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

I knew I should have cut the WiFi in there. Oh well. Let’s see him survive a night with the gremuloids.

I put on my robe and wizard hat. I cast level 8 chicken of the infinite. King Arthur congratulates me for destroying Dr. Robotnik's evil army of Robot Socialist Republics. The cold war ends. Reagan steals my accomplishments and makes like it was cause of him.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

**** I need a name for it.

I was gonna call it “This game SUCKS” but I feel like that’s too generic.

"This game is diddly darn stupid." /s

 

[Gyrom8]

I hear that people are hating on other people who want to main Joker if they've never played Persona 5. Like, should it really matter if you've played the game they're from or not? Shouldn't people be able to main who they want?

I personally prefer to play as characters from series I'm familiar with (minus ROB), but I'm not going to begrudge anyone who wants to play as whoever they want: in fact, it could be a good gateway into the series

 

[Noipoi]

That's basically "YourMovieSucks"

Exactly!

It’s a series where I talk about games I love as of I hated them, and I need a name.

 

[Deleted member]

I see both points of view.

On one hand, when you are truly invested in a character, you feel a sense of attachment and camaraderie within your little community. Soon as someone who isn't a part of your group acts as excited as you are, there's a natural urge to remind them, "You don't like the character as much as I like the character."

On the other hand, is it really that hard to not be a **** on the internet? Let people like things. Be inclusive. Tell them everything awesome about the game they haven't played and maybe them maining this character will be the first step in making them a true fan of the series. Excluding them like a pack of high school girls benefits no one. Get over yourself.

you fake fans don't know how long I've been waiting for Piranha Plant. dont bandwagon on my boy only when you saw him playable

 

[Dr. James Rustles]

That's what I was told on Twitter. I don't know for sure 100% if it's really happening, but I wouldn't be surprised if it is

Well, I would advise not heeding anything you "hear" on Twitter. Many people on there are just hysterical, addled muckrakers looking for the next feather to make into a chicken.

Generic isn't the word I'd use to describe that name.

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

Well, if ya love but hate em' how about something like "I have a love-hate relationship with insert game title here"
Yeah I suck at naming

 

[Deleted member]

I feel you. I have a writing partner, and me and him have this Google doc where we write down ideas for future stories when we come up with them.

It's usually a summary consisting of 1-2 sentences about what the idea was.

So this is about how it's formatted.

Idea 1
Idea 2
Idea 3
etc.

The reason I tell you this, is because the doc is also almost 5 pages long.

5 pages of vague ideas is still good, any sort of place to organize your own ideas is good. Every small stone you put at a time is eventually gonna turn it all into a mountain, so keep building off those until you can stitch them together.

I basically focus a lot on building up that one "big project idea" that I'm sure many have though it mostly goes in my head.
For now, I have a basic list of my character names separated into what allegiance they belong to(main cast, supporting cast, minor characters, antagonist group A, antagonist group B, etc) though I'm hoping to expand it onto small biographies and defining characteristics so I can have a clearer picture of all of them.
I also have an outdated basic plot structure(basically each arc and what happens in them in broad terms) that I should probably update someday.

 

[Deleted member]

This Joler stuff sounds like a complete nontroversy to me. 3 people attacking others does not make it some big deal, even if it still ain’t great.

 

[Kuon]

Honestly, dunno why people get like this. Considering the amount of characters in the game, I would find it difficult to find anyone who has played every franchise represented. Especially considering a few of the franchises represented are quite niche in general.

Plus if you're interested in the character, you might be interested in playing the games. I can guarantee you that when I first played with Ness and Cpt Falcon back on the OG Smash before even knowing their games.

Yeah, same here. I didn't know who Capt Falcon and Ness were when I first played Smash 64

 

[Pyra]

Non-survival horror game that has no screamers in it cause cheap horror is crap horror imo

Instead it relies on ambiance and uncertainty.

Welcome to the world of a teenagers bedroom that hasn’t been cleaned in 7 months

 

[Noipoi]

Well, if ya love but hate em' how about something like "I have a love-hate relationship with insert game title here"

No no, I’m describing their good features as if they’re bad.

“Donkey Kong Country’s has tight platforming. What kinda ****ty game has tight platforming? This game is ass!”

 

[Pyra]

Platforming adventure game with fast controls and super powers intended on giving players more of an adrenaline rush and a sense of urgency rather than a complete story

 

[Guh-Huzzah!]

No no, I’m describing their good features as if they’re bad.

“Donkey Kong Country’s has tight platforming. What kinda ****ty game has tight platforming? This game is ***!”

Ohhhhhh I see my bad. Hmm...

"Why insert game title's creative decisions suck"
Once again I suck at naming

 

[Z25]

This makes me think of the writing I started about mythology.

I know people like @Opossum and Z25 liked the ideas, but I don't know if others would.

BTW you two, I'm starting over, with an actual script this time.

Oh this is the ultimate social lol.

But I was wondering on the status of this, I'm interested in seeing what you have to say when ready.

Also since I'm here.

Joker's model is sick, and has anything been datamined? Twitter locked me out of my account.

 

[PolarPanda]

I've wanted to say this for a while so I might as well take the chance.

PolarPanda , while I was initially very opposed to you and Blog Theory, after all of that I can say you're a cool person. I'm sorry for being so cynical to you, and I'd like to say that I really appreciate your contributions to the fanbase.

Thank you, you're awesome

 

[staindgrey]

Exactly!

It’s a series where I talk about games I love as of I hated them, and I need a name.

Finding a catchy name is the hardest part.

Speaking of, eventually I'm gonna need to commission you again for our "Movie Night Mondays" videos.

 

[Pyra]

An idle mobile game

[Zinith]

Btw Noipoi when are you gonna continue the story?

Nice, I’ll have to set up my computer soon.

Btw Noipoi when are you gonna continue the story?

Just moved, once everything is set up it’ll continue.

 

[Pyra]

I also think it would be fun to play around with an idea for a visual novel that is reminiscent of Danganronpa.

Captures the same feelings that I had when playing.

 

[staindgrey]

Nice, I’ll have to set up my computer soon.

Just so you know, we haven't recorded anything for them yet. But we have a list of movies we'll be doing.

When we get there, I'll let you know.

 

[Pyra]

hang on i think we’re onto something here

money is money and microtransactions are wallet magnets

Hear me out here, Heavy Rain 2. All gameplay is removed. Goodnight.

 

[Hinata]

No no, I’m describing their good features as if they’re bad.

“Donkey Kong Country’s has tight platforming. What kinda ****ty game has tight platforming? This game is ***!”

In that case, you must also do the inverse, find really ****in' awful games, and review them as if they're the second coming of Christ.

I hate when video games try to get in the way of my movies anyway

That’s the plan!

The gameplay was like the best part of Heavy Rain, though

 

[Pyra]

I would go back to my YouTube channel but I burnt myself out really really hard. It stopped being fun to play games after a while.

I so desperately want to be able to draw, make music, and make videos (despite it all)... I can program but that’s about it, and motivation is a huge issue for me

So i tend to just snowball ideas in my own head forever and get overwhelmed

 

[Gyrom8]

I mean there's an entire parody account here dedicated to quirky game ideas so go nuts

[PsySmasher]

All right , time to go see what gaming news is on YouTu...

*Sees like 10 new 30 minute long Anthem videos*

Oh boy...

Time to get comfy.

 

[staindgrey]

I kinda want to make game analysis videos of some sort, but those are a dime a dozen. Everyone wants to do that.

But like, something like Sequelitis, only a bit more condensed and focused. A real, in-depth analysis of gameplay and how it enhances or detracts from the total experience.

If nothing else, one day I will finally make my video about Dragon Age II. I have so many things to say about that game.

[Wademan94]

“Press Y to Criticize”?
“Press A to Rant”?

That would be cool.
I tend to have a lot of thoughts on game design as well, though no formal reading up on it or anything. Mostly just opinions I’ve formed over time.

I’ve almost wanted to start like a news site or something about games to try to beat out some of the others but eh
