Harrow posted:Pokemon is always weird for me, even though I really want to love it. The main stories are always far, far too easy to really hold my interest, but then if you wan to get into the multiplayer, you need to do EV training and breed for good IVs and abilities and uggggghhhh. Actually, on this subject: does anyone have tips for enjoying Pokemon more for a weirdo like me? Alternatively, are things like hyper training going to make it easier to get into the online battle side of things?

I always forget Ness and Lucas from Mothers 2 and 3 are supposed to be 13. They really look more like 10. No wonder the US release of Earthbound had a different clay model for Ness.

Steep is fun as hell btw, I played it with some friends last night and we had a lot of fun bowling each other over with snowboards and desperately trying to do tricks on our skis. I absolutely would not buy this game for 60 dollars, which is what they want you to buy it for, but I certainly will when it goes on sale for real cheap.

Just chiming in to say that ME3 is my favourite of the trilogy followed by ME1. I do not like ME2. I know this opinion is an outlier but 2 changed so much of what I enjoyed.

Your avatar is getting me to question where the syllable break in "video" is supposed to be. Is it "Vid - e - o" or could it be "Vi - de - o" as Atari suggests it is. Hmmmm.

I think you may indeed be the only person in the world who feels this way, which is cool. ME3 is such a clear gameplay iteration on ME2 while ME1 is the odd man out, so having ME1 split the two in half is odd, and the only other people I've ever met who do so rank ME3 as their least favorite almost entirely out of spite because they hated how the story ends. I'd love for you to elaborate if you feel like it. Outlier opinions can be fascinating.

I liked all the ME games in general up to the ending of 3 but the seems we're showing way before it got o that point. And janky as it was I did enjoy that the first game was still an RPG rather that the TPS with a couple of things you could put points in to the later games became.

ME3's gameplay is so much better than the other two it's not even funny, but the first is so hilariously over the top epic that I can't help liking it even though the gameplay is garbage.

Absolutely! I think I may have mentioned it in an earlier month of the chat thread or even the ME3 thread but good grief that was probably so long ago. I loved ME1 because it was my first game I played as a cool space explorer. I adored driving the Mako around the various worlds and just getting out and admiring views. That coupled with the space map, the gorgeous music and that each character was really cool and developed made it feel like the beginning of a true space epic. I loved everything about the 1st game and I still do. ME2 felt like it wanted to act as though ME1 didn't exist. It got rid of so many things I loved, populated the cast with three times the size and seemed to be just some weird action cover shooter. I don't enjoy the combat that much and it seemed to be focued on that. Little things like finding ammo, and small inventories/no management, and the story being so disconnected and weird from the first. I felt like it lost so much of what I was playing for. Then along came ME3. I didn't get round to playing it until after Citadel DLC was released. I missed the whole DLC/ending issue and also managed to not spoil any of it. I also played it with all the DLC and played Citadel after finishing the main quest, treating it like an epilogue because my shepherd survived the end of ME3. I love it for a very simple reason that even if the original ending is not what people expected, it fit perfectly in my mind by how I was expecting the games to go. I truly enjoyed wrapping up each characters arcs. The mission with Wrex/Mordin and the Thresher was beautiful. Garrus and sniping in the Citadel was stunning. Helping Liara find a parent, seeing Ashley become a better person was all the kind of stuff I dug. Then capping it off with the Citadel DLC as a nice light ending to such a heavy game was perfect. I'd always believed (from day one and getting Saren to shoot himself) that Shepherd was being indoctrinated. That's why the ending felt good to me. As though the reapers were attempting to break my Shepherds mind with Control and Synthesis. My shepherd would never have done either of those, she would have destroyed them after realising that she too was being indoctrinated. I felt satisfied with it entirely because of the plots and story. It's definitely the outlier because everyone dislikes the ME3 story, but for me it was a wonderful cap to the whole overarching plotline and felt more connected to the first story than the second. (What was the point of that giant reaper baby?)

ME1 was already a weird action shooter, it was just garbage at it. ME2 is the only game that I feel accomplishes what it sets out to do. I definitely respect what ME1 tried to do, and I appreciate the preference for a more Star Trek aesthetic. But I don't think that ME1 actually accomplishes it at all. It tries to do a lot if things, and does none of them well. It ends up being really disjointed. ME2 is the only one where I feel like the gameplay and story fit together well in an engaging manner.

I mean, its definitely just a matter of personal taste/preference between the three of them. ME3 is the one I couldn't finish because, compared to 2, the gameplay, missions, and main story felt so disconnected that I just couldn't get into it. Each game offers something slightly different, and ME2 is just the one that clicked with me the most and felt the most coherent to me.

tap my mountain posted:Do you remember the first robot master you defeated? Mine was either Woodman or Chargeman. I can't honestly remember because I played those games all out of order as a kid. I'm still in the middle of Pokemon, but I'm picking up Dragon Ball Fusions today, as well, because it looks like it's gonna be ludicrously fun for me, the guy who has been super pumped about DBZ for 20 years. I'll probably juggle them a little, but the plan is to get to the end of the main story in Pokemon, go on a little DBZ vacation, and then start Pokemon eugenics programs for a few of my favorites.

Adults fondly remembering Skylanders will be the same as those that nowadays remember their Street Sharks toy collection. Nobody will care even people who owned them. Sure that there will be people going 'oh yeah I remember that' but no bonding group chit-chats comparing your first Skylanders or whatever.

FirstAidKite posted:There will definitely be adults going "I remember playing that as a kid" just like there are adults now going "I remember the first pokemon I caught" and stuff There's a contextual difference, though. I remember playing Final Fantasy when I was a kid. I remember playing Pokemon when I was a kid. I still play Pokemon on day 1 every time it comes out, and I haven't given a poo poo about Final Fantasy since FF9. I think I got like 1/3 through FF13 three years ago and then got distracted by a shiny object, never to return again.

If you are 8 and you have a plastic toy that comes to life on the tv and you control it and it levels up and you can take it to a friend's house and it keeps all your moves or whatever, that's loving magic. I guess a better comparison would be action figures where kids use the power of imagination for all the graphics, but if you think people haven't had casual conversations about which G.I. Joe's or TMNT figures they played with, you're wrong. Not every one talks about figures, but toys in general or early instances of a lifelong hobby aren't uncommon conversation topics. There will be computer science undergrads who sit in a dorm and talk about the Skylanders they had growing up, and it's probably already begun.

We'll just have to wait and see. I just mean with toys to life stuff in general, I imagine it'll at least be like what palpek said with people going "man, remember disney infinity? I could make perry the platypus wield a lightsaber and that was pretty cool. so anyway"

There are some out there that I've seen of people dancing around higher-level monsters and winning without getting hit, mostly involving abusing teleportation like crazy.
