At the end of the game when Mario is telling Luigi to follow him, he’s bouncing around and yelling and generally being nuts.

And yeah, jumping and going hoohoo is what Mario does. But the way they portray it here is hilarious to me, he looks almost unstable.

OH I remember what you're talking about, and I recall it being annoying, but in a funny sense. I just never associated that scene with drugs, y'know.

As a bonus (to SE’s vault), the premium currency expires after 5 months.

TFW Genshin and other gachas are more consumer friendly than this game.

You're laughing

He just lost all his Mythril (it expired), and you're laughing

Recently got into Guilty Gear, and whenever I hear the word "society" now, I just think of-

 

[Hadokeyblade]

I wanted to play Chocobo... Guess i wont be doing that.

 

[MooMew64]

So

How 'bout that Mario Kart DLC?

 

[Shroob]

You're laughing

How 'bout another joke, Moo?

 

[Wario Bros.]

Yeah, Ninjala's free-to-play system is a really pleasant experience.

They don't pressure you to drop money or push **** right in your face (I feel like spending money because I simply WANT to)

 

[cashregister9]

Premium Currencies do not belong in games that you still have to pay for.

 

[Wario Bros.]

Now to start the final part of my Mario movie marathon (until Illumination buts in)- The 1993 film "Super Mario Bros. (extended cut).

 

[Hadokeyblade]

So

How 'bout that Mario Kart DLC?

I'm debating whether or not to get that or Persona 4 Ultimax.
Both come out around the same time, both are more or less the same price.

Ive always wanted to play Ultimax.

 

[PLATINUM7]

Having played Chocobo GP, it is okay. Can be a bit jank but the online is fun. Music is good too.

Have no idea why anyone would pay for the mythril. If you really want Cloud and Squall just play online. Still lame that SE would lock those characters behind the pass though.

 

[MooMew64]

I'm alright with MMOs doing it because of the kind of game they are and as long as it is exclusively cosmetics.

This kinda stuff, though? This is mad nasty.

 

[TheMightyP]

All Square had to do was make Mario Kart but with FF characters how did they **** that up

 

[Lamperouge]

It sucks ****, dude

MMOs have their own set of ****, The subscription model was a mistake. but I can't stay mad at FFXIV

 

[KingofPhantoms]

Finally got the Master Cycle in Age of Calamity.

Wasn't sure if I'd even accomplish that before finishing the main storyline lol.

 

[MooMew64]

NANOTRANSACTIONS, SON

THEY INCREASE IN RESPONSE TO WHALES SPENDING

Bad graphics

Did you see what the SE president had to say about NFTs?

 

[TheMightyP]

Fr this **** is free ****ing advertising for Mario Kart lol.

 

[MooMew64]

In fairness to decently ran subscriptions, tho

MMOs need constant maintenance and money to keep new content coming, something's gotta fund that, and people buying new copies only pays the bills for so long until you have your established playerbase.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Catching up on PLA, and am I just bad, or are Electrode's homing ball thingies a pain in the REAR? They're faster than you, forcing you to spam dodges, thus you can't get your balms out, and they catch up to you anyway. Plus they stay on the field for AGES. It's just- yikesssss

 

[TheMightyP]

Was he the one that said gamers just don't get it or was that Ubisoft?

The trick is to not throw balms until Electrode does its big AOE attack and tires itself out; You can then beat 'em up with a 'Mon and stun them for balm throwing.

Plus, dodge rolling will actually kill your momentum, it's actually better to just run from them if you can.

Gotcha. Kinda sucks that I can't throw balms passively while he's attacking me, but oh well! hshs

 

[KingofPhantoms]

I've got to finish Brilliant Diamond before I even consider going into PLA.

 

[TheMightyP]

He's lying, the actual trick is to mash the dodge button as fast as possible.

 

[MooMew64]

Yeah, it makes the fight a littler longer than it should be, but it's the only real safe way to fight 'em.
