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

[Deleted member]

I like the idea of vets being in the game already.

are going to be vets as well when Smash 5 comes.

 

[aldelaro5]

I will always prefer physical over digital for a bunch of different reasons.

- Digital storage can be expensive, especially when it comes to game consoles and how it has become common to have proprietary memory sticks and things.

- It's usually in the ToS that a publisher has the right to remove your ability to play a digital game because when you buy a digital game you're actually purchasing a license to play it, which is closer to renting than actually buying. (Hell would freeze over before I let a company steal a physical copy of a game from me)

- I don't think most of the world is at a poont eith the internet yet where they have the bandwidth to support going all digital, speeds aren't reliable enough and ISPs still have download limits. I personally have a limit of about 120GBs per month, if I went all digital and had a PS4 or XBOne that would only be about 3 or 4 games that I could download, and that's not even counting youtube, web browsing, streaming, torrenting, or Nintendo consoles.

- Finally, it might seem petty, but I don't feel that a digital game is worth as much as a physical copy, less work goes into releasing it, there's no artwork you get to look at before or after playing it, and you can't put a digital file on a shelf to display.

Sorry for the rantish thing I just did.

In theory, I would agree with this, even would add more points like it doesn;t feel the same to hold a physical thing, you can keep them forever as long as you store your stuff which I do, it looks good, etc....

In practice however, I can;t drive.....if I want to get a physical copy, I would either have to ask someone to buy it for me or order online, but then you have to deal with shipping...meaning you might not get your stuff day 1 or it's too long, etc.....

So this is why I only buy physical if I actually either have no choice or the game I buy is special to me. For newer games, so far, I would only buy physical Paper Mario games because they do mean a lot to me, I mean I freaking bought SS physical......that should mean that i wouldn't have problems to do so

I know, but this was about Smash 4 was it not?

He didn't specify which game, so I just assumed this was for Smash 5.

Wait I must've missed the Dragon-type Eeveelution on the Gen 6.5 list.

Does anyone have it on hand, cause I can't find it now.

So...

Out of the 16 characters in Street Fighter V, who do you think is the most fun/fun looking?

I haven't played it yet since I currently don't own a PS4 or a PC capable of running it, but Karin looks the most fun to me.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Everyone else is changing their avatars to Pokemon. Meanwhile, I changed mine to Zael.

ZAEL IS BEST EEVEELUTION!

 

[Retroend]

yeah, I really hope the list is true for several reasons...
-an Ice Wolf
-Gila Monster
-Dolphin
-possible Weta
-A Habanero pepper XD
-Angel
-Fighting Dragon
-coconut crab
-H2O
-DRAGON TYPE EEVEELUTION!!
-The Fairy/Poison type
-Bug/Dark type
-possible Hummingbird
-Bed sheets
-Sheild and Lance Dragons
-the legendary trio with very cool typings Normal/Ghost; Fire/Ice; another Psychic/Dark

I agree. This dex has some really unique type combinations.

 

[FalKoopa]

Everyone is getting crazy about Pokémon Z, eh? I'm actually more interested in Detective Pikachu (inb4 I've said this already.)

Detective Pikachu was already released in Japan though
Why would they talk about it?

I know that. I'm just holding out hope that we'll get some news about its release here.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Your reaction if this is announced in the direct?

http://mynintendonews.com/2014/01/06/next-gen-pokemon-games-called-plus-and-minus/

Probably not going to happen, but I'd be down fr it!

Cant just be me thinking that a lot of those typings are someone looking down the list to see what type combinations haven't been used before and basing Pokemon off of that rather than making an interesting design and assigning the type afterwards. Grass/Electric Palm Tree?

 

[Diddy Kong]

Here's a neat question: if you could choose any three DLC characters to become non-DLC on-disk-at-launch characters, who would you pick?

Spoiler: My Picks

 

[Frostwraith]

Oh, everyone's changing to Pokémon avatars? I can do that too.

But I choose to do so in my own style.

If you're the most powerful pokemon, you should apply to be an admin, fitting for the avi

 

[Guybrush20X6]

One thing I can be certain of, the game on Friday will NOT be for the NX. (Main series) Pokemon games almost always show up later in the console's life as Game Freak like to know what they're working with. They even had Gen 5 stay on the DS to this end.

The first Pokemon NX game will probably be a spin-off to catch the people who'll beuy anythign half familiar on the line-up to justify the purchase.

 

[Deleted member]

I had changed my avatar to a Pokemon one just now and didn't realize everyone else was.

Looks like I'm even cooler than before.

You're always cooler than us tho

 

[Deleted member]

Either we get Pokemon Z, Pokemon XY2, Pokemon remake of some sort, or Gen 7, I'll be happy with either. I just want more Pokemon!

You're always cooler than us tho

I now like you even more.

Spoiler

I totally didn't feel a surge of joy when you said that or anything.

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Tomorrow's Pokemon Direct:

- Meowth in Pokken
- Pokemon Tan: Where Meowth is your starter.
- Super Spy Meowth. Where like Pikachu Meowth breaks out into his own weird spin-off
- Super Smash Brothers For 3DS/Wii U Trailer: Meowth Kicks Jigglypuff Out Of The Roster (But Not Literally) Trailer.
- Pokemon Z is a lie and Meowth is here to break it to you.

MEOWTH THAT'S RIGHT!

 

[Kirby Dragons]

I feel so stupid right now.

I didn't realize Cutie Gwen was Teh Epic Anna until she just changed her avatar back to Ryuga's Greninja avatar.

And I was wondering where Anna went too.

Man. Pokemon Showdown is so fun.

Now I just need to get my team in the real game.

I just play Battle Spot Singles, although unfortunately I can only use 3 Pokemon. I prefer going by the rules of the official games because one of my favorite Pokemon (Mega Mawile) is considered Uber apparently.

Jour 25 : Ce que j'attends de la NX

Qu'elle ait à la fois le même succès commercial que la NES et une ludothèque de même qualité que la GC.

— Pre-order Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (@FinalSmashGamer) February 24, 2016

Day 25 : What you want to see come from the NX

Having both the same commercial success as the NES and a game library of the same quality as the GCN's.

(And yes, Day 25 and not Day 24, as the author of this challenge has simply forgot it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯)

...Toujours à Kyoto au Japon ? J'avoue ne pas comprendre cette question...

Notice #770 Dorahhia/ Dragon type/ Majestic Pokemon would likely be a dragon type eeveelution if this is real...the name follows the trend of the latest eeveelutions; in japanese Sylveon is Nymphia, Leafeon is Leafia, and Glaceon is Glacia...it's also a standalone with likely no other evolved forms in this pokedex list like the other eeveelutions, and it's a single type also like the other eeveelutions...

Laura. I want to be a grappling bud.
