Just found that that apparently there is a FNAF 4 just announced.

*sigh*

Can someone go kill it with fire for me?


Yeah, well, I did enjoy it. Wasn't great by an standard, but it wasn't bad

Please play another Metroid. You'll be shocked by how much better it is compared to Other M

I might. Maybe. I just haven't really been into Metroid (sort of like how @ LIQUID12A isn't interested in Legend of Zelda )

Still, I think people have overreacted to the game a little. I mean, come on, if you saw someone you just killed alive before your eyes, don't telling you wouldn't have a break down.

 

[Weeman]

Other M!?

I think the game hardly had any music anyways, so how are you supposed to remember anything other than Rid's theme?

Phantoon's theme was also pretty cool.

Samus has been through a ton more traumatic things than that. That's why that scene bothers everyone so much. She's already killed Ridley and seen him come back 20 thousand times, and she's been through a ton of worse situations than seeing someone die (and she always remained calm in those situations), so it's just really out of character for her.

Samus has already "killed" Ridley twice before (four if you count the Prime series) with no signs of PTSD which is why the scene is so controversial.

The problem is that they based OM's plot off a Manga (which has Samus going through some extreme PTSD) even though by the end of said Manga she's overcome it and is able to utterly annihilate Ridley.

Phantoon's theme was also pretty cool.

didn't bother doing facing him, I was done with the game as soon as I battled Queen Metroid.
Other M characterization of Samus isn't its only problem, it has awkward controls due to being forced to use the dpad on a 3D plane, boring level design that really doesn't incentive exploration (you know, a huge part of what makes Metroid what it is) and mind numbingly dull gameplay that grows shallow really quickly. The idea of switching between 3rd and 1st person had potential, but it was implemented pretty poorly. When I see people compare it to Sonic 06, I agree that it was something just as disappointing, especially considering Metroid was in pretty good condition until then (although the game is obviously nowhere near as much of a technical mess as 06).
I'll also never forgive those terrible scanning segments where they expected you to point out some really obscure stuff without any indication whatsoever as to what you are looking for.

I find myself frustrated by Robin lately. The changes made her wind jab better against some opponents, but many can still SDI out of it even if you're going for minimum duration. And now the fire jab whiffs on space animals and Dr. Mario. It feels like we got nerfed overall, and it was unintended?

I've also hit a plateau with the character. She used to be my best. Now I find myself switching to Pac-Man if I can't beat someone as Robin after a few tries and wind up doing much better. It's weird... it feels like she really struggles in close combat, even with a 4 frame jab. I want to stick with her, but it feels like I'm either missing something important in how you play her or the character really is holding me back?

Weird stuff.

 

[Chapter Serf]

Lightning for sure, and maybe Yuna for the heterochromia?

Oh, now it makes sense as to why the game gets all it's hate. I had no idea Samus had killed Ridley that many times and he came back to life and she had no problem. Whoa. Well, hopeful the new Metroid games for 3ds and Wii U make up for the mistakes that Other M made.

 

[Mr. Johan]

Samus previously offed Ridley in situations where despite the odds, Space Pirates could bring him back and raring to go. The appearance of the Robo-Ridley is a proof of concept, and Meta Ridley is a complete testament to it. And after seeing the **** Metroid Prime pulled to revive itself, Samus could reasonably conclude Ridley revived himself in the same way in time for Super Metroid.

But with his death in Super Metroid, all of Planet Zebes and the Space Pirates went down with him. No cybertech to artificially revive him, no Phazon to asspull him back. Ridley was killed in karmic fashion - killed by a girl he made an orphan of, looking for the creature that imprinted on her as its mother - and he should have been done and over.

Except he wasn't.

Despite the rational odds and even the impossible odds Ridley still found a way to come back. That's why Samus freaked the hell out (which even then was just for a split second in real time and was prolonged onscreen for drama reasons). He was known as the Cunning God of Death, and Samus saw firsthand just how far Ridley would go to keep that title.

 

[Weeman]

I am seriously the only one who wants more Metroid music?

Magmoor caverns amirite?

 

[Célja]

As much as I would love to make a list of DLC music I'd like to see in Smash, it's now almost 2 am where I am and I'm too tired plus I have a final at 11. I'll just leave with a couple of my most wanted songs (which I saw one of them was already posted, but still desiring this song) and then add on when I wake up or later if I can't get to sleep.

Edit: Meh, I'm making the list anyway. I'm up and I already have a passing grade in the class and due to how this teacher grades, it would be impossible for me to fail.

[Mr. Johan]

With the final two hours from now, I can safely say that this class I'm in is the absolute worst class I have ever ****ing taken in my life.


What a ****ing mess, Jesus H. Christ Sanchez.

Is it a course you have to take?

 

[Mr. Johan]

Yes.

My next two semesters are structured where I could take the course again in either of the semesters and still get everything done in Spring next year, but goddamn I do not want to repeat this course again if it's going to be as cluster****ed as it was this semester.

 

[Zantetsugun]

AWW YEAH!!!!
Also good luck to all of you who are facing down Finals Week, as am I.

 

[Kotor]

Now it's May 4th. Have some free cookies from the Galactic Empire.

 

[Pazzo.]

Happy May the 4th!

May the next Star Wars be good...

 

[RobinOnDrugs]

May the 4th be you!

I still can't wait for December.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Noooooope.

I'm back from my holiday. Did I miss anything important?

The story in that game was still bad, though.
And they made Ridley a Pokemon.

Pokemon made a Ridley first.

[Kotor]

Hi, Gerome. What are you doing in Bravely Second?

 

[Zantetsugun]

Now it's May 4th. Have some free cookies from the Galactic Empire.

"Oh, I'm afraid the mass-production oven systems will be quite operational! (evil laugh)"

 

[LIQUID12A]

Cookies?

Empire's gonna have to do better than that.

Oh wait.

OOOHHH

BACON

 

[Zantetsugun]

Even better!

 

[Kenith]

If you want a play a Metroid game you should be playing Super Metroid, not Other M.
Game is a blast. I haven't finished but I'm enjoying every second.

 

[Zantetsugun]

 

[Baskerville]

Fusion and Zero Mission are games I'd also recommend.

 

[redfeatherraven]

Cookies and bacon.

Sold. I'll get to work on the avi now.

Dat Han!Frederick. ****, that might be the best thing I've seen all night.

Well, now I'm torn.

Gotta love the internet! Especially when it comes to crossovers

 

[Wintropy]

@ LIQUID12A , sorry for quitting out match yesterday. The lag was pretty severe, and I'm pretty sure it was 'cos of my connection. It should be okay now. Just felt kinda jerkish for jumping ship so quickly, but I needed to sort that out and make sure it was okay. :3

 

[Mr. Johan]

#May4th #Meme #Wow #Much #StarWars

 

[redfeatherraven]

So I'm finally playing through Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. I thought I would have wanted to play through the other two again first, but no, turns out that's unnecessary because nobody will ****ing shut up about what happened.

Well, at least I'm cleaning out my backlog.

 

[Kotor]

Let's continue with the Fire Emblem x Star Wars.

 

[Syrek]

Hi, Gerome. What are you doing in Bravely Second?

It would appear that he has travelled through the Outrealms to reach Luxendarc and has somehow become even more suave than he was in Awakening.

 

[Kotor]

It would appear that he has travelled through the Outrealms to reach Luxendarc and has somehow become even more suave than he was in Awakening.

As long as his new look doesn't cause him to get more attention and suffer from even more manhandling, he should be fine in Luxendarc. Just to be safe, it would be best he never set foot in Florem.

 

[Drakonis]

I might. Maybe. I just haven't really been into Metroid (sort of like how @ LIQUID12A isn't interested in Legend of Zelda )

Still, I think people have overreacted to the game a little. I mean, come on, if you saw someone you just killed alive before your eyes, don't telling you wouldn't have a break down.

Metroid: Other M was the best attempt at a 3D Mega Man X game I've seen so far.
Too bad Metroid isn't Mega Man X and the story blew.

So I'm finally playing through Golden Sun: Dark Dawn. I thought I would have wanted to play through the other two again first, but no, turns out that's unnecessary because nobody will ****ing shut up about what happened.

Well, at least I'm cleaning out my backlog.

Oh, in Dark Dawn, nobody ever shuts up about anything.
It's seriously my number 1 reason why I thought it was quite a bit weaker than the first two games.
Well, that and that some of your party members are literally carbon copies of their parents sucks pretty hard, too.

 

[Syrek]

As long as his new look doesn't cause him to get more attention and suffer from even more manhandling, he should be fine in Luxendarc. Just to be safe, it would be best he never set foot in Florem.

Ah Florem! A den of inquiry full of wh*res and a certain man wh*re...
