Hello all who… still give a damn about this blog. I am very much aware that it has been damn near centuries since I last posted. Again, I still have no computer or internet to do so. Evicted my lazy ass room mate. Aint gonna be sleeping on my damn couch watching no big tooth Steve Harvey who thinks he can offer good dating advice! Or those fake cunts on “The Real”. You ever just watch mainstream tv and think “Am I getting old or is tv becoming more obnoxious?”. These 2 shows along with Wendy “Man jaw” Williams just drives my patience through the walls!
Despite the lack of internet, I have to admit it’s actually quite… relaxing. You don’t have to deal with jackoffs just because you said a few unkind words about so and so video game they happen to think is a great achievement. I already got a few chumps up my ass about Monster Hunter I see. God damn ya’ll can type some essays! It’s this thing about having to defend every single word you write up about so and so context that gets tiring after a while that… not having to worry about it around normal people outside of digital land is not a bad trade off. Well… aside from this one guy who keeps taunting me over having a PS4. Hope you enjoy Mortal Kombat X tomorrow you lucky bastard!!! Ugh! So pissed off about the delay. Pushed back until JUNE!!!? So… many words about that.
Hell, I would have words about this “Handsome collection” that rightfully has fans outraged. I would have words about the new Star Fox being “Episodic”. I could even have words about Destiny being online only (good thing I didn’t buy back in December, eh? :P) But… I’m in a good mood. The R button on my 2DS magically un-fucked itself so yay! More Tit or Alive Dimensions on the go!
Instead, I’ll just have words on 2 games that I had been anticipating since their announcement.
GUILTY GEAR XRD
Lemme tell yah, it makes no damn sense for one game to be so hard to track down. Having to traverse halfway across the county to pick up one copy is absurd. It also makes no sense to have less copies of the game distributed than Blaz fuckin Blue! Oh but I know I’ll be mauled with messages of how successful Blazblue is compared to Guilty Gear in the long run.
Anywho, after my perilous journey to find a game, I popped this bitch in actually expecting the worse. Considering what nonsense went into BlazBlue and seeing the characters that were already in this game were the “unique” ones, I figured the devs wanted to emphasis the character’s gimmicks. Come to find out, I need to stop being paranoid. Xrd plays more or less… exactly the same as previous GG titles. Meaning you’re not really missing out on anything by not playing this game.
Funny thing I noticed on the back of the box is how it advertises “a bunch of new characters”…. and you only have 3 available while 2 others are DLC. That ain’t a whole lot considering how small this roster is compared to…I think…. Accent Core was the last one? Anywho, the new characters available, Ramla…. fuck, I can’t spell that shit… the new black chick, lets just say that, is literally a button masher with 2 big ass swords and a talking head. This… “bed man”, probably the most bizarre character in any fighting game, has lots of Blazblue styled gimmicks, and Sin, another mother fucker voiced by the Frog Power Ranger. This man stays finding work! And you know the best part? All 3 of them are over-powered as shit.
While the game’s roster is tiny, I can’t be too upset. At least most of my mains are still in the game. It’s not like Smash Bros. where most of them were removed or nerfed to all hell that I can’t even marginally function in the game. I don’t quite see how this game is that much slower, however, considering some complaints were levied at the speed. About the only thing that is slower is some characters moves. You know that shit where Sol jumps at the edge of the screen and then does some bad ass “fly at you from across the screen like a boss” move? Well, it has an extra animation where if it connects, Sol will squish the opponent into the ground while burning them. Shit like that would make the game feel slower, definitely, but there’s not a whole lot of that going on. The mini cutscenes that occur after doing super moves is tiring, though. Almost makes me NOT want to use Sol’s Falcon Punch or w/e. Aside from that, w/e reduced speed there is.. is trivial at best.
There isn’t much I can say about gameplay, really. If you’ve played Guilty Gear before, nothing has changed… which is cool. It’s the same old Guilty Gear we’ve all enjoyed, now with more titties.
Everything else, though…. is fucked. I’m talking content. Xrd has practically tarnished, in my eyes, the image of this series. I’ve always imagined Guilty Gear as this series that was reminiscent of the early/mid/late 90’s anime (or the johnny come late exports from Toonami and Adult Swim) when they were still good. With a visual style and flair similar to Outlaw Star or whatnot. It had that distinct feeling to it that you got a cartoon from Japan that, while kinda fucked up, was still moderately awesome. Xrd, on the other hand, jumps on the Naruto Bandwagon and completely FUCKS whatever coolness the series had. The artwork is horrible for the mere crime of making Ky Kiske look like a bitch. The one thing I noticed was that the characters seem more over proportioned than usual. I’m used to fighting games having characters on steroids, but GG tended to break away from the norm of standard fighting game males (a little too much, eh Bridget?). Here, ASW said hell wit it and wanted to compete with Street Fighter for protein addicted character designs. Or maybe it’s just Sol looking retarded. Hell, even Chipp looks retarded. Nay.. SOUNDS retarded. Japanese fighting games pick the worst dubs, but it feels awkward for Chipp to sound like mother fucking Goku while campaigning for presidency. If that sounds awful, it gets worse. Sol’s VA desperately wants to mimmick Steven Blum (and I can’t blame him), I swear ever since I played Xillia, Jude Mathis haunts me everywhere I go as he makes Ky sound like he has allergies. I’m indifferent to Venom, but overall……FUCK!
Bad VA’s have nothing on the characters themselves. Maybe it’s my fault for implanting my own perceptions of how these characters act and what their motives are…….but seriously… why the fuck is Chipp a politician?! That is the main thing that bothers me the most about this game. There’s a lot more fucked up concepts such as Axl Low being some time traveler, Johnny being a country bumpkin, or why people seem so focused on May being Japanese. To top it off, Justice looks like a deformed Freeza. About the only “normal” character is Sol himself. What I don’t understand is why he’s baby sitting Ky’s kid. Infact… since when did Ky become a king?!
I would have hoped Story Mode would’ve elaborated on those details and more. But instead, it piles on more stupidity. Sin (Ky’s brat) “interrogates” Ramlashitforbrains…. by giving her a cheese burger. Why? I don’y know. At first, I figured she’s a bad guy who wants to destroy the world, but instead she’s just some poor soul who has to be taught the value of emotions in order to feel human… even though she’s a robot(?).
This dumb shit that Japan injects into their games feels inappropriate at the worst of times. In Guilty Gear, it’s out of place. I’d imagine that Guilty Gear was about Sol’s war against Gears and Human/Gear conflict this side of X-Men. But here, there’s so much bullshit about alternate dimensions, “That Man” being a good guy somehow, talking elderly dragons who somehow have the answer to all problems, and some illuminati type of organization wanting to take over the world. I might as well be playing Aquapazza! The Story mode is much worse than what I described, obviously cause I know fuck all about whats going on in it nor do I care enough to recall that information. The only thing going through my mind was the amount of talking in tedious government committees lazying about with exposition and analysis of details. Japan loves talking about details, apparently as their games REEK with exposition. One shouldn’t have to force themselves to stay awake during any segment of a game. This shit just cures my insomnia.
Overall, I’d say it’s an ok game as long as you make up your own head canon and divorce the story mode from your memory. My Head Canon? Sol kills Sin, Venom and Rammy fuck, and Chipp kills Hilary Clinton and takes her spot as a presidential candidate. Bam!
RESIDENT EVIL REVELATIONS 2
Capcom surprised the shit out of me back when I first played Revelations 1. That is how Resident Evil was supposed to be! None of this scripted action bullshit with 5 or 6, filled to the brim with quick time events. Rev 1 was the definitive Resident Evil experience! I’ll take that shit to grave!
No really, I will. Because Revelations 2 disappoints.
I mean… there’s a lot to like about Rev 2. It’s definitely scarier than Rev 1 and certainly plays better. And the prospect of LOCAL FUCKING COOP is always a plus… but it feels 20x more tedious than any Resident Evil game I’ve played thus far. For one, the partner system (and Coop overall) is a mess. In both 5 and 6, both characters in a given campaign have the same exact abilities as the other, with the only differences being whoever has a stick or a hole. Both characters could use guns, do finishers, etc etc. But in this game, Capcom decided to implement severe limitations to the characters abilities.
For example, one scenario has Claire Redfield and Moira Burton as playable characters. Claire can use fire arms and follow up attacks, but cannot open barred door or chests with special locks. Moira, on the other hand, is “afraid” of using guns, meaning she can’t use them… at all, and is stuck with a crowbar, meaning her combat potential is limited as fuck. But she can do all the other things Claire can’t. Forced Coop Emphasis… engaged! Follow-up attacks, btw, are only available when you have successfully stunned an enemy. But early on, only Moira has the ability to stun enemy, while Claire can do a follow up attack, and only Moira can do finishers. Finishers, btw, are moves you can use on enemies that are laid out on the ground. Knowing this , you can see how frustrating it is trying to get a groove together in kicking some ass. Sure, you’re not really supposed to be kicking ass, you’re supposed to run the fuck away from enemies. Don’t mind if I do! But if you’re gonna have combat abilities from the last 4 games, don’t hamper them in some vain attempt to emphasize cooperation. It’s silly that both Claire and Moira don’t have similar abilities in THAT instance. I could forgive the whole crowbar thing and unlocking chests because yeah, who cares… but follow up attacks and finishers being exclusive to certain characters is pushing it.
Oh, but that’s not even the worst part. See, at least Moira HAS some combat ability and is infact more useful than Claire in a throwdown. Another scenario has Barry Burton and some little girl called Natalia. Little Girl… IE… no combat ability… whatsoever. So for the most part… Barry can do follow up attacks and finishers all by himself. Natalia really can’t do shit. She is psychic and can detect where enemies are as well as enemy weakpoints, but it’s really goddamned tedious having to switch between 2 characters just to see enemy locations and weakspots, or put all the pressure on player 2 to do all recon shit while Player 1 has all the fun doing the shit mopping. Or not. Barry is a slave to Natalia’s information while Barry does all the dirty work. Otherwise, Natalia is a damned liability, and if it’s coop, equates to a most tedious gameplay experience. It’s not real coop as it just feels tacky and slow.
Then there’s the game’s length which is attributed to the fact that Capcom went into the trend of Episodic nonsense before releasing a full game. It’s 4 episodes long and while each episode is lengthy, I feel it has more to do with it’s incredibly slow pace and obvious padding rather than actually being long. There’s a lot of unnecessary back tracking to go through during the 4th episode and in particular, a LOT of goddamned puzzles! I should’ve known better than to expect a game with limited character abilities to not have this bullshit, but here they are. Not only is the coop and puzzles dumb, but even some areas in the game demand you spin your wheels until you get around an obstacle. Episode 4 again has a section with poison gas that you need to make sure you don’t stay under for too long or else you’ll pass out. Unfortunately, the game doesn’t really give you the option to stay out of it. Infact, the game even demands you walk SLOWLY in the shit unless you want to risk waking up 2 of the most powerful enemies in the whole game. Yes, Barry’s segment has lots of stealth segments (IE boredom incarnate) and you have to walk slowly… in poison gas. It’s obnoxious game design like this that makes me afraid of touching any game in the “adventure” category, but never expected to see that kind of shit in Resident Evil. It’s a wonder why this game is so tedious in the first place and makes the notion of a second playthrough laughable.
On the other hand, there’s Raid Mode. Since no one plays Resident Evil for survival Horror anymore, the Raid Mode in this game is actually pretty damn good. This time around, Player 2 isn’t some liability and can have fun blasting gooey zombie guts all over the world. And holy shit… you can actually UNLOCK things again! I would’ve sworn Capcom would’ve worked some of their asshole DLC schemes in here… but no… you’re allowed to work… for your unlockables! Tears of fucking Joy, I tell you! Raid Mode saved this game from hitting the Bomba bin shelves at Gamestop. The requirements for unlocking characters and costumes is steep, but man, is it ever awesome!? Raid Mode isn’t that different from the last game aside from actual coop, character abilities, and… well, some element of tedium was worked in here as well. In Rev 1, you had the option of equipping parts to a gun to boost it’s stats or give it special abilities. Rev 2… that doesn’t change. What did was the option to remove parts without a catch. See now, once you’ve equipped a part, you can’t just take it off. It’s STUCK! If you want to remove the part, you either have to destroy the part (permanently erasing it for 1000 bucks) or destroy the gun to get the part back (permanently erasing the gun for… 4000 bucks). I have no idea why they implemented such an asshole change to weapon upgrades if not just to make the game more tedious than need be, especially since now you have elemental bullet upgrades from RE3 making a comeback, this new upgrade system is a bitch to deal with.
Story is also a mixed bag. In this game, both Claire and Moira were kidnapped and sent to an Island where they’ve been injected with a virus that changes them if they get too scared…… right. Barry just goes to the island to see if his baby Moira is alright while having to baby sit Natalia. I’ll say one thing. Rev 2 is fucking disturbing. Enemies are creepier than ever before, you’re constantly in dark areas, you’ve invisible assholes, and baby dolls cover the interior of a cave…..creepy. On the other hand, the villain’s actual plot is kinda stupid. Since the game is pretty recent, I suppose I won’t spoil anything…. but she wants to put her brain in a prepubescent body. Like I said… creeeeeepy.
Overall, if you don’t mind tedious ass games and want Resident Evil to be scary again, you can’t go wrong with Rev 2. And it’s cheap, too! $40 ain’t shit! Just keep in mind that Episode 4 sucks and Raid Mode rules.
And with that, I return to my hiatus and my grief over MKX’s delay. Ohhhhhhh…. it hurts so much…Fuck all ya’ll PS4 owners 😐
Your legacy!
Hey there, long time no comment. About your comments on Guilty Gear, some of things in the game are explained in others. Though the thing about May being Japanese, it’s because they’re almost as rare as full blooded saiyans. Ky’s status, I thought it was from like some future game, I didn’t know he was a king now. At any rate it’s good to hear from you, looking forward to more later. See ya.
They announced new Boom, 3DS exclusive.
The trailer literally gave me headache. If you want to see something equally baffling, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I6ak3ebBep0
The fact that some people are commenting that it would be a good idea is a bit disturbing.
Hi Heru.
You don’t need to be coming back from your hiatus… ever.
Sonic is dead.
Again.
This time probably for real.
Boom 2 on the way, it’s said that all modern Sonic games will be Boom and the rest (party and sports games) will be “legacy” Sonic – as if the original Sonic was just a relic from the past.
Like you once said about Lost World – they will never listen to the fans, they will keep hammering it in until we just #@$! accept it. They will do the same with Boom. They will keep pushing Boom long enough for it to make a mark in history and to build it’s audience. No matter how small or stupid the audience will be, they will use it as a scape goat to keep shoveling more Boom shit down our throats. So Sonic will either transform into Boom completely,… or die.
Which is probably even worse than if he was bought by Nintendo… oh well…
Perhaps one good thing about Boom 2 though is the insane initial backlash. There’s a lot less damage controlling this time and everyone is pretty negative about it, which is good. From what I’ve heard, the trailer that Nintendo published originally got about 25,000 dislikes and only about 1,000 likes. As of now, the bar has been removed. Everyone is pretty much irritated and the new game will probably sell much fewer copies. I’m wondering what Sonic Team has in store for us, but based on the “Sega Anniversary” rather than “Sonic Anniversary” rumor, I’m a little worried. I’m really hoping that the rumor is false. It probably is, but seeing that Sonic Team has no problem with rehashing old content, I won’t completely dismiss it.
Even with the backlash, it looks like the developers, SEGA or anyone else involved in making more Sonic Boom even acknowledges it. They are still patting each other on their shoulders, they still talk about how amazing and innovative new direction it is, they are still trying to act as if they owned the entire franchise…
And they are talking about Boom movies!
How can Sonic Boom be a material for movies? 60 or more minutes of footage where nothing except stupid dialogs is happening and in the end all concepts that had even slightest bit of semblance to a plot will dissipate to nothingness?
Making an anniversary game that celebrates their history – again – that’s just bad idea. And because of that, we can be almost certain that it will happen. No matter if it’s anniversary Sonic game or SEGA game.
How much longer can they constantly keep celebrating before they realize there is nothing to celebrate? SEGA will never sleep off this massive hangover it got from years of constant celebration.
It’s sickening that many trailers for new Sonic games are always starting with images from Classic Sonic games as if they want to say: “And from the creators of Sonic 1, Sonic 2 and Sonic 3…”
I am sure that they don’t care about the feedback. They probably think that all Sonic fans are stupid and that they are holding them down. People at SEGA will do whatever they want no matter what Sonic fans will say. The last time they changed the tone of the entire series due to the feedback was post 2006. They never did it again since.
When did they say that modern Sonic games will be Boom?
Here:
http://www.usgamer.net/articles/whats-next-for-sonic-the-hedgehog-and-friends
They are a bit all over the place with the explanations for the future of Sonic franchise.
They say that their plan is to go with “classic/legacy” Sonic and “modern” Sonic, while adding, that Japan will be working only on the “legacy”.
Then later they say that they will have only two lines for Sonic: Boom and Classic.
No matter how the naming works, it seems that they are hinting that everything Sonic related will be Boom except for the rare occasions of nostalgia trips coming from Japan. And that either means that what used to be “modern” Sonic is now either in the “Classic” Sonic or “Boom” Sonic category. Neither of which sounds good.
Did they really announce a sequel?
Yep, well it’s another game in the Sonic Boom universe, as mentioned above. There still making more games I guess.
They did.
The article I linked above says:
“it sounds like Sega and Sanzaru have been listening to the feedback”
…
And now they announced that Pontac and Graff are writing the story again.
Let that sink in your mind.
I don’t wanna. I have a headache right now.
I was fine with on Sonic Colors ( I guess) but now, that’s just fantuckingfastic.
Sorry, I met to say, “I was fine with ‘them’ on Sonic Colors” i should probably proofread these before submitting them.
And now, they announced a sequel to main series Sonic Dash… And now it’s Sonic Boom game:
Sequel to a main Sonic game is Sonic Boom game. That’s as if Batman Brave and Bold was a sequel to Batman Arkham series. More kiddy series sponges on the success of the more appreciated series.
At this point, it doesn’t even matter what writer writes what Sonic game. Sonic Boom is gonna absorb main Sonic. It’s only a matter of moths, maybe years. But it will happen. And if official SEGA PRs say something different, they are simply lying. It wouldn’t be the first time they did. Nobody can officially call them on their lies because it would be rude and there are no definitive proofs yet. But once there will be proofs, it will be too late, because everybody not fine with will be gone by then. And neutral parties will either not remember the false statements or will not care.
Lying is a business.
Just read:
http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/07/the-sequel-to-sonic-dash-has-been-given-a-sonic-boom-makeover/
You have to be SHITTING me right now! Between this and MKX getting delayed up the ass, I might go insane by the end of the summer!
“Not a reboot” my ass! I… they can’t be serious! Is the show doing THAT damn well!? Where dem toys at, btw?! I still ain’t seen a damn thing in stock!
Brings tears to ya eyes, man! I’m about to flood this house!
I can’t believe I want that “Sonic Movie” shit to be real now.
We’ve got at least some good news. (http://www.siliconera.com/2015/07/07/sega-learned-about-making-quality-games-from-atlus-aim-to-regain-trust-from-players/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+siliconera%2FMkOc+%28Siliconera%29)
As of now, it’s just PR though.
Nah, that’s definitely PR. Having played Yakuza Dead Souls, it’s clear as day that they can make a good game when they want to.
Sega is very well capable. What they lack is the fucks to give. I’ll be surprised if Atlus is still making good games for the years to come.
Not to change the subject, but do you have any thoughts on Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire. I know it’s a little late, but I knew you were a fan of the series, so I wanted to know if you had anything to say about it.
Originally, I wasn’t much of a fan of Ruby and Sapphire… infact, I hated those games. Stupidly enough, I bought OR knowing I hated the originals and maybe hoping these remakes were better. I’m gonna be honest, I lost interest before hitting the 3rd gym. I didn’t even finish the game. It feels improved… if that makes any sense. But hey, you apparently have to finish games before having any opinion whatsoever, so don’t take my word for it. I’m probably just getting tired of Pokemon at this point. Besides, removing the whole “customizing trainers” option was a low blow.
If, I’m being honest, I didn’t like the post story stuff in hindsight. I was never a big fan of Hoen, but I was looking forward to the Battle Frontier from Emerald, that didn’t appear in game. Not to mention Steven the aChampion, seemed too buddy buddy, while in original he was more “here I am and there I go” That and the Latios/as event. Overall reviewers said that all the good parts and bad parts were updated. I.E the same game with a 3D update not to mention updated music. The redesigns, I wasn’t feeling them either, May looked okay, but the guy seemed kind of weak when compared to his original design. That and the weird romance they were trying to inject into it. It felt like they wern’t sure whether they wanted to admit it was there or not, and it just came off as kind of unnecessary and annoying if they wern’t going to develop it or commit. Not to mention Zeena (post story) was kind of sappy with reasoning about saving their world because it might destroy another world. Which makes sense, but she was sort of stupid about it. Though the lord of Hoen is well done, in terms of it being “another dimension” which should please classic fans. Overall, I enjoyed the playthrough, but some of the story elements were kind of stupid. Also contests were better, if only for plot and special effects, though it does have idol stuff, so that might be a turn off. Anyway it’s better than X and Y for adventure, and that’s about it. (I’m typing this on my phone by the way.)

it might catch your interest.
Saw it. Actually kinda pissed about it. 😛
This’ll be the last thing I post,
That’s enough out of me for awhile.
Sorry, I said before I was done but this, so sort hilarious, http://gematsu.com/2015/09/dead-alive-xtreme-3-mid-way-character-election-results-announced
I’m done, farewell.
What is actual difficulty to use internet for you? I used GPRS since Dec 2006, was writing on forums etc., it was like 27 cent per megabyte. And I was doing it from Siemens ME75 with 132*176 color screen. Hell, I wrote half a story on that phone once, it had a size of 36 sms.
I still don’t have a PC of my own or router. I’m kinda broke atm.
Shocking news. Apparently someone in my fam felt sorry for me and let me have one of his computers. So… one step towards coming back at least.
Internet? We’ll see. Maybe I’ll leach off Starbucks.
Hello, it’s been awhile, I just wanted to share this:
http://gematsu.com/2015/10/genei-ibun-roku-fe-three-new-trailers it seems to be a rare kind of crossover indeed.
Forgive me I couldn’t resist, http://mynintendonews.com/2015/10/14/nintendo-explains-how-they-go-about-making-fun-and-unique-titles/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter it’s an article about how Nintendo makes fun and unique titles. Sorry for your situation.
Cookie Charly stole my comment. 😛
And don’t be. It’s a common problem in America right.
Is there any possibility of you setting up a Patreon to fix the “broke atm” problem you currently have? I’d like to hear more from you- you’re one of my favorite game bloggers, to the point where I wouldn’t mind (in fact I would actually LIKE) it if you criticized something I LIKED (such as Umihara Kawase). You have one of the most consistent, articulate, and distinguished voices in the blogoshpere, and I’d like to see your messages get out more.
Hey, how’s it going? I happened to encounter this one like the last one. http://mynintendonews.com/2015/10/23/nintendo-wants-to-put-a-twist-on-the-open-world-element-of-zelda-wii-u/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter It’s a piece about the Legend of Zelda Wii U, and it’s direction. I thought it would be an interesting read if nothing else. This too, http://mynintendonews.com/2015/10/20/japan-pokken-tournament-being-pulled-from-arcades-due-to-unpopularity/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Well like always, it’s been fun. Take care.
Hello again, I thought I leave this, http://mynintendonews.com/2015/10/23/nintendo-wants-to-put-a-twist-on-the-open-world-element-of-zelda-wii-u/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter some info on the Zelda Wii U, from a creator outlook, and this http://mynintendonews.com/2015/10/20/japan-pokken-tournament-being-pulled-from-arcades-due-to-unpopularity/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter as always take care.
Sorry I ended up sending the same thing twice, my computer didn’t register the first time.
This’ll be my last for the moment, http://www.gamespot.com/articles/the-story-behind-triforce-heroes-an-interview-with/1100-6431697/ Happy Halloween.
Hello, it’s been awhile,I just wanted to drop this off, http://gematsu.com/2015/11/super-smash-bros-adds-cloud-strife-final-fantasy-vii if you hadn’t already heard anyway. Also this, http://gematsu.com/2015/11/hyrule-warriors-legends-launches-march-25 If it wasn’t for how much effort they’ve spent making Link more effeminate in recent years, this new character would be more surprising. At any rate take care.
Hello again I though I bring this to your attention if you didn’t know, http://gematsu.com/2015/11/super-smash-bros-adds-cloud-strife-final-fantasy-vii as well as this, http://gematsu.com/2015/11/hyrule-warriors-legends-launches-march-25 if they hadn’t spent so much time making Link so effeminate over the years, this would have been more surprising. As always, take care.
Once again, a double post sorry about that.
It’s okay. Really. I haven’t even been around often to clear up the comments sections. 😛
Hello again, I just wanted to bring this to your attention if you didn’t know, http://gematsu.com/2015/11/super-smash-bros-adds-cloud-strife-final-fantasy-vii as well as this, http://gematsu.com/2015/11/hyrule-warriors-legends-launches-march-25 admittedly if they hadn’t spent so much time making Link more and more effeminate over the years this would be more of a surprise (and more interesting). As always take care.
Oops!
Hey, there, how’s it going? Hope Thanksgiving was touching, the final of Smash came out, it’s really something, http://gematsu.com/2015/12/super-smash-bros-final-video-presentation-live-stream this video doesn’t really start until halfway in, but it’s rather descriptive from a producer standpoint. This is one is shorter, http://gematsu.com/2015/12/super-smash-bros-adds-fire-emblem-fates-avatar-bayonetta-cloud-available-today but I think it still has some of the same developer information, well it’s a summary. Also, there’s this too, http://gematsu.com/2015/12/sony-kojima-productions-enter-agreement-new-ps4-console-exclusive-title I suppose this is about the future of gaming if only concerning Sony. As always take care, and Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays and Happy New Year, if I don’t have any replies. See Ya!
When are you coming back? There’s quite a few things to talk about now, like Action Henk.
ATM, I can talk on the job (free wifi) so if anything, you can ask away.
First and most obvious, Undertale. What do you think about it?
Second, thoughts on FNAF?
Third, Sean Malstrom apparently hates 3D Sonic. Do you still like him?
Fourth, the Coleco Chameleon.
And fifth, what are your thoughts on the TrueSonicSpirit movement?
Finally figured out what FNAF is.
Paranoia inducing, and scarier than the last 3 Resident Evils, but that’s about it.
I played a bit of Half-Life 2, it was that sweet spot when color saturation (and design) is already crap and graphics is still crap. Some coasts literally look like SADX. Gameplay is like, good, except when you run out of throwable objects.
And about Doom 3, it was significantly better without horrific russian voiceover. I played may be a half of a game.
When’s your next post? I would really like to see more real blog posts from you and not just comments or twitter.
Happy New Year! How’s it going? Apparently the reason for PSO2 not being released in the west has been given http://www.tssznews.com/2015/12/31/source-sega-japan-business-agreement-preventing-pso2-western-release/
Hope you have a great day.
God I need Internet. It’s been a fucking year in a half!!!
How’s it going? There ‘s some commotion about the latest Sonic game(s) coming out this year, no one knows if it’s true, or not. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JElwonxT8aY
Take care.
….. I don’t even know what to make of this…
I mean, I always figured China was a shithole, but didn’t they have a ban on video games? Why would a foreign company exercise this much control over whether or a JAPANESE company gets to import their own shit!?
Heh it’s crazy right? I guess law about overseas business can be complicated.
Well, I guess (if this is true, cause it sounds like bullshit) it means Sega isn’t that blatantly racist, but incredibly idiotic. That or… IDK, I’m just pissed now. I’m gonna start sounding like my government talking about how evil China is.
Anywho, thanks for the info.
Hello, there I just thought I drop by leave this behind.

As always take care.
Oh yeah, here are some articles about the Sega and the next Sonic game. Apparently they’re being very cryptic with details, it’s like there making a game out of it. http://www.tssznews.com/2016/01/20/aaron-webber-theres-still-some-time-before-anything-will-be-revealed/ http://www.tssznews.com/2016/01/26/aaron-webber-slowly-the-picture-comes-together/
Not to mention, Sonic Boom Fire and Ice (the sequel)
Oh there’s hints for a movie too, http://www.tssznews.com/2016/02/19/more-sonic-movie-origins-uncovered/
As always take care.
Hello there, it’s been awhile. There’s been some news on the latest Sonic, as cryptic as ever, http://gematsu.com/2016/03/sonic-hedgehog-25th-anniversary-party-set-july-22 Though what they do reveal could be good.
As always, take care!
I’m literally fucking sick of Crush 40.
And if this “supah seekwet gaem anooncement” is some boom bullshit, they might as well cancel it. Didn’t the 1st 2 Booms go bust at the same time? And they went on the defensive to transform their most successful Sonic game (Dash) just to Justify Boom’s mere existence!?
The clinically insane shouldn’t be allowed to make games!!
Sorry for the Delay. The only thing I can really answer is the Malstrom bit as Ive not heard of everything else you’re asking.
And no, I can barely stomach his articles anymore. Not because he hates 3D Sonic (that much would have been obvious if his previous rants weren’t a dead givaway) but primarily because, many if his current topics don’t interest me. Plus his “views” on the real world and writing style are starting to irk me. He just comes off as obnoxiously arrogant.
Of course, I felt that way before (his bit about “the west ruling the world through good business” made my blood boil. If he thinks ethnic genocide, pillaging, and rape is good business, he’s got bigger issues than his views on women) but I can tolerate but so much.
I think people know enough about Nintendo and Sega sucking more ass than ever before, so topics about them become less interesting. Tis why I don’t pay attention to Sonic anymore. It’s hard to care about a franchise when the company in charge doesn’t.
Though I admit, his tirades on Cloud being in Smash 4 were hilarious. But for the most part, I don’t read Malstrom anymore. Or I try to filter out the shitty ones.
Though I am curious about this “truesonicspirit” gig…
That was to Miru.
Let me put it to you this way: until you get your internet back and start posting again, Malstrom isn’t perfect, but right now, he is all we have for popular “voice of the expanded market” gamers. I’ve always found you more interesting and would like to see you compete (and in some cases, beat) him. Some of the things he types tend to annoy me as well.
Also a recent gaming event, Star Fox Zero will have an Invincible mode that makes it impossible to take damage (and therefore lose). What do you think of it? Personally, I think it’s hypocritical for anyone in favor of cheats/savestates/hacking/turbo controllers to be against it.
That’s true too. I’m just like… Nintendo’s dumb shit writes itself nowadays and the only people in need of being convinced are the same drones that swear Captain Toad is the shit.
As for Starfox having an invincible MODE… I’m only confused at the implementation. Maybe a cheat code like in the old days, make it feel like you actually have to seek it out rather than make an entire mode out of it. I’m not miffed eitherway since it’s still an option and not like Epic Yarn where you can’t die, just… you know, why a “mode” specifically? I hope Nintendo isn’t doing the REmake thing and making a bunch of pointless handicapped modes to call that replay value.
