System Wars Lounge V.66: Happy Manly New Year Edition

Yeah its opening from the vita game but the scenes sort of give a hint to the upcoming heavens feel, they should just do a series rather than a movie since i hear heavens feel is far longer

What the ****! Alan rickman has died.

Wildly unimpressed by Undertale so far.

R.I.P Alan Rickman, loved you alot in Harry Potter.

RIP Alan Rickman.

Holy shit man I just saw it on IGN.

R.I.P professor Snape.

May he rest in peace

This scene will ALWAYS make me cry.. he done it so well and made all of us dislike his character in the movies but in the end.. he was the only one who cared *tears*

Monster Hunter Stories looks EPIC! Check out the new trailer.

Is your sig an anticipation for the upcoming PS4 neptunia game?

dat ass tho

@finalstar2007: No, goober. It's a new anime called Dimension W. It's teh awesome.

Kind of strane how they copied and pasted the hyperdimention font and style as well as the whole dimension wording lol

anyways just searched for it and it actually look interesting, i'll keep it in mind to see it sometime

@lostrib: Sigh... So many good people lost to cancer. Rest in peace Alan, you were a wonderful actor and I'm sure a great human being as well.

@finalstar2007: Snape is the true hero of the Harry Potter series.

@Bigboi500: I heard the praise and waiting for it to finish to marathon it.

Check out boku dake or its English name ERASED. One of the best premiers of this anime season.

Dude I just got through watching it. Very interesting.

I'm teetering towards nabbing it off Steam. What are your beefs with it?

Wildly unimpressed when stacked against the praise it gets? Or just in general?

I played it before it had a psychotic cheerleader squad backing it as the best thing ever.

It made me laugh and liked the characters. Two things I can rarely say about video games. It also has some dope music. Gameplay? Eh, it's alright I guess. I thought it was 10 bucks well spent and nothing more. It entertained me more than some full price games last year. But "10/10, OMG BEST GAME EVAR, BEST STORY EVER, ARRGGGHHHHH!!!!", nah, those peeps just don't like video games.

@conantheboner: Who are you and what have you done to Stoner?

Ah, I see you've met CoBo. He's me CoBro. Dudes cool. Just don't make eye contact.

@ConanTheStoner: Oh I see. His membership status and post numbers gave him away lol.

@davillain-: This is just the preliminary stage of a long-term world domination plan.

RIP Alan Rickman.

It's praise is irrelevant to me.

The game has incredibly well done characters, it's funny, the music is rad, but the playing it part is whatever. The bullet hell combat is interesting for a bit, doing the game all pacifist style hasn't exactly been all that exciting, if anything I would have enjoyed killing things more with the one time i got to use attack just to see how it works. The do conversations in Planescape run is fantastic, because it is legit intelligent, you need to pay attention to so many things to actually pass some of those segments. Undertale is more basic shit, quick check, and then react, and dodge, and we run it out until I can spare properly.

It sounded cooler to me than it ended up playing : (

I mean it's 10 bucks, I think it's different enough for a spin, plus you dug GTA 4, you'll be fine.

Yep, that about says it all man. Outside of gameplay it does some cool stuff, but the pacifist stuff, no matter how charming and witty it may be, is ultimately just too damn simple for its own good.

I still dig the game, it's just not what it's been propped up to be.

Ha!

One day bro. One day we'll be able to stand proud and say these words.

So Star Wars didn't even get a nomination for best picture. Not sure it would have deserved/won it, but it definitely should have been a top contender. Plus no mention of John Boyega, Harrison Ford, or Daisy Ridley for best actors/actress. Like okay. Also, no Creed nominations if I recall at all. So The Revenant which I'm sure is good gets like 12 and it has been out for such a short time (not even as critically acclaimed as other films). So basically... I'm salty.

I left very unimpressed with Star Wars. It felt like it didn't have a real sense of threat, like, everything was a breeze.

@Bigboi500: episode 2 just released. It's one of those anime that you enjoy so much that 20 minutes feel like five.

I hope Mad Max wins all the Oscars. All of them.

Except best actor, because really, let's have Leo finally win one already.

We're not ocelots.

Ocelots are proud creatures. They prefer to hunt alone.

Meh, Star Wars doesn't need Oscars :P The new main trio of actors will now be forever known thanks to this trilogy, and the franchise makes so much money that awards are literally just a nice "bonus" if they do happen.

The Revenant is a significantly better movie than the force awakens, the more ridiculous snub is Creed.

Man, I forgot how fun Dying Light was.

or you could just save and reload constantly.

Planescape has a smart story, it's not a smart game. The entire game ends up feeling very mechanical in passing dialogue and action checks.

Sat down to play The Phantom Pain, thinking I'd stop after 20-30 minutes. Literally had to force myself to stop three hours later.

Man, I have such confusingly mixed feelings for this game.

The only movies that got nominated for Best picture that I see possibly winning is Mad Max, Martian, and Revenant. I'd also lower it down to Mad Max and Martian, but then it becomes muddled. Mad Max is like the Phantom Pain of movies, great action and beautiful scenery, but the plot is just kind of... There. Not important at all. Martian, which I'll see tonight has beautiful cinematography and a great science fiction plot, probably light on the actual action however.

@khoofia_pika: play some more. You'll come to realise that it's a flawed masterpiece. Just imagine if Kojima had his way with this one. It would be GOTG material. I still say MGSV is worthy of GOTY nomination simply for its gameplay. It has set a new standard for sandbox stealth games and I see many future games taking inspiration from it. It's already happening with TW3 as according to rumours, Ubisoft is taking inspiration from it in world design and quests. Let's just see how well it actually does since AC series has become a mix of disappointment and sudden success. Basically Ubisoft throwing shit on the wall and seeing what sticks and just goes along with it lol.

Yep. I go back and forth from "wow, this is fucking amazing!" to "what the **** is this shit?"

Wow undertale looks like a game boy game I'm not kidding. This looks like it was developed in a weekend lol.

It better have some redeeming qualities like great gameplay and soundtrack.

Music is good, characters are good, game is funny, and it's only 10 bucks... those are the redeeming qualities to me. Gameplay isn't bad, but it's not going to define the experience.

Loving my new windows tablet. Can't wait to troll this place a lot more now. lol

Scum saving? Come on now, the only way getting around that is to not give them an option to save that way. It be like discrediting the value of losing squad members in Xcom or a Fire Emblem game because the player can be a pusswagon. Otherwise yes those conversations are absolutely well thought out. You are high.

@ConanTheStoner: so it's pretty much overhyped by most people. I see people requesting let's players on YouTube to play it all the time.

I think I'll wait for a 3DS version or a console version. No rush here.

I have a hard time believing you never save scummed in an RPG. It's one of the biggest flaws in Western RPGs, allowing you to revert choices instantly without penalty. And yeah, more RPGs should force you to stick with your choices without giving them the option to reload. Probably wouldn't work for a game like Planescape, PC games were buggy as **** back then.

XCOM and Fire Emblem is not even remotely related to this. There is a challenge to overcome in those games. Reloading a save isn't a guarantee that a mission will go perfectly. You can still lose characters a second time if you **** up. It's also a huge time commitment, so many are willing to carry on even when they lose major characters. They don't want to keep doing the same tasks over and over. Planescape is literally reloading the last 30 seconds and making a different decision on a dialogue tree. Yes, I know those conversations are well done, but the organic feel is lost when you can revert those decisions in an instant. Just because save scumming isn't justified in the story or game world doesn't mean it isn't a flaw. It's easily accessible by the player at all times. Don't be crazy.

Which one did you get?

I fucking hate wine.
