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

[Burruni]

I am now disappointed.

What Arthur said: "Listen, Lady Kamui, I wouldn't lie! I'll make you believe a man can prevail!"
What I read: "Listen, Lady Kamui, I wouldn't lie! I'll make you a man, prevail!"

And I was so pumped for GoodGaston to break out into Mulan.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

How do you know that's my real age?

I do, 15 going on 16.

If you say no, then all I have to say is...

:^)

 

[Coricus]

You spent the money, why don't you just play the damn game? Are you really that disinterested in it?

I actually asked for it as a present and was going to pay into the Revelations run from there.

I might play through Birthright, but my whole point was that I didn't want to kill anyone who didn't need to die and the first five chapters only kicked you in the gut harder with that.

If it hadn't been for the exact timing of release I would have been borderline on getting Fates, so as long as I'm feeling ill right now I'm strongly considering just waiting out the 21 days until I can. . .


. . .I feel guilty for not playing it and guilty for the idea of killing either of my families. And I'm cramping. And I feel inadequate as a human being.


Happy Birthday.

It's still a full campaign
You should play it if you have it
I'll probably play Birthright after my friend finishes it

I'm so confused right now...

 

[ChikoLad]

The patch WAS done then. He was much more aggressive, and kept lunging at the player, instantly knocking them off the edges

He was still aggressive for me, but I've more or less figured out the bosses through Shovel Knight's campaign.

For Propeller Knight using Plague Knight, I used the Staff of Slashing whenever he tried to lunge through me, since you get invincibility frames if it hits (like with Shovel Knight's slash).

The black and red armour helps too since you don't suffer much knockback with it.

The guilt about killing family is the point of Fates. You're a fine human being dear. You're awkward, but so are we. Trust me, you shouldn't push yourself down like that *hug* Remember, women don't get older than 21, so you're still young, and most likely beautiful

Effie and Hinoka still would be more masculine.

So it seems as though you guys don't really like Amy... And although she's one of my favorite Sonic characters... I can't blame you... She can be pretty annoying sometimes and isn't the most used character, so really, I can completely understand.

Eh, it's just opinions after all

Amy is fine, she just isn't always handled very well. But you can say this for literally any Sonic character that isn't Eggman.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

I dunno about you guys, but I actually don't really mind about the changes made to Effie's personality in the localised version of the game.

 

[A Distant Demon]

. . .I feel guilty for not playing it and guilty for the idea of killing either of my families. And I'm cramping. And I feel inadequate as a human being.

You should only feel guilty if the judge says so. And I don't see ol' graybeard around anywhere.

While I suppose reminding you that those "families" are simply lines of code is an option, the fact you feel any emotion probably means it's deeper than that. I don't want to pry unless you want me to.


If you are feeling cramps I suggest you rest. No use getting all fired up about something like this.

And you shouldn't feel inadequate. Life is a rollercoaster and not a very well made one. Those bumps and turns can be a bit harsh. I feel inadequate pretty much daily. But I don't think you should let it get you down. Such is the way the world works.


Just keep on moving along and you will feel better. You just have to not worry too much about the little things sometimes and work to make life better.

What changes?

Don't be so cruel to Hinoka just because she's flat!
Do it because she's Hoshido trash
Also because Pegasus Riders are my most hated class together with the Berseker and Warriors

 

[Cutie Gwen]

She's changed? I thought she was just a bit brutish and didn't let people push her around. All I know about localization changes for personality is some guy wanting to **** pickles all the time in the US version

 

[Deleted member]

Extremely late reply but I just found this.

Ash is probably never coming back unless shenanigans happen.

Or a dream match.
Or just a non canon game in general.
Or Nightmare Ash.
Or time traveling nano machines.
Or my bias.
Pls bring back fabolousness.

 

[Wario Bros.]

...until the 30th anniversary of The Legend of Zelda officially begins.

Is anyone else bummed that Twilight Princess HD will lack the Wiimote/Nunchuk control set? I loved it back when the game originally launched (sure, I can pop my Wii copy in my system but it's not the same).

 

[Frostwraith]

So, for all you Fire Emblem fans, here's a surprise article by yours truly to commemorate FE Fates's NA release.

The 4th of the Smash Stage Analysis article series at Source Gaming, this time I break down Arena Ferox:
http://www.sourcegaming.info/2016/02/19/smash-stage-analysis-arena-ferox/

(I didn't hint anything regarding this article, unlike all my previous ones.)

 

[Wario Bros.]

I heard Massive Hero Soccer Guy is doing that live Famitsu 500th column stream.

Well, I have no questions to ask him but interested in what others want to ask.

There was some reddit thread on /r/games where someone was ******** about how bad it was.

Didn't seem all that bad to me.

And not once did you consider the possibility this was the kind of person who'll wet themselves because a single text of dialogue isn't the exact same as the original Japanese version?

 

[NintenZ]

Eh, so what about my age, it doesn't matter, not at all...

I just happen to be a really insecure person is all...

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Well, it wasn't one line, it was just the personality change between the two versions they were upset about (from having a "shy giant type" personality to a "super macho weightlifting bronchick").

Also I have finally found my source of cringe for the week: http://pastebin.com/QCCcGJZ5
It felt weird going almost all week without it

 

[Deleted member]

Chapter 7 seems to have a well designed map
This is looking promising
Arthur is literally what I expected
"JUSTICE RAINS!"
He might be the first Fighter I acyively use

Those people need to go to an asylum. Gamergate is the worst thing to come from the gaming community, and that **** needs to die out. They are worse than the SJWs they hate

"I'm a gamer, and I just want to enjoy my games. I'm having a hard time enjoying Nintendo's games due to their localization team's disregard for the source material by cutting content, shoehorning memes, and infantilizes it's audience."

This is gold.

Eh, I wouldn't worry too much about it regardless. I was younger than you currently are regardless.

Though I don't show my age either, but mostly because I made my age up just in case.

... What does this have to do with gamergate? Unless it's no longer what it started has, which had nothing to do with localization, but journal ethics.

But I haven't kept on with it for awhile, so the meaning may of changed.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

shoehorning memes,

THE 'ACCURATE' FAN TRANSLATION THEY PRAISE USES A MEME THAT DOESN'T FIT FOR NEITHER THE CHARACTER NOR THE SITUATION WHEREAS NINTENDO DID! Fuuuuuudge! These idiots need to shove something where the sun don't shine

 

[Wario Bros.]

I've said it once, I'll say it again:

People seem to forget that localization changes has been around even before the NES days.

So... Sakurai confirmed he's doing a livestream on March 10th to answer fan questions and I'm currently thinking WHY NO ONE IS FREAKING HYPED ABOUT THIS.

It's rare that the man interacts with his fanbase at all or even answers questions from the fans directly. This could be our chance to uncover heavy duty information we have never seen out in the wild and have many unanswered questions be finally answered.

This is extremely huge and I feel could lead to a lot of cool things being uncovered. This is why this could be extremely important. The fact that we can ask the big guy directly is a dream come true lol.

I can imagine it now:

" Who are the biggest characters in Smash, and why is it Ridley? And why is he to big?"

"Why do you hate K rool?"

"What fanbases dreams are you going to crush next?

" When will you free wolf?"

But I'm seriously looking forward to what comes of this!

inb4 Sakurai keeps getting questions 'WHY NO DK REPS?!' 'Y U HATE DK?!' 'WHAT ABOUT METROID?!?'

Lol this is going to be so true.

ALL OF YOU PPL TALKING ABOUT FATES ARE MAKING ME JELLY

Same, I want it but won't be able to get it yet.

So it seems as though you guys don't really like Amy... And although she's one of my favorite Sonic characters... I can't blame you... She can be pretty annoying sometimes and isn't the most used character, so really, I can completely understand.

It's not that she's annoying( her personality is great in Sonic boom), it's that she has importance really.

Tails, Eggman and knuckles are more known and more important to the series then her. Which is why it would make more sense for one of them to be added before her.

Gamergate changed into 'HATE EVERYTHING THE MEANIES CHANGE IN OUR GAMES!' or 'HATE EVERYTHING SJWS LIKE!' These idiots also claimed Obama was pandering to SJWs by legalizing gay marriage

 

[NintenZ]

It doesn't really matter, let's just change the topic...

"I'm going be open & honest about pirating Fire ewmblem and fanslation because I won't financially support "localization""

Fire ewmblem IS a pretty bad game.


I definitely want to support the fan translation that brought me gems like this though:

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

People are literally tearing Treehouse a new one right now:

So I added Dank Pit and Goosina to my roster after realizing that they'll still have Amiibo, (Are you happy now @Zoroarking?) and I've got to say that I'm not sure about this layout...

Vididi isn't with the rest of her series, and neither is Fox with his series, or Shulk for that matter...

I don't know...

But regardless what do you think of it?

Exactly.

Okay, now I know what Anna's talking about. For an example, I remember some guy I know ranting about how they made poison a guy in the localized final fight to suck up to the SJWs... Even though there weren't any back then.

Localization's just always been that, they've always made all sorts of changes.

 

[Coricus]

I just realized I have unfinished copies of Golden Sun and Earthbound on my Wii U that I've been neglecting.

Not sure I'm in the mood for an emotional story right now after playing the Pre-Branch of Fates, so Golden Sun it is.

 

[Frostwraith]

People suddenly need to complain about localization changes, despite them being the norm in the industry.

Coincidentally (or not), all the games that sparked such debates all involved toning down fanservice (as in, toning down sexy outfits and similar things).

Doesn't seem too coincidental to me, looking at things from this perspective.

People would be better off being honest and say "we want to stare at anime girls and pet them because we find them sexy" than putting on a self-righteous demeanor in order to make themselves feel like they're right.

They're only lying, especially to themselves.
