Social Swamp's Social Thread 3 - And now, the end is near, and so I face the final curtain...

So Kanye West actually showed off footage of the video game he's making.

A lot of people seem to be making really brash assumptions and calling it **** because "lol Kanye West", but nothing really stands out as terrible about it to me. It's a teaser trailer so we have no idea of how it would play, but the presentation is promising, and it is all in-engine.

I played Awakening without marrying a single unit, and this will happen again when I play Fates.

Why might you ask? Marrying my units doesn't interest me, I gave it a shot twice in Awakening but I became bored within the first few minutes. It's okay, though. All I need is tactics.

I don't mind it and I did a FEA run without a marriage twice and it didn't effect anything or anyone but damn it does make a bittersweet ending if you don't.

His whole life and history gets lost in time and is somewhat forgotten which is goddamn sad when you think about it

I got some good replays in Smash last night.

I managed to two stock a very good ZSS as Corrin. Connection was really good too, goes to show how much of a difference that makes. Overall, it was a really fun match so I uploaded it.

The others I will just link to with GIFs, since they were mostly matches with a specific moment I wanted to highlight.

I found a little denial you can do to Ryu's Side B with Corrin's Neutral B. It looks pretty cool. I did it twice in the match, but the second time finished the match.

And here, I got a 0-to-KO on a Meta Knight as Rosalina. It was an inescapable true combo too. Rosalina mains tend to whine about the Meta Knight MU a lot, so this may be worth labbing to try and re-create, even if it was rage based.

And this one was just me being a ****.

I married the units on my central team, but everyone else and the children I waited until after I beat the game to do anything with. I don't think I even used the pair up mechanic my first time through.

I like the concept of supports, but I don't like the new atmosphere behind them now. I play FE for tactics and story, not matchmaking anime characters.

BTW is there a storyline reason for children in Fates?

I'm not surprised. It's not like people don't know of this thread after all.

 

[Deleted member]

I'm only marrying all the units in Fates for the chidren Paralogues
I hear you can grind supports but not Exp in Streetpass battles(and I believe online as well, I'm not sure, maybe even spotpass if that's still a thing)
I can't care about marrying the children units
Except Foleo
Still waiting to see what his US name will be

It's refreshing to play Earthbound again, especially on a Saturday morning. #earthbound

I'm also downloading Oddworld, because I feel story-wise, it will appeal to me.

You know I think I'd really like to see a LEGO fighting game.

Use the Lego Dimensions cast and add some new characters and it'd be super fun what you can do. Include a building gimmick, and all types of different stages.

Also bring back Lego Universe

This would be really cool. Add custom characters and the Lego breaking noise for whenever someone loses and Im sold.

Why a lot of people hates the great maze in brawl? I played it before and I don't see something wrong with I like how it's big area and tricky.

 

[Chrono.]

You get married, have kids, send the babies to the babyrealm "deeprealm" where they grow up incredibly fast and then pull them back to add them as an unit.

I'm serious.

Weeeell... Now I'm almost feeling sympathy for how Awakening handled marriage.

 

[ChikoLad]

Because they need to git gud.

Nah but people seem to complain about the gameplay shift of it being more like Metroid in terms of the layout, and the fact it re-uses assets.

I didn't really mind in either case though. Having a Metroid style level was a cool change of pace. And although it re-uses assets, the layouts are still mostly new, some even having new assets.

It's basically a culmination of everything you have learned to that point and I enjoyed that.

 

[Chrono.]

I actually liked The Great Maze.

Least it wasn't nowhere near as messy as Sakurai's other Metroidvania outing (Amazing Mirror).

So basically
Yoshi's Island

>Get Married
Mama Mia and Papa Pia (Yes, that's their actual names) get married
>Have kids
Baby Mario & Luigi obtained
>Send the babies to the "Deeprealm"
Over to Stork Land with them
>Grow up incredibly fast
Yoshi's Island, Yoshi's New Island (Wrong House) and Yoshi's Island DS (Right house, but gets kidnapped again) happen in the span of literally 2 nights (Night 1: YI and YNI, Night 2: YIDS)
>Pull them back and send 'em into the frontlines
is suddenly an adult (And for some reason capable of time travel if New Island tells us anything) doing plumbing, construction and carrying bombs in World War 2 for some reason before being taken to the Mushroom Kingdom where his house is if New Island is telling us anything, and if that's the case how did he get to Brooklyn

Bada-boom
We got us story

Terrible Review Time:

The Wind Waker is actually pretty boring in long gameplay sessions. It's because everything is stupendously easy and the exploration just to fill the map squares is repetitive as heck. Doesn't help that it's cartoonish and the world isn't too great since there's only like, 3 worthwhile islands outside the starting Outset? I quickly stopped being bothered to fight any great ocean enemies and just simply Swift Sailed past them. I only fight the things I need to in order to move on or get that one teleporting song.

I do enjoy some of the characters and the story cut scenes a lot. That's the best part imo. Some items are pretty awesome like the green leaf or that rope-hook. Music is pretty good too but only some of it really stands out. The dungeons have pretty great themes and there's a few puzzles that were challenging and bosses were creative yet very quick to figure out and barely had any challenge. Really enjoyed the stealth based (mini?)-dungeon and anything to do with Tetra & the Pirates was very enjoyable. The evolution of the Kokiri & Zora's into humanoid birds & seeds with leafs as faces will never make sense to me but that's okay as I found them both creative and cute. The graphics are nice and clean but it was expected for that art style on a HD console. Lighting is great.

I basically have 2 dungeons, 1 mini dungeon & 3 triforce shards to go and I already knew what I think of the game before this point. I really doubt my score will change and if anything it would increase by max 0.5.

7/10.

Now to order the Zelda's I played based on my opinion: OOT = ALBW > TMC > WW > LA.
I'm guessing 4-5 hours and I'll be done with WW HD sometime next week. I won't bother with any side stuff I missed once I finish the story.

Question: Does anyone think Mike Tison could be a character in Smash?

 

[Wolfie557]

Question: Does anyone think Mike Tison could be a character in Smash?

It will never happen my friend. It's not a video game character. But if it counts then I don't see it happening either way. Punchout has other characters that could get in and the series getting another playable character is extremely unlikely in my book.

 

[Schnee117]

Why a lot of people hates the great maze in brawl? I played it before and I don't see something wrong with I like how it's big area and tricky.

Because it's sheer laziness.
They reused areas from earlier in the game, changed a few things and added connectivity between them with various fights.
I mean it makes sense but that doesn't exactly forgive the glaring issues it has.

Question: Does anyone think Mike Tison could be a character in Smash?

> Real Life person

 

[A Distant Demon]

I still love everything about SSE.

Question: Does anyone think Mike Tison could be a character in Smash?

1. We would probably wind up getting Mr Dream
2. no
3. We would be lucky to get another Punchout character at all

Dude

Why don't they

Make everyone have tons of babies to raise armies of badasses.

There's nothing ethically wrong with that right ???
