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

[Fenriraga]

I won't really talk about it too much beyond this but since we were on the subject anyway I might as well share these images.

It isn't even subtle. It seriously looks like an average fan hack.

Not to mention all of this on top of every powerup and Wisp getting severe nerfs, meaning youre even more likely to be screwed over by something, Eggman not staying around nearly as long (He was a big part of building Red Rings and Rings up), characters getting an entirely seperate bonus Stat that you can only build from using the stupid roulette wheel and hoping you get your character (Character stats were nerfed big time too), blatant grammar errors, making some companions impossible to level up (they also got nerfed)....

Yyyeah.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Least affected? Ma'am. I was deeply disturbed, please believe me. I said I grieved then, and I meant it.
I mean Jihad in the general sense, the corrupted sense, not the sense it was originally meant in. The comparison I was making would be to the supposed fervor of persecution I'd face if I said anything untactful in chat.
Noting the edit here in case you didn't see it: this is a character weakness (as in my weakness. I should't fear what others would think / say). Tact would be a better reason not to post.
I will keep that in mind.
Yes.

By that I meant you were the quickest to change the subject, but it's not a bad thing. Sorry if it came out wrong -.- I hate my wording.
Thanks for pointing your edit out

It's fine--to hate our wording, that is--it's partly my fault anyways for not reading / comprehending properly. You said it was possible, not that it was.

Now, off to write fanfiction! And by write I mean get distracted and come back to browsing while trying to think of reasonable plot development~

Picked up some goodies at Gamestop today, but noticed something curious... was hoping somebody could shed some light on this, because Google ain't helping.

I bought a Tomy Eevee plush, and inside the tag is an anonymous code. There's no description or any hint as to what to use it with, but it's in a large font so clearly they wanted me to notice. The same code was in every Eevee plush there, so I don't see the harm in sharing it...

'G1515WHE00'

Any idea what this might be? I thought it might unlock something in the e-shop or a Mystery Gift, but it isn't valid for either of those.

@Red Hunter X ^here;s another proof they haven;t forgotten

The reference is so obvious i will not explain it

Basically, it';s just another proof that they do care about the Paper Mario series, they did references of these kind before, but like the others, always out of the blue, just to remind us about it

And again, emphasis on TTYD.

Basically, my point is if you are worried of the series, don't be, they know what;s up

Save your assurance for when we actually see more proper TTYD, SPM and PM references in Paper Jam (Which we won't.)

A twitter post from an American branch of the company means **** all.

dude, you complained that the filesize of paper jam is less than SS while you didn;t know spm one was even lower.......and TTYD is still 630mb which isn;t very far off SS.......

And you completely missed my point when I talked about why I am still hyped about paper jam and so of that post.

They do good stuff for the series, they don;t NEED to have every references ever, just do things that put the series in a BETTER direction.

honestly, I still am baffled by that filesize argument.....

Unless you see a problem with being stereotypical?

I'd like to think we've gotten better at jamming lots of content into less code. Hooray programmers!

nah, he did, not in THE first post, but he did.

i bring it up because I am telling to doubt the validity of his claim when he quoted me as let;s be honest, it sounds he has too high expectation (I did read his post, and I am not retelling the rant i did because i jsut summed it up)

SS actually wasn;t very optimised mainly the sound area. I ripped the entire game and it had a lot of sfx that were uneccessarly long and some were.......very weird to be there. Also, I would say i did saw a lot of redundancy in the graphics.

These kind of stuff would make the filesize bigger.....without actually changing the front end of the game, onyl behidn the scene which shoudn;t make a difference as you play.

Which is why filesize isn;t reliable to judge a game.......

You keep telling yourself that, because people like you are why the series is in the rut it is.

I'm clearly in a bad mood right now so I'm just going to step out.

Not really, I mean you don;t see these refferences THIS much often, but they do happen occasionally and I guess I am happy when they occur

No but honestly, it;s very clear that it;s TTYD refference, unless you didn;t played TTYD, i don;t see how you could say it is refferentiating something else.....

People still think it's a fullblown crossover game rather than "M&L ft. Paper Mario".

There's also been accusations of the game being uninspired even as an M&L game.
(Seemingly no new characters, just ones pulled from Mario games, the Koopalings being a focal point again, Peach getting kidnapped, etc etc)

 

[aldelaro5]

Wait... Do people think Paper Jam looks bad?

Well, the compalins I hear usually are (and this is very irnoic) the doubts I had before, except take these doubts and make it more present.

having a lot of SS heritage is the very first complain I see which tbh wasn;t my first problem as.....the stuff in SS weren;t wrong by themselves, it;s how they were used that was very messed up (well I ddi a huge essay on that).

Truthfully, most of the SS stuff are neatly used, in fact, they do feel much better impleemented in paper jam because paper jam is more what I can safely say to be an rpg (I had a hard time to call SS an rpg).

but it;s not all, the other stuff i heard which i DO agree on is the lack of diversity in npcs. most of them are paper toads, i do agree that it doesn;t help, but after watching several trailers, I realised that it might not even matter this much because the game do so far a really good job to be diverse in I would say mechanic, but also the character Paper Mario. Especially the JP trailer, that one looked awesome

Then you have the other stuff like the absense of Paper mario specific stuff, which i did doubt before when I heard abotu the game, but I changed my mind as I realised the game doesn;t really need them. They already do a lot i woudl expect from the paper amrio series, except this is an m&l game.

This is why i am hyped for it despite being from a series I, by experience, don;t like that much (I liked DT a bit though).

Though, if you want some positive notes, I see a lot on tumblr that are mostly positive

But yeah, I wouldn;t expect the game to be a tribute and I don;t think it;s a good idea to buy it expecting that, i don;t think that was the goal of the game in the first place

[ChikoLad]

Wait... Do people think Paper Jam looks bad?

I haven't played any M&L games, and my Paper Mario experience is just Super Paper Mario (which doesn't count to a lot of people) and the first hour or two of the original (I was liking it fine but I was playing it on an emulator when I was in school and just never got back to it).

I fully intend to get more into both series' some day, but as an outsider...Paper Jam looks like the least appealing game in either series. It looks average. A filler game that was just pushed out the door as quick as possible, like Ultra Smash.

I'm not gonna rant and rave about it, because well, that's the thing...it just doesn't instill any strong emotions in me either way. I will say that the concept seems underutilised, though. Like, I don't see the point in putting Paper characters into the M&L games if they honestly don't even do much. Comes across as a cheap sales gimmick more than a meaningful utilisation of the concept.

 

[LIQUID12A]

A random TTYD mention in a tweet really means nothing.

NoA could reference Metroid for once in a tweet and it would mean jack unless it came with an actual promotion and wasn't a shoehorned in reference for the sake of referencing. It really makes the tweet an excuse to post for Black Friday considering that most would bat an eye were it presented without the reference.

It's the NoA twitter.

It really descended into ****post territory when YKW began being promoted and it's sickening.

I find it hard for mobile games to be fun with all the microtransaction trash they have.

But mobile gaming is a success. That much I can agree with, but I don't get why a mobile game can't be left alone with no microtransactions.

Are they a necessity for a mobile game to become a success with all the clones they have, or?

I thought the same about Dream Team honestly and that turned out to be amazing.

This studio cannot make a bad game.

I didn't say it looks bad though. It just looks meh.

Again, it looks like Ultra Smash - that game isn't bad either, just meh (and not worth the asking price).

Actually they generally are necessary. Mainly because people often don't see value in actively purchasing a mobile game. They prefer to pick it up for free, and just by the odd booster pack or something if they like it. Also ads generate revenue.

There are exceptions though. The mobile remakes of Classic Sonic games are actually highly successful despite costing money upfront (and they have no microtransactions).

I honestly recommend you get spm if it ever comes out on VC, this is sadly a very underrated game

And the least I can say is if you had played sticker star........you might reconsider because SS did a lot weirder stuff than paper jam could do (by this I mean a lot of the game was rushed).

At least paper jam feels that there was effort involved with a goal to do it.......and it is an rpg lol

It was obvious what it was since its reveal. What?

Yeah, like I said, they use the SS assets in imo a better way than they were used, much better.

also, i just noticed something: for whatever reasons, I feel this thread is where I saw so far the most pessimism currently while before, i clearly remember it was optimism according to that game. me, it was the opposite, I went from pessimism to optimism.

That irony

 

[Swamp Sensei]

For some reason this thread is overly pessimistic about most things and tries to disguise it as realism.

So, my brother kind of forced me into buying Tekken for Wii U
I don't know which one is it but I think there is only one on the Wii U anyways
I hope I don't regret it
And I also bought the BW Pokemon Adventures manga
I don't know if the localization in here changed something but how many volumes are there of it?(not counting the BW2 manga)

 

[Fenriraga]

It was not obvious since it's reveal, as the reveal only showed a smidgen of 1 world. Excuse me for expecting a crossover to be a crossover.

Nothing is new. Making a Goomba paper isn't new, it's just slightly altering an established trait. This game is NSMB: the RPG. AGAIN.
Same level progression (grass to desert to ice to jungle etc.), same generic enemies, baffling character choices (Case and point, Nabbit over Popple in a MARIO RPG CROSSOVER), same generic Bowser kidnaps peach plot... If I wanted to play NSMB, I'd go ****ing play New Super Mario Bros. If you're going to crossover these two series and do NOTHING with them, why even bother? The RPGs were a nice break from the simple Mario elements, and instead get treated to unique settings and characters that only an RPG could get away with exploring.

I'm sorry, but this game makes me livid.

.....

ok what i am about to say isn;t a respond to you in particular, but most people who would react like this: reminder that I just basically posted the tweet saying I liek the reference.......I wrote a lot of lines, but you do get that my entire point was saying I like the reference?

Because idk why I get these responds all of a sudden, guys, I just enjoy them doing this.......it;s really not much to make a fuss about. The only reason i even posted saying I liked the reference is because they happen to like......months in between.

Like I never expected this would actually turn into a debate.......I mean, it should even be expected that i make mention of that tweet ANYWAY......
