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

[Burruni]

It doesn't help that Bad Fur Day is kinda a garbage game from artificial difficulty, lack of explaining what the hell to do, and having to do just about everything at least 3 times for an objective.

Do people just hate nice things these days?

Because Conker is where I draw the line.

I can't remember any point in the game where any of those points are true. I specifically remember the game going out of it's way to explain things in a funny but still thourough way.

 

[Champ Gold]

I'll say it once, I'll say it again.

The only Rareware Franchises I give a damn about are Killer Instinct and Battletoads.

Everything else is average to me. Banjo and Conker are that special to me considering Spyro did those type of games better. Goldeneye and Perfect Dark were fine but they haven't aged well. And Rare as a whole didn't stand out to me as a kid outside of those t o franchises and Donkey Kong Country.

Retro Studios is a better Rareware than they ever was


That's just my opinion.

Maybe my memories of it are soured.
But things like the lava boarding, the entire WW2 section, and the zombie mess around "Dracula's" castle just were unenjoyable and walls of difficulty from control more than anything.

The aspect of doing most tasks multiple times with barely any varying of challenge between tasks sticks HARD in my mind, though. Escorting the cheese to the mouse, the process of feeding then murdering the cows, THE LAVA BOARDING, using urine to corral rock people into a pit...

It just felt like a massive step down from Banjo's games and even DK64, to me. =/

This is the era where N64/PS1/Dreamcast games are lambasted....

The Arcade, NES and SNES had similar eras.....

Beware, soon your favorites will be considered "garbage" too.

It's the cool thing to hate on something that everyone loved 10-20 years ago.

Conker was a work of art.

Retro Studios is a better Rareware than they ever was.

I really fail to fathom how this possibly could make any sense as comparing the two companies, the only thing they've done similar is make Donkey Kong games. Retro has literally only have worked on Metroid games, Mario Kart 7, and DK games. Whereas Rare worked on far more IPs, and developed a ton of brand new IPs. I love Retro Studios, but they hardly hold a candle to Rare from numbers alone.

Facts you likely don't know:

@Spazzy_D owns a time machine. In fact, he let me and another party time travel to 2008 and look at message boards during this time for research. The info was so compelling that we turned it into a piece for all of you to read.

So give your thanks to Spazzy and his magic school bus time machine.

People calling Banjo bad?

I didn't know I was surrounded by heathens.

Beware, soon your favorites will be considered "garbage" too.

Too late. People hated Uprising before I even played it D:

Well, now I know who to yell at for not letting Waluigi in.

Being that N64 is my favorite system of all time, I' muse to the haters. But Get N or Get Out is my answer to that.

Anyway, when I mention Conker earlier I just prefer the non potty humor one. It's mainly just I'm not a fan of that kind of raunchy humor, as I've never actually played the game I can't comment on the gameplay. But Conker is most known for his raunchy days which gave him the popularity boost he would've most likely died without. Even on that youtube video people are upset it's not the raunchy Conker so I wouldn't feel too alone about this.

 

[Deleted member]

I think I've played through FE8 3 times.
Eirika... just never got potent. Worse than my experiences with Lyn.
"Basically a myrmidon" felt very innacurate to me.
Because your main myrm in FE8 is...

A god.

Eirika was really good when I played it
I didn't even know she was supposed to be a myrmidion though, I just read that her caps are literally the same as Myrmidion->Swordmaster
Which is probably why she was so good to me
But of course I used Joshua, he was even my best unit and favorite character

Smashboards search function made it really really REALLY easy to find some of these quotes. Almost too easy


At least 2 of the quotes are from people who i'm annoyed by from their constant salt so it's kind of funny to see them on here.

YES. Thank you.

I started watching this fandom in 2012 and even I can attest to how cyclic character hate is.

This will definitely help whenever someone claims Wolf wasn't a scapegoat before, too.

. . .

*sees link to article relevant to interests at the bottom*

*PANIC MODE*

*reads*

. . .Well that was better than it could have been. MUCH better. Phew.

I will say though that between the fact that his costume is a Mii Gunner and the fact that Tails can't even do some of the things Sonic does in those same main games (I.E. Homing Attack), I think that even if Sakurai wouldn't acknowledge spinoffs, he'd probably make something tech-based up for some moves that would still fit with the character.

 

[Champ Gold]

So can anyone help me on the transfer of profiles over to the New 3DS to the old 3DS. I seriously don't wanna lose all of my DLC. Especially when I still have Smash and I just want to trade in my old 3DS for a new one.


I own the games physically except for 3 VC games and SSF4 3D

 

[ChikoLad]

The reason why Conker didn't explain things as much as other 3D platformers is because it was an M-Rated game.

It expects you to be an adult who can think for yourself and learn through experimentation. It's also why it's a very difficult game.

Even so, it explained things fairly well anyway.

If you couldn't play it and have fun with it because you thought it was too difficult, then no offense, you were probably too young to be playing it at the time.

 

[DraconicPsycho]

I never did beat conker's...was it good? Should I buy it?

So Spazzy is a Doctor?
Huh. I didn't know.

I think I finally understand Cutie Gwen 's obsession with this gal now.

She is dangerously cute in Fates.

It's amazing if you're an adult but it might be too difficult for younger people and some of the game's themes and jokes may be lost on younger people too.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

The original Conker's Bad Fur Day is great.

The remake however, got ruined by Microsoft telling the crew to censor more naughty words than **** and boring multiplayer.

R.I.P. The Perfect Sloprano song

Ha ha ha...exactly right.

So you see, they're a perfect representative of the masses we needed to compare. This is why we chose them.

They fit right into the context we required. A resounding success.

YES. Thank you.

It was originally going to be my own article focusing on just Wolf; when Delzethin expressed interest, it resulted in what we have now. It's arguably better because of it.

Huh. I didn't know.

An 8-bit doctor.

I bought Fire Emblem a few days ago, because everyone was telling me to play it recently.

Spoiler

I like it a lot.

Lyn's theme is probably the only song I remember from that game beyond the Battle Medley remix from Smash.

 

[Burruni]

I think I finally understand Cutie Gwen 's obsession with this gal now.

She is dangerously cute in Fates.

It's still a little shocking how the voice changed drastically from Awakening to Fates.
She's basically 1:1 to Aigis now.

Edit: And it tangentially reminded me to use these songs for any fight against my siblings...

 

[Z25]

Beat chapter 11 in Conquest. It was pretty good! I like how the story developed in it.

EDIT: More Nintendo Select news:

There was a problem fetching the tweet

 

[aldelaro5]

That's been known about for a while. Son of a Glitch did a fairly thorough video on the subject.

Yeah, I am in the paper mario speedrun discord and I can say that the channel about pj is.....super active because there's jsut tons of findings.

And it became to a poitn where I still like the game and I think it's a really good game as m&l and I lvoe the Paper Mario side of it BUT MAN, THE ENGINERRING SUCKS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH!

And this isn't the kind of "oh they'll just patch it", NO, it is inherently bad so much that you can't patch most of the game.

The engine has broken colisions, the cutscenes are poorly managed (it's really easy to have input controls and mess them) and imo the worst sin they have done is to assume success on battles so therE's a gltich called IBG (instant battles gltich) that is possible.

I already said the game was partially rushed because of the abundance of paper toads stuff, but this video shows how much rushed it was in the engineering. trust me, it's really bad programming.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Lyn's theme is probably the only song I remember from that game beyond the Battle Medley remix from Smash.

FE7 has the most memorable tracks to me, I remember pretty much all the battle themes, with Thracia's, the VS Black Fang, and Campaign of Dragon sticking out the most

It's a good deal for it! Cheaper then buying it for like $40 for the N64.

And it has significant improvements ie the way Heavy Boots work so the Water Temple is no where near as tedious.

Water temple was one of the more fun temples imo

But **** the fire temple in the belly button

Softly with Grace is the Black Fang's theme and one of my favorites(which I associate more with Ursula tbh)
Campaign of Fire is also great
And Everything Into Dark, Nergal's battle theme

 

[Cutie Gwen]

If you mean social forums, I don't think so, otherwise, it's one by one
Also, I found out who the girl from the 'too many waifu will cost your laifu' image is! You'd think she's a Jojo character
