Re: Games Discussion Thread
So yeah, not a fan of ARMA II.
I actually really didn't like that game. Got it because I heard about how realistic it was supposed to be... but discovered that all its rabid fans lied to me. My character couldn't even throw C4 properly, and there was zero intensity to firefights. Which is A) unrealistic and B) boring as shit.
So yeah, not a fan of ARMA II.
It was alright. Ran through it, fairly typical hack and slash. I like the genre, but there's more enjoyable titles out there. I even enjoyed Dante's Inferno more than Heavenly Sword.

Re: Games Discussion Thread
told you, Dat sword pogo
And jeeze I missed Oni's post before. Marth was so disgustingly strong in Melee, he kinda feels gimped in brawl. That could just be because everyone had to get good at fighting against him though.
I think the absoloute worst to fight against in a full match is pikachu. Just spam thunderbolt the entire time, it got so bad with one friend that we'd just ring him out before actually going after each other.

Re: Games Discussion Thread
I used to use only Sheik, but she got nerfed to hell in Brawl. For that matter, Ganondorf is awful now.
At least Lucario and Sonic make up for it. Sonic has that awesome speed and some great air control with his spring, while Lucario is fantastic for punishing offensive players.

Re: Games Discussion Thread
Tabuu isn't too hard either when you get down his pattern. Except a certain instant death wave.
They aren't tooo bad.

Re: Games Discussion Thread
^Tabuu actually pretty easy, even on Insane. The instant death shockwave is probably the easiest attack to dodge.
It's just... THE OTHER FUCKING BOSSES THAT MAKE BOSS RUSH HARD AS FUCK. Oh yeah, don't even bother play co-op for this shit. It's just as stupid as playing Battletoads with a friend (especially if they fucking blow at playing)

Re: Games Discussion Thread
YAY LIARA! And Tali, too.
EDI..... really? I mean, I guess they could give her a mechanical (possibly Geth?) body, but..... really? What, are they TRYING to give Joker/EDI shippers MORE material? ..... Well, yeah, okay, probably not, but.... really? EDI? A squad member? Hell, I'd take KELLY over EDI.
And then.... the prothean..... wha.... buh... huh?!? ..... Well, I guess it was about time I got to have a tentacle monster as a squad member. A giant... pink... religious.... tentacle monster.
EDIT: SCRATCH THAT I DONE DERP'D. Prothean would still be weird, though.
Gotta agree, where the FUCK is the Krogan, either Wrex or Grunt IDC (though I'd rather have Wrex)? And what about Miranda and Jacob? Do they say 'fuck it, we're with Cerberus and have no ability to break from them', and leave you?
And what about Legion, Jack, or Thane?
AND WHAT ABOUT MORDIN?!? No FUCKING way am I going anywhere without Mordin. He's the only one that can even come close to Garrus levels of awesome.
Glad that it's just hearsay so far, but man, they'd better not just cut people out and not have a very convincing explanation.
Of course Garrus is going to be there. Garrus is best squadmate.

Re: Games Discussion Thread
I believe you're thinking of the Hanar when you say pink religious tentacle monster.
As far as not having a krogan on the team, well Wrex was a cunt about all my alignment choices in the first so I didn't use him, and I really didn't need a tank in the second so grunt was unused (yay ability spam!). It really doesn't affect my playstyle, but it's kind of tradition at this point to have a completely useless lizard flying through space with me.
And EDI gets a mechanical body? FUCK YOU BETHESDA, EDI gets a mechanical body but you can't make something for Joker? That's right, I want to take the cripple pilot on missions with me! The only reason I even have squadmates (besides garrus, he actually knows how to shoot his gun AND use cover) is so I can use their abilities, at least with Joker I'd get to listen to Seth Green make smartass jokes while sitting behind cover waiting for his abilites to charge back up.
You know what? I want a DLC that allows me to play as Joker, you pilot the (insert NEW SHIP name here, because the old one's going to get destroyed!) and in between missions you get to have converstions with crew members, and the goal is to be the biggest smartass possible, thus granting you bonuses for the next mission!

Re: Games Discussion Thread
Having now looked up Protheans, okay, not AS weird as it would be to have a Hanar as a squadmate, but still kinda odd.
I would totally buy that Joker DLC you described.
If they really want to spruce things up, increase the amount of team members you're allowed to have active at one time (I get why it's only 3, but I prefer 4). And allow me to swap out Shepard if I want to.
Ah. Well then. Shows how long ago it was I played/how much I care to look things up. I DONE DERP'D.

Bethesda was Skyrim, Bioware is Mass Effect 3.
And this is just hear say. Let's wait to see what happens in game, eh?

Oooops, forgot who I was bitching at. Didn't help that the friggin reply to thread box deleted my message whenever I got half-way through. Thank you for the correction though.

Re: Games Discussion Thread
I thought Ashley/Kaiden and Liara for ME3 was released ages ago? And they'd have to put in Garrus and Tali because they're as much a part of the story as Shepard is. That and the fans would cause a shit fit. Not sure how they're going to explain Liara being there though seeing as she's the Shadow Broker. Same with the possible Prothean, they were all supposed to have been wiped out.

Just downloaded the new Twisted Metal demo, damn good in my opinion.
And the other day, I pre-ordered Yakuza: Dead souls, still one of my favorite series of all time. =3

Re: Games Discussion Thread
Prothean may be simple. there was that planet full of them in stasis back in ME1, what was it called? craaap...
anyways, the VI there was having to shut down the stasis pods, but it would make sense that it would start to revive the most important ones if it knew there was no saving them as-is. I can see a few at the end of the list of shutdowns making it out.
However, I don't see why Bioware want to do such a thing, seems like such a horrible stretch, and I have no idea what they think they're adding to the story by doing so.

Re: Games Discussion Thread
Actually, having a prothean as a team member fits well with the story archetype. You need someone that knows of the reapers and has some experience dealing with them. The technological and tactical advantage of having a prothean team member make them an ideal choice.
And don't forget that he's going to be completely useless in those departments because if he wasn't it would ruin the game!
Prothean team member 5 seconds before end of ME 3 : OH, Shepard, if you want to stop all the reapers just push this button here! Sorry I forgot, but I was in stasis so long my memory was a bit fuzzy! : )
Also, Blasto's my home-jelly. We go waaaaaay back. Some rent-a-spacepig was givin him trouble over his sermons and I capped that bitch.
