Won’t be surprised if Namco outright buys Arc Systemworks at this point to be honest.

So @Michael the Spikester and SnakeFighter64 SnakeFighter64 what do you guys think of getting story DLC for MK11? Tried to look for opinions but all I got was "wah, SJW **** in my game, can't see female characters skin". If you don't read it, you won't really know it.

I'm hoping this sort of starts a trend of good story DLC for fighting games. And also mortal Raiden will be interesting.



PlayStation made some great 1st party games this gen. (How ****ing there they didn't push this more) Gravity Rush 2, Spider Man, Detroit: Become Human, God of War, Infamous Second Son etc.

Definitely a few misses though.

Death Stranding to me is best summed up as a great experiment but an ok game. Same to be said for The Last Guardian. The Order 1886 had a great premise and graphics but that's it. Gran Turismo Sport was just there.......nothing to write home about.

Seriously though, Ghost of Tsushima looks great. Set in one of my favourite periods of Japanese history, open-world samurai game, antagonists being one of the feared empires in humanity's history, and the combat system looks great. Provided I can be as Samurai as possible and patient, I'm happy.
I'm interested in what they do. But the teaser doesn't exactly peak my interest.

I'm not sure if that's a good end for ArcSys unless Namco finally realizes that their anime fighters are gonna be **** without them.

I wish the Twitter account for Samurai Jack: Battle Through Time would talk about ANYTHING about the game and not just post clips from the show and memes.

Anyone wanna see what I came up with for my new and improved "Sonic & All-Stars Racing Deluxe" game?
What characters you have for Shining Force?

...I'd only give one set of racers or even 1 total. Depending if you intend to group them together in the way Banjo & Kazooie is.

Now I'm picturing the entire cast of Shining Force in one vehicle, like this:

Now imagine all of Shining Force 1's 30 characters in one vehicle. Either all or none promoted. They'd need a bus at least.

...Funny how Shining Force got put on a giant bus again. ._.

Some of them could fly along around the vehicle if need be, right? It's been a while since I played Shining Force (the last thing that I remember is a giant laser cannon), but I'm pretty sure that some people could fly or had flying mounts.

Well, for Shining Force 1, very few could fly. You had 2 Birdman, Domingo, and... that might've been it? I know there's a Dragon, but I don't think it could fly in the game. You'd still have at least 20 characters who can't fly. Though at least you could easily make it smaller by using way less. There's 3 Centaur types as is(an archer, a mage, and a warrior), so you could use those 3. You only need 1 Archer, one Birdman, 1 Hero, and so on.

For Shining Force II, you have any Knight able to become a Pegasus Knight, so you can cheese the idea for those. You have a Phoenix too. More Birdman.

Overall, there's still a lot to fit on the kart, even with flyers. It's why I suggested a bus. >.>

Suddenly I want a Dragon Ball racing game.

I know it makes virtually no sense in the context of DB, but it'd be fun.
There is Dragon Ball 64 Kart. It's a romhack of Mario Kart 64. It can be bought online. It's... cool for what it is. It's nothing particularly "good" other than well done. Depends how much you love Mario Kart 64.

Honestly, I didn't have anything for them. And I have 88 racers (bringing back all the old ones from Racing, Transformed, Team Racing, and even Sonic Drift via reused assets. Then adding new ones on top)

Y'know the more I want JoJo to have an ArcSys title so that they can finally have good games again i mean ASB was cool but y'know it's not HttF the more I realize the roster would probably be lackin', unless they make it another team-based fighter. ArcSys' roster for single-character games is really low, even with DLC, but dude these team-based games go zooming into the 40s sometimes while Xrd died on 23 and Granblue Versus isn't even hitting 20 yet.

Give it one Joestar and one antagonist per Part, you already have 16, and I'd rather just have a single-fighter game again but if a team-based battle is what we gotta go after, I guess I could suck it up, cause there are so many goddamn characters I'm pretty sure you could barely go to 32 before making fans happy with a base roster because someone didn't put goddamn Speedwagon in the game. Speedwagon is obviously DLC bait though people love him too much

I'm just tryna geek out here but I'm stressing trying to crunch numbers thinking to myself if a game like that is even a possibility anymore. :drshrug: Wonder what else did well on that ArcSys poll years ago? Bleach was one of them that passed JoJo (which got 4th i think).

I"d just stick with Max, the leader of the original Shining Force. He's only a sprite design, but you could throw in his remake version from Shining Force Neo. It's basically meant to emulate some of the original story, though it's an Action RPG instead of a Strategy RPG.

Otherwise, Bowie, another fan favorite, the leader of Shining Force II, works. Or both, but separate racers. They don't work together really. Nor are in the same game together if I remember right. You could also look online to see who is more popular? I'd recommend one of those regardless of which you go for. As the series is really really dead, any more than 1 feels unwarranted at this point.

As for a vehicle, they could be on a Knight(which is a Centaur in the series). There's however sometimes vehicles, even in Shining Force II, so you could base it upon something like that. Are they all regular Karts but with unique designs?

If it's team based Avdol and Josuke would probably be on my team. No idea who number 3 would be, if it's DBFZ/MVC rules.

EDIT: Probably Dio, now that I think of it.

Oooooh! Ribbot was at my campsite today. I’ve always wanted him as a villager, So I got him to stay. Now it’s time for island tour to see who I can find villager wise. After that I’ve got a lot of work in shaping up my island even more

That's the thing, I'm trying to make up a roster based on a single-character format and a team-based one. Though, if it's team based, that's pretty much just everyone who was in Eyes of Heaven plus more Part 8 characters. It was the end of Vitamin C arc by that game's release, though I can understand why they just kept Josuke and Joshu since that arc had hella spoilers. But now we can actually get Jobin, Damo, and Part 8 Kira, that's hype.

Only if Segata Sanshiro is one of the racers.

(I'm just kidding - I'm fine with seeing it regardless)
