  1. Looks like Nintendo beat you to the punch with Pokemon Sword. Maybe call it Pokemon Armor, now?
  2. Muimui not very interesting, so Tora forgot he exist.

  3. You are alive and well, it seems. I am so happy right now.

     

    Now make Amelia x Lilith canon. 

     

     

     

    Or not. It's your game. I just want to see how you build off of that massive twist at the end of Version 4.

     

    Also, Please don't Axe Scizor. I love him. 

     

    Seriously, Someone like you visiting these Forums once is enough to get everyone excited. Even if the news is... less than favorable.

     

     

  4. Then there is a god in this miserable world after all. Or not... if He says that Desolation is canceled. By the way, we already have Themes from Street Fighter and Final Fantasy in this game. Why don't we add themes from Castlevania and Metal Gear as well?
  5. Fair enough. I still ultimately disagree with this decision, but here I am, raising hell over it. Still following this rule, but I think it is important to assert that my mind has not been changed.
  6. Think you may have misread my post. I understand there are derogatory words targeted at Asians, however, how many of those slurs are used in everyday language? I was talking about words that we used as insults commonly, like the R-word before people started cracking down on it.
  7. Danmachi is a pretty average anime.

     

    In spite of that, I like it. It’s fun, even if Hestia is annoying. Bell is definitely... an average insecure teenage protagonist. But he’s my favorite character, and he makes the show worth watching.

     

    I don’t think it’s great. But I’ll call it OK. Enjoyable. I very much want to see season 2, even if I already read the light novels.

  8. I... really don’t agree with this. Still feels like an overreaction by people who can’t understand Context. Just like the R word. Feels like far too politically correct censorship. Not going to start a fuss over this, and I’ll follow the new rule. But The N word, I can understand. It has no reason other than to be derogatory. This... not so much. I, however, hope this rule never shows up on Gamefaqs or Reddit. I’ll leave my “offensive/the human race is weak nowadays” posts for those communities. I genuinely hope that a commonly used term that’s eventually gonna be considered derogatory against people of Asian descent comes up. Then I can complain about the censorship of that word safely, since I’m a person of Asian descent. So, what’s the new word we’re gonna use? Eventually that will get banned as well, and the cycle will continue.
  9. The Beyblade Metal Saga is average, honestly.

     

    It wouldn't be so average if the Main character wasn't such a Gary Stu.

     

    Literally everyone around him: Rival, Villain to Anti-hero, little brother figure, comical "villain" who likes crabs, etc. is more interesting than the MC.

  10. If I could go through Reborn without evolving Torracat, I would. But, Infernape and Blaziken are objectively better picks, and I absolutely despise the Final Evolution to Litten's line. So there isn't a real reason for me to pick Litten. Remove it from Smash Bros, and you perfect the roster of characters.
  11. So, I got together a bunch of friends and we watched Ghostbusters 2016.

     

    In the entire 2 hours and 10 minutes of the movie, I don't think anyone laughed.

     

    In the original, most of the comedy worked with the story. There was a sense of flow, and the movie didn't "stop" to tell a Joke. Most of the jokes worked with the story, creating a blend of humor and storytelling that's enjoyable to watch.

     

    In this film, they completely failed at that. A lot of the "Jokes" they told weren't funny, nor did they work with the story. 

     

    It's really just a poorly made film that relied on cartoonish characterization, controversial marketing, and a terrible script. I have no Idea how this made a 74% on Rotten Tomatoes.

     

    Anyways, after the movie was done, there was a unanimous agreement among my friends that this movie was terrible. Even the girls in this group of friends were part of that unanimous agreement, and you know why that is important.

  12. If I ever get the time to learn RPGMaker and make my own Pokemon game, would this be possible within the limits of the engine? For those of you who don't know, Psycho Mantis was a boss in Metal Gear Solid 1, the greatest Playstation 1 game ever made. He apparently had psychic abilities like being able to read your mind. To simulate this, the game would read the memory card, and if a compatible game had memory saved on that memory card, Psycho Mantis would call you out on it. Here is a demonstration. For its time, It was a really impressive use of the technology at the time. Very creative. It made for an awesome boss fight. Nowadays... It isn't used as much, but even if I were to put it into my Pokemon Fangame, It wouldn't be as impressive, as the Idea has already been done over. But It could make for an interesting Psychic Type gym leader. The whole "She's really a Psychic" factor would still be there. I don't know much about RPGMaker, but I'm guessing that to achieve this, you'd have to write the code to read the Local Disk on the Computer, go into Users, then go into the folder of the User who's playing the game, and Check the "Saved Games" folder, and see if there's a file called "Pokemon Reborn" in there. Then you have the gym leader say something like "You've played Pokemon Reborn before, haven't you? The creator of this game thinks Lin is the best character, even though she barely has any screentime." Or in an alternate case, have it read the folder for "Pokemon Rejuvenation" and say "So, you've played Xenoblade Pokemans, haven't you? Oh, Interceptor." And So on and So forth. I'd probably have it read 4 times before breaking the program. I'd guess that this would use the same kind of code that allows you to save games. So would it be possible within the limits of RPGMaker?
  13. If Persona 5 doesn’t get released for the Nintendo Switch by the end of the year, then the PlayStation 3 version will suffice.

     

    I really want to play this game. But I also want it to be accessible at all times. I don’t bring my PlayStation 3 to college with me. So My Nintendo Switch would give me access to it at all times.

     

    Really, port this already critically acclaimed game to the Nintendo Switch, and since Nintendo Nerds have gotten exposure to Persona via Joker in Smash, you are pretty much printing money, even if you set the game as low as $40. Atlus doesn’t really have a good reason not to port this game to the Switch. Unless technical issues arise, but if this game can run on a PlayStation 3, it can run on the Switch.

    1. Wolfox

      The reason might be an exclusivity deal with Sony. If that isn't running out yet they literally can't port the game yet

    2. ShadeStrider

      ShadeStrider

      I looked it up. As far as the internet is concerned, there is no exclusivity deal we know of.

  14. Apparently the chances of her appearing with max multipliers is 0.712 percent. But that maximum is not feasible to do repeatedly, so your chances are more around 0.5 if you raise your luck high enough. This is not good game design. This is what we call using RNG to annoy the player. You could burn through 200 legendary cores, and you might get nothing. Whoever decided on this, instead of, I don't know, making her accessible through a difficult quest should be severely punished. They should be given Immortality, hung by the neck, then cut into a million pieces, then all the pieces should be thrown to the Sharks. Then once the sharks have eaten, they should be dissected and the pieces removed. Then the Pieces should be locked inside a Metal Coffin and then thrown into a Volcano. Then they can burn. I'm actually... disgustingly proud of that punishment I came up with. It sounds like something Karen from Pokemon Rejuvenation would punish people with. I guess that makes me a psychopath. I still really love this game. And I was Fine with getting all the other Rare Blades. But this one... I don't care if KOS MOS is an Icon for the Xeno franchise. They need to make her more accessible.
  15. I want My goddamn Persona 5 Port for Switch.

     

    Even if I already have a PS3, I'll wait and see if it makes it to the Switch, as I'll have access to my switch regularly during the College Semester.

  16. Adolf Hitler from Persona 2 should be in Smash Bros.

     

     

    This is a great Idea that in no way will cause any controversy.

    1. Monochrome_Complex

      Monochrome_Complex

      Still one of the most bizarre things in that franchise.

       

      The fact he's wearing shades makes it even zanier lol.

  17. Astral Chain looks pretty damn sweet. But where the hell is my Octopath Traveler 2? Either way, the selection of JRPGs in this direct blew me away. Not much Smash Bros news, but that’s okay.
  18. So, Why is Sexual Harassment as comedy such a common thing in Anime today?

      A simple answer would be that Japan is very different compared to western cultures. Those things are probably less shocking there.

    3. doombotmecha

      doombotmecha

      Or it's because, to the modern demographic of those animes, sexual assault is a joke. I mean, shitty people exist here too. You can't pretend that it's just a Japan problem if western anime fans are buying Blu-Rays and figurines and so forth.

    4. Raindrop Valkyrie

      lt's also hardly unique to the medium

    I know, I stole this comment from someone in the comment section.

     

    This trailer embodies "Top Ten Anime Betrayals."

     

    I was pretty excited for this movie when the trailer came out.

     

    Then I watched the movie.

     

    Then I wished I hadn't watched the movie.

      The More I think about it, I think this film is a bad version of Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty. It constantly tries to "subvert expectations", without understanding why "subverting expectations" works as a storytelling tool.

       

      Metal Gear Solid 2 subverted Expectations by having Raiden playable instead of Snake. And it Subverted expectations by revealing to you that your mission was nothing more than an elaborate simulation designed to mimic the events of Shadow Moses. It did both of these things, however, to strengthen its narrative. There was an actual point to it. Even having Raiden playable was a sort of jab at you, the player, who's sort of a stand in for Solid Snake, who's only learnt things through Video games and hasn't had much real experience. 

       

      The Last Jedi only "subverted expectations" for the sake of either surprising you, or just making you somewhat frustrated. That's really it. There is no narrative purpose to any of the subversions, except maybe creating more problems for the story. There wasn't a point to any of it. You could given us something that we expected, and nothing would change, except for maybe the story being less problematic.

       

      Oh, and also the annoying character named Rose. But MGS2 Rosemary is considerably less of an annoyance than Rose Tico, who, by the way, is now popularly considered the Worst Star Wars character ever. And Rosemary had a purpose in MGS2 that didn't bring the Story down.

  20. ITrailer: You can sail the seas with Jack Sparrow in Kingdom Hearts 3. It’s a Pirates life for me.

     

     

    Me: That’s nice, but where the hell is my Difficult Sephiroth Boss Fight? 

     

     

    If there is DLC including some damn Final Fantasy characters, then I’ll consider picking up Kingdom Hearts III.

     

     

    Or Xeno. Xeno characters would be nice. KOS MOS, Shulk, Rex... Elma...

      The lack of FF characters was one of my very few complaints with the game. It was an awesome experience. Just wish I could have seen the FF crew and had Sephiroth as a Secret Boss like always. Can't really say I'd be down for Xeno characters though. I'm not sure how well they'd fit honestly. Crossovers are always fun though, so who knows. 

       

      Also, I have to admit the PotC world was amazing this time around. I thought it was handled much better than previous entries. I think it and the world based on Tangled were easily my favorites. 

  21. This was one of my favorite Heart to Hearts in Xenoblade Chronicles 2. This was honestly one of Tora's best moments. He's like an innocent child.

     

    To be fair though, a woman dressing in Men's Clothing is not unusual in society today, But generally, you can still tell that she's a girl.

      Tora was such an awesome character. I think he and Poppy were easily my favorite characters in XBC2. I just hated I didn't get more time with them and Zeke and Pandy (who was easily best girl) since my least favorite character (Morag) was the far superior tank and I really needed Nia for a healer. 

  22. One of these days, Fire Emblem Heroes will have Non Fire Emblem characters.

     

     

    1. doombotmecha

      doombotmecha

      You mean pre-Awakening FE characters? 😛

       

      But yeah, I see all the crossovers for Granblue Fantasy and it makes me sad because I'd love to get to play with like Joker or 2B but I just can't see myself getting into another Gacha game.
