why the frick is Madagascar 2 getting memed?

Memes are like dreams, Noi.

Confusing and temporary, but never truly gone. As long as you hold the meme in your heart, it will always come back to you.

 

[Wademan94]

It's basically law that any Dreamworks movie is bound to become a meme

Shrek, Bee Movie, and Boss Baby all already had their meme stardom...

Now it's Madagascar 2's turn

What’s next? Over the Hedge? Turbo?

Update on Fire Emblem Warriors.

I love it. The game is fun as hell, it's pretty deep for a Warriors game too. Surprisingly the weapon triangle works quite well. It still feels odd as hell that Ike and Roy aren't in this game, and it does feel like they're the two that's "missing", (maybe Hector too) but every character that is available is really unique and fun. Really looking forward to a sequel where we do get Ike and Roy and more, more so now than ever. I just hope it comes sooner rather than later...

What is this? Am I...agreeing with NonSpecificGuy for once in my life? I thought we had to be mortal enemies!

Being serious, I completely agree with this. Fire Emblem Warriors was a genuinely fun time, and I enjoyed 100%'ing the Story and Mission Modes. The Roster is an absolute dumpster fire, but the gameplay is honestly great (at the very least it's better than Hyrule Warriors). It's a real shame that the roster held the game back because besides that it's an amazing game.

Here's hoping Fire Emblem Warriors 2 comes out soon to fix the issue of the roster. If they focus on another three games I'd like to see:

Spoiler: Proposed Roster + DLC

• Path of Radiance/Radiant Dawn
  • Ike
  • Soren
  • Micaiah
  • Zelgius
  • Sothe
  • Nephenee
  • Tibarn
  • Sanaki (DLC)
  • Nailah (DLC)
  • Titania (DLC)
• Blazing Sword
  • Eliwood
  • Hector
  • Florina
  • Ninian
  • Oswin
  • Nino
  • Rath
  • Matthew (DLC)
  • Athos (DLC)
  • Merlinus (DLC)
• Echoes of Valentia
  • Alm
  • Gray
  • Kliff
  • Clair
  • Lukas
  • Mae
  • Saber
  • Zeke
  • Tobin (DLC)
  • Boey (DLC)
  • Berkut (DLC)
• Misc
  • Roy
  • Ephraim
  • Eirika

25 Characters, similar to OG Fire Emblem Warriors. This roster is more fairly balanced though. For the sake of ease a lot of these characters be clones of one another (i.e. Roy and Eliwood, Ephraim and Lukas/Nephenee, Soren and Kliff, Nino and Mae, Florina and Clair, Sothe and Matthew). Additionally, it adds new character types such as Daggers (Sothe and Matthew), Armor Swords (Zelgius), Armor Lances (Wallace), Cavalry Lances (Zeke), Infantry Axes (Hector), Cavalry Bow (Rath) and beast units (Tibarn). I'm sure it could be better, but on top of base Fire Emblem Warriors+DLC I would say this is pretty good.

Turbo became one for a little a bit

I don't think Over the Hedge has, yet... that's a good guess

Echoes of Valentia

One of my favorite games along with Fire Emblem Fatequestrightvelations.

FE Warriors is...HMMM...

*Sigh* Yeah, I gotta be honest: It's probably my least favorite game in my Switch library. FE Warriors roster was incredibly disappointing to me, and that hurt my enjoyment a ton. It's a fun enough time for the most part, but I genuinely enjoyed Hyrule Warriors more. That game just had a lot more going for it for me.

Also playable Midna so

Don't Warriors sequels tend to not cut characters though, due to ease of asset reuse?
That and Archanea still got screwed over way too badly.

Sure, Hyrule Warriors has the better roster, but I enjoy the gameplay of FE Warriors way better. The Weapon Triangle Mechanic is well done, and makes you think about what units to use for a given map and where they should go. The pair up system works well in tandem with this. The capability to give orders to CPU units is a blessing and eases stress off the player slightly because you know the CPU can at least fend for themselves as you go between objectives. While the story isn't good, I absolutely loved the supports in the game. Seeing different characters interact with one another when they typically wouldn't is nice, and the supports were pretty well written for the most part and providing good characterization as a whole.

Plus we got Matt Mercer talking to himself which is pretty funny.

That's the point. It's 50+ Fire Emblem characters and covers over half of the series in terms of games. Besides, I feel like with DLC Archanea became pretty well represented. Sure, it'd be nice to see more, but I don't think it's needed as much as new series.
Plus I threw in Zeke so he can play the role of Camus in challenge mode maps.

No but my avatar is from an anime adaptation so the situation is a bit trickier.

Especially since said adaptation isn’t really known at all.

I wonder if we could see a series adapted into the Warriors formula that would be able to take everything that works from both those games or at least make a worthy Warriors game.

You mean Fire Emblem Warriors 2?

:^)

 

[Opossum]

My main issue with Fire Emblem Warriors' roster isn't even the roster number or (most) of the characters that got added, or even that there was only three games making up the majority.

My issue was that of the eighteen characters in the base roster from those three games (in other words, not including Rowan, Lianna, Anna, Celica, or Lyn), we didn't get a 6/6/6 split...we got a 3/6/9 split. Awakening was perfect. One third of the core eighteen, perfectly proportional. But having nine for Fates and only three for Shadow Dragon is in no way justifiable. Like, ignoring the fact that it took until DLC to get Azura for a moment, their excuse was that they didn't feel Fates was adequately represented unless every single one of the royal siblings of Hoshido and Nohr were in...and yet they didn't seem to care that Minerva, a key character in Shadow Dragon, didn't make it in until DLC, while Hardin, another absolutely major character, wasn't playable at all, despite the complete absence of a playable lance cavalier.

Still bitter about that. The game otherwise is perfectly fine, but man...the ratio, man.

It has redeeming parts for me for sure, but there just isn't much there to keep me interested. I haven't even finished it yet because of that, unfortunately. HW's Adventure Maps (I think that's what they were called?) were super interesting to me, and the amount of creativity and unique movesets the game had to offer were fantastic.

I could go into greater detail about the things in FEW that bug me, but I'm on mobile right now and typing things takes forever so I'll have to save it for another time, lol.

To each their own, though. FEW is a good game, it just didn't have the things I was hoping for in it.

 

[Wademan94]

I know there’s not really a medieval setting to work with (aside from the obvious) I’m wondering if a Sonic Warriors game would work? A lot of characters that would each be pretty unique and they could do something with the Speed/Flight/Power dichotomy.

 

[SneakyLink]

What if...

Hyrule and Fire Emblem has a crossover Warriors game?

 

[Deleted member]

TBH I'm just waiting for Kirby Star Warriors.

 

[ZephyrZ]

Don't you love it when you almost make a hype comeback but then die to a random down tilt?

That was my Charizard a few moments ago. I was at nearly 200% against an Isabelle at zero, each of us on our last stock. I quickly brought her up past 90% and even got two Flare Blitz reads to do it, but in the end I died to a random tilt.

I was just one Bair or Flare Blitz away from turning things around, and I hate that.

I agree. I like both games, but FEW felt somewhat bland to me. I'm willing to chalk it up to the fact that I really love LoZ, and only just like FE.

 

[Idon]

I think my main issue with the Warriors games is I always come in expecting an exciting action game with difficult bosses and such.

But what I inevitably get is a real-time strategy game where I have to manage the entirety of an army's work because everyone on both sides have the combined collective intelligence of a gerbil. Also, damage sponges.

Goddammit game, I don't care if my commander's in trouble, I've captured literally all the bases and I'm fighting the boss of the level.

I like FE, but I adore Zelda.

 

[Deleted member]

FEW cast-aside is pretty much one of the best Warriors spinoffs there is. Main issue roster-wise is that it is difficult to balance the cast of Fates unless they decided to cut the royals partially or completely, and tbh I doubt the fates representation would've worked without them very well. Although thinking about it, they cut Azura from the main roster which was pretty silly so they could've hold back the representation a bit for them.

That said I would have preferred if the game only focused on 2 FE series, as I felt the Shepherds felt incompletein the base game with only 5 members plus Lucina and the Shadow Dragon could've used more reps. I fear if there's a next game, its not going to be fixed and will end up as Three Houses + guests (Roy and Ike).

I find Warriors games are only fun in Co-Op, and even then, the few I've played, I never outright bought myself and was the back-up for someone else. Having tasks like that to manage with someone with some actual brains also helps.

I don't care for the enemies being so easy either. But I'd be lying if a Marvel, Dragon Ball or Mega Man Warriors wouldn't tempt me to play them anyhow.

I think my personal first experience with Warriors games was the Gundam one. Fun, but not exactly for long.

Yeah, I've heard him for so long, I'm starting to be able to call his voice out instantly. It's that "tough" guy voice. It's not as noticeable as Yuri Lowenthal, but you can start to notice his mannerisms and the type of work he does.

Ah. Right. Same dude who's Sonic and Chris Redfield. He was also Eddy Gordo's voice actor for Tekken 6(though in cutscenes and not in battle I think). Of course they eventually gave Eddy a Portuguese voice, fitting how Tekken handles its voice acting.
