Dirt? Next Warcraft? Aside from making the jump to an MMO I don't entire get what you're saying.

If anything, I'd consider Elder Scrolls to be the Dragon Quest of western RPGs. It's a hugely famous and long running series and whenever a new one comes out its practically a national holiday. Oh, and both series' newest entries were MMORPGs that were total flops.
Elder Scrolls series is good.
The problem of Skyrim was more the casual community Bethesda got with it,and Bethesda foolish tried to cash in with it.
Then we got MMORPG that tried to implement a system similar to WoW, and a poor man Hearthstone that nobody remembers anymore.

They tried killing a hispanic girl for being white and drawing a character who can change shape whenever she wants as a skinny person instead of fat

I have no comment...
Steven Universe has an obnoxious, awful fanbase to equivocate how bad a show it is.

Please tell me you don't really mean that...

To me, the worst fanbase is the Smash fanbase. Screw those guys amirite?
Thanks God we're not part of them!

Probably has something to do with the "WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE GAME? IT'S IRRELEVANT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOR XENOBLADE" attitude some fans have.
Also are you really feeling it? 'Cause it Reyn time!
And Chuggaaconroy said this and he's the gospel so...

Explain to me what is good about the show without mentioning equal representation in media because I cannot see it. I've watched a couple episodes and took almost nothing out of it.

Also do not even try to justify the attacks on Doxxy with your stupid Pearl meme face.

SU's fanbase is actually divided between 3 sections:
1-The Memelords
2-Gravity Falls fams who started watching it because of a hiatus and make way too many conspiracy theories about both shows
3-Tumblr

People said Morrowind was the "dumbed down" when it first came out because it was on Xbox as well as PC.

People said that Oblivion was "too casual" when it first came out.

This is the Elder Scrolls cycle. It never ends.

I will agree that ESO's probably is that it tried too hard to be WoW. Which is the entire genre's problem and is the reason why its stagnating and approaching extinction, or at least a horrible dark age,

Oh yeah, I forgot they tried to rip-off Harthstone too which is just a dumbed down version of the fantastic WoW TCG anyway

I like the show's writing, and plot. Story gets pretty good, while also having some really random and funny episodes. At the same the have deeper plots and good character development throughout. Overall I like the show, and it has a fanbase due to these things and much more.

Everything about the show is great, the storytelling, characters, soundtrack, memes, voice acting, animation, the list basically goes on forever.

You met Chuggaconroy? I am officially jealous of you. I love his stuff and one of his Sunshine videos is the reason I go on the internet.

Gahhh I hate being jealous.

Replace PS All-stars with the character speculation community and it works as well :troll:

Steven universe is great And the fan base is a mixed bag but leaning more towards bad than good.I personally prefer star vs the forces of evil,regular show and of course gravity falls over steven universe but highly recommend it for those who haven't watched

I don't think I could get into Steven Universe...

I mean all I have to do is hear "lesbian space rocks" and it's hard to take it seriously....

It just sounds like a bad B movie from the 60s.

To be fair, they technically aren't lesbians. They have no physical gender, even if they look feminine.

THANK YOU! Lesbian space rocks is all I hear about it. As someone who likes a show in which some guy transforms into goofy armour to fight teh evulz, that's just dumb

I don't even think it's implied that they're lesbians to begin with... Where did Swampy get that from... :urg:
Garnet
Pearl + Rose
Technically they aren't lesbians because they don't technically have a gender. But the implications are all there.

Saying the show is just LSR is quite a generalization though.

They look female. They use female pronouns about each other. They are in a relationship iirc. If I dated another woman, would we be considered a lesbian couple?
But still...
Garnet

This. You're basically generalizing it as that when it's not even the premise... :/
(Still I remember the implications are there and that...)

I don't get it. The Mario and Sonic series has had the same characters since the second game and now they're adding new ones... and the advertising is barely featuring them. In case you missed the new characters are

:4diddy:,:rosalina:,Nabbit, :4wendy:,:4ludwig: and Dry Bones for Mario and Sticks, Rouge, Jet and Wave for Sonic.

I wonder who the last 2 Sonic characters are.

I mean as stated, the inferences can be made from dialogue, especially when they talk about Rose( who ironically would need to be straight or bisexual) as well as this:
Garnet
Pearl + Rose

But I agree there is much more to it then that.

The only "pop" cartoon show that I actually watch is Adventure Time, where they kill new characters in 3 episodes since their first appearance, revive them one season later, make a 7 episode ark about not even half of a X character origins, but can explain about the origins of Y character in 30 seconds , and that crap still going , and I still watch it.

I saw a few a episode ms of Steven Universe and just said 'nah'.

It just seems meh and really underwhelming. Plus that stick art character design gets really old after seeing it so much in Adventure Time.

I might need to catch up on Gravity Falls but IMO Regular Show is still the best animated show around.

I would say South Park, The Boondocks or American Dad but I'm talking kids shows. Plus I kinda figured it's a flavor of the month thing like Phineas and Ferb was and what I thought MLP was gonna be until the rabbit hole got deeper.


Plus there's isn't a lot of variety with cartoons anymore. It's either LOLSORANDOM, Pretentious Hipster or Anime wannabe. There's just no middle ground anymore

Why not just tell me? I'm on the gamepad and I refuse to turn Stand Proud off for anyone. Jojo too good
...You know. I get Jojo is good and all that, but you can stop it for a few minutes to see one video. Either that or just Google Steven Universe.

I'm just saying there's a vast amount of resources. It's not hard to find things.

That reminds me. Nickelodeon parodied 'Netflix and chill' completely ignoring how it's about sex in an advertisement featuring Spongebob. It's sad when companies use memes to advertise their stuff without using the right context

I was not notified by any of these 600 messages... :p

Anyway, changed my avy to Henry from FE awakening. I never ever stick to one avy, so it's best to remember me by my personality and that guy that likes a lot of posts ton of posts. :p

But yeah, only on this second playthrough of FE did I realize my relatability with Henry.(First time I was confused because he looked like my avatar.) Dude's absolutely brutal and metal and I love it. :p In fact, I'd have a more brutal avy, but... Family friendly site.

It just sounds like a bad B movie from the 60s.
Nah, as a fan of those types of movie, that's a whole different league.
I don't even think it's implied that they're lesbians to begin with... Where did Swampy get that from... :urg:
It's something the fans say all the time. You know, because they have love for one another at times and the whole fusion stuff.

Also, this alone makes me want to not get FE Fates because of how hard it made me cringe yet laugh.

Yeah, remember when we talked about bad fanservice?....
