CharlieFoxtrot posted:Oh, NBA Playgrounds comes out May 9. I'm hoping it has some of the Jam magic and is not just a cheap cash-in It kinda looks like something that should've come out a generation or two ago, but that wouldn't matter if the gameplay resembles NBA Jam / Street. Have there been any basketball games that rely on skill-based movements to do monster jams? Like a fighting game but basketball is what I'm trying to say. Because if not somebody should do that.

Lakbay posted:Does everyone focus on one game at a time, juggle a bunch of games at once, or buy games but just go back to dota 2/overwatch/rocket league/etc Usually one game, maybe two if there's something really good out that I want to play right away, which is why I have a backlog of games currently extending to things I bought on sale literal years ago and probably sell for the sales prices by default now. I played a little bit of Dragon Quest 6 last night, so I guess that's going to be my next game now.

The Colonel posted:playing condemned and fear is making me miss no one lives forever. i kind of think both the nolf games play like complete rear end, but i really appreciate that the writing in them was actually really fun and goofy in a way that made me ok with just listening to guard chatter, while playing fear just makes me wonder when the big scripted scenes will end so i can get back to flying kicking super soldiers, and the ending of condemned was just really loving stupid and lame. I haven't played either of the NOLF games in like 15 years but NOLF1 had some of the most fun multiplayer I've ever played.

Wasn't the story with Yoshis originally that they were "trapped inside the eggs" by Bowser?  Has that been swept out of the lore along with "Bowser turned the people of the Mushroom Kingdom into bricks and pipes"? Not that that explains baby Yoshis either way. corn in the bible posted:Yoshi and his boyfriend Birdo are a loving couple who enjoy golf, tennis, soccer, and parties Why are you misgendering Birdo

GLAAD trash bags posted:What about toad's mushroom head, is it a hat or part of his body? I would say it's part of his head since Toadette's head has little mushroom cap pigtails, and, y'know, they're mushroom people, but I guess it depends on if you accept the Super Mario Bros Super Show as canon.  I don't think you should. It looks... wrong.

Harrow posted:Bioshock Infinite's story is bad and I'm glad that's an opinion I can express now without everyone talking about how brilliant it is and I must have just not understood it. Infinite's story I felt was somewhat defensible when it first came out, but then they did Burial At Sea which confirmed everyone's criticisms on top of being way worse than the base game.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:There has been a lot of retconning in the Mario lore, I learned in the past week that the Koopalings (Iggy, Wendy, etc.) are no longer considered Bowser's legitimate children because of the existence of Bowser Jr. I just interpret that as Bowser being such an evil prick that was so angry at his kids' failure to kill Mario that he disowned them. Cowcaster posted:it was just the other day i realized that one of the koopa kids being named "morton koopa jr." implied that bowser's first name is morton Ah, but James Bond is James Bond Jr.'s uncle. You can draw the same conclusions as to what that implies happened between James Bond and his brother's wife, with Bowser and whatever unseen siblings he has. raditts fucked around with this message at 19:35 on May 3, 2017 |

TF2 HAT MINING RIG posted:I liked the Crystal Chronicles ds game even if it was flawed, I would like a sequel but not a dull singleplayer thing and hopefully better than the Final Fantasy monster hunter ripoff on 3ds. The Crystal Chronicles DS game did have a sequel, with online multiplayer even. It was the one that had that hilariously clunky Wii version that was the same as the DS version but you had to push a button to swap between the top and bottom screens. IIRC it did have crossplay though which was pretty cool.

CharlieFoxtrot posted:Cajun Fries at Five Guys have some of the best seasoning you can get on a fast food french fry. The burgers were worth it like 10 years ago when they still only a DMV area chain and the burgs were $3 cheaper. Not so much anymore. The best burgers near me are at a small local diner where I can get a burg, fries, pickle, and soup for cheaper than a FG greaseball. The fries though... you order a large and they just put a cup inside a paper bag and then fill the goddamn bag with fries. Not even sure why they bother with the cup. They take second place next to Boardwalk Fries for me. raditts fucked around with this message at 07:26 on May 6, 2017 |

ImpAtom posted:The most successful movies in the world these days are fanfiction unless you're somehow going to pretend like different writers/artists creating their own interpretation of characters wildly different from the originals isn't fanfiction because a major company purchased the IP and said they could. pretty sure you can draw the line of "fan fiction" at "officially sanctioned canon" but what do I know

Andrast posted:When the official thing can just be some company that bought the rights to the IP without any other relation to the original author(s), I don't really see the difference Doctor Spaceman cites some pretty good examples, but then, under that definition, isn't any popular series/franchise that is more than a few years old and not completely written by the original authors going to be more "fanfiction" than not? I mean, that would mean that like 75% of James Bond and almost every popular long running comic book series is fan fiction. Many of them were likely literally taken over by people who were fans of previous iterations, but if you don't draw a line at canon then the definition becomes absurdly unwieldy.

Spoderman posted:After Don Quixote was written, a fanfic sequel came out and Cervantes caught wind of it. He then wrote a real sequel where a major plot involves Don Quixote going around saying "yeah, that wasn't me, there's some impostor going around. Also, he's way less funny and nuanced than I am." And then Don Quixote dies at the end and the author explicitly says it's so that nobody can make any more bad fanfic. I assume the difference then is having the original / current author's blessing given to the next person to take over writing duties. Like, if they finish the Game Of Thrones TV series and GRRM dies before he finishes the books, is the tv series fan fiction or nah

I never knew the Euro boxart for Megaman 1 was different. It's bad, but man, it's nowhere near US Boxart Megaman bad. This all just reminds me of how hard Capcom hosed up by cancelling Megaman Universe. They could've had their own Mario Maker years before Mario Maker was a thing, but of course Capcom gon' Capcom.

MMF Freeway posted:10 is low on the list for me but I liked it when it came out. Its one of the least fun games in the series to replay It was pretty unfun for me the first time around, I looked up a faq for those sphere temple puzzles not because they were difficult, but because they were so mind-numbingly loving boring and I wanted to get through them as quickly as possible. Still not as bad as 2 or 3 though.

I bought that game because it was a fighting game with FF characters but played the hell out of the weird tower dungeon crawl mode that I didn't expect to be there. If you liked the dungeon crawl mode in Ehrgeiz, you'd love the ones in Tobal No. 1 and Tobal 2, since Ehrgeiz was a shittier version of those games reskinned with Final Fantasy characters.
