Social NintenZone Social 5 - Thanks, Everyone

[praline]

Hopefully this'll be my last early shift for a while. I'm exhausted... and I just got up!

 

[Coricus]

Thinking about what I'd like to see from a BotW sequel again, this time about the general sort of setting. . .

Spoiler: Lotta stuff, also maybe BotW Spoilers

I think in more ways than one I'd like to see more of Hyrule Castle.

On one hand I want to see it and Castle Town in pristine condition, seeing it the way it is just makes me want to see it in it's true beauty, with even more to the layout of both if possible. Let me train with the knights, let me shop for the nation's finest clothes, let me feel the lives of everyone there as they live them.

On the other, I'd also like to see ruins riddled with enemies that tell a story about the people that lived there just through the setting. A story unfolding in the form of an area rather than just some puzzles with a useless theme tacked on.

Going into approaches to a dungeon that even BotW hasn't tried anywhere aside from overing "this is bad" goop density as an indicator, if there's a boss, slowly foreshadow them and show how they ravaged the area. If there's a giant spider as a boss, slowly start to show giant spider webs. Better yet, make their damage the only reason there's puzzles at all. Leave the player to figure out how to manipulate and destroy the spider webs in order to progress while the wheels start slowly turning in their heads as to why this is here. That key doesn't poof from a room full of enemies being defeated or hide in a chest, it's stuck in a spider web. Find a way to get it down.

Don't make it nothing but Indiana Jones boxes for every dungeon. If you have only one Indiana Jones dungeon and the rest are ways of navigating around monster damage, the Indiana Jones dungeon will feel more special. And even the Indiana Jones one should make you feel like you're actually Indiana Jones instead of just beating up enemies to find a map to get a key to unlock a door to get another map to- basically make the traps more of an adventure and less of a video game checklist.

For me to enjoy them to their fullest, puzzles shouldn't feel like puzzles. They should feel like ways of getting around obstacles in the environment that make you feel clever.

Due to the number of people dissatisfied with the current ones combined with the plot reason for the current ones making them among the least likely things to be recycled next game, there's an obvious crossroads here in terms of what to do with dungeons next. I think the best solution would be to make the dungeons as involving and immersive as the rest of the game and let the puzzles fit that larger number they want but be far more subtle than how Zelda usually is with them in terms of presentation.

I mean, not that I should be talking, I admit this is the second one I've beaten after Phantom Hourglass of all things. I can take a guess from the way people are talking, though. . .

Mass Effect: Andromeda is getting reviews that go all over the place.

High is 9.5. Low is 5.5

Average is 7 or so.

Those high scores probably are from people that enjoyed the gloriously wonky animations lol.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Those high scores probably are from people that enjoyed the gloriously wonky animations lol.

It's actually about the gameplay which is almost universally excellent.

Rest seems to be how you view the story/writing which is incredibly mixed.

So I guess if one is a diehard Mass Effect fan who doesn't mind the various issues the game currently has, I guess it could prove to be an enjoyable experience. As for me, I'll probably decide to get it later in the year. (Read when I actually play/finish the older games in the series)

Having adopted a safer spending regime this year, I'll only be buying the games I desperately want in my collection when I feel like I've done enough Uni work, have the savings for it and when I feel like I've cleared out enough of my backlog. I don't mind waiting on Andromeda, personally.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I have mixed feelings about this.

On one hand this sounds like it was writing by awkward teenagers.

One the other hand, that one line made me die laughing.

The spanish reviews appearing on my feed seem to follow that direction, but they're more stable with the scores (7.5-8.5)

I didn't believe it at first, but Sesame Street indeed has a new character who's got autism.

I see good in this.

As does the Power Rangers movie.


Which is actually pretty decent apparently

Aren't embargoes still up?

I never saw Sesame Street, but this is nothing negative about this. Other than hateful assholes going "WAHWAH STOP PUSHING STUFF THAT ISN'T EXACTLY LIKE ME IN MY FACE" but those are irrelevant

No. The embargo just went down a few hours ago. I think it might end up better reviewed than Beauty and the Beast honestly

I highly doubt that.
Also the live action Mulan won't have any songs. I should fix my mistake of never watching the original soon

It's struggled to stay above 70, so who knows.

And that stinks.

Those are the current positive ones, but they're both from Top Critics on RT,sooo

According to the posts I've seen made here, I can believe that none of you have seen educational videos in general.

You're American. That alone means I had better sex ed than you ever will

Apparently, My Hero Academia S2 will be 2-cour and, like, can this get any more hype?
>Tournament Arc
>26 episodes
>English dub will air alongside the original one
>TOURNAMENT ARC
Did I mention it's a Tournament Arc?

What's the point of knowing how to sex when you didn't learn how to count?
Sex is cool and all but you ever heard of math?

Reading the Reddit topic on MHA being 2-cour
"I'll pretty much say if you liked original Naruto's chunin exam arc, you are going to love this."
"If that[some manga spoiler] got animated, then that encounter could literally be GOAT tier. No exageration, no hyperbole"
Someone help, hype levels are off control

Stop trying to act cool and **** like you know grammar when 'math' is completely correct
That's what happens when you don't watch Sesame Street

MHA is almost a complete 100% adaptation from Season 1 so sweet!
Ah, but one as foolish as yourself forgets a rather important detail
Both are correct, but maths is a more accurate name

I'm also not a virgin. There's another difference.

This is like the Hitler rule. If you use it, you fail by default. See Finn Jones going "I'M NOT A VIRGIN" when talking about Iron Fist

I thought the Hitler rule was if you're Jewish, go camping.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

The Hitler rule is that if you make a comparison to him, you lose
Granted, that rule is starting to be debunked because of neonazis nowadays

Did he really say that

I want to just say no because of how stupid it sounds but life's pretty mysterious so who knows.

"HELL YEAH"

Look, I know you like to rag on America and like to act like you know everything despite not living here for your own dumb reasons but I would like to tell you, not all sex ed classes are **** in america

Power Rangers movie has a 60% on RT so far.

Higher than I expected tbh.

The British say Maths as MathematicS

Finn Jones? Yeah. He said that's the biggest difference between him and Danny Rand
But Iron Fist has a sex scene soooo

I bet you're gonna say 'colour' is more or less right than 'color' next, aren't ya?

This is like the Hitler rule. If you use it, you fail by default. See Finn Jones going "I'M NOT A VIRGIN" when talking about Iron Fist

You mean Godwin's Law
Which is stupid because someone may have legit points when drawing the comparison

The British say Maths as MathematicS

The British are full of **** then

Former British colonies call it Maths.
UK, India, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa....

Not sure about Canada though.

The anime didn't skip anything

There was a problem fetching the tweet

The Mega Man show looks better

He does look better, but the eyes still somewhat bother me.

Hopefully some footage comes out soon so we can get a better look.

You've never watched Numberphile, I see.

O
Didn't think anyone else here watches Numberphile.

Do you watch Computerphile too?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

You've never watched Numberphile, I see.

I actually never heard of that until now
Maths still sounds stupid
