I played Oblivion but didn't like it, so i guess i won't like Skyrim.

You are an idiot, no offense.

Unless you've played the game previously and liked it or you need the game immediately for whatever reason (like tourneys or something), then you always RENT and ask for opinions before buying games.  Preordering and all that crap is not worth it most of the time.

If I were you, just trade it in now, get at least half your $$$ back if you're lucky, and go gorge yourself at Subway or something to calm yourself.

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on November 15, 2011, 12:48:07 AM
Idk.  He gets to have a lot of hands on time with games before they come out which I assume is nice, but he also has to truck everywhere and crap.  If you noticed during Ultimate Norcal vs. Capcom 2, he left early because he was that dead tired due to work.

On top of that, he can't be as truthful as he would normally.  Like he tries, but he can't slam something Capcom's doing even if it's bad for obvious reasons.

He's also the one that's out there the most so he has to take the brunt of the complaints and hell people will tend to give Capcom.  He's probably thankful for Max doing his thing because now SKill didn't have to do as much character explanation after reveals.

Such is the life of a PR guy.

Yeah, it always helps to have a scapegoat if you're a company (though Activision with all their hate...for some reason doesn't really have one).

Unfortunately for SKill...he seems to be that guy.  Guys, imagine if we were SKill and had to say only nice things about SFxT.

Honestly, I don't even taste the mayo that much since the Ranch tends to override it, but it does make for a creamier product.

And while I do like peppers, I tend to eat Subway at school since there's one inside and when there's too many disjointed things inside a sandwich, it's a pain in the ass to eat and clean up.  It's why I don't do meatball subs there either.

i do them when ever i can just so i wont have to do it later just hope im not at the ass end of the line this time shit was fucking horrible at the release for skyrim and mw3
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:I cant think of a good title name editon
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on November 15, 2011, 03:53:28 AM
Well when I do midnight releases, I do them at this shop we got about 20 minutes out from my house.  Real chill, it's decently sized (gamestop in my city is in a mall, you know how that shit goes down), and they let you rent and the dudes who work there are real chill and ACTUALLY KNOW SHIT ABOUT GAMES.

Good memory was when I was there for the MW2 Midnight Release (that's the only CoD Midnight Release I've done) and for everyone who was there, if you bought the normal edition, they gave you the Hardened Edition free which was extremely nice (if I remember correctly, they overstocked on them so that's why).  Unfortunately I ended up leaving my MW2 at my half-brother's house which was like hours away and I had no ride, didn't get it back until like 6 months later.  So I avoided most of the BS in that game :D.

But yeah, they're real chill there, and I wish I could work up there.  They do lines up there too, but they let you up there early depending on the game and let you play the game in question until midnight.  They also do a Madden Tourney every year and the winner walks out with a free copy, and then discounts down the line for the other finishers.

But yeah, unfortunately since I have no car, I have to wake up THREE hours earlier to catch the bus, transfer to another one to get to the mall, get my UMvC3 copy among other things, wait an hour for the bus to come back and then wait another hour for my class to start.

The Alternative is to take the bus at the same time but instead of waiting for the bus afterwards I would WALK to the mall which is like...30-40 minutes walking, and half of it is on a freaking main road with no sidewalk.

Yeah well I have to work on my transportation situation fast, like really fast.  Hope someone lets me borrow their car for NEC or it looks like I'm taking the bus which I REALLY don't want to do.

And my Gamestop isn't incompetent or anything...but they aren't anything special either.  I'm just thankful I never got a Gamestop horror story.

The closest Bethesda game i played was only Fallout 3, and if the Skyrim is like it (minus the guns and post-nuclear war shenanigans) i can simply say: it's because is a good game/series.

Although i agree, people overreact about the game, and not only Skyrim, but with every big-hyped game too.

Well i got around 30 hours of FO3, got bored and left it like halfway the main plot because i spent all that time doing side-jobs and other stuff. That's why i'm not too fond of sandbox or free-roam games like Fallout or The Elder Scrolls, they are just "too much" for me.

Well people really like being able to run around a big open world and kill people a la GTA and if you like being able to run around doing wahatever you want/killing whoever you want and also like old school PC/western style RPG's then Skyrim kind of seems like the perfect combination of these elements.

Also the sense of discovery when they find things as Gamepro's Jason Wilson opens his review with this quote
"Wonder has always been at the heart of The Elder Scrolls. The wonder of discovering what sits on a mountain’s peak. The wonder of plunging into a cave hiding in the rock. The wonder of learning more about what’s now one of the oldest worlds in gaming. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim delivers on this wonder better than any game in the series".

In other news, let's talk about Comeback Mechanics.

People thought Ultras were bad.

People thought X-Factor Level 3 was douchey.

People loathed the thought of Dark Phoenix and Dark Wesker.

But they ALL pale in comparison to the dominance that is DARK TEBOW.

By day and the first 3 Quarters, Mild Mannered Tim Tebow is just a very religious QB...who takes 3 days to throw the ball only to miss his receivers by 10 yards.

By the 4th Quarter, in the presence of evil, when all hope is lost, and his team needs him the most, he loses control and DARK TEBOW RISES!!!!  No defender can stop him, all throws hit their mark, all tackles fail, this Son of God becomes an unstoppable force of nature.  Might as well play Cornered and the Guile Theme at the same time while he's on the field.

Well with the 3DS flopping hard it seems, and the Vita honestly trying to be more towards a console, handheld gaming was going down anyway.

I think this kind of rebirth is a very good thing if done properly.

Also, yeah, Bioware's stupid, hopefully they don't make any more Mass Effects after 3 so I don't have to get any more of their games.

It was expected.  It's the only FG the general public know exist other than SF, which wasn't nominated this year (guess AE wasn't enough for it to count as a new game).  Hell, it was so think than KOFXIII was nominated before it was even released over here.  It probably would've been a bigger fix if MK didn't win.

Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Five dorra foot rong editon
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on December 11, 2011, 07:10:51 AM
Yeah, idk, other than a few, especially MGR, I was let down by the trailers this year.  A lot of them left a "Been There, Done That" kind of feel.

The Last of Us...felt a lot like I Am Legend, only with more humans alive, and what almost looked like Ellen Page.  Hell this whole "Infection Apocalypse" has been done so much right now, it's really gonna have to bring SOMETHING to pull me in.  Dead Island pulled me around at the 11th hour with gameplay footage literally a month before release.  I'll see if The Last of Us can do it too.

Fortnite, same deal, though obviously on the more cartoony of the spectrum, but I still felt like...yeah, you know, we've been here.  Seems like it will be more towards the Tower Defense side of gameplay though, which I'm not a great fan of to begin with so...yeah.

Bioshock: Infinite just felt like whatever.

Mass Effect 3's was fine but...idk, it's not much of a different feel than the trailer we got a year ago where we already know the Earth's going to Hell.

It was just...meh in terms of trailers.  MGR saved my night though.  And I know people are gonna get EXTREMELY salty over it because it's not what MGS is supposed to be...but my answer to it is what the hell did you expect?  One, it's not even called MGS, they took the Solid straight out of it.  Two, Konami has been saying straight up since the game was announced that this shit was not gonna be like the MGS we know, hell they called it Lightning Bolt Action for a reason.  Add to the fact people are bitching that it isn't like the demo from a while ago, that demo wasn't even like MGS, it was still slashing shit up, this is just flashier and more focused.

For WHAT Konami obviously wanted MGR to be, going to Platinum Games was the best decision they could've made after the success of Bayonetta.  Add to the fact that people are EXTREMELY annoyed about DmC, and you know those on that edge will come straight to this game, adding to its numbers.

Also, what more could they even do with MGS at this point?  Like seriously, the story for the most part is wrapped up, we're just getting the blind spot of what happened to Raiden post-MGS2.  With Peace Walker out, idk if there's many more blind spots they could open up within the mythology from MGS3-MGS4.

I for one am happy for what they want to do.  Only way I'd be mad at this switch is if they tried to call this out as an actual MGS5, THEN I'd have a problem.  But for a spinoff?  Whatever, I mean, I don't remember that much bitching over Metal Gear Acid.

For WHAT Konami obviously wanted MGR to be, going to Platinum Games was the best decision they could've made after the success of Bayonetta.  Add to the fact that people are EXTREMELY annoyed about DmC, and you know those on that edge will come straight to this game, adding to its numbers.

Also, what more could they even do with MGS at this point?  Like seriously, the story for the most part is wrapped up, we're just getting the blind spot of what happened to Raiden post-MGS2.  With Peace Walker out, idk if there's many more blind spots they could open up within the mythology from MGS3-MGS4.

I for one am happy for what they want to do.  Only way I'd be mad at this switch is if they tried to call this out as an actual MGS5, THEN I'd have a problem.  But for a spinoff?  Whatever, I mean, I don't remember that much bitching over Metal Gear Acid.
actually they switched the MGSR story to after mgs4 now  http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/11/metal-gear-risings-story-revised-now-set-post-mgs4/ (http://www.joystiq.com/2011/12/11/metal-gear-risings-story-revised-now-set-post-mgs4/)

It looks good, but i will judge a bit more when i see more videos or details.
The good thing IMO is that they took the "Solid" in the name.

Still, the salt levels are at an all time high, kinda figures that it involves Raiden.

Raiden is a pretty cool guy, not my favourite but not bad enough to ruin a game (MGS2) for me.
Now if only Capcom made Platinum to develop DmC, like Konami did.

Well Capcom's gonna learn that lesson the hard way when DmC massively flops and MGR kills it.  You know they shit in their pants when they saw the MGR trailers...they know they done fucked up.

Actually, I think the opposite.  If it weren't for the fact that they're trying to push this shit out as a DMC game, no one would give a shit about the game at all...again, bad press is still press.  Either way though, Jack the Ripper is gonna show Dante In Name Only how to get this shit done right.

Thank God i never played a single DMC game, nor i'm interested in playing any.

But what i get from people's salt is the design is "too emo" or "too much like that guy from Twilight"

Anyways, QTE: The Game Asura's Wrath and RE: Operation Raccoon City are getting my interests from Capcom in the next months.

Anyways, QTE: The Game Asura's Wrath and RE: Operation Raccoon City are getting my interests from Capcom in the next months.

My problem is a couple fold.  First, what was Dante's design problem in the first place?

Secondly, why are they trying to pass off random platforming elements that aren't very good it seems?

But the thing is, all the gameplay elements that made things like DMC3 so great are dumbed down or possibly absent within this game.  People could tolerate Dante's design changes or whatever if it meant a better game than DMC3, but it seems like that's not what we're getting.  Ninja Theory's problem is they're not gameplay first focused.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Five dorra foot rong editon

just something i thought you guys should know the new dante looks exactly like the lead dev of DmC

(http://media.giantbomb.com/uploads/3/34626/1675720-tameem.jpg)

and to be honest operation raccoon city looks like complete ASS
and the devs of the game (slant six) have done nothing so far but made meh socom games on the psp and a extremely shitty one on the ps3 that took them almost 2 whole years to fix
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Five dorra foot rong editon
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on December 13, 2011, 05:42:44 AM
Yeah, I already knew about that and I hate Dante's Design, but I can always ignore that if the gameplay shines through...which isn't happening in DmC.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Five dorra foot rong editon
Post by: Delta on December 13, 2011, 06:52:27 AM
That's true about Ninja Theory's problem, it looks like they don't focus enough about gameplay.

The things i cherish the most about Heavenly Sword and Enslaved are not precisely the (lack of) amazing gameplay.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Five dorra foot rong editon

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on December 13, 2011, 07:31:43 AM
And this is why I can't wait for MGR.  Platinum Games are making it a point (and made this point to Kojima when getting the ability to finish the game) that gameplay comes first.  The story should not inhibit what you can put within the game your are making.

mmm, well, for some weird reason, here in chile we will had 3 different tournies with evo tickets for all the winners

(in total, 2 for umvc3, 2 for mk9 and 3 for AE)

The thing is that one of them, the most with the most hype, is already showing bad signs, since the tournament will be with single elimination on 2 days, with macros, and in the middle of an anime event

Nothing against otakus, but in a tourney those could be a bit annoying, but the first 2 signs worries me the most

Also, no chance on my to go there, since it will be in the north of the country, at 1000 miles, and I'm not good at any of said games, but lots of friends will go, but these conditions killed them a bit

Anime events with best competitive condition in Brazil? Only Portal Versus staff does, but only in São Paulo : /

Talking about Brazil, unfortunately I will not going to WP Cup in São Paulo, because I have I have to spend my money to buy a dual mod arcade stick and a Xbox 360 (I already have KOF XIII). At least I'll watch the stream and support the players.

So, you guys know those plans I had for my Christmas vacation that I posted a while back? Well, those plans have been completely shot due to the fact that many of the arcade cabinets I used to play on when I visited my family in Mexico are gone, and the ones left don't work very well.

Still enjoying my vacation so far. I got lots of money for Christmas (in Mexican pesos), so I have lots of cash to blow (and I'm spending some of it to use the Internet in a cybercafe :P).

I'm still getting my SNK fix, though. I've been playing Maximum Impact 1 with my cousins and it's a lot of fun, actually. Some people may hate that game and I can see why somewhat, but I have ended up loving it. Also, dat Mignon.

Hope you guys have been having a fun Christmas break!

Hell yea, I got Skyrim on PC. But the mods for the game are BS, and for some reason the game just isn't as fun as Oblivion & Morrowind for me. Oblivion has a ton of cool mods. From custom Houses to Mansions, Weapons, & etc. I get all my Elder Scrolls mods from TESNexus.com. 
yeah i get mine from the same place bethesda is supposed to be releasing the mod kit for skyrim sometime this month so except to see a lot of the mosds getting better i also need to go buy skyrim again i have it on ps3 and its playable but has a bunch of annoying things in it and i have a pirated copy of skyrim on my pc but i only got that cause i wanted to see how well it ran though the UI for skyrim feels wonky as hell on the pc

You know is true.

Lol well, I personally like both of them equally. I like the atmosphere of the first Fallout 3 more then New Vegas. I play the first one much more. I got this sick Megaton House Expansion Mod and a few other things for it.

However, yea I'm usually all about the Elder Scrolls when it comes to RPG's. Just because Elder Scrolls Morrowind was one of the first RPG's I took seriously way back then. But Fallout is still godlike, damn game is almost a modern day Oblivion with no magic but guns lol its a win. The first time I heard FO3 was coming out I was hella hype.

It's based on a novel, which contains a lot, lot of dialog, puns, word play and that stuff (Japanese required to understand most of it), and the show is heavy on dialog and may bore some people.

I only watch Cowboy Bebop too. That show is fucking perfection. I thought Samurai Champloo and Full Metal Alchemist (first series) was all right. I liked FLCL. I prefer old school anime like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Urotsukidoji.

Last weekend I bought Resident Evil 2 and 3 off PSN. Once you get used to the controls they hold up pretty well. I tried to make a memory card on my PS3 twice now and I played Leon A campaign and both times the game could not find the memory card. One playthrough was at about an hour before I quit because I was stuck. The other one was close to 3 hours and I was doing really well, got to play Ada, got the Magnum, and I go to the 2nd floor and a random Licker hit me 3 times when I was at full health and I died.

and the reason why im not gonna play kof for a while because the online is horrible and for the momment i felt like i payed 50 bucks for a traning mode with a few extras beating up a dummy is not gonna get me better at the game so of course the only way can is constantly telling to fuck off then proceeds to say bad things about my mother

i could never drop kof as a whole its pretty much the only fighting game i really enjoy playing and the really the only one i want to be more than just average at but im just and hope that snk will do something about this asstastic netcode they've been giving us before i eventually get annoyed enough to sell the game

You wouldn't see it.  Had to hear it.

It takes place 10 Years after the Raccoon City Incident (RCI was in 1998, 2 months after the Mansion incident, same year).  RE5 takes place 11 Years after the Mansion Incident.

Math wise, RCI was in 1998, and RE5 takes place in 2009.  If RE6 takes place 10 years after the RCI, that puts it a year before RE5.

Other things that leave it as a possibility, Chris is a lot less ripped yet still seemingly pissy and downtrodden.

I'd prefer it to be a sequel, especially considering a worldwide conflict going on, ending, then going into RE5 seems meh.  Especially since Sheva seemed shocked by the BOW's...which wouldn't happen if shit was going down worldwide.

Here's the good news for people that absolutely hate anything that happened to RE after 5 (which means they likely also disliked 4).  You can play the old games, which have great replay value, and pretend the new ones never existed.  That's the great thing about games against movies...most are meant to be played multiple times.

I love when people make this argument. Not only does it sound stupid, but it gets nowhere. I make these comments because I wouldn't mind giving them my money for a quality game, not to mention some of us don't care to replay games. Only sad people are stuck in the past (Retro gamers) How about this? Why don't they actually make a good game for once? I'm tired of them westernizing this series to shit. I barely even recognize RE anymore. What with blonde Jill, Roid Rage Chris, HARDENED BADASS Leon, punching boulders, lack of horror, more guns than an NRA convention?

At least Revelations is turning out pretty good. In the meantime there's a better series called Deadspace.

dead space while good a game isn't scary at all though it made me jump a few times

hell most horror games aren't scary today currently the only on i can think of is amnesia


i think horror games need more than just the setting to scare people it would be nice if the character would at least act scared i mean how many people here wouldn't be freaking the fuck out that something was trying rip you in half even if you do have a high powered laser cannon

also i would to see a horror game that takes place mostly during the day and no i dont mean like silent hill where everything is foggy either

Make all the comments you want, Capcom doesn't really listen to us (especially, you know, in a place I doubt anyone from Capcom would go).  I'm saying it's a waste of time trying to call shit out on them.  I see a game isn't up to par?  Whatever, I move on since there's plenty of other games to play. 

And like I said in the other thread, RE from the beginning was overrated tbqh.

Three different things down the tube for RE6 again.

The girl Leon's hanging out with is Government Agent Helena Harper.  After that, who knows?

The 3rd Protagonist still unknown but is related to a major RE character in some way (eliminates HUNK, Alex Wesker the most likely candidate).

The Blonde Girl with him is not Ashley Graham like most (including myself) thought.  It's actually Sherry Birkin.

It was mostly the voice that threw me off.  Sounded a lot like the Ashley VA from RE4.  Plus you know, since the President was around and she was his daughter, I figured she might play a role.

And like I said in the other thread, RE from the beginning was overrated tbqh.

Not complaining is a bad idea, that's like telling me to go back to the old KOFs after dealing with the atrocity of 12 or the same with SFIV. The fact is I'll play a better alternative anyway and they don't get my money until they wise up, plain and simple. If that were the case, we wouldn't need critics at all, we'd take the shit they'd shovel into our mouths.

I can still hold out hope because Revelations is actually, exactly what I want. It's actually tough, atmospheric, scary and doesn't have blonde Jill. Basically, SURVIVAL HORROR. So, so much for your point. I get what I want eventually, someway or another.

As for horror. It's tough to do horror because of the technology involved, it's hard to be scared with such high definition creatures and control schemes. Sometimes the scariest part is that it looked like shit and we were barely in control. I thought Deadspace did it well. Not on the actually jump scares, I thought the atmosphere was just what it needed to be, it did action better than RE5 did and the psychological aspect has kept me tied. I personally am invested as to how Isaac Clarke will turn out in the end because of how he was developed. That's more than I can say for the RE characters that Capcom always feels the need to jump the shark on every one of them to succeed.

EDIT: Where'd you get the whole idea that RE4 is getting the FFVII treatment? That comparison is ill-advised and since when did people treat it as a bad game?

You'd be surprised on the RE4 front.  I was too, I figured everyone liked it, but there seems to be plenty of people who say RE4 ruined the franchise.

I'm just saying complaining's a waste of time.  Honestly, I would've said to go back to the old KOF's anyway, because you know, they're actually good and have decent netplay thanks to GGPO and I honestly didn't expect SNKP to actually make any KOF's after that abomination.

And horror isn't about the control schemes and HD or whatever (well the control schemes deal with it a little).  Scare factor is directly proportional to threat level.  When you perceive something as a big threat upon your livelihood, it's human nature to become scared, especially if you can't see where said threat is.  The only way to obtain a scare factor in a game is to find a way to immerse the gamer within the game.  Of course, immersion differs from person to person.  But as long as even a part of you is aware you're playing a game, it's very hard to become actually scared.  You may get a couple of startles or jumps developers need to put in the game, but as for actual dread level, it's tough.  I think creepiness is a different thing though, and the atmosphere at least needs to promote that. 

But let's be honest, you think I'm an asshole with no taste who defends everything and has absolutely no idea what he's talking about and needs to shut the hell up.  So it's best if I stop now since the only thing I'll be doing with my arguments, right or not (probably wrong tbqh) is annoy you more, and that's a waste of time.

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on January 21, 2012, 11:18:53 PM
Well it will, but I think that's just more natural than anything.  Also keep in mind, as we get older, we get scared less.  There was a time in my childhood I couldn't even play RE2 by myself because I was scared of just walking into the Police Station rooms or getting Lickered.  Now (whenever my PS2 actually decides to let my controllers work), it's not a big deal.  Things tend to be less scary as life goes on.

Also, the limitations of older games actually helped lend to some of the atmosphere, like the tank controls, crappy camera angles, and limited saves.  However none of the three are really acceptable in this day and age.  I mean, you shouldn't have problems controlling your characters, fixed camera angles are rarely a good thing, and limited save points are a pain in the ass not so much for the actual game, but then finding time to actually play.

The Save Thing I think can be fixed by something already used.  The Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories Save system.  Basically, you had your limited save points (though you'd actually create them, but that's not relevant to this point) which you'd get your normal save system.  HOWEVER, you'd also get a Quick Save where you could save at any time.  However, it'd automatically send you back to the main menu and would only let you continue that game and if you died or just normally quit out, you'd go back to the place of your actual save, not your quick save.  I think that system works.  Have actual save points that will help give consequences to losses and such, but have another system in place in case you need to bail in the middle of something.

But yeah, it's gonna be hard to sell the horror genre, just because we've seen it all at this point.

Post by: Proto Cloud on January 22, 2012, 02:01:03 AM

Honestly, here's a start. One of my biggest beefs is that they make too many characters walking tanks. Take for instance Sheva and Chris which are like a two person army of death. It takes away from the scares when it feels more like Contra than an RE game. Sure those are scary fellas, but I've enough bullets to kill all these bitches. It's alright to have an action based horror shooter, but I think that you'd have up the ante and make it so that the opposition is even more formidable, to the point of unstoppable, would be the only way.

Actually, the scariest stuff are games like Clocktower and Amnesia where you can't really fight back.

Some other suggestions would be in-game system which would make you lose control on purpose, sort of like what Amnesia did on having a psych meter that dictates how much sanity you have left and makes it harder on you, maybe even making you have worse control over your character.

But yeah, I can relate to you on RE2. It was a definite masterpiece of its time and I was quite scared of it as a kid, but I eventually gained the courage to play quite a bit and was engrossed quite well into it. It's sad because it's part of a bygone era and in a way I can understand where some people are hating on RE4 because it really wasn't scary at all, but at the same time, there's really no way you can say it's a bad game because it's really damn good at everything else and was made at a time when the series was getting stale and needed a good reboot.

I dunno. I just don't appreciate this pandering to the western audience by making RE more like Call of Duty just because they know that zombies are back in style and that now just about ANYTHING with zombies will sell like hotcakes. So, why not emulate the most popular game of all time? I mean, they're even making Operation Racoon City into a tactical shooter made by the guys that gave you the shitty SOCOM games.

And that's kind of why I scoff at the people who thinks RE should always relate to zombies.  RE was never really about zombies as a whole.  If anything, not using zombies in RE now would seem more courageous than anything with these new Zombie-infested times.  Sometimes I do respect developers sticking to their guns when we keep trying to denounce one of their decisions.  It's when they quickly cop out or pull back is when I'm annoyed.  If you're gonna make a decision on a game or franchise, it helps to actually be convicted in said decision, which is why DmC is turning even worse than usual.  While I hated everything about the changes they did, what annoyed me more is they almost immediately started changing things up and their stances and everything when met with backlash.  It just shows the decision was not well thought out whatsoever.  I don't mind steadfast decisions, at least if goes wrong they can say "Okay, we thought it would work, we tried it, it didn't, now we know moving forward".

That's also why I don't mind some of Capcom's decisions on RE.  Revelations does show that they indeed still know how to deliver on Survival Horror, and yet the other games show they're not unwilling to take risks.  They could've easily balked once people started getting annoyed by the whole co-op thing in RE5, but they stuck to their guns.  While it probably didn't go as well as they hoped, they can write it down and refine that experience while adding the other experiences older fans can appreciate, which is why I look forward to RE6.  It seems to maintain the Survival Horror aspect in Leon's Campaign, a more tightly focused..."Gears" Style in Chris's campaign, and then what seems to be a whole new style in the new Protagonist.  And it works, especially in comparison to the two main leads and their styles.

Look at Leon's 2 Main games.  RE2 and 4.  In 2 he was unwillingly dropped in hell and for the most part, just wanted to escape with Claire, Sherry and Ada (though Ada being Ada, did as much harm as good).  In RE4 he just wanted to infiltrate, quickly rescue Ashley, and get the hell out of dodge really.  Whereas Chris in his 3 Main Games, RE1, RECV, and RE5, has gone into a hot zone basically on request.  RE1, with the Stars group to help out his allies and uncover the secrets going on within.  RECV, he went in to rescue Claire and upon discovering Wesker, decided to kick a little ass too.  RE5...don't think I even need to say it.  It's why their styles make sense.  Chris is always going into the danger, trying to take everything out, while Leon's only thoughts is survival of him and his friends.

Uh... what are you talking about? I didn't say anything about whether should have zombies or not. ORC also has zombies. I don't get your point here. It's just a tactical shooter with zombies and I couldn't be less enthused about it.

As for DMC, it's VERY different. It doesn't have zombies, it has Dante. That's like having an RE title WITHOUT zombies now. The problem with Capcom here is that they just don't get what people like about Devil May Cry. It isn't about the "style" or "underground" or a "statement" or a "mature story". It's about about using a badass and going nuts in 60 FPS combo filled, strategic  hack n' slash heaven. The problem here is that the fans refute poor and ridiculous new directions in style as opposed to ResiEvil, because as long as it has zombies and action it's a-okay on most everyone's book. On the other hand though, most of these problems might have been solved if they didn't act like jackasses and offend the fans like they did and insult their intelligence. They could've instead said, "just give us a chance" and it would've probably worked better than it did.

As for the direction of RE. I can respect that Capcom wants to make money and all that jazz. The fact is I don't like how they're taking the direction so far gone to westernization. Which, actually, besides Resident Evil hasn't worked out all that well for Capcom. (Let's remember Bionic Commando, Dark Void and Lost Planet 2 being some the failures in their attempts at westernizing their games and we have yet to see how Dragon's Dogma and DmC will fare.)

Basically, I really believe that RE4 did it right the first time and only needed control improvements and some actual scares. I don't like having a sequel that throws everything and the kitchen sink away. Sure Chris is supposed to be an action hero, but by making him a comic book superhero in his game, it makes the whole game looks even more ridiculous than it should. Add the fact that Jill is turned into a super ninja, you've got a cliched as fuck villain like Wesker, racism, more guns than you need and most of this taking place in daylight. It takes away the whole human aspect and b-movie aspect and makes it instead like a superhero movie directed by Michael Bay instead.

I don't know how to point this out, but RE5 is like the Metal Gear Solid 4 of the series. To me it's a shit-stain on the series that did well, but I'd much rather forget about it altogether.

Like I said before, I'm holding out hope that Revelations is the RE4 sequel that I always wanted and gives me comfort that Capcom still cares about the rest of us.

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on January 22, 2012, 08:03:00 AM
I know you didn't mention it, it was a tangent related to a discussion with my friends about it from the other day.  It was on my mind, so I ranted.

And I know DmC has a ton of problems, hence when I said I hated all of them.  Plus NT's and IGN's responses for that matter, are completely insulting it pisses me off extremely.  I'm just saying, while that looks bad, it looks worse when you do that and then balk at your idea almost immediately, it makes it seem very crappily thought out.  It bothers me more because...well, they're exactly like me.  I get angry easily, and want to defend my idea to the death, then I look back almost immediately and see that my idea was probably stupid, so I double back and make an even bigger ass of myself rather than if I just stuck by it at least having some conviction.

And I think Capcom's departure from RE4 was I guess for Westernization, but I also take it as fear.  Remember, Capcom is a company that has gotten in plenty of holes in the past for sticking too firmly to one formula within their series.  It would not surprise me if that was in the back of their mind when moving forward.

As for the MGS comparison, honestly, if you get right down to it, I don't think MGS should've ever went further than MGS1, or if they did, they should've done more standalone entries than anything.  One thing I've learned is that trying to stick to a cohesive story for so long only starts causing more problems than anything down the road.  Look at any series that has a continual story further than 3 games or even movies.  I can't think of one that's going marginally well (remember, MGS was the third game in the series).

Your hope holds well, from what I hear Revelations is great like you would want, though I've seen it also seems to have the same exact departures almost that RE6 will have, only instead of just being separate stories outright, they interject within the story, how much of a departure they are I don't know yet, but I guess we'll see soon.

But honestly, it would probably be best for the series to be done after RE6 and just discontinue the series or reboot it.  There's nothing really to gain other than money from moving forward, and if they really feel the need to, they could reboot it and start fresh with new ideas.  But at the very least, unless some of their OTHER divisions, at least they take 3+ years to make these games and don't just push them out like clockwork.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Super Off Topic Thread AE 2012 Plus Alpha edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on January 22, 2012, 07:59:31 PM
Yeah, with DmC, if they'd shut their mouths and let their game talk, it would've worked out better than it did. Sure, many players, myself included, wouldn't be caught dead playing this, but at least some would give it a chance. I also don't really understand the need to reboot the series already. I know that DMC4 was pretty lackluster, but the series isn't really story oriented and I don't think the series was showing it's age yet.

My problem with veering off course from RE4, is that RE4 itself was already a departure from what they did before and was very well received after coming after a bunch of previous failures. I understand that they feared being behind, but they hadn't done much of anything with their franchise after 4 to warrant a reboot. I see a preconceived notion that if they didn't follow in the ever growing popularity of shooters they'll never get a foothold again in the west. Which is pretty simple to see with the inclusion of co-op, more gunplay and the most forced multiplayer versus ever. I'd completely understand if they had a next-gen RE failure and resorted to this, but they never really even tried and that's where my complaints with the series jumping the shark like it did come from.

I think that MGS still had juice to it and still does. Yeah, as smart and ahead of its time the story of MGS2, it kinda ruined the series forever, but then there was MGS3, so I disagree in the end. I do however believe like I said earlier a reboot with a new universe and characters, because like you said, a long cohesive story isn't really a good idea and eventually you'll find a way to ruin it. (Like Star Wars)

There's no way they're discountinuing RE any time soon. Zombies as far as they've been around always have and always will be popular and right now they're hot as ever. Unless, they really destroy their brand, it's still their biggest money maker and their usual fallback plan for a while now. But I really do hope they reboot it completely. This whole timeline is just tired and I'm tired of seeing all the same characters over and over.

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on January 22, 2012, 10:05:21 PM
The thing about MGS3 though is that...it felt more stand alone than anything.  Yes, it had Big Boss, and Ocelot, and was a prequel and all of that.  But I never felt any obligation to connect MGS3 to the rest of the series.  I think that's why Final Fantasy worked as well as long as it did.  But eventually, even it got forced down a road where everyone wants a certain FF game to be, and that hurt big time. 

I think...once people see you in a certain way, or see what you do, it hurts more than helps.  Because then you feel obligated to continue on that road, rather than be inspired.

The more I think about it the more appealing a Resident Evil 2 remake is. Just give it RE4 controls and inventory system... maybe even include the pedophile who sells you weapons again. Revamp the bosses, zombies, and liquors. And make the police station twice as big with new and more realistic puzzles and Bam! Easy million seller.

But I think that's too obvious for Capcom to get right... Like an arcade perfect port of 3rd Strike.

Wasn't the last Dino Crisis games without Regina? And with Dinosaurs in space or something like that?

Oh man, don't get me started on DC3... All I'ma say is the platforming aspect was set up to make you die continuously... Imagine trying to jump from one platform to the next (with the camera behind you), and then outta nowhere, the camera changes from behind you to in front of you mid jump!!! You can't keep holding forward, because it makes you go backwards, and you can't just jump and let go of the direction, because you'll just stop and fall...

That was just one of the many issues of that game... Ugh... Damn you Capcom...

As much as I'd like a new JGR, I'm almost afraid as to what it might be... I'm sure half the songs will be showered in auto-tune and heartless pop songs...

Sega's got alot of games they could release from back in the day, like a better version of Altered Beast, Golden Axe (with multiplayer), Shinobi, Hang-on/Astro Warrior, Columns, Space Harrier Kinect (that would be mad ill!!!), Three Dirty Dwarves, SoR (please!!!), etc... I could go on and on, as I'm sure you cats could, too...

Don't worry, we'll get AA5.  It's a main series title, and Nick's now got exposure in UMvC3 on top of getting a movie which is getting a worldwide release (somehow).  It seems AA and RE are the only anniversaries Capcom actually gives a damn about.

If it makes you feel better, you'll end up saying lots of things that will compel you to say "That's what she said" while you move your stuff.

Examples:

"Why does this have to be so big?"
"Man, all this activity is tiring me out!"
And my personal favorite: "Hold on, let me position myself."

ok so im gonna rant for a bit so feel free to ignore me if need be, so im honestly done with KoF XIII i had to sit a whole year waiting to play this game was going to put in a immense about of time learning to play this game was glad that they were actually gonna to listen to people concerning the netcode  i was even willing to drop the fact that there were going to have two people per lobby since the wanted the best netcode there could be. of course the release date came and i was sorely disappointed again netcode was more or less just like XII's and it didn't sit well with me that they cut out the lobby system for this "new and improved" netcode had to sit and wait about 3 months for the patch that was supposed to fix most of the problems just to find out that it didn't do much of anything else either sure im seeing a lot more 3 bars and the occasional 4 bars but that doesn't help me none when the 3 bars play like pre-patch 2 bars or 1 bars i always hear people giving the excuse to stop using wireless even though every other fighting game i play i have next to no problems running wireless and getting a good connection with people. I love KoF and i always will love KoF but honestly at this point i feel like ive wasted 50 dollars on this i cant play this game with hardly anyone with out them or me having a problem it's getting hard to find anyone to play with and these days nobody wants to play a fighting game by themselves ive had to sit through 98um,XII,02um and now XIII dealing with these same god damn problems and nobody should make this many mistakes before they get their shit together. until further notice im think im just going to have to be a naysayer because i dont have enough time patience or money to keep buying at home training kits

Sad part is that it's more than you can say about almost every other netcode on the market right now for consoles.  Blazblue is the only other game (and SCV if what people are saying is true, and I have no reason to doubt them at the moment) that has decent netcode on consoles, and they had to build the entire game around a certain amount of input lag so it would work better online.

I'm just glad I have majors within 3 hours of me.

soul caliburs netcode is good but the only problem is the game will drop you pretty often and yeah i do agree the bb is the best out there(same could be said about every other game that arcsys has released lately) street fighter and umvc3 while still isn't the best i dont have anyway near as many problems as KoF

honestly i can play this game with anyone so there is no possible way i can get better and im tired of getting dick slapped by lag so im not gonna try anymore

Maybe Capcom realized the game wasn't that good...it would explain a bit why they're putting the RE6 Demo in Dragon's Dogma rather than...you know...something in the actual series.

If it wasn't before...think it's a safe bet to ignore the game now.  Sorry Leon, I'll catch you in November.

he's one of those hipster kids who hates stuff just because it's cool then buys said hated products when nobody is looking

I've always had a love/hate relationship with Capcom. Ain't anything new for me or anyone else. Just because I hate SFIV, them shitting on Megaman, and being bad businessmen in general doesn't mean I'm not going to buy from them when they actually release something good for a change.

On that note, I'm not being hypocritical, because I'm still not buying SFxTK, RE6 or ORC. They're going to be shit and like RE5, I'll simply refuse to buy it. Plain and simple.

Two things.  One, it's Saitsu.  Two, I was joking with you.  If a game is good a game is good, it doesn't matter for shit what company it comes from.  I've seen too many people refuse to buy a game JUST because a certain company made it and I always found it a shitty way to do something.

Also, I wouldn't write off RE6 yet, if only because we're actually gonna get demos of it so it's easier to judge it before release.

Well somehow he's been shown to be alive.  I don't know how, I'm assuming they'll explain that to us.

Considering how Clone Wars has a very good track record, I'll give them a chance to somehow explain this one to us, but I have the George Lucas Beatdown Bat at the ready.  Always have it nearby for when he decides to retcon stupid shit.

I wonder if Maul is as free to Force Lightning as Savage Oppress is.

It's up to you and your tastes.  MK9 would be the cheapest on that list if that's a worry for you.  Me personally, I always make it a priority to get a non-FG every once in a while so I don't completely burn out (not too many though, otherwise when I do get back into the FG swing of things, I end up backlogged...like I am now >_<).

Really?  I hear just as many hating on Xenogears as well.  Haven't played or seen much of it, so I'm indifferent as well.

As for you know what coming back...just reminds me how I miss my Dreamcast.

And lastly...why does Greg Weisman keep getting screwed?  Gargoyles, gone before its time.  Spectacular Spider-Man, ROBBED of more season...REALLY gone before its time.  Young Justice...can't get a decent premiere schedule to save its life.  So much greatness coming from this man...and he keeps getting screwed.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Super Off Topic Thread AE 2012 Plus Alpha edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on February 24, 2012, 12:03:05 AM
^^ Young Justice gone? Wow. That's a shame, it was surprisingly real good.

The reason why I say Xenogears is bad the following:

- the sprites look terrible even by Playstation standards and they scale horribly. Games like Persona 2 and Breath of Fire 3 look a lot better.
- It has TERRIBLE usage of religious iconography and references.
- It's plot is horribly convoluted, poorly paced and left me guessing as to what it was trying to say in the end. (I honestly didn't even know if it was a proper criticism of organized religion, making distinctions between a real and perceived God or just a straight up "Fuck you" to western religion)
- Citan Uzuki is probably the biggest troll asshole ever to grace an RPG.
- The game is piss easy and the combat is repetitive as fuck. Also most of the spells in the game are USELESS except for VERY SPECIFIC fights.
- The game takes a HUMONGOUS nosedive in quality by the second disc, most scenes are rushed and most of the events are told through only text trying to fill you in on what's going on, whisking you away from small event to small event. Making me think that this game ran out of budget by this point.
- It is not uncommon to go for about 10 hours without seeing the world map.
- Text that goes on for hours on end with only small breaks for an easy 2 minute boss battle. (Let me point out that this is indeed WORSE than MGS4 and Xenosaga COMBINED)
- Writing that will make you want to throw up.
- Shoehorning in a Voltron reference and having a little girl and an oversized stuffed animal save the day.
- Rips off Neon Genesis Evangelion in so many ways.
- The director had the audacity to proclaim the game is "Episode V" at the end of the game.
- Probably some of the worst dungeons ever made in RPG history, featuring poorly made puzzles and forced platforming with clunky controls.

I hate this game, but on the other hand, it was a learning experience for me and I actually feel bad about this game, because most of the staff had to be shifted over to FFVIII. Makes me wonder what would've been if the game was given a bigger budget...

Young Justice isn't gone, it's still around.  I'm saying that the schedule keeps getting fucked with.  Keep in mind the premiere of Season 1 debuted in January...of 2011.  We still have 8 episodes to go.  The reason I bring it up is because it just seems like destiny to have execs fuck over Weisman for whatever reason.  It makes no sense, especially considering, he's an INSANELY nice person.  He talks to the fans, good with the cast.  Hell, even with the whole Goliath Chronicles debacle which he had to say everything other than the 1st episode wasn't canon, he still gives shoutouts to it to honor those who put a lot of work into it.

I haven't kept up with it for that reason. I thought it was canned. But then again, it's not like network execs really give a shit about their cartoons. Ironic enough for "Cartoon Network". God knows how many shows got their rugs slipped under them.

RIP Reboot

Not as many as you'd think, but yeah.  But I think CN will keep YJ around for the reason that they need a DC block to compete with Disney's Marvel Block.  Though you never know...Symbionic Titan got screwed so...anything is fair game at this point.

And I need to catch up on Reboot...my memory is so shaky.

Tenchi Muyo heh? I've been tempted to watch that, i know there are a lot of "seasons", series, spin-off or whatever they are called in the anime business. But i don't know if the series aged that well, being from mid '90s and all that.

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on February 24, 2012, 06:47:57 AM
I watched it.  It's not bad...but there are 3 different continuities basically.  The OVA's, Tenchi Universe and Tenchi in Tokyo.  The OVA's tend to go more towards action a bit but it likes to hax a lot in the process.  I guess technically Tokyo can be a sequel to Universe but there are a bunch of things that would change and make no sense if that were the case.  I think the only thing that stays the same in all 3 continuities is that Tenchi is of Juraian descent.

I'm pretty sure Tenchi in Tokyo was part of the normal continuation, it's just that most people want to forget it because it's ass.

Anyways, back to Xenogears.

http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation/xenogears (http://www.metacritic.com/game/playstation/xenogears)

Honestly, I can't see how this got such glowing praise from the press for such an unfinished game...

Until I saw one of this gem from Gamespot,

Quote
"Xenogears' reliance on story, subtlety, and mood make it Square's most anime-like RPG thus far, in many ways making the game one of its best."

Translated means: This game is great because anime. l(@_@)l Q(-_-Q) t(-_-t)

Were we really that obsessed over anime in the late 90s? Even the packaging of the game trumpets "20-minutes of hand-drawn anime." (Which is bullshit btw, it's like 5 most scenes being literally a few seconds long)

Alright I'm done now.

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on February 24, 2012, 10:18:41 PM
The Toonami thing was coincidence more than anything in this case.  It was most people's first gateway into anime, and the easiest way to get at it over here in the States without having to hit up the VHS tapes.  DBZ for the most part was Toonami's cornerstone, with Pokemon handling the Saturday Mornings.

personally, my favourite part about xenogears was saving the game right before every level up, and then resetting until I gained one that wasn't like +1 HP, +1 strength.  For every character.  For the entire game.

Proto, if it makes you feel any better, Game Pro gave Xenogears a very below average review.

I liked the combat system, and it was hard as hell managing the gear battles because you couldn't heal often as you wanted. That 2nd disc though... ugh. Why.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Super Off Topic Thread AE 2012 Plus Alpha edition

Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Super Off Topic Thread AE 2012 Plus Alpha edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on February 25, 2012, 01:41:29 AM
I saw that review, only one of the bunch that actually called the game out on its bullshit.

Combat system was pretty slick, but I liked Valkyrie Profile's better. It did more or less the same thing but without the whole grinding for deathblows and relying solely on Gears for the last third of the game. And playing Gears was pretty cool, but it felt like every battle was a race against time to prevent yourself from running out of fuel. Until the end, where you can coast with some really broken parts.

On the other hand, I thought Xenosaga ep.1 became everything that XGs should've. Then they fucked it up with 2.

@Satsu: It makes perfect sense, because at that time DBZ and Gundam were getting hella popular and some people already were watching Eva. And it's a poor combination of all of that.

By 1998 I'm pretty sure I saw plenty of G Gundam and Gundam Wing. As this game was targeted for adults, I wouldn't be surprised if older anime fans had access to Eva in some form or another. I know it aired on riskier channels.

And speaking of animes, have you guys heard of Asura's Wrath? Do they have it on Netflix yet?

I saw Eva around I'm sure, I'm just saying I never sat down and actually watched it.  Gundam Wing, I watched sporadically so I don't like to count it.

And I heard Asura's Wrath is indeed a damn good anime.  Never again will Playthroughs be so thoroughly watched.

Don't even think about it.  You shouldn't have to wait 4 months+ to achieve the full value of what you purchased, so the way I see it is, in your situation, SNKP has failed to meet the requirements in order for you to even consider keeping your game, get rid of it.

oh no im still gonna support this game and snk all i can but i personally cant get anything out of it unless i play this game with other people, im not a very social person so theres a high chance i will never find a offline group to play with or participate in any kind of tournaments so my only option is to play online but of course i cant do that now can i? i sold vanilla marvel because of this exact same reason (didn't sell mk cause my littler sister got it for me as a gift) so im not rage quiting or anything like that. everyone knows that you will never get good at a fighting game (or any competitive game) by just playing the computer and if there is no competition anywhere there isn't much left for you to do.


also i figure after about 5 times of having this happen with other games snk learn from there mistakes

Now if only Real Bout 2 and Kizuna Encounter would officially be added to GGPO than my fighting game hype would be forever complete.

For years I thought there was absolutely nothing in upstate NY, but after doing a little searching, I found a nice crowd about 40 minutes away from me. I've been doing what I can to get interest in KOFXIII, managed to get a few players into it, and one guy in particular loves KOF and outright says it's that XIII is the best fighting game of this generation.

The Last Airbender: The Legend of Korra - Exclusive Trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-1ftJQmyv5E#)

(http://www.nick.com/nick-assets/shows/images/korra/theme/masthead_korra.png?format=jpeg&matteColor=white)

Description:
Republic City is everything that Avatar Aang and Fire Lord Zuko fought for when they ended the Hundred Year War. With balance restored to the four nations, benders and non-benders can live together in peace, in this thriving metropolitan area. But even the steampunk paradise of Republic City has its problems, as the next Avatar discovers. When Avatar Korra arrives in Republic City to master her airbending, she comes face to face with criminal bending gangs as well as members of a vocal anti-bending revolution. Before long, Korra's Avatar skills are put to the test when she encounters a group of Chi-blockers led by the charismatic and mysterious Amon, who threatens the city and all the benders in it. Despite the immense danger, Korra vows to fight the growing anti-bending revolution. But will she be able to stop Amon before he rises to power and makes his vision of a bending-free world a reality?

Korra / Avatar:
(http://nick.mtvnimages.com/nick-assets/shows/images/korra/characters/character_thumb_310x175_korra.jpg)

Korra couldn't have less in common with Aang, the previous Avatar. A 17-year-old girl from the Southern Water Tribe, she is as hot-headed and eager as she is talented. When she runs away to Republic City, her stubbornness and impatience get in the way of her bending studies, but it is clear from the start that she is destined for greatness. Korra discovers many new things in Republic City - some amazing and some terrifying. Whether its honing her bending skills in the Pro-bending Arena, facing off with street thugs or facing an anti-bending rebellion, Korra learns that being the Avatar comes with many dangers and responsibilities. As if being a teenager wasn't hard enough on its own!

Mako / Firebender:
(http://nick.mtvnimages.com/nick-assets/shows/images/korra/characters/character_thumb_310x175_mako.jpg)

A Firebender with a serious side, the handsome and brooding Mako has always taken care of his little brother, Bolin. Growing up on the streets has given him a hard edge, but Mako loves his brother and will do anything to protect them both. Intensely focused on getting their team through the Pro-bending tournament and winning the jackpot, Mako's tightly controlled world gets a little more chaotic when Korra enters the picture.

Bolin / Earthbender:
(http://nick.mtvnimages.com/nick-assets/shows/images/korra/characters/character_thumb_310x175_bolin.jpg)

No matter how intense things get around Republic City (and they do get intense), Bolin is always good for a laugh. Mako's younger brother and Pro-bending teammate, Bolin tends to be more laidback and likes to have a good time. Despite their tough childhood, Bolin always has a smile on his face and a lady on his arm. In fact, it was Bolin who was responsible for introducing Mako to Korra. But Bolin is no clown. When the time comes to buckle down and bend some earth, this tough contender can handle his business.

Tenzin / Airbender:

Tenzin and his wife Pema raise their two daughters, Jinora and Ikki, and son Meelo, on Air Temple Island. As Avatar Aang's son and an Airbender, Tenzin carries a great responsibility on his shoulders to continue the dream of his father to protect not only the next Avatar, but also Republic City. Generally very serious and calm, Tenzin's serene life on Air Temple Island is rocked when the impetuous Korra moves into his home to continue her airbending training. As Korra's teacher, Tenzin finds his patience tested time and again but he also realizes that while she has a lot to learn from him, he also has something to learn from her.

Chief Lin Beifong:
(http://nick.mtvnimages.com/nick-assets/shows/images/korra/characters/character_thumb_310x175_lin_bei_fong.jpg)

Her mother Toph taught Avatar Aang how to earthbend, but Chief Lin Beifong doesn't feel any special affection for the new Avatar. In fact, this metal and earthbending police chief sees Korra's arrival as the biggest threat Republic City has faced in recent times. Korra's reckless ways are constantly leaving Lin Beifong's streets in ruin, and this chief is determined to push bring the Avatar out of her city.

And Korra's smile in that picture screams troll.

Speaking of Pokemon, I'm so sick of that series. For all the hate that CoD is getting from the "hardcore" community I never once see anyone put Pokemon in its place. Because to be honest, Pokemon is the exact same thing only worse. Both series aren't innovate, yet are praised as such and their only claims to fame are simplifying other games and making them accessible and popular. Both continue to push sequel after sequel with meager updates. I would expect this from a smaller franchise, but this thing fucking prints money and they refuse to shake things up with anything worth talking about. (Anyone that mentions Snap! and Hello Pikachu can suck a dick, because they're abortions and will be treated as such.)

I dunno, I'm just bitter that better series like Dragon Quest Monsters and Shin Megami Tensei keep getting snubbed, even though they're technically better in every way, because people can't get enough of two static, flickering sprites that haven't changed in over a decade.

Also, WHAT DOES IT FUCKING TAKE TO MAKE A REAL FUCKING CONSOLE POKEMON GAME THAT CAN SUCK ME INTO A VAST ECOSYSTEM OF LIFE AND ADVENTURE!??!

Fuck Gamefreak. Bunch of lazy assholes.

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on February 28, 2012, 06:27:40 AM
Well like CoD, I'm not moronic enough like most people to buy Pokemon games in mass so they never bothered me.  Actually, I've only ever bought one Pokemon game (Emerald) and received another as a gift.  So yeah, I'm pretty indifferent to it now, so I think once I get my 3DS, I'll test the waters again, at the least get one of HG or SS on the cheap, and be good.

And when the hell has SMT gotten snubbed lately?  Like really?  I don't even pay attention to SMT much, except for the asskicking Devil Survivor tends to give me, but it gets plenty of rep, hell Devil Survivor 2 is officially released in a half an hour over here.

Also, like all problems, blame Final Fantasy.  That includes Xenogears in having something to blame.  You hate how the game sucks?  Blame Final Fantasy VIII (this was learned by me the other day, which is why I haven't brought it up at all).
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Super Off Topic Thread AE 2012 Plus Alpha edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on February 28, 2012, 06:49:33 AM
SMT only has indie cred. Those games barely only get by by word of mouth. I'm not sure if you've noticed that besides the handheld games of recent, these games didn't fare well: DDS1 and 2, Persona 4, DS: Raidou 1 and 2, and NiNE being the biggest flop of all. There's a reason they went bankrupt last year. And speaking of Devil Survivor 2, it almost took an entire year for that game to see the light of day here and will probably sell modestly at best because the DS is almost on a year overlap with the 3DS by now. The only reason there was any interest to begin with was due to Persona 3 and Nocturne's breakout successes.

As for Devil Survivor, the Pierce ability or whatever it's called, the one where you can have physical attacks break through defense, is the most useful ability in the game.

Also, I have a soft spot for FFVIII, I know it's terrible, but I have personal reasons for loving that game and wouldn't have it any other way. Xenogears can go fuck itself for all I care. We did get Xenosaga and Xenoblade anyways.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Super Off Topic Thread AE 2012 Plus Alpha edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on February 28, 2012, 07:06:08 AM
It's been a while since I played, so I don't remember if I'm even close to getting the Pierce ability.  Honestly, if I decided to play it again, I'd likely have to start over.  DS combines the two RPG sub-genres that I'm really horrible at.  Tactics-style (well...sort of, but having to maneuver around to battle the right enemies at the right time) and Monster Collecting (yeah, I'm not very good at Pokemon either...my capturing foresight is really bad).

FFVIII isn't terrible, I enjoy the game somewhat too (though I never got to finish it...last disc went missing, did see the rest of the game though), I'm just saying, Xenogears is as bad as it was because all the development went into FFVIII.

And right now I'm reading the Screwed by the Networks and Executive Meddling parts of TV Tropes...and I'm about to hit Super Saiyan 2, Gohan-style.

Post by: Proto Cloud on February 28, 2012, 07:56:32 AM
I dunno, if you haven't beat it by now, you're better off with the 3DS version if you can. But the thing with the game is that there's never a point where you're screwed because of the demon auctions. I once got fucked because the final boss in the Law Hero's ending because almost every enemy was strong against physical and I had a lot of heavy hitters. So, I had to grind out the best abilities for about an hour and I scraped by the skin of my teeth. Your best bet is to look up online fusion tables and ability charts. They'll show you how to get the most out of each monster.

But yeah, the game's tough as shit and it's no joke that I count the final boss as the nastiest JRPG final boss I've ever handled. I never thought I'd have to grind, strategize, endure pain, and jihad the fuck outta the boss.

I just plain love the game, you really feel a sense of desperation in every boss battle and there's nothing quite like victory in it.

But yeah, with FFVIII, I know for a fact it isn't a terrible game, but I can agree it has serious flaws. It's a shame that people bash the fuck outta it, because I guarantee they loved the shit outta it when it first came out. I probably like it more than I do because I could identify with the characters much better than the ridiculous cast of FFVII.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Super Off Topic Thread AE 2012 Plus Alpha edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on February 28, 2012, 08:14:00 AM
Yeah, plus I didn't know what I was doing for the beginning of it so it will probably benefit me for a redo.  Part of me really wants to just hold out on getting a 3DS a bit longer and possibly get a price slash (the main reason I'm getting it is KH3D which probably won't be out until late summer at the earliest short of an EXTREMELY quick localization turnaround) but I might just hedge my bets and take care of the 3DS and everything next week when I go to get ME3.

As for FFVIII, yeah it gets unnecessary hate a lot, but that's par for the course for a lot of FF games short of VI and IX though they're slowly gaining hipster status.  VIII is what got me into FF and RPG's in general so I tend to hold a lot of respect towards it (even though at the time I had no idea how to Junction for shit).  Plus with it being a Nomura project, at least it gets to live on somewhat in future projects...can't say that I was annoyed that Squall decided to change his name to Leon in KH.  It makes his name a bit redundant...but that beats his previous name by a mile.

Call of Duty doesn't have a plethora of people making fun of the game for "being childish." Pokemon doesn't have a big group of assholes who think it's the only game worth playing and defend it to the death from those who dare attack it. Nobody I know has, as you said, "praised Pokemon for being innovative."

You are just bitter that Pokemon gets more attention than the series you do like. And that's understandable. We all do that.

The more I hear your arguments the less I think you're sane. People who play CoD don't think it's the only game worth playing just the same as Pokemon players do. You're generalizing the CoD community, because they just as easily play Mass Effect and Halo. What I'm trying to say is that both series lack any meaningful "evolution" and their fanbases could care less because they'll buy it in droves regardless.

But we get spin-offs and Pokemon related games like every year.

Which are really easily ignored (unless it's Pokemon Snap...we need more of that) even by those who play the game habitually.

Looking at the actual franchise on the handhelds, oversaturation actually happened more toward the beginning with Yellow and GS coming out within a MONTH of each other and only a year out from R/B.  Crystal came out a year and a half later, and R/S a year and a half after Crystal, which means that the legitimate followups to GS came out over 3 years later.  FR/LG came out a year after that, though being a remake and part of the same Gen, you could've ignored it if you wished.  Emerald came out 2 years after R/S.  D/P came out 2 years after Emerald and FOUR years after R/S.  2 years later is Platinum, a year after that HG/SS (same deal as FR/LG) and then a year after is B/W.

Breaking all of that down, first thing's first, the quickest turnaround from First Two Games to Trio Completion came from R/B into Yellow which happened within a year.  After that it's usually a Year and a Half to 2 Year Wait.  Now, if you ignore the Trio Completers and Remakes, the usual downtime between new Gen Poke games is 4 years, again the exception being RB into GS which happened within ONE year.  If you ignore the first two games and ONLY get the Trio Completers, the gap is again, 4 years outside of Yellow to Crystal which took a year and a half.

Long story short, unless you REALLY want to buy EVERYTHING even when it's not necessary, you'll only have to buy a Poke game every 4 years at best, every 2 at worst which at is core is a lot less douchey than most Sports and Activision games.

I still count remakes and spinoffs, because it's part of the brand, I'm actually glad that CoD hasn't done spinoffs yet. It just shows they're content making small improvements, making lazy spin-offs and making meager sequels. I can at least give Activision one thing and that's that their games are polished enough to compete with their competitors. I cannot say the same for Pokemon, because even if we do wait 4 years for a new generation, I still don't see dramatic improvements in any way.

Also, you can't fault sports games for what they do, they are what they are. I don't like it, but rosters change every year and if you like it, that's fine, but don't be hating when it's a game based on such nuanced gameplay.

Trust me. Manny Shephard, the Space Dominican with a heart of gold and a shotgun full of justice, will not be late for this fight.

Actually, if Blum, Low and Bosch made a game together, I don't care if it looks like shit, I'd still buy because the guys are amazing and it'd probably be fucking hilarious.

I also have so much more respect for Blum after playing Shadows of the Damned. The guy did his homework on that shit. He made the most hilarious and realistic Mexican character I've ever seen in a game without being racist.

That's probably not going to happen, even with the whole Gears 3 incentive, Bulletstorm sold poorly. I dunno if they're going to make a sequel, even though it was one of the best shooters this last year.

Also, yeah, that Tekken movie was ass. It was only worth it to see Heihachi powerbomb Kaz down 10 stories of wooden flooring.

Yeah, and it is a slight problem because you'd have to go out and specifically hire those who are not only VERY well versed in a certain genre, but they also have to be very capable writers and able to be impartial for reviews which is not easily done.  On top of that, with things like Fighters and then I guess MP heavy Shooters, you don't really see how good the game is right away, that takes time.  So I guess there's no...right way to go about it.

Post by: Proto Cloud on March 02, 2012, 08:29:29 AM
Alright, rant time.

So I'm playing Rayman: Origins and I find it to be absolutely fantastic. It's probably the best platformer of the year and because it was made by Michel Ancel, it flopped hard. (see also: Beyond Good and Evil)

Now normally this wouldn't be a problem, but it makes me think. Where the fuck are these indie/"games are art GAIS!??!" gamers where you need them? It seems every time there's a legitimately good artistic game made, it seems to get ignored yet games that are pretentious bullshit get attention all the time?

For example: Edmund McMillen. This talentless fuck makes a Super Meat Boy, which is basically a ROM hack game reskinned for XBLA. People are praising it for its difficulty and retro throwbacky-ness and it's total shit. It's a game where you fail until you get it right which isn't real difficult. It's just dumb trail and error and it's as stupid as when they started that with Kaizo games and IWBTG. Then he makes some stupid Zelda knockoff called The Binding of Isaac which gets attention for its retro-ness and controversial plot, all the while being nothing special at all.

Then we got Braid, THE MOST PRETENTIOUS GAME I HAVE EVER PLAYED. It is sickening how lame and how far he had to reach to make the game look like art. Shitty classical music that makes you want to shoot yourself in the head. Check. Pathetic plot that revolves around the author, Jonathan Blow, and his inability to court women. Check. Incredibly dry handpainted visuals. Check. Puzzle platformer. Check. Ugh.

And then Team Ico. Ico itself is a very stale puzzle platformer that lasts for 2 hours and doesn't even get good 'til the end. It's combat is tedious and its story isn't remarkable. It's only claim to fame is its visuals and the relationship with the main characters. SotC fares a lot better, but its clunky controls, some lazy colossi and choppy framerate ruin an otherwise masterful and innovative title.

TLDR version: Indie gamers are full of shit and when the time comes will buy pretentious bullshit, instead of titles that actually make sense.

Yeah, but his loss pretty much embodied the biggest problem the US has for any FG.  Being too fucking lazy to learn every matchup.  You have to learn every matchup because guess what, it's the one that you don't learn that will fuck you over in the end.

And then he embodied another problem, feigning respect shaking his hand, and then acting like a bitch behind his back.  I honestly would've walked up and rocked him for that, I can't handle disrespectful bitches.  I don't care if you hate how you lost, who you lost to, whatever.  Shake the man's hand and walk away and pop off later, or hell just walk away and say that you didn't like how you lost.  Don't fucking shake a dude's hand and then act like a bitch five seconds later to him when he isn't looking.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:on disk DLC edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on March 05, 2012, 08:26:02 AM
You'll always get douches in the US scene, but honestly, I doubt Kusoru learned his matchups either, there's a billion different combinations in Marvel (you really can't expect everything) and there are a few prominent Joe players out there already. Japan has less play than the US. The problem is adjusting and some of the US players are feeling themselves too much and it showed. They weren't respecting him and their plans backfired. PR Rog had him figured and he blew it by doing stupid shit.

Title: Re: Off Topic thread:on disk DLC edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on March 05, 2012, 08:37:15 AM
Except Joe wasn't really the problem, it was Log Trap, plain and simple.  While Dieminion isn't exactly the pinnacle of Joe play, he's very solid with him and gives a good baseline as to what to expect at least defensively and he can rushdown so this shouldn't have caught anyone by surprise.

And Kusoru's gameplan was lampshaded by god damn near everyone, it was predictable.  Throw V-Rangs, Triple Jump, H Red Hot Kick + Log Trap.  Repeat until a solid hit is landed into combo.  He literally did not change his gameplan until either he landed a solid enough hit to combo, or Joe died.  He also showed that if Raccoon dies, his team can fall apart EXTREMELY fast.  Yet very few actually did jack shit about it, hell I think Yipes was the only one smart enough to snap him in.  Hell the only reason Rog even got one of his games was because Kusoru tagged Raccoon in for him by mistake.

And for the LIFE of me I cannot fathom why in the world Rog decided to go with Felicia.  His Felicia is mediocre at best.  If you're going to pick someone for their Dark Mode, you go to the King of Derp, Dark Wesker.  At the highest levels of play for each character, I think Felicia can definitely outpace Wesker, but his Felicia wasn't shit, so why not go to a character you barely have to know to win with? 

In the end his team was ATROCIOUSLY built, I mean really Spencer/Wolvie/Felicia?  It's basically a team of three loners, which made Kusoru's strategy a lot more effective than it had to be. 

As yeah you can't learn every team matchup, but there's no excuse for not at least knowing what a character can do on a certain level, which I guarantee Kusoru had in the end.  PR Rog couldn't handle that his knowledge and his team was shit, and he decided to be a bitch about it.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:on disk DLC edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on March 05, 2012, 09:04:25 AM
Log trap definitely made his Joe more fierce, but like you said, he was very predictable and once the Joe/Coon team is done, it breaks apart. Like I said, he had him figured out, but he fucked up, I truly believe he could've reset the bracket and could've won.

I will give you that his choice of Felicia was incredibly stupid. It doesn't work at all for his team, which already had two rushdown characters and could've instead used a character with an assist to stuff keepaway game but didn't, or like you said, he could've gone with Wesker.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:on disk DLC edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on March 05, 2012, 09:14:36 AM
I'll say this at least, Spencer loses to that Joe/Coon combo pretty bad, and might just lose to Joe period.  Bionic Arm is made completely worthless thanks to V-Dodge and Mach Speed, his small size and evasive tactics make it a pain for Spencer to land a solid hit or continue his combos, and constant V-Rangs will make Ziplining a pain in the ass.

Wolvie might have a problem too if the Joe predicts a Berserker Slash mixup and V-Dodges at the right time.  That's mostly Theory-Fighter though.

It just makes me mad that not only did PR Rog make it as far as he did with his bitch made team and attitude, it was the fact that he did it over Yipes, who worked his ass off to finally get back to the level he deserved to be at, actually thinking hard and eventually getting his team synergy down.  And even after all that and the shitty way he went out of the tourney, not 60 seconds later was he on the house mic for everyone for Grand Finals, cracking jokes about how he got rabies.  Fucking class act.

And I feel bad for Kusoru.  ANYBODY in the US wins with that team, they're a hero.  But he's just going to catch hate and constant MM threats.  He was just having fun, especially with Mihe striking anime poses and even switching the voices to Japanese for the hell of it.  And he gets disrespected like he did.  I dare PR Rog do that to his face or to anyone else.  If he did that to Noel, he would've popped off at him or would've just rocked him.

I really need to get my shit together and find a way to handle Hwa... and better team mates for King. That was a Day 1 Mai. I need more work with her, I got a general idea how her HD combo's work, just a matter of putting it into practice in a real match. Hopefully I can find a complete team before Dust Bowl and get some practice in at RIT/Cyberstorm with the few guys still playing KOF here. I haven't had an offline match in KOF in almost over 2 months.

I need to bring KOF back to Rochester, I know when RIT is back in session, ppl are gonna be playing SFxT... but not me, I'm gonna get there early to steal a tv and run some KOF, don't care if ppl bring their copies of SFxT, or wanna run Marvel or AE, like Juicebox said, this is a real mans 2D fighting game.

Issue's with Import data on both PC/360 and it's specifically if you didn't change your Shep importing in 2. Since I did it, I'm affected and it won't allow me to use my import data.

Hell yeah, Predator series and most of Alien are awesome.

So it's hard to understand how both AvP sucked balls.

Here's my take on that. Even though I like the AvPs on some levels, they messed up in key areas, areas I don't think even they realize they messed up in. Principle, the best parts of the AvP were the creatures, Aliens were awesome, Predators were awesome (even a shoutout to the Predalien [Hybrid I call him]), but the humans were just terrible. Scientists and small-town occupants are supposed to cut it against the baddest extra-terrestrials ever? Their contribution was nothing more than fodder for the next kill.

The humans set the tone of every movie. The colonial marines (Aliens) and spec ops in Guatemala (Predator) are classic because of those characters. Even "reformed" convicts (Alien 3) and cops in the middle of a drug/street war (Predator 2) worked.

What made Predators work for me was a cast of nothing-but-badasses, like a World Warriors cast of killers. Prometheus will work hopefully due to good stylings AND good characters.

Just keep the characters real, make them memorable ("Game over man!" "Get to the Choppa!" and the like), and let the Aliens/Predators be themselves, at worse you've got a decent movie.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:on disk DLC edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on March 09, 2012, 04:42:48 AM
If Robert Rodriguez took a shot at AVP, I'd be pretty hyped. Just because he sticks with comic book conventions, which is exactly the strength of both series.

I just wish they'd hire H.R. Giger back. I love his art and it's why the Alien series had such striking designs.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:on disk DLC edition
Post by: LouisCipher on March 09, 2012, 05:20:13 AM
I didn't really like Predators. I thought it was okay, but not as good as Predator 1 and 2. My big problem with Predators was (bad grammar): It lifted too many scenes from the first Predator and Topher Grace was pretty pointless. Yeah, he's a Dahmer caricature and he's ultimately there for one twist, but he's Topher Grace and he frankly doesn't belong in a Predator Movie. He's a good actor but you don't take a guy like that and just stick him with a bunch of bad asses like Danny Trejo or even Jesse Ventura.

AVP Requiem is a guilty pleasure. I love it for the carnage, the Wolf predator being badass, and the PredAlien. I hate the fact it's so by the numbers and really darkly lit.

If it makes you feel even better Prometheus (the Alien Prequel) supposedly brought H.R. Giger back.

Well at the end , is Prometheus a true Alien prequel/movie or not? i know it's in the same universe i think, but i see people saying it's not a TRUE Alien movie.

It isn't. It was going to be a prequel at first, but now it has nothing to do with it. It's has to do with Aliens in a spiritual sense.

No one yet knows if it's a true prequel. But I'm calling it a prequel. The trailer clearly shows the derelict craft that contained the eggs and space jockey from the first Alien.

Nosferatu on the SNES is fucking hard. I had it in my roms and started playing it again and thinking 'holy shit this is awesome!' the graphics are similar to Clock Tower on SNES and the controls are pretty good considering it's basically Prince of Persia with fighting mechanics... Then I get to the 2nd level. It's still good but the game starts playing cheap... Now 3rd level. I'm using an emulator and the game has infinite continues and it's still hard as shit. Just impossibly cheap enemies that cannot be killed and plenty of cheap one hit kills. And suddenly I'm missing my jumps.

My computer is something I use to get away from gaming or TV for a while to divert my attention.  I also do not feel like micromanaging my laptop or getting a new PC altogether.  I've never been a fan of PC gaming, even when I have done it at my friend's, I'm not about to start now.  I'm not exactly a fan of Sony or MS' shit, but I'd rather have something separate for gaming.

And Avatar is a good series, but it can be...annoying to get into as Season 1 wasn't really that good.  Season 2 is where it truly earned its wings, and despite criticism Season 3 was good...until the ending (WTF is it with trilogies and Endings?!).  Two Deus Ex Machinas within one fight a good final fight does not make.

They usually sell terribly, but if they're published by a well respected company they tend to do better. So far I've seen, games like Ratchet and Clank, Neverwinter Nights, Wizardry and GTA have sold well there.

Actually, they really are. I just looked at the top 100 games charts and, no joke, it's 99% JRPGs.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:on disk DLC edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on March 15, 2012, 06:45:59 AM
Yeah, pretty much, a JRPG would have to REALLY suck to not get much play over there.  I mean, Famitsu should give a pretty good idea on how high they are on them, they never give a single JRPG a bad score...EVER.  I'm surprised they don't just make National Holidays for when Pokemon, Monster Hunter or a Final Fantasy drop...if they don't have them already.

Oh, and here's the trailer for A:TLoK (not as free flowing as A:TLA).

Post by: Proto Cloud on March 15, 2012, 06:51:53 AM
Apparently the only games that get national holidays are Ys and Dragon Quest. I'm surprised MH hasn't gotten there, because it's stupid popular now.

As much as I love Japanese game though, their love for RPGs is a bit exaggerated. I thought America was bad with it's love affair with Western fantasy and shooters.

I mean, they almost all agree that FFX is the game EVER. >_>
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:on disk DLC edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on March 15, 2012, 06:59:03 AM
I like RPG's as much as the next guy, but they put me and most of us under the table.  And yeah I figured MH would be National Holiday status by now.

And I think America loves shooters because they love simple, open competition, and then after that, they like anything with a ton of hype.

And I'm very tentative to say anything of FFX because I love the game, and it's the first FF I actually beat (mostly because I'm missing a FFVIII disc, and my FFVII is in meh shape).  If I actually planned to get a Vita, I would jump all over the rerelease it will get.  But yeah...no, not the best game ever, not the best FF ever...it's honestly way too easy for that.  There were only a couple of spots I ever struggled with in FFX, and all but one were because of underleveling.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:on disk DLC edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on March 15, 2012, 07:08:22 AM
I don't think it's bad either. It's definitely one of the better ones, but the story was basically a soap opera and some characters like Kimahri and Yuna are straight-up retarded.

The only games I agree on that list were Ocarina of Time and Dragon Quest III because of their impact.

Here's the list btw. It's pretty shocking.

Meh, I could understand Kimahri a bit though.  He went through hell.  And Yuna was kind of sheltered.  I liked the story, like I said, game was a bit too easy.  I mean, it didn't have to be as douchey with difficulty spikes as XII, but...yeah, other than Yunalesca, there isn't really a boss in the game (main game at least) that you can't handle quite easily normally leveled.  Underleveled, only a couple more become difficult (Evrae, 3rd Seymour...angular freak, BFA).

Tell me about it. I blame Evangelion for its popularity. It was basically a shameless rip-off and it was in the point of time where Japanese had a hard on for Kabbalism and anime-as-hell usage of religious iconography.

I'm also surprised Vice City showed up on that list.

the only reason i think GTA has sold really well is probably just because of the things you can do in the game i dont think ive seen any game from japan that lets you fuck a bitch in your car then kill said bitch for the 5 dollars you paid her

I'm sorry, Blizzard just isn't the same company they used to be. The only thing I still give them credit for is that they still rep the Macintosh.

My problem is that I don't think any RPG that is coming out will top Dark Souls in terms of sheer epicness. The only thing I've seen so far that's looking to top it is Dragon's Dogma because of its sheer absurdity.

Another note...the OTHER Iron Man show on right now (yeah...THAT one) has now dealt with the Extremis shit that pretty much made Tony a true walking computer.  Avengers might have to get on that.  I mean both the animated show, and the movies (maybe IM3).

Post by: Proto Cloud on March 18, 2012, 07:55:10 PM
Definitely enjoying RE: Revelations right now. It's very atmospheric and the whole "Titanic meets zombies" vibe works well with the claustrophic environments it uses. I also like that they have something other than the usual zombies and the superb graphics.

My only beef is that the story so far is kinda dumb. Basically, they made some kind of Atlantis type of city, powered exclusively by solar-power. Apparently, this blantant socialist usage of green energy causes a bio-terrorist group to attack it using zombie terrorism, since, according to Bioterrorism Monthly, it's all the rage with Liberation groups. Why they couldn't just use nukes, anthrax or C4 is beyond me though. So apparently to stop the zombies, they use their own solar power and harness it by powering a satellite strike, destroying the city itself.

Fast forward a few years later, the Racoon City Survivors Task Force (aka BSAA) is called on because of odd events occuring. Jill and her new hispanic friend soon find out that Chris Redfield and Jessica (?) have been MIA and were found in an abandoned ship. There they find some terrorists that have to "trick" them into finding out the "truth".

So yeah, it's REALLY cliched and sounds like a bad anime so far, at least it actually does play like a deserving successor to 4. But man, this series needs a reboot badly.

Series needs to go away is more like it.  People hate when it's not zombies, and there will always be far more interesting zombie games other than RE these days.

It has served its purpose.  After 6, end the series.

Post by: Proto Cloud on March 18, 2012, 08:00:41 PM
Dude, you, me and the entire planet knows they're not ending the series. It's a humongous cash cow and it won't end unless both ORC and RE6 don't make bank. And even then they'll "revive" in the next 5 years.

I legitimately beat Out of This World earlier today. Good game, has parallels with Dragon's Lair. In that pretty much everything kills you instantly and it's about trial and error. The visuals still hold up and the gameplay is good but there's a 'but'. The SNES version has the best music easily, perfect music and sound effects. But, there's slowdown. Real bad slowdown throughout most of the game. It gets to a point where you desperately need to shoot a guy and nothing happens you just stand there for several seconds which makes a game like this even harder.

The Genesis version has no slowdown, in fact it runs twice as fast as the SNES version. Only the music and sound could make your ears bleed.

Weird trade off.

But my question is WHY SLANT SIX? Of all the developers out in the west, you choose the one that has a bad track record that is synonymous with the fall of the SOCOM series? They really must be desperate.

Also, apparently Revelations seems to be a prologue for 6 apparently...

Title: Re: Off Topic thread:MANLY!!! Edition

Or they just really didn't care.  With Revelations and RE6, ORC didn't really need to do crap, especially since we've seen the damn Raccoon City incident a hundred times now.

What do you mean a prologue?  I'm honestly asking as I don't have the game unlike you.  Isn't Revelations placed before RE5?

Because they're alluding to an event that's supposed to happen that brings both Jill and Chris together that isn't what happened in RE6. I could be wrong since I'm not done yet, but it seems that it's building up to that.

Point and Click...for a console.

Yeah, honestly, while I wouldn't get it on PC, it would be much better suited for it, as I doubt many of today's pathetic console gamers have the patience for a point and click game.

So yeah...Bioware is buckling under the pressure and is giving in.  The funny thing is, if they had just delayed the game a month, or possibly even less, and just at least finished the ending to at least make it have some sort of semblance of sense (it'd still be a bad ending, but at least it'd look like effort was put into it), this could've been avoided.

Idk how the hell they'll get out of this one though, especially now that they've given precedent at buckling to demands.

I think the biggest issue, and I tend to agree with other fans, it's probably EA's influence. They really are whoring out the Bioware brand and stretching them too thin. I think it would've been better if they were still with Microsoft. At least they're more forgiving when it comes to time and quality.

Fatal Fury:Legacy Of Might was an old video project series I did back in 2006-2007, but it was lost with the closure of my old account, so I'm bringing it back, completely remade, re-vamped and better than ever.

It continues the story of Garou:Mark Of The Wolves with a new tournament hosted by Krauser. It's my tribute to the Fatal Fury series, and this new version should be interesting with all the advancements.

They turned her into an emotional wreck that needs to be ordered around by manly men, because women can't do anything right. Also she desperately wants to be a MOTHER and is sent on a mission to the BOTTLE SHIP. All of this to tell the story of Adam Malkovich, who turns out to be a total misogynistic asshole, who's praised as a hero at the end. Also the cutscenes are long and boring, the voice acting sucks and the gameplay is somewhat decent.

So how do you fuck up a character that doesn't talk much at all and hasn't had much development? You make her talk and then you pull a George Lucas.

It would've been fine if they kept it to a minimum. Basically, the whole point the character doesn't talk much is that from birth she's had to rely on herself and her training from the Chozo. That's why she always flies solo and keeps to herself because everyone just abandoned her and she trust anyone. The only human character that she ever had a relationship with was Adam Malkovich and they decided to flesh that out in the worst way possible. It could've actually been the most important game in the series if they actually put some time into writing and pacing.

The first two episodes of A:TLoK are here.  The animation is greatly fluid, and I do enjoy the characters and how you can sympathize with them.  The music seems very well done and is keyed in at the right moments.

Also, I loved the introduction of Pro Bending introducing new fighting styles into the mix showing there's not just one way to bend, and the protagonist team is the perfect example of that.  Active Earthbending, only rooting yourself to the ground at the moment of striking itself.  More reserved Firebending, bobbing and weaving rather than ferociously waving fire around and then throwing precision strikes.  And then Korra utilizing an Airbender's movement in order to enhance her own fighting style and Waterbending.

It's also interesting to hear the explanations behind Airbending and such, things we never got in the initial series since Aang was the only Airbender, and already a master thus...you know, no point in explaining it.  And lastly it's nice to see that they mention the fact that the toughest element for Avatars to master are the ones that lie at the opposite of their personality, not necessarily their main elements.  Aang played it straight as Earthbending was not only the opposite of his element, but at a complete contrast to his personality.  Whereas Korra's problem is Airbending, while she's a natural Waterbender yet an Airbender's "personality" would be at complete contrast with her's which is actually much more like an Earthbender's (people do tend to compare her to Toph).

Now that I think about it I don't think I've ever fought a Chin. I've fought all of the other characters at least once online but never a Chin.

I lost pretty bad at Dust Bowl to a guy that used King/Kensou/Chin. I could deal with his King pretty easily, and I'm not too used to fighting Kensou, but the real problem was Chin. I had no idea how to fight him, nor did I really know what he was completely capable of.

There was only 4 players signed up for KOF, so it was decided it would be a Round Robin, first to 3, winner take all. So I go 1-1, and I'm doing pretty good in game 3, I was just about to finish off Kensou with King, and then the power at the venue goes out for about a hour. Power comes back, and KOF is put on hiatus until about 7 hours later, and by then I am just completely mentally drained. The score is reset and I lose 3-0. And that was it. After that turn out, I don't think KOF will be back, and neither will me lol. The venue was really hot and stuffy making it very uncomfortable, and I feel the tournament wasn't organized well, it took a long time for UMvC3 and SFxT to finish and I don't think they had enough setups either. It was just an unbalanced setup between the Capcom trinity, and there was like only 1 setup for Soul Calibur I think. One dude threw his stick to the floor after losing in Marvel lol.

Jug/Guyofkaillera took SF4 again, he took it at the last 2 tournaments, his Guy is insanely good.

So yeah, I doubt I'll be doing anymore tournaments anytime soon, especially with how KOF is handled around these parts, but maybe if something for Third Strike popped up again, I'd do it.

Post by: Running Wild on March 25, 2012, 11:37:05 PM
Yeah, I should of left, I was talkin with a friend last night and he said the same thing, and he also plays a bit of Chin, so he gave me a lil advice. But ya know, you go to a tournament, you meet new people, I met some guys and we chatted about old fighting games and classic games in general, so I was kinda compelled to stay despite how tired I was getting lol.

If I knew more about Soul Calibur, I would of entered that, especially since they had the newly patched version and ppl are still figuring it out.

If we could organize something to travel to an event in the big city or a little ways out of state, I'd be down.

Not really. I could care less what Ono does. I'm not a real big SF fan, nor do I care if he's "destroying" the series or not or if he's a terrible director or not. At the end of the day, I can always play something else. In that case, it's KOFXIII right now.

Now you know why I call him Satsu. Maybe it's better if I go with ChaChaCha. XD

So, I finished AssCreed: Revelations and am pleased. The story has gone full circle and I'm glad that we're done with Ezio, even as swag as he is, he needs to be put down. I'm also surprised to see the ending basically gave away that 3 was going to be set in America. Hopefully, Connor doesn't disappoint in the character department.

As for Resident Evil: Revelations. So far it's a mixed bag. For everything that goes right, there's something that goes wrong. I do like the setting, but there's way too much backtracking. For every scary moment, it gives up on trying at all for long periods of time, I do appreciate that it's actually got a good scary and claustrophobic environment. My biggest thing is that the game is rather easy compared to the demo, with plenty of ammo if you scan areas thoroughly and the ability to upgrade your weaponry. Also the story is just awkward so far.

I'm not a big Angry Birds fan (I barely, barely played it on my phone) but I tried out Angry Birds Space and aside from waiting about 2 minutes for it to load on my pretty basic Optimus V I do like it. It brings something new to the table and it's fun. The load times really hurt it for me though.

And honestly, unless Ono's gone for 1 year+, it won't matter who his replacement is as they won't affect anything big time as far as FGs go and as far as I know, Ono didn't have much input anywhere else in Capcom games.

Ace Attorney is more like a point and click game which is why I like them. Visual novels' only gameplay element is basically that it's an overblown "Chose your Adventure" book with voiceovers.

Very streamlined is putting it mildly.  Besides, does KH having rail shooter sections make it a Rail Shooter?

And Katawa Shoujo is one of the better VN's around and it has no Voice Acting whatsoever.

Have you ever played a point and click game? They tend to have puzzles, one path and don't revolve around trying to getting H scenes. KS doesn't have voiceovers because it's a US made game. Sam & Max has more gameplay and characters than KS and doesn't need you banging an armless girl because you feel sorry for her.

Seriously, you" point and click" at items, use your brain, interrogate and figure logic puzzles in Ace Attorney. You don't keep skipping the dialogue until you put on a pearl necklace on a girl with a burned face.

Here let me help you and Xxenace because he hasn't apparently played real point and click games:

Sam & Max Hit the Road
Day of the Tentacle
Monkey Island
Gabriel Knight Adventures
King's Quest
Full Throttle
Grim Fandango

Get acquainted because you have absolutely no idea how very different the genres are.

And AA is NOTHING like those games other than the action of pointing and clicking and having one path.

And the fact that you're so pathetic to talk shit on KS like that like every other hive mind piece of crap that honestly, you're not worth any of my respect.  Seriously, and I'll put it bluntly, do well to fuck off.

Got a PS3 again. I'm starting to remember why I hated it in the first place. Damn thing is so user-unfriendly, it's criminal. Got myself Arcana Heart 3.

Also, Resident Evil: Revelations takes a turn for the worst. For a luxury cruise liner, it's incredibly small and very bland. It doesn't help that the game forces to backtrack a whole fucking lot too. Enemies are a nice variation from the usual zombies, but a lot of them tend to be just plain annoying, use surprise sex attacks and they recycle the same boss battles over and over. I had to roll my eyes when the typical Charge>Dodge>Attack weak point boss showed up. It's fucking 2012, aren't we done with these game design crutches already? I'm not even going to touch how bad the story gets.

Too bad Diablo has taken forever to just make a dated game that's going to be super polish. I'd rather take a game that took two years to make and is everything that Diablo III should've been. I'm sorry, but people need to get off Blizzard's dick. They are given way too much leeway to make the same games over and over.

Geez, that's quite a grab. You'll definitely enjoy Shadows of the Damned, basically Steve Blum does THE BEST MEXICAN IMPERSONATION. EVER. I loved it, but the game feels rushed. It ends all too soon and doesn't end up hitting its stride.

I also have Dark Souls if you want to do co-op in that.

You'll also have to tell me if ACV is any good. I used to play all the AC games back in the PS1 era.

Ugh. RE: Revelations was SUCH A DISAPPOINTMENT! I swear I went through the same engine room section 10 times over. This game is so cheap it's ridiculous! There's way too much backtracking, the isn't much to explore, the story is a really bad allusion to The Divine Comedy and the enemies are re-used so much. I love going through entire sections where you only fight one type of enemy.

I was right though, it's a prologue to RE6, because it ends on a twist.

I also sent Castlevania: Lords of Shadow in record time. I'm sorry, I can't play a bad with such shitty framerate and a camera that's constantly wigging out all the time.

We'll put down Revelations as a Youtube Game.  Ironically putting it in the same group as Assassin's Creed: Revelations (though I do enjoy the MP on it). 

VG companies, take note.  Putting Revelation as part of the name of your game is a jinx.  Just ask Tomb Raider.

What they mean by "Revelations" is revealing loose threads, but only barely.

The only thing is that I actually enjoyed AC:R though. Even if it does tread the exact same ground as Brotherhood, at least it kept mixing things up and don't have issues decided whether it should be one genre or another. It just makes me wonder why they didn't just keep ACR as a 3DS game like they normally intended.

I do hope that KH3D doesn't fall in this same trap. I do want to see that game be the real deal.

I know what they mean, it still seems to be a jinx.

And I didn't mind AC:R (especially since I got it on Christmas Discount at Gamestop by sheer luck), but...it just could've been better.  City didn't flow as well, free run wise as previous games.  Sofia as Ezio's love interest seemed really forced.  Dungeons weren't as good.  Sword fights didn't seem as good.  idk, didn't click for me really, though I'll say it again, I really enjoy the multiplayer.  Wish I had a team to run with, but it's whatever.

Also, KH3D is making it tough on me...since it's out in Japan now, it's complete radio silence at the moment.  I'm praying I don't accidently run into a spoiler. 

And why would anyone truly listen to professional reviewers?  There are times it's fine, but only when the review itself is comprehensive and makes sense.  But you should still make your own opinions.

As for ME3, honestly I didn't find many flaws in the game, other than the ending obviously.

I dunno, maybe I'm a bit biased being a history nut and all, but I do agree that there are those issues, but they're mostly because the formula has kind of run its course. I really do hope that ACIII mixes things up for the better.

But my problem with reviewers is that people hang on their every word and people are too stupid to wise up. It makes me mad because at least film critics have standards. It bothers me how the reviewer can just pass a review without even finishing most of the game and give it a 10/10 without even telling you that he didn't finish it. I'm sorry, but you can't tell me that when there's something as glaring as a bad ending, that at least most reviewers would point that out and have to tell you that. I'd guarantee you that film critics would be pissed and every one of them would call the film out on it. period.

Resident Evil 6 Captivate Trailer - 2012 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4VJljsHgSo#ws)

Captivate Embargo down, time for some new shit RE6 styled.

A few things to take note of.  Any doubt of Sherry being Sherry is now out the window.

- The mystery merc is now known to be Wesker's "son" (with this being an RE game, who knows what the hell they actually mean by that).

- Ada has become a lot more trolltastic.

- Leon vs. Chris...the age old rivalry shall finally come to a head.

- I find it funny...for the first time it seems that Leon hasn't completely lost his mind when it comes to Ada...unfortunately he happens to be in the same room as a pissed off Chris.

More info on RE6.  Wesker Jr's name is Jake Mueller.  And Ada was the one that ran a train on Chris' BSAA team 6 months before RE6 so...yeah, considering how pussy whipped Leon tends to be around her, they'll be lucky to not kill each other by the end of this.

That "punk ass bitch" runs trains through his own games without any help, and often with an anchor (who happens to be blonde...hmm).  Leon is just fine as long as Ada doesn't show up.  And at least he doesn't have to take steroids...and ironically, he's a LOT less Emo than Chris is now.

So more RE6 details that I was too stupid to notice the first time.

Release Date got moved up massively from 11/20 to 10/3.  Must be working overtime.

Co-op...back to the main focus with all 3 protagonists having their own partners (Leon/Helena, Chris/Piers, Jake/Sherry) though now it's Drop-In/Drop-Out play for Online.  That's good I guess.

And Mercs is coming back, being unlocked from the start.  Hurray.

The only game Leon made it through alone without any help was RE4:

[spoiler]And even there in the Ada mini-game it reveals she helped him at some points, in this i might be wrong since i barely remember stuff from there.[/spoiler]

In Code: Veronica Chris:

[spoiler]killed Alexia, the chick whose even Wesker was afraid of. Yes, most of the puzzles, enemies, doors, etc were already done by Claire, but he was alone.[/spoiler]

Not counting RE1 and RE2 because Jill and Claire.

The steroids is not official and probably only fan-made, used to mock and joke about his new appearance.

Dunno about the emo thing, the only game from the main storyline i have to play is Revelations. Maybe Chris gets emo there, but who knows.

But hey, this is silly arguing over two characters that i don't even like that much.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 11, 2012, 01:21:57 AM
He's way bulkier in RE5 than he is in any other RE game INCLUDING 6.  If that doesn't signify steroid use, I dunno what does.

And considering how Ada is, half the time Leon got through his situations in spite of her, rather than help from her, except for both his Final Boss fights, those Rocket Launchers were handy.

And you can tell Chris' mood change just from the two RE6 trailers.  Ada decimating his squad has left him sullen most of the time until she gets brought up or is around, to which he immediately flies off the handle.

Some of those details are good to hear, but wish I didn't know this much of the story from the two trailers. The new release date kind of worries me; it better be almost already done as of now, cause Capcom really doesn't need anymore hiccup/omissions like it's fighters have been getting, though that's probably unlikely with RE.

And after the whole Sherry/Ashley guessing game, unless Capcom said this themselves somewhere that the red scarf was Ada, I'm gonna wait. I'll assume it now, as everything is pointing in that direction, but it was a surprise to see Ada do what she did to Chris's squad; never seen her act so...Wesker before.

I really want to hold off on getting this game until the (more) complete edition comes out after the initial, but I just don't know. More gameplay will help my decision.

Interesting to see Capcom starting to get some positivity back, especially out of DmC now. Profits are closer to guaranteed, though not what they're expecting outside of RE6, but we'll see.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 11, 2012, 02:57:58 AM
Yeah...there's no way in hell that's not Ada.  At least with the Sherry/Ashley thing, it was hard since we had no clue what Sherry would look like a decade later, and she does look a bit like Ashley.  That however looks a crapton like Ada, and Ada has been heavily featured in every game that Leon decides to make his presence (all two of them).  If that's not Ada, I'm kicking Capcom's ass.

Seen in most recent game, happens to be a game that the President gets killed (of course we didn't find out until later that it's a different President than her father), and she was doing what she was doing best in the trailer, running.  Then we have Sherry, who we haven't seen in a freaking decade, and considering the big deal the government did to keep her, didn't seem like the best choice as a field agent.

In other news, i remember seeing in ¿this thread? a picture of possible characters for Capcom x Sega x Namco. Well, Famitsu confirmed some chars:

http://andriasang.com/con0lk/project_cross_zone_details/ (http://andriasang.com/con0lk/project_cross_zone_details/)

Quote
The mysterious collaboration between Sega, Namco Bandai and Capcom has been revealed on the pages of Famitsu this week. As many speculated based off recent trademark filings, the 3DS game is titled Project X Zone (pronounced Project Cross Zone).

Project X Zone is a strategy RPG featuring characters from the three makers. According to Sinobi, which gets Famitsu in advance, the characters, in general, team up in pairs for fighting scenes.

Characters are listed here in their pairings:

Capcom
Ryu & Ken (Street Fighter 0)
X and Zero (Mega Man)
Demitri and Dante (Darkstalkers and Devil May Cry)
Chris and Jill (Resident Evil)

Sega
Shinguji Sakura and Ogami Ichiro (Sakura Wars)
Pai and Akira (Virtua Fighter)
Kurt and Riela (Valkyria Chronicles)
Ulala and Touma (Space Channel 5 and Shining Force EXA)

Namco Bandai
Sanger Somvold (Super Robot Wars)
Jin and Ling Xiaoyu (Tekken)
Kos-Mos and T-elos (Xenosaga)
Yurie and Estel (Tales of Vesperia)
Kaito and Black Rose (.hack)

Good to see Demitri back, even if it's in a game like this.

Okay, a couple of things.

One, what's with the obsession with the word Cross now?  Though at least it sounds better for this title.

Secondly, hey look, X actually made it in a game as himself.

And Lastly, exactly when do we call Xiaoyu a creepy stalker?  Because she's really getting to that point right now.

Because 4, 3, 2, 1, Code Veronica had this dumb bullshit. Plus, Wesker Jr. Dude, you need to lay off the RE dickwagon for a second, because I don't remember tired action movie cliches in the previous games. Honestly, it looks like an awful Micheal Bay movie.

I'm sorry, but after that whole thing about how "survival horror" doesn't sell from Capcom. This series can go fuck itself. If I wanted to play Call of Zombies, I'd grab Black Ops for 10 bucks.

Hmm, creepy mansions, the foreign looking guy being the betrayer, shit hitting the fan on the first day of work, falling for a girl that's shady as hell, scientist becoming a slave to his own work, Russians being dicks, guy and girl falling for each other in hell, one of said two ending up dying confessing said love, hell most of Leon's dialogue in RE4.  When it comes to cliches in regard to story, RE's been doing it for a while. 

It's not being on its dickwagon, if anything, it's the opposite, it's knowing the story has been shit since day 1, and that tbqh, REs 1-3 weren't that good at all, CV was decent.  RE4 was great, and of course, we all know the mediocreness of RE5.  RE as a series has aged HORRIBLY.  Arguably, RE4 is the only RE game in the ENTIRE SERIES worth going back to on the strength of its single player (for all of RE5's wannabe Gears fest, at least Mercs was fun, so that lives for MP).

If the story is ass, the gameplay better be worth it, and until RE4 (MAYBE CV), RE's gameplay was never worth it (at least for today's standards).  I can get creepy atmospheres and crap from horror movies or some shit (horror...not slasher), and at least with those I don't have to deal with shitty ass camera angles and tank controls that try to force a feeling of dread on you but ultimately lives a bitter taste of frustration when it takes 20 seconds just to actually aim your damn gun.

If we're going by today's standards, which at this point you should because I don't really give a shit about how revolutionary games were when I was 8, RE as a whole is an AWFUL franchise with one, maybe two bright spots in a series worth of shit.

Ps.- I know the first 2 episodes are floating around the net, and even i got them, but didn't watch them 'cause i want to do it in HD.

Ps2.- Nickelodeon will air them in HD too, right? right?

Post by: Proto Cloud on April 16, 2012, 08:25:29 PM
Of course they'll scapegoat used games, they obviously made a "good" product that is completely "worth" $60. >_>

I just hate how they never quite understand that MAYBE their game isn't up to par and didn't meet expectations because it either didn't have enough content or just wasn't good to begin with. Used games have always been there and they're nothing but beneficial to sales, because used sales usually lead those players to buy the sequel on day 1. If they don't, they never had the money to buy it new in the first place. So I don't see their point in attacking them.

Now as for the various forms of DLC, it's hard to say. Costs of development have basically skyrocketed since the Playstation era. Ever since games like FF7 and Metal Gear Solid came along, it's been a game of catch up for many developers. The need for CD quality orchestral soundtracks, a decent and varied voice cast, bleeding edge graphics, cutting edge motion capture technology and an ever growing team of developers/actors/musicians/coffee makers needed to make this game a reality. Games are now rivaling films on inflated budgets with games like Mass Effect 3 and RE6 having millions upon millions put into the game.

Honestly, I'm not sure if we'll ever know that the DLC is necessary to make ends meet. Seeing how nowadays a game that mediocre sales could be the deathbed for their entire development studio. Personally, I'd rather see these insanely overproduced games go away. Reason people keep complaining about how JRPGs are dead is because they hightailed it to portables to avoid their developers get crushed by high development costs.

I'd rather that publishers instead gave first buyer incentives like smaller publishers like Atlus do to sell their games instead. I think it's a win-win situation and I like how Ubisoft has been doing that with their pre-orders (wish they'd back off the DRM bullshit) Instead of penalizing people that buy it used.

I actually find it funny that the entirety of Kid Icarus: Uprising is basically a metaphor for the hiatus of the entire series. They basically crack jokes about the economy and how skyworld and earth had to cope while they gone for 25 years. It's pretty funny stuff. Wish the land combat's controls weren't so awkward.

Yeah, but it has its flaws.  Just dropping Rocket into the team and barely addressing why she was even chosen nor giving her much dialogue was not the smartest move at all.  95% of people probably don't know who the hell she is at all, and barely caught notices of her being in the series previously.  They couldn't just show us someone saying, "Hey, here's Rocket, she's on the team, enjoy"?
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on April 18, 2012, 01:43:21 AM
Yeah, that was completely out of left field, but that isn't the first time they omit stuff to be explained later. I'm guessing they did it because Icon got admitted to the Justice League or something. Also, they didn't explain Zitara all that well either. Honestly, it's not too much of a big deal for me because I like Jojo's and it's always more about getting the plot to advance than explaining the details.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 18, 2012, 02:13:15 AM
Well yeah, that seems to be the sense, that since Icon's in the League, his sidekick goes to the team.  But still, at least they could've given a bigger heads up.  I'm not saying do a whole origin story thing or whatever, since we're way too close to the Season Finale for that, but at least ease us in.  Rocket's watching all of these revelations and doesn't even know what the hell's going on...kind of takes away the Family feel the Team had.

As for the Zatanna thing, at least she got like two episodes being a guest star before officially joining the team.  And Artemis got the whole "Hey, here's Artemis, she saved you not Red Arrow, enjoy".

And I think they resolved the whole Team keeping secrets a bit TOO fast.  I don't mind Megan's being resolved fast because I figured it wouldn't be a big deal (Connor knowing the whole time was surprising though).  Artemis...it was kind of annoying on both sides.  I figured that SOMEONE had to have known about her background, she really doesn't hide it very well, Robin knowing also wasn't a surprise.  I think Connor's though, should've went on longer.  He was growing increasingly dependent on the shields, I'm kind of disappointed they threw that away so quickly.  I would've rather he divulged the Shields and him being part Lex with Clark in attendance.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on April 18, 2012, 03:19:28 AM
Yeah, I was surprised by how quickly they resolved it in one go, but I was also pleasantly surprised because it caught me off guard. I still think the whole Superman/boy/Lex Luthor thing will still go on though. Superboy still has daddy issues on both sides and it's not really completely resolved. As for Artemis, you never know what else can come up, because they're still family. I think the whole point of that was to show that the real traitor was Red Arrow the whole time, but they really have to elaborate on that a bit more.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 18, 2012, 03:31:48 AM
Well it was by mind control, which I found a bit weak.  I figured he was the mole the second he proclaimed that there was no mole on the team.  Made it a bit obvious.  But I figured he'd turn on the League and Team on his own accord, still annoyed by the fact that he was treated like a sidekick and then threw a hissy fit over Artemis joining the team.  He should've known that Batman and Robin likely knew her origins and wouldn't have let her within a country mile of the team unless they thought it wouldn't cause too many problems.  Hell, as of this moment it's turned out to HELP more, as Cheshire made Artemis a lot less dead.

I'm actually really annoyed that they even let Red Arrow on the League in the first place.  He whines that he gets treated like a sidekick, and then whines some more when the sidekicks decide to move on without him?  What, were they supposed to wait for his tantrum to end?  Then he's basically forced to join the Team even though he wanted no part of it, and then spent most of the time bitching at Artemis.  Everyone on the Team was much more worthy of being in the League (though obviously they can't be nominated since...you know, would kind of kill the show), so Red Arrow getting in was kind of a slap in the face.  Especially since he was the mole all along.  Seriously, was there supposed to be a time in there where he's seen as sympathetic because I'm not seeing it.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on April 18, 2012, 05:23:45 AM
Yeah, I'm surprised they let him in because of his objectionable behavior to begin with. I dunno, guess Green Arrow had some sway in this somehow, but even then, some of those choices like Plastic Man (really?) and Atom were pretty pointless anyway. Their team's fucking stacked as hell and there's no need for anyone else, much less another GA clone or weak C-list heroes, but I digress.

I'm guessing they'll explain his behavior and motives, under "mind control" to sidestep that issue or "The Light" pulled strings or whatever. It's based on comic books, so I'm not surprised some stupidity falls into place.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 18, 2012, 05:29:24 AM
Hey, don't dis Plastic Man.  He's a BEAST.  But the League just gets more people for the sake of getting more people.  It certainly doesn't hurt as long as the candidates are worthy.  JL in this continuity still seems half as big as the one from the DCAU, and it has heroes that the DCAU didn't even have, so...yeah, who the hell knows?  Plus it wouldn't surprise me if some of the team gets promoted since it seems the Teen Titans will be making their presence felt in Season 2.

As for Red Arrow, idk.  The mind control still annoys me because I don't see how you can not make it seem like an ass pull.  What, were they mind controlling him since he was Speedy?  And if not, when did they start?  I still say the story would've been a lot better served if he were in control of his actions, and was just bitter.  Though at least he isn't a drug addict like in the comics.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on April 18, 2012, 05:36:55 AM
I dunno, I tend to like it when the JL is stuck with the optimal 5-8 members like they did in the early 2000s cartoon. Having too many people obvious led to this debacle. My problem is that if they placed "trust" on the highest importance, why'd they go with Plastic Man and Red Arrow when they've got histories for problems. Hell, they dismissed Guy Gartner solely because his comrades don't like him when he's actually quite dependable, regardless of how eccentric he is.

But yeah, seeing some of the older members get promoted like Aqua Lad who's definitely developing would work out nicely. Seeing Cyborg or Raven would be pretty sweet.

Also, it sucks that the Green Lantern cartoon is in 3D. :( That sucks, I despise 3D animation for the most part.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 18, 2012, 05:53:17 AM
Well while I do like it when teams are more compact and personal, I understand the reasoning (5-8 heroes tends to not be enough on a world level).  More people in the League means more responsibilities divided which means tighter focus.  As for trust and what not, who knows?  We didn't get the full effect of the deliberations.  Hell, Dr. Fate wasn't even part of the League until this inauguration yet he was in the deliberations like he was already a member.  Plus I'm guessing Guy Gartner was just a "Hey, why not, let's bring him up" and then Hal and John were not having it.  I don't think Red Arrow got as much backlash (even though he should've) and Ollie probably fought to keep him on.

And Aqualad should be promoted.  He really doesn't need much more character development.  He's strong, a good leader, and confident.  His only flaw was his slight wavering when it came to going back to Atlantis, which I sort of had a problem with.  Not so much his conflict, but for the fact that they pretty much resolved it by making the choice for him.  He actually didn't know what to do...but then he found out his best friend and ex were hooked up, and yeah, good bye actually needing to make a choice.  They should've forced him to actually make the choice.  But yeah, other than that he doesn't really need much else.  Getting into the League would be good for him, would get Robin into the leadership spot he was supposed to have (I'm not bitter about it, but they pretty much spelled it out that it's his when he wants it), and get him out of the random ship with Rocket.

We know Beast Boy will be around somewhere, wonder if they'll throw Starfire in there.  Having her there while Robin's getting shipped with Zatanna currently would be...interesting, though idk how fans would like having to deal with another elongated Robin/Starfire deal...AGAIN.  Having Cyborg would be interesting considering the TT Cyborg's VA is currently voicing YJ Aqualad.  Idk if they'd do Raven until a while later.  I wonder with the Titans coming, if they'll also bring Deathstroke in just to fuck with YJ.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on April 19, 2012, 04:47:45 AM
Actually, in the DC Universe they have multiple Justice Leagues strewn throughout the different continents. Same as how they had different Teen Titans in different countries.

I still think that they need a little bit more before Aqualad is fully fledged as a leader, because he still has issues and that he hasn't had much screen time compared to the other members. I don't think he's 100% just yet, I think more like 90%. But if he's promoted, it wouldn't be too hard to have the VA move over to Cyborg instead. And actually, I'd have someone else as leader besides Robin, they already did that in Teen Titans and while he's a good leader, I tend to like seeing unconventional leaders like how they made Iron Man do in Avengers. They could've gone with Cap'n, but it was even better to see Iron Man step up to the plate. I'd rather see Cyborg, Miss Martian or Artemis step up to be a leader and fit into a leadership role.

Also, I can't get over how good a voice actor Jesse McCartney is. As much as I hated his silly Disney run as a popstar. He's an incredible with voice overs. Especially, with how he did Roxas, because that intro to KH2 was godlike.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 19, 2012, 05:06:20 AM
Well I really don't see anyone on the team as being capable to take over for Aqualad if he does indeed get promoted other than Robin.  Miss Martian will avoid it like the plague after the last time she tried taking over.  Connor still rages half the time.  Artemis isn't much of a leader.  Idk, maybe Kid Flash is your best bet, when he gets serious, he's the second most intelligent member of the team next to Robin.  He's one of the original members with Robin/Aqualad/Connor, and he has the potential to be the second strongest member of the team next to Miss Martian.  No guarantee we'll get Cyborg though.  While we've already been over Robin leading a team, this Robin is a complete far cry from the one on TT.  Hell, if it wasn't established that this Robin is also Dick Grayson, he'd very easily be Tim Drake as he acts like him a LOT more.  I think it might be enough to not annoy people.

As for Iron Man taking over, that's more because of how they're handling the Avengers these days.  Every single time it seems they're forming the Avengers before Cap wakes up, or while he's waking up from the freeze, making it a bad move to put him at leader, thus giving Stark the job.

And yeah, McCartney's a beast.  Roxas gave me a new respect for him.  Him and Sam Witwer went up 20 pages in my book for their VA work.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on April 19, 2012, 05:17:01 AM
Of course none of them are leadership material, but I'm one of those that likes seeing people develop into it. Basically, people that never knew that had it in them. I say that, because I'm a person that doesn't like leading people, but I eventually figured out that I can be a leader given time and familiarity.

As for the Avengers, really the only reason in most of them is that because since Stark is putting in the most amount of money and is the first one in, they let him be the leader by default.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 19, 2012, 05:21:04 AM
While that's true, I don't see many people on the team capable of growing into it other than maybe KF, though if KF became the leader, that'd be pretty awesome.  I think a lot of people watching the show take him for granted or think he's annoying.  If anything I think his character makes complete sense.

And yeah you're right, besides most members of the team don't have the all encompassing ego to call out Stark for being the leader unless he starts proving detrimental.

And I accidently saw something that partially spoiled KH3D for me...I'm praying I forget it by the time it comes out, but it's gonna be hard.  Why the hell was that video in my recommended anyway, I've only seen like two KH3D Youtube videos, and those were the trailers.  Anyway, yeah...from the title I saw (since I didn't see the actual video) and my actual faith...KH3D will be IMPOSSIBLE to skip over.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on April 19, 2012, 05:29:38 AM
Yeah, I think that'd be great for Kid Flash, because I don't like how he's basically the typical dorky character. If they made him into a leader and as a result make him grow out of his annoying behavior that would be pretty good.

As for KH3D ouch. I'm pretty sure it doesn't suck as much as having the ending of FF7 spoiled by having your friend beat the final boss in a sleepover or having someone accidentally tell you the super awesome twist of Silent Hill 2. (That one still pisses me off, because it's actually a really good one.)

Also, the Heavy Rain ending made better.

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 19, 2012, 05:41:27 AM
Well he's already growing out of his "annoying" behavior but I could understand it before.  He's a teenager that hasn't had anything supremely terrible happen to him (at least prior to joining the team).  Compare him to everyone else on it (other than Rocket who we're not sure about yet) and he has nothing to angst about really.  And things like flirting with Megan was just normal teen crap, which he quickly discarded when he found out she's dating Connor (actually, what's more surprising is that Connor didn't rage at him).  He has a calm head in battle, and is stunningly intelligent.  More I think about it, the more I think he SHOULD lead the team actually.  With his experience, growth, and the fact he's the least likely to let his "shipping" distract him from his job (the verbal beatdown he gave Artemis a couple eps ago proved that), he could do well.

And yeah...not fun knowing that.  I don't actually know the ending or anything...I just accidently saw what the final boss will be, but unfortunately unlike pretty much EVERY OTHER KH FINAL BOSS (except 358/2 Days technically, if we're not counting Riku as the FB), this one completely muffs finding out the development of the game.  While I dont' know why the FB is the FB, and I wonder how the hell we'll get to that point, I doubt it will be as shocking now unless I somehow forget.  Like seriously, up to this point every KH game final boss doesn't really spoil anything.  Not Ansem, Seeker of Darkness, not Xemnas, not Marluxia, not Xehanort, not Riku...maybe Data Roxas in Re:Coded but that doesn't count.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on April 19, 2012, 05:52:22 AM
I wouldn't say he's completely out of his immaturity yet, because like you've said, they've cut out situations where he would be. Though after that heart transplant episode and VR mission thing, he's starting to take things a little more seriously. I do like that he isn't angsty, he's really smart, obvious the science expert but whole dork thing needs to go and being a leader will be able to push him to the limits. Because up until now he hasn't really been pushing the limits of his powers and abilities. And if he's anything like Flash he can get pretty ridiculous.

Man, this ridiculous amount of fanservice on the new Lupin anime has me worried. I fear it might be falling into the trap of every anime in the last few years and putting everything into the ecchi department. I like fanservice as much as anyone else, but c'mon I want to see some serious stories already. I haven't been able to see anything since High School of the Dead (and even that was loaded with FS too) and that on hiatus right now. Japan needs to step their shit up, this is getting out of hand.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 19, 2012, 06:03:08 AM
Well like we said before, becoming the leader means you'll need growth.  I'm going on the assumption that if he's made leader, they'd have him grow into the role as well.  As for not pushing his powers, he does have to be wary of doing so, there's a reason the Flash didn't do it until he was absolutely desperate in JLU.  Push it too far, and you might as well resign yourself to an early grave.  And he should be the same (as I believe the JLU Flash was ALSO Wally West) so yeah, the potential is there.

And, correct me if I'm wrong I'm not a huge Lupin fan, wasn't the title of the new Lupin anime a dead giveaway it was gonna be filled with Fanservice?  At least that's what I gleaned from what I've seen from others talking about it.  Like I said, I was never really big on Lupin, the most I've watched it was when I was up early in the morning and it happened to be on before Detective Conan (which I stopped watching because...come on, end SOMETIME...).

Also I'm enjoying the Green Lantern:TAS.  I know a lot of people weren't big on it because of it being CGI, but honestly I forgot about it after like...episode 2.  The only thing is...the whole Aya thing is REALLY damn similar to EDI in Mass Effect.  If she starts cracking jokes, Bioware should lawyer up.

Yeah, but you don't have to push that far. Flash can do some pretty crazy shit without having to resort to the near death Speedforce debacle he had when faced with Luthor.

Not really, the title is there because it's supposed to be the story of how Lupin met up with Fujiko. It doesn't translate Fujiko's Tits Gaiden. I just hope it doesn't suck because I'm a big fan of Lupin and there's debate on Japanese forums of whether the series is worth it without the tits.

Yeah that's true, let's hope we see it.  Without the Fate Helmet, they'll have to use something else for those desperate situations.

And yeah, i guess that kind of sucks for Lupin.  But I'm kind of ignoring it, I'm just trying to catch up on anime I missed back in the day (or I watched and I can't remember because I was 8).  Finished up Outlaw Star, all Tenchi series other than that spinoff (my head hurts from the OVAs...), and Prince of Tennis.  I might hit the Gundam next, or go into some of Biobooster's recommendations.

And yeah, it's solid for now.  Nothing terribly amazing mind you, but it's solid.  Just wish Razer wouldn't stay so damn stupid.

That reminds me, I gotta do the same, except for Gundam Wing and Reboot. Never finished them entirely and always been meaning to. My problem is that I'm more concerned about handling my ever growing backlog of video games that is now well over 25 games. I need to stop shifting games all the time when I'm bored or get stuck and just finish them.

Shit, actually I need to finish those two too.  And I also have a backlog of games...Dead Island is growing increasingly annoyed at me for leaving it unfinished half way, and Dragon Age I barely started.

It's funny it's gotten so bad that that's basically why I'm so stingy with games now. I don't have time for shitty games or RPGs that waste my time (Disgaea, I'm looking at you). I've gotten to the point where my priority is to finish the games and if it pisses me off enough I shelf it indefinitely or trade it in. Which was the case with LA Noire, couldn't stand how stupid and boring the game was and how it didn't even compete with a game like Ace Attorney that had even thought it had a budget 100x its size.

It definitely doesn't help that I'm a compulsive buyer. I'll just have to shit on games harder from here on out.

Well I try to only buy games I know I'll either finish eventually, or just to finish a collection (looking at the DMC games...before they decided to release an HD collection, FUCK...just like the MGS series for me too, though I owned those on release).

Like...my next buys at this point would be KH3D for sure, and MAYBE Anarchy Reigns.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on April 19, 2012, 06:52:18 AM
I should definitely start buying to finish, but damn I'm now finishing two games that I bought 2 years ago. -__-

I think I'll skip out on Dragon's Dogma for now and focus on The Last Story, KH3D, Persona 2: Eternal Punishment, ACIII and any fighters that come during the year. And that'll be that. (Hopefully.) Especially because I need a car badly.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 19, 2012, 06:58:11 AM
Well if I'm speaking for the rest of the year, I guess I can add ACIII to the list and...idk if I'll get any other fighters.  Maybe TTT2.  And maybe RE6 (hey, hate on the story or campaigns or whatever, they haven't failed to put on a good Mercenaries mode, and now we get it from the start).
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on April 19, 2012, 07:05:30 AM
I can juggle fighters no problem and I'm going to end up focusing on KOFXIII and P4U exclusively. I don't mind playing Skullgirls, GGXXAC+ and TTT2 casually because I never really intend to dominate in those games anyway. I think SG has a ways to go, GG is too much work and I suck at Tekken but I love it to death.

I'll probably rent RE6 because of the 6 player co-op if they actually go through with it, if they don't. Fuck it. I'd beat the game once to see how stupid the plot gets and to piss off my friend Johnny with Dom Gears jokes the entire way.

You know, i used to be a HUGE DB and DBZ fan (not going to mention GT), but since the PS2 era and thanks to the tons of games i finally realized how shitty the show is.

In a series where fighting is the main thing, most fights consist of a bunch of superfast punches and kicks, beams and lasers from hands, it lacks variety of moves. And it gets worse as the series progress (maybe excluding Gotenks, he made some original moves) where it turns to whose character got the bigger penis.


Oh well, DBZ Kinect for EVO.

The Original Dragonball was overrated too.  The entire DB and DBZ series were mindless fun, which isn't a bad thing at its core, but if you want any meaningful depth or actual semblance of quality from them you're in the wrong place.  It's not bad though for a nostalgia trip or two, and individual scenes still radiate a good aura...no pun intended.  Though you could always think of DBZ as a parody to most Shounen anime...then it comes off a lot better randomly.

Though now we know why they made Ultimate Tenkaichi the way they did...it was a setup to this.

I still think Dragon Ball isn't overrated, because it never had the chance to, unless you're talking about in Japan. It was funny and not over the top like DBZ is. As for DBZ, it really is overrated, but it's a lot of great, dumb fun. I just think that once the Cell saga kicked in, things started getting stupid fast. Honestly, I still have great memories of the series and still think it's one of the greats.

Yeah, I want Dragon's Crown too, but that Vita is still too expensive.

Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 20, 2012, 09:06:14 PM
What I mean is, I think it's getting...I don't want to say nostalgia overrating, but I guess backlash overrating?

Closest thing I could relate it to is FFVI and FFIX getting a lot of new people proclaiming its greatness in lieu of turning their backs on FFVII and FFX, only you know, a lot less spiteful.  They suddenly get more praise than they initially deserve.  Not hating on those games at all, I think they're great for as much as I've seen them and haven't been able to really play them (come on, it's REALLY hard to want and go play FFVI when damn near everyone knows its story already).

But yeah, DBZ has decent moments, and there are times I'm surprised at it.  Up until the Buu Saga, there weren't that many Deus Ex Machina moments that I could think of.  Hell, actually if you think about it, most of those moments were on the Villain's side.  And I used to be a lot harder on DBZ, until I realized two things.  One, it's good as mindless fun.  And two, Toriyama was pretty much forced to take it a LOT longer than he wanted to and eventually (and unsurprisingly) he stopped giving a crap.

Post by: Proto Cloud on April 20, 2012, 09:46:37 PM
I don't know about you, but FFVI can never be overrated. I played it and it's tied for first for my best RPG list. It's just that good. Yeah, everyone knows how the story goes, but it really is about the experience, the moments and the music. As for FFIX, it's a bit overrated. I liked it, but I never really liked Kuja as a villian, the characters were kind of cheezy like that food monster thing. Also the ending boss debacle was atrocious and poorly planned and the skill system was kind of dumb. I think people overrate it in retrospect because of its throwbacks to older FFs before nixing TEH CRYSTALZ!!! I dunno about you but people still love VII and X a lot regardless. A vocal minority can't set back that the entire country of Japan thinks X is the best game ever made.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 20, 2012, 09:53:39 PM
I was throwing up examples, I don't really have an opinion on VI because I haven't played it myself, same with IX.

And I never said it was a vocal majority either, I firmly accept that I'm in the minority when it comes to DB and DBZ.  I won't comment on the FF thing because...well like I said, I haven't played VI and IX to give an actual relevant opinion on the matter.  I was just saying that there will be eventual overpraise (or overhate) of something after time of being in the spotlight for too long.

EDIT:  Also, plenty of new things to learn from Avatar: The Legend of Korra.

-Aang was 32 when Tenzin, his youngest son, was born.

-Zuko, 87, is still alive.  He turned over the position of Fire Lord to his daughter however.

- Cars in the Avatar World are called Satomobiles named after the creator of them in the Avatar world, Hiroshi Sato.

-Korra is the first person to ever tame a Polar Bear-Dog, said creatures used to be feared by the Water Tribes.

-There seemed to be some kind of military force called the United Forces, likely drawing manpower from all Nations, but there's nothing much on it.

-Also a company called Cabbage Corp...can't wait to see how that pans out.

-Mako and Bolin formerly lived off the street with a kid named Skeecho.  I'm guessing Pro-Bending was their way out.

It's interesting, Zuko was the eldest of Team Avatar and he's still alive, along with Katara.  There could be some side characters still alive as well (we know from Katara's speech that Sokka's dead, and the way Lin acts, I doubt Toph's still around).  Can't wait.

You really should at least play FFVI. It's just too good to pass up and it's such a classic. It's like saying you've never watched The Godfather.

Also, I finished Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and I'm fairly convinced it has the most annoying final boss ever made. He's a total jackass and can go to fucking hell.

Zuko being alive is pretty much the only "spoiler" and even then we don't know how big of a deal it will be anyway.  He's in his 80s, without spiritual longevity, so I doubt he'd be a badass like Bumi.  If anything, at least he'd be the one to mention what happened to his mother.

As for playing FFVI...I guess i could, it's on the DS right?

I dunno if it's on the DS, but there was an enhanced version for the GBA. Even got a secret boss the original was supposed to have. Avoid the SNES version, it's good, but the translation isn't as good as the GBA/PSX versions.

To make matters worse on Golden Sun, the game ends in a cliffhanger just as the story was getting interesting. God, this game is bad. Thanks Nintendo, guess we'll never know the ending to the story now jackasses.

- So it seems Lightningbending caught on with every damn Firebender, including Mako.

- Really pushing the Korra/Mako thing hard I see?

- Damn these Equalists are dangerous.  Chi-blocking and super tasers?

- Amon isn't related to anyone we know it seems, thank god.

- Amon knows Energybending...that's...not...good.

They're definitely pushing how damn powerful these guys are with the thrashing they gave to the new Team Avatar.  She really needs to tap into her spirituality, because the Avatar State would be REALLY helpful right now.

Yeah, I was bothered by the usage of clones. It is a very lazy writing crutch. I guess that explains him acting dumb, but doesn't explain how someone like Batman falls for a trick like that. Oh well. Either way, the action was good and I like how they resolved Superboy and Superman.

After someone told me though: I noticed Beastboy, Supergirl, Bumblebee and Cyborg made cameos.

Also, great episode of Korra today.

-Well, metalbending is common now, so i guess someone that started teaching lightning is not far fetched.
-Korra/Mako thing seems like the wet dream and 2nd prize of Zutarians, these guys (or mainly girls i guess) are truly nuts.
-Good to see non-benders kicking some asses, specially bender asses. They seem to be really competent, fresh air from the cases of useless lackeys.
-Amon seems to be a pretty cool guy so far, the mask and lack of info about him is killing me with suspense. Still i wanted to see bending taking to be more...flashy.
-Yup, Avatar State is hax, until someone kills her, which makes me think Amon will bait Korra to use it and then attempt to end the Avatar cycle. But hey, just a weak theory of mine, that's what i would do.

On a second note i wonder which spirits are the one helping or speaking with Amon, if he said the truth and is not that much crazy.

Good shit, very good stuff there, can't wait for the next episodes.

Part of me thinks he's talking out of his ass, but there are annoying ass spirits, Koh the Face Stealer anyone?

And people have been theorizing that Amon WILL take away Korra's bending so she's forced to go to the Spirit World or something and gain her spirituality to reclaim it.

Less likely it's a CVS3, probably Darkstalkers, if it's even a fighter. I just hope it's something that doesn't warrant a lot bad press again, and something I wouldn't regret buying the first version of it, whatever it is.

Post by: Mr Bakaboy on April 23, 2012, 01:58:49 AM
Your first statements would be more true if not for the fact that there were months between KOFXIII's release, and SFxT's release.  That statement works a LOT better when talking about UMvC3 as it was released a week before KOFXIII.  Those who might express interest in KOFXIII could easily go "yeah...but Marvel's coming out so I can't get a look".  Then if Marvel disappoints, they switch to the other game that came out in that time frame.  SFxT didn't really stop ANYONE from becoming interested or playing KOFXIII.  More likely than not, if you weren't interested or didn't feel like playing KOFXIII within the months of its release before SFxT drops, it's not gonna change afterwards.  It'd be like a Shin Megami Tensei coming out, seeing it, not being interested, then a Final Fantasy coming out 3 months later, and then not enjoying that.  I don't suddenly gain an interest in SMT, just because this current game happened to suck.  And if I had an interest in SMT, I had more than enough time to play it without conflicting with FF's release.

On your second point, I'll concede to you about Capcom fans calling on hate.

I never made any statement about online and what it did for the community because...honestly, other than GGPO and up until SF4's "passable" netcode, the online components for games were HORRIBLE.  And they're still bad for consoles other than Blazblue which is built around it, SFxT and Skullgirls both using Rollback, and Soul Caliber V apparently, along with random games along the way (like the REALLY older KOF's for PSN).  It was so bad to a point where...you can't even take online for Fighters into account until GGPO's start for PC, and then SF4 for consoles.  The main way to get games was the same way you got them before.

And not ONCE did I say the "Dark Age of the FGC" was great or anything of the sort.  Again, I just said, to which I will repeat, it's not as big of a hellhole as some would like to believe until SF4's release.  But it taught players true commitment and desire, something seemingly lost in not just "09ers" but even older players.  As it is now, people are more worried about playing games just for the chance of greatness, rather than enjoyment, or just playing for money.  Players aren't just looking for the next shiny thing, they throw temper tantrums when it doesn't happen fast enough, and then throw some more when it happens too fast.  Now's a time where people will bitch about how much a game sucks...but will play it anyway just because "everyone else plays it".  And the worst offender, where people will only play games just because it's "good for the community" whether or not they might actually enjoy the game or not.

For the longest time, I did have problems with people saying the old days were better, but now I'm starting to almost agree on the sense that while so many things are so much better, with information retrieval, better online play, more streams to watch play, and more events in general, one major thing changed.  The mindset of the community.  Nothing is about enjoyment, which always bothered me.  If you don't enjoy playing certain FGs then why do it?  If it EVER comes to the point where I have to do things or play things I absolutely do not want to play or do in order to stay within the FGC or continue playing FGs, that is the point I leave, and I'll have no regrets.

If you had ABSOLUTELY NO ONE to play your games with back in 03-07, then I personally apologize and am sorry for what you had to go through, I'm sure it was a tough time.  If you did, but couldn't find enjoyment, then maybe you needed Capcom games more than you think.  If you did have people to enjoy games with, then I personally don't understand why you seem to be so upset about it.  But honestly, no matter what happened back then, it doesn't mean it will happen now.  Capcom could crash tomorrow, but people would still play its games.  KOFXIII won't really benefit unless the "Shiny New" syndrome takes them over as well by way of getting a revision (hopefully FAR) down the line.  And honestly, I wouldn't want it to benefit just because something crashed.  If you didn't have interest before, I'm not gonna take you seriously now, nor should anyone.  I'd want people who actually took an interest to begin with (or after seeing the game in action or playing it themselves), since they're the people I'm more likely to enjoy playing the game with.

Personally, and I'll go real talk here, I don't give a shit what the community does.  I don't give a shit what Capcom does, I don't give a shit what anyone does, if it doesn't do anything to my enjoyment of the game.  PPV Streams, sponsors, DLC crap, bad business, whatever, I don't care.  If you don't interfere with how I enjoy the game I was given, I really don't give a shit.  If you do something to increase it, yeah, cool, great.    But if something fucks with my enjoyment, and people expect me to go along with it just because it helps the community?  Yeah, fuck that.  Even if it hurts the community, I won't go along with it if it screws with what I can do for fun, and I will not bat an eye because at least I'll be man enough to do what I want.

And I realize that half of this huge wall o' text is just a tangent rant, but it's been a long ass day and I needed to vent.  I figure you'll either discredit everything I say or whatever, but I don't have it in me to do another one of these so...don't expect a decent reply of meaning even if you kick my ass...at least not for the next couple of days.



The 1st statement was actually an all together statement with what came out back to back to back, You had MVC3, then KOF XIII, then SSFIVAE2012 patch, then Soul Calibur V, then Street Fighter x Tekken. That's a lot of high priced games ('cept for 2012 patch but it might get people to buy AE) dropping one after another. If we are talking about titles that are $15 and below I don't think it's that big of a deal, but a $40 and up titles I don't know about you but there's only so much money I can shell out on the more expensive games let alone unlockable characters, costumes, etc.

The renewed interest would come from the FGC. If everyone is still hyping KOF XIII, then joe schmoo who is looking to get into a FG might take a look at KOF XIII cause the FGC is still raving about it. Why do you think people were still just getting into 3rd Strike a decade after it released?

Online really ushered in the new FGC. Whether we like the netcode or not (and believe me I had most netcodes out there) the fact that you can play someone in a fighting game, as crappy as the match may be, was a major accomplishment. The market I was trying to point out was if new fighting games came out, then they should have been played with online in mind since 2003 there has been a push to get the games online. The FGC shunned a lot of newer titles (though most were forgettable) to play the old titles. Basically making this timeframe where FG's didn't really do much. People played the old game and shunned most of the new.

I don't think of that time as the dark ages either. More like time stood still. Personally I think the computer age made gamers look at the game in a different light. When you can look at videos of players doing crazy things on a game you gave up years ago, it makes you look at it again and say "I want to be able to do that!" So, players went from playing as a more basic level doing simple combos, to more complex combos, infinities, and generally flashy combos. IT breathed new life into what were considered old games.

The old days were better for certain people. I might be one cause I am from that age. My style is simple. I don't like practicing all day doing impossible combos. I love working on strategy instead. I am a dinosaur when it comes to this age. Online kills my game cause it slows down what I am capable of and adds a level of difficulty to reading movements of your opponent by the lag constantly being different. For people who like the combos, infinites, and overall flashiness it's a great new day cause no longer is general talent going to stop players from winning. If you practice long enough at learning the combos, to a certain extent, you have very few limits with how good you can be.  Fighters now are built for the newer generation. Not old farts like me.

I'm not really angry at all. Unless you count the FGC shitting on this and that game without giving any of them a chance or understanding why people liked the older games, or why people might like a certain game even though it might not be your cup of tea. I have my own preferences, but I always try to keep an open mind. I may like KOF XIII, and I am not the biggest fan of SSFIV, but I still own and play them. I also try to understand the merits of why people like said game. Most of the people on the other boards (personally I have mass respect for this site in general) like to crap on a game without even understanding why you are crapping on it.

For example SVC Chaos is a widely crapped on game. I'll ask the question why. I get Geese can do infinites. So?!? Not the easiest ones to pull off and he is only unlockable through a code on the arcade version. Serious Mr Karate and Shin Akuma are ridiculous. THERE BOSSES!!! What do you think they play like??!? Ryu is boring. Ryu plays like Ryu from SF2. He has mad priority on DP and good distance and Hurricane Kick. Ryu has never really been the character with the most moves. Guile is cheap. Well Guile has to either charge for Sonic Boom or charge for Flash Kick so you have to attack accordingly. The game is too hard to do moves on. It take time to learn the execution. This goes on and on, but most people's arguments get ridiculous. 

In the same breath you bring up a game like MVC2 (to which is not my cup of tea but I respect it) it has infinites that are relatively easy to master. Assist characters that you can spam like crazy and general brokeness that makes 10 characters out of 50 or so the only ones people play and that is considered one of the best games of that decade. Again I have no qualms with it and do play it from time to time with friends, but the logic the FGC community has in branding one game great and another a turd astounds me.

I actually did find plenty of competition through that time actually. My arcades locally did dry up in the early '00's I did have a community of friends that played fighters and got to play quite a bit. We made due and sometimes drove 50 miles or more to get to the bigger arcades. I was lucky when I moved to St. Louis in 05 that they had a good community as well. It dried up a few years later, but for 2 years I got a lot of good games in there as well.

Now I am in the family life and can't get into the local FGC like I used to. Online is what I have a chance to play. I am not angry. Sad sometimes cause I miss playing people in offline settings, but I have hope in a couple of years the online will truly be powerful enough to support the FGC to the point where old farts like me aren't so handicapped with the new games.

My opinions are merely that, opinions. I may come on strong and I find people trying to be on defense when debating with me, but personally I enjoy a good debate. I like to get my feelings across of how I feel of the FGC. FG's have been my main video game entertainment for years now (though I do play other games). When it comes down to it if the FG market crashes it won't bother me that much. A little, yes, but when it comes down to it I play a lot of older titles enough to get my entertainment in fighting games. What makes me sad is to see the players go, but like everything people come and go. Hopefully you can collect a few to play with over the years. I still play my ex-roommate who I have really played the most through the years even though we live 4 states or so away. If I pissed you off I apologize. No harm ment.

No not mass exodus, but more hate yes. The more critics you hear, the more people will turn to another game just cause player a said it's crap. Why do you think KOF has had such a hard time over the years? Capcom fans crap over KOF then other players hear and think I'm not wasting money on that.
Reason people trashed KOF because they had a string of bad games and terrible ports. The hate was justifiable. I'm not sure where you were in the old KOF days, but it was anything but good. And that's not counting that the only KOFs that people cared about were 98 and 2k2. I don't know what you're talking about.

Quote
The genre basically froze from 2002 till 2008. Online got it started but what NEW games then really got the fans going? VF4. Niche community. I know since I played VF4 and hung around a few. DOA3? Never really got a lot of attention too bad cause it was better then DOA4 or DOA2 IMHO. Guilty Gear XX Reload close to the same as Guilty Gear X which was very similar to Guilty Gear. It's the SF2 of updated games. Also the community was small. I played in that one as well.
VF4 sold very well because it came at a perfect time when people were pissed over the Tekken 4 debacle. Both versions. DOA3? That sold REALLY well and it was a launch title! It definitely had a lot of attention. GGXX was NOTHING like GGX or GG. Because it didn't suck. Both its predecessors had major issues and GGXX blew up more than any other versions before and those weren't revisions. Also the community was very big when it came out. Are you talking out of your ass? You're really off.

Quote
The only big market new game back then was Tekken and they were reeling from the backlash of Tekken 4. Tekken 5 I didn't see a big rise till DR came out which was 2006. KOF XI I was in an arcade with that game in there and it did minimal numbers. CVS2 probably had more plays and MVC2 definitely did. KOF02 was not a big player in arcades in the US unless you had a strong Mexican community. It gained attention slowly more from online matches. SVC flopped, Sam Sho V flopped, Sam Sho V Spec nobody really had.
Even with Tekken 4 being awful, it still sold and so did 5. People respect 5 for the most part, but they made a terrible mistake on not coming out with DR on consoles, instead of keeping on the PSP as long as they did. The fighters that stood strong were VF4, T5/DR, CvS2, MvC2, 3S, SCII/III and the latest version of DOA.

Quote
Online opened up a lot of gaming, yes but looking at xbox what were people mostly playing. CVS2, 3rd Strike, SF2. I was all over the SNK games and it was hard to get games compared to Capcom, Guilty Gear dropped like a rock after a few months, Dead or Alive 2 got same decent plays but that was almost time for the 360 to come out and DOA 4 to split the players on which game to play.
GG didn't drop like a rock, the online netcode sucked, but it still got a great community. DOA2 got A LOT of play online. DOA4 didn't split shit. Everyone flocked to it and little stayed behind for 2. Only split was for players playing DOA3.1.

Quote
360 before SFIV was SF2, DOA4, UMK3 (kinda slow) , and FF Special (which was so-so on players just like xbox 180 SNK games). The players gravitated to the same Capcom and Namco titles over and over. If you could get games in something else you like (say KOF 02 or 03, or FFS) you basically had to get on SRK to schedule matches. If not you usually had a long wait or played the one lag playing jerk who was always online and dropped if he lost.
You forget Battle Fantasia and Soul Calibur IV.

Quote
So, talk to me about how great 03 - 07 was. Tell me how everybody was playing all these new titles. Personally maybe Chicago and St. Louis are just too small of areas to have FGC. Maybe going to communities like West side of Chicago which is Mexican side to play KOF, the Midway testing arcade on the south side of Chicago, or going to arcades in St. Louis that closed at 11P.M. when the place was jumping doesn't give me an accurate assessment of how the FGC really was. Or how about the tournaments in Chicago that I went to that mostly consisted if the same games mentioned earlier with VF4 getting play the 1st year it was released then dropped. I must not know anything I am talking about.
Yeah, you must not, because you live in an alternate dimension, sorry. I had people play whatever when you're looking in the right places.

Quote
It'd be like a Shin Megami Tensei coming out, seeing it, not being interested, then a Final Fantasy coming out 3 months later, and then not enjoying that.  I don't suddenly gain an interest in SMT, just because this current game happened to suck.  And if I had an interest in SMT, I had more than enough time to play it without conflicting with FF's release.
Basically, this.

I am trying to unserstand to this is an honest question, but when did you get into FG's. I've read a few of your statements and it seems like you started after the youtube era. It makes a lot of difference cause a lot of opinions about fighters are way different if you didn't have the internet to look stuff up on.

To answer your KOF where was I question. I was playing KOF. '99 I owned on Dreamcasy and had fun except for the added strikers on DC got a little crazy, but they were not on MVS. I thought it's a fun game at the time. Now it's hard to get into cause it feels basic and the back roll that you end up where you started drives me nuts.

'00 I give you is messed up I bought it on Neo Geo AES when it came out. On a competitive level you can spam a lot of the striker B.S. and do a lot of crap that kills the game for me. Thought, like you said, it's kinda expected given what was going on with SNK. Though I still liked playing it with friends.

'01 I bought on AES when it 1st came out. It's a pretty balanced system. A lot of tournaments show many defferent fighters being used. That's a sign of a good game IMO. Hatred for music, artwork, or cause the combo system is not '02 is just personal opinion.

'03 I played on xbox quite a bit. Except for Duo Lon and Malin B.S. I had a lot of fun with this. I can see the hate for the aforementioned characters, but I don't see the hate as a bad game. Just not a great game.

XI I played in the arcades. To me this was a blast and a good game. Are there elements that can be abused, yes, but compared to other titles out there it's not ridiculous. I know I am not alone in the thought that this was a good game either. I know a lot of XIII players say that this was the start for their KOF gaming.

DOA3 was on a system that nobody bought for fighting. The only reason they bought it was Halo. DOA3 was an afterthought. The FGC stayed with PS2 till CVS2 came out where online brought in the FGC by then though there wasn't a real interest in DOA3.

GGXX I might give you cause of the EX modes. I forget cause online people pitched a fit in selecting any of them, however still to me it feels like the jump from KOF '97 to '98. Really similar. I didn't miss a beat with any character I played on dreamcast. Compare that to playing KOF'98 then KOF '02. That was my point. Though like I said I might give you the point there.

The community was not that big for Guilty Gear ever. I had it on xbox when it came out. It lasted a couple months. Offline I could only get a few into it. The arcade machines I saw never got the action that any Capcom game would. Once in a while I would see someone playing it. There is a top player in St. Louis in GGXX and whenever I saw him in the arcade he was NOT playing Guilty Gear. Not cause he wouldn't want to I'm sure but people just didn't want to play. So, maybe where you are it blew up, but where I was it did not.

Tekken 4 did sell, but the communities disbanded pretty quick IMO. Compared to Tekken Tag I didn't see serious Tekken action in the arcade till Tekken 5DR. This doesn't mean people didn't play Tekken at all. IT seriously slowed down for a bit though. I forgot about Soul Calibur but where I was Saoul Calibur 2 was the played game. 3 didn't do as well cause the changes were not well met. I knew people that played it, but it jsut wasn't as played as 2. Also cause Link and Heihachi was a good selling point for 2. Also reason why 4 had Vader, Apprentice, and Yoda.

DOA had a fanbase but 2 & 4 split the crowd like I said earlier. 4 got more attention from 360 users for simply being a launch title. However I didn't see DOA4 making tournament rounds like crazy. Maybe I'm mistaken.

BTW if you use the netcode as a reason why people split then why were people still playing CVS2? 3rd Strike played awful as well. That game always had players. If people wanted to play the game, then they would have played. Heck SVC's community lasted longer then GG's and people crap all over that game.

Again. I'm answering your questions without insults. If you want to debate more please try to do the same or I'll just ignore you. I've been in too many flame wars to bother with getting into another one. We are just exchanging opinions. Neither one are correct. Just opinions.

TL;DR. I don't feel like reading and I'm not exactly a fan of your posts. I was just posting the facts man. I've kept track of NPD numbers, and have been a part of various communities and the like. Just pointing those out. It ain't opinion, try saying that at SRK and see how fast you get shut down. Also, your defense of KOF '01 and SvC doesn't help. Both games were shit and everyone knows it. People shit on CFJ too.

Also, if you don't want to hear insults, you're talking to the wrong person.

Less likely it's a CVS3, probably Darkstalkers, if it's even a fighter. I just hope it's something that doesn't warrant a lot bad press again, and something I wouldn't regret buying the first version of it, whatever it is.

If it's Darkstalkers, I can almost guarantee it's going to be shit.

So your arguement is if SRK doesn't like it it's shit? Great arguement since most of the newbies just follow a few people and have no decent arguement back or go with telling technical jargon hoping that makes them sound intelligent enough to win. Short message I mainly want to ask YOUR reason why you hate those games. Not someone else's reason.If you hate a game you must have a reason other then it's shit.

*sigh* I played them. They're poorly balanced, rush jobs that have little to no redeeming value in its broken mechanics or shit design. There's a reason both '01 and SvC never had communities and that's because they're no good piles of donkey shit. (Hell, most people I've talked to unanimously agree that '01 may be the worst KOF next to XII) It's the same damn reason no one plays CvS1, CFJ, KOF:MI, SFA, MSHvSF or SFEX3. They're inherently bad games that could easily be replaced with much better and more competitive games. (In this case 2k2 and CvS2)

I thought we buried the hatchet long ago on why they're bad to begin with. Honestly, if you want to try, please explain to me in detail what's so great about both of them and why I shouldn't just let them go for much better titles?

I thought it was common sense '01 and SvC Chaos were horrible. Not just SRK, but pretty much nearly every site with Neo-Geo/SNK fans gather, they all agree those two were terrible. Save 1 guy on GameFaqs who constantly makes new threads about SvC Chaos asking for an English version of the game to be released on PS2 or PSN.

It's not hard to see why both '01 and SvC Chaos were bad. Both games have incredibly stupid crap to them, tons of broken shit, not to mention the presentation and music in both are terrible compared to previous titles made by SNK.

Again examples? You sit there are say it's bad. I ask why you say what other people say. I ASKED YOU WHY? Why do you hate it? There's the problem.. There has never really been a good reason why.

I never said it's a great game. I even said reasons why it's hated. REAL REASONS. Look at the combo videos. Finding infinities for this game is a lot harder then you think, and most have to do with using an assist character which takes a super stock.. I found 4 (1 I think it character specific and Kula who works off the wall but can get there with a slide but takes a bit of effort) which for a completely broken unbalanced game is not that big of a deal. Compare that to 2002 which has a bunch. Garou has brokenness with Kevin Rian MVC2..... not going there. Hell Kof 99 is a ton. Yet KOF 2001 is slim pickings. WHERE'S YOUR PROOF THAT THIS IS A BROKEN GAME?!?!?

Now balance. I'm going through videos.

MWC KOF 2001: Dark Geese vs. Cesar (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BECrzX_Byg#)

 Found ones with Dark Geese who would use every glitch in the book whenever I see anything and all I see him use is Kula's. It's bad but if that's it it looks tame compared to "Good" games I see out there. Considering banning 1 character in a tournament on a game that has 40 or so is minimal.

kof'2k1 tournament "Japan VS Korean" n'1 (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PzQ2nai7E9Q#)

Here's a Japan vs Korea tournament and I see lots of different characters being used. A badly balanced game would have people playing the same characters over and over yet I see a bunch of different ones being used. AGAIN WHERE'S THE UNBALANCED?!?! I hear people yelling it's crap yet that's all I hear.

Now the reasons I KNOW that's it's hated is music, ending artwork, and compared to 2002 combo system, this is boring. Having to use Super Stocks to do long string combos is not for a lot of KOF fans. To me it's a matter of preference, not a bad game. If that's the case MVC2 should be hated cause the music was shitty, the graphics were horrid with bad 2d sprites and 3d backgrounds. Yet we all play that right?

I thought it was common sense '01 and SvC Chaos were horrible. Not just SRK, but pretty much nearly every site with Neo-Geo/SNK fans gather, they all agree those two were terrible. Save 1 guy on GameFaqs who constantly makes new threads about SvC Chaos asking for an English version of the game to be released on PS2 or PSN.

See above for the most part. I can do a list of SVC but tired of typing all this crap out for now. Main thing is, if everyone says it's shit in the FGC it doesn't necessarily mean it's shit. Mostly it means nobody want to go to bat for the game. With KOF 01 I understand why. It's not a preferred game for a lot of people. Not hated, just not well liked. The FGC craps on games cause it can all the time. Hell SFIV is crapped on quite a bit by half the populous and it seems to have quite the following. MVC3 is considered a pile of crap by most and it makes the tournament rounds time after time. If you are not aware that the FGC craps on games and have no real good reason by now I'm surprised. KOF 2001 is something people hated for simple reasons and made it worse then what it was for some reason. Personally I have no idea why.

BTW I do play SVC a lot yes, but honestly I don't play KOF 2001 very much. I just hate seeing hate for a game just cause you don't care for something simple.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Running Wild on April 23, 2012, 10:25:50 PM
All I'll say is, there is a reason why people are still playing 98/2k2, and not any of the KOF's inbetween.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Ronald Jenkees Edition
Post by: Mr Bakaboy on April 23, 2012, 10:43:29 PM
Yeah cause they're Dream Matches. Most bang for the buck. Always been the case. Why does everyone play Super Street Fighter II Turbo? Most characters with most game speed. Why do most people play Marvel vs Capcom 2? Most characters. The list goes on and on. Why do you want to play a game that has less then the other game and is superior to it?

Nobody wants to come to the aid of KOF 01 cause it was ordinary at best. Who wants to defend a game they really don't play? My problem is if you want to rip on a game have valid reasons why other then SRK says so. If you prove me wrong, and you might, I'm not the guru of KOF '01, then more power to you. All I see is a game people play competitively that people use a bunch of characters on. Don't know much else.

Post by: Mr Bakaboy on April 24, 2012, 12:02:05 AM
MVS wise I wouldn't doubt it. I've seen it in a lot of arcades. Not to open up a can of worms but the major issues I saw with SVC was the controls were unforgiving like KOF XIII, however, from a simple basic gameplay knowledge. The game has characters, like Guile, who you can spam moves right off the bat and get results. Never mind that he has drawbacks like the sonic boom and flash kick can't be charged at the same time or the supers that do the most damage (flash kicks) have a hard strict motion to pull them off making him vulnerable to jump ins when spamming the quick sonic boom. People who play SF won't do that for fear of the Sonic Boom Flash Kick BS.

Thing is it has a learning curve and if you don't give it time SVC is easy to toss aside as a waste of a game. I bought it on AES, played it one month, got spanked by easy spams, then tossed it away for 1 year. I get the hate for it. I give SVC credit as to why I won't just say a game is shit anymore without giving it a good look and having good reasons. Am I calling it a great game? No, it has it's major faults, but it is still fun and different then just plugging in the same characters with the same moves and controls. It had a different feel to it I liked.

Boy, you're dense, I told what I didn't like outta the game on the most basic of levels on top of the awfully broken ratio system. I wasn't talking about infinites, I wasn't talking about balance. I'm talking about how it's an awful game. Just like how I could care less of how "balanced" SFxT is or how it doesn't have infinites, it's still an awful game. You're really going to compare 01 to Garou and MvC2? You're fucking outta your damn mind. Both are fantastic and fun games. Their play increased because of how much depth persistent in the game. I could care less how "broken" they are. They both have great mechanics and are a blast to play. Don't start dragging in games just because you don't like them. I'm not going to shit on 3S, just because I don't like how the system works or how bullshit Yun and Chun are in the game.

Basically, a game is only as worthwhile as its community IMO. Because honestly it never fails. If you've got a shit community (from a global mindset), you've got a shit game. Let's look at DOA and SC. Both series being terrible as of recent and as a result, having terrible communities as a result of a bad game. I could even say to a certain extent that Blazblue is in the same category to an extent. And for the record I never like '99. It had some of the worst versions of many characters and was loaded with bugs.

Also, Dark Geese will play anything anyone else doesn't because he's a match dodging fraud who's scared to lose. So I could care less about those videos.

Look bro. Every damn game in the FGC gets crapped on nowadays. Gotta make that extra clear.

Seriously, people are bunch of babies and will whine about Marvel 3 because they can't handle the bullshit that comes standard for the series. (Most of them 09ers) You either like it or you don't. It's a very competent game and the only legitimate complaint I have ever heard is X-Factor. As for SFIV, there's a reason it's popular, it's solid. It's boring, but it's a solid game nonetheless. Those who want to shit on it are basically haters. I don't like it, but I respect it. Their strong communities despite the hate show that.

Comparing SvC and KOF'01 to them is foolish and your SNK fanboyism is clouding your judgment. Why don't you go out and have some variety in your fighting games for once.

Your name suits you btw.

98UM and 2k2UM are on a different arcade system than XIII.

China will probably play XIII when Climax comes out.

I could have sworn that KOF UM series is running off a Taito Type X and so is XIII. what are they running off of then. So China is going to go crazy and but up a ton of the 200 units they are going to sell worldwide? KOF XIII is an arcade game right? So the last comment is for........ I'm lost.

98UM and 2k2UM both run on TaitoTypeX, KOFXIII runs on TaitoTypeX2.

98UM was ported to PGM-2, which is much cheaper hardware, and it is also available on Taito's Nesica X Live, along with 2k2UM.

TAITO NESiCA x Live - Revolutionary arcade game delivery system : DigInfo (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ND7DFcbHLrc#ws)

Obviously since KOFXIII had updates in the console version, there isn't gonna be much competition for the game since the arcade version is now obsolete. Look at Street Fighter IV, same thing happened when Super came out on console, game dropped off the radar in Japan, despite still being present at SBO that year, nobody cared about vanilla SF4 anymore. It wasn't until the new arcade release the game picked up steam again, which is what Climax will address.

Okay thanks for clearing up the arcade thing. Wasn't KOF XIII out since 2010? So, what caused the other countries not to touch KOF XIII in the 1st place? I mean the Raiden bug was nasty, but there has always been a big buzz about XIIi. Where's the decision not to pick up XIII coming from? Money wise I hear 02UM is big there and from what I'm getting of your post that was not ported to the cheaper hardware. Street Fighter IV vanilla had the big fanbase when it was just an arcade title from what I hearrd (not 100% on that cause never kept up on foreign sales figures).

I suspect in many areas that already had a KOF presence, especially 2k2 or 98, XIII may have felt inferior due to being easier or smaller movelist per character, and XII probably did some damage at first too. SFIV got by on being an official sequel for the SF brand-name after I don't know how many years, with several changes. I wonder how XIII would've been received if there was still a strong arcade scene in the US.

I wonder how XIII would've been received if there was still a strong arcade scene in the US.

It was kinda the original point. IMO (and of course I could be wrong. Don't know how the arcades out there work), but it seems like this time you had to make the crowd choose between graphics and balance, or characters, and moves since all 3 games were relatively new.  Whenever I had FGC over and hosted games it seemed like most went for  newer games. This time the choice doesn't seem as clear cut giving the titles are all new.

Proto Cloud: As I said before many times I am offering an opinion. I don't believe I am absolutely right or that any of what I say is fact. I think you got confused over me validating myself as knowing what I am talking about in a general sense, to meaning whatever I say is the gospel truth. It's my experiences. The Chicago and St. Louis area are going to be different then the California area, which is different then the NYC area. Heck I talk to my ex-roommate in Grand Rapids, Michigan and his main place to play seems foreign to me. Chuck E Cheeses?!? I guess they stock up over there. I went to the local one out here and all they had was King of Fighters Neowave. I can't imagine the crowds you would get in a kids place like that for fighting games. Boggles my mind.

BTW I don't hold a grudge man. Personally I thank you. I found your argument fun. A little secret though I can take quite a bit of insults. The warning was to help you. I was hoping to keep you from getting worked up. You don't seem like the type that takes insults too well. Personally I tried to keep it as clean as possible to prevent you from holding grudges and getting up in arms over the debate. I got a little carried away when you started talking about facts. It was a blast to pop holes in the facts just cause you used the word.

It's just opinions man. Nobodies absolutely right. I certainly don't feel like I am cause I play these games quite a bit, yes, but I'm not one looking for infinities and bugs so I go by what I find on youtube. Someone can come right in here with more info and prove me wrong. Happens all the time.

Let me extend the olive branch. No hard feelings.

Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Proto hates everything Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on April 30, 2012, 12:10:19 AM
And they wasted no time bringing in the Shipping Homewrecker.

Yesterday just seemed like a bad day for shippers everywhere.  First Young Justice, and then Korra...I could see the anger from all the way over here.

As for the actual episode, yeah, solid enough.  Nice to see that Korra isn't as self-assured as she seemed.  It makes sense that her whole sense of security is tied to her bending, which makes Amon extra fearsome to her.

Amon also showed why he's a very intelligent antagonist.  He ignored Korra's call for a 1 on 1, brining his cronies anyway, he denied the chance of an actual fight.  And he kept her bending intact.  Now normally, that last part is typical stupid villain fare that ALWAYS blows up in their face, but in this case, he was very correct in doing so and even stated why.  As it is now, he has a solid following, however whatever following he has probably isn't gonna stand up to the might of three pissed off nations coming down on him for taking out the Avatar.  On top of that, Korra serves him a lot better alive.  With her brashness, she's likely going to grate on people the wrong way, especially non-benders, which will drag more people to his cause.

However I still don't know how Amon will execute his endgame.  While it seems non-benders do outnumber benders, I doubt he'll get every single one to his cause, and if it's a 1:1 ratio between benders and non-benders, even if they're all chi-blockers, I do not like their chances.  I'm gonna guess that his best shot is sort of like the thing that happened in The Incredibles.  Shame the benders so bad they're forced into hiding or submission while non-benders take all seats of political power.  Don't know how he'll do it though.

Kinda seems like DC vs Dark Horse to me. Guys who punch through chests and tickle spines vs Guys who can make your head explode with their pinky finger. Just seems like MK has a serious disadvantage. Though DC vs MK was more ridiculous so.......

As long as Arksys makes it I might try it. Still crying over the play control of DC vs MK.

lolno.  They'll just go to the next shooter.  Platformers don't look any more appetizing to people just because they lost a game to shoot people in.

Only way Platformers and Beat 'em ups come back is if Nintendo somehow dominates a Console War so thoroughly Microsoft and Sony bow out in shame and Nintendo is the only one in town.

And Dynasty Warriors hasn't been relevant since like...Dynasty Warriors 2.

Except DW is a hack n' slash/button masher and Diablo 3 is officially Fisher Price Diablo now.

Beat 'em ups are like Final Fight, God Hand and Streets of Rage. I wish we'd get sequels for all them. Real talk.

Honestly though, I still think the only reason shooters are still top dog are the post-9/11 "AMERICA FUCK YEAH!"/Gun Wank mentality combined with the new brain dead shooter mechanics.

Except that those making Unreal and Quake...aren't Activision.  Thus it should have no effect on them.  If anything, COD going down would screw them as it would straight terrify anyone wanting to make a shooter again.

Quality isn't really as important as business success and unfortunately, in these days those two do not go hand in hand.  Even so, with COD out, it gives lesser companies some actual leeway in making the kind of shooters they want honestly.  As long as they don't put pressure on themselves to be the next big thing, they'll do just fine in the niche department with a focus on quality.

^^ The game is stupid easy now, most of your stats and attributes are automatically assigned for you, the game is bright and cheery, always online DRM, Real money auction house and still manages to look barely like an improvement over its predecessor, despite being in development for like 8 years. Fuck Blizzard, they're a bunch of lazy shits. In the span of its time in development, there's been games like Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, The Witcher, Dragon Age, and etc. that look vastly better anyway. Can't wait to see them put Warcraft 4 in development for the next 10 years only to have it play exactly like 3 but with stupid changes and slighter better visuals. >_>

If shooters go dead, so do Activision. That's basically their last big franchise, besides Spider-man and that's been getting hit. Lately, they've done nothing but run every big franchise they've had into the ground. So, in actuality, quality does go in hand with success, because if not Guitar Hero and Tony Hawk would've survived regardless. I think the real issue is gaming journlolism and how fucking awful it is. But that's a rant for another day.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Proto hates everything Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on May 03, 2012, 05:00:50 AM
Except the difference with those two cases is that Guitar Hero actually did have quality, but essentially was usurped almost immediately by Rock Band which added more instruments and updated their song lists through DLC, rather than Activision doing Expansions of old.  For GH, it was simply a matter of not adapting fast enough along with Rhythm games just really being a fad if anything.

Tony Hawk, usurped by Skate, and the fact that...skating just got less and less popular as the years went on.  I mean, the most well known skaters outside of Hawk these days are Dyrdek, Sheckler, Margera and Koston and only one of them is due to their actual ability to skate (Koston if you haven't figured it out).  TH would've only went so long anyway, even without Activision running it into the ground or if it was the best skate simulator on the market.

Yeah, if shooters go dead, so does Activision.  But since COD is essentially carrying the torch, it will be ITS death that causes the genre to go.  Not because of the quality so much, but because COD has been such a surefire success, its death will scare all other companies from actually trying to make one themselves.  But by COD existing, quality of the games or not, it allows other companies to do what they want to do in their shooters without too much pressure in being the next big Blockbuster, unless you want to be stupid and try to call out COD on it, in which case you probably screwed yourself no matter the end result of your game.

I dunno what you are talking about. Stupid easy? What do you base that on? The VERY first quest of the game where you go kill the Skeleton King? That's barely dipping into the waters. There's 4 difficulty levels now too... Hell mode in D2:LOD was a nightmare in one of the later patches without godly tier gear.

Honestly, I'd rather have stats/attributes automatically assigned, although it means less customization, at least your character goes through a natural progression and you don't have to worry about having too little or too much in stats, it balances the game out better.

What I like about D3 is the new skill system, no more trying to calculate builds, you pick the skills you think work well together, customize them with the runes you want to enhance them, and you have a field day.

Bright and cheery? Dunno what you are talkin about... game seemed plenty dark to me, maybe not as dark as Diablo 2 could be sometimes, but still pretty gritty.

Only thing I dislike about the game is the always on thing, that's really annoying if you just want to go solo.

Auction House on the other hand, I look at it this way, yeah, trading items for real money is dumb, but it'll at least the players that want to do it won't be getting scammed on ebay, plus you can buy items for in-game gold as well, and one of the problems with D2 was that gold was worthless, at least this way it'll be worth something.

I mean let's face it, trading in D2 was a nightmare because of trade hacks and all sorts of scams because of semi-character bound items like Gheed's Charm which could only be "traded" by dropping it.

Diablo 3 IMO made alot of nice improvements to Diablo 2 making for a much more faster paced action oriented game, with more functional streamlined features.

I really wouldn't call Blizzard lazy shits, considering they aren't pumping out annual sequels like EA and Activision. I remember waiting for Diablo 2, it was quite a wait, but it was worth it, and the game enjoyed a pretty long period of gameplay. I hope Diablo 3 is even greater.

Honestly, Izlude get off Blizzard's dick for a second, stop making excuses for the game's bad decisions to make the game like WoW and go play Dark Souls and tell me that's not what Diablo 3 should've been and that took 2 FUCKING years to make. And they're under Activision right now and they've managed to have pumped out expansion after expansion for WoW and managed to make Starcraft II without one new race and scant new features. They're fucking lazy as shit because they know they'll sell over a million copies every game they make now.

I'm sorry, I just get tired that some companies get a free ride every time and everyone's like "LEIK OMG THERE TEH BEST DEVS EVAR!!!" >_> Get that shit outta here. I'm pretty sure Path of Exile and Torchlight II are going to be even better and took far less pointless delays for this nonsense for 15 bucks a piece. I honestly don't see where all that time and effort went into.

Anyways, SATSU!!!

Which difficulty should I play Birth by Sleep on? I know that KH is usually pretty easy, but sometimes games like this make hard difficulties stupid and unfun.

Post by: Running Wild on May 04, 2012, 04:31:27 AM
Dude, I dunno what you are talkin' about. I played both Demons Souls and Dark Souls, and I think they were great games, although I liken them to something more along the lines of an more mature oriented Zelda game than something like Diablo. Diablo is Diablo dude, the original classic point n' click dungeon crawlin' hack n' slash RPG epic. That's what Diablo is, and should always be.

Diablo is the only game from Blizzard I played for a long time really, I could give two shits about WoW (Or Starcraft) and honestly, Diablo 3 is nothing like WoW. Lots of games get expansions, online games are no stranger to that territory, and I'm expecting Diablo 3 to get one as well like Diablo 2 (And Diablo 1 to an extent) did back in the day.

I played Diablo 2+LOD for a pretty long time, I think Diablo 3 is looking like a major improvement over D2LOD, which was already a great, although flawed, game.

Quit hatin' so much.

Honestly, Normal on BBS is plenty satisfying, but if you really want to make it so you have to use every part of the system (other than D-Links, they're nigh worthless), then feel free to do the upper difficulties.  Just don't do the upper difficulties and attempt to take on the secret bosses unless you want to kill yourself.

Now that we are kinda talking about RPG's, what is the general consensus about the Persona series? And by Persona series i mainly mean the enhanced versions of P3 and P4, my story goes like this:
All games are the PSP version.

Got the first Persona, and as soon i controled my character i didn't like it, maybe the game didn't age that well in my eyes (even if it was my first time playing it)

Got Persona 3, again for PSP, i admit i didn't like that you have to move a cursor to talk to the characters and can't remember where i left it, but i was no more than 20~30 minutes of playtime when i put the game in limbo.

Didn't get Persona 2.

After seeing Persona 4 for Vita and the Fighting game i think it looks interesting and i'm thinking about going back to the previous games (mainly 3 and 4), but hey, i need some non-biased opinions.

I'm not the biggest RPG fan, but i enjoy one once in a while.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Proto hates everything Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on May 04, 2012, 11:34:22 AM
Persona 1 is horribly dated. It's incredibly oldschool and unless you like olden dungeon crawlers you're not going to like the game at all. I liked it a fair bit because I'm used to first person dungeon crawls, but I wouldn't really recommend it because the game becomes bullshit fairly quickly and if you're not a vet of SMT, you're going to get crushed easily. I still have bad memories of the Snow Queen Quest. The only reason you'd ever want to play it is if you want to see how it ties into P2, because some of the characters make cameos or become playable there. It's not necessary to play P2 though.

Persona 3 on the PSP is a mixed bag. It's not the definitive version of the game, but it has the ability to play as a female and have new social links. I'd suggest you'd get the FES version on the PS2/PSN. It doesn't have those problems you mentioned because of the PSP's memory limits. You'll be able to travel on foot, than on a cursor and not just see talking portraits. It also has the epilogue where you play as Aegis and wraps up the entire story nicely. (Which incidentally ties to the Persona Fighting game.) The problem with the console version though, is that the menus don't look as nice, longer load times, and none of the improvements of 4. So, no dizzy and no control over your teammates. Overall, the game is pretty good, but the plot really drags on in the middle with few important or interesting events. I only ever suggest P3P for people that played and loved FES and want a bit more.

Persona 2 is great, has awesome characters and has a fantastic storyline. It's only real weakness is that it's brutally easy. I'd suggest sticking to Hard mode (which is still too easy), but the game still doesn't get hard until the end. It's also surprisingly short, but I think that's a good thing. To avoid confusion, Innocent Sin is the first half of the story and Eternal Punishment being the conclusion. Did I mention you can battle Hitler and Nazis in this game?

Persona 4 is easily the best out of the bunch and the easiest to get into. Has a strong emotionally charged storyline, great characters, AMAZING VOICEACTING (I can't stress this enough, Troy Baker <3), and a pretty decent combat system. My only issue is that it's difficulty curve is wonky. It's hard at first, then gets significantly easier, then progressively harder. The Vita version is looking to be a definitive version unlike P3P, with all features intact, then better graphics, more story events, more voiceovers, new personas and social links. It's also portable and I love grinding on work breaks.

----

Izlude, I'll quit hating on Blizzard if they'd actually stop releasing the same games with no improvements on a 10+ year cycle. It's fucking ridiculous. I don't care how oldschool it is, the fact you wasted so much time to make something so average is appalling. It's sad that the last great game they made was Warcraft III because that was actually a vast improvement over II. As is such, if they're charging 60 bucks for an "old school" experience, I'd rather take it on something cheaper like Torchlight, instead of some overhyped bullshit. I don't see how such an acclaimed studio gets a free pass to make cheap, dated games with no originality whatsoever over and over. Even Last time I checked Skyward Sword didn't play like Zelda 1. Fuck Blizzard.

Proto, under that same mindset, I can say the exact same shit about SF4 or MvC3.

How can you say they keep releasing the same games with no improvements on a +10 year cycle? Seriously? Especially when it's only 2 games they waited years to make sequels for only recently, and saying there were no improvements is a load of bullshit after I spent a weekend with the Diablo 3 beta. The game is awesome.

Who cares if they aren't pumping out sequels more often and they are sticking to the formula it's best known for? If it ain't broke, why fix it? I think the improvements to the skill system is the best change in Diablo 3, you can actually have multiple skills now, instead of swapping between them tirelessly. It allows for so much variety and different combinations. I think Diablo 3 will be enjoyed for years to come like D2 was.

Also, last time I checked, Nintendo just keeps remaking Ocarina Of Time.

As for Persona, everytime I hear the characters say "sempai", I cringe.

(I remember being putoff by the SD chibi art p3/p4 took a turn to)

I haven't played, but will hell pick it up for vita seeing as how it's going to be upped.

P2 - I loved that one to death (both renditions of it)
The combat & persona building system were way ahead of its time and I damn sure liked the 3/4 isometric view. Good ol' 2d sprites.
It also did something interesting, the interaction with NPC monsters (this is something extremely rare outside of table-top RPGs). Some of the things you can say to them to make them happy, scared, trick them, get money, etc. was hilarious and their reactions were also hilarious.

Haven't we gone over this before. God, you're like a broken record. *yawn* Because SFIV is a totally new game that looks and plays nothing like previous games? MvC3 is a drastic improvement over 2. And last time I checked, Diablo 3 has the same isometric perspective as 1. All DnD games, Fallout, Elder Scrolls and etc. have all moved on from being lazy assholes and making their games look exactly the same. That's like making Skyward Sword like Zelda 1 but it looks nicer. But seeing how you're talking about a series you know nothing of because you're a dumbass that likes complaining about the same stupid shit without good reason, you'd know that the only game in that series that was a remake of Ocarina of Time was Twilight Princess. Skyward Sword, Majora's Mask, and Windwaker are VASTLY different. Fuck WINDWAKER TAKES PLACE ON THE OPEN SEAS YOU STUPID FUCKING RETARDED BABY! Stop making excuses for a shitty company like Blizzard.

Yeah, Sonic fans are crazy.

Anyway, filled day.  Saw the Avengers.  I have to admit, I was hella skeptical, but they did a fantastic job with the movie.  Utterly fantastic.  The pacing was great, something which was extremely important to this movie, but it was done well.  Everything was just...great, and the two credit scenes were nice too.

YJ today...now that I've had a week to...cool off from my hatred of the time skip, I got to enjoy this episode a lot more.  While I would've preferred to see how things would've played out in normal time, I guess I can live with this for now.  The 5 years has been very good for Connor.  He no longer has the Connor Rage, and is now actually a bit clever, and a LOT more subdued.  And it's interesting how he dumped Megan for something that left him no choice, which I'm guessing has to do with Megan's...temperament change.  Girl straight force choked the Alien Leader.  You could've played the Imperial March and it would've fit.  While she's playing the good big sis, it seems she's grown more...sadistic.  Which also leads into BB's whole thing.  Apparently Queen Bee killed his mother...and considering QB's connection to Megan...it's quite possible she murdered QB in revenge, which DEFINITELY seems like the kind of thing Connor would not be fond of.

Korra ep...yeah, hella weak today.  Something tells me they didn't completely work out the kinks when retooling Korra from a 12 ep mini series to a full 26 episode series, since that episode was all over the place.  Bolin at least made it bearable.  Shipping crap all over the place, aka the type of thing you'd be worried about with a female main character.  Again though Bolin made it decent, he made everything nice and funny, taking away some of the angst.  On top of that, they THANKFULLY showed how effective he is as a bender.  Second ep he really didn't do much other than teach Korra a new Earthbending style, and the third ep he got kidnapped and Amon made him his bitch.  Nice that they showed how effective he really can be.

Honestly, I've never cared for vampires or sci-fi, so he's never ever been on my radar. Only thing that interested me from him was Cabin in the Woods, but I haven't gotten around to it.

The Mini spell is available on Ven too. It's really damn good since I'm playing Proud mode right now. Helps get rid of the problem enemies quick. Gave up on Critical mode once I noticed I do half damage. Sucks when you feel like your attacks have no kick to them.

Well it's understandable, not everyone is a Buffy fan...hell, even I wasn't for the longest time and I still haven't gotten around to actually watching it straight through.  Watched Angel though (it was the only thing on at 6 AM before I went out to school).  But yeah, Whedon is a beast, and definitely takes things like fan input to heart.  He's the king of one liners as well.

Command Board, pretty much just makes it so you can gather more commands and level them up quicker.  You can pay attention if you want, it's pretty optional.  If you're playing Proud Mode, you might want to look into it more just to make life a bit easier for you.  Also, make sure you get every single Xehanort report.  That means taking a visit to the Mirage Arena with Terra.

I would've cared more for Whedon if I cared for television, but I really don't. Basic cable is like a cultural wasteland. I would've loved to have seen him done some stuff on premium channels because I only care about stuff like Dexter and Boardwalk Empire for years now.

I don't know why you think D-Links are useless because they've saved me on more than one occasion when I don't have commands I want. Having Aqua's Cura on command and a heal out of it isn't bad at all. I also really like how customizable this game is. You can jack up the color quality and overclock your PSP. Almost felt like I was on a PC for second. I wonder why more games didn't manage this before? Only issues I'm having right now is that the PSP screen is too small for some of the action and I get killed sometimes not knowing what's offscreen and having to charge heal spells makes boss battles a LOT easier.

D-Links early aren't that bad at all.  Later though, all it's decent for is a quick Cure ala Drives in KH2.

So there are rumors of a new RE game in development for the 3DS, probably named "Resident Evil Downfall", and it's gonna have Claire as the protagonist. The plot taking place between 5 and 6.

For all i care it can be a pinball RE game, i just want to play with Claire in a canon RE.

Just rumors for the moment.

Ugh...whatever. RE blows ass.

In other Capcom news, Dragon's Dogma is the FUCKING SHIT! I suggest that anyone that hasn't tried the demo to give it a whirl. The animations are great, the combat is intense, every class feels beefy and rogues are all basically Hawkeyes/Green Arrows. Let me break this down here, it's Dark Souls meets Devil May Cry meets Shadow of the Colossus meets Monster Hunter. It's looking crazy good so far. Just wish it had multiplayer though. A wasted opportunity I'm afraid.

This is the Capcom I know and love.

If you're playing it after AA, prepare to be a bit disappointed. For every new thing they add, they do some wrong. It's not a bad game, but I hate how they tease the hell outta you the entire game and rushed the ending, ruining the pace of the game.

I disagree (other with the ending, that much I agree with you).  I had no problems with the game at all until they rushed the ending.  I wasn't disappointed in the least really.   Especially since AA's ending wasn't exactly top notch either.

^^ No surprise.

Besides the final boss being entirely horrible, AA was expertly paced and well told. But I can't believe you didn't like how half the plot threads ended in cliffhangers. That shit is annoying and stupid.

EDIT: Also the bosses suck besides one and the combat system still isn't all that great.

Anyways, had no idea Young Justice went to its second season so fast. Time skip sucks though, too much stuff unresolved and only really kept Superboy and Miss Martian along. I guess they'll fill in some of the gaps eventually like Kid Flash and Artemis, but I'll be damned they didn't even let Rocket have a chance to shine. It is cool to see Blue Beetle in (He deserves it) and it seems all the teased characters actually made it in. I just hate that the VA for Beastboy is terribad so far. I know he's barely past being a toddler, but bleh.

Also, Zitana got a nice rack on her now.

To be fair I haven't played AA and AC in a while, so I might just be misremembering.  For all I now, I actually was more annoyed about it before.

And yeah, again, screw time skips.  But yeah, I find it funny, we got a grand total of two eps with Rocket on the team, hello time skip, and she's in the League.  At least Zatanna got some focus eps.  And yeah, she has some nice...assets, but that's Zatanna in a nutshell in every form of media.  Beast Boy's VA does annoy the hell out of me, but...idk.  I'll give it time.  It annoyed me less when he was just Garfield so it's probably just me connecting YJ BB to TT BB and being annoyed.

But after thinking about it, there is one decent reason for such a quick time skip.  Greg Weisman has no assurance that YJ will even make it to a Season 3.  After what happened with Gargoyles and Spectacular Spider-Man, I wouldn't blame him for feeling a bit...nervous, ESPECIALLY considering how awful they've treated the airing of YJ, not to mention how CN just loves screwing with a lot of shows in general (Symbionic Titan got screwed, Generator Rex, one of their keynotes, didn't even finish their series on TV, their last eps were online only).  He probably planned a quick time skip so his vision of having a vast DC lineup in his show would actually...you know, happen before CN screws him.  If I think about it like that, I'm less annoyed.

As long as he's able to fill in the gaps with flashbacks and hints I'll be fine. I do understand that he's nervous over getting screwed so much, but I at least want some answers. I was also thinking that it'd be cool if they had a show of the Justice League coinciding with YJ. I'm surprised they haven't tried to bring that back.

In other news, apparently Sony is going to make a game that looks like Demon's Souls on the Vita called Soul Sacrifice. It's being done by Keiji Inafune and SCEJ are working on it. Might actually be something other than P4G for the Vita now.

Well up until now, they probably couldn't.  Wonder Woman's rights were tied up for a long time until recently (hence why WW or Wonder Girl wasn't seen anywhere on YJ until the later eps).

Though at this point, instead of making an alternate show, just make it so the JL gets more time in YJ if they want to go there.  Or make a JL show in the same universe after YJ ends.

I'd like to see a JL show just because if DC is going to continue with this DC Nation thing, why not? Then they don't have to worry about giving everyone a show and you don't have to worry about their shitty villains. *coughFlashcough*

Well I don't see anything that says they would be planning to give everyone their own show.  But it wouldn't hurt to have something else for the lineup when they run out of new GL and YJ eps.  They have Beware the Batman coming up (which just looks...awful by the way, but it could surprise me), having one last DC show could help.

Then again, it's not like they're in a hotly contested battle with Marvel on the animation front.  While Avengers is probably better than both YJ and GL...Ultimate Spider-Man is just plain bad, and with the way their particular block drags out, it can turn more people off before Avengers even comes on.  On top of that, there's a running rumor that they're going to cancel the Avengers just so they can make a new version of the show that runs more in line with the USM universe they set up, which would pretty much be par for the course with how successful Marvel shows are treated (Weisman can attest to that).
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on May 10, 2012, 09:36:52 PM
Another Batman show? Ugh. God, they need to lay off Batman for a while, they just got off Brave and the Bold. Why can't they do Superman, who hasn't had an animated show since the 90s?

But yeah, I guess they don't have much competition from Marvel because they're almost completely focused on their live-action front. It's a shame that USM sucks, I was kind of excited because Iron Fist/Luke Cage team up was in. Oh well. I just really hope they don't reboot The Avengers. It's too good to change and they are already riding the popularity of the movie at the moment. To go and change that would be completely retarded and redundant.

Actually, after seeing the Doctor Strange movie. I want them to give him a shot, it'd make for a pretty sweet series.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on May 10, 2012, 09:52:25 PM
Because, real talk, Superman is pretty boring.  He's more interesting when surrounded by other heroes for comparison.  Plus this is all at the moment capitalizing on the Batman movies (even though they have nothing to do with them) and the fact Batman's a lot easier to market.  Now if the next two Supes movies don't suck (or...you know, at least one of them) then we'll probably see something down the pipe.

And it's not that Marvel is focusing just on live action, they actually have plenty of animated things going on.  It's just that most of them are subpar short of Avengers right now.  USM had potential, but they're fucking it up with a lot of stupid cutaway gags and all this other crap.  It makes me feel bad that one, Clark Gregg (Agent Coulson from the Marvel movies) is doing VA work of his own character from the movies, two that they wasted Taskmaster on this show, and three, that this show is the replacement to Spectacular Spider-Man.

At least though you go your Luke Cage/Iron Fist team up in the Avengers cartoon, though it's a one-off episode (for now at least, who knows in the future considering Ms. Marvel is getting a lot of play right now when she's not even an Avenger).

Doc Strange could be pretty cool.  Should have some build up though, not the most well known hero.

Did you see the Superman animated series? It was great. Sure Superman himself is bland (which DC needs to work out themselves.), but his villains are great. I've always loved Lobo, Luthor and Braniac. Sure, Batman is the easiest to expose, but they've been doing that forever. That's the reason why Marvel has had such a leg up on them because they're not intently focused on their biggest characters and then make them insanely broken every time. (Y'know, Pre-Crisis Superman and Prep-time Batman being seriously stupid) They need to branch out and I'm glad they allowed Green Lantern a chance, hell Wonder Woman is a great character and she barely gets exposure. (Well, the other exposure.)

Only projects I know they're on are USM and Avengers, other than that I'm aloof to it. I was pretty sure the animes, X-men and Fantastic Four have run their courses.

Honestly, as a standalone character, Dr. Strange could hold his own. The thing is they've never really tried and he hardly ever gets cameos. Which is weird because he's a favorite of all the Marvel head honchos. Of course, there's talks about a movie. Which in any case, I think Hugh Laurie would be an awesome choice.

Well again on the Wonder Woman, her rights were all tangled about.  Like I said, there was a REASON we had no inklings of her since JLU ended.  And yeah, I do like the Supes Rogue Gallery...but again, the Gallery gets a lot better when Supes is surrounded by others.  The shades of grey some of them do are a lot better serviced when they interact with someone without the absolute morality of Clark.  But again, I believe it's completely obvious that most of DC's cartoons like to coincide with Movie releases.  GL got nothing until the Live Action Movie for the most part.  It would not surprise me that we get a Supes cartoon not too long after his movie, but I'm not clamoring for it.

Yeah, you're right on the things you mentioned, and thank god the animes ended, every one of them other than Iron Man (which was actually pretty solid) was awful.  Wolvie and the X-Men got screwed (it was a damn good show for the most part other than the Wolvie-centric eps, but the other eps where everyone got shine made it damn worth it), and Fantastic Four was...eh.  IM:Armored Adventures is still going with that classic irregular airing (it's actually not that bad, while Tony being 17 does take away things like Demon in a Bottle, I don't think it's that big of a deal.  Hell they already got to Extremis).  Hulk: Agents of S.M.A.S.H is on the way (though I think it might also be in the USM universe...so that's doomed to fail), and there's always the Super Hero Squad Show lol.  But it's like I said, there's a lot going on, but none of it really is worth mentioning.

Doc Strange could stand alone, but like I said, I think he'd do some good with some build up.  Unless his rights have been up in the air, he could get dropped for some Avengers eps.  Also, Hugh Laurie as Doc Strange...I could see that.  Though it will also be weird.

If they can manage to get WW, I'd be pretty happy. I haven't followed much of her, but what I have read is really good. She's a really great and funny character and they can do a lot with her. It's just sad that she only has a decent television show to her name.

I kind of ignored IM: Armored Adventures because of the whole Scooby gang aesthetic. I'd rather see a straightforward Iron Man cartoon. Though it was cool they brought up Extremis, too bad you ain't gonna see someone's head getting repul blasted in on network television. I also don't have much faith on the Hulk cartoon with a terrible name like that. I'll wait for another Hulk movie with Ruffalo to fill in the void.

All this cartoon talk reminds me of how they sadly never finished the Spawn series. Spawn needs another go into mainstream.

No love for Young Justice? (Btw Wonder Woman is on there) Hated it at first, but it's kinda grown on me. Especially with the new arc introducing a few of my favorites. Wondergirl (Cassandra not Donna), Nightwing, and Tim Drake Robin. Beastboy is interesting so far.

Superman is so easy to screw up cause for the most part his personality in cartoons is non-existent. JL did a decent job in giving him faults, which made you like the character cause he isn't perfect. Every other cartoon (even Superman TAS until the last season) made him lacking of emotion. He had some, but he always seemed so reserved or in the earlier cartoon series so professional.  Was watching the 80's Superman cartoon on my off day. Kinda funny the voice of Mr. Fantastic of the 1994 Fantastic Four TV series is the voice of Superman. They both lack emotion. Guess the voice actor does it well.

Surprised the hell outta me too. It's the second time I've seen an employee that doesn't have completely obvious game choices. I used to know a guy who was a big Atlus fan like myself. I thought he was going to roll his eyes over my choice. The guy next to him wasn't so special though. Was raving about the new God of War, so I railed on it.

And I managed to beat Demon's Souls before the servers went down. \(-0-)/ Definitely see where they said Dark Souls was harder. It's nice to have MP and heal items instead of charges and bottles. Also the bosses were pretty weak.

As for Sandman, I dunno, I'm not a huge comic book guy. I have a decent collection for both manga and comics, but I barely keep up. Most of what I know comes from either the shows or my friends who know everything Marvel and DC. I wish I could keep in the know, but I'd end up being broke and games are already too expensive.

In other news, it seems that RE6 sales expectation is to sell 7 million and DmC at 2 mil. It was nice knowing you Capcom... *bumbumbuhbum* *salutes*

It took me around 6 hrs for the first arc you are talking about, but keep in mind that i spent a lot of time going back to towns and going around trying to get all the skits, so it probably should take less time.

The last time i played the game (like 1 week ago) i had like 112 hours of play time, and if i can play that amount of time without even finishing the game, then any full RPG fan can do it too.
BTW i am the kind of player that just plays around an RPG game and usually left it before 30 hours of play time.

RE5 sold 5.8 million.  It's definitely possible RE6 makes it to 7 million.

DmC...lolololololololol.

EDIT:  Welp...found Aqualad today.  Though I don't think he likes being called that anymore.

And also, Tenzin is a pimp.

RE5 sold 5.8 million to date. That's a big difference. This is including all the years it has been in market and the Gold version. I'm pretty sure it original only sold 4-5 million copies. And that was pre-CoD era.

The expectations are for their fiscal quarter. That's ridiculous. They're definitely not going to make it. They're going to be competing with both Blops II and AssCreed III. (And that's not saying there will be others.) They're finished. Maybe Capcom will finally join Sega in Kusogeville.

Actually, both Creed and Blops 2 are going to be in November, RE6 will avoid them by a month.  I wouldn't call that direct competition.

I'm just going to say we'll see.  I think it has a shot.  You never know.  And if Capcom joins Sega in Kusogeville, I'll have the same reaction if they don't.  Not a fuck will be given on that day.

But didn't they announce that RE6 was a winter release? That sounds like that'll get in the way of their master plan to take the Call of Duty crowd.

If they do go the way of Sega. Me and all of the Capcom detractors will laugh and then we'll have drinks with Keiji Inafune and Hideki Kamiya afterwards.

Smart move, but I forgot to put the DLC into perspective. Like making multiplayer DLC, isn't going to fly here if you want CoD numbers. Capcom doesn't have the same rep they used to 4 years ago as well. I honestly just can't see them making those numbers, unless it's honestly the best thing since sliced bread.

Well yeah, ever since the double threat of AssCreed and Call of Duty. It's never been a good idea to roll into the holidays. That's why a lot of stuff has been releasing in October or January. Only other big release to survive through that has been Skyrim, pushing over 10 mil on the same weekend. But then again it's Elder Scrolls and that shit prints money regardless of how bland that series is.

Also, after getting through the prologue hump in Tales of Graces, the game really pays off. Holy hell, the combat system is probably the best in the series so far! You can do some pretty crazy shit. My bro and I blew through 3 enemies in one combo on hard mode! @_@

i do believe you can generally learn a lot about the mmo genre from playing WoW (it's really is kinda overwhelming at first) and it's probably one of the best one on the market for getting into since they have made a lot of changes over the 8 years it's been out, that being said the game is starting to show age and has some really heavy competition out/coming out

I saw an article (in an Spanish place, a nice reliable place i think) saying Capcom strategy will be making and releasing sequels faster one after another, AND making more DLC. No surprises there.

Sadly couldn't find the same news in an English or known place, not that i tried that hard to find it.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on May 15, 2012, 05:29:27 AM
I'd like to see that source.

But the making DLC thing is no surprise as EVERY company now banks on making money through DLC.  Like every other technological advancement, at first it's seen as a light of good, then people realize how to abuse it for money.  DLC is just the latest line of that.

As for the sequel thing...exactly what would they be releasing?  It generally takes them some time to release new RE things, and it will be probably over a year after RE6 until we see something else on that front since they burned their entire RE load for this year.  SF5 probably isn't until the next gen consoles, and I doubt they'll go through the Marvel Licensing deal really fast just to get something new out before the next gen systems.  That leaves what...Lost Planet?

Let's see, a producer arrogant enough to put his face as the new face of what was a beloved character, and then goes out of his way to shit on people who says that's moronic.  Then they go on to completely change the back story...and then back out by saying it's an alternate universe.  They try to make a better story, but seemingly are sacrificing gameplay for it, but the story seems to make no freaking sense either.

In the end?  Ninja Theory can fuck off.  It's one thing to go in a new direction and say they want (or were at least told) to do something new.  It's another thing to completely insult the intelligence of DMC fans by saying it will be much better than the older games and anyone who says different are morons.  Even Capcom isn't that blatantly disrespectful...usually.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on May 15, 2012, 08:51:34 AM
As for on-disc DLC, it really depends. I don't have a problem with the way, say, Gears of War 3 did it, where it's all optional fluff. (It's only a few extra skins on weapons and playable MP characters) On the other hand, locking up entire sections of the campaign, locking multiplayer support, and playable characters for campaign hurt hard. It's not too much of an issue for me at the moment since my brother is gifting it to me anyway. I just hope that it's nothing substantial.

As for DmC. Yeah, fuck that game. I'll ditto the comments Satsu said. Antionads is a fucking pretentious fop that needs to go away. I don't like the new look for Dante. They made a re-imagining of the universe that no one asked for. They dumbed down the gameplay for the game. The score system is done using music instead of a meter. And I hate how the story makes Dante now an anti-establishment hipster that doesn't fit in with a world that constantly attacks him. (literally) None of this has anything to do with DMC at all. DMC is simply supposed to be a flashy and fun hack n' slash with great mechanics, wacky characters and a great combo system.

It also still makes me wonder why Capcom is so obsessed with snatching shitty western devs and having them make games for them.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Delta on May 15, 2012, 11:04:55 AM
New Dante is better than old Dante (we need some troll face icons/smilies in this forum).

Makes me think if they are going to make emo versions of DMC1-DMC4 characters or just make original characters please don't steal.

To give some credit to Ninja Theory, they made Heavenly Sword, a so-so game which for some reason i still want a sequel.
Also Enslaved, which was meh, but just like HS i enjoyed both.


PS.- Heavenly Sword 2 was in development, but got canceled  :(

To be real with you, even on a psychological standpoint that is completely correct. Basically, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Almost everything I've come into contact with regards to Christianity has made sense when stacked up with everything I've learned in college, whether it's science (Uncertainty Principle, look it up), psychology (developmental psychology and the effects of various social stances), and even philosophy (The idea behind Unisense and Universal empathy and Universal laws).

If you really want to break down Christianity to its most fundamental point. It's love. If it goes against that principle, you are doing it wrong.

Yeah, but I don't think the new stuff will come right away, considering it's only been a month.

It wouldn't surprise me if they just got a couple of Funi contracts, and then it's gonna be most of the current AS lineup until they can finish the programming transition.

It was either that or try to hold off, but I think they want the instant ratings.

I saw this on their forums,

Quote
IzayoiKagemaru, that was the most ignorant statement I’ve heard in a long time. “If people are disappointed, it’s their fault”? Are you serious? It’s my fault that Final Fantasy XIII was such a tremendously ty game with next to no playability?

Fans are too passive nowadays. Demand more of your video game developers, just as you would demand great food from a restaurant. They are a multi-billion dollar company; they don’t need to be pitied or cradled.

They are producers, we are consumers. We pay the rent for their offices, the operating expenses, and most importantly, their salaries. We can demand whatever the hell we want, and if they fail to meet our expectations, they can go bankrupt.

Amen to that.

Played a bit of Sonic 4 episode 2. It's average. Not bad but not great either. Maybe I'm just old and nothing can capture the magic of the old games. I quit when I was forced to play yet ANOTHER underwater stage and up until that point it was extremely easy, but then you have to use the fly mechanic with Tails and use this very unprecise mechanic to navigate through spikes underwater. AND if Tails touches the spike, you both take damage, and there's no air.

That's when I said fuck it. I'm sick of Dimps Sonic with cheap instant kill scenarios designed around dumb mechanics.

I hate the Sonic franchise in general. Any franchise where every game is hyped by the fans as the one to "save the franchise" is already trash.

But I figured the game would be average. At least Dimps isn't responsible for the craptastic 3D games.

Anyways, I'm so sick of work. I'm sick of our retarded management that can't do their job worth a damn, so much so that somehow my co-workers are trying to save the one's job in fear of having a potentially worse manager. And our deli manager manage to finally help us out for a change only to leave me in charge of everything with 2 hours still left in his shift. So, that leaves with me a fresh new employee that's old and slow because she's recovering from a stroke and a guy from Seafood that shouldn't be helping us in the first place. Add to cut hours, stretching everyone thin, having both Seafood and Meat room do double or triple duty, not doing anything about lazy workers and bothering us over inane minutae. It really makes me wonder how this place has lasted for so long with such incompetence. This is fucking bullshit. No wonder America's going down the shitter.

So apparently my brother is dead set on having me watch the entire first season of Avatar. Oh boy. It's alright so far, quickly noticed some of the styles there, like Kempo, Aikido, Xiaolin and Tai Chi. Can't quite shake away the feeling it was inspired heavily by the Golden Sun games. There's a lot of parallels.

I'm also playing Professor Layton and I'm trying to see exactly why it's so popular? I love the art style and characters, but the gameplay is pretty bleh. The seemingly innocuous puzzles kill it for me. It seems everyone and their mother has a pointless puzzle for you that easily could've come from a brain bender book from Barnes and Noble. I hope the rest of the series isn't filled with such seemingly random puzzlers. Guess I must have spent too much time with Phoenix and Catherine.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on May 20, 2012, 05:09:16 AM
First season of Avatar is hit or miss.  Doesn't help that it has the undisputed worst episode of the series (The Great Divide, though honestly if that's your worst episode, you're in solid shape).  Gets better towards the end though, and Season 2 is pretty top notch.  Season 3 is also a bit hit or miss, depending on how you feel about the importance of some of the supposed filler in it.  But the animation of each season upgrades a ton as it goes, to the point that it's hard to even recognize the series almost at the end, and especially at The Legend of Korra.

Never played Professor Layton...never was a fan of puzzles short of the logic puzzles I used to get at school.

Also, another YJ note...hurray for Wally keeping Artemis on lock for 5 years.

They're all logic puzzles. It's just that they don't fit at all with the context of the situations at hand for the most part. It almost feels like the Professor is the King of random puzzle solving. I might not be able to get through it if that's the case. Oh well, guess I'm a lot less interested in PL vs. PW now.

Also, after catching up with Blue Beetle some more, I hope they go into his backstory. He's such a good character.

Blue Beetle is pretty boss, and honestly I do expect them to do so, since they're already subtly building it up.  Plus considering how far they're going with Roy's story, I do not doubt Weisman going in depth with ANYTHING.

And...why didn't you have the case in the first place?

They didn't even bother developing her character at all. Now with the cast being a lot bigger, I fear some characters may get left in the dust, which I may be guessing either Blue Beetle, Wonder Girl or Batgirl.

Also, I'm done with Professor Layton. You CAN NOT give me motherfuckin' Pythagorean Theorem! >:[
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on May 20, 2012, 06:55:04 AM
Wonder Girl is getting an ep next week, and like I said, I expect Blue Beetle to play an important part in the season due to the Scarab.  Batgirl might be the only one left out, which wouldn't be surprising since...well Weisman is probably very aware many know a lot about the Bat Family already.  We'll see though, with Nightwing essentially taking a back seat, Wally and Artemis retired, and Kaldur evil, let's see what the numbers are with the cast...

Superboy, Megan, Beast Boy, Blue Beetle, Lagoon Boy, Wonder Girl, Bat Girl, Bumblebee and Mal Duncan.  Compare to before with the original six, Zatanna and Roy getting plenty of rep (which he'll likely still get), and it isn't that far off from before.  Conner/Megan/Beast Boy will likely share focus eps from here on out, with MAYBE some Lagoon Boy play, but he's probably going to be more used for the Kaldur subplot, to which he, Nightwing...and likely Conner again will take.  If anyone will lose focus, it's likely the last two.

X had Wakka and Tidus for the entire chunk of Destiny Islands AND you fight them. I'm just saying that Nomura could give a shit about anything that isn't his. I'd like to see Terra, Cecil or Zidane for a part into this. God, knows he needed to put in Zack from the shitty PSP game. It does still bother me that for being a crossover, they really restrain themselves on the FF aspect, except when it comes to the battle system.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on May 21, 2012, 01:53:09 AM
Cameos, especially on this level, are extremely overrated.

On top of that, half the characters he put in KH are flanderized to all hell.  Wakka, Tidus and Selphie are kids (though with people's usual opinions on Tidus...) along with Seifer and his crew, YRP from X-2 are random fairies that don't do anything, and then there's the whole Light/Dark Cloud/Sephiroth thing with random Tifa intervention...wait...no wait, that's pretty much what the extended FFVII universe did.

Are you really that interested to see what he'd do to Terra or Zidane (Cecil would probably get the Auron treatment, so he'd get a pass...actually he'd likely get the EXACT same treatment as Auron, same level and all, Hades does strike me as that stupid) in KH?  Nomura can only get away with this crap now because he's doing it on his own characters (and even then, that excuse only goes so far, just ask George Lucas).  If he does it to things like FFVI characters, people will come for his ass if he fucks it up.

^^ Honestly. Joystiq has also been known for making terrible calls on reviews. He once railed on a game because he didn't understand how the map and quest mechanics of the game worked, so he gave up and completely dismissed the game. As for IGN, their Godhand review speaks for itself. Dude, didn't even bother playing the game past the first level. Which ironically, they put on their top 100 PS2 games list. @_@

So yeah, fuck major review sites if they'll keep handing out free perfects to shit like D3 and Skyrim. It's also gonna inevitably get compared to Skyrim, no matter what. Only reason DD isn't getting its dick rubbed is that it isn't an established franchise/studio, so they don't give a fuck if there's potential blowback from fans.

In the end, I'll make up my own damn mind on whether it's good or not.

I seen that. I wonder how the metagame changes between 1on1 and teams? It seems a little too chaotic where there's too big a match.

...It's called Anarchy Reigns, Chaos is kind of the point.  And that was just a 16 man free for all...I think.  Though there are plenty of modes where you can slim down the number of players in case it does get too hectic for you.

Also, it seems that we have the schedule for Toonami.

Bleach
Deadman Wonderland
Casshern Sins
FMA: Brotherhood
Ghost in the Shell
Cowboy Bebop

Honestly, in terms of returning shows...that's about what I expected.  Deadman Wonderland is a shocker though.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on May 22, 2012, 12:54:19 AM
Never heard of that show. Bleach and FMA are tolerable, but I could care less. Guess I'll stick to GitS, Casshern (which is nice, because I was planning to see it recently anyway) and Cowboy Bebop then. And my suspicions were right, they're doing a rerun at 3am. Guess now all that's left is to see what Funi will provide after (seeing how Casshern Sins is incredibly short anyway.)

So, I got around to watching the last YJ and I'm happy to see that they are in fact following through with Blue Beetle's story from what they've teased. Guess they'll delve into the Kord family issue, which makes me happy. But I didn't quite expect seeing Red Arrow fucked up and much less into ghetto-ass family.

As for Anarchy Reigns, that's what worries me. The whole chaotic thing could kill the multiplayer for me. Playing a lot of games that involve melee combat has always caused issues. I could only imagine it's like what face stabbing is in TF2, but worse. (Demon's/Dark Souls had issues with this too) Last thing I want is a surprise sex move that seemingly looks out of range, only to have my character magically appear in their arms and into death's cold grasp. Then you add 15 more people. I'll give it a chance, but I think I'll stick with the campaign.

Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on May 22, 2012, 12:58:45 AM
In that case, then Anarchy Reigns is only a rent for you since the game looks like it's relying on multiplayer.  Though like I said, there are plenty of modes that drastically dwindle the people (Cage Match is just 1 on 1 for example).

As for Red Arrow, they're following his comic shit too.  The only thing they didn't mention were the drugs, but they pretty much hinted at it, especially with Black Canary coming at him with the Body as a Temple line.  Let's just hope they don't go ALL the way with the comic storyline for Roy...that shit would barely pass for primetime, let alone SatAM cartoons (though, again, Artemis showing up wearing only a shirt already shows Weisman knows how to Get Crap Past the Radar).
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on May 22, 2012, 01:10:18 AM
Eh. That's not as bad as I've seen in other shows and it's been done plenty of times. I've seen panty shots get past censors so that's not too bad, it's the implication of things to come that makes it seem worse. But he did get hooked up very damn well. (sammiches, anyone?) Surprised they didn't mention what he's doing though. No mention if he's taking over Flash or anything of the sort.

As for Red, I dunno, like I said, I'm not a DC buff. Don't know what goes on from there, but you can always hint at things. They were good at doing that in the Batman: TAS. That also dealt with drugs, slavery, mafia, betrayal, etc. So that isn't new ground to tread. Now DC sluts is a whole different story.

Like I said though for AR. It all depends on how the mechanics work for multiplayer, the netcode and if I can find a match type that works for me. Which may end up being either 2v2s or 3v3s. I honestly can't tell from gameplay, because there's too much going on.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Saitsuofleaves on May 22, 2012, 01:21:02 AM
No, I don't think it's bad at all, it's the whole, your censors have to go up even more for SatAM.  The Artemis thing any other time would just be meh.  And he, and Artemis, are just going to college, retired from heroing at the moment (they're in Palo Alto, so I guess they're going to Stanford).

As for the Roy thing, the only reason I'm surprised they're going so far with it is the endgame of what happens.

No, got to save it for Toonami.  Everyone needs to watch.

Man, I love G Gundam but showing it again?  If they're gonna capitalize on the old school nostalgia of Gundam, then Gundam Wing is the first priority.  G Gundam goes after that.

Also...to gear up...

I'm not saying it isn't, but if we have to bring Gundam nostalgia into this, Wing is the place to start.

And yeah, I missed it at first too.  But you get used to it.  If a VA seems too particularly good...probably high profile...damn near everyone in KH is high profile in terms of VAs.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Rule 34 Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on May 22, 2012, 02:48:49 PM
Yeah, but both Wing and G are great. Outside of Wing, everyone knows and appreciates G. Even if it isn't the first thing to come in mind and it's got lot less silly bishounen. (For the ladies, who are concerned about oversexualized females) Also with that Mass Effect 3 review on April Fools, I can't wait to see Tom do motivational speeches and other reviews.

I dunno, the voice cast for this is unusually great for a portable game. Hell, the production values in general are spectacular. Wish more publishers had more faith in the PSP in its lifetime.

Did I mention that wolves hunt you down like REAL FUCKING WOLVES?!? They will ambush you, circle you and rape your party for free. Basically, preparation is key in this game in order to survive.

That'd be pretty awesome and it wouldn't surprise seeing how random encounters are in that game. Fought Reptile's extended family by a riverbank at one point and ambushed by an entire village of armored goblins.

Also, MIB3 blew ass. The movie was way too serious for its own good. Serious lack of actual jokes. Dare I say, worse than 2? The ending was cute though.

The real comedy worked out in that everything was new and he's a novice gags. Guess this'll give everyone another reason to rewatch the Avengers. Oh well, I hope Prometheus doesn't disappoint.

I'm also gonna test Dragon's Dogma on its comboability. There's a technique you learn that wipes recovery time and I might want to see if I can make some creative combos here. Also, this game lets you learn Guy's moves from SF.

So, yeah. I'm definitely sticking with Deadman Wonderland it's shaping up like a pretty awesome mindfuck anime. I just can't help but know the art style. It looks way too familiar and fantastic looking. Anyways, it's nice to see something that isn't shounen.

I also watched Casshern, but that intro ep. was pretty slow. I'll stick it out and see if it picks up, my brother apparently can't get over the animation style.

I'll skip FMA and GitS (never watched the films anyway) like I did with Bleach. Anyone else think that Bleach's animation is really looking dated? Ichigo's face makes him look retarded.

But yeah, so far so good. A shame they didn't have the budget to contract the old announcer.

Deadman looks plenty mindfucked right...no better way to start a series than mass slaughter and a frame job.

Casshern looks...interesting.  I'll stick around because Casshern himself is a beast.  Confirmed for TvC2 final boss.

So I finished Season 1 of Avatar during the shounen drudge of Toonami. Not bad at all. Lots of Shinto imagery abound. I can't help but feel that the whole sexism thing felt a bit forced but eh, I guess it works.

I think the whole point behind that is that they want major titles to come out quicker ala Call of Duty. As for how that takes into account quality, I dunno. Two and a half years isn't a bad dev cycle to make a good game, but we'll see how that pans out.

Of course Mario Party has its fanbase. Just go to any Nintendo fansite or just Gamefaqs.

I completely agree with every one of those. Especially Pokemon, FFVII and Goldeneye. I love how they continue to compare every damn game in existence to these even though they aren't even that innovative or great to begin with.

Revengeance, hehe. Weird name, rising might be more generic, but it would probably be better. Doesn't matter though, it seems like it could be fun to play.

The new Tomb Raider game seems interesting, i can't say i've ever been a fan of the original series but this game seems to be made in uncharteds image so that's cool. Not that they where that far off to begin with. Also, Lara Croft and the guardian of light was cool.

The hitman trailer seemed pretty cute, going for a grindhouse feel and all. I've never played the previous games, they do seem good but they've never sucked me in and i don't really see this one managing to do so on its own either.

YJ and The Legend of Korra...beastly today.

YJ, we got time traveling, saving the Flash from his likely untimely death, KF temporarily unretiring...and the adventures of Red Arrow, Cheshire and the stupid idea of bringing their baby to a fight.  Like Roy said...they couldn't leave her with Artemis?

The Legend of Korra however...damn.  We get the new Team Avatar...and lose it in the same episode.  Tarrlok is a freaking Bloodbender without a full moon (and his predecessor was as well).  If I had to wager a guess, the reason why it seemed like Tarrlok was a red herring for Amon was because he essentially IS Amon, but in reverse.  Whereas Amon wants a world free of Benders, proving all to be equal, Tarrlok seems to despise Non-Benders and wants to rid at least Republic City of them.  The irony is, both figures are providing a way for the other to gain a following.

Here's a question though, how did Tarrlok and his predecessor learn Bloodbending when there were only two practitioners of Bloodbending before (one likely being dead, and the other having absolutely no reason or desire to teach anyone else the technique)?  Secondly, how the hell can they do it without a Full Moon?

I saw the trailer as Watch Dogs. Either way it looks pretty slick.

-Rayman Legend, Zombie U are Wii U exclusive
That's lame, because I'm probably not getting a Wii U in the foreseeable future.
Quote
-Assassin Creed 3 for all three consoles
That's not very surprising at all.
Quote
-Big Daddy and Nathan Drake teased for Sony's Smash Bros
Big Daddy is a definite surprise, but Drake was a given. Not that I care, because the game still looks like ass.
Quote
-New God of War looks good graphically
I'm pretty sure they're using the same engine as the previous game, too bad I'm pretty much done with the series.
Quote
-Sony's "Last of Us" look impressive both game play and scenery
I honestly, could care less for another zombie game, much less from Naughty Dog. Knowing Sony, it's going to be a canned "cinematic experience" or some bullshit like that. Can they make another fantasy game like Jak and Daxter or Crash for a change?

Nintendo PC: D-, they showed absolutely nothing we haven't seen already.

-Watch Dogs but still I am a bit skeptic about it because it's ubisoft

Everything else we knew about before; nothing new for Nintendo but the Wii U looks good hopefully the next generation console.

Exited for halo 4 (I like the story actually but I think they are pushing it a bit too far; probably not gonna play the multiplayer).

Microsoft conference was SHIT! that goes for almost all of them but some of them showed us something.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Revengeance Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on June 05, 2012, 08:20:37 PM
Basically, this is what should've went down for everyone to win.

Sony: Announces price drop for Vita, new Jak and Daxter and The Last Guardian footage and release date.

Microsoft: Announces they've given up on the Kinect and announces new exciting IPs.

Nintendo: A slew of awesome Wii U exclusives that would've blown your mind.

Sadly, this never happened.

So I was playing KOF '99 (don't rage yet) and call me dumb if you want, but I just discovered two things about the game:

1. You can do a kind of "sidestep attack" after a forward Evasive Roll.

2. That backwards Evasive Roll that everyone hates? Turns out you can cancel out of that roll into a special attack right before the character does the forward step.

After making those discoveries, the game seems more fun to play now. But then again, I never thought it was that bad of a game even before I discovered these things.

You just need to learn the basics and build up from there; you need time to learn a MOBA game especially DOTA. Just give it some time.

It's personal preference really. I find that MOBA games are basically made for people that can't handle playing full-on Warcraft 3, but that's beside the point. I find them dreadfully boring and wish the competitive strategy scene wasn't so stale with its choices.

I used to think the same as you did, didn't care at all for "pro gaming", but then I started playing fighters I really wanted to get good at and not lose or be free in, and even attended a few tournaments and got involved with my local scene, changed my mind about it completely.

I used to be solely an online warrior, but since getting more active in offline stuff, it's been alot better. Meet alot of new people and made new friends.

It's an awesome game (VF5FS) but it's not like Sega makes a good job advertising that series, the main reason being it's not a Sonic game, so a lot of people pass on VF.

It's good to hear the Final Showdown version released some weeks ago is selling better than they expected, at least in Japan.

Overall, they just have no idea how to do business since the Genesis died. It's been one blunder after another. Now they're retreating into the iOS and Android markets because they suck hard and can't make decent games that aren't from their AM2 team members.

@whoever I'm more of a hockey person myself. Not that i really care, but i feel that it's more concentrated than football and allows for rougher play while having just as good (if not better) flow, unlike american football wich i've only seen one superbowl event of and found to be a bore.

Then again, i hate all these stupid football commercials and the hype some people seem to feel for it. I also hate all the crappy football music. Yet another reason why hockey kicks footballs ass; Hockey music. (Dio, AC/DC etc)

Well, we all thought the Pyro was a crazy evil psychopath who liked to burn things and people, because he liked to see things burn. But now it seems he sees the world in a different way, which pretty much kills the previous point.
Also the Pyro-vision was just too long.


On the good points, it's good to see Valve didn't reveal his/her face, gender or anything that ruins the character's mystery. Also it's good to see even his (or her) teammates are afraid of him.
And big plus for some of the real world parts, mainly the town on fire, maybe going to make a gif of that.


Still i was more disappointed than pleased by the video, but still liked it and i think it was "barely good", and yes, not worth the hype.

Title: Re: Off Topic thread:EVO Edition
Post by: Delta on June 29, 2012, 10:53:29 PM
Now that you mention it, is P4G THE definitive version of the game?

Something like if someone gets Golden, there is absolutely no point to get the original P4 (maybe for collection purposes, if we include those people).

Asking because i want to play P3-P4-P4Arena, in that order and if P4G makes the original obsolete, then i will try to get a Vita for that.

Also and just in case, no spoilers pretty please.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:EVO Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on June 30, 2012, 04:06:24 AM
It is THE DEFINITIVE VERSION. It has everything the original had and then some. Which includes updated graphics, new personas, portability new town, new events and new moves. The only thing different here is that they're changing the voice overs for both Teddie and Chie whose old VAs weren't available and are now set to do P4G and P4A. I'm not sure if they're as good as the originals.

Another thing to keep in mind is that P4G comes in October. A full solid two months after Arena. If you want to wait that long to get filled in on the story, then by all means go for it, but you'll want to stay far away from the story mode of P4A, since it takes place a few months after the events of the original game.

p4g is the best rpg I've ever played - end of line

It always has been. Always will be. Only RPG able to make me almost cry 3 times. That's quite the accomplishment. October can't come fast enough!

I'm guessing you are talking about the English voices, because i just searched and both of those characters have the same VA (P4 and P4G).

No big deal i guess, after all i love the English voicework of P3FES, and i'm one of those who prefers my games with the voices in the original language of such game.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:EVO Edition
Post by: Proto Cloud on June 30, 2012, 09:03:37 AM

Hopefully, PSO2 will come to consoles, if not, then forget it.

As for Injustice, it's looking pretty sweet. My only issue is that the color palatte is very drab and that I hope they learn from their mistakes from MK9.

it's coming to vita also so there might be a chance we could see it on ps3 at a much later date

and i know this game if f2p but i wouldn't mind putting down fifteen a month though only if the game warrants the sub though as long as sega keeps the cash for cosmetic items and only MINOR characters buffs ill be fine with it

A DMC-Bayonetta style would be good, but make it different enough (but still keeping it good) so people don't say: "Uhhh...DMC clone".

Now i know High Moon Studios made a Bourne game, a game for PS2 (Darkwatch), 2 Transformers games and 1 upcoming Transformers game. According to people most of their games are from decent to pretty good to almost good, except 1 TF which was a movie-game, and that explains it all.

Don't get hype over trailers that don't show you shit.

You don't know Megaten all that well if you didn't get hype for that. It's the little things that make all the difference and I caught at least 5 major aspects from that.

1. It's going to be a 3rd person perspective like Nocturne.
2. First time that the main series will have voiceovers and good ones for that matter.
3. Female protagonist?
4. Using remixes of classic tracks.
5. Kaneko reprises his work as the main artist.

But what do you know? You're the one that was excited for that overhyped piece of shit known as Diablo III. How'd that one go?

Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Dreamcancel more like Deadcancel Edition
Post by: Running Wild on August 30, 2012, 01:28:12 AM
I admit I was wrong about Diablo 3. The beta left a good impression on me initially... but then the game comes out, I hear all the problems the game has. I ended up passing on it after a friend of mine sold his account for $200 within 2 weeks of it's release.

But still, there is a huge difference in getting hype over a game you know what it's gonna be or one you got to play, over an anime trailer that tells you nothing with no gameplay shown. I admit, I don't know anything about Shin Megami Tensei, I played Persona 3 once years ago, watched a friend of mine stream part of Persona 4 and I played Persona 4:Arena. That's where my experiences with the series ends.

Honestly, that trailer isn't doing anything for me since I know nothing about the series, shouldn't they be trying to do something to get non-fans or people new to the series into it? Just showing some anime garbage is stupid, and they have NOTHING to show for it. Makes me think of Final Fantasy XIII Versus, lol what a joke that shit is.

Anyways, I still have VF5FS to keep me entertained, and that game was well worth the year of hype I had since last summer. I got TTT2 and DOA5 to play next month and those will prolly be the last games of 2012 I buy. All I bought this year was SCV and VF5FS.

Amazing, isn't it?

Hopefully unlike the rest of the net, those who do want to talk about this won't be so crazy and can tactfully discuss this one.

My opinion so far, as it usually is, is go where the games are. I understand the complaints about a new system to buy just for the game (did so myself with MGS4 on PS3, loved that) due to money, or wondering why it wasn't on a current-gen system period. As things stand now, I'm just glad Nintendo could help fund it, as Sega probably couldn't at the time. It exists, and I'll be able to get it when I'm able. The only bad thing is the wait to get the game, but I've experienced worse waiting, like for any kind of announcement of B2 in production.

Bayonetta 2 will be a Wii U exclusive? Not if $ony and Micro$oft have something to say about it!

Anyone remember House of the Dead: Overkill? No? Well, I can hardly blame you... but for those of you who do remember it, do you remember how it didn't stay a Wii exclusive for long and that the PS3 version had more content in it?

Same thing with Goldeneye 007, except this time around, Microsoft got in on taking away an exclusive from the Wii.

I'm pretty sure these aren't the only incidents of Sony and Microsoft taking away an exclusive from a Nintendo console, and I'm positive that it's not gonna stop here.

Post by: solidshark on September 15, 2012, 01:29:49 AM
Bayonetta 2 will be a Wii U exclusive? Not if $ony and Micro$oft have something to say about it!

Problem with that is, with Sega's money troubles, and committing itself to publishing only 4 surefire moneymakers (Sonic, Total War, Football Manager, and Aliens CM), the rest was digital releases. This left B2 in a space of cancelled limbo since it only made around 1 mil sales total, despite it being a cult classic.

Nintendo offered to foot the bill to finish it, and is now a publisher for it. I've never seen a game that Nintendo put money up for like that end up on a competing system, nor would I expect it. Like a lot of people are saying other places, it seems less like moneyhatting, and much more like SAVING Bayonetta. Nintendo or nothing.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Dreamcancel more like Deadcancel Edition
Post by: LouisCipher on September 15, 2012, 02:59:45 AM
Yeah if Nintendo's the publisher there is no chance they will port it out. There is a chance that Sega or whoever could regain the rights and then port it out though.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Dreamcancel more like Deadcancel Edition
Post by: marchefelix on September 15, 2012, 07:19:08 AM

Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Dreamcancel more like Deadcancel Edition
Post by: solidshark on September 15, 2012, 07:27:20 AM
I'm a Sega fanboy, and I own nearly all the Sega AND Nintendo consoles. The multi-platforming of this gen is nice, but still limited to PS360 stuff versus Nintendo stuff. All systems had great games. Fanboys who limit themselves, especially those who can afford to buy multiple systems lately, are missing out on some great games. I prefer exclusivity a lot though, especially if it means games take FULL advantage of whatever a system offers.
Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Dreamcancel more like Deadcancel Edition
Post by: Delta on September 15, 2012, 06:11:58 PM
The annoying thing is Sega wasn't interested about publishing the game, so Platinum had to go to Nintendo and the deal was made.

Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Dreamcancel more like Deadcancel Edition
Post by: LouisCipher on September 15, 2012, 08:29:23 PM
It's a damned if you do situation. Bayonetta didn't sell enough copies to turn a good profit. So do you invest more money in a sequel and hope you recoup loses from the last game and the investment in the sequel? Or do you cut your loses and potentially fumble it.

Impossible to tell how well the game will do on the WiiU. Nintendo hasn't made a great console since the SNES.

As for God Eater 2, I'm looking forward to that too, but I'm getting it on Vita instead of PSP.

Further proof KH3 won't happen (and yet there are still fanboys who will rabidly insist that it's going to happen).
it will happen when vs. XIII happens

I think someone, somewhere (a key SE person) said that KH3 would be worked on only after Vs XIII got released. Looking for that now.

Thanks for saying something Marche. Pissed what happened to Aliens:CM; all the Aliens fans like me had this as a top 10 most anticipated game of 2013, and it's already ranking as at minimum the most disappointing, if not the worst of the year so far.

Metal Gear Rising on the other hand looks to be my most replayed non-fighting game this year. Critics are rating it even better than I expected too.

Well, at least you can play modern games. Still don't have a current-gen console, so I'm forced to play the older stuff.

I think the most recent game I'm playing right now is Umineko no Naku Koro ni, and I am making snail-like progress with that one.

Aliens: CM is disappointing. I enjoyed what it is and I'm a fan of Aliens, but this game have its flaws. I thought this game will bring Aliens back to spotlight. Sadly nope. I think the multiplayer outshines the campaign mode definitely.

Some people argue B1 and B2 isn't even worth that much. The real betrayal of it all was how good they made the first demo of A:CM look.

The demo even kept true to the aliens lore. After watching the whole game on youtube, i can agree about demo being completely different from the final product. I don't think I ever saw a "crusher" in-game.

Title: Re: Off Topic thread:Resurrection Edition
Post by: Valiastice on March 09, 2013, 06:50:37 PM
As an owner of the Vita I will say that the share thing is really only cool for specific games. Also, I guess if you really want to Co-op with people, you can see which games are popular in your area.

Disgaea 3 is one of the games that is awesome with Share. The further you travel (and not play the game), the higher your Honour Quotient gets. Which lets you gain more exp, sell items for more while buying them for cheaper, etc. etc.

Post by: Delta on March 16, 2013, 10:17:53 PM
If some games make something cool and fun with sharing, then it's fine. But if this share thing turns out to be the "3D" of PS4 (as in hella hyped and now forgotten by Sony) then no thanks.

I liked the PS4 so far, but still not crazy about getting one the first day of release.

When it has more games I want.

Outlook for the XboxOne is dire to me. PS4 I can still have hope for. WiiU, just waiting for games, and the first ones I want are due in a few months. As a fighting gamer, I'll mostly prefer consoles as things end up being much easier to manage, with plug-in and play, with different optimizations, etc. If PC gets more stuff together there, I'll be happy as it's one more place to play what I want.

MS >= Nintendo

So which one is it? Greater than or equal to?

Actually, don't bother clarifying, because absolutely nothing is worse than M$! Nintendo can only get better from here if they keep bringing out great games.



A price drop wouldn't hurt either.

Equal to but greater than because Nintendo just plays it safe and announce their own titles as usual. Nothing new

For the now current Gen 8 of Wii U, PS4, and X1, is there anything you've enjoyed so far or are looking forward to?

Only have the Wii U now. Enjoyed the hell out of Wonderful 101 and Sonic LW. Looking forward to Mario 3DW, X, and Bayonetta 2 coming up. PS4 will most likely be my 3rd-party system and main fighter machine after PS3 and Steam (GGXrd first up, and hopefully the next SNK fighter is cross-ported to PS3 & 4). All I have to look forward to on X1 is KI, and I can wait there since that won't be a complete game for a while.

How about y'all?

I'm done with console gaming for the most part. Generation 8 looks like garbage to me.

All I need is my PS2 and that's it.

For everything else, there's Steam, and hopefully more fighters make their way to it.

Still have a PS2 backlog myself, and yeah, I do see myself maybe buying fewer games this gen than last, but I need to see what comes first.

Hopefully SNK keeps up with Console and Steam releases.
