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

[PsychoIncarnate]

Which was the 2nd one?

The Wand of Gamelon and Zelda's Adventure

 

[Swamp Sensei]

How many days is the question?

If it's like 6 days then it could probably be referenced towards other game's weekly sales.

Otherwise, while i'm not too knowledgabel about sales, i'm pretty sure that's kind of meh. Not good, but not W101 by any means

Unfortunately that isn't saying much >_>


Also. . .this is obligatory.

For the record, Xenoblade X sold >200k in it's first month, December in the US. I'm starting to question that number swamp, based on that being a holiday AND an entire month. Xeonblade wasn't selling gangbusters but an entire month vs "Not an entire week"


seems fishy to me

Strange how it isn't on the "Global top seller" list even though that goes as low as 61,865.


Still seems fishy to me.

"or bad RNG lol".

Oh it's definitely RNG

If Hector hits, it is pretty much an instant kill on any non-boss. (And even some bosses). He also never takes any damage from anything. Ever.

But he has like . . .4 speed, skill, and luck at level 17 as an axe user. So he isn't going to be hitting anything anytime soon.

Seems to be the only western sales figure I can find. Only Japan has official ones where it sold badly like most Star Fox games do.

Apparently the game didn't do well in the UK and France, but did pretty well in Germany.

You're comparing different weeks.

The week you're looking at is for the week before Star Fox.

There are clickbait articles on facebook now that "want to verify your age" by downloading an extension

Really? I'm not going to download anything. Rather just not read the clickbait article

Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't/isn't vgchartz notable for, at times, completely making up sales figures? IIRC they're not at all a reliable source for sales figures.

That Shinobi movie is gonna suck but I'm happy Sega can and will acknowledge it


I'm ecstatic

 

[Aetheri]

In other news...I only just now beat the Helmasaur King in ALttP...

been a while since I played it after entering the Palace of Darkness, but I decided to push forward today...I have to say though the improvements to this boss in ALBW are quite astounding...the original seem very uneventful in comparison, but the Gemasaur King was one of the most fun bosses I've ever played in a Zelda game...not that the Helmasaur King was a bad boss, mind you...

Decided to go all out for Civil War hype.


Also my new sig's gif is my favorite thing right now. Someone mixed BTS Doctor Strange footage with Civil War and it's hilarious.

At this point it's just a matter of counting down the days, haha.

Had the ending spoiled and don't even care. It somehow made me more hyped. And it's all the sweeter that the Captain America films might just be considered Marvel's strongest trilogy now. Definitely my favorite trilogy, at least.

Indeed, I wish Thor steps up its game in Ragnarok.
I heard a heavy spoiler before entering the theater but still I lost my **** after seeing it by myself.

When you watch it, remember, 2 post credit scenes. And tell me about what you thought of Tom Holland

Not really, I could really do without her having a game.

I would much rather see Ganondorf have his own game. Would be awesome if it was a prequel game of OoT starting from Ganondorf's birth all the way to his defeat at the hands of Link in OoT. Then the ending sequence shows him breaking out of the Sacred Realm and showing the events of the Great Flood. That's a great game right there.

I don't think Ganondorf getting his own game would even really be approved by Nintendo. They pretty much never let you play the villain, and Wario is anti hero eho still ends up doing good deeds every now and then.

 

[Frostwraith]

Hey all. Been playing Hyrule Warriors Legends quite a lot... I've completed Legend Mode entirely and unlocked all characters by now.

I'm loving the Wind Waker content, especially the music remixes.

And have I mentioned how this game's roster is simply amazing? Because it is.

Spoiler: Moar Spoilers

The candy in the car was such a giveaway. Like an adult would have that much in his car.

I do like how Satoru basically said that he kinda figured it out, but because of how the teacher was a father figure to him, he didn't want to believe it.

Spoiler: Here be spoilers

Yeah, the candy is the biggest hint, especially the teacher's reaction when Satoru finds it out. Sure, he makes an excuse, but it's one that has LAME written all over it. lol

Overall, I liked the premise of the anime. I always liked crime investigation series and the series puts an interesting twist in it that makes it stand out.

Will do. I'm a fan of the historical fiction genre, so it'll be right up my alley.

You won't regret it.

 

[TheAnvil]

Apparently Star Fox Zero has sold 157,000 in the US alone.

That good?

It's no Smash, but I don't think it's that bad. Especially considering the small install base. I saw Star Fox ranked 6th in the UK charts, and Wii U games rarely make the UK charts at all.

I'm thinking lifetime sales will end up around 1.5m.

 

[Deleted member]

Actually teased the idea of having the Temple of Time as a playable stage today. Dunno how it would work but I found the idea intriguing. Maybe something like going back and forth 7 years in time or something.

Someone on the internet who doesn't worship Hector. Today is a good day indeed.

Had the same problems in my previous playthrough of FE7. People seem to blame me for the problem "or bad RNG lol".

I had the same problem in my run. Hector couldn't hit to save his life. People love to bash Roy day and night but hell at least he managed to hit his opponent for me despite his flaws.

It's all a swerve. Linkle is secretly Aryll grown up posing as a female version of her brother. You heard it from me first.

Not really, I could really do without her having a game.

Hector has a 45% Skl growth, how did you get so screwed? And unless you really got RNG screwed, he should at least serve as a tank with his HP and Def bases and growths
Also, there's no point in hitting if you can't deal damage or survive enemy phase(you-know-who)

Roy is Voldemort? O.O

 

[ChikoLad]

As far as VG Chartz goes, they're usually only reliable for a game that's already been out for a while, as they compile official sales data at that point. For a game that just came out like Star Fox, they usually aren't reliable.

Also Ganondorf doesn't really need his own game. Not that it couldn't be cool, but there isn't as much of a tangible reason for why it should happen like with Zelda.

 

[Deleted member]

Shh... don't speak his name
They say that RNG screwance and late promotions happen if you say it

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Team Cap looks significantly weaker than Team Iron Man, except for Scarlet Witch who is one of the most powerful Marvel characters

 

[Schnee117]

CoD Infinite Warfare has space battles.
Star Wars Battlefront EA doesn't.
smh

jfc why is this site so iffy on certain images as avis. Gravatar's also being stingy

>There's a Game Design internship in Ireland that just went up
>But it's in Dublin
>Buses to Dublin are expensive
>I'm broke right now because parents borrowed most of my birthday money
>It's only an internship so pay wise I may not get enough to sustain me going up and down

God damn why do the best job opportunities come at the WORST times?

Avatars have a limit of 96 kB. If you upload an image, it shrinks it to 150 pixels width, and if the image is still bigger than 96 kB, it throws an error.

bull****, I tried an 18,89 kb thing, didn't work. I may need some help shrinking an image for good quality

Use an online PNG compressor. That should work.

I can shrink an image and minimise it's size while retaining quality if you want me to.

Photoshop has feature built for it, I use it all of the time for uploading stuff here.

Try this, should work fine.

EDIT: Avatar AND Image Uploader seems busted right now. Tried setting it as my own avatar and this happened. Image Uploader isn't accepting anything right now either.

I'd say wait a while longer before changing yours.

What are those team Iron man people thinking anyway?
That governments can be trusted with control of superheroes?
No sir, I say.

What's that? Mighty No. 9 might finally be released?
I'll believe it when I see it.

This better be half decent with all the time it has taken. . .
