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

I really hope nobody's expecting to get free games from some guy on GameFAQs.

'We need a Metroid trophy, should we put something from the Prime games? Or Kraid? People haven't seen him in a while'
'**** Metroid, the most hated character gets a trophy. And we'll make Ridley and Dark Samus NPCs for teh lulz too'

Brawl did have plenty of stuff from the Prime series. It did help that the series had 7 games released between Melee and Brawl.

Smash Bros. tend to add content more focused on games released after the previous Smash game. In Metroid's case, the only game was Other M... They could have included a few more trophies from Prime games, though.

The Zelda trophies on the 3DS version are mostly from Ocarina of Time 3D and Spirit Tracks. Likewise, the Wii U focuses more on Wind Waker and Skyward Sword, with some Twilight Princess content as well.

In Brawl, Donkey Kong has mainly content from DK Jungle Beat and Barrel Blast, whereas this game focuses more on DKC Returns and Tropical Freeze.

Melee focused a lot on SNES and N64 games with the bulk of content coming from games such as DKC, Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask, Super Metroid, F-Zero X or Star Fox 64. It's not a really new for Smash to focus on the more recent games for the trophies.

I'm not expecting anything, and none of his claims are too far out there, either.

2016 being the last year of DLC is very possible, for example. I'm interested in how close his guesses are though.

 

[Frostwraith]

I don't think it's too implausible to show off the Smash Bros. presentation during the VGA.

Not expecting it, though, as it seems better suited as something standalone.

I was specifically talking about Smash 4

I was well aware of that. Hence my answer.

I stopped respecting Jim Sterling once I figured out that he's open about cheating on his wife (and she does it too). Nice.

Take your pick what you find good or bad.

Cloud will be the last character DLC for this year. He will be released Dec 3-4.{<-- this only if the smash broadcast is like dec 1}

2016 is the LAST year that there will be character DLC. Nothing else after that.

There will be 3 Newcomers and 1 veteran. 2 are from the smash ballot (was considered a draw between these two), and another newcomer from a company that doesn't have a rep yet. (it is an iconic company, hate them or love them) {only 1 vet maybe}

There will be some new stage maker dlc next year, and a few more stages and mii costumes (some very cool ones from character we all wish could make it)

Sakurai has found his replacement for next smash (everyone will be happy about this, he takes on western feedback ALOT more) Sakurai will be focusing on his individual franchises for the next gen. {I think Sakurai hasn't found one yet but is taking a break and taking some time to reflect on his future}

Don't ask me how I know this, I just do. Infact, I am so confident in this, if I am wrong, I will give everyone who posts here a game of their choosing on the E-shop. {I want that game dude}

Peace.

QUESTIONS:
1.) What would you think characters would say to other characters ala the text box in MVC3? (Akin to what Zane13pyro posted but more as if the person won already)

2.) What 3rd party song would you like to see added in within the game? Do you feel there were missed opportunities?

3.) Ha ha, made you look.

4.) Does Swamp have a uncle-brother in Nevada? If so, write a 5 paragraph essay explaining why I care in the first place.

Oh god, that's a volatile topic.
Okay, on the one hand, yeah it's weird, and not at all something I appreciate.
On the other, his life has little to do with his show or his criticisms. They're all pretty valid.

So I still watch his show.

 

[wedl!!]

"It's weird"

I think it goes a little deeper than that considering he is consensually breaking his vows alongside his spouse.

Also I never said I would stop watching his show (which I wasn't that fond of to begin with). I just don't respect him as an individual.

wat. I need a source, I have a hard time believing the actual Jim meant this, and not his played for laughs character

 

[wedl!!]

His ask.fm, for starters. There's more to it but I can't link anything because I'm at school so you're on your own.

Ryu beats Link:
"I can appreciate a warrior who fights without speaking a single word...although I'd prefer fighting someone without a sword."

Bowser beats Ganondorf:
"You've really lost your edge, Ganondorf. You're a shell of your former self. Ha! Get it? 'Cause I'm the Koopa King! Oh, you're unconscious. Nevermind."

Marth beats Lucina:
"You're strong, but our blades are different - you won't win if you mimic my style."

 

[ChikoLad]

It's not cheating if it's consensual.

That's known as an open ended relationship.

It's a lifestyle some people prefer.

Xenoblade X reviews so far

That doesn't somehow make it not a problem in the grand scheme of things.

It's like if I was in the peak of my career as a baseball player. I would be making millions playing a sport I love. One day I suddenly decide to go work at Burger King full-time for a few months, not because I don't want to play baseball as a profession, just because I want the experience. Is my decision to squander my commitment to something I love suddenly better because someone approved of it? Just for a small experience?

So it makes no sense to me if you're still attracted to someone so deeply that you'd choose to have encounters with other people willingly, and your spouse would be doing the same. You're married for a reason; if you're cheating because you have marital problems, that's a different story (and there are far better ways to deal with it).

I'm pretty interested in it, but there's no way I'm buying 2 $60 games in the same week.

 

[aldelaro5]

....So, I thought the German lper couldn't show more of paper jam until release, but this wouldn't be the case because.....

http://www.twitch.tv/domtendo/profile

one of them streamed for 45 minutes and the footage for that time should have new stuff.

Exceptionally, I currently have a 2 hours class, but it got cancelled so I will report to you after i watch the VOD

That's not a very good analogy, as the people you decide to have encounters with aren't equivalent to a dead end job.

Also if you were a big sports player and took a break to do something else, it's very easy to get back into it. You're a star player, unless you completely let yourself go physically while at Burger King, you'd be fine.

I don't desire an open ended relationship myself. Sometimes I'm not sure I even want a relationship at all. However, open ended relationships are just a lifestyle some people prefer. There's nothing wrong with that as long as all parties involved are comfortable with it.

 

[IceBreakerXY]

...am I really the only Shovel Knight supporter?

You have me kenith

 

[Kenith]

I suggest we stop discussing "open-ended relationships" soon...I have a feeling that it will get out of hand quickly.

...it won't get out of hand if people don't make it go that way.

There's not much to say anyway. If people like that lifestyle, that's fine, nobody has to judge them for it.

I don't have that much, considering the stuff that gets argued about here.

Don't blame you. Just Cause is like Crackdown and Platinum/Suda 51 games.

You buy them at a later date with a cheaper price. Besides, I'm spending too much time playing MKX anyway. Also I reached newfound love for Pac-Man Championship Edition DX

I still want quotes like these:

After beating : "You can't shoot me down, you mangy mutt"

After beating : "How do you eat all this junk and still be this muscular?"

After beating : "Fakers. When will they learn?"

 

[ChikoLad]

And how much faith do you have that it won't?
I don't have that much, considering the stuff that gets argued about here.

Pretty good faith.

Also there is a difference between an argument and a discussion.

Honestly, saying "I don't think you guys can discuss things without getting angry at each other" seems more needless and inflammatory than anything that would derive from a discussion on open ended relationships.

 

[Fenriraga]

to : "Fighting for a better future is more important than fighting to amend the past. I hope you can learn that someday, like I have. I know how it feels to be used."

to : "You fight well. Did Star Wolf hire you? No... I don't think you'd fit in their kind of crowd."

to "Bringing this new species back to the Onion didn't seem to produce any Pikmin... But instead a large number of spotted Eggs. This planet never ceases to amaze."

to "Evolve all you like... my limitless potential became clear to me eons ago."

to : "Oh... I thought you were a Chimera! Maybe you'd get along with Boney..."

to "Do not dawn that mask for as long as I have... Or you may forget your true face."

Damn this is FUN.

Didn't Just Cause 3 get confirmed to have 3 minute loading screens AFTER the day 1 patch?

.....ok now I get it.

http://www.gonintendo.com/stories/247765-mario-luigi-paper-jam-review-round-up

The game reviews are starting to rise, this is why people would be allowed to show stuff.

From this article only (I will read msot of the reviews mind you), I can already say that it goes as I expected. Basically, they are mostly positive on the game especially with how Paper Mario is integrated and how the dialogs can be silly sometime which motivates you playing, but they pretty much agree on cons such as the story could be a bit better and the side quest could feel too repetitive.

I expected that because these were parts of my doubts before. The side quest tbh, from what i had seen, they did looked bland, but they were better than i originally expected because they felt diverse. It's just bland in concept that yoiu always save paper toads, but I coudl live with that as DT tbh, i liked it and it was just breaking some purple thingy in maps that were......kinda the same for a given world so.....

The other point tbh, that one I originally doubted before and I now can tell you I had good reasons. They claim the story wasn't really mind blowing or that it wasn't very impressive, for m&l, this is more on the negative side, but the fact that they still enjoyed the humor of the game goes back to my opinion on the game: that con wouldn't matter this much. Reminder that i usually don't like m&l humor, but so far on this tittle, i saw humore from both series which makes it more possible for me to enjoy it.

What I am pleased to see is they seem to like the integration of paper Mario and what it brings, this is what I care the msot of the game so this is why I am still hyped for it

Also, I love that most sites gave Xenoblade X 8s and 9s but Polygon gave it a 7.

This is the same website that gave Bayonetta 2 a 7 because it was too 'sexist'

Didn't Just Cause 3 get confirmed to have 3 minute loading screens AFTER the day 1 patch?

It did?!?! I didn't hear about it.
