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

[Frostwraith]

You need to read the GDC 2008 slides.

Those slides are something every Smash fan should read.

I just want a Xenoblade X stage for the music.

But seeing as the remaining stages will likely be tied to the rest of the characters...

#Elma4Smash #Cross4Smash #PleaseSakurai

This x9000.

I want some Xenoblade X music in Smash and it would suck to have to wait for a next game when DLC is a thiing.

Pipedream boyz

I'd ****ing love that, though realistically we are probably getting a new Xenoblade character next game considering that Monolith is already working on the third one.

I can see Xenoblade becoming a fully fledged JRPG franchise. It would be great if it happened.

With two games, the series already has what makes a Xenoblade game what it is. The combat system and the focus on exploration seem to be the essence of the series. Of course, some story themes ought to be similar as well, even when the scenarios are completely different.

Most importantly: it won't be Xenoblade if Nopon aren't in the game.

 

[Shroob]

I dunno about anyone else, but I'm expecting some sort of announcement of when the broadcast will be in the middle of the week.

I'm doubtful we'll get a release date this week. Aren't Directs usually revealed a few hours beforehand?

Also

PushDustIn , thanks for mentioning my theory on your podcast.

But the special broadcast was revealed November 12th, unless you mean the times? If so, I'm not too sure if the previous Smash bros. presentations had their times revealed a few hours before....

I THINK the April presentation got hinted at on a weekend? It was an Isabelle PotD if that helps.

Pirate Ship stage slot. I guess it's not 100% fully mine, but I brought it up sometime last week.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

BTW, what made you interested in the first Revelations Swamp Sensei ? Did you find it cheap somewhere?

Kind of.

I wanted to try one of the newer Resident Evil games and it was on Wii U so....

Oh @Spazzy_D brought that up, I just explained it .

That was originally proposed by ShinyQuaqsire, I believe. Maybe RandomTalkingBush....either one of those guys. I also found out I say "uh" a lot. I need to...uh...work on that.

[Radical Bones]

After playing Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash for a few hours, I'm even more disappointed that they didn't flesh it out. Gameplay wise it's the best Mario Tennis. But I've played for about 3 hours and I'm so bored. Knockout challenge is ridiculously easy. I miss the tournaments of the Gamecube that were incredibly hard towards the end. I shouldn’t be able to beat Giant Star Bowser with non-star Waluigi.

WASTED POTENTIAL IS SO ANNOYING.

 

[Shroob]

So, anyone old enough to remember the original Toonami short? Anyone watching the current one?

It's Waluigi. He is so awesome that star or no star, he's going to destroy the competition. Plus, he was literally made for the series. He's like the star of it. XD

Kind of.

I see...
Well I wholehearted recommend Revelations 1 & 2 before Resident Evil 5 or Resident Evil 6. Or any spin-off games (Operation Raccoon ****ty)

The story of both games is...okay, the story of Revelations 1 is a bit weird (but exciting!), but Revelations 2 is a step above most of the other games IMO. Gameplay wise they are solid action third-person shooters that sometimes think they are survival horror.

But that's just the campaign. The reason most people enjoy Revelations 1 & 2 is the Raid Mode, which basically says "**** it, we're a mission-based zombie shooter now". Very fun and addictive mode that in some places is actually way scarier than the main campaign.

Not sure about Revelations 1, but if you get Revelations 2, be sure to get the retail version, not digital. The way they released the episodes and bonus content is weird, but the retail version is on the cheap and has it all anyways.

tl;dr is good, play it

 

[Shroob]

Don't play RE5 or 6. Play 4 instead.

 

[Radical Bones]

I don't want to start anything here, because I'm so sick of this discussion, but it's so weird that the Shovel Knight amiibo is due out this year and still has no release date. Read into it all you will, I just think it's odd.

 

[Kenith]

This.
I especially recommend skipping over Resident Evil 5...it's basically Resident Evil 4 but with a worse...um, everything.
I mean, at least Resident Evil 6 tries to be different...it's so polarizing in its design choices it is worth at least trying.
At least 5 has Wesker though.

No comment on the fact it's due "for the Holidays" along with Smash presentation due in December along with a Japanese released with no known release date.

Seriously though, it seems everything Yacht Club Games does is somehow evidence for SK in Smash. Confirmation bias at work, I guess.

Remember that AMA they did before the Nintendo Direct? Totally meant Shovel Knight would be revealed. Despite, you know, the fact that it had been arranged by the subreddit's moderator days before the direct was even announced. But it can't have been a coincidence because Shovel Knight for Smash!!!! Or how about Yacht Club pushing back their retail update due to "waiting on a confirmation"? Totally meant they were waiting for Shovel Knight to be announced as a ballot pick for Smash. Later, of course, they released the retail update and what do you know - it had nothing to do with Smash.

Haha, I'm not saying SK is in Smash either.

It's just funny how we have one character who is so hotly debated, and so many little circumstances keep appearing to make people go crazy.

Well, not so much funny as it is annoying.

Man there's a lot going on this December.

The Smash Direct
New Pokemon Announcement, heavily hinted to be Z after the first year with no main series Pokemon game
Steam Sales
And I got this other project I'm working on...

What happened to relaxing for the season?

 

[MasterofMonster]

I would help T^T I wish I could

Naw, thank you. *hugsies* But I am unfortunately cursed to have to fix it myself. But no worries. One day! <3

(Operation Raccoon ****ty

I was skimming through posts and when I saw this I was like:
"what did I do?"



Anyway, trying to get legendaries in Yo-kai watch. I'm begining to realize the reason I haven't seen many Yo-kai is because a lot of them are just in random streets rather than the entire city like I originally thought it was going to work.

Also, I don't get the mentality of giving hard to find Yo-kai low catch rates. ;_;

I already have 4/5 of the legendaries already, 3 of them I got yesterday. Also managed to defeat a blue oni too.

I can potentially catch 2 right now with 3 Yo-kai.

I encountered a blue oni but I lost to it.

I don't really think it's quite fair to lump 5 with 6. At least 5 is a fun game, it's kind of a poor man's 4, but it's still a worthy addition to the series.

But jesus christ is RE6 one of the worst games of all time. I only paid £5.99 for it and it was still a huge waste of money.

Don't worry, the Shovel Knight Amiibo releases on December 4th. So there's no conspiracy to be found.

Leaks are saying the broadcast will be on the 3rd, SK amiibo releases one day after the presentation
SK will be revealed and will be made avaible alongside his amiibo!

I really don't think Resident Evil 6 was that bad. It was just disappointing. And mediocre.

A part of me thinks that it will be delayed, maybe to next year, to coincide with an announcement for the Japanese release of Shovel Knight. You know, give the Japanese a little more incentive to purchase the game.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I enjoyed Resident Evil 5 personally.

Not scary, but I didn't find most of them scary so... I just cared if it was fun.

And I had fun.

So when is Fan supposed to be revealed for SF5?

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Speaking on recent releases, how is Star Wars Battlefield? Battlefront? Come on now, we both know that title is a marketing ploy.

I keep hearing two far differing views on it. Either it's awesome or betrayal. Someone help me out here?
