Social Ultimate Social Thread: Under Construction. Be Back Soon!

There are a few backstory chapters but most it is for obtaining items to class up units to an exclusive 3rd Tier Class.

It's up to you, though it may be worth it if you want to attempt to beat the post-game Dungeon without an annoying amount of planning ahead with Pitchfork items & extra grinding.

That seems underwhelming for $44.99. Especially considering that Revelations was $19.99 and that was an entire new full-length story.

Yoshi's Island (Melee) sucks, holy ****.

Not when you use rolling crates ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

lol then dont use meta knight side b in neutral

It's SO satisfying tho.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

lol then dont use meta knight side b in neutral

Honestly I think that's a move that's just incredibly popular with casuals, it looks really cool and the bounce-back at the end of the move when you hit something gives the illusion of being very safe, I had some friends who never played Smash at a party and one girl took a big liking to Chrom because she's his husbando and Meta Knight, when she played Meta Knight that was like the only move she did

In some cases, you totally should.

 

[Gentlepanda]

Speaking of FE, I've been interested in trying out one of the games so any suggestions?

awakening is an introductory game almost by design - you can't go wrong with it.

 

[TheMightyP]

If you guys want to see bad timelines, look at Sonic. It's a mess

It’s also so much better with Gogoat, as almost everything is.

It's like the most satisfying move in Smash. I don't spam it, but I like kiling with it. AND IT CAN BE ANGLED. ORGASMIC

 

[Blargg888]

Oh ****. I forgot that SoV had a season pass. I didn't buy it because it was more expensive than the game.

What the hell is in all that DLC? Is it worth buying it for a second playthrough?

Exp and item grinding maps, overclass shrines, and four bonus units.

The only dlc I bought was the four bonus units, because it was actually pretty cool having the Cipher units in the game.

No, not like that.
I just think he is cool.

You are pretty charming, I am not going to lie.

Thank you, I do stand up comedy so it's kind of a part of the job to appeal to people so I can have the audience on my side

ClaTheBae Hey....you pretty cool...maybe we could hang out or something hehe lol

I like to treat Them as different games.
RE2 was bad, RE2 remastered was great. That doesn't make RE2 good
Bowsers Inside Story is in the top 5 best games ever made, Bowsers Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey was a boring remake with nothing to add besides some mediocre minigames and really Awkward new graphics.
That doesn't make Bowsers Inside Story bad!

I do not have a crush on them though.

Oh man... don't get me started. My friend and I decided to to marathon some of the Modern Sonic games (06' and onwards) prior to Forces' release.

It was... definitely an experience.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

So all the times you liked my posts were just to abuse my popularity to gain more recognition? HOW COULD YOU I THOUGHT WE WERE FRIENDS!

Can you Just let me have my favourite Mario game without reminding me of what they did to it?

I am innocent, I promise!
Take my wallet and my credit card.

It did, but I think the haters' assertion that none of those things done right came together in a full experience.

I will absolutely say without any hesitation that Fates, on the whole, is the worst FE game. I will not say however that it's irredeemable garbage. There are things I liked. There are a hell of a lot of worse games out there.

Pretty much my take. I respect the ambition but I think they tried to do too much at once. Though for my money, Birthright is easily the worst as it doesn't bring anything to the table and the story is a poor man's Mystery Book 2 (even though Fates is more expensive).

As an older fan I can pretty much tell those who are new to the series from recent outings & Heroes that bickering about Best/Worst games is nothing new. The fandom isn't any more toxic than it has always been and the direction of the series has always been in question. I think the only consistant opinion is that Shadow Dragon was too straight forward of a remake for it's own good.

That seems underwhelming for $44.99. Especially considering that Revelations was $19.99 and that was an entire new full-length story.

I didn't purchase it either. Both Awakening & Fates were much more lucrative in terms of DLC, though honestly I feel a lot of it is pay-to-win or is width held for no reason. We shouldn't have to pay extra $ to make sense of their storylines.

RE2 was bad,

You lost me.

Serious note, RE1-3 & CV take a more specific taste and have an innate difficulty that most modern gamers don't want to wade through to get good at them. That I understand. But RE1-3 are also classics and ludicrously high sellers for a reason. And also Code Veronica existed, I guess.

 

[Cutie Gwen]

Wow DARE you. As punishment I'm going to enjoy more DBS
*notices I'm like 5 episodes away from where the ToP begins*
oh no maybe not

 

[Opossum]

So before Three Houses releases, I wanna play a FE game to completion to get hyped for it. I don't have time to really commit to playing more than one, though, since I'm cutting back on videogames for the next few months for our Youtube channel.

Here are the candidates:

• Awakening, just 'cause I really like it and can switch the parents/kids around again. Beaten it four times though.
• Shadows of Valentia, because I've only beaten it once. Really like it though.
• Path of Radiance because I started a new playthrough shortly before moving out in August and never actually went back to continue it.
• Thracia 776 because that game is ****ing hard and, I dunno, give myself a challenge that makes Three Houses easy by the time I get to it.
• Shadow Dragon because it's the best version of the original.

Thoughts, FE fans? Opossum got any input?

EDIT: Just to clarify, I have beaten all of these once before. I know what they're like. I just can't decide which experience I want before Three Houses drops.

Go for a Dark Mage Cord Shadow Dragon Solo Run.

Thracia's in the middle of getting a new and better fan translation, so maybe hold off replaying that one until it's done.

Mario has a more sensible timeline than Fire Emblem.

It's honestly not even that bad though.

Oh ****. I forgot that SoV had a season pass. I didn't buy it because it was more expensive than the game.

What the hell is in all that DLC? Is it worth buying it for a second playthrough?

I'd just get the Rise of the Deliverance DLC and MAYBE the Cipher Character ones if any. The Overclasses are mostly cosmetic since if you're at level twenty in a promoted class in SoV, outside of the final dungeon you'll never have issues. The others are just the grinding DLCs.

F is for friends who do stuff together.

If you guys want to see bad timelines, look at Sonic. It's a mess

I want to see a timeline where, as they were making Unleashed, someone on the dev team said, "Hey wait a minute guys. The werehog segments suck. Why don't we scratch that entirely and focus on making more of these awesome daytime levels instead?" And then Sonic was redeemed and everyone lived happily ever after.

 

[Ramen Tengoku]

The Zelda one's kinda bonkers, too...
It just feels like Nintendo drew names out of a hat and just went:

"So which game is next in the Young Link timeline?...
Uhh... let's see...
Twilight Princess, it is!"

The fact they just plopped Breath of the Wild at the end of all three timelines, and even swapped Link's Awkening and the Oracle games' placements, just solidifies this, for me...

 

[ClaTheBae]

Wow DARE you. As punishment I'm going to enjoy more DBS
*notices I'm like 5 episodes away from where the ToP begins*
oh no maybe not

The build up to the ToP is really good, but when you actually get kind of into it its like UUUuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

Are you liking it so far?

 

[staindgrey]

Thracia's in the middle of getting a new and better fan translation, so maybe hold off replaying that one until it's done.

Oh, really? Well ****. I bought the old translation on an SNES cart and everything four years ago. The story/translation/whathaveyou didn't leave an impression on me at all. It was my least favorite of the SNES games. Possibly my least favorite non-Fates FE game, actually.

 

[ClaTheBae]

Actually, if we take the shadow the hedgehog endings as different timelines, then there is a timeline in the sonic universe where Sonic joins up with a corrupt military and shadow ****ing kills him

I am actually pretty good at Chess.

Well, TP made a lot of direct allusions to OoT and the Hero of Time. I think it was always considered to be canonically after OoT.
