  1. One thing I really appreciate in the Souls series is that most enemies drop the shit they're wearing/wielding. The looting makes sense and if you ever see an enemy with something cool, you know that you can usually just get it from them.

      Battle Trophies are just an awesome concept, like it just proudly shows how much bragging rights you have. In Maplestory every endgame boss drops a unique equip based on them(a necklace made of one of their rocks, a cup they're holding, a helmet shaped after their head, etc) , and if you equip a set of them they note only give you a massive extra boost to your ATK, they also give you an aura. So it's very highly sought after to collect them all and stand in a big public space on a boss chair to show off.

  2. Would I be able to properly enjoy Valkyria Chronicles 4's story having not played 2 or 3?

    1. mido9

      mido9

      They don't much, but 2 is very likable, it's a more socially-oriented laid back game since it takes place in a military school and all the characters do a lot of laid back casual activities and interact with each other and stuff, but it can get very serious very often.

      1 and 4 are part of the main series. The Second Europan War ends at the end of 4. 2 and 3 follow a different conflict, the Gallian Civil War and the unrest within Gallia.

  3. I'm always happy about how good guys like Ike and Ganondorf are in Ultimate but yo wtf Pichu is legit insane. From complete troll pick in Melee to without a doubt one of the best characters in Ultimate.

      Though the real winner is ZeRo, who stayed home and restreamed the tournament (with permission and some stipulations, of course), and made more money than the winner in doing so. XD

      I always watch ZeRo's streams of tournaments, his commentary is really good and really funny.

    2. Summer Darj

      Summer Darj

      Yeah, I read ZeRo kind of retired and focuses on streaming now. I have mixed feelings about that because it shows that streaming can be more profitable than being a smash top player. Makes me wonder if I should jump on the stream train, too. Even if I'm not a top player, I guess that with decent knowledge I can build up a fanbase and roll from there.

      I don't really follow smash pros. I watch tournament streams/videos and I am familiar with some of them, but I don't root for anyone in particular, instead I root for the underdogs or those who bring underused characters to the table. Although I noticed Ultimate has a lot of viable diversity, it impresses me.

      He's going to some stuff, like Summit and Evo, but he's pretty burned out and doesn't actually like going to tournaments. He's left behind a record that will most likely never be reached again, and now he doesn't have to live paycheck to paycheck, so to speak, going to multiple tournaments a week because Smash tournaments make little to no money (Genesis' winner payout was only about $7000).

  4. "Captain Falcon is bad, just play Ganondorf." Man what a fuckin' time to be alive.

    1. Thar

      Thar

      Or, you know, you can just play whoever you want. lol

    2. Shradow

      Shradow

      Well yeah, but that's sort of missing the point of the statement. It's just surreal that Ganondorf is actually a good character in this game.

  5. I am massively incapable of being an evil person in RPGs where you can do bad stuff. Like, right now in Skyrim I'm a vampire who doesn't feed on people (partly because for some reason feeding only makes your vampire perks worse), who has the Ebony Blade that I fully upgraded by just repeatedly reviving and killing Jaree-Ra (since he and his sister are bad guys who betray you and you have to kill them for the quest but they count as "friends" for the Ebony Blade).

      Play VC4, feel like a monster

      being evil is fun tho

      When I was younger and played Fable for the first time I did at least a couple evil playthroughs, but kids are little shits and I was no different.

  6. Turtles are my favorite animal, but I'm not sure why that is.

    1. mido9

      mido9

      Because you're lazier than they are.

    2. Shradow

      Shradow

      Sounds about right.

  7. I fucking love how many stages in Ultimate have Ring a Ding in the song list. XD

    1. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      Agree 100%. Also love that you can play Rathalos' theme on all those stages too. The other play list is the best.

    2. Shradow

      Shradow

      I haven't unlocked all the songs to look at everything but I suppose all the songs that would go under "Other" or whatever in the music playlists are all just bunched together on all the miscellaneous stages (Living Room, Tomodachi Life, Pictochat, Wrecking Crew, etc.).

    3. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      Pretty much. If a stage doesn't have a character they just get the other play list. I think the Ice Climber stage is the only exception.

  8. Ooh, one of the free PS Plus games this month is Hitman: The Complete First Season.

  9. I had to buy it as a series of data DVDs from a 3rd party since not even pirates have the files because of the show's age and niche, but I am now the proud owner of seasons 1-35 of SASUKE, AKA Ninja Warrior, and I don't mean the lame American version.

  10. I really hope Mimir, Brok, and Sindri continue to be in future God of War games. They add really good dynamics to a series which, from what I understand, generally wasn't known for having a great cast with great interactions and  dialogue. It was mostly just Kratos going around killing stuff by his lonesome for the most part, yeah?

  11. I always enjoy when games go out of their way to have special dialogue/interactions for when you do a task/bring an item before being told to.

    1. Thar

      Thar

      Same. Another thing I wish developers did more of was just do something as a joke or just to have fun. They used to do that a lot and I miss it in major titles.

    2. mido9

      mido9

      Who is undertale? The game even calls you out if you have 9999 gold for sans' fried snowball

      Fallout is pretty hilarious with this.

  12. As expected, the final Valkyrie fight in Dad of Boi was infinitely harder than the actual final boss.

    1. Shradow

      Shradow

      Holy shit I was not expecting that twist at the end about boi, though.

  13. DBFZ S2 DLC is fuckin' hype and we don't even know them all yet (at least according to the trailer, I dunno if dataminers know some shit).

    1. Flame Dragon

      Flame Dragon

      The trailer made it seem like they will be the last two which highlights how much they want to get in on the movie. 

    2. Shradow

      Shradow

      I'm still hoping for at least Master Roshi or Mr. Satan to get in.

    3. Fusion

      Fusion

      Master Roshi and Kefla maybe?

      If they're bringing in ToP people, that makes the most sense alongside Jiren. Videl is hype, so I'm down for more human characters like Mr. Satan and Roshi.

  14. I never played much of Pokken, but I absolutely adored that Pikachu was the game's Heihachi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgtksXF5JSY

     

  15. I'm not even sure when I'll get to KH3. Once I finish Dad of Boi I still have, in no particular order, NieR: Automata, Tales of Berseria, Horizon Zero Dawn, FFXV, and KH:BBS+2.8 stuff still in my backlog. I'm sure there's other stuff I'm forgetting as well.

    1. Thar

      Thar

      Damn, that's a lot to catch up on. Granted, I also have a pretty large backlog, but I'm really not that dedicated lol

    2. Shradow

      Shradow

      Well, aside from the KH stuff I'm already a fair bit into the rest of those games. I do have to start over NieR and Tales of Berseria basically from the beginning due to losing data due to a console repair awhile ago, but I at least know what to do to make progression faster.

    3. Nathanael D. Striker

      Nathanael D. Striker

      If it were up to me, ignore anything not KH related.

  16. Last thing I gotta do in Dad of Boi before finishing the story is grind out all the Niflheim stuff, which is going much faster than I thought it would.

    1. Comrade Duck

      Comrade Duck

      What power level were you when you fought her? I braved the volcano Valkyrie at like 5. Somehow won.

    2. Shradow

      Shradow

      I foughtthe first seven Valkyries from levels 3-5, and I think I was 7 when I fought the Niflheim one.

    3. Shradow

      Shradow

      In general I'd say I breezed past the Valkyries after the first couple because they largely shared the same movesets, just some stuff needed to be dodged/parried differently depending on which one. At that point it was basically like fighting Dark Souls bosses that you're already used to. I beat the Muspelheim and Niflheim ones first try iirc.

  17. It's still kind of surreal to me that Ike is looking to be a high/top tier character in Ultimate.

  18. I'm the kind of person who never gets tired of eating the same thing repeatedly, what about you guys?

    1. Nico

      Nico

      Only if it's pizza, pizza pops/pockets or cereal. 

    2. Thar

      Thar

      I could eat the same thing every day if I felt like it, though I like to change it up every now and again.

  19. I'd always assumed the garbage man in Tory Story 3 was supposed to be Sid, but I never realized they'd also gotten his original voice actor from the first movie for him. Neat.

    1. (o ×)

      (o ×)

      Funniest part is they are union. Dude has a pretty legitimate career.

    2. Shradow

      Shradow

      Yeah, from what I understand being a garbage man can be quite good in terms of pay/benefits and stuff. Sanitation is very important. Plus, they sometimes get to find cool shit.

  20. Newest OPM chapter is out and holy shit Zombieman's a fucking badass. He and Metal Bat are definiely my favorite S-class heroes.

  21. I don't think I've ever been that interested in Deathstroke as he normally is depicted, mostly a badass merc. How he was in Teen Titans as the calculating mastermind Slade (who was still badass) was the coolest.

  22. r/MaliciousCompliance is a fantastic subreddit.

    1. Shradow

      Shradow

      A lot of them are funny but I found this one to be extremely touching: https://www.reddit.com/r/MaliciousCompliance/comments/8jpdtw/his_name_was_charles/

  23. One cartoon death that's really stuck with me since I was a kid is Ian Peek's from Batman Beyond, because of how scary of a way to go I thought it was. Though it wasn't until recently that I was reminded of where it was from, I never forgot the scene of the guy falling through the floor, but couldn't remember all the other context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aNZ0n-OGMDg

     

  24. Decided to check out that Titan Games show the Rock is hosting, but it's not really what I was expecting. I'd much rather watch stuff like Ninja Warrior or Unbeatable Banzuke.
