I hate it when people try to avoid games or shows because "lol horrible fandom."

The problem is, a lot of people in the internet focuses way more on the bad than the good, as a lot of people in the internet in general likes drama.

Fandoms are nowhere near perfect, but the bad cookies are only the small percentage.

If you want to play FNAF or Undertale that have "bad fandoms" according to the internet, I do not care. You have your fun.

I like this post, it's pure facts. A lot of fandom hate isn't justified either. One bad egg typically spoils the bunch and it's annoying.

Question to all you folks.

If you gained the ability to speak to only one species of animal (not counting humans), what animal would you choose?

Definitely other apes. I don't really see the purpose of communicating with any other animal. Aside from perhaps for Cetaceans such as dolphins.

Yeah, Apes can learn sign language, but they do not excel at it. Why? Well, for one thing they don't pass it on to their offspring, as there's no need for them to pass it on. Unlike the vocals they do pass on in their own cultures.

Who's he exactly?

He's the protagonist of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic. Basically your avatar character. Basically your avatar in that game, you later find out that your character was Dark Lord of the Sith, Darth Revan. And in the game based on your decisions you could go good or bad.

Though in the MMO, Star Wars: The Old Republic, he was a concrete character rather than an avatar.

There is an incredible amount of cringe in older fandoms such as the Pokémon fandom and no one really brings it up. Especially compared to fandoms such as the ones you listed. Probably because they've been around before the cringe to associate with the said product.

Man, my hair is getting long.

Is it nearly as long as mine?

****ing finally.

Windows XP for Smash

I have to admit windows is actually an interesting choice.

If you all remember that time some guy on 4chan leaked a direct last year(maybe two years back?),
He had folders with each game title and was basically shown to be the uploaded for the direct. Every title was correct.

The computer however, it was windows older version. So credit to the leaker if fake for having an old windows to do this.

Also apparently the renders are not findable in google.

In the end it’s likely fake but I could give some merit. It’s creative at least

No.

Windows XP was likely, because it is the most popular Microsoft representative. Windows is Microsoft. Windows has also a lot of stuff, like in Windows XP you can put any video game character on your background. Of course Windows XP is getting in Smash.
Also expecting Windows 10 as an echo fighter.

 

[mario123007]

But they're right tho

People abuse loopholes to hell like that for extra Pokemon/multiplayer ranks in ranked games every opportunity they're given.

No-they-are-not-right

Iam not sure where you are coming from when it comes to Pokémon since it's content are mostly offline.

And Splatoon 2 has no excuse, you should preserve your rank and all of the stuff. Not to mention the game's main content is its multiplayer.

Just glad that Xenoblade Chronicles 2 wasn't on the list, all JRPGs should support cloud saves.

Again, this isn't really Nintendo unable to do so, it is them not wanting. Just like how Sony doesn't allow cross play, and both Nintendo and Sony just give out very dumb reasons.

I'm a big fan of real honey and I discovered this local company that produces various kinds of honey from different kinds of honey using bees gathering pollen from specific plants to give it a distinct flavor.

I had a sample of this one kind of honey that's apparently "Extremely sweet and has the taste of vanilla and marshmallows" Which is does. It was really good.

I also got type of honey from them made from the pollen from coffee plants that they claim is good in coffee because of it

These are supposed to be assets for the official website.

It's an unique leak for sure.

I'd already read all your spoilers - you know who you are, you're the shmucks invested enough to click this one - so what happened wasn't news, but.

But they're right tho

People abuse loopholes to hell like that for extra Pokemon/multiplayer ranks in ranked games every opportunity they're given.

I'd appreciate a partial workaround in Splatoon 2 where it'd just save your singleplayer progress or something since not all the content in it is super inherently linked to multiplayer (if that would be at all possible), but they're right.

They're not right.

What they should have done from the beginning was have multiplayer games like Splatoon save your multiplayer rank to a cloud from the very beginning. A lot of games do that - single-player save data is client side, multiplayer data is server side. It's not like they aren't familiar with this practice either, as they use it for their mobile games. All of your data for Fire Emblem Heroes and Super Mario Run and so on is stored on a cloud, specifically so you can't edit it.

And this isn't even going to fully stop cheating, as RAM editing can still be done, so it's a poor excuse.

For Splatoon, wholeheartedly agree, but I feel like Pokemon is a trickier puzzle to solve.

Short of requesting players upload their 'mons to the cloud permanently for online or official battling - which would not be well-received - I can't think of a way to take client-side data out of the equation. And so long as it is, the problem kind of stands. You can do dirty, scummy, cheaty-ass ****. And most of it you could theoretically do with nothing more than a second copy of the game, or a willing friend.

Don't think it's a good argument in favor of removing cloud saves for Pokemon; myself, in the end, I'd rather embrace the jank. But just due to how the mechanics run I'm having difficulty coming up with a better solution offhand.

I hope someone figures out something before this becomes the de facto standard for any game with an online multiplayer component, though. It quickly looks like it's headed that way.

Honestly, I don't get why Let's Go would have serious online components because from my understanding, it's supposed to be marketed towards people who aren't experienced with Pokémon. Sure, I expect it to have online play but nothing in the way of serious rankings and progression, just setting up lobbies with friends and doing quick random battles. So it's really odd that game wouldn't get cloud saves. But it's like you said, it's probably gonna be done for any first party game with online multiplayer at this rate.

At the end of the day, people will find a way to cheat no matter what so I think compromising their online service for the average consumer for what will ultimately be a few people cheating very briefly is a bad move, especially since it hasn't won a lot of favour for itself as is. Cut off one head of a hydra, and two more will take it's place.

 

[Androobie]

I used to think that Nintendo won't screw up with Cloud saves... but I was dead wrong:

- Some games on Nintendo Switch don't support cloud saves like Let's Go Pikachu and Eevee and Splatoon 2...
- Nintendo reason for not not having cloud saves for these games is, I'm really gonna say this, absolutely pathetic

Ah, I see they’re going down the “literal worst possible online service” route.

I have been playing a lot of Minecraft.
I do not care what the haters say, it is actually really addictive.

Vanilla or modded?

Sure, I expect it to have online play but nothing in the way of serious rankings and progression, just setting up lobbies with friends and doing quick random battles. So it's really odd that game wouldn't get cloud saves.

I partly understand their reasoning, with one great big glaring caveat.

Let's Go is a Trojan Horse. A gateway drug. A taste of the good stuff. It's expected that the target audience will be on board for the 2019 releases as well.

Therefore if it doesn't link up to the proper Gen 8 games I will auction off my left virtual nipple, and the second it does the floodgates are open.

Besides that, the remaining Go community is actually a pretty proud bunch, and moreover still a profitable bunch, and most of them have worked their asses off - literally, in a nonzero number of cases - to get legendaries and perfect IV crews.

We already know Let's Go syncs up to Go, that was a major selling point. If Let's Go hacking - and by extension Gen 8 hacking down the line - suddenly makes raiding, community days, and staking out spawn nests all worthless, they'll basically turn off a money fountain at the tap.

Best part though - the great big glaring caveat. Disabling cloud saves fixes none of this. It at best partly mitigates the situation by removing one approach - but what it really does is it puts a band-aid over a broken arm.

So we're still gonna see some real **** going down in November, even if they un**** themselves out of this cloud saves business.

You mark that one on your calendar, I'll bring the popcorn.

But it's like you said, it's probably gonna be done for any first party game with online multiplayer at this rate.

And we will all be pissed.

And we will keep our subscriptions up anyway for the For Glory train.

Ah right, yeah, I remember hearing about Revan. I think it's fitting that Star Wars of all things beat me to it

Also when the **** is Team Lyn waking up.

I need you derps to pull ahead so I can get another multiplier or two and crack top 1k.

 

[Androobie]

I was in the minority and felt like $20 for the online service with what they were offering was flawed, but somewhat reasonable. This, this is ****ing ridiculous. This was one of the only incentives to buy your damn online service, and you're not even implementing it in every game. **** off, keep your ****ty service. Can we please boycott this? I don't know what more to say people, don't buy this. Don't support ****ty products.

 

[ChikoLad]

That's my main hang up with it all, people can still do things like edit RAM locally and then save that and upload it to the cloud so really they aren't fixing anything. The other thing is that console hackers who do it for cheating online are not really a widespread bunch, especially since Switch hacking is pretty awkward right now and it's very easy to get banned just by having custom firmware installed on your machine.

Also it's complete BS that they're doing it with third-party titles like Dark Souls Remastered and it's gonna turn some people off buying the game on Switch. At that point it's just their own loss.

Save cheating in online games is only really a particularly serious issue in PC games since it doesn't require hacking firmware to do it, just download something like Cheat Engine and you're good to go. Yet most PC games still support cloud saves, and on Steam, it's basically mandatory.

Bruh, I never expect Nintendo Switch Online to be that good anyway, but now it isn't even worth 20$ per year now.

And this isn't even going to fully stop cheating, as RAM editing can still be done, so it's a poor excuse.

Not just a poor excuse, in my opinion this is as pathetic as how Sony defends them not allowing cross play by saying protecting younger gamers, and then eventually just said "we're the best".

Let's Go is a Trojan Horse. A gateway drug. A taste of the good stuff. It's expected that the target audience will be on board for the 2019 releases as well.

Um, no... It isn't a Trojan Horse... It is a warm up dish for Pokémon fans, you don't need to get it and just wait for the main course lol.

... Hail Hydra! Lol just kidding.

But you are right, however I can pass with Nintendo sticking their voice chat via app, onluly have NES games for now.

I really just can't accept them actually having some games don't have Cloud Saves.

Also it's complete BS that they're doing it with third-party titles like Dark Souls Remastered and it's gonna turn some people off buying the game on Switch. At that point it's just their own loss.

To be fair, while I already said this is just bad... But will this hurt future third party games come to Switch? Probably.
Will Switch suffer sales drop because of this? I actually don't think so since third party games, as of right now, we're never a system sales driver. Only exceptions are Mario+Rabbids and Octopath Traveler. And I hope these games have Cloud saves.

Nah, playing the likes of DOOM and Skyrim and even Crash Bandicoot on the go are absolutely what drives sales for the Switch. The exclusive first party line-up on Switch isn't even good (I don't count Wii U and 3DS ports as exclusives since, well...you can get them on systems besides the Switch, people such as myself have been playing them for years), it's mediocre at best. If it weren't for the strong third party and indie support, Switch would do decently at best.

But you best believe they're looking to bring in big new bucks. Beginners gotta begin somewhere, and this is a nice, welcoming way to do it.

It is pretty odd that Pokemon and Splatoon are not getting the connection thing, considering both of them are big games. Especially in Japan. I think Nintendo really needs to either change that up or something.

A lot of people have this problem. It is becoming everyday life indeed. Life is not always easy. Especially when you mature.

It's hype backlash. Although I don't remember Minecraft ever hitting the critical mass of people swearing up and down how good it is and desperately trying to push it like Undertale so either I don't see whatever people are seeing or there's just a bunch of frickin' hipsters out there.

And, well, people who have different tastes than the general public that think anyone that has different tastes than them is an idiot, which may as well be hipsters.

My taste for Minecraft changes depending on what I'm in the mood to play, sometimes even to the superficially subtle degree that Minecraft sounds boring but I really wanna cut my teeth on Terraria, but I don't think I'll ever see it as a bad game. Even if the guy that made it turned out to be a really pathetic person eh he's disappeared off to be a bitter recluse and Microsoft owns it now.

Sorry for not responding to this post.

Minecraft hit it's peak around 2013-2015. There is still a lot of players, but the community is smaller and less impactful in the internet.

I always thought about playing Terria, but I never did.

Also, Fortnite seems to dominate YouTube right now with a little bit of Baldi's Basics strewn in there. I honestly do not see Fortnite removing it's trend crown for a long time.

DLC portraits can be used on anyone, regardless of race or class (at least, the Protector, Medic, and Gunner can, I didn't bother with the others). They're especially fun with the Celestrians and their rainbow of extra skin and hair colour options:

The last one isn't in my party, I just made it up as an example. The actual Shisho (no, not you, maybe next time you can join me :p ) is in my party as a Fencer, with her default colour scheme.

Just realized I have two Linuses, so sacrificing my Winter Robin for March on Brave Hector was actually not as consequential as it first seemed due to having more Brazen Atk/Spd fodder. And with the update no longer requiring to level up fodders before upgrading them, I get to save a lot of time and/or crystals.

Now, all I need is a Fury seal to really make my mage Lyn broken.
