What a terrible thing, holding on to an opinion.

No, seriously. Dude likes Melee better, and as far as I'm aware Smash 4 doesn't really play like Melee. That doesn't mean he hates the game, he's just nitpicky about it - which is to be expected if you invested a lot of time in a franchise.


The best Fisticuffs are the ones where the Zaibatsu is mostly competent at the game being played. The Smash series was like that, and so was 3S.

There's nitpicky and then there's "This clearly presented as inferior version of a game that is still a 9.something has shaken my faith in Sakurai-san" Thats where I hit the "...yeah we get it" point on him and Smash.

Also very much agree with the second part. I love it when they play dumb poo poo too but watching them play 3S, Garou and the Smashes were a lot of fun.

"No but I'm not hating on it it's amazing, it's fantastic, it's great, but I'm just going to stop playing it next week because it isn't Melee. BUT IT'S LIKE A 9.9 ON 10 I SWEAR BUT IT'S SO SOULLESS BUT IT'S GREAT BUT-"

I couldn't deal with Liam talking in circles every time the game came up.

Well and this. Heh.

Oh, Liam has a flair for the dramatic. Smash 3DS feels a bit pared down from what I've seen of it tho, so he might like the Wii U version better.

Plus, they did give the most idiotic reason ever for not having a story mode.

It's not like Liam is the only "tsunder" on the subject. Reminder that there's a 70 episode series on Pat making GBS threads on a game that he would give GOTY to if Bayo 2 didn't come out.

I hate to say it but that game looks super uninteresting and boring, I think the creators are trying too hard to recreate the ngpc look and feel but in reality that had not aged well at all, it's too simple and too primitive to make a compelling fighting game and no amount of nostalgia can cover that up. They really are shooting themselves in the foot by forcing the really crappy NGPC hardware limit on themselves, especially for a fighting game.

If they can keep the aesthetic but up the performance slightly so it can accommidate a little exta flash and a full fighting system then they might have a compelling case for this game.

I'm fine with Pocket Fighter personally, it's just some of the animations are super jank and wondering if it's a good idea to borrow that style as closely as they are.

Animation wise the dude with the horns had a attack where he leaps upwards and horns grow out to hit and he just kinda floats off the ground while they appears and it looks super messy. Then the other character had one where she punched the ground and a explosion came up but the explosion has way more detail then she does and it's kinda jarring.

Benefit of the doubt due to it being a Alpha but would like to see some of that stuff changed before I support it 100%. Eager to see that mystery fighter at the least. I know I lost it when I ran into him in Shovel Knight back on release :v:

Edit: Also they aren't even trying to hide stuff with Subject 11 on the kickstarter page. Jeez.

Watching the Woolie vs. Japan finale, I suddenly came to the startling realization that I hadn't noticed the fact that Woolie curses a ton until now.

All those Japanese people in the background must have been constantly wondering why the scary foreigner is loudly cursing all the time.

Hopefully never.

Far Cry however looked real good and I'm now considering tracking it down despite hating most FPS games.

Edit: Also man the Fall looks fantastic. Only problem I have with it is the way the suit holds a weapon/light really bugs me. There are some seriously cool animations but the suits arms just spinning around is so distracting.

The crazier thing about the Incendiary Bolts being pre-order is that those are literally the only ranged fire weapon you can get until you fully upgrade the Harpoon Bolts. At Level 5, they get fire added to them, which basically makes them a more cost-effective choice if you have access to both.

The Level 5 upgrade costs 50,000 green gel.

There's absolutely no way you'd ever gain access to it in time for it to be useful against Laura unless you got super, super lucky with getting gel out of the save room lockers, and I think the position of the stuff in the lockers is random purely so you can't scum it like that.

Is Pat still just tapping RT to fire the Agony Crossbow or has he learned to hold it down?

Pat will still be tapping RT to fire bolts for the next part, but the part after THAT, I reminded him the crossbow can be charged.

I don't know what is it about the DLC that makes people not care about souls anymore. It's infuriating (I know that's a nitpick), especially when some play it on NG+.

Not gonna happen, this is Patrick "The raw crossbow is clearly the best ranged weapon for 40 STR/30 DEX" Lavabeard. Though to be fair, he kinda doesn't need to care, the only thing they might do is save a little off camera time farming a few souls for consumables.

Woolie really should go back to the shield, since that AoE slash would solve like 90% of his combat woes.

The problem is people screamed "TWO HAND, GET GOOD" instead of "Learn the advantages of the two handed moveset, and switch between them as the encounter dictates", so Woolie is solving as many issues as he is creating. Though it is having results, so I can't rightly complain.
