Social NintenZone Social 6.0 - L'Arachel Edition, Apparently?

[Chrono.]

Watching the Discussion Thread in chaos be like:

The desperation and chaos be real.

That being said, that Magikarp CaS is the most creative CaS I have ever seen. That one is amazingly creative.

I took a break from the place when it became clear that discussions there were just folks spinning their wheels over and over and over.

That said, what happened this time?

Playing an Arkham Asylum boss fight starring Bane...should’ve played this game years ago instead of skipping to City and Knight

Is Starlink worth the price, even if you don’t buy all the toys? Thinking about buying it.

I've been having a great time with it thus far, so I definitely recommend it.

I bought the physical edition, and although it comes with less than the digital deluxe version, I haven't had any issues. If you're not interested in the physical components, like the Arwing model, then going digital would be a better deal.

Just, wow. I didn't know he could do that!

Uh, not a fan of Fortnite myself, so...

No context given. If this dog were to date a different species of animal, what animal would it be?

If you don't want the toy route, go for the deluxe digital edition.

For $80 you get 9 pilots, 5 ships, and 15 weapons (plus an additional pilot, ship, and bonus missions if getting the Switch version)

I hated Arkham Knight so much.

Cub.

I could see that doggo dating a marten.

That said, what happened this time?

CoroCoro switched from 108 stages to 103 stages much like the Direct. So basically, people despair, box theory chance 'rises', people despair about box theory, mah Steve, etc.

By the way, those with Soul Calibur 6, at some point, I better see William Adams created as a CaS, considering he did exist around the time that Soulcalibur VI takes place.

 

[redfeatherraven]

I mean.



Stay on theme, I guess.

 

[Dyllybirdy]

Heh, Shadowknight1 created Rottytops for me in Soul Calibur.

I'm actually a little surprised we haven't seen any worthwhile Smash leaks or "leaks" lately.

 

[ChikoLad]

I'm testing out recording HDR games on PS4 Pro. I don't have an actual 4K HDR capture card for the PS4 Pro but I'm trying to simulate a similar kind of colour range with what I've got for now, using a colour correction filter in OBS.

How do the colours look here?

I'm considering streaming Spider-Man PS4 (downloading it right now) and I want to do a playthrough of Spyro: Reignited Trilogy when it comes out. Spider-Man has HDR and Spyro probably will so that's why I'm trying to figure this out.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

I mean.

I dont have her card. Im missing a good few cards. Im probably gonna give him a Bear or Cub

Or have his hubby be Digby lol

 

[Knight Dude]

I got some ad that asked what game I wanted to buy next, and the choices were TwitchCon, PAX, Comic Con and some other thing. Y'know, the famous Twitch Videogame series.

Hoping it stays that way.

 

[ChikoLad]

The new DLC character for Dissidia NT came out yesterday as well as some new story stuff.

I wish we got more cutscenes like this.

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[Chrono.]

Haha wow, Nitro Rad is ****ing pissed.

Long story short he hated the game and it's not hard to see why. Just surprising a game out there managed to frustrate him more than Bubsy 3D, and even in that review he didn't sound as annoyed as he did here.

 

[Professor Pumpkaboo]

This is what happens when a game wasnt ass successful as you thought it was

No it isn't, it's an independent project by DreamPrism Press. Playtonic have given their blessing but they're not otherwise involved.

It's more or less a fan project that has been given the OK by the original IP creator.

That art is ugly lol

So... Do we got any new Pokémon GBC ROM hacks lately? I'm kinda bored.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Speaking of Pokémon hacks, I wish we could get occasional progress updates on the Gold prototype translation.

We really don't know how far it's in (I know a project such as this will take a long time to finish but still)

then ill go with "This is what happens when you let fans make a grapic novel of your ok game"

So I picked up Octopath Traveller recently. Kind of late to the party, but oh well.

I started with Ophilia, mainly for two reasons:
- having full-party healing early on is really useful
- if you start with her and go clockwise around the map picking up the other characters, you can recruit them in order such that their initials spell out "Octopath", and I refuse to believe this isn't intentional (being able to recruit them in that order, not just the fact that their initials spell out "Octopath")

I like the battle system quite a bit. The BP system combined with things like how defending pushes you to the top of the turn order is quite interesting. It makes it one of a handful of games where I feel you really need to be aware of the order in which your allies will attack; a lot of situations come up where you can have someone defend in order to gain the BP and move before the enemy, and that can be the difference between getting a break and shutting down a really powerful attack, or getting half your party knocked out... well, it would be if the battles were actually challenging. Maybe it gets better in that area later on. Battles are pretty standard outside of that, but that adds enough to make them a lot more interesting, for me.

I'm kind of disappointed that the field actions have so much overlap. There's only really four actions, and they're only slightly different in how they function. One or two cases I'm fine with, like Therion's stealing items from NPCs vs. Tressa's ability to buy them instead, but they could probably have given people like H'aanit or Alfyn something more interesting and unique to their personality. In the end it kind of feels like a weak attempt at emulating what Final Fantasy VI did in giving each character a unique battle ability.

Haven't gotten into sub-classing yet, but based on what I've heard about it, it sounds kind of eh, since it seems to let you cover every class in a single party, instead of prompting meaningful decisions on which to leave behind. I'm guessing the idea is to let you cover everything no matter who's in your party, and deciding on who to bring ends up being about just who you like most as a character, which isn't necessarily such a bad thing, but that doesn't always make for the most interesting gameplay.

I want to wait until I'm further along in the game before judging on something like the separate stories not coming together, but even early on I can see where those complaints are coming from. Like, it doesn't seem to make much sense for Therion to just accept the help of some bunch of randomers who only just walked into town and who he's never met before, so it would have been nice if he had some backstory with some of the other characters, or something.

I like the graphics overall, but they don't always look the best - sometimes characters' sprites can look a bit blurry and poorly defined. It might just be because of weird scaling as a result of manipulating 2D sprites in 3D space. It looks better than I remember it being in the first demo, at least, I remember that looking really rough in parts.

The music is pretty good too.

Maybe I’m missing some here, but I don’t think expanding an IP to another medium is a case of a game being unsuccessful. Quite the opposite, actually.

I got tired of waiting for Nintendo of America to localize it, so I finally played through New Mystery of the Emblem. Up until now I've only watched playthroughs of it. Long story short, I loved it. Let me actually buy it from you, Nintendo.

- Palla is, like always, absolutely broken, but she's turned up to eleven since you get her incredibly early. Damn, Palla.
- My Marth got absolutely blessed, stat-wise. He somehow capped four of his stats by endgame without stat boosters.
- Merric is still Best Boy. Made the Gharnef map a total joke.
- Music is wonderful as always. Tearing Shadows, Dark Emperor Hardin, and Holy War stand out as bangers.
- You know that map right before Gharnef's? **** that map lol. I gently open the door and bam, a slew of dragons and Meteor sorcerers.
- Wyrmslayer x Dragonpike OTP.
- Marth x Caeda also OTP.
- Julian x Lena also also OTP. Put them in Heroes, IS. What are you waiting for?
- Beck what the **** are you doing in a frozen wasteland. Don't give me the excuse that you weren't in OG Mystery.
- Like in Shadow Dragon, Astram is a pain in the Astram when he's on the enemy side and you're going in blindish.
- Man I love Ogma. I don't want to hear any of y'all complain when you pull him in Heroes because he's the best. I already loved him in Shadow Dragon but New Mystery just propels him further.
- Had to take a double take in the final battle when Medeus called Marth the Descendant of Anri. It was in all caps so it looked like Descendant of Anal.
- Kris is made infinitely more tolerable if you choose to accept the goofy hair and hat options. Wrys shaved his head, dammit.
- I didn't realize Malledus straight up got cut entirely until the last two chapters of the game.
- I have some criticism over how certain characters were handled, but since this is a Positive Post™ I'll discuss that later, if people are interested.

Seriously though, NoA. Localize this so I can give you money for it.

So, when I get a Switch, what games do you all recommend? Not sure what else to get aside from Ultimate, BOTW, and MM11.

BotW, Odyssey, The Messenger, SteamWorld Dig 1 and 2.

Have you heard of Crystal Clear?

BotW, Odyssey, The Messenger, SteamWorld Dig 1 and 2.

Definitely some good titles there. What do you think about the upcoming FE game?

Puyo Puyo Tetris, Bayonetta 1 & 2, and Mario + Rabbids come to mind

Well, you're in luck, because I happened to finish one of my favorite indie games of all time.

Spoiler: Iconoclasts

It released on Steam and Playstation in January of this year, but then got ported to the Switch a few months ago in August. It's a Metriodvania-esque game with a gorgeous art style and a pretty cool soundtrack, so if you're into that, definitely have this game on your wishlist. I'm gonna replay this and record a playthrough of it, but once you get the chance, give it a shot.

 

[Chrono.]

Mario Odyssey, The Messenger, Hollow Knight, The World Ends With You, Okami HD, Octopath Traveler, Xenoblade 2, Dragon Ball FighterZ, DB Xenoverse 2 and Sonic Mania.

There's a couple of others I hear are good like Iconoclasts, Starlink and Valkyria Chronicles 4 but I haven't played those.

 

[Idon]

Interested, but cautious.
Not sure how I feel about the new army system and they're bringing back the avatar character again, albeit not in a leading role.
Really disappointed in the art reverting to its Awakening/Fates style instead of the gorgeous Shadows of Valentia style.

Holy ****, do I hope that there's less emphasis on romance and especially less emphasis on the ****ING CHILDREN.

Is it possible to make Sir Daniel Fortesque in Soul Calibur VI?

 

[Ivander]

Doh.

Just to ask, was this about, "Help yourself."? I mean....you do know that it's another way of saying, "Go ahead.", especially in regards to food. I mean, there is the saying, "There's plenty of food. Help yourselves."

 

[praline]
