  1. Metroid Prime 4? Hell yes! Xenoblade 2? Eh. I'm not the biggest fan of Xenoblade, but I did enjoy Xenosaga Episodes 1-3.

     

    In other news: Mia still not in Fire Emblem: Warriors ;w;

  2. My current mood: 

     

  3. Sony's conference was... not great, but also not bad at the same time. They showed off a lot of cool games, especially the new Monster Hunter and Horzion: Zero Dawn expansion and several others. But... I wanted to see and hear more about those games. It's to be expected however, since Sony was bound to have an "eh" conference at some point. That cute, mouse VR game I really want to hear more about and even play, but... it's a VR game, sooooooo... yeah. It's a shame though, because I was actually interested in it.

    1. ShadowStar

      ShadowStar

      Felt a lot like the PC conference to me: Boring, yet Inoffensive. Bethesda < EA < (PC) / Sony < Microsoft < Ubisoft (My Personal Ranking so Far)

    2. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      Yeah, that whole thing I can agree with. They had great games shown, but didn't capitalize on it. I don't much care for Kingdom Hearts anymore, except for its gameplay, so I didn't really care if it was shown or not. Final Fantasy 7 remake on the other hand...

       

      I can also agree with those rankings. Sony is definitely 3rd place overall with Microsoft surprisingly taking 2nd and Ubisoft at No. 1 because Mario XCOM and several other cool things (Beyond Good and Evil 2 *cough*). Also, Ubisoft announced their Just Dance game, showed off a cool little dance number, and then that was it; short, sweet and didn't spend 15 minutes talking about why Just Dance this year is so "innovative and different". They announced it and that was it, twas a good choice.

      I wish there was an edit post option here, but I think ProJared says it best on how well Ubisoft's conference went: 

       

  4. So... anyone else hyped for Mario XCOM? Because I know I am! I freaking love that type of tactical RPG.

      I'm 100% okay with this game, since it's got humor, spirit, charm and it plays like an XCOM game, which I am super down for. I never much cared for the rabbids, but this game changes my outlook on them quite a bit.

    3. Raindrop Valkyrie

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      I mean the Rabbids work pretty well for like fodder units to just fill out your team. A bunch of more or less faceless silly mooks lel. 

      And don't get me wrong I'm loving it just I wouldn't have expected it in 7 million years

    4. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      Neither did people who expected Final Fantasy and Disney making Kingdom Hearts, but look how that went: Somewhere, that's for sure XD

       

      But, I have high hopes for this game, based on the footage I saw. The Rabbids look a lot funnier and less aggravating than they were in the original Wii launch title, so that's a plus.

  5. I heard of Cuphead for awhile now, and actually seeing it is just... weirdly disturbing. Yet, at the same time, I really wanna try it out, because I loved old 1930's cartoons, especially cartoons that were shown on the Chuck Jones show.

  6. Okay, I'm going to be totally honest here and say... the Microsoft conference was... actually pretty good. It focused on a lot of things that people who watch E3 care about: Video games. Not only that but they showed off a lot of cool games, like Super Lucky's Tale which was adorable and I want that game to be multi-platform, that pirate game which was pretty funny. Also I thought that the bro-Orc in Shadows of War so super endearing and funny (I actually really liked Shadows of Mordor, so I'm a sucker for this game, even though it's not an Xbox exclusive.)

     

    It did have some dumb moments, especially the dick-stroking at the beginning. But, they got the guns and wheels out of the way first, then got to the cool stuff. Dragon Ball Fighter Z being announced (well I already heard about it, so whatever) was pretty dope as I'm a huge DBZ fan. But, again, it's not an exclusive so... yeah? I like how they actually want to have a 3D platformer mascot on their console, which is neat and a good choice on their part AND I like how they didn't talk about Halo, Gears of War, or Call of Duty (the games most people often times associate with Microsoft). That said though... I would not want to buy the 10 year old's gamertag console at... 499, 499... 499 USD.  Like... no thanks. It's decent but not 499 USD decent.

     

    Overall... I'd give it a solid 8.5. Had a strong focus on games, but there were some moments at the beginning and end that were dumb and one of the games that said "pre-order" and it was like... a bunch of Cortana's walking around for like 15 seconds and I was just like "why should I pre-order this?"

  7. XboxOneX? Sounds like every 10 year old's gamertag gone wrong. Pretentious, cock-stroking idiots, Microsoft. *slow clap* All I'm hearing from Microsoft is "look at how badass our hardware is!" PC gamers are just like...

     

    PC Gamers: *blink* "and...?"

     

    Also... Microsoft and their focus on guns and wheels, as usual. Because ofc.

  8. You know what I want more than anything? Not another mainline Pokemon game for another year, and give us another Pokemon Conquest game or Mystery Dungeon. Super Mystery Dungeon was awesome, but it had pacing issues, and Conquest was a great Disgaea/Fire Emblem/FF Tactics game that I want more of.

     

    Give me more creative side-games and not constant mainline games every year; I'm getting burnt out like no other.

      I also hated the living hell out of a lot of the characters and how they built them up with such fanfare, but didn't do crap with them. If their names weren't Lilie or Hao, then they didn't matter at all. They should've done their thing and stopped while they were ahead, than just wasting my time with useless dialogue that didn't amount to ANYTHING.

       

      *takes breath*

      You're not the first person I've heard say that and it's pretty valid honestly. I'm not too excited myself because SM itself wasn't too long ago and I don't feel like it's been long enough yet. Maybe they'll get me interested, maybe not. I believe in judging a game based on it's own merits and negatives however rather than bringing in bias from previous editions.

       

      Team Skull was lit though, loved them. Easily the best part about the games.

    4. Combat

      Combat

      My biggest issue in Sun was the lack of exploring and dungeons. The game felt a bit like a rail shooter IMO. That, and some of the Z Crystals were stupidly easy to get, since I was led to believe we would need to work to get all of them.

       

      Guzma was the best leader so far though. 

  9. This is what I do, everyday. Sort of. If it's not networking or fixing other people's problems on campus, then it's me reimaging laptops to be sold for like... 10-60 dollars. Seriously, they are that cheap. That said, they are i3's with 4GB of ram and Windows 7 on them. It's perfect for watching movies, YouTube or doing homework. That and I changed out the Hard Drives/DVD Drive and did a tune up on them. We also have i5's with 8GB of ram and dedicated graphics which is cool.

     

     

    I was multi-tasking all 9 of these laptops XD

      you can reimage 9 comuters at the same time? i mean can you handle it?

    2. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      I'm able to do that, no problem. It's actually quite fun. I actually wanted to do about 10 of them, but we only had 9 Dell chargers.

    3. Anime

      Anime

      Dang, you're good i mean i'd go nuts if i had to handle that many comuters simultanously

  10. So, Ultra S/M aren't coming to the Switch:

      A weird decision, but one that has precedent I guess.

    2. Combat

      Combat

      I mean, they already have the code. Might as well keep it there, though I still think it's a cash grab.

    3. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      tbh, it's whatever tho. I'm gonna play it regardless of the system, but at least Pokken is getting a DX release with (hopefully) a better roster and some of the Arcade exclusive 'mons included.

       

      And maybe better voice acting xD

  11. To those of you who wanted Pokemon Stars, allow me to put you guys in the band camp with those who wanted Pokemon Grey, and Z. Also, I feel like Game Freak were trolling when they made the names "Ultra Sun" and "Ultra Moon".

      what if Pokemon Stars IS ultra sun and moon? that name was never anounced to be the name of a game. and I'll say it again:

      This is going the gen 5 path, which is a good thing

    3. Hycrox

      What Wolfox said, aside from the fact that Solgaleozma has one pretty unnecessary arm

    4. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      I like the name Ultra Sun/Moon, because it's quintessentially Japanese. You can tell that a Japanese game studio made it, because it has "Ultra" in the title.

  12. I actually think these Radiant Dawn hack fights are super rad to watch! I'm in a huge FE mood at the moment, and I've been playing through Path of Radiance, Radiant Dawn and Awakening again lately.

     

     

    1. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      The Unleashed Extreme series is probably one of the best, albeit in 240p (vomits)

       

       

  13. Fire Emblem: Warriors character that I really, really want is Mia, because goddamn she hasn't gotten anything since Awakening in Spotpass. I was hoping she'd be usable in Heroes, but no. Sad face. She might be behind a paywall, like what they did in Hyrule Warriors where they did the Wind Waker DLC pack, etc.

     

    I just want to play as a female swordsman that was from my favorite Fire Emblem game ;w; Lyn is cool too, and I'm most certainly sure she's gonna be in it.

  14. Say what you will about First Person Shooter games all being the fucking same, what with their half-assed story modes and FAR too much emphasis on the multiplayer side, but Halo 1, and 2 had both going for them. God I miss classic Halo 2 multiplayer more than any shooter game. Glad to see people working on a project to bring it back: http://www.h2v.online/

     

    I normally hate the hell out of FPS's (believe me, I hate FPS's), but all I ever want out of a shooter is a solid singleplayer experience, is that too hard to ask out of modern FPS's? At least Doom 2016 gave me what I craved since Halo 2 - a solid singleplayer experience. None of that stupid emphasis on multiplayer, DLC, Map Packs, and pre-order garbage.

      Borderlands, yeah, I can agree with. It was a fun RPG-Shooter game and it had a pretty interesting Telltale game based off of the series. But, other than that I can never find myself finishing the games because when I hit the 70% mark of the game I just stop, for one reason or another. Possibly because of how tedious it got at points.

       

      But, the thing is I don't play FPS's, they are my least played genre, however they did have some pretty good shooters, like the original Halo, Halo 2, Goldeneye, Time Splitters original Doom 1 and 2 as well as Doom 2016. All of which were solid on their own merits, without multiplayer being shoved down our throats.

    3. Raindrop Valkyrie

      Raindrop Valkyrie

      Ye. Give Wolfenstein: The New Order a shot then. They didn't even tack on a Multiplayer for that game. 

      Also I'm not the biggest fan of the genre myself either. But it's msotly since it's a mostly online one these days and I'm not really a fan of online games etc. ((I say knowing full well I play LoL... though barely anymore.))

    4. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      Sounds like something I'd need to look into. The thing is I don't mind FPS multiplayer, so long as it's done right and it's not irritating like CoD and even like Halo 4 and on. To where it's so mindless and the developers only care about pushing the multiplayer aspect of those games to high-hell with day one DLC, pre-order bonuses before the game is even announced (which is fucking infuriating in its own right) and making the singleplayer pretty much barren and dull.

       

      Halo 2 had a pretty solid multiplayer that I really miss to this day as well as having a singleplayer that was very fun and had a story that I actually cared about. But, if an FPS can deliver to me a solid singleplayer experience (because I'm not holding my breath that any FPS multiplayer will be good, unless it's a standalone game like TF2, Overwatch, etc) then I'll play it.

  16. When you go to check on Nintendo Switch games on Amazon and then get morbidly curious as to why the Switch's price is almost twice as much as it is in retail...

     

     

    What the actual fuck? When I bought my Switch it was 299.99 at Wal-Mart. Why is it $400.00+ dollars online when in retail its cheaper? Normally its the other way around 0.o I always prefer online shopping, but this is just bizarre, since it's been like this since the Switch was released. 299 retail 400+ online.

  17. I just got this in the mail today. People say Final Fantasy 6 or Chrono Trigger are some of the best SNES RPGs. And I'd agree that those are pretty high up there in my list, but people over here in the states probably never played this gem. The first, ever, console RPG to have voice acting (old PC games did it before this, but I'm talking specifically home consoles) and an opening theme that had lyrics in it. I'm referring to Tales of Phantasia. Not the god-awful GBA port with its many technical problems and framerate issues, but the original Super Famicom version. The PS1 version is pretty awesome too, but this specific version has a lot of pedigree and history to it.

     

    It's a shame most people didn't get to play this game when it first came out, because it never came to the states (because of fucking course it didn't ;w; ). Also Arche Klein and Suzu Fujibayashi are both too cool for school <3

     

    I actually managed to get this in its original box as well as with its manual. The only problem with the game itself is that it doesn't save. Yeah, unfortunately cartridge based games like this suffer from their batteries running dry over the years so you have to manually change them out.

      ToP is pretty good, but I still prefer Chrono Trigger. I like the whole "time travel" bit and the various double/triple techs. Not to mention Lavos' epic world ending spikes of death. The NDS version added some new areas/sidequests (and I think a little more detail into Lucca's past) as well as the Dream Devourer.

    2. Dylanrockin

      Dylanrockin

      Yeah, I do know that the DS version added in quite a few, cool, extra bosses. Especially the radish looking dude, whose name escapes me. Personally I'd put ToP in 1st, Chrono Trigger in 2nd, FF6 in 3rd. I also, fun fact, just ordered a in-the-box Chrono Trigger, Seiken Densetsu 2 (Secret of Mana for those of you in the US) and Fire Emblem: Monshō no Nazo (Mystery of the Emblem).

  18. So far, I love my job working IT. I get to work on computers, work on cool projects like building the E-Sports room at my University AND when there's nothing to do I chill and don't even get yelled at for it.
