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

[Chrono.]

Hey so I just saw TFA with little knowledge of Star Wars and

Holy crap that was awesome

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

It took my last customer of the day 15 minutes to write his name, address and phone number on a form

15 minutes

 

[Khoru]

I beat Uncharted 2: Among Theives today.

I beat two Uncharted games real quick. Both were real fun.

I have to leave my PS4 behind for now though.

So back to Wii U / Xbox 360 games for now.

But I'm gonna be mischievous here.

Guess it.

Here's a hint.

It's a Namco game.

I've had it for a while.

I got it used.

You may ask yes or no questions.

THE IDOLM@STER

 

[Shroob]

You may very well be right, but that can also be explained by the fact that it refers to the other members of its trio. Red references Yveltal, Blue references Xerneas, there doesn't have to be another reason then that. Keldeo for instance has those feathers on its head that references Cobalion, Terrakion and Virizion in its Resolute form, and it doesn't have another underlying theme for those color's presence.

Except Keldeo is the 4th Musketeer. It's directly related to those 3.

 

[Burruni]

The only reason those were a bad idea was because you would look like a fool trying to play.

They were actually super easy though. Probably the easiest Special Stages in the series.

Except.
The selling point of handhelds were the ability of using them anywhere.
YOU TRY TO DO THAT WHILE SITTING IN A VEHICLE.

Any tips you guys could give me before I come back playing Xenoblade X?

Be VERY wary of Affinity Missions, as they are the most time consuming (in bad ways) and difficult things you can get yourself "stuck," in.

Don't do an affinity mission in the Industrial District hangar until you have a Skell unless you wanna go swimming for 20 minutes.

BEWARE of traveling in Noctilum because there is abundant higher-level-than-the-chapter-boss enemies.

When having to handle Enemy Base or Encampment type of areas, particularly in Oblivia, take them slow and aggro characters one at a time.

Go into the class that uses the assault rifle and longsword early on.

Pretend this game is a platformer. Then get creative and try to find as many "platforms" as you can.

Fighting is difficult at the beginning of the game. It is best to gain experience by doing quests and defeating enemies required in objectives.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

THE IDOLM@STER

No.

 

[Arcanir]

Except Keldo is the 4th Musketeer. It's directly related to those 3.

Just like how Zygarde is related to Xerneas and Yveltal, those colors can easily just be a reference to the other members of its trio, they don't necessarily have to be a nod to Hel.

 

[Chrono.]

Don't take the "The Repair Job" Affinity quest and go for the Longsword route

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Eh, I think maybe I'll get the game

I just haven't seen it at Walmart

 

[Shroob]

Just like how Zygarde is related to Xerneas and Yveltal, those colors can easily just be a reference to the other members of its trio, they don't necessarily have to be a nod to Hel.

It's however, possible that Zygarde could NOT be related to Xerneas and Yveltal. If Zygarde is based on Loki's spawns, then yes, it gives very little connection to Xerneas or Yveltal lorewise, which is why I'm saying...

Xerneas and Yveltal are a duo, ala Ho-Oh and Lugia. Zygarde is its own entity that represents a Trio through its forms.

Let's face it. Life and Death, Zygarde has nothing to represent immortality. If it was more designed on say, an Ouroboros, you could argue it was immortality, but it's not. There's nothing to show the snake eating its own tail. Thus, the Legendary DUO represents Life and Death, while Zygarde is his own thing, which is the spawns of Loki.

That's my theory.


Do note, just because it's a version mascot, does not make it automatically one of the main parts of the Legendary group. See, Suicune. While one of the legendary cats, is not on the same level as Ho-Oh or Lugia.

 

[Khoru]

are there time-based quests in xcx
like ones you can lose based on story progression

Spoiler

i know you lose lao so i guess stuff relating to him?

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

If you need non-indigen materials, it really is best to just use this:

It really isn't worth bumbling around for hours.

If you need indigen materials. Go to the barracks and spend reward tickets.

100% is not missable which is a major improvement from the first one.


@Fumi Got SSB4 DLC Right!, do as many affinity missions as possible since that's where most of the character development and world building is. If you skip them you are essentially only getting half of the experience.

Spoiler

The story makes you go through Lao's Affinity quests. The only thing you lose are his Heart to Hearts.

Other sidequests are not missable

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Zygarde Xerneas and Yveltal are the 3 primary colors

Although Zygarde 100% kind of ruins it

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

There really wasn't much of a problem with timed quest in the first Xenoblade.

There were only two instances that triggered when you lose those quest. When the first batch of people move to colony 6, and a major spoiler event. And even then, there is a decent amount of warning.

I'm sorry.
I don't see any damn Yellow on Zygarde.
Unless the rules of what a primary color is has changed since I was in school.

Considering X Zone 2 is going to be out soon, and even Smash spoils it, should we really keep calling THAT event a spoiler? The gaming world in general is making it pretty well known as is.

Burruni

Yellow is a complimentary color. That's why the acronym is RGB, not RBY.

The problem is that a ton of timed quests are only available during specific times of the day at locations you can't possibly know without a guide, and in that second instance there are like 20 of them which gets really annoying.

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

I think he was referring to RGB. Red Green Blue. Which are the primary colors for light I think.

 

[PsychoIncarnate]

Yes

Everything you know is wrong

Yellow is Green + Red

In color display, yes.
It's Red Green Blue for some reason.

However.

THIS IS REALITY AND I WON'T LET SCIENCE CHANGE THAT

Edit:

Yes

THEY'RE OPPOSITES. I WILL NOT ACCEPT THIS.

right yeah
i was also sorta implying areas that can be lost
and like half of the areas in xenoblade are inaccessible after plot stuff

I'm sorry.
I don't see any damn Yellow on Zygarde.
Unless the rules of what a primary color is has changed since I was in school.

there are two sets of primaries
rby, or subtractive colors, deal with pigment
rbg, or additive colors, deal with light

If you are referring to Fioria, I wasn't referring to her. I'm referring to the biggest plot twist in the game.

 

[Shroob]

Oh, the whole

Spoiler

Shulk killing the 'god' of that world, or just him in general?

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

Spoiler

The game ends when you do that so no.

I'm referring to

Spoiler: Major Spoilers

The Reveal Dickson was evil. The monado was Zanza. Zanza is a god. Shulk was already dead. Meyneth and Egil are now also dead, and the high entia were really part telthia who were created to help with the extinction of all life.

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Dark Souls
Tank! Tank! Tank!
Pacman and the Ghostly Adventures

Bam.

None of them.

Remember, its either on the Wii U or Xbox 360.

 

[Chrono.]

You know

Spoiler: late game XCX spoilers

I wonder how long till Elma's true form reaches that open secret status like Fiora aka Seven

 

[Khoru]

You know

I wonder how long till Elma's true form reaches that open secret status like Fiora aka Seven

when she's added to smash

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

You know

Spoiler: XCX major spoilers

Probably not for a long while. Fioria was huge. People thought she was dead. Elma being an alien doesn't really change that much other than making her hotter...

Not to mention the story isn't as big of a deal as the first game so not as many people probably care to discuss it.

 

[Shroob]

Spoiler

Should we even spoiler Fiora anymore? It's pretty much common knowledge what happens to her thanks to Smash and X-Zone 2

 

[Swamp Sensei]

I watched an Egoraptor video...

Was he always this "holier than thou" and bad at video games?

 

[Solfiner]

You know

Spoiler: late game XCX spoilers

Spoiler

It's pretty much there already, considering most people I know have been spoiled regarding it just when being at random parts of the internet. Now she only needs to be added to something in that form and we'll be set.

 

[Shroob]

Grumps haven't been the same for a loooong time. They seemingly lost their charm somehow.

 

[Chrono.]

Yeah but he usually backed it up by being kinda funny and great animations

now it's just... eh.

 

[Solfiner]

Ever since game grumps pretty much.

 

[Champ Gold]

I've should have seen this coming after the last good LP he had was Goof Troop with JonTron but he was truly like that with his Zelda Sequelitis


That was a mess

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

Was he always this "holier than thou" and bad at video games?

It honestly makes me question some of the things he criticizes. His famous Megaman Sequalitis being the biggest example. He complains about tutorials and yet, Game Grumps is the biggest example of why we still need them.
