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

[Bedoop]

Donkey Kong talk?
In a Social Thread?
YOU KNOW WHAT THIS CALLS FOR

TIME FOR A MUSICAL NUMBER

 

[ChikoLad]

Digitized sprites look really creepy when you blow them up. The pixels are swarming...

I can understand that making a pixel artist pretty cranky.

Remember last year when Cranky Kong took over the Nintendo account and tried to make memes?

Can that happen again?

The VGA is always a trainwreck, not a question of if, only "How many did it wound this time". :V

Calling it now, GOTY is gonna be either MGS5, Arkham Knight, Black Cops 3, Buttcreed Syndicate, Fallout 4 or Star Wars: The incomplete Battlefront 3 Saga.

Only one of which I feel may actually somewhat deserve it. Use your imagination on which one.

And all the while, Reggie will be backstage shifting his tie, trying to remind himself why they came here again.

Witcher 3 is the only thing deserving of GOTY this year.
If only Xenoblade X released earlier to be considered

 

[Opossum]

Buttcreed Syndicate.

I mean yeah, the game definitely doesn't deserve GOTY, but this is just...childish, honestly.

Speaking of Nintedno:

Why are they trying to appeal to people like this?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Thanks for reminding me the VGA "winners" are always rigged to overrated/overhyped games that don't deserve it.

Yeah, I definitely ain't watching, not even for Nintendo.

Facebook memory today was the final issue of Nintendo Power and how they styled it after the original first one :[ pic.twitter.com/SQzSC7ZePH

Why you make me feel sad? miss Nintendo power so much! It was such a great magazine!

 

[SuperMii3D]

Speaking of amiibo restocks, I nabbed a Shulk and Little Mac. Had to leave Greninja, Captain Falcon, Ike and Lucario behind. I may never see them again .-.

 

[Frostwraith]

The only game of this year I'm really interested in is Xenoblade Chronicles X.

 

[Shroob]

That feeling when someone drops a bunch of KAWAIIUGUU games on you on Steam and you dunno if you should laugh or be ashamed.

i'm sure they will restock them. They've gotten better with restocks. So you could probably still find those 3. If not, Amazon sells them cheap usually.

 

[Guybrush20X6]

Watch them make up categories so that "big" games get awards. It's why I never bought a Guinness Book of game records beyond the second one. You could tell they were stretching to give some kind of record to those that paid.

 

[Strofirko]

Cmon guys,we remember when VGA was good,back into the days Madden got the GOTY over Wind Waker and Vice City

 

[ChikoLad]

My game of the year that will never get nominated.

One of my friends is wanting me to try this game. How is it? I might pick it up for Wii U when it becomes on sale.

I'll add Super Mystery Dungeon to this Or Explorers of Sky. The stories are truly amazingly written in each.

Calling it now: "Greatest Innovation of First-Person Camera"
Which will go to CoD.

Made a post earlier today about it here, but TL;DR is the Wii game is fantastic but since it's essentially a collector's item packed in with first print copies of the mediocre at best Wii U version, it will be lucky to even achieve "cult classic" status.

I made a topic about it here:

I dont really mind though. I second Shulk and Little Mac, so I picked them up. I only want Falcon to complete the Mario Kart 8 costume collection.

Ah I see, good luck, I hope you can find Falcon!

 

[A Distant Demon]

I have never bothered watching a VGA. . . .but I cant think of a reason why I would watch it. Unless there is a humongous amount of showmanship it's probably best to just see the results and reveals later.

 

[Strofirko]

I just want Rocket League wins sports category,to rub that crap on AAA companies 2 years in a row.

 

[Opossum]

Buncha party poopers up in here.


Maybe it's just because I like awards shows in general, but man, the anti-hype is real in this thread.

To be fair, many of us go under the logic of only caring when our favorite games are promoted.
Otherwise they're scum.

That's the thing.

The awards show itself was boring as **** in 2013, which was when I watched it.

 

[Fenriraga]

I mean yeah, the game definitely doesn't deserve GOTY, but this is just...childish, honestly.

I really didn't mean anything by that. :V I actually have Syndicate and I think it's okay. It's just, you know... the same game again. It's hard to care when 4 was so good and then it's back to 2 for the half dozenth time.

I don't even know why I phrased it like that... I'm tired man.

I dont really mind though. I second Shulk and Little Mac, so I picked them up. I only want Falcon to complete the Mario Kart 8 costume collection.

That's a shame, Falcon's Costume is the best considering the F Zero stages and kart. You'll come across him soon enough I'm sure.

 

[Z25]

So I've been on twitter whie now and there is one thing that really annoy me. It's when random underknown youtubers follow me and hen plead for me to view them if I follow back. Which tbh I don't care for them to much, I follow to follow, if I like your content, I'll subscribe but you shouldn't beg for it.

Anyway just wanted to say this, anyone else think the same?

 

[LIQUID12A]

I must be the only one who watches VGAs to see what kind of stupid things are done.

Like, I could give less of a damn about the actual awards, I wanna see the dumb stuff, like x winning over y or something.

 

[Con0rrrr]

Looking for smaller gift ideas for myself to tell family members.

I'm a huge fan of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Explorers games. But Gates to Infinity was the worst pile of trash on the planet.

Those who have Super Mystery Dungeon, is it worth picking up?

 

[PushDustIn]

PushDustIn Something I've been wanting to know about a certain Smash history for a while: Once people were ripping the OST of Brawl, there were these things called "SSBB The Lost Tracks". Like they sound like, it's supposedly just scrapped yet finished songs (can be found on YouTube). While it got a lot of attention when they came out, most big name Smash sites now ignore its existence or just called them unplayable data files, thus makes me question the legitimacy of them. What can you say about it? Here are the songs they contain:

• Boss Battle (Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time)
  
• Beware the Forest's Mushrooms (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)
• Ballad of the Wind Fish (The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening)
• Yoshi's Cookie Type A
• The Loner, Falco Lombardi (Star Fox Command)
• Move Out! (Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance)
• The Chosen Ones (Fire Emblem: Shadow Dragons and the Blade of Light)
• Hippie Battle Theme (Mother)
• Eight Melodies (Mother)
• Smiles and Tears (EarthBound)
• Radio Exercises (Animal Crossing: Wild World)
• NES Sports Medley
• Stunt Race FX
• Metal Gear Solid Series Main Theme
• Metal Gear Solid Series Main Theme Remix
• You Can Do Anything (Sonic the Hedgehog CD (JP))

Most of these are assumed, and have little proof. What someone did was look at the series numbers for the music tracks along with the number gaps (Explained in Ryu/Roy's File Post). Then they decided to fill it in with tracks that "made sense". I know that Beware the Forest's Mushroom isn't actually likely to be based on the order numbering if you account for years or something.

He's on Gamestop's website if you have the time and money to get him! The other restocked amiibos are on too.

So, this is what Nintendo is apparently going to announce at The Game Awards 2015...

Ah.

That's what I was kinda expecting. Still good choices of music.

They think he's just an old man behind on times and doesn't know what's he's talking about.

 

[Bebe Mignon]

5 more days until I can finally play as my bae.

Who else is looking forward to playing XCX?

 

[Tree Gelbman]

Why do people hate cranky so much

I don't think people hate him.

They just are making fun of the fact his playability was supposedly big enough to reveal at an awards show.
