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

[Deleted member]

His stats got lowered and hit their caps. And Vantage Morgan being a swordmaster is also slightly disappointing

You do realize that you have to reclass him back to Myrmidon first, right? That happened because he was reverted to a tier-1 class

Toy story 1 and 2 are some of my favorite movies ever. Disney is one of my favorite places ever. I'm in heaven

@Space Stranger

Obligatory tag.

Loving the theming here! The concept of shrinking down to the characters' size was used in the Pixie Hollow area where you meet Tinker Bell, but it always stood out to me that the Toy Story crew really didn't have that justification. Minor thing, but man, that makes me glad. Concept art looks beautiful too!

Zerg used to scare the **** out of me when I watched the movie as a 5 year old 16 years ago. I would literally run out of the room when he showed up though that caused my siblings to tease the hell out of me for doing that.

 

[Zzuxon]

Nintendo better invest on a Peppy game next time:

Please tell me that Falco and slippy have solo missions too.

 

[Opossum]

Also in Disney news, Japan had a new Finding Dory trailer that shows a bit more of the plot, so people can get a good idea of it now.

Also spoiler warning just in case maybe?

Also in addition to that, a Disney Infinity retailer leak. Going off of when a box of mac and cheese leaked Dory getting a figure, we now have a decent confirmation that Nemo is, as well, thanks to Dutch and Italian retailers this time.

Has anything from this game been officially announced first or is everything just leaked?

New Sakurai Column translated by Soma.

Sakurai gives some advice to his fellow game creators.

That sounds very good.

As someone who is currently working on a project, its good to have a set vision on how you want it to be once its all said and done and considering what you are capable of doing and what not.

There probably will come a point where I might need some help though but hopefully I'll be able to sort that out.

Hollywood Studios is getting more rides? GOOD!

I felt like the park was a little sparser than the others when I visited. And hotter, but that's the weather's fault.

Granted, it's not REALLY less rides there than the other parks, but it felt like it was missing something that would give it a little extra oomph. Since this is the park with the Pizza Planet restaurant and a Toy Story ride already anyway, this theme certainly makes sense.

Agreed. Hollywood studios (It will always be MGM in my heart) always felt like it was missing something. Toy story maina, Rockin rller coaster and tower of terror are all amazing, but maybe this will scratch that itch

[Opossum]

Has anything from this game been officially announced first or is everything just leaked?

3.0 in particular has had close to everything leaked because retailers suck.

Star Wars figures generally stayed un-leaked for the most part, with the exception being the Rebels figures.
Marvel had quite a few leaks, but Ultron, Hulkbuster, and the new Captain America stayed unleaked.
The Disney and Pixar characters seem most susceptible. Only Nick, Judy, Peter Pan, and Spot stayed unleaked for 3.0, and they were all revealed at a special event that couldn't have leaked beforehand.

[Mario & Sonic Guy]

I did watch the GameXplain review for Star Fox Zero, and I do agree that the controls will likely take a lot of time to get down.

As for the replay value, being able to redo missions at any time feels more like an improvement than a burden. In Star Fox 64, getting a game over even once forces you to have to start all over, which is a huge burden whenever you're trying to complete the harder routes.

Yeah I know that some people prefer a harder difficulty, but when you're thinking about the casuals as well, there has to be a way to make the game satisfy almost any player.

As for the lack of multiplayer, that's pretty much an irrelevant issue if you're practically playing alone all the time.

I will say though, that having only 20 missions feels pretty lackluster when you compare the game's contents to the contents from "New Super Mario Bros. U" and "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze".

 

[A Distant Demon]

Makes me sad people want games to fail. Seen some people (on this site) happy to see that Star Fox Zero isn't some GOTY and plenty of people want Fed Force to crash and burn.


I don't understand why people want the market to have lower quality games in it. I haven't seen any reasons that warrant wanting lower quality things that aren't petty. . .

 

[Deleted member]

Which non-Nintendo series do you wish had never died?

I want to say Earthworm Jim, but I think it'd be Banjo Kazooee.

I also loved Aero the Acrobat and the original Crash Bandicoots.

Man, the gaming world is ruthless nowadays. It's weird to think one company owns IPs and just lets them die... if I had an IP that I thought was dead I'd at least try sell it to someone who has an idea. For example if Nintendo wanted to buy BK but not Rare, Rare should sell it because they aint using it.

Obvs it's all political and money would get complicated but still.

Stupid Konami and their Pachinko bull****. (oh, and the reboot didn't helped Castlevania that much)

Other honorable mentions include Earthworm Jim, Crash Bandicoot,Conker, Banjo Kazooie, Mega Man X (i know, Mega Man isn't dead, but it's been over a DECADE since the last mainline Mega Man X game, which was released back in 2004), Bomberman (again, Konami) and a good chunk of Sega Franchises (Golden Axe, Altered Beast, Shinobi, Vectorman, Ristar, may i go on?)

Oh and happy birthday Marth!

.......wait, who was having a birthday again?

The only times I want games to do poorly/lackluster, are when the game's themselves are poor/lackluster, as a way of getting a message across to the company that says "don't screw up like this again".

Because we live in a world where the "If I don't like it no one should have it" mentality is frighteningly common.

If people dislike the direction a game is taking, and the game becomes successful, there is a high chance that future instalments will alienate them if the company decides to make more games using that formula, because after all it did sell.

If it fails, the company will realise the error of its ways and will hopefully make a game that appeals to them.

This way of thinking isn't really malicious, to be fair.

 

[Wario Bros.]

So people are talking about the 10th anniversary of both Mother 3 and Okami.

I really need to get back to beating the EarthBound series and I'm hoping Capcom will release Okami in the Wii U eShop for me to try it (as they are starting to add their Wii games to the eShop).

I don't want any game to fail unless of a few factors. Is it actually good? If it's a ****ty game like Digihom stuff, it doesn't deserve a single cent. Is it super scummy like most Ubi games nowadays? Same

 

[ChikoLad]

Reminder that the Star Fox Animated Short airs later on.

 

[wildvine47]

So the starter and legendary names for sun and moon got leaked eh?

Well, based on their names and the game logos I think we can pretty safely say what animals they're gonna be based on.

Solgaleo has the Leo in it's name and looking at the logo:

That icon looks pretty much perfectly made to be a lion's mane. Unless they surprise us and it is the other theory that posits it being a shark.

On the other hand, Lunaala can be translated as Moon Wing, and the logo for Moon works very much as a winged creature (and looking at it like that, it looks very bat-like.)

And considering how much X and Y made an effort to make the legendaries look like their respective game's logos, I'd say it's a pretty safe bet that the logos for these games will be incorporated into the legendaries as well.

The biggest reasons I've had problems with the last original adventure, Command, was the extremely repetitive gameplay and its fan-fiction tier story.

I'm not seeing either of these problems mentioned about Zero and that's all I really need.

I didn't have the time to 20 20 him again

You reclassed him back to Myrmidon, it's your own damn fault
And you don't even need to 20/20 in Awakening to cap stats with reclassing existing
Just git gud and grind

That is quite the resume. Over half. . . At leasf most of them seem like they were near guarantees.

Ezea got a figure? Not complaining because i love rebels (even if im behind ) but a little surprised.

I desperately need to get a Stitch figure even though i have no interest in the game

Second Seals cannot reclass an unit into a promoted class, they'll be reverted to a base class
You'd have to grind him until Lv.10 to then use a Master Seal and then promote him to Swordmaster
