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".

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.

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.

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.
-
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.)) -
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.

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.

fangame Verdant Tales: Symphonic Horizon
Dylanrockin replied to Dylanrockin's topic in Fan-game Exposé
So, I just checked something out, and so far there are 43 original characters in my game so far. Well 43 that have artwork, but there are actually 51 original characters in the entire game. That's 51 characters that are involved in the story and aren't NPC's that are copy/paste Trainers to fight. That's a lot of characters, and most JRPG's generally have about 30-50 on average. That's not counting generics. These are all one of a kind characters. As for NPC Trainers, well... who cares? I don't XD However, I am going to be livestreaming in about 2 hours, so for those interested, feel free to hop in early: -
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.
-
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).

fangame Verdant Tales: Symphonic Horizon
Dylanrockin replied to Dylanrockin's topic in Fan-game Exposé
So, I've got some time off from work during the weekends, but in the coming few days I plan on over-hauling several key aspects of my game, especially reworking certain cutscenes. Mostly due to continuity errors, and mostly due to other things that didn't make much sense. Also, I will be re-working some game mechanics as well as including several new items and graphics into the game. One other important thing is that I am currently animating 2 new animations for my game. And since my pay-roll at my new job has been quite nice (significantly more than if I was to work 2 jobs at the same time) I am now able to afford these things more openly without having to worry about partitioning my money in other areas. As for the manga, my Patreon page for it is now live and you all are now able to check it out. Incentives and goals are listed, but I also wanted to add this: I am basically working on both the manga and the game at the same time, as well as prioritizing about 80% of my money towards it, which... is a lot of money. As of this month I will be posting a couple pages, but more than that you'll have to wait for the actual manga to be released. Also, for newcomers of my thread and don't know what I'm talking about, and for those who are saying that I'm talking out my ass, here are some example pages: https://www.patreon.com/SymphonicHorizonManga -
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.
These are all the Laptops that we are going to re-image on Monday.
Crappy photo from my Iphone 5's crappy camera of the Laptops that I need to get around to finishing on Monday:

God, the finale of this anime... IT'S SO GOOD!!!

See you, Space Cowboy:

Anyone who has a Playstation Vita what games do you have on it? Currently I have Phantasy Star Nova, Tales of Hearts R, Soul Sacrifice, Spelunky, Rogue Legacy, Gravity Rush and Ys: Memories of Celceta.
Any games to recommend that isn't Persona 4 Golden?

Happy 1000 Posts (I guess?)! Here, I finally have a note-worthy update video for ya'll! This is a pretty big deal of an update, so feel free to take a gander! -
Anyone else with glasses take them off before they eat or is it just me? I don't like steam fogging up my glasses XD

So... I may or may not have just bought more Japanese Tales manga...

Puyo Puyo Tetris for the Nintendo Switch looks like a hell of a lot of fun! Also the characters are super cute, so that's a plus! (Shame that I don't have anyone in my house to play with ;w; )

I managed to create a program in C# that automatically sorts my taxes for me. So, whenever tax season rolls around all I have to do is press one button and its done. None of that 1-2 hour long nonsense of doing taxes.

For those of you interested I've posted a livestream of some game development that I've been working on today. Not quite as long as I'd been hoping since my internet started to whack out on me. But, for the most part I accomplished quite a bit, while also talking about relevant things. -
Mmmm, I just love reading things like this. These kinds of people just give my life meaning:
As if it's any of your business...? Also, you might wanna work a little bit on that syntax.
DAMN RIGHT!
Don't make a game if you're unwilling to actually put in any effort into learning the engine. Also, I paid for half of my tiles, so... the answer is no. If he was just asking for advice I'd say he's at least proactive in wanting to learn..

I question how people spend upwards to 3000 dollars on Love Live content... How? Just what is it with Love Live that I'm not getting? Anyone who has played the mobile game/watched the anime, please tell me just what it is that I'm not getting about it. What I see, when I watched someone on Twitch play the game is that it looks like your typical school Idol anime game.

The same way people spend hundreds of dollars on Fire Emblem Heroes, or on Champions and skins in League of Legends.
Some people value their time more than they value their money. And if one likes the gameplay and the characters, it is natural to want to speed up progression, especially if you have the means to do so. Sure this may be an extreme case, but some people have a lot of money, and spending that much over the course of a few years may be a reasonable investment if you find it to be a fun game.
And rhythm games are fun. I've probably spent +50 dollars on song packs for Cytus and Deemo.
-
Well the main question is just what is it about Love Live that I'm not getting? Like, I see people making Honoka Shrines with plushies, expensive figures, and everything Honoka all in one place and what I'm thinking is "It's a cutesy anime about high school idols? What am I not getting... here?" It's kind of like what happened with Sailor Moon when that was first around, but back then I could understand why it was so popular. Love Live I just don't get. I'm not saying its bad because clearly its not, but I'd have to hear it from someone who's played the games and watched the anime to understand what makes it so appealing and make people spend a little too much money on characters for their mobile game. Just what is it about the series that makes people's heads explode?

People can grow attached to a thing for any number of reasons, and there are many ways to enjoy a product.
Currently, there's a person donating 100$ to Ame's Patreon every month. Over 2½ years he too will spend the equivalent of 3000$ on Pokemon Reborn. Merely because he likes this silly little fanmade Pokemon game. Some people spend thousands on League of Legends, others on World of Warcraft. People get attached to things for deeply personal reasons. But to sum up, people get into things because they find them to be fun, rewarding and fulfilling. To some people those needs are fulfilled by Love Live.
Is there a need to understand it on a deeper level?

I call bullshit!
The PS3 barely managed to equal out to the Xbox 360's sales. But they were evenly matched, even though the Xbox 360, at launch, had that... 57% failure rate of Red Ring's.
But then you look at PS4 vs Xbone and then...
That is the textbook definition of hubris there, kids. Microsoft's sales in 2013 reflects how awful their E3 Press Conference was, which for those of you who watched that conference... ooof boy. It was bad. They were so full of themselves and tried marketing the Xbone as a Home Media Player, rather than focusing on what their general market cares about: games.

With the summer here, no more school and a full-time job paying me lots of money in my field of study I have completed loads of events so far! I plan on posting a new video in regards to a new menu I was working on the past 2 weeks or so! It's the new, revamped Ability Matrix that has been, for the most part, finished Also, the reason why I have not posted anything in regards to any sort of character artwork is well... practically all of them are now finished. There are maybe 2-3 left for the tournament, but other than that there aren't anymore characters that need designing. Also, I spent the past week revising the story of my game and re-ordering sequences of events. Mainly in the direction of the storyline and its "arcs". I also changed how the Next Dimension Tournament works, at least in regards to the story's premise. Instead of it being the penultimate arc of the game it is the final arc, mostly because I find it very difficult to believe that after certain things happen you just magically go to this island in another dimension while this evil bad-guy is just... waiting? Somewhere? So, to make things flow better I changed it to the Celestial Island being the penultimate arc with the Next Dimension Tournament being the final arc before the final ascension through Destiny Outlook. Also, here is a new map I finished awhile ago. This is the Volcano Island Archipelago (yes I know it's only 1 island) This island is purely optional and this mostly only serves as an area to catch a certain Legendary Pokemon after you finish up the Northern Base. Also, this is roughly around the time when one of the Masked Trainers utilizes her own Legendary Pokemon which she refers to as her "pet mouse" that she uses for killing burglars. That legendary Pokemon in question being Primal Groudon. Why and how does she have that Pokemon? Well, first of all she's old. Really old. And secondly she has her ways of controlling Pokemon that are far too powerful for a regular Trainer to ever hope to use.
