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

[Swamp Sensei]

No, but I'd be very interested in knowing more.

Look up King Leopold II and the Belgian Congo.

That man did a lot of terrible things for rubber.

TIL, Platinum is making a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game

Platinum is expanding their horizons more, which is something I like

Doesn't really narrow it down considering there are at least 100+ Pokemon with that symbol in their name


Edit: Wait, what?!

Entei's Japanese name has that symbol in it!

What is this bias @Robotnik Claus???

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Fun Question time.

If you could have one more rep from every 3rd party SERIES who would

A) You want?

B) You put in based on iconicness, relevancy, popularity.

Mega Man includes all his series, Final Fantasy includes all it's games. Can say none if you don't think it's applicable

A)
Sonic-Knuckles
Mega Man-Zero
Pac Man-None
Street Fighter-M Bison
Final Fantasy-Kain Highwind

B)
Sonic-Dr Eggman
Mega Man-Zero
Pac Man-Ms Pac Man (probably better as an alt though)
Street Fighter-Chun-Li
Final Fantasy-Either Black Mage or Sephiroth

Sonic - Metal Sonic! also knuckles. Metal Sonic could very well just be an alt
Mega Man - Bass (and Treble)
Pac-Man - Ms. Pac-Man (Alt)
Street Fighter - Chun Li (Although M. Bison would be good)
Final Fantasy - Squall (Or, Terra. Squall works better with Cloud already in)

The thing is with Japan, it's not their history that's worth being wary of. There's a lot in modern day Japan that's eyebrow raising. The treatment of people with disabilities, the infamously harsh working conditions and lack of gender equality to name a few things.

I'm not saying that if you're Japanese you shouldn't be proud of your country or that it's wrong to love Japan. The truth is, I wouldn't be nearly as bothered by a lot of the most questionable aspects of Japan if I didn't love it.

I know I'm overreacting, but I see a lot of people put Japan on a pedestal and treat it like it's some kind of promise land.

I agree that some people act as if Japan is perfect, but to be fair, some Americans act the same towards the US, though it too is pretty bad in some areas:

• veterans are generally treated like **** when they're discharged (especially disabled ones) and a lot end up in minimum wage jobs and can barely feed their families (been that way for over a century).
• Sexism towards both males and females, just in different areas
• Current racial tension
• gun violence
• Crappy economy
• Poor education system

It gets even worse when you consider what the US has done in the past...

Treating any country like it's perfect is problematic as it requires one to ignore or be ignorant of the plight of others. Patriotism to the point of ignorance is a terrible thing...

I had fun, so it doesn't matter in the end lol gg :^)

I really want Zapdos tbh.

No Entei please :^)

 

[Opossum]

Ursaring's on that long ass list.


HOPE.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

I really want to like that game, but apparently I don't like popular pokemon so the chance of their being any pokemon I care about is pretty low

 

[Opossum]

For reference, here's a smaller list. It takes out already playable Pokemon, confirmed Assists, Not Fully Evolved Pokemon (barring Jigglypuff, since Smash makes her kind of standout in that regard), and unworkable body types (basically Fish 'Mon, Unown, and Cloyster, Electrode, and Dewgong). It...narrows it down a little further.

What do you guys think about Mynintendo's Xenoblade Chronicles X review?

Should 28 hours into a game of that scale be considered an "early impressions article" more than anything?

Thoughts?

Swamp I was in the midst of editing it.

Forgot to take them out of the second draft since it's late and my brain read Sandslash twice, and Pigeotto as Pidgeot.

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

Got a link? Was it a bad review?

I read it and tbh, I'm not sure what to think of it:

28 hours is long enough to judge how good the game is, but not how good the story is.

 

[Arcanir]

Good jobs on the lists Golden and Oposum!

Looking at the list, unfortunately it looks like Greninja will sit this round out, but at least Salamence, Terrakion, Noivern, Luxray and Galvantula are still options for personal favorites. As for the list itself, I'll probably also play around with it using different criteria, I want to see what I can find out of this as it'll be fun to think about and see if I can correctly guess the newcomer.

It's now December.

becoming french?....dont worry man they have wonderful toast!
(this is actually a double joke as french toast was only called that around world war 2 where it was originally called German toast)

now when it comes to voices just dont pick the rookie(bryce papen brooke) as well i just explained with its voice actor
and youll be fine

 

[True Blue Warrior]

Has this already been covered?

 

[Chrono.]

So what's new in general and leak-wise?

We're expecting a Pokken newcomer on the 10th and that's about it.

The only rumor so far is a terrible FAQs one that we covered yesterday.

 

[Shroob]

As much as I hate to admit it, I don't expect the Direct this week. It just 'feels' like there's too much going on this week, ya know? Triforce Heroes patch, XCX, Game Awards...

Next week however? Seems likely.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Has this already been covered?

Interesting stuff.

I was not aware about the Link character. Maybe he was a test character.

Regardless, Isaac for Smash 4. Hopefully Bearded man Isaac.
