Okay first off games have already reached Hollywood levels and above Uncharted, The Last of Us, and The Walking Dead Season 1 are as good as or better than their Hollywood contemporaries. Other games like Shadow of the Colossus, and Mother 3 are some of the best works to ever grace any form of literature or media, games have absolutely showed that they can be a extremely good art form. There's absolutely no reason we shouldn't continue to push Games to further themselves as an art-form, or that they're "just games" and we shouldn't take them seriously we absolutely should. This is still a young medium it still has a lot of room to grow and we get to see it blossom, we should encourage it, push it, and support those that seek to push it forward. Don't just dismiss it and say we should lower our expectations. Just because there is a commercial side to the medium doesn't mean that art can't or shouldn't be encourage to come from it. When a game tries to have a good story is absolutely in the consumers interest to make sure it is written well. The consumers is going to complain if the company tries to sell them by saying they have a good story when it in fact does not. That being said there's plenty room in this world for games that don't try and most people wouldn't bash those for their stories. Nobody cares if Mario has a good story and that's fine but games that do want to make their story one its selling points deserve to be criticized for it just like anything else that's selling itself on its story. The real major problem with the industry right now is the chase for pretty graphics, it's not better storytelling, it's not better music, it's not better writing, it's not better gameplay, because they don't cost that much money it just requires talent. Heck it is not even necessarily those massive worlds believe it or not something like Uncharted is just as expensive if not more then those Open World games Ubisoft loves so much, in fact I would bet you handover fist that Uncharted was exponentially more expensive to make then Breath of the Wild. But you know what does require boatloads of cash and asinine budgets those shiny pretty graphics, that the new console love so much, those new technologies that make the faces slightly more realistic, that is what is ballooning budgets. We shouldn't lower our expectations of games as art form but want we should start doing is stop expecting Games look so gosh dang pretty. Thank goodness for the Indy circuit may the rest of the industry one day realize that nobody cares that much about graphics.

This thread will keep coming back until the end of time won't it... Okay here is one Battle Before Dawn is my unironically one of my favorite map is the series and Blazing Sword/Blade. Sov/Gaiden's Map design is at least as good as Shadow Dragon's and it was the right decision to keep the maps in the remake as the game would have stopped being Gaiden for better and worse(I believe in faithful remakes). SoV has the Better Support system in the series (though I need to sit on this one a bit more). That's is what I got for now.

+Spd -Res (-Def hurts raven build) is her best possible IV, for skills raven build you want TA3, Escape Route 3/QR2, and buff of your choice, for the Blade build you want Fury 3, G Tome Breaker 3, and buff of your choice. I just passed multiple builds by Kagero Chart to double check so yes these are the best builds.

@GuiltyLove don't feel like PMing I'm too lazy but feel free to add me if you like to have any of my horseys my Camus is out right now. My ID is in my sig and will be below again. Forgot to mention if anyone on the team Elise just want some powerful Horses to play around with you can feel free to add me but do notify me to guarantee your entry. My ID is: 4474554735

I finished Horse Emblem all expect for Xander whose skills remain uncomplete, but I have four complete horses. Cecilia +spd -atk Elise +res -def Camus neutral Leo +def -hp And I have now started Flyer Emblem Est +atk -hp (still waiting on death blow 3)

I am going team Elise as one of favorite Fates characters I am definitely going with her. Also my Elise has Wraithfull Staff 3 so she'll be a lot less annoying to field then my other healer Clarine, who I was tempted to support just to show my appreciation for the developers actually including Elibe this time, but I like Elise better as a character anyways so it's really not much of a competition. Edit: Also I will be featuring a horse this Gauntlet it will likely be Fury Vantage (Goad Cav) Camus as he doesn't strictly rely on Hone Calvary. But if you would prefer Gronnblade+ Fury Cecilia (Fort Cav), or Raurdblade+ Deathblow (Hone Cav) Leo can be put up as well. I also have Xander but he's not finished.

I'm so glad this thing is finally over my goodness next time devs please have mercy on my soul and make it less time-consuming. Anyways ended at rank 1700-ish because last night I got paranoid and wanted to make absolutely sure I stayed in 5K didn't have the willpower to want to try for 1k even though I was decently close that was a big nope for me. Got my 8 thousand feathers and used them to upgrade my +Atk -HP Brave Lance+ Est, as now I'm officially starting to build flyer emblem, as Horse Emblem is finished (i'll post my finished horses later when I have time in the projects thread).

Okay I am updating my list it's been a while since I last updated but I just haven't pulled many five stars since I last updated during the hero banner (only two more) that being said I've had quite a few upgrades so here is my updated number. So I have 17 in total 23 if you count sacrificed and merged five star units. If my luck keeps trending in the current direction my upgrades are going to well I'll outpace my pulls very soon. Though being a free to play player it's going to happen eventually.

Very few people know how to speak Latin but there still people that do. A lot of dead languages still have people who can speak them (mostly scholars and the like), they are just not used by any common population hence being dead not lost.

Okay to just clarify because you either have a oddly high opinion of Phantom Menace or a oddly low opinion of SOV. Do seriously think one the worst films to ever grace the silver screen is of comparable quality to SOV or are just saying they just fall apart similarly not that SOV story is of comparable quality. I will have some thoughts to share on your analysis later when I have some time but for now I just wanted to ask this question.

As would I. I'd love to be proven wrong and that they can be successful. If for no other reason then Extreme G can exist again They haven't published anything of merit since I think the PS2 & Gamecube generation. If they are actually serious then yes they would have the fire all the current game studios or alternatively better fund them if they simply just give them a zero budget because whoever's making games there now is either completely incompetent or is given zero budget. If they want to actually stand a chance they're going to have to pour billions (which I doubt they will) into funding games and making more studios for exclusives. On a less serious note I can't wait to see the hard-core serious reboot of Pitfall and Adventure. On a more serious note if we can get another Extreme G game i'll be happy as a clam.

More competition is never a bad thing so I sincerely wish Atari good luck... they are going to need it because this is going to be one a heck of an uphill battle. That said this is probably going to go the way the OUYA (remember that thing few people do). IE. Some people will get excited about more competition in the industry and then everyone forgets about it.

SoV's Plot is at worst mediocre and has in total one stupid moment (which is far less than most FE's can claim to have) three if you're being really nitpicky, that people have blown out of proportion and if you can handle FE 8 you can handle it. I think it's actually pretty good especially by FE standards and one the best FE has had in years even if that's not saying much. The voice acting and presentation really put its plot well above other FE games. The gameplay is very different though and will be divisive if your adverse to change and don't really want something unique gameplay wise then I would recommend against it. But the story should be the least of your concerns unless you're someone that hates Erika's route with a burning passion.

Personally I think it will be Gen 8 or a Gen 1/2 Reboot/Reimagining (not a remake of Gen 1:) considing this is the first ever Console Mainline Pokémon game I think the idea of the reboot is very likely as Gen 1/2 remains the most well know Pokémon and it would increase sales among older audiences especially if the game in question is very ambitious. I personally want Gen 8 but I think the Reboot is most likel,y though I am cool either. I think a Gen 4 remake is VERY unlikely, this the FIRST ever console Pokémon game that is a BIG deal they wouldn't make the first ever Pokémon game on consoles a Gen 4 remake.

I just want to point out that Microsoft actually cares a hilarious amount about the Asian market even though they have zero foothill there and never can get a foothold there, but they keep trying bless their hearts. Even though older console have sold horribly there tkeep shipping there they keep attempting to sell there and they're still not giving up for whatever reason. Heck in the 360 generation they even got themselves two exclusive JRPGs just to try to sell more and it didn't do anything for them Japan just hate Microsoft for whatever reason it's kind of hilarious. Even this generation they tried with things like scalebound (before canceling it), and Recore. The fact that Microsoft hasn't withdraw sales of Xbox in Japan is a testament to their dedication to not completely give up even though they should buy all accounts.

Just for this year here's my list, this is not my list of every game I could play just my short backlog list of games I'm planning on. Games I've beaten this year My current backlog Games I plan to buy this year

Took me a while but I got all three I couldn't just cheese it with my normal horse emblem team that I had to specialize it for spur horse emblem (which I can also play). Anyways my team was Ruby Sword, Fury 2, WOM 2, Hone Atk 3 Olivia. Leo with Raoudblade+, Death Blow 3, Ward Cav. Camus Fury 2 ( almost have enough SP for fury 3), Vantage 3, Goad Cav. Cecilia (this is the big change I had to switch her Raven build) Gronnraven+ TA3 G Tome Breaker 3, Fort Cav (there cause I was too lazy to remove it but it will doesn't do anything when they're constantly panicking you). yeah my strategy was so specific to my SI tso I don't think it will help anyone, but I'll give some pointers. First bring a dancer Olivia literally is the only reason I passed this also it would be good if you give them wings of mercy they will need it to get around. Olivia is also preferred in my opinion as she can actually tank Legion. If you want to play Horse Emblem make sure you do it by spur not by the normal buff there's too much panic here you'll get screwed. Legion is stupidly fast and powerful I highly recommend a powerful red mage or Kagero for this map. I agree green mage can also be helpful at taking out all the blue mages.

Yes I am punished for stopping grinding I will lose my feather tier if I stop playing! I am compelled to play by the prospect of more feathers I want the feathers badly enough that I'm playing well past the point it stopped being fun. While this mode is not too hard it is hard to get consistent perfect scores with any team which is something I can do with this team. Because I can get perfect scores I continue using this team because it's obviously the best team for this mode and I want that high score so I keep doing it even though it's not fun. I have tried doing other teams but they can't consistently get A in speed which boosts your score considerably. Really if I could play this mode and get a perfect score without a bonus unit I could've done a lot more different teams as it is now I must feature one deadweight (in this case 4* Nowi) and this is the only team that works well with the deadweight hanging off it. I'm after the feathers I already got the Quicken Pulse seal what I'm trying to do is keep my feather tier which requires me to spend all my Stamina every day to stay afloat. If I keep using this team I might even be able to edge myself into a higher feather tier (currently in the second highest rank 1590) because I can get perfect scores with decent consistency with this one build and only this build (Cecilia, Elise, Ursula/Camus, Nowi). But frankly you're probably right I could maybe keep my current feather tier and play less efficiently, but I'm paranoid that I won't if I don't get the absolute best scores. I understand what your both saying that I am making this for this not fun for myself but my need to be competitive and play in the most efficient way possible is killing me right now and the game is rewarding me for playing it in this way. The game mode should be more inherently fun and require less time at the player (this is my biggest problem it's just too time consuming) even when you're trying to play to win instead it's designed in a way that's insanely repetitive for those that want to be competitive and requires really long play sessions more than the game has ever previously required.

I wish this event was shorter my problem with it is that I feel compelled the play it to keep my feather tier. I am so bored of this mode everything else in heroes is not even close to as time-consuming as even one round of this mode. It was fun for the like first two or three days, and now I'm so bored that prospect of having to do this for eight more days is murdering me. My problem is it's compelling me to play way passed the point that it stopped being fun and doing that seven tiered maps over and over and over and over and over is driving me insane it's so long and drawn out is an endurance match, but if I want to keep my tier have to play it, I'm so sick of it. You can complete this event a proximally five times per Stamina recharge considering it refills about 2.5-3 times per day that is about 105 (35 maps per fill) maps a day you have to play just to stay competitive. My other problem is that it encourages you Just use the same unit build over and over and over again my Cecilia has over 3000 SP now any other team build I use is suboptimal and will lower my speed score so I have to do this team and keep putting SP on to someone who doesn't need it (she also capped HM forever ago too). Variety is the spice of life and there's no variety in this mode, just occasional bull crap.

I used to be a large part of the Halo Forge community during the latter half of 3 and Reach (where I helped with community matchmaking). So I frequented Bungie.net Private Forums like Bluepoint and Forever Forgers (all these club are now dead), XForgery (dead), Satyos on Halo Charts (dead), Reaching Perfect (this is one guy's personal blog it's forums are dead), and Forgehub (only living one now, 343 kind of murdered the existing Forge community there's new ones existing around 5 but they murdered a lot of the old guard). I was mostly on bungie.net but I was everywhere, these day I only occasionally pop by Forgehub just to see how the community doing these days. Other than that I'm only here.

Have you even looked at the game it looks like Zero Mission and absolutely fetching nothing like AM2R it is not inspired in anyway by the game, It is inspired even aesthetically only by Zero Mission. The idea probably come from hey people like Zero Mission why don't we do that for Metroid 2 it deserves a official remake, while not being aware of AM2R.

Not really they can't rip off a game they made in the first place and this remake was very very different to AM2R. The fact that fans were remaking it might've set them off that fans want a remake of that's a possibility but this is not a rip off that's a very stupid thing to call it.

It is only 100$ more and game run better and have more constant framerates something that way better then 4K visuals anyways. You may not have a 4K tv now but may have one later so it's a better investment for the future and you regret buying a normal PS4 later.

I'll echo a lot of the sentiments here and just add that you should get a PS4 Pro not the base model a lot of your games will just run better on that console thanks to boost mode, it's worth the hundred dollars more. While it is not worth it for people who already own a PS4, those who have not bought one yet absolutely should go for the Pro. Another option is to build a rig and go PC gaming, but looking at your interests I wouldn't recommend that as if you want to play Persona or other JRPGs they don't always come to PC. Fire Emblem has already been confirmed for the Switch so if you're like me you'll have to get one eventually but Nintendo Console's are more like additives they should be owned in addition to a PlayStation or a PC (or own all three in my case lol though my PC is not the most powerful thing, but it can run most things), so I recommend PlayStation first and get a Switch when it has the thing you want on it.

As the now famous quote goes "Inafune is a business man not a creator". He is falsely attributed to being the core creator of Mega Man when he is not, he is mainly just the Character Designer, he really isn't comparable to Iga. People give this man way too much credit and Mighty Number 9 was proof of that. Megaman can abosolutely exist without him. The only thing stopping it from existing is Capcom's own willingness to do it. Source: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keiji_Inafune
