Septagon / Re: i think there should be a new poll on moderation style
« on: July 12, 2015, 08:53:36 PM »
A poll is fine, I only wish there was more community events going on(not counting game nights, I mean other types.)
What sort of events do you mean, then?

Like, the Anarchy threads or something like them, maybe a contest, just something other than "game night"(which are fun! Don't think that I don't like them, just wanna see more variety.)

What a great man....lost.
Iwata, you will be missed.

Hopefully the man who takes his place can even begin to live up to him.

I have been wondering this all day, I didn't see anything from google so anyone have any idea what the fate of the show is?

Yeah, I was waiting for it to show up on E3...nothing, guess it was replaced by Nightfall.

« on: July 12, 2015, 03:32:11 PM »
Gameplay sucks.
Story isn't good post-Act 1.
Padded to the brim with crappy MMO quests to make it longer.

The world building was better than Origins.
The characters were decent. The companion banter was pretty good.

6/10 at best
Origins is still the best DA game.

Origins was the best, but those dragon fights doe, epic battles to the end.

I'm okay with this

EDIT: It would be very difficult to explain though...
tehehe

Imagine explaining to your family that you brought a digimon to dinner? Especially one with an interesting reputation on the internet? The ideas they would get.
I'm still okay with it though.

Gaming / My Dragon Age Inquisition Review.
« on: July 12, 2015, 01:17:07 PM »
WARNING! MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD.

So I asked what people think of it quite while back, so now i'll be giving my full review.

I haven't seen all of what Inquisition offers, but I have 60-70 hours packed into the game before I beat it, so I have experienced a lot. Now let's begin.

Graphics: Wanted to get this one out of the way first.
On my Xbox One, it looks absolutely amazing, maybe not as great as some games on X1, but beautiful nonetheless. I did not get why everything had to be so shiny though, I got used to it later on so it didn't bother me too much though.

Story: This'll be a big one.
So the game opens up on the main menu with the Conclave, a meeting meant to bring the Rebel Mages and Templars to an agreement, ending the war. However when you start a new game you see the Conclave blown to bits, which is where this begins.
So you start off in the Fade, after you create your character you are running away from demon spiders, then a mysterious green lady holds out her hand to save you, once you grab her hand you get teleported out of a Fade Rift with a glowing mark on your hand.

So you play as the "Herald of Andraste" or "The Inquisitor" throughout the whole game. Fighting against the forces of Corypheous. The whole story is kinda....average, nothing too unique or special happens that keeps you on the edge of your seat, sure some things are quite interesting. I really want to learn more about Flemeth and Solace after this game. The Characters are....good and bad, they are all unique to eachother, but you have really seen all of the characters in a game, book or movie before. Each of the stories between them have something interesting, but again, we've seen them all before. I only liked Blackwall and Iron Bull's companion quest out of them all.
Another thing I didn't like, Corypheous is supposed to be this all powerful being, who has the power of an Archdemon and armies of demons and Venatori behind him, but you spend half the game just kicking his ass, he literally becomes desperate by the end of the game, doing absolutely anything to beat you, which he loses at as well.
Then there is the ending, uuuuuuuugh the ending. All this buildup and this?! If you were hoping for a huge battle, his forces against yours, you'll be dissapointed to see that barely any of your choices throughout the game affect the ending. I wanted to see the Bull's Chargers going straight into the fray killing demons, I wanted to see the Templars and Grey Wardens fight side by said against abominations. I got none of that. While the slideshow ending with Morrigan Narration did make it a little better, I was very dissapointed to see how, again, you just kick Corypheous' ass with barely any risk.

Gameplay: So gameplay wise, this game is good and bad, battles can be interesting and fun, but the strategy that went into previous games isn't here. One glance at the tactics screen shows that, and that one mode in battle was basically useless, I used it twice in my whole playthrough, TWICE.
That doesn't mean the battles are bad, they are a lot of fun and there is still some strategy put into it. I also highly suggest trying Knight Enchanter if you're a mage, the battles as a Knight Enchanter are great, and you are basically unstoppable.
One thing I need to mention is how the game starts you off though, in previous games you started with two or three people to control, wasn't too difficult to get used to, then later one you get four once you get used to the tactics and roles you can make the characters play. In Inquisition, you get about 15 minutes of 2 man team action before you are thrusted in with 4 people in your group. Then you get to the Hinterlands about 30 mins later, and you are completely overehelmed by this HUGE map, the devs have actually said The Hinterlands is bigger than all of DA:O I believe. That is an intimidating thing to know, now you have to figure out where to go and what to do, before you know it you are lost and just trying to figure out where you are. The MMO style really didn't work with the game IMO.
However, almost all dungeons I have found don't need to load into, instead just loaded in with the whole map. A huge plus IMO.
Just another gripe is how most conversations you have are not in cutscenes, however I give it a pass since this game is huge and all story/companion quests have cutscenes.

Overall, I give this game a 7/10, even with it's issues it's a really fun game, with so much to do and great battles to fight(Dragons anyone?)
This is definitely a game to play if it goes for sale, but make sure you have the time to play this huge game.

Gaming / Re: Halo 5 Vidoc
« on: July 11, 2015, 02:59:55 PM »
The IQ for this game is god awful
Footage of a game that still has 4~ months development time left isn't looking like a finished product? Total shocker.

That being said there are still things you don't put into a vidoc or trailer, like your elite continuously running into a box.
Obviously not in a trailer, but in a vidoc showing development of the game, who cares?

The intent was to show off a working segment of the game and they had an element that obviously wasn't working. The game also doesn't have 4 months of dev time left. It's more like 2 at best.
Games usually go gold roughly around 4 weeks before launch, so going by that it'd be a little less than 3 months, which is still quite a lot of time.

It's kinda dumb to judge IQ on a youtube video of all things, especially for footage of a game in an unfinished state.

I was talking specifically about the broken path finding. It's in there fore about 3 seconds and could have easily been cut without sacrificing anything important in the vidoc. At this point the studio should be entering bug squashing mode.

It's possible this could be simply be old and outdated footage, but if this is the case it makes it even more imperative to remove a clip that in no way resembles the final product. Then again, 343i doesn't always make the best decisions and it's possible that they just didn't care.
talk about getting bent out of shape over such a non-issue

Only I'm not and I'm just pointing out a flaw.

While showing a glitch isn't preferred, at least it's a small glitch that will get a laugh in instead of a game breaking one. All games have glitches.

« on: July 11, 2015, 12:31:36 PM »
I was thinking of adopting a Lab a while back, they are really cool dogs. But I can't handle hyper dogs.
Well I mean every dog breed is going to have energy and need exercise. I don't really think of labs as any more hyper than other breeds. They mostly just want to play fetch and go for walks. Super friendly, sociable, and trainable for the most part tho. Good family pet.

Yeah, Labs are AMAZING family dogs, however if you have EVER owned a Mastiff, you know that they only want to play for about their first year of life, the rest they want to cuddle and chill.
While a dog like a Yorkie will be tired for 2 seconds before wanting to play more.

Only ever owned two labs and later a great dane.
Labrador is definitely one of the best breeds out there.

Had a friend with a Shiba Inu. It was pretty adorable and smart. Decent smaller dog. Tho that howl they do would get annoying.

Jak and Daxter (Playstation 2) - well known but not as much as Ratchet/Sly, for some reason...

Spider-man 64 (Nintendo 64/Playstation One) - possibly the best Spider-man game ever.

Star Wars: The Force Unleashed (Playstation 3/Xbox 360 version) - quite good, fit in with previous continuity fairly well, lots of costumes and content.

Extreme G (Nintendo 64) - Extremely charming racer, back in the day. IIRC, it even has a combat mode, where you can battle friends in split-screen.

Digimon Rumble Arena 2 (Playstation 2/Gamecube/Xbox) - I remember keeping my Playstation 2 on for days at a time because I didn't have a memory card. Awesome "Smash Brothers" feel with a Digimon skin to it.

I regret the day I cracked my Rumble Arena disk.

I was able to get more photos from theatre and I was able to detach the camera. I will put them in my file share for you to see.

I was too stupid to figure out how to do it, but yeah, that's from a detached view.

I am doing this all on my phone so I am doing pretty well!
