All the SMRPG characters are great of course, but with Paper Mario they really did something special. They took Mario enemies and turned many of them into unique characters. It's not even just the partners, the NPCs got that treatment too. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |
| Topic | Paper Mario >>> Super Mario RPG |
| GeneralKenobi85 06/01/19 12:21:57 PM #6 | I think they're both about equal, but I think the world of Paper Mario is much more interesting. I do like SMRPG's world, but it feels more like a hybrid of Final Fantasy/JRPGs in general and Mario. Paper Mario utilizes and expands on just Mario's assets. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

I can definitely see it being overwhelming for new Total War players. There's a lot about it that is atypical compared to the rest of the series. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| Topic | new GODZILLA MOVIE is worst than the 2014 movie - critics |
| GeneralKenobi85 05/30/19 10:55:41 AM #102 | The best Godzilla movies do have a good human side of the story. But the 2014 one did not. Godzilla doesn't need to be on the screen all the time, but the teasing in the 2014 one was just bullshit and easily the worst part of the film. If King of the Monsters doesn't have a compelling human story, that's fine. It doesn't need to be on par with the franchise's best movies to still be entertaining. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| GeneralKenobi85 05/30/19 10:29:22 AM #330 | I mean on paper the Mets were better than a .500 team. Still are too. Just on paper never works out. Even if they had built more optimally to win now, the Mets' atrocious luck would have ruined it anyway. Either way, pretty disastrous loss. As for the Yankees, hopefully they can take 3 out of 4 from the Red Sox this weekend. Would be nice if the Rays were their only major threat in the AL East. Probably going to split though. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| GeneralKenobi85 05/24/19 11:51:28 AM #20 | Bad_Mojo posted... Never played the first one. What makes this one so great? Like, sell the game to me. I know you can play a lot of different Mario levels. But what is that such a big deal? Primarily, it's because Mario is fun. But for a better answer, letting players create levels gives you nearly endless possibilities. There were plenty of concepts that were probably never even fathomed for actual Mario games that were able to be created in Mario Maker. I never even bothered with the actual Maker mode, I just enjoyed playing the levels others created. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| Topic | I love turn based strategy, dislike RTS. Will I like the Total War series? |
| GeneralKenobi85 05/23/19 9:27:48 PM #4 | Romulox28 posted... it controls/feels like an RTS game but it's more about issuing commands and setting up troops than it is doing typical RTS micro ("select your marines & right click on the mutalisks") if that makes sense. if you hate the overall feel of RTS you wont like it. last one i played was rome total war more than a decade ago but i doubt the series changed too much It's changed a lot actually, though you're right in that its basic formula is the same. Total War is divided into two modes of play, campaign and battles. The campaign is the main strategic layer. It's where you build your army and move them. You engage in diplomacy, build up your settlements, etc. It's the meat of the game, and it is turn based. The real time play only kicks in when doing battles. The battles are the main draw of Total War in my opinion. You generally have a lot of freedom in how you want to deploy your troops, right down to the rank and file of a unit. You get to give orders to every individual unit. Usually battles of having your line of infantry engage the enemy's line of infantry while you use your missiles and cavalry to dish out the most damage. Total War is not like typical RTS games where you have to juggle between fighting and base building at the same time. I've always found that to be quite overwhelming. And although battles can occasionally be overwhelming in Total War, you can pause them and still issue orders to your troops. I highly recommend giving it a try. Shogun 2 is a good place to start if you're interested. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

The 2014 one had decent build-up, but it petered out as the movie went on. The main issue was that it had a boring human protagonist. Anyway I don't see why you're hung up about something being unbelievable in a series about giant monsters fighting. You're also failing to realize that the excitement isn't just for Godzilla being on screen fighting more frequently. A lot of the hype is coming from who the other monsters are. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

Also this I don't agree with, assuming you mean the 2014 one. The human story was not compelling at all. The best Godzilla movies actually have good human plots that work in tandem with the scenes of Godzilla and the other monsters. The 2014 one did not, and teased the audience with showing Godzilla all the way until the end. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

| Topic | Never played windwaker, hope it comes to switch. |
| GeneralKenobi85 05/22/19 10:40:24 AM #11 | AlisLandale posted... Its a good, but flawed game. It gets (maybe deservedly) rated more highly because its gorgeous and has the best portrayal of a villain in the franchise I would say second best portrayal of a villain in the franchise, just behind A Link to the Past. The only thing that knocks Wind Waker down a peg for me is the dungeons. They're all pretty good, but also weaker overall than any other 3D Zelda game except BOTW. I enjoyed the sailing and exploration, but I did only play the HD version, not the original. I know that's a bit tougher to enjoy in the original with the lack of the swift sail. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

And I'd absolutely love if MLB were the ones to intervene and kick them out. I'm just saying that I can't ever see it happening. As for Cespedes, that's both hilarious and sad.

They just don't feel as strongly as you do about needing them to be ousted. Even if they did, how would anyone go about it? You're right, maybe all these writers should be calling out ownership more severely than they do, but that's not going to suddenly make the Wilpons sell the team. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |

Damn_Underscore posted...Not to mention that for basically every game, you have to use some sort of glitch or esoteric strategy to be able to get the best time. For most games, a speedrun isn't just beating a game as fast as you can. There's nothing wrong with glitches. I don't see why people should have to abide by this arbitrary "way the game was meant to be played" concept. Speedrunners seem like they've done a good job of figuring out what makes for good entertainment and what doesn't though. You're right, a speedrun that is just constantly clipping through walls or something would probably be boring to watch. But exploiting a glitch here and there doesn't suddenly ruin the whole thing. I agree with the topic though. Speedrunning completely goes against how I want to play video games. I also dislike replaying the vast majority of games. --- Ah, yes, the Negotiator: General Kenobi <sneaky beeping> |
