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

[Substitution]

When you make a game that is full of public domain characters from Western stories and have an American president as your leader, one can expect it to do better in the U.S. than Japan.

Still confused as to why they made the Scarecrow look like Pumpkin Head (another character from Oz books).

Not to mention said American president fighting aliens in the greatest if not cheesiest way possible.
This game was tailored to the hearts of Americans is all I'm saying.

 

[Red & Green]

No.
Fates didn't bomb at all.
Quite the opposite.
TMS #FE, however, is pretty doomed.

Swamp was tal king about how Tokyo Mirage will flop regardless

Well ****.
Should've looked back, more.

Sorry, sorry.

And now it has more playable characters than Zelda and Metroid in Smash, and just as many as Pokemon.

There's plenty to be used from Zelda. I'm pretty baffled that we haven't been getting newcomers for it.

As for Metroid, we all know how Sakurai feels about Ridley. The best I can expect is for Federation Force to be shoved down our throats.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Did they really say that or is it another case of misinterpretation?

It seems rather amusing how a game is doing poorly for censoring inappropriate materials, and yet it's a game that I don't even care about anyway.

Nah I was just legit curious since I see the claim thrown around a lot.

Oh and in other news (that I am late on), Pokken outsold Street Fighter V.

The real answer is that Naughty Dog is the worst because **** the fact they think cartoony stuff doesn't sell

Can't really blame them when Uncharted and TLoU are now providing sales exceeding nearly all of their past efforts.

Most Zelda characters are either one-shot villains (Majora, Ghirahim, Zant, etc), one-shot sidekicks (Midna, Fi, etc), side characters (Darunia, Ruto, etc), or extremely unpopular in some regions (Tingle for America and Groose for Japan).

Maybe it's because the Triforce Wielders were the only import characters to be used. Sure there's Impa, but her inconsistent appearances is the thing that keeps her down. Or people would pin her as Sheik clone if her SS design is used.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Well ****.

Well now we know your true thoughts on Corrin.

Don't seem to like him much.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

The censorship has nothing to do with TMS bombing. That has to do with what was shown when IS and Atlus were confirmed to work together and what we got

 

[Red & Green]

Well now we know your true thoughts on Corrin.

I mean, I don't care about the character himself, I care that they just nonchalantly put him in Smash for the reason of promotion. You've probably heard that a million times, though. (and yet i decided to buy his DLC today i think my body disagrees with my thoughts...)

Well.
This is certainly unexpected.
I'm not sure if I should feel bad for Street Fighter or happy for Pokken.

Whatever the reason, I don't really care about that game's fate.

I like Street Fighter (I also like Pokken), but y'know... that's kinda what you get Capcom.

Next time finish your game before you release it ;P

Hopefully this also means a sequel to Pokken can get greenlit faster if sales are this... decent.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Whatever the reason, I don't really care about that game's fate.

That's the thing though. Nobody does

Groose for Japan

Japan hates Groose?

They have literally the worst taste possible.

See Cashcom, this is why you shouldn't rush the release of any game. Glad that you are going to put more time and effort into development from now on.

PS: F.A.N.G. is the best character Street Fighter V and no one can say otherwise.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Goddamit. I should have named my character Exdeath for how many pokemon get sent to the Void

 

[Red & Green]

That's the thing though. Nobody does

Yeah this.

I don't even have the slightest clue about Shigami Megami Tensei or what it's about...
Then again, Wikipedia's my best friend.

But the game's announcement overall felt extremely out of left field to me.

Japan hates Groose?

They have literally the worst taste possible.

WHO THE **** DO THEY THINK THEY ARE?!

YOU RESPECT MR. GOOSE, THANK YOU VERY MUCH

THAT IS AN INSULT TO ALL GROOSE AND GROOSEKIND

**** YOU JAPAN AND YOUR ****ING TINGLE

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Japan hates Groose?

They have literally the worst taste possible.

Not that they hate him, but he get pretty indifferent reactions over there. Still **** taste though.

While every Western Zelda fan loves him and wants him loose in Hyrule Warriors. That's why Tingle got in before him because they would rather have the green goofball instead.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Honestly, Pokken was just as rushed as SFV.

 

[Deleted member]

Oh man, it would really suck if that 7% crit hit after all of this
*crits*
ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME

Japan hates Groose?

They have literally the worst taste possible.

Groose is as bad as Tingle though

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Honestly, Pokken was just as rushed as SFV.

Explain

 

[Aetheri]

Not that I dislike Groose, but he's no Midna....

Prefer him over Tingle tho...

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Groose is as bad as Tingle though

You are the scum of the earth.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Groose is as bad as Tingle though

You probably should not have said that.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

You are the scum of the earth.

Groose has **** hair. He should ask Josuke for advice

 

[N3ON]

Honestly, Pokken was just as rushed as SFV.

Even more impressive that it had a decent single-player (for a fighting game), an entirely new cast of characters of the same initial number, and an online that wasn't broken upon launch then.

 

[Chrono.]

Groose was okay, not really a favorite for me though.

 

[AwesomeAussie27]

Before I get to breaking a piñata, I'll say this.

Skull Kid is better than both Groose and Tingle (though he's bae) combined. There's no other Zelda character that compares to this tortured soul with little friends and his control over Majora's Mask.

Still not likely for Smash though.

 

[ChikoLad]

Well it only mentions retail sales on PS4.

SFV probably still outsells it when you factor in digital and PC.

And to be honest, I know a lot of people will cry foul on SFV for lacking content and what not and say this was deserved, but is Pokkén really any better? I've only played it once so far since I bought it and haven't felt motivated to go back to it since the game has nothing to offer really. I mean the gameplay is solid but there's nothing to do since the content is so lacking. Like in a lot of recent Wii U games. And SFV is a similar situation, but at least that's GETTING updates.

 

[Red & Green]

Explain

Well, the main story is really light, for starters.

You do the same thing over and over again.

And then while the battlefields are all very diverse-looking, they aren't really entertaining gameplay-wise.

And overall the game was really only entertaining for an hour. To me, at least.

Groose has **** hair. He should ask Josuke for advice

YOU TAKE THAT **** BACK, HIS HAIR'S FREAKING AMAZING

 

[Cutie Gwen]

YOU TAKE THAT **** BACK, HIS HAIR'S FREAKING AMAZING

So you're saying Josuke's hair is ****? Get Dora'd scrub

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Explain

• Same low amount of characters with no DLC at this point (SFV had a character out by this point.)
• Terrible Plot
• Excruciatingly lazy and awful single player. I beat the Ferrum league completely and it stopped being fun pretty quickly.
• Some of the worst voice acting I have ever heard
• Their rage quitting punishment might as well not exist.
• What the **** do I do with all this money? It's practically worthless. They're no point to it.

Still I love both Street Fighter V and Pokken Tournament because they the big thing right. They're still very fun to play, especially with other people. They have phenomenal gameplay.

I play both whenever I can, because they're fun. Very fun. Extremely fun.

Just not by yourself.

a decent single-player (for a fighting game),

No.

It is one of the worst.

Arcade mode would have been ten times better. As someone who plays a lot of fighting games, Pokken's single player was a grueling affair.

 

[Yomi's Biggest Fan]

Meanwhile I'm playing Groose's theme as the chaos unfold. Dance before the almighty Groose as he laughs back at you.

Let the Groose loose!

Before I get to breaking a piñata, I'll say this.

Skull Kid is better than both Groose and Tingle (though he's bae) combined. There's no other Zelda character that compares to this tortured soul with little friends and his control over Majora's Mask.

Still not likely for Smash though.

Sorry Majora's Mask fangirl, but Groose is superior in every way. This is coming from another Skull Kid fan.

Correction...Majora's Mask has control over Skull Kid....

I took a look at the Super Smash Boos animations earlier, and pretty much ran into this image...

Kirby does make a good Boo imitation. It's a shame that the actual Boo species is often more menacing with their fangs and sinister-looking eyes.

God on Pokken. I'll be getting my hands on the full game in a couple of days since I enjoyed the demo.
