Here's a rarity, my mom had an appointment today, I had to come to help her with her phone, so I ended up sitting in a waiting area playing my Switch today. Haven't brought the system out somewhere in a very long time, always played at home. Enjoyed some Kirby's Dreamland 2 and Nickelodeon Kart Racers 3.
@Sunsy yeah superheros have completely taken over which is good for a satire on them
Don’t get me wrong I am no fan of something like boss baby but my philosophy has always been insult the work not the fans. If someone likes something they like it and thats final. A piece of media can be criticized without you being a d##k to the people who legitimately enjoy it. For instance my well stated opinions on Pokémon at the end of the day are my opinions If you like the games that’s final I’m allowed to criticize it and people are allowed to love it. The issues arrive when idiots try to force thier views about it on someone else and get mad at them for thier personal enjoyment. And because say Pokémon is successful it dosen’t make other Nintendo franchises less successful so why harass fans about it?
I am really hoping that megamind the show is good thats all I want a good continuation of megamind with a reason to exist
Yeah, though I do feel insulting something could trigger arguments, so I usually will say "it's not my thing" or "I don't like it." I do agree, it's better to dislike something rather than go after fans for enjoying it. More people should follow that.
Will admit, I'm surprised how many in the cartoon community, whether it be on social media or YouTube, hate Trolls. The saltiest argument about the third movie is "nobody asked for this," because knowing other Trolls fans, all of them asked for a third movie. From what I've seen Trolls fans are pretty dedicated, and some of the artwork they do is beautiful (even cooler, DreamWorks shows off this art on the official Trolls social media accounts).
Though I have a feeling some will be like "how did DreamWorks go from Puss In Boots to this" with Trolls Band Together. Really, not every movie is going to appeal to everyone. Trolls Band Together is going to appeal to obviously kids, but also existing Trolls fans, and that's ok. There's lots of animated movies out there to enjoy. Ruby Gillman, Spider-Verse, Elemental to name a few. I wish more in the animation community understood this. Trolls fans are animation fans too. It saddens me to see how hated it is in some circles.
I could go on and on about the series and its lore. "Singing killed my grandma" may be a meme, but thanks to the cartoons, it goes in more about Branch's and his grandma to the point of it being tearjerking and really heartfelt.
Sorry if I'm sounding a bit ranty, but I do feel the series gets over-hated and overlooked just because of its target audience of kids.
I hope so too. If DreamWorks puts the care into making a MegaMind show, I think it could be great.
Hmm I don't remember the PC version's manual. I guess I didn't read it, or it didn't come with one? My PC copy of Sonic CD came with Sonic & Knuckles Collection and Sonic R way back in the day.
Gotcha, sounds like a good plan to preorder stuff. I like your joke name for the Mario movie, lol. That reminds me, have you ever played Super Princess Peach for the DS? I still have it, but I don't think I played much of it... I wanna revisit it one of these days. Oh that's awesome to hear about the Sonic movies. Those should be a fun watch for sure, I remember liking Sonic OVA way back when.
All right awesome. Yep I do like animated movies quite a lot, especially Disney films! I'll be sure to let you know what I think after I watch the Trolls movies. That's cool, we used to have A Goofy Movie on VHS many years ago, though it's been lost for so long, unfortunately. We also had An Extremely Goofy Movie, I think we still have that on VHS somewhere. That'd be cool to give it a rewatch. Oh and I think I saw that you had a Trolls-themed cake for your birthday from one of your posts? That sounds awesome.
The manual was actually a PDF on the disc IIRC. I remember finding it while browsing the CD.
Thanks! I got to admit, for me, Peach stole the show with how cool she was in the movie. Yes I have, I haven't beaten it, but I definitely have a copy of the game. It's the game where Peach uses emotions. I still have my VHS tape of the Sonic OVA, I refuse to get rid of it due to how rare it is now.
Enjoy the Trolls movies if you ever watch them. Cool, I don't think I ever seen the Extremely Goofy Movie, only the first one where Max wanted to go to a concert, but Goofy wanted to go camping IIRC. I haven't seen it in over a decade, yet I think I still remember it. I did have a Trolls cake, was a nice cake, had a Trolls picture on top, and decorated with Trolls decorations on the side.
I went to see the Mario movie last night; needless to say I enjoyed it! It was pretty decent, not Movie of the Year or anything like that, but it was perfectly enjoyable. I would certainly watch it again. The movie was so stuffed with references that I'm sure I missed a few. So many great moments, even if the plot overall was predictable, and a couple of moments didn't hit quite right with me. @Sunsy I did happen to catch both credit scenes, though I just now read your friendly PSA lol.
Glad to hear you enjoyed the movie and caught both scenes. I wanted to make sure of it, I had one friend leave early missing the second scene.
However the friend I went with and I we both went nuts after seeing the Yoshi egg! It was so cool to see, despite the one scene with the Yoshis running shown during the movie.
The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!
I prefer 2D platformer by 3rd party developers than 2D Mario games for having unique features.
Let's say Giana Sisters, MAX The Curse of Brotherhood, Paw Patrol, Dora the Explorer games, Go Diego Go games, etc.
I hope yoshi never Comes for me. I did kill him a lot in Mario World. The stench of dead yoshis is horrible. You'll all protect me. I have visions of him watching me sleep.
@Eagly Yeah, I thought that was the joke was but surely if Rex is there too it doesn't count. (Plus, I'm kind of scared to say yuri again because my brother might call me an idiot and stuff, hence why I didn't take a guess.) Personally, I feel there's no way they don't elaborate on the catgirl in the room, I'm more dubious of Sena, though, because of the fact there seem to be tons of NPCs with the same features as her.
Glad to hear you won whatever it was.

@Snatcher I absolutely love galaxy and definitely bought 3D all stars out of Fomo. I knew Nintendo’s game and still played right into Miyamoto’s hands. It was just too appealing a handheld version of what might be my favorite video game of all time with a higher framerate resolution and more importantly the dumping of the motion controllers I never stood a chance and I 100% completed it both mario and Luigi mode. I also heavily doubt I have to say this but I would have been beyond happy if 2 had been in the bundle and I can’t fathom why it and the 3Ds 3D game were not in the bundle. My only hope is they are planning on selling galaxy 2 to us back separately because I would definitely swallow any pride I pretend to have and buy it. But Nintendo definitely feels like it suck’s sometimes they won’t let you buy thier old games but they also won’t let fans do it themselves. I would be all in on playing galaxy 2 and learning why games like mother 3, chibi robo, doshin the giant, golden sun and so many more are as beloved as they are
To do my favorite thing complain about open world games I definitely hate it when a game sends you on an errand that has no point other than making the how long to beat score longer. It isn’t good game design it’s tedium even open world games I enjoy like modor waste my time by making you quest with uninteresting characters and accomplsh nothing while waiting for some character to something important to obligatorily add more time when all you wanna do is hang with your bro ratbag. Other than the stupid field skills which of Xenoblade 3 never come back and I am 99% sure never will the game doesn’t waste your time every chapter with a bunch of fetch quests disguised as story quest all of them at the very least are tied to the plot or offer insight into a character.
I am marking this as a spoiler because I know nothing of this characters significance to xenogears overall story but even in the franchises beginning when it was a repurposed scraped idea for final fantasy 7 it had fanscervice in fact I found other offical artwork for the game on the wiki I would probably get in trouble for posting on the site that goes far beyond xenoblade 2’s most inappropriate moments
Xenoblade 1 is not clean there is a lot of fanscervice in it but the biggest fanscervice characters are kind of spoilely so I am showing someone I am completely confident will not spoil plot points in any way even then 1 is fanscervicy all the femle (and male) party members get swimsuits honestly I think some of the optional costumes in 1 are more revealing than 2’s
I mean klaus knew what he was doing most blades are either cute or attractive either way something that would cause evolving species to take interest in them and it ain’t just people either take finch they were probably made specifically for tirkin
I was happy about byleth getting in because I am a huge fire emblem three houses fan. I of course understand people being disappointed their character didn’t get in I would have loved for Kratos, kiryu (yakuza) or the knight to get in. But I just remember for characters I don’t care for it was put in for some group and they are very happy. It also helps I am not invested in smash outside of casually playing with friends/families I am not the person who plays it aggressively online
Could you link the article to me. In the dlc it gives you swimsuits but they are surprisingly conservative arguably more so than Thier base costumes. I am curious to see if it is fanart of the official swimsuits or just something they plucked of the internet
Yeah I mean pretty much everyone has played and enjoyed something with fanscervice in it. The point though is if xenoblade 2 was carried solely by fanscervice people would not be talking about it 5 years later. Most harem fanscervice anime with no value get lost to time xenoblade 2 is still talked about it has more than fanscervice. Also most of them were at least speaking like they played bayonetta
Thanks it fits I mean I do like Pokémon I really like the idea and want to like the modern games. It bothers me when people get called a hater who want to dislike pokemon for hating on the games I don’t. I want to love them. To compare Pokémon to my favorite tv series of all time velma everyone hated on it for a few weeks but then stopped talking about it and probably won’t bring it up again because nobody cares. Unlike Pokémon I care about Pokémon thats why I am so hard on it. I’ll stop bashing it either when it reaches a fraction of its potential or I simply give up on caring about it
Don’t get me wrong xenoblade as a whole does have alot of great Waifus but the hooks run way deeper. You definitely are not the only person who came into xenoblade for the waifus and left with existentialism it’s funny seeing new xenoblade/nier fans who get much more than they bargained for reactions. I also got one first because I have a pathological need to do things in order
It’s more expensive and to do a bit of digging on how long to beat
To beat then complete
Swo/shi; 25 , 78
Dlc; 11 hours, 43
Pik/eve; 25 hours, 53 1/2
Bdsp; 26 hours, 113
Scarlet; 31.5 h, 77.5
Xenoblade de; 58 h, 143
Xenoblade 2; 64 h, 257
Torna; 20 h, 40
Xenoblade 3; 61.5, 168
Yeah you can see a stark contrast and even then a large part of Pokémon is tedious grinding so xenoblade and again I really take no joy from this is better
he had a lot of stamena shrooms. Seriously though he did manage that climb which is very impressive
I am all for experiencing things as the author intended so for me it should be subs all the way but xenoblade’s are all so good I can’t help it. When in the 10 years of doing dubs your only flaw was a single actors screaming you did something right. And I did not know I needed welsh catgirls in my games but I have come to the conclusion they are the superior form of animal girl
that sums up Zeke pretty well and illustrates the best parts of Xenoblade it’s subversions of your expectations. The evil imperialism empire isn’t actually that bad, the evil pope is evil, the bufoon prince is wise, the cute wholesome waifu has split personality disorder and wants to die (Writing that down I realized how messed up I just wrote was) . But back to zeke he is literally introduced unknowingly making inappropriate innuendos and being an idiot. And then you quite literally see him almost get killed and pandoria become a s#x slave (again this games gets dark). But beneath his childish demeanor zeke is very much an adult who understands stuff and was the only one who talked rex into sense in that scene and I know it would have been better narratively but yeah I am glad pyra and mythra came back
Like I have said a few times now since I have played all the games I can find you the very abundant non x1, x3 or torna spoilery wholesome fanart if you want that will probably be the closest you grt to the happy post game manga you want
I still wanna get M one day I have literally heard nothing but good things about the trilogy
my rule of media is nothing is unintentional. A draft has to be written by multiple writers. Approved by a guy on top, recorded by voicd actors animated by animators and approved by many more people at the top. And all of those people probably more than 100 lead to the game being the exact way it was presented to the consumer. And put that way in no universe did they somehow accidentally put that much implication that morag and Brighid like each other. And also this franchise gets away with so much I refuse to believe that they wouldn’t be allowed to get away with a fan favorite ship if thats what the fans and some of the developers clearly want. I believe they definitely have the gall to make the majority of fans happy
Forgot who had what?
yeah very much so xenoblade is great at its tragic antagonists every game has one and you will feel bad for all of them and it isn’t just having the tragic characters but how good it is at making you do a 180 of em
God of war is an amazing example of companies caring about a game. All the little details and fun interactions the games is a masterpiece. I get really frustrated when Nintendo fans get territorial about an amazing game (that couldn’t even run on switch) winning awards because it’s from a “soulless AAA company” when it could not be further from the truth. Ragnarok while having entirely different design philosophy to anything Nintendo has made is a technical and artistic achievement console wars have blinded people to
No not responding for a bit is fine like me this weekend definitely needed that break. And I think based on how long this is it definitely gave my writing volume a boost
Alright! I’m back! With a response! Also just in case you save to read this later! I got torna today, and I’m gonna play it later, is there anything I should do main game wise or can I jump in? Also my legendary blade grind has been going pretty well, only a few more left.
Ikr? I love galaxy two, never had played the first one before that, so I had to, had to buy it, plus I was waiting all year! I don’t even care that I buying into it, worth it! I need to still 100% on Luigi, did Mario. I agree, I wish they would just let us play 2 already, it was such a crime not to include it!
Why do open world games always do fetch quest? Like they could at least pick something original, but it’s always a fetch quest, with filler text, and what’s worst, is that it’s usually downtime between the main story, and like you said, other then the field skills which I think suck so much, the game never waste my time, and I feel like everything in the game plays into the story one way or another.
Dang the images are that bad huh? Or just a tad too spicy? I like her design tho! Really? From how people talk about it you’d think xenoblade 1 has no fanservice, and saying that the option, skins might be more reveling, is really telling, I guess people really do just pick and choose what to complain about, that or they just don’t know it exist Lmao. So the franchise has always had fanservice, and it wasn’t just a 2 thing, I didn’t know that.
[spoiler]Klaus was just doing the most logical thing, and that, is logical, I still think the little detail with all blades aging American accents is such a cool detail, like it’s only for the English dub but they didn’t need to go that far with dubbing details
Did I care somewhat if the character I didn’t like got in, sure, but the game has like 70+ characters or something like that, and one out of all those characters wasn’t going to kill me, I still got some I wanted.
Right? What fanservice franchise really gets talked about much? Even the most popular one, gal gun, I don’t ever hear it talked about unless they come out with a new game, it just kinda exist, xenoblade 2 on the other hand, hasn’t been forgotten about, yet they will claim that’s all it’s about for some reason, right? They all seemed like they played Bayonetta, and only watched two scenes from xenoblade, that being the fanservice scenes probably, but even the fanservice scene was actually used for something like my god that was genius!
I think people that really care for the franchise, are the ones that are going to critique it to get better, a lot of there games at this point are downright unacceptable, the game is 60$, and asking for an extra 30+ and for what? Just to port the same models over, over, and over, and over again, and to keep charging us extra for it, it’s honestly a sad to see the game like this, I love Pokémon, but I can’t defend this.
You saying what you say about the game just shows that you care, you want to like it but they just won’t let you, also idk why they act like the games are above criticism.
So much deeper, I honestly didn’t expect that, like I came for one thing and got something else so different! And if Nier is like this as well! I can’t wait to get to it one day!
And xenoblade is 60 bucks, just let that sink in, these games are the same price! Pokémon needs to be a 40 dollar game with its production value, 60 is waaaay to high, it’s so crazy to me, how?
He didn’t even seem all that tired afterwards tbh lol! The dub is too good I agree, I’m sure the jp are amazing but I can’t pull away from the dub, the screaming is literally the only problem, and that’s honestly not the worst a dub can do, I have heard much worst, also I 100% agree with you, I did not know I needed welsh car girls this badly till playing this game, so just to clarify, all catgrils in this series have welsh accents?
The fact that the games get as dark as they do, with such a deceiving artstyle is great, like the lengths of how dark they got with some of the implications, took this seemingly innocent game to a whole new level, and I’m so glad zeck and pandora are ok, I can’t bare to think about it, and yes there is the fact that Pyra and mythra ask Rex to do him a favor, which he plans to don with all his might, just to ask to be killed, it’s dark man. Zeck was what Rex needed, he had knowledge that Rex just didn’t obtain yet, which again, you wouldn’t think he would be the guy, but here we are! We love you zeck!
Please do!
I’m definitely going to get it, I hope they just release the rest, and it’s not 60 bucks for once! That’s why I’m going to wait five more years for prime if I have too.
you have a great point, there is so much there, like so much, I mean even the end! The freaking end has them cuddling together, and you can say that means nothing but everything that came before on top of that! There’s just no freaking way!
I can’t remember lol!
[spoiler]Really? That makes me so happy and excited! I need to see how they can write such a villain again
Wile I haven’t played it, the stuff I hear from the devs, don’t sound like soulless company’s making a game, it sounds like a project, that people actually care about, that they took time to think about, those are the kind of games I don’t mind paying 70$ for, even tho I think 60 is fine, at least I can justify the price, and hope it helps them make more like it later down the line.
I can tell lol! Taking a break is always nice!
Also sorry if my writing, and sentence structure just kinda sucks, my writing block hit so hard writing this, it’s crazy, I just could think of words the say, and when i did I just couldn’t find the best way to say them, idk why lol.
@Eagly The game is going to be so good! I’m sorry I ever doubted it!
@Owl1 I think people thinking what they thought was responsible, but man did some of the criticism didn’t even feel like criticism anymore, I think legends is the last good Pokémon game we are getting for some time, so I’m going to enjoy it!
@Snatcher all I know about bayonetta is she is supposed to be a hot assassin witch in a franchise I have heard nothing but good things about. I very much want to play the games but I haven’t so I can’t comment on any of her characterization.
And thanks I am beyond exited for GOTG 3 if my new profile didn’t give you any hints
yeah they definitely have control over thier clothing again Brighid literally says they do so the argument is invalid. The blades choose to look they way that they do and while I would argue pyra’s personalitt seems a bit modest for her cartoon if it bothered her so much she would probably change it. And while technically the artist does pick everything that’s true for every franchise at the end of the day pyra and literally everyone else is just a mouthpiece for the writers she has not thoughts everything she does is dictated.
I mean it’s definitely a cute idea something tells me the 2 are close enough morag wouldn’t complain in fact Half of her closet probably belongs to Brighid while norags only worn them once
look the smash community definitely has problems I mean there was that huge scandal however the smash community dosen even like Pyra/Mythra. If his argument it’s sexist because of fanart than 3 things
Lewd fanart from a single person does not dictate the opinions of an entire fanbase
2. There is literally an internet meme where people make dirty fanart of everything
3. The overwhelming smash community response was they disliked the clothing of P and M and wanted someone else
I read the article and yeah some people will always suck but we are in the year 2023 making articles like that dosen’t accomplish anything it just makes the problem worse there will be some people who see P and M as only exiting for thier appearance and they are happy about it and another group mad about but both are wrong thier fully fleshed out characters and it’s pretty clear that many people haven’t played xenoblade 2 because as someone who played the game I can say that it’s impossible for me to see any character in the game as two dimensional
okay just link all the images and I will put them together minimally cropped
The crazy part is the collecor was only brought into existence as a contingency plan when the show got canceled they were never meant to exist a non canceled owl house would have been so different and even though I have been enjoying it I am sad we will never see the full picture at least until Disney gets really desperate because they can’t make any new ideas and throw money at Dana until she makes a sequel series
Everyone loves rex romantically or platonically. Morag is his mom and zeke has crazy cousin energy. They all care about him snd it’s natural that feelings would develop. And yeah all 3 romances are done well. Nia is in total control of her declaration of love for rex and after her “rejection” she dosen’t spend the rest of the game bitter at Pyra/Mythra or ever betray her personality she is still Nia. And after it becomes apparent Pyra/Mythra are endgame they keep growing in fact thier most important character growth of decided life is worth living happens well past them being rescued
to crap on self inserts rex has a personality he has good traits and he has flaws. He won people over because of his good traits he didn’t have Pyra mythra and Nia spend the whole game taking turns trying to corner him alone to tell him how great he is. Rex actually just exited and was nice and the girls naturally gravitated to a legitimately good person. It also helps they all had characterizations outside of thier relationships with rex in fact you could remove thier relationships with him entirely and still have full fleshed characters not different proportioned girls with the same personality and goal to date rex. And there is never a contest Nia never gets jealous of the aegis and they are friends and they don’t even acknowledge the fact they are romantic rivals because they aren’t going to let romance get in the way of friendship which is Corney but better than 90% of network tv
Yeah again fully realized characters that just happen to be designed by hentai artists. If thier only value was thier physical looks we wouldn’t be talking about them 5 years later. Thier designs are done well but inside of the designs is the true magic of the game the writing
Sorry to respond twice, but did I respond to this?
