• Dynasty Warriors 8 Empires - purely just a sandbox game about conquering China. You get to create your characters, customizing your army banner, horse and troops. It's Empires Mode is basically where you either participate in historically based events, or one that is entirely random in a quest to unify China. You get to build relationships as a king, or start as a nomad traveling around until you find a kingdom you like enough to serve. So pretty much find a spouse (though the child the game customizes for you can be messed up), make sworn siblings, enemies or take on quests. It's separate from the actual Dynasty Warriors 8 but I found it to be a fun and enjoyable experience for a spinoff. I've always been a Empires fan since DW5E.

This sounds almost exactly what I wanted for that Mech game I was talking about a week ago. yuuuuuuuuuuuuup im buying this.

Apparently the next big Bethesda title might be... a Game of Thrones game.

Just a rumor right now though.

Jesus I hope its just a rumor. I already know I'm gonna be an old man with arthritis and worse sight and hearing when TES 6 comes out.

I just hope those Switch ports for the Warriors games don't suffer from running at 15fps like DQH.

Please Koei/Omega Force, don't let me down.

(Sigh) Thank goodness I finally beat Fire Emblem Fates Birthright this afternoon, but now I can't sleep, and I have college classes tomorrow morning.

Did not have a good end to my night with Dissidia.

Had so many laggy matches, the most annoying issue that kept popping up was the game repeatedly dropping my inputs when trying to switch targets, putting me in a lot of situations where I get bodied by someone I see coming, but can't attack because I can't lock onto them (and for the record, switching targets is never disabled unless you're afflicted by the Warrior of Light's special EX Skill, so it's not a case of me using it at the wrong times). I also had cases where the lag caused animations and hitboxes to bug out. I had been trying to get Lightning up to Silver D rank, and came to one match away from it, but I kept running into terrible matches so I'm back to half way to that rank.

And for the cherry on top?

The game went and softlocked. If you've played the game, you know that it always shows you the stage before your teammates, but for some reason it didn't this time. We were sitting there for a good 2 to 3 minutes and it never chose a stage.

Between this and a few other issues (including softlocks on the ranked match search where you can't even back out), I'm starting to think even this beta will need a maintenance period, possibly with an extension to the time they keep it running for. A beta is for testing the servers and fixing them before release, but also to promote the game and generate interest, and I feel the game is definitely failing at the latter, looking at the reception. It's bad enough that people can't get used to the 3v3 setting (which is also effecting the quality of online matches), but most people seem to be having these lag problems, which is a turn off for the game, especially if they don't have a LOT of singleplayer content like it's predecessors. It's been abysmal, and is completely unplayable at times.

Regardless, I still want to keep playing. I'm hoping to get at least one character to Diamond A (I'm thinking I might make it Y'shtola, barely anybody else plays support characters which leaves a large gap in the team setup), and I want to see if I run into any other bugs.

 

[praline]

I know jack squat about Death Note or its movie but is the movie 4Kids quality?

Does 4Kids drop the word **** or mother ******? Cause they say it a lot. Like cause they think it's cool or something.

 

[The Stoopid Unikorn]

Just saw the Menat trailer for SFV.

Besides looking like a qt and having a good moveset, I don't know which one I'd want for MvCI; either her or Rashid.

Menat has the advantage of creating waifu bait, especially if they use the battle costume as DLC

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Menat is a looker. She's waifu material. Speaking of, Lightning looks really ****in good in Dissidia like, wow. I was never physically attracted to her in her own games but damn.

 

[Ura]

If you want to talk about a franchise that's hit the ground, we can talk about something like Advance Wars or Golden Sun.

Ayy lmao.

 

[Wario Bros.]

There was a problem fetching the tweet

VR mentioning found inside the Switch

If the Switch does get Virtual Reality, I'm 99.9% certain I won't jump on board.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Holy damn those eye lazers!

Black Manta looks sick as ****!

 

[A Distant Demon]

Yeah Menat looks great. Those combos make me feel things.


. . .wait you guys arent talking about gameplay are you. Perverts.

 

[Strider_Bond00J]

Yeah, Menat's slowly becoming one of my favourite additions to the world of Street Fighter - attractive/cute design and looks like a lot of fun to play. If I ever get back to SFV in the future, Menat will probably be one of my mains alongside Rashid.

Old meme, but...

Holy damn those eye lazers!

Shell yeah - Manta looks like an amazing addition. Can't wait to play as him when he goes live.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Y'all just missed a great set of Melee


Shine 2017.
M2K VS S2J

went to set 5 and it was amazing beginning to end.

 

[praline]

Holy damn those eye lazers!

Black Manta looks sick as ****!

Where's Hellboy's vid?

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Oh yeah happy birthday Strider_Bond00J ! Wanted to wait till you were active to tell you.

Where's Hellboy's vid?

If he's going to be the 3rd character from FP2 you're going to have to wait till around November.

 

[Coricus]

Ayy lmao.

Isaac is dying inside and needs help. And to shave.

Andy wasn't even there for the last game in his series and is mostly just sitting in a corner facepalming while IS tries to figure out how to work in Supports. At least they remember him!

 

[ChikoLad]

Menat is a looker. She's waifu material. Speaking of, Lightning looks really ****in good in Dissidia like, wow. I was never physically attracted to her in her own games but damn.

Fun fact about me.

My brother and friends tease me whenever I play as Lightning in anything because they know I really like the character and the XIII saga.

But she's one of those "female character I really like but can't waifu*** and be sexually attracted to" cases.

And it's all because of Dissidia 012.

In that game, there was a weird messaging system that wasn't even to do with the online, but was just a means for you to get rewards for certain things and interact with some NPC Moogle.

Sometimes he would give you quizzes, though, to determine things like "which FF character are you most like?".

I got a quiz about "which FF characters would be your siblings", and got Lightning and Squall as older siblings.

Aside from the fact that sounds like the most difficult possible pair of siblings to have out of the main FF heroes, I cannot get that quiz result out of my head whenever I so much as look at Lightning fanart and think "wow, she looks kinda hot here". It still haunts me.

Spoiler

I'm loving Y'shtola though. That voice is beautiful. And she fights with a goddamn tree branch. And that face is just so pure.

Haven't played XIV (even though I have the Collector's Edition of Realm Reborn), but Dissidia is selling me on her. Helps that she's the best support character in the game.

 

[Opossum]

I remember when Injustice 2 was in the prerelease stages and Black Manta was in the trailer and I was so hyped. Then he was a stage transition hazard and my hype died a bit.

Seeing him in the game now just feels great.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Lightning and Squall as older siblings.

If it's late game, actually a nice guy squall, you would be fine.

But if this is early game, super jerkish Squall, this would probably lead to one super duper ****ed up kid.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Oh hey! So the Choose Your Legends characters are getting shown off tonight? That's super neat. Too bad I dropped the game like a hot potato when I spent a ****load to get Ike and never did. It'll still be cool to see Ike and Lyn's new outfits.

I was just going back on this thread to see what I missed and I came across that post. It touched my heart, figuratively of course.

But 4 rl...

Spoiler

DoR is a completely different world than the Wars World trilogy so it's reasonable that Andy missed that game. Will is basically Fire Emblem Andy anyways.

Do they really? I never saw any indication like that. I'd be surprised if they remembered any AW character.

If they're so in to the idea about supports/shipping and all that jazz then they just need to introduce shipping between CO's and between nations. Dual Strike touched on the idea of supports with some CO's having better chemistry with others but they could go much deeper than that. Maybe even have a story-centric game. Not that i'm expecting that to happen.

And yes Isaac needs to frigging shave. No way bearded Isaac should be in Smash.

Spending money to quit? What a poor return on investment

this is why i've never spent a cent on mobile games.

When's Deke

 

[Schnee117]

No one gonna talk about how Black Manta's outro is basically this?

They did BM really good.

You're living the dream of a Ridley fanboy.

 

[Opossum]

Choose Your Legends stream starts in five minutes on Nintendo's Mobile channel.

 

[Chrono.]

Yeesh, Dissidia needs better... Everything. Regarding online anyway, I got softlocked similar to ChikoLad earlier, extremely laggy and unplayable matches aren't exactly fun either. On top of that I can't get too used to the 3v3 format, I hope they add a 1v1 later one, but with how the game is pretty much built around 3v3 I doubt it.

Aside from that, been really into Vaan. Cloud feels really smooth too. I liked Lightning a lot too, and that's before I knew she could switch roles like in 012.

Actual stream for the lazy people.
EDIT maybe I shouldnt link something in Japanese.


**** I wanted to go to bed, why am I watching a video for game I dont play

EDIT2

Goddamn. Also Roy has Durandal now too. Nice

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Lol Ike is literally just Greil.

Pretty cool you can choose one for free though. Definitely getting not!Greil.

 

[A Distant Demon]

The other 2 heroes.

And everyone gets one of the 4 for free.

 

[ChikoLad]

YOU GET ONE OF THE CHOOSE YOUR LEGENDS HEROES FOR FREE, GUARANTEED

I'm going straight for Ike. Need more Green units really bad. Hopefully I can get Amelia too before that banner ends.

Also:

I have picked the winning team in every Gauntlet so far, but this one is gonna be very hard to choose.

Do I go for team T H O T S L A Y E R, or team Waifu-chan?

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Do I go for team T H O T S L A Y E R, or team Waifu-chan?

If the Choose Your Legends event is anything to go by, Ike is going to blow everyone else thousands of feet out of the water.

 

[Z25]

Getting to choose one of the heroes for free is so hype!

I love the designs too, but I am fully going for Ike no questions asked.

Pretty solid looking update.

 

[Erureido]

I like how they brought the original artists of the games the winning characters come from to draw art of them for this event (except for Lyn, who uses her Heroes artist yet again). Lucina is my favorite out of all the new designs.

Glad that we're allowed to choose which one of the four we can summon for our first pull. I'm picking between Ike and Lyn (the latter mainly for her usefulness as a unit, as well as being our first Bow Knight in the game).

I do wish there was a banner for the 3-4 male and female in the Choose Your Legends poll. I'd love to have another chance to pull Hector!

 

[Chrono.]

I'm going for Roy.

I don't play the game anymore so he's just for collection purposes.

 

[Opossum]

I don't know who I'm going to use the free summon for.

On one hand Cordelia and Clive are literally my only five star blues, so maybe Lucina.

On the other hand, Lyn is absolutely busted and is the first Bow Knight in Heroes, and I love Bow Knights.

On the third hand, Ike with Urvan.

 

[Ivander]

Going for Lyn. Got to get the first Bow Knight for Horse Emblem. Not to mention to go with Lyn and Bride Lyn.

 

[_Sheik]

Ura Coricus

Bearded Isaac is fine though? What's wrong with a man in his late forties having a beard?

 

[A Distant Demon]

Redownloading FE heroes. I havent played since before the wedding event.

****. No. How did IS know my weaknesses. Roy, Lyn, and free stuff. How could they do this to me.

Seriously, these new units are gorgeous and I love all 4. Super Duper fanservice.
