Since you were talking about Hyrule Warriors, if you are thinking about buying it, you should. It's really fun and it honestly feel more like a strategy game than a hack-and-slash.

But can it toast toast?

As much as I love me some imp Midna, I'm holding off for potential Medli DLC too.


Or Happy Mask Salesman, instant buy.

 

[Space Stranger]

I have completed my homework and I have little to study...I'm going to need some tissues for this moment.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

Asuka, Kurisu, Videl, Syaoran, Louise, Taiga, Kirino, Rin and Mein/Mine. (However you want to spell it)

Anywho~ *moves Taiga to the Good side* A Tsundere that eventually stops being tsun and goes full dere is a good one and BOY does she go there later on. I'd say the same for Videl, but... *takes her off the the list entirely* Videl never really played hard to get with Gohan. When she knew that she liked him, she made it pretty damn obvious.

All of the other ones can stay, but they're all what I call Counterfeit Tsunderes. http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Counterfeit Tsundere

There's True ones that do indeed start off indifferent or against the MC but eventually grow to like him over time and once they hit a certain point, stop being difficult and are basically very honest with them and loyal to them. Very caring. Then you have the fake ones that keep needlessly trying to play hard to get and act like they don't like them and keep doing it all of the goddamn time and never ever change for more than 2 seconds before switching back to being *****y.

A recent example is the anime Trinity Seven which has 2 tsunderes. A Real one and a Counterfeit one. Lilith, being your typical boring sorta lead girl character, is the fake one that keeps trying to play it like she doesn't like Arata but gets mad at literally everything that happens around him, especially if it involves girls. Keep in mind that she doesn't even know the guy. Mira, on the other hand, is the true one who makes it pretty damn clear that she doesn't like Arata, and for an understandable reason considering her job, but does open up and warm up to him a bit and eventually gets to the point to where while she still has her personal values for herself, she obviously sees him in a much better light, addresses him differently, and really likes him and wants to support him. Meanwhile, Lilith is still trying to play games with her own feelings while the entire rest of the harem has no qualms in blatantly stating that they either like Arata or just plain want his big Demonic D.

There are waaay more of the Counterfeit tsunderes than the real ones in anime these days and are pretty much the reason why lots of people, especially myself, have grown sick and tired of them. Rin from the Fate series (black hair, twin-tails, red shirt, REALLY short skirt in the picture) is yet another one since it's clear as day to everyone, even the incredibly oblivious Shirou, that she feels something for him and keeps acting out a certain way towards him that goes against the mindset she often states to live by for a reason.

If you're doing to have a girl be a little difficult, that's fine and all, but let her actually develop enough of a brain to realize she needs to grow back it, cut the crap and tell the guy what she thinks before somebody else swoops up and snatches him, which almost happened to Louise in Familiar of Zero because despite being the main girl of the show, she was the absolute weakest and least interesting thing about the whole series. But because of how they wrote it, not matter how much of a boring ***** she was, she was still gonna get with Saito in the end because the plot demanded it.

If a girl likes a guy, just have her ****ing like him instead of going through an endless cycles of games and literal abuse already! Otherwise, move out of the way for the more interesting girls or just don't have a romance sub-plot at all!

The real issue here is that Japan for some reason thinks the following and loves to state it in anime and manga:

"The more people fight, the closer they actually are and the more they really like each other. If they don't fight much, that just means they aren't close enough to fight."

If that's not the most bassackwards bull**** I've ever heard of...Well, it actually isn't, but ti's still pretty freakin' stupid. Not every group of people ever is stuck on Opposite Day 24/7. Nine times out of ten, if I tell someone I hate their guts and want to break their faces in, I really mean that I want to break their faces in! And I'm certainly not of the belief that any girl that outright bullies and humiliates a guy constantly is only doing it because they actually really like him. That's absolutely stupid. Admittedly not entirely unheard of, especially in my case, but certainly not the most common and obvious reason either.

For ****'s sake, Japan, how about just letting characters like each other? It doesn't have to be overly mushy, we have shoujo stories for that...which can get pretty darn dramatic and intense in a dark way, actually, but just enough to where we can see two people actually acting like they do in fact enjoy each other's company. Is that so much to ask? I really don't think it is...but I'm sure they do.

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

tl;dr : Counterfeit/Modern tsunderes SUCK. Kuuderes, Danderes and ones that are full "Deredere" are better anyway.

Anime/Manga rant over.

So, how is everybody tonight? I just woke up from a nap. =D

Since you were talking about Hyrule Warriors, if you are thinking about buying it, you should. It's really fun and it honestly feel more like a strategy game than a hack-and-slash.

That's because the Dynasty Warrior franchise as a whole revolves around strategies than just killing (The former is something that most Dynasty Warriors haters don't get these days). There are various tasks that you are required to do throughout the course of each act like escorting an important member of your army, taking over as many bases while defending them as your own, and taking out the opposing army's leader. You also have to protect your own bases (Most importantly home base) from the enemy while surviving the entire battle, making this game more about strategy than fights. Killing opponents are just the icing on the cake for which there are loads of enemies to combo or kill with your captain.

The main problem is more along the lines of how people consider the franchise a repetitive hack n' slash game while ignoring the strategic missions that you even do during each war. It's true that most fans find killing hordes of enemies the best part of the games, but most non-fans would label this as a game that lacks any real challenge or fun because of the stereotype elicited. Many Zelda fans were pretty skeptical of the game itself when it was revealed (Mostly due to the reputation of the main series from haters) while most were open enough to try the game out since they want something new. I'm actually glad that Hyrule Warriors was successful so that the fans can know that Nintendo is willing to take risks for the sake of trying something different and we could get more collaborations like this down the line.

Like Joschscorcher would say, Dynasty Warriors is NOT a button masher. Embarrass

Pretty much why I loved Dynasty Warriors Gundam. Just when you thought you could run around just hacking and slashing and win easily, the enemy just took over 3 of your bases while your advancing forces are getting slaughtered by a boss. Looks like you weren't actually trying to help your team or your cause and was just running around thinking about yourself like an idiot. XD

I finally got to play Hyrule Warriors with my buds on New Years and BOY was it a blast. <3

No like seriously...my family is seriously ****ing backward in a lot of things. Here's a short list of some crazy things they believe in:

• They think Obama is the antichrist
• My sisters boyfriend went on the internet, read about an started believing this theory about a New World Order that involves the Queen of England and the Denver airport which somehow looks like a swastika (it doesn't by the way) . I don't ****ing get it either
• My sister and my niece love Twilight. My niece is 4 by the way
• My nephew likes Call of Duty. He's 7 by the way
• My brother always comes out with all these crazy religiously charged conspiracy theories like how Obama is trying to make us all atheist or trying to sell us to China (none of which proven true)
• My parents are religious psychos and believe everything some lady with a bad perm tells them to believe about the world
• They tried to get me to watch this movie "God's Not Dead" about some kid who challenges his philosophy teacher at his college about science vs religion and try to tell me that this happens at all colleges (they've never stepped foot in an actual university)

(I needed to get that off my chest)

My family is INCREDIBLY racist against asians. Not just Chinese but Japanese, Vietnamese, etc. They make fun of anime if I watch or listen to anything Japanese related, they make fun of the language (generic "ching chong" sounds--you know the usual). What makes this all the more questioning and confusing is that we eat Pho and my mom's really good friends with the asian lady at the laundrymat so its not like they're not getting exposure.

Its kinda scary because I know if I never went to school and made the friends and met the progressive people I've met, I'd probably be just like them. But I have a different mindset and as an English major, I refuse to believe I have family members who enjoy Twilight and 50 Shades of Grey.

I guess you can call them radical because they watch a lot of um...crazy christians and pastors on TV who tell them all this crap.

I can definitely see why you want to leave your family...

• They believe in too many conspiracy theories, and apparently they can't think for themselves when it comes to what they believe about the world.
  
• I haven't watched the Twilight series, so I can't be taken seriously on my opinion for it. However, I think it's a terrible series based on what I have read about it.
• Your nephew needs to be exposed to better games. CoD is not aimed for his age, and there are much better games out there IMO. I'm not going to hate on older people who might be into it though.
• "Christian" movies are terrible, and I'm pretty sure only some Christians might enjoy them. There might actually be good movies out there, but from the ones I've watched, only a few of them were enjoyable. I would only recommend those ones to Christians.

I'm going to agree that their thinking is pretty ridiculous. How long until you are able to live on your own?
