  • What games have you been playing recently?

    I just played the Indivisible Prototype on the PS4. I actually really enjoyed the mechanics of the game and the artstyle is EXTREMELY satisfying, in my opinion. It's a platforming, 2-D side-scroller reminiscent of Dust: An Elysian Tail. It's still in the making, and this was only a demo to show it off. I see much more promise coming from this game in the future.

  • What does your username mean?

    @CM30 I thought your name was a play on C3P0 XD wooops!

    Aphelion comes from the word aphelion, meaning:

    apoapsis in solar orbit; the point in the orbit of a planet or comet that is at the greatest distance from the sun

    It's also the opposite of a perihelion. I started using the name during World of Warcraft when I had a Draenei Shaman. I roleplayed that she was half-Broken, half regular Draenei and unable to access her mother's connection to the Light because of her father being Broken. Yup... XD

  • I hate Wind Waker.

    ^ Pretty much if they had done what you're talking about in your post, I think I would've liked the game better. Sea-bed exploration via iron boots would've been amazing, and adding random land masses and caves to explore in the ocean would've been fun. I like to feel more connected to the game I'm playing. The empty space and artificial (fake feeling, off putting... hard to find the right word for it) design of a lot of the places I went to made me kind of lose interest and put down the game.

    Is Xenoblade really that good? I've heard people say it's amazing, but I haven't seen any footage of it nor played it myself.

    In my opinion, it's an amazing game, but it also falls victim to the usual RPG tropes of grinding and lots of side quests (which I personally enjoy). My boyfriend couldn't handle the voice acting in it, but I love the voice acting, so there's that to consider as well if you ever consider watching/playing it. I like the idea of the story and the combat appeals to me. You see monsters on the field and then they're either aggressive or nonaggressive. You can initiate combat with the nonaggressive mobs by targeting them and pressing X. It doesn't load you into a new screen and you still play on the field. The combat has positional skills that allow you to maximize your damage if done correctly, and you're allowed to switch between your party members but they have AI if you'd rather not.

    Over all, it's a solid game and worth it. I'd take a look at a reputable Let's Player (Cryaotic has played it) and decide for yourself.

    EDIT:

    Oh yeah, I forgot. I play League of Legends (LEAGUE OF RAGING) like every day with some friends x.x ugh.

  • What games have you been playing recently?

    I bounce around MMOs a lot. Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn is a staple of mine, as well as Guild Wars 2, Dragon Nest, and Granado Espada. FFXIVARR eats up a LOT of my time because of how much work is required for just about everything I'm aiming for in the game. The crafting is intense. Dragon Nest is just lulzy fun, and Granado Espada is a different sort of game that not many people I know would enjoy but is amazing regardless. Guild Wars 2 is interesting and engaging, but requires you to have a dedicated guild to do pretty much anything (and all of my guild members play FFXIVARR xD).

    As for singleplayer games, I'm playing Xenoblade Chronicles for the New 3DS and Skyrim on PC.

    Sounds bland and boring to me, the highlight has always been the competitive play, and 6gen did greatly improve on it. Sure, they could focus on the competitive side without needing to sell new games but this formula just works so they'll keep doing it and I don't mind it as much, except for ORAS's new megas that was bs.

    It's all a matter of perspective and interest. I implore them to continue their line of competitive games, but I'd like something more for the people like myself to enjoy. You can do all sorts of imaginative stories involving the Pokemon universe, given plethora of material to work with. But it's probably never coming to pass, as it would require more effort and time than Gamefreak is willing to put into it (even though they have an abundance of money, at the very least). I'll satisfy myself by creating and participating in Pokemon RPs on forums.

    (I never meant for my posts to be a "bring down the main line of Pokemon games because they're terrible RARARARA", and more of a different outlook on what could possibly be. My apologies if I offended anyone by doing so.)

  • The "Recommend me an anime" thread

    Quote from Claraviolet

    I would like to ask for recommendations.
    I am into horror and action genre.
    I have seen most of the popular anime out there like one piece, naruto, bleach, fairy tail, another...whatnot.

    So, now recommend something really good, for me guys :^o^:

    I heard that Parasyte -the maxim- was a very interesting anime. I haven't personally watched it, but it seems to fit into your categories. I'm going to assume you've also seen Attack on Titan. Another anime that might interest you is Akame ga Kill! though I heard that the ending is pretty lackluster. Magi is also pretty good, but it doesn't really fit into any sort of horror genre and the story can be disjointed at times (IMO). Deadman Wonderland might be what you're looking for as well. These are all pretty popular, I know. Most horror/shounen/action anime tend to scale on the more popular side if they're worth watching, so you might have already seen everything I listed.

    I would highly recommend Monster as a must-watch anime, but it doesn't exactly have a lot of action in it like the ones you've named. Another good mention is Madoka Magica for how delightfully screwed up it is. (to parrot other posts, Hunter x Hunter is also amazing).

    I'm talking about free-roam, open world fully 3D Pokemon roleplaying games on the PC or consoles that are based more on story and actual exploration than competitive play (as the handhelds are). Think Zelda or Skyrim-esque, except Pokemon. Lots of people have expressed an interest in playing a game like that, but they've never done it because they can keep selling the same game, revised slightly to suit the new gen at the same prices (39.99 USD + taxes, don't know what they are for you guys in other countries) + guide books should you want to get them (which are 19.99 USD + taxes usually).

    It seems rather cheap of them to never expand their horizons beyond just an overlay of their last game. What a waste of the great potential that is Pokemon, in my opinion. The stories in each game aren't different enough for the price to justify itself. I'm still a Pokemon fan, and I still buy the next games with hope that they'll do anything more innovative, but they never really do.

    (edit: With all of this in mind, I do commend them for their Pokemon Mystery Dungeon games and other offshoots)

    (Also, sorry for derailing the thread x.x)

    Quote from Kaynil

    So in short booth have become stale. :lol:

    After the anime, I decided to give a go to Totodile, hahah.
    I know I played pearl once upon a time but I forgot my starter. That's bad. I think it was Turtwig
    If i ever had the V generation I'd go for the pig... and I'd call it P-Chan. [Ranma 1/2 reference]

    I find that the video games are really just updates to an old system to add increasingly convoluted Pokemon into the mix. If they would do anything more interesting in the games, such as Pokemon 3D RPG like everyone has been wanting, I could like them more.

    At least the Pokemon movies are somewhat inspired at times. And there's always Pokemon Origins for a good watch. (n_n)

    I liked Cyndaquil as my next starter. After that it was Mudkip, Piplup, Oshawott and Froakie... I never realized just how many Water Pokemon starters I chose. Weird. Also, P-chan would be an amazing name for Tepig. :D

    I think that the games repeat themselves a lot, and have gotten stale from lack of creativity. However, some of the games are amazing for their playability (such as Crystal which introduced puzzles, and I enjoy my copy of Alpha Sapphire for all of the stuff it incorporates). I love the anime and movies for their storytelling and their ability to make my imagination soar. I love most of the movies for the way that they tell their stories, but the anime has (in my opinion) become lackluster. The first season was pretty amazing.

  • I hate Wind Waker.

    I've read most of this page of posts, and I only have one thing to say...

    At least I'm not the only one who doesn't like Wind Waker. I'm in love with the idea of Wind Waker, but the actual gameplay always made me question why I would put myself through the slow sailing and numerous, useless cut scenes.

  • Do you play mobile games often?

    I play Puzzles & Dragons and Final Fantasy Record Keeper pretty much every single day, as well as a few otome (visual novel-esque dating games aimed at girls/women) games on the side every so often. If anybody else plays them and wants to friend me, my codes are:

    Puzzles & Dragons: 322,810,341
    FFRK: uFZB

    I've also considered picking up Hearthstone on my phone, but I don't know if I should. Does anyone play it on their phone/tablet? I'm also SUPER HYPED for Pokemon Go. :D
