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

[FalKoopa]

Undertale vs Super Mario World is an extremely hard choice for me.

SMW was the game that literally got me into gaming. And it's still one of the best platformers to date.
On the other hand, I immensely enjoyed Undertale and it is in my top RPG's I've ever played.

I feel so torn.

----------------------------------------------

Chrono. I know I said differently on Twitter, but after giving it a thought, I changed my mind.

 

[Chrono.]

No, he's in Project X Zone 1 as well.
Though I'm pretty sure this is Vergil's first appearance?

...I hope that this along with Cloud's reveal doesn't lead to an influx of Dante for Smash supporters...

He too was in the weird SNK vs Capcom game

Unrelated but I also found this gem of a design

Say hello to Sengoku-era Dante.

 

[NintenZ]

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:

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

Yes I forgot about...

Spoiler

Ruby and Saphire's relationship, which is implied to be romantic...

I forget these things when they're on hiatus.

To go back to Undertale.

It's one of the best games I've played in a while.

But yeah the game is overhyped to high heaven.

The reason that happened is because I personally think that its the kind of game that attracts the political complainer crowd.

From what I've seen, they politicize the game and show it as proof of progressiveness as opposed to being a great game that simply has those elements.

For example, Undertale wrote a cute lesbian couple (though I feel it was badly written in certain parts, I'd like more show, not tell) and a fun and memorable trans? character. Fans are making those things much bigger than they are....

As for the lesbian couple

Spoiler

I like both Undyne and Alphys as characters but I do have to admit their relationship kind of feels forced
The two royal guards do a better job at a gay couple imo

And a Trans character? I don't remember any, unless you are referring to Mettaton

Spoiler

whose process of Ghost->Robot can be compared to the process of transitioning
But not any in the literal sense

 

[Cutie Gwen]

And the thing his Heavy Rain is best of those three Quadratic Dreams games despite those issues (Seriously, Ethan should have died from the impact moreso than Jason).

I did hear good things about D4 (it's an Xbox One exclusive) so I'll see if it's worth it but I want a cop drama VN game like Policenauts, aka Hideo Kojima's best game he ever made.



Yep, better than all of his Metal Gears, Snatcher and Botkai

NOBODY should have died from that car accident! The car stopped IMMEDIATELY after hitting Ethan, meaning it couldn't have gone fast enough to injure him badly
I hear Boktai is like, the only nonstory focused game Kojima worked on, I hear the DS game, Lunar Knights is Boktai without the sun gimmick

 

[Swamp Sensei]

uhhh mind elaborating?

I know of two androgynous characters but I can't really think of a trans one.

Spoiler: Spoilers

Mettaton is never really stated to be one but there are some allusions that its the idea they wanted to tackle.
If you look in his house, you can see that he never liked his ghost body and wanted one where he could really be him.

It's not necessarily a trans theme as you can use similar language for a variety of things but its close enough to make people think that. Hence the trans? thing I did there.

I'm back from playing 7 hours of Xenoblade Chronicles aka "deh Shulk gaem", as in, not the new one.

After 7 hours, I have only JUST left the first cave/dungeon thingy (Tenghar Cave or whatever it's called) that you come to after leaving Colony 9, which is the "my first town" of this game.

I've gotten myself into a right mess, haven't I?

I will say right now, Undertale seems like a good game, and I've watched my friend play it multiple times.

Yet I still feel like there's parts here and there that I honestly don't find enjoying. Graphics are ok, but I can try to look past that. The humor can be funny, though I feel like it can be a bit forced at times. Genocide run just seems tedious due to all the enemies you need to kill and how boring and easy it can get to mess it up. There's also some trial and error to the game in battles that I find less difficulty and more annoying (By that I mean new boss battle mechanics being thrown at you with barely any time to practice it).

The music is something that I can agree is really great. I like a lot of the tracks in the game, but the characters and that included don't make it the master piece some will claim it to be (Like my one Mettaton obsessed friend). Undertale will be remembered, yet I feel like it will simmer in popularity in the coming years.

No, he's in Project X Zone 1 as well.
Though I'm pretty sure this is Vergil's first appearance?

...I hope that this along with Cloud's reveal doesn't lead to an influx of Dante for Smash supporters...

You say this, but I wouldn't mind Dante playable in Smash, even as a mii costume (I say that to a lot of Characters though lol). Also, I noticed they still use the classic design for this game. Wonder if it was because of the backlash over the new design.

That took you seven hours?

It took me like four...

Dang, this will be hard for you.

But dude, that's Foleo
Aka best trap
It should have the exact opposite effect with you

The fact that he's otherwise adorable is actually what makes me cringe. Otherwise it would just be laughter.

He too was in the weird SNK vs Capcom game

I'm confused by this.


As for the undertale, eh, overhype can kill anything for me. I don't know why, I don't even know too much about the game. Just seeing something everywhere I go makes me lose interest in it for some reason.

[ChikoLad]

7 hours because I wanted to quest and what not. I pretty much cleared up every quest that's doable in Colony 9 for a low level party, and bought out a few things in the shop. Since I realised early on that this is one of those "you'll see really strong monsters even early on" RPGs (as in I ran into a monster that was at Level 70 or so), I figured questing and getting rid of most monsters for loot and EXP would be wise for this game, rather than just charging through.

...oh, and because this game has materials that just pop up every where, and I am a total klepto in games. Yes, I already hate this. :V

But yeah I just got to Gaur Plain, and I figure that's where I'll leave it for now. The place looks huge.

[Kenith]

I was inspired by Champ Gold 's Top Ten Favorite Games collage to make my own! Behold!

Read from left to right, FYI.
Context:

Smash Bros. Melee: It's Smash. I find this one to still be the most fun.

Resident Evil: A game that quite literally haunted me for years, before I braved and eventually conquered it

Demon's Souls: Just a phenomenal and atmospheric action RPG that introduced me to FromSoftware's masterful Souls games.

Zelda: TP: I love Zelda and I maintain this is the best one.

Super Mario 64: My very first game! I love all the Mario platformers pretty evenly, but this one is special.

The Last of Us: Ellie is an amazing character.

Super Metroid: This game is actually perfection, Metroidvania is the best not-genre ever

FE: Awakening: I've played this game too much to not have it here. Also Lucina.

Sonic Generations: Combining the great gameplay of Colors with unhealthy amounts of Sonic throwbacks.

The Wolf Among Us: More of a story than a game, but holy ****ing **** it's amazing.

 

[wedl!!]

You could run Undertale on a bundle of needles and an MRI machine.

 

[A Distant Demon]

Oh make that 99k BOIS

also soem of the playbale incarnations have had little reveal videos giving a nice bit of backstory. Like this one

But now Lab Zero has released there best one yet

(yes this is an actual party member)

 

[Z25]

Nitpick time and such.

I'll preface by saying I've never seen the show, but from what I've heard, they still refer to themselves with feminine pronouns and such. So yes, they do have a gender. What they don't have is a biological sex. The whole sex (biological) vs gender (behavioral/social) thing.

Top Ten Games lists...I don't even know if I could do that. I could try, but who knows...maybe later tonight.

True, but I honestly can't remember if they use she or feminine pronouns a lot. I know they call each other by names often. I honestly don't pay to much heed to pronouns like that in the show. I focus more on the actual content.

I think you're probably good. Unless yours somehow doesn't meet the 2 GB of RAM requirement.

I'm still waiting for a YHVH vs Naga fight.
I don't even care if it's drenched in animu. If there's an all-out fight between the two deities, it'll make the experience slightly better.

 

[BluePikmin11]

Super Mario World is a fantastic game with fantastic Mario gameplay, fantastic artstyle, fantastic level-design, fantastic music. For me personally, it's the best Mario game out there.

Undertale though, has lovable characters, fantastic music, fantastic and easy story to understand, an innovative new way to play RPGs, a unique objective unlike other RPGs, memorable boss battles, replayability with different way to play the game, and much more.

I guess in that respect, in my opinion, I think Undertale is better than SMW. No other game has ever engaged me into the game with so many aspects than Undertale.

That makes it better
He's a cute trap that is has some muscles
Best of both worlds

This game relies so much on anime tropes I'm surprised we haven't seen a trap yet
Which is quite sad because it would probably make me buy the game

In all seriousness, I'm exclusively talking about the videos shown off. The Indivisible page showed Naga Rider has a Rider Kick as an attack, therefore he bae

Bro...I don't have a PS4. I have never played Bloodborne
I agree. As I said, Super Mario 64 is special to me because it's my very first game.

Hey, I wasn't denying muscular traps/fabbois. You should know that love them as well.(Especially some well toned Ash Crimson, mmm....) But uhhhh.... Yeah.... Every male has the same exact body and it urks me....

Really, at this point they should just make and release an anime alongside the game. I think it will sell better than the game, and actually boost the game's sales.

Not to start anything big, but seriously, if you don't want people calling you a SJW, you shouldn't really get upset over what people have to say about them and even back them. Just some friendly adive member to members. Was just on my mind, nothing personal.

I have bad news then... you can't gay marriage Foleo...

...Are there any other traps then? Pretty boys? What about potentailly your own avy?

If not, eh, at least I like straight up handsome men too~. Just wanted to see one with a trap.
