So I played through Quest 64.

...


I'm a bit sad, it felt like it had a lot of potential that was lost, there are some really neat ideas (dunno how unique they are, since I haven't played many RPG to compare it too) that could be improved upon. It actually looks good for an N64 game, plenty of eye-catching and almost breathtaking scenes, but more surprisingly the character models were all crazy good. The music was very catchy, if a bit repetitive, I loved the feel of it overall. Can't say much about the RPG aspects since I haven't played many RPGs, I liked the battles at first, until they started getting boring and I ended up running away from them any time I got the chance.

But I'm preaching to the choir, huh. TL;DR I actually enjoyed the game, thanks for pointing it in my direction.

Guess I should properly finish a FF game next...

I'm just about done playing a full playthrough of the Japanese version. Max stat runthrough.

And yeah, I feel the same way(I don't mind the battles, but sometimes they happen a bit too often). It pretty much has a lot of the regular RPG stuff you'd find. Usual leveling up, various monsters to fight, rng enemy drops, towns to visit, a simple goal in mind, etc. It does lack the monetary system(which is too bad, since that is nice to have), which makes items rather different in the way you handle 'em. It definitely has a fairly lackluster story(you can get a bit more of the main story in a secret area, though, which many won't see. You gotta work for more story, but it's still not... much).

I'd say the best point about it is that it has a very good design for leveling up elements/stats. It feels refreshing to not depend entirely on RNG. Of course, this works well due to having only one character.

Man who are half these characters in Injustice 2?

Most of them are pretty notable and well known if you're familiar with DC comics, TBH.

Not that there aren't some obscure characters like Grid.

It would be really great to see a remake or a spiritual successor. Who owns the game, anyway? Wikipedia tells me Imagineer developed it, and THQ published it, but THQ is dead and I can't find any information about Imagineer...

Congrats to Ash Ketchum for turning 10 years old for like the 20th time in a row.

 

[Aurane]

Congrats to Ash Ketchum for turning 10 years old for like the 20th time in a row.

Well in case you didn't know, every time Ash grows older, a new alternate universe Ash who's fresh 10 kills him and takes his place. That's the real reason why Ash's hat is always different.

This also explains his ignorance to Pokémon he's "met" previously and why he re-records them in his Poké Dex.

Hard facts.

OhNo.knuckles
I have no idea where this is from


about to try haxing again. . . let's hope I on't brick anything

Tbh this is actually hilarious and I would not be disappointed at all if this is legit.

Cudos to whoever made it if it's a fake.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

It's so easy to hate one another, and so hard to love one another. Things like Manchester don't need to happen. We need to work to LOVE each other. Let's put our ethnicities, religions, politics, sexes, sexualities, and petty ideas aside and love those whom you come into contact with no matter who they are. That alone can save lives.

My heart, love, and prayers goes out to all those affected by Manchester. God bless you all.

Man who are half these characters in Injustice 2?

Which ones are you referring too, because I'd be happy to explain any of them

 

[Aetheri]

Yo, this Blaster Master game's pretty decent actually...played through the first world available in the demo (there's still one more which I'll try out later)

It's main mechanic is centered around switching between using a vehicle or going on foot, and basically features two styles of play one being a 2D metroidvania platformer involving primarily bouncing around in your vehicle, while the other style is a top-down Zelda-like playstyle which involves wandering around on foot...You can travel around the 2D environment on foot as well but you're very limited compared to the vehicle, the top-down mode from what I played is fully focused on foot since you have to enter doorways that you can't access with your vehicle...it seems the bosses are wholly encountered in this top-down mode and function similar to the 2D Zelda bosses...

As if the mix between the 2D Metroid and Zelda styles weren't obvious enough the first boss was LITERALLY called "Mother Brain" and it was basically Arrghus from ALttP the way it functioned...and of course there were underwater jellyfish that looked a lot like Metroids...

There's a couple gripes I have, one is when you're on foot in the 2D mode fall damage is brutally unforgiving cuz even if you fall from what seems like a small drop you'll just die...another is in the Top-down mode the sprite is strangely tall and it was hard to get a grasp of it's hit-box because I found myself just randomly walking into enemies or spiked floors a lot and taking unnecessary damage...


This reminds me actually I still need to get to finishing Axiom Verge, I remember being stuck at this scorpion boss...then BotW hit so nothing else mattered from there...

 

[redfeatherraven]

A lot of that could be the same reason some people fear flying despite plane crashes being less common than car crashes...when things go wrong, you notice. When things go well, you don't notice. It's only when your expectations are defied that you take notice, and as such failures seem more common.

There's a name for the phenomenon but the name escapes me.

Isn't that confirmation bias?

This is negativity bias.

Confirmation bias is a preference for data that fits your current hypothesis, opinion, worldview, or what have you.

Though I suppose if you're cynical enough they could be effectively the same.

isnt that why bad things get more attention then good things? Or is that not the same

It pretty much is, yes.

 

[Knight Dude]

Man who are half these characters in Injustice 2?

Brush up on the DC lore my dude. A lot of them have been in cartoons and live action shows now actually.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

Is it just me or is there a pheonix wright feeling to Alm and Celicas Preperation music

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Why does everything look like toys?
0/10 no time-stopping fart sounds
Not memetic enough
Sao did it better
Did he just shoot Star Platinum?
Freeze time needs nerf, you can solo the game with it

What the hell is the stat scaling of this game?

I mean, the belt/gun/chainsaw thing is pretty much a GBA. Plus there's the big ass boon that comes with merchandise driven shows. Forces everything to try to stand out
Breh, the show's already been memetic with a BUNCH of memes spawning from a single guy alone
I will EAT you
Actually, yes, consider the guy who got shot did an Ora Ora in the show
Nah, gotta have the game-breakers!

Yeah, comparing the two biases, it seems if you're anxious, cynical or depressed enough they can overlap. Can cause quite a downward spiral.

Sakurai bias also apparently causes problems.

Imagineer still does. They stopped making video games, though.

Notably, with copyrights and trademarks, one of them is up. Meaning that Nintendo can easily re-sell the game(s), however, that's all they can do. Any modifications need Imagineer's permission. Kinda odd.

One spiritual successor is Aidyn Chronicles: The First Mage. It's very similar in many regards, except it has many improvements on the ideal formula(of battle itself). On the other hand, it basically lacks a decent set of graphics(they're very subpar), is super hard for no reason(easy to run out of materials for magic, being based upon Dungeon and Dragons, the enemies are overpowered, easy game overs, you can't revive your allies despite an item being implemented for it). ...Sadly the music isn't something to write home about. A good way to put it is that it's the opposite of Quest 64. It has what Quest lacks, and lacks what Quest has. Strange. This game didn't come out that long after, and despite some theories, is not basically a retooled sequel to Quest 64(there is a game called Quest 2 that got cancelled, though).

To say the least, this is part of why I like some of the Paper Mario series. The action rpg style is present here(namely it's not just sit back and hope for the best. As you've seen, battle is very active and lets you actually manipulate your chances of winning through proper strategy, akin to Dungeons and Dragons).

Tin Foil Hat Time:

There are a LOT of ramblings about Marvel reacquiring its characters recently. Like a hell of a lot. I refuse to believe that it's all coincidence. I mean first Dave Bautista mentioned how he thinks that Homecoming could lead to Marvel reacquiring Spider-Man, Kevin Feige just went on record saying "Never say never" about the X-Men and stating the fact that he one day wants to reacquire all the Marvel properties, and now we have Stan 'The Man' Lee himself stating that he wants all the Marvel properties to be under one umbrella.

That's a whole lot of people in a rather short time frame mentioning the situation of Marvel properties. I have some serious doubt that's all coincidence. That's a lot of people on the ladder mentioning the same thing in such short time. Maybe they're just echoing each other but I definitely think SOMETHING is finally happening between Fox and Marvel and maybe even Sony. They may end up doing a joint venture sometime in the future with each different universe belonging to their respective studios still. That's not even mentioning the fact that Hugh Jackman, Robert Downey Jr., Chadwick Boseman, and more have all expressed their want for a crossover between the X-Men and the Avengers and some of those are some big names that could sway decisions big time. I doubt Hugh would pass up the opportunity to work with Downey even if he did say he was done. Meaning that could be a way for Fox to get Jackman back on board.

Holy ****. There is a lot of stuff going on in Marvel right now. Not even gonna mention my fears for the Inhumans TV show with Scott Buck as showrunner because I have a lot to say about that.

I don't care about the Fox properties until we get Doom back

 

[Verde Coeden Scalesworth]

I don't care about the Fox properties until we get Doom back

But we already have a video game called Doom.

But yeah, Dr. Doom is awesome~

 

[Knight Dude]

I don't care about the Fox properties until we get Doom back

I want to see more of X-Men though. But Doom would be a better final boss than Thanos honestly. His character is much more interesting to me.

There's nothing really WRONG with the X-Men, but I've said it before, I'll say it again, and I'll say it many times in the future

We need movies with Victor on Doom as a villain protagonist, showing his rise to tyranny

TIL Rika Matsumoto did a concert in México.

I would happily saved some money to travel to the capital to see her performance if I knew.
Actually, I didn't knew she does worldwide tours.

Some peeps in Russia did a Switch short film, it's pretty cool, actually.

 

[NonSpecificGuy]

Literally right after I posted my Conspiracy Theory on the Marvel stuff I find this video.

They hit a lot of good points and man o man do I want this to come true.

Just please, movie studios, please!

This is probably the best advertisement for a Switch ever. Why bring your Switch to a rooftop party when you can go skydiving with it?

 

[Godzillathewonderdog]

Fox keeping X-Men is ok too me. I think adding the expansive X-Men universe in with the rest of the Marvel Cinematic Universe would be a bit of a mess. Also if it weren't for the popularity of Fox's X-Men films the MCU may not even be a thing, and while some of their movies have been really bad, most of them have been pretty good. Also we get too have R rated movies like Logan and Deadpool, which is something we would probably never see if Marvel owned the rights, since they've been against making R rated films. So I'm not too upset at the fact that Fox holds the rights to the X-Men (I would like to see Wolverine team up with the Avengers at least once though).

Fantastic Four on the other hand needs to go back to Marvel. Fox has done nothing good with the IP and they're just letting it die. It's clear Marvel would do a much better job making FF movies. Also I feel the FF universe and characters would better intergrate with the MCU than the X-Men universe and characters, especially now that they're doing more space stuff.

Here's some funny dialogue to remind you how hilarious Tobin and Gray are:

Keeping it simple with just the name. I couldn't help but chuckle.

Gray must have some weird fascination for whirlpools if he used their image to describe Clair's eyes lol.

And then we have Mae, I couldn't help but relate to her in one scene during one of the later battles in Act 3:

Spoiler: Rather minor story spoiler

Me too, Mae. Me too.

Has anyone ever looked into "Sovereign Citizens"...

Because they are friggin' crazy

They believe the articles of confederation is the true constitution of the US. Which, it was the first constitution before the real constitution. Technically, it was removed and replaced with the current constitution because the articles of confederation didn't allow the government to tax its citizens.

If that was all, that wouldn't be TOO CRAZY...

But it goes beyond that. They believe that when the US replaced the articles of confederation, the US changed it's status to a corporation going through bankruptcy and with that status as a corporation instead of a country is running on maritime laws.

They believe they don't have to follow the US laws because only the word of the articles of confederation are true law and the rules enforced by the corporations lapdogs, "The police", doesn't apply to them.

They also believe that people born in the US are all born as slaves to the corporation and as slaves they can sell part of their worth to dissolve ANY form of debt they accumulate. Thinking the birth certificate is a bond worth a nearly infinite amount of money and all they have to do is tell whoever they owe money to, including the government, to just deduct it from that.

Edit: They also believe people in the US are legally not people, but "Sea vessels"

When they about to reveal an important plot point but the writers gotta fill in 3 seasons

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Oh yeah, RWBY Chibi started a few days ago

Last week if you want to get technical about it, especially since episode 2 is already out

Honestly, I'm liking it more than most of the first season of RWBY Chibi. Probably has something to do with Penny and Ozpin.

 

[Deleted member]

Penny

Spoiler

I still miss quarter jokes
I thought they'd just bring her back but guess I was wrong lol, not that I ever cared much about her

Well, this is annoying. Nearly got Eltail Monsters finished... and then I find out I'm missing one spirit bubble. Gah. 97 done already. This could take a long time to find. ._.;

So since we're in less than a month away from this year's E3, how about speaking about our most and least favorite editions of it by Nintendo?
Afm:

Most favorite: 2010
For DKCR, Kid Icarus: Uprising and 3DS's reveal and line-up alone.

Least favorite: 2015
For having succeeded to be worse than 2003, 2008 and 2012 combined.

Bumping this question of mine as it has been massively overshadowed by all the recent FEESoV discussion.

Nah it's the vocal minority that hate him.
He'll still be one of the highest selling DLC characters. More so than Red Hood.
Sub-Zero will only be outdone if they add Spawn or maybe Hellboy.

The only thing I can derive from Gray's analogy is that any time he looks into Clair's eyes, he gets swept into an uncontrollable mess of feelings, like how a whirlpool sweeps you away.

Either that, or he's just a horndog who's bad at pick up lines.
