I don't see how people hack systems. Not to bash hackers, cos its pretty cool what you do, and there ARE a lot of advantages to hacking systems (Like no region locking.). But i feel there are too many risks to hacking, as getting caught and going to jail. Also, developers don't particularly like it when a system is hacked because of piracy reasons. Piracy kills systems, drops sales for developers, and makes them not want to develop any more games for that system. I just think the trade off isn't a fair one, especially for us that don't hack, especially if a developer we really love wont develop any more games for that system, but that's just my 2 cents no one's telling you guys to stop, just consider.
@Ezekiel True a sword would hurt more and would cut a Pokemon in half, but I also think that if Cubone and Marowhack can mercilessly beat their enemies with their bone clubs (Blunt weapons that in real life COULD KILL), a sword can be in the game. Besides, Its a Ghost-Steel type. That is really good and if it has levitate the only weakness it would have would be fire. That's really good.
@Yawaru Well your first point defeats you. Why release when it doesn't appeal to many people? And what if the game is voted to come over, yet its unsuccessful? It would be a large waste of time and they'd go back to their old ways of choosing which games to release since they lost money on letting others vote for them instead of them choosing on their own.
@Ezekiel Let Me count the ways:
1. It can still slash, if all these other Pokes can dig they're claws into each other
2. It can bash the Pokemon with the hilt
3. The not sharp side of the sword can still hurt if swung hard enough
4. It can hit the other Pokes with the sheath
5. It can wrap its long hand around the other Pokes like the move WRAP
Do you see my point yet?
@SockoMario What do you mean by that? if you look towards the description of Honedge, its a sword owned by humans. Is it supposed to be a demonic sword with blood veins running on it with a demonic bloodshot eye like Soul Edge? No, it supposed to be a sword HUMANS used. Usually, broad swords have blander colors. Sheaths can be pretty bland too, so i don't see why PEEPLES BE TRIPPIN OVER POKEMON DESIGNS WHEN THERE ARE WEIRD DESIGHNS IN POKEMON'S GLORY DAYS! Sorry foe the yelling...
Swords = AUTOMATIC AWESOMENESS! Especially a ghost sword that can swing itself. It'd be cool if the evolution was a black knight armor with the mask up with white eyes and a mouth like Haunter's and maybe a big sword that he/she holds in front or to side of himself/herself.
I see where everyone is coming from. I would love to have games like Fantasy Life or other JRPGs, but whats the point if you can't read or understand any of the text? Instead of saying we should get rid of region lock, i think we should keep on the pressure for localization instead. Just from games like Project X Zone, we know that if we ban together enough, and keep complaining i guess you could say, we can do anything. Of course, that game wasn't too successful, BUT if we rally for games that are successful, Like we did for Monster Hunter 3G/3U, they kinda wouldn't have a choice since the company would be making SO much money from that game in that first country (Like MH in Japan) they'd a good chance of making MORE money. So in conclusion, localization FTW!
I'm hoping for a game kinda like Secret Rings because I liked the interesting designs of the stages they were just a little too close quarters sonic for me. Also, longer levels and a longer game would be nice. Finally, I'm kind of hoping for more realistic designs like in Colors or Generations, It'd be kinda cool if this was concept art but I'm not so sure for the final product. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens.
Im hoping this is good. But i cant make any judgements until i play the game or watch the movie. I think that has potential to be really good. But thats because I've always had an interest in the "giant robots fighting giant monsters" concept.
It doesn't really matter to me, i couldn't care less about how big the CPP makes the 3DS and XL. Don't shoot me, but i actually like the design and it fits in my book bag perfectly.Maybe its just me.
@zoroarkrules25 I have a feeling that its on the way, my friend. But for me, id rather have an emerald remake than ruby and sapphire. But maybe its just me...
Im in the middle. of course some of the nintendo fanboys were up in arms about this Fish's comments and i understand, i was mad too but i agree with people like Bliquid, if we call him names and such we dont have the right to critizise. And everyone should be able to express their opinion freely but i think he could have had a more respectful way to say it.
@Kyloctopus Me too. One of these days Gamestop, one...of...these...days, POW! Straight to the moon. Nah, but really hoped it'd be here today. Oh well...
@Jaz007 Even though I agree with you, I think we should all try and give the game a chance. Who knows, the story might shine brighter than any profanity that they put in the game.
Wait, didnt the other Lords of Shadow game have this type of stuff? And wasnt it a really game anyways? I have faith that the true story will shine through all of these outlying things. And lets not judge this game so harshly right away. I say we give it a chance just like the other games that we already have faith in. Like Fire Emblem Awakening.
@OlympicCho Dang, I mean come on! At least give it a chance! Its a game that does have depth, I've actually played it so I suggest until you've played the game lighten up a bit, okay?
@OlympicCho Everyone has been saying that lately, that the quality of Nintendo games is bad. Now I know thats the opinion of some people but i think thats simply not true. Nintendo has been in a rut lately but its still a great company that makes great quality games.
