is removed from Sun & Moon.

And here back again the "BLABLABLAH TOO EXPENSIVE BLABLABLAH THESE PRICES OF THIEVES BLABLABLAH F*** YOUR KIT GAME" comments on the Facebook page.

It's been over a year and people's mind has not evolved yet, and those same people blame the ones who bought DLCs with all of their consent like if we went back to a total discrimination era. Geez.


On topic, is by far my favorite, with being essential to every future iterations of Smash at this point.

Download PokeRadar. It's an app that runs off of Google maps and those that have it can pin locations with what pokemon they found and the time, their level, and more etc. It still works atm. You can rate others based on how accurate they were as well.

The ability to know which route will wild Pokémon live in is removed from Sun & Moon.

That would at least make it fun. They'd have to shut down the guidebook, and websites though lol.


And an Update on the egg thing. Did a lot of walking around, the egg steps are extremely un-calibrated now! I only gained .3 in what should be like .6 or .7 by now. Wish this was fixed.

My 7 go like this from best to worst:

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Somewhere over that Moon there's those few brave knights just watching. Waiting. Waiting for next Sma5h!

And then there's those other two who just moved on with their lives.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

tbh all the DLC characters are fun. Even ****lord.
Also, should I watch Fairy Tail?

 

[Z25]

Which PokeRadar because there's a bunch of them.

I own the one under the name Braydon Batungbacal, the Poke Radar for Pokemon Go.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Wanted to install a custom theme for the 3DS but im so scared off somehow bricking the thing I got discouraged. Definitely not going to do it if I only have an hour that's for sure >_>





Also because everyone else is doing it

I imagine you're referring to Cloud being confirmed for possible Edgelord?

(tobehonestithinkiknowwhatyouactuallymeanandifsoiunderstand)

And from what I know, Fairy Tail is pretty well known. I haven't personally watched it, but I'd go for it.
