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

[Khoru]

It's perfect.

it's just a hekatonkheir
i love this

 

[FalKoopa]

Oh, the Mega challenge, huh.

Spoiler: Mega Ursaring

Normal/Fighting
Larger claws, larger size, has 5 rings on his stomach (think Olympic Logo), more heavily built.

Imagine this, but upright.

Spoiler: Mega Donphan

Ground
Instead of the tyre pattern on his back and truck, it's now the catterpillar tracks of a tank.
Much larger in size - the size of an actual elephant and with larger tusks.

Spoiler

Spoiler: Mega Luvdisc

Becomes Alomamola.

Spoiler: Mega Jynx

Uh... let's not go there.

 

[Chandeelure]

I found this Mega Dugtrio.

I don't know why it looks like Wario.

Because Wario is a fine piece of ass

At this time of the year it gets dark at around 4 PM in Sweden. No wonder the depression rates are so high.

And I thought getting dark at 5 PM was bad.

The day length changes must be even bigger in northern Europe.

Catalonia is trying to gain independence from Spain

Since when is that news? lol

They've been trying that for ages. XD

Going by that news article, however, it seems they're getting more serious about it.

I've been to Barcelona the last summer and they very much have their own cultural identity. Different language, the relative absence of Spanish flags (in favor of the regional flag), more regional media outlets and services compared to other places in Spain and such.

It may not seem much, but added together makes it feel it's a more distinct place from the rest of Spain. They even have their own Internet domain code! Most of the websites hosted in there use .cat instead of the usual .es.

Speaking of Fallout 4:

Spoiler

AC Unity 2: Nuclear Wasteland Edition

*sigh* I was too hopeful for this game, as is increasingly the case with big-budget AAA titles.

That's not real, it's a shop poking fun at Bethesda AND AC Unity

A Distant Demon remember the RWBY comic I posted with the reaction images?

You can find more!

Speaking of AC, how has Syndicate been? I haven't been hearing anything about falling through floors, so I'm hoping they learned their lesson.

Saw the firat one already on the reddit.

But the others are new. Will read later.

Oh, good.

As is, I'm teetering on Fallout 4 as I've heard neither good nor bad things about it, only 'meh' things.

Someone told me you could traverse the entire world in about 10 minutes, and that sounds incredibly small to me unless there's some new mode of travel I don't know about.

Someone else told me there's very little difference between Fallout 3 and 4, at least not enough to make you want to go out and pay for a whole new game.

Help me make up my mind

General consensus seems to be "well it's not as bad as Unity".

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Mewtwo be like 'Zoom Punch!'

Yoga yoga yoga!

Also on the topic of Mega Evolutions...
Swamp Sensei

Mega Dugtrio
You add another Diglett, and they look even more pissed.

Actually it looks like this:

And here is mega venomoth:

And I think this would make a great mega mew concept:

This actually reminded me of SMRPG's Mallow.

Looks like a magical girl

 

[Chrono.]

I wonder how accurate this is.

(there's no real spoilers here don't worry but if you dont wanna see the overworld then you shouldn't watch)

 

[Frostwraith]

How about Mega Chandelure to boost its already high Sp. Attack for maximum destruction and soul-burning?

As for the design, make it a more elaborated chandelier with even more flames.

Today's Gen I. Can't wait for Gen IV though, got some cool ideas

 

[Soul.]

Mega Mew would prolly have base 120 or 130 in everything except HP. I'd lean towards base 120.

 

[Solfiner]

Dunno how accurate it is, but I do know that X is ****ing ginormous. Stated to be 5 times bigger than the original.

 

[Thelimomon]

I had some ideas for Pokémon type combinations:

Spoiler

Dark/Fairy - Something seemingly cute, but suspicious at the same time. Something Mawile-like could work.
Ice/Fairy - How about some kind of Snowball? Something Swirlix-like.
Dragon/Fairy - Some mystic dragon.
Electric/Dark - Some kind of Anglerfish that lives in deep (not underwater) caves.
Electric/Psychic - A brain.
Electric/Grass - How about a potato battery?
Grass/Dragon - Some ancient dragon with plants and grass grown over it.
Fire/Grass - A CHILI PEPPER. Or a nettle.
Steel/Ice - I really think Glalie could have this type, but It would give him more weaknesses.
Bug/Dark - Some Pokémon that's based on a black widow.
Bug/Dragon - How about Mega Yanmega? I mean, it's a Dragonfly.
Bug/Ice - For some reason, I'd like to see some kind of Ice-Butterfly.
Bug/Psychic - It could be based on some kind of moth with hypnotic eyes on its wings.
Poison/Psychic - ALL GLORY TO THE HYPNOTOAD
Poison/Fire - Why do I have the idea of a burning frog?
Poison/Rock - A scorpion could it be.
Fighting/Ghost - This guy.
Normal/Dark - I can imagine a Raccoon Pokémon.
Normal/Ice - Some snow wolf/rabbit/fox.
Normal/Steel - An armadillo.
Normal/Ghost - I like the Opossum idea.
Normal/Rock - Another armadillo.
Normal/Poison - How about a Platypus?

 

[Jdaster64]

No love for Mega Lapras? Not the best at coming up with designs or such, but personally I'm surprised it hasn't gotten one already. It's definitely gotten a ton of focus throughout the series; you even get one in X/Y as a gift.

Also, either a 'possum or Schrödinger's-cat-inspired Normal/Ghost-type would be the best thing ever.

How have you heard neither good nor bad? Almost every game review site is giving it 9/10 or 9.5/10. If you like any of the previous entries, you're probably gonna like this one. If you hate those games because they have bugs... well this game is going to have the same issues. When you create an open world and let the player have freedom, you're going to have a LOT of bugs, unfortunately.

Already? But it's just Day One.

But how?

In my case it's because I did more than 1 amiright? tbh I had so many ideas for other generations so I thought '**** it, going all out'

 

[Swamp Sensei]

Already? But it's just Day One.

But how?

Today was Gen 1 and only Gen 1 Pokemon.

I even gave a list of Pokemon to use.

Read....

I don't trust game review sites. Ever since IGN's Kane and Lynch scandal, I'm too far gone on the suspicion that those numbers are bought and sold and I'm better off hearing from people I know who've actually played the games, or by watching trailers with a substantial amount of gameplay footage.

I've only seen two trailers so far, and both were largely cinematic. That's often a huge red flag to me, though I can think of plenty of examples of games with mostly cinematic trailers that still paid off well so it's not enough for me to completely write it off.

Hey, I followed the rules... I say the challenge should still continue.

Exactly, Smogen would love to have this in the meta.

Technically some people didn't fail, I don't remember everyone but there were about 5 people including Golen and Opposum who followed your rules

Imagine Mewtwo doing this lol XD

 

[LIQUID12A]

Day one of Swamp's Mega Pokemon challenge, eh?

...

Where's the microtransaction that gives me 100 clues/tries/slots/whatever for 20 dollars?

 

[Deleted member]

I dunno about any rules
Because I was lazy and skipped 8 pages
But I know I'll make Mega concepts for the Legendaries on the dahs of their Gens
Because if Etrian Odyssey has taught me anything it's how to design broken super bosses

 

[CyberHyperPhoenix]

So Fallout 4.

Apparently the game has a ton of from drops in different places and is a train wreck on PS4.

So much for hyping that game up lol

Just highlights the weakness of current gen consoles really.
Might as well link the Digital Foundry video.

A game being **** at launch? What a surprise.
...No, really. The hell is it with AAA companies and not knowing how to make the things they're known for? First the PC ports of Arkham Knight and BOIII, and now this.

 

[Chrono.]

It has come to my attention that the no face glitch in Fallout 4 WAS real and not some shop...

There was a problem fetching the tweet

Oops KenboCalrissian

On the kinda bright side is that it's apparently only on the PC version so... hurray?
