's cool. We cool. I know it was humor.

I'm just...y'know. Bit on edge.

Not to mention this is the head cold with literally the world's worst timing.

You caught a cold? Get better soon.

This whole "Hyrule doesn't look post-apocalyptic"(someone must not have seen Central Hyrule at all though) reminds me of this post

I can't believe BotW ripped off Adventure Time smh /s

Hey Sakurai,

The man almost killed himself 17 years ago to finish a Smash game
do you think the man will stop now?

 

[Androobie]

either than getting their butt kicked constantly too.

I said in there the game was easy, so it’s not that.

someone must not have seen Central Hyrule at all though)

I have seen it. Yeah, there are some ruins scattered about with some goop on em’, but that’s pretty much the only place where this happens. The only other goopified non-Central Hyrule place that I can think of is one tower in the corner of the map.

 

[MainJPW]

ANOTHER SHENRON SUMMON?

 

[vaanrose]

So much BOTW hate in this thread.
The reviews and the media in general say it is the top Switch game so far.

Oh, it's still the top Switch game.

That tells you my opinion of the Switch, lol.

 

[DarkAuraful]

More PQ2 with a second trailer

 

[Delzethin]

sakurai "it might look like i ahve red eyes but im just tired"

Delzethin HMMM what does lycanrock dusk form have some times?

well either that or it'll be K.rool

Heh. Would be crazy if an offhand tweet like that was actually a tease, huh? We have no idea if it could actually mean anything yet, but who knows.

Has Sakurai ever teased something in a tweet before?

 

[Androobie]

That tells you my opinion of the Switch, lol.

What don’t you like about it? Is it something more fact-oriented or is it just subjective?

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

This.Is.Some.Good.****

 

[vaanrose]

I don't count ports to a system's credit, and of the big exclusives, I merely liked Odyssey and didn't really care for Botw.

 

[Chrono.]

YO those finals were crazy.

GO1 got another Shenron and he still couldn't do it.

SonicFox takes first place. Is this the first time an American wins at an anime fighter at EVO?

 

[praline]

Where the **** do I go in this god damn factory!?!

Yooooo Akechis a paRty member in PQ2, I think

I can totally see that point of view. Not the biggest fan of BOTW myself, if you didn’t see my massive essay a while back. I really like the overall gimmick of the console, the thing where you can play wherever you want. It really fits with my often frantic lifestyle, I’ll always have some time to practice speedrunning Odyssey or throwing myself at Furi until something good happens.

But that’s just me. Do you ever use the Switch out of it’s dock?

 

[Aurane]

BotW has some issues but was a really great game nonetheless.

I will likely never remove the Switch from its dock, lol. Not a handheld guy, and definitely not a play-games-outside-the-house guy.

 

[Megadoomer]

For Dragon Ball FighterZ, they're bringing out Harada to announce the game's producer, who proceeded to announce someone from Shueisha. This is likely going to be underwhelming, but I'd love to be proven wrong.

EDIT: Okay, we are getting a new trailer - expecting that the new information will be the characters who were leaked.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Muted is a tame description for this ****fest people call a story and world. Muted is a major understatement.

Spoiler

I'll give you the first two paragraphs.

Former is a result of a disjointed narrative that allows the players to do whatever at their leisure, and I feel like it'd still be served by closing in a bit on the player's heels and giving them a bit of a sense of urgency. Or, alternately, to show the world more as locked in a stasis than at eminent threat of destruction, and have Link go about freeing it. It's a pain in the **** to theorize alternate possibilities that would properly mesh, but I feel there were better options to explore that would have explained, perhaps even embraced, the generally relaxed attitude towards everything else.

Latter, I'm inclined to both agree and disagree with. I like the characters and dialogue we get, generally speaking, except for the quips in a Divine Beast. Anyone tied to the main story that we meet in person - as opposed to the Champions, from flashback - was pretty good. But even those, and leagues more the remaining characters, could have been made a great deal more three-dimensional. I think I posted some kind of alternate take for the Champions once that fleshed them a bit, would've basically swapped dialogue for the already useless notes about how many switches remain in each beast, and would've taken a similar amount of dev time. But I'm willing to acknowledge the rest of the world would've taken time away from polishing the engine, mechanics, shrines, and environments that really made BotW what it was. Wouldn't go so far as to call it a necessary sacrifice - would call it understood.

Final paragraph I disagree on. Exploration was always exciting for me through my playtime, and I was always finding interesting bits and secrets. But perhaps that's because I walked into each area expecting to see cool and new things, and triumph over the environment in interesting ways - and in those aspects, I was pleasantly rewarded nine times out of ten. If I was rewarded with goods or tools as well so be it, but the journey was in many ways enough for me. Now if you were more geared towards seeking quest rewards, yeah, you didn't get much. But that seems to have been a mostly deliberate choice, making the journey the reward rather than some chest at the end, and I'm personally fine with it. Understand where you're coming from, respect the opinion, but I don't share it myself.

Anyway. That's my two. Won't begrudge you your distaste either way; at least we seem to mostly be on the same page about areas for improvement.

You caught a cold? Get better soon.

See that's the funny bit.

Symptoms match either a cold or a minor sinus infection. Lean more towards former than latter, but it's a bit hard to say. But since chemo wrecks immune systems amongst everything else it wrecks - and hers is pretty compromised as it is - I can't afford risks.

So instead of being there with her the weekend before **** hits fan, celebrating the anniversary of a thing she's admitted has kept her going through all this...I'm stuck here in my computer chair, faffing about on the internet, cradling rolls of toilet paper and a box of Zicam swabs whose expiry date I'm pretending is an unfortunate typo, wishing I could at least be arsed to go out and grab some cough drops and Taco Bell.

I say this is the funny bit.

But I ain't what you'd call amused by it.

 

[Knight Dude]

Support Dragon Ball forever!! Lol.

Also Goku, Vegeta and new info.

YO!!! FINAL FORM COOLER!!!

He looks like my kind of character too. Knees AND Divekicks!

How could you forget?

COOLER LOOKS ****IN' DOPE. Not gonna lie I expected 17 too.

Cooler looks dope as hell.

I'm sad about no 17 yet though.

I haven’t played the game in like 5 months lol

This is fake. I know Red like I know my cousin, and I know he never makes serious posts unless we’re in a private convo.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE REAL RED

no seriously i respectfully disagree with some of your opinions but i can see where you’re coming from

 

[AreJay25]

Cooler looks freakin' clean. That intro is everything I could ever want.

RIP 17 tho.

 

[Aurane]

I haven’t played the game in like 5 months lol

Well apologies but when you have a character that's somehow more annoying then Claptrap is in Bl2, you can't really "forget" that.

 

[AmericanDJ]

Personally, I do enjoy BotW and had quite a lot of fun with it, but I didn't like it as much as most people did.

I personally wasn't a huge fan of the story or dungeon design and I wasn't as interested in the world as most were, but overall I had a lot of fun with the game and honestly that's what's most important to me.

 

[Chrono.]

Cooler trailer.

Him, 16 and Broly for the BIG BEEFIN BOIS

 

[Zinith]

I haven't followed Dragon Ball canon in a long time. Was Cooler deemed canon?

 

[Schnee117]

Cooler looks dope as hell.

I'm sad about no 17 yet though.

He gonna come out of nowhere like he did in the ToP

 

[Megadoomer]

Cooler looks dope as hell.

They've got to save the MVP for the very last reveal!

Glad they went with final form Cooler over his normal form; it looks a lot more interesting.

I'm going to wait until the start of Street Fighter's top eight, but if there's no announcement there, I'll stop for the night and catch up in the morning. I know they generally save any announcements for after the grand finals, but Namco revealed two Soul Calibur characters before the top eight for Tekken started, so maybe they'll get G's reveal out of the way since we know it's coming and save something crazy like a Darkstalkers revival for the end.

I haven't followed Dragon Ball canon in a long time. Was Cooler deemed canon?

Nope; the only movies that are considered canon are Battle of Gods (which introduced Beerus) and everything that comes afterwards. Most of the DBZ movies before that had issues with the timeline, where characters were either dead or alive when they couldn't be, or characters had powers that they couldn't have. (ex. Goku having Kaio Ken but not Super Saiyan when Yamcha, Piccolo, etc. are alive)

 

[Knight Dude]

DBFZ delivers more than we thought. Cooler looks SO clean.

There's also this. Anyway, the next game is SFV, hopefully Capcom won't let everyone down in terms of hype announcements.

[Will]

I don't want him to be canon. Not because I think he's bad or anything, but they'll probably redesign this

And God knows that's some of the cooler **** in the series

 

[Chrono.]

I gotta admit, as awesome as Cooler himself looks. His theme is what really got me going.

Also Bandai posted the full EVO trailer, it's pretty much dramatic finish/base form fluff but it's well done.

It is most definitely that.

Thankfully the cold itself is annoying and concentration-breaking, but otherwise trivial, and I'm possessed of a great deal of soup.

I forgot how annoying the Nopon voices are.

That they can be.

But other than that, and perhaps the wish that they'd be a bit less one-note as a species, they're not quite so bad this time around.

I mean Tora's no Riki, but he still beats the ever-living hell out of Tatsu.

This is fake. I know Red like I know my cousin, and I know he never makes serious posts unless we’re in a private convo.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH THE REAL RED

no seriously i respectfully disagree with some of your opinions but i can see where you’re coming from

Oh pssh. When I have time I do plenty of serious posts.

I can just snark as easy as I can breathe, so there's more ****posts by default.
