Sae Nijima could get it honestly
i never did im just saying its not as bad as people are putting it because it's already going to be unsuccessful
Let’s hope it stays unsuccessful. OG Bowsette and Booette were all we needed

So Anthem has been fun. But it's missing......... personality. I'm not sure how to explain it. I know I'm supposed to like these characters they're throwing my way, but something about every interaction feels... forced. And the score so far isn't memorable. It feels like it's supposed to be this huge epic but I can't remember a single song when I turn the game off. And I honestly can't tell a difference visually between all this loot I'm getting. Maybe it's because I'm still lower level but the designs are too real-world-gritty without enough fantasy or flavor attached.

Flying around like Iron Man and shooting **** is really cool though.

I truly believe people want to hate it because it's EA and because it isn't a traditional Bioware game. If this were being produced by Ubisoft it wouldn't be getting the backlash it got before anyone even played it. Its gameplay is seriously very fun.

That said, if you're into loot shooters, the only reason to choose Anthem over Destiny right now is the third person Iron Man gameplay. In everything where Destiny can be given a 9/10 Anthem's got an 8/10 except for the feeling of flying around and having true freedom of movement around a beautiful sandbox. But even Destiny's loading screens are interesting in a way that you forget they're loading screens. Anthem just had a bar scroll across the screen over a closeup of a generic helmet.

I think this could be a really good game but like all persistent-world-MMO-types it's not perfect out of the gate. What I lament is that I'm not engaged by it in the way I usually am with Bioware games. This seems too... "board approved" in terms of presentation.

Maybe in the potential remake we will actually be able to romance Sae.

Also Shadow Sae is super hot and I’m kinda bummed that I see almost no fan art of her.

Hey everyone! The alek poster Writers' Team has learned of the news regarding Reggie Fils-Amie's resignation and replacement by Doug Bowser as president of Nintendo of America. The whole team is hard at work on a joke that humorously juxtaposes Doug Bowser's last name and that of Bowser, the fictional villain from the popular "Super Mario" series of games, which was produced by Nintendo itself. Stay tuned everyone, and greetings from everyone in the Writers' Team!
Happy to announce that the joke has been written and is ready for distribution! Here it is:

hehe Nintendo ceo gonna make some really hard mario levels

DO NOT INCLUDE DISCUSSION IN DISTRIBUTED POST

Jeff: Hi everyone! I'm eager to get to work, here's something I came up with to workshop: "hehe Nintendo ceo gonna make some really hard mario levels"

Paul: I'm glad you're settling in! We really needed some more people onboard since Alek's going on vacation. I'm not sure about this post right now, but I think with some punching up it'll be good to go. I'll add Rebecca to the conversation.

Jeff: Cool.

Rebecca: Hey. I'm going to need a few minutes to look this over and suggest revisions.

Jeff: No problem.

Rebecca: So, the joke here is that the CEO will make especially difficult levels because he's Bowser, right? But Nintendo of America doesn't really do development work, mostly just localization and marketing. I guess we could let that slide for the sake of the joke, but it just doesn't seem punchy enough. I hate to say it, but it's a pretty shallow observation to make, and by the time it's posted we really need a unique angle since it won't be as topical anymore.

Jeff: Okay. What other angles do we have to work with?

Rebecca: I don't know. Paul never should've done that meta post about writing a Bowser joke later, it sets expectations that can't possibly be met. I wonder if the audience would let it slide if we just never followed up...

Paul: Look, if you're going to criticize my work, please tell me directly. I thought we could do something humorously understated, make the lack of a good joke a joke in and of itself.

Rebecca: I guess? But what Jeff's written isn't clearly dry enough for that to work either. I'm tired of this, we never should have set this up in the first place. Alek should be back in the office soon, he'll sort this out. Whatever you do, Jeff, DON'T post this in the NintenZone Social Thread.

Jeff: Understood.

I was waiting for the payoff. It was both not worth it, and, at the same time, incredibly worth it. :p

All the additional free orbs I obtained in the hopes of pulling Kaden these past few days didn't get me Kaden, so I whaled for 20 orbs. Once those those 20 orbs went by, I pulled another Kaden!

Even better, this Kaden had a nature of +Atk -HP this time. Now that is an absolutely PERFECT Asset!

I then merged my old Kaden with the new one, and soon after, I finished his build:



I don't have any other usable beasts right now, so I made this build for Kaden so that he could fit into my Horse Emblem team as the green unit. He also makes a decent partner for my Hrid, covering the latter's weakness to blue units while also giving him Goad Cavalry buffs.

Perhaps once I get access to some other useful skills, Kaden will have another build more optimized for mixed teams.

Sora is actually in the TWEWY version of Shibuya, Riku is in Shinjuku (likely the TWEWY version).

Wait what. Now that’s interesting. I still want to play twewy but I haven’t picked it up yet. Gonna have to get it sometime and see what’s up.

I need to look into TWEWY myself, I know enough about it to know the significance of Sora being in the game's version of Shibuya is, though.
Sora may or may not be dead, TWEWY involves a thing called the "Reapers' Game", where people can compete for the right to come back to life.

To be fair, that lore is ****ing stupid as hell and you can only up the stakes so much further. RE6 involved simultaneous virus outbreaks in eastern Europe, the United States and China, had four separate campaigns with seven playable main characters, and killed the ****ing president of the United States.

Here's a count off the top of my head of how many zombie outbreaks each of the main cast has canonically lived through:

Chris: 7
Jill: 4
Leon: 7
Claire: 4
Ada: 4
Rebecca: 3
Barry: 3

At this point nothing should surprise any of them. Trying to make a horror game that didn't involve trained firearms specialists and Michael Bay explosions probably needed to involve some random-*** guy in some random-*** place.

If rumors are to be believed, RE8 is a direct followup to RE7, though we don't know if the main character is still Ethan. Apparently they're not leaving RE7 as a one-off in bum**** nowhere Louisiana.
Despite the reviews, I fully believe people should at least watch the RE 6 campaign, just to see how crazy **** gets.

I'd be happy with RE8 following up on RE7, there's still some plot threads that I want answers for. Also I want to know when Chris got facial reconstruction surgery to look like an entirely different person.

Have you gotten to play RE2make yet Stain?

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just got spoiled for KH3 by searching up stuff about an entirely different game. I'm so ****ing conflicted because of what I found out, it sucks I got spoiled but what got spoiled makes me incredibly excited.

I would buy the game on Switch just for Sae romance alone (though of course watching these walkthroughs have been winning me over too much)

And I spent most of my morning seeing a whole lot of Shadow Sae art...and then found a pic of her from the animated adaptation...but that and the cosplaying were all great (more normal Sae art of course)

Sora is actually in the TWEWY version of Shibuya, Riku is in Shinjuku (likely the TWEWY version).
To elaborate a bit on KMDP's post.

Sora's very heavily implied to be in TWEWY Shibuya (or at least KH's interpretation of it), he even wakes up in the same spot as Neku does in his own game and is in a similar condition as him (dead, sort of.) On top of that, we know that TWEWY Shibuya exists in the KH verse as Neku mentions it in DDD.

Riku is where it gets tricky, he's in Shinjuku. Shinjuku in TWEWY was only introduced in the extra scenario Final Remix on Switch added.... and it was promptly wiped out in that same scenario. So in TWEWY, Shinjuku doesn't exist anymore.

Furthermore, Yozora, who up until that point was an in universe fictional character, is there watching Riku. We know by the ending that Riku is still very much alive and to make things even weirder, a remix of Somnus (VSXIII's old theme) was playing in that last portion. On top of all that, the Verum Rex trailer we saw in Toy Box took place in Shinjuku.

The way I see it, I think they're both in completely different worlds. One based on Verum Rex and one based on TWEWY.

Perhaps Shinjuku is a sleeping world and Riku is restoring it to find a way to reach Sora?

Pft. Have I. I've beaten that game to hell. All achievements and in-game unlockables and now I get to run through it with an infinite rocket launcher and/or gatling gun. :smirk: I actually just beat the DLC horde mode yesterday for the first time.

RE6 was immensely disappointing at the time but it's grown on me. It's still not a great total experience but there's a lot to love about it for a RE fan. It's cheesy, it's pretty to look at, it's got a good soundtrack, its enemy diversity is nice, and it's just wacky to watch how ridiculous the melees got. Playing Mercenaries is less like Resident Evil and more like WWE Smackdown.

I see, so I wasn’t to off with the verum Rex comparison. They structured the trailer pretty damn similar which is what made me think of it.

I’m trying to beat the secret boss now but at 4 health bars left it gets crazy.
