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

[Chrono.]

I thought GameXplain were just discussing Nintendaan's review?

(Idk since I didn't watch, I just clicked the link in the description)

 

[finalark]

I want to be hyped for Xenoblade X, but I got hit hard by hype backlash with the first game.

It's not bad, it's actually pretty damn good. The story is great and there's a lot to do and a ton of depth to the game. The vision mechanic was very original and well implemented.

But as an MMO player, I've been doing the hot-bar-quest-giver-twenty-bear-asses shuffle since I was eleven years old. Taking that game play the world of single player didn't really do anything for me.

Pretty sure, that this is also their review as well.

They're counting his as theirs.

X is multiplayer co-op if that helps.

 

[finalark]

X is multiplayer co-op if that helps.

Maybe. TBH I found Xenoblade to be kinda boring. Here's hoping that multiplayer can help with that.

 

[PushDustIn]

I just watched both.

Holy crap, this review **** on GX's...

This one was stream lined and got to the point.

This review made me more hyped.


I mean, people said Dream Team was bad. I thought it was amazing.

To be fair, GameXplain is a Review Discussion and not an actual review. That being said, Tealgamemaster's review is incredibly solid.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Well don't force yourself. It just may not be your thing.

I mean everyone can find well crafted things boring. I mean, I can't stand playing Animal Crossing because it bores me to tears even if I think the world, characters and idea is charming and lovable and the games are expertly crafted.

I guess I just appreciate that you complimented the game calling it good, said that there is a lot of things to like and that it just wasn't for you instead of saying it was objectively bad because it wasn't for you.

I like that quality. You're a cool dude.

 

[OurBraveHero]

The text rumor is BS because the leaker starts talking about Sakurai's personal life, that he found a replacement and is working on other stuff. No rando at Nintendo is going to know that unless Sakurai publicly announces it to employees for some reason; at which case it'd be all over the internet from multiple people already.

 

[ChikoLad]

GameXplain's video is just discussing the game from Nintendaan's POV.

The game isn't out in the US until later on. GameXplain still haven't played it. It's not their review. Don't pan them for it.

 

[Zane13pyro]

Excuse me, but I was into to Segata Sanshiro commercials before that video went up.

Fan fact: Junior year of high school I took a film and editing class. Our first assignment was to show the class our favorite video ever. I chose this:

The same applies to me, but I was already a fan of the actor before knowing Segata Sanshiro due to his second most wellknown role, Takeshi Hongo, the original Kamen Rider

Paper Jam seems to be doing alright in reviews so far.

they look so alike XD Roy is like yea I know Marth me and him go way back and Marth would be like who the heck are you XD

 

[New_Dumal]

About the text leak : It's possible.
I'm believing in completely anything Smash related... We got Clouded already,Shrek would be more standart.

Tabuu would be incredible and the first represntation about Smash itself.
I'm totally in this ideia. He would be also a eternal reminder of my fav Smash game, Brawl.
At this point, I just want Frigate Orpheon.Any playable character is good news, cause i'm into the mindset that even Kratos have a chance.

 

[Kenith]

I'm not sure what you're saying.
Are you saying Shrek is possible? Because he definitely isn't.

 

[New_Dumal]

Sakurai opened my eyes and showed that nothing is impossible. I'm REALLY expecting something like... Mickey.
It's incredible,he is a magician.

The european eShop's last CYBER OFFERS are pretty neat too :

I also like how, after,and, my boy looks like he's the representative of the "for the players, the real ones" games.

(And a thought to the American players who still haven't Xenoblade nor Metroid: Zero Mission on their eShop...)

Why do the Samus panels on the second row seem so familiar again...?

Well, I'm pretty sure Sakurai isn't pulling Shrek or Mickey out of his magic hat.

Well Mickey is a million times more likely than Shrek. Evidence: We exist in a universe where Kingdom Hearts is a thing. Of course the chances are stupid low in the first place so that's not saying much.

 

[Kenith]

I can definitely agree to that.
Mickey does have Disney Infinity, Epic Mickey, Kingdom Hearts, and Castle of Illusion under his belt.
And it's not Mickey, but also DuckTales.

So if there was a non-game character with a lot of influence in games added, he'd be the best choice.
But it's still not happening.

Paper Jam seems to be getting positive reviews. I like it.

 

[Kenith]

Speaking of Disney, I'd really like a Disney fighting game at point.
While the most obvious gameplay style choice is a brawler like Smash Bros...

I kinda want it to be a normal fighter with original, more serious character designs, like Injustice (but not nearly AS serious).

I feel like Marvel vs Capcom 2's style could fit Disney more than anything. Disney can even use Darth Vader and Marvel characters if they want lol

that's really true I didn't think of that XD

Eh, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 has a comic book style. It fits Marvel a lot more than it does Disney or Pixar...

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Dammit, I'm thinking of supers for Disney characters. Stitch uses all 4 of his blasters and screams 'meega nala queesta' or whatever he said to that counselor woman in the first movie, Baymax uses his full armour as a super mode, Donald Duck goes beserk, Scrooge gets attacked by the Beagle Boys who only hurt Scrooge's enemy...This is actually a neat idea!
Edit: My point was MvC2 looks cartoony, that fits Disney quite well imo

Isnt it funny how both Paper Mario and Yoshi returned to form through spinoffs? Yoshi especially, after the barrage of garbage for YEARS the one game to be on the level of the original is a yarn game. Hilarious.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Eh, Marvel vs. Capcom 2 has a comic book style. It fits Marvel a lot more than it does Disney or Pixar...

After reading most of the Darth Vader solo series, I'd say Star Wars at the very least could fit its art style.

 

[Chrono.]

Skullgirls' style would fit Disney the most

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Goddammit, a Disney fighter works too well! I'm considering sending a letter to Disney now lol

 

[Knuckles the Knuckles]

I dont think Disney would make for good "serious" fighting game. It would probably have to be toned down even more than Smash Bros. Sure they got Marvel, but I dont see them allowing Mickey Mouse get stomped on by Hulk, you know?

 

[Kenith]

See? Now you know why I want it lol
My dark horse vote is Mulan.

It's really unlikely sure, but imagine a game where you can force choke Elsa as Darth Vader.

 

[TheAnvil]

Not sure, but I love it.

Well, I'm pretty sure Sakurai isn't pulling Shrek or Mickey out of his magic hat.

I really don't think it's fair to lump Mickey with Shrek.

 

[Kenith]

I really don't think it's fair to lump Mickey with Shrek.

They're still both characters that aren't from games. That's why I did that.
In any regard I'd be inclined to agree...

I still need to watch Mulan tbh, though I just thought of Kuzco and Kronk as fighters. That'd be amazing, Kuzco being a puppeteer-esque character commanding Kronk. This is literally one of the best ideas I've ever heard!

 

[Strofirko]

I know the topic is already gone,but last year TGA was good,mainly because we got Koji Kondo ove generic rappers,and that tribute to Sierra history,but of course people will only see **** like "EA sponsored the show because they got GOTY" and forget the other 90% of the event.
