Berry farming seems like it would somewhat violate the spirit of the run.


RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accessories. - Schazer - 01-04-2014

You say "violates the spirit", I hear "zigzagoon pickup party".

I can't check the video on my current device, but how are extra pokemon handled if they end up healed when they hit the PC box?

look at this



Treasure-style run n' gun with 30's-style animation

I want it in my eyes immediately


RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accessories. - Stij - 01-05-2014

Metal Slug is probably a more apt comparison but I haven't played any of those games so Melonspa

And yeah, I'll withhold my judgment until I see more gameplay. I just love the art style though. I can't think of any other game that's used it.

The scanlines are a bit baffling - maybe they were trying to imitate the look of film grain? I dunno.

That seems like both an amazing idea for a game and a terrible actual game. There was certainly creativity involved, just... maybe not a lot of... anything else important?

Also GOSH FIO IS A CUTIE WOW.

Considering I've been muttering it to myself and laughing like a lunatic all day, I can't see how I can NOT do it.

I'll throw a CRANE SWORD BLADE in there for good measure.

i've been thinking about this all day

this is more ridiculous than those super-mundane German sim games


RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accessories. - BRPXQZME - 01-06-2014

Ah yes, vicariously live the everyday life of a normal German.


RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accessories. - Solaris - 01-07-2014

miyamoto hinted at a new nintendo IP on the wii u soon and my first thought is what if the protagonist debuts in smash


RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accessories. - Stij - 01-07-2014

Woah

I legit can't remember what the last new Nintendo IP was. ...Pikmin?


RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accessories. - MaxieSatan - 01-07-2014

I still want a Captain Falcon beat-em-up. This is one of the few constants in my life.

I suspect perhaps not for a generation or two, if that. Sexism (and basically all the other isms) is pretty ingrained in the culture and consumption of gaming as a whole.

The actual story is that Bowser Jr. is exacting revenge on Mario for constantly fucking with his dad, and Mario needs to restore sunshine to Isle Delfino. Peach just gets kidnapped because That's What Happens In Mario.

They just stuck her in there because she couldn't be absent, but apparently it was completely impossible that she exist without getting kidnapped, even if it does not actually drive the story.

God damn it, Nintendo.
To play devil's advocate, she was at least involved in the story, in that Bowser Jr. was trying to determine if she was his mother. Granted, that's not a role with any agency, and there wasn't any real reason to kidnap her, but she at least wasn't completely irrelevant.


RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accessories. - Solaris - 01-16-2014

maybe with more playable princesses nintendo will stop doing the whole gotta save the princess Because Thats The Easy Plot and change it to something interesting or not damsel related at all

thinking about it a lot of nintendo games rely on the premise that X is missing/stolen and you have to get it, princesses, bananas, baby luigi/metroid...


RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accessories. - weirdee - 01-16-2014

"sooooo, since princess peach is a playable character in this game, what should we do"

"how about bowser kidnaps a buncha fairies instead"

"okay"


RE: We chat about videogames and videogame accessories. - Solaris - 01-16-2014

yeah its like, bowser could have just been taking over their home and or abusing their magical artifact or whatever but instead they did that because mario game

So I finished the Bravely Default demo. Seems fun, but I have to ask:

Is there an actual reason why they aren't calling it a Final Fantasy game? Or did the developers think they were making a Final Fantasy game and only later find out that this wasn't the case?
