*dusts off a space, puts topic*

[ganonfloyd]

In an effort to get me to get back here daily/more often, here's a game topic! Its also a way to keep me somewhat sane while the work and class combo wears away at me.

SFV came out and I've only gotten a chance to play it once but I dig the feel. I'm not sure if I like it more than IV yet from a mechanics perspective, but I dig the V-Trigger and actions a lot. I'm excited to play more of it. Its also served as a way to show me that I'm pretty much divorced from what's considered good or important in a game anymore because the lack of modes for full price thing didn't bother me in the slightest. I get why people are mad and I'm not even saying they're wrong for feeling like its not worth the money, I just don't even remotely care.

I completed the Souls and Pals playthrough recently to prepare for Dark Souls III, including lots of thrilling co-op with Youef and Random where they helped me beat the game with my hilariously shitty build. I look forward to when the game drops in Japan so I can scour every possible piece of boss information since I can't wait much longer. That's been about it console wise. Its been all handheld and a little old PC games. I'm at the very end of Paper Jam, and while its got a bit of unneeded padding I dug it a lot, mostly on the strength of its battle system and boss fights. Conquest is good so far. All of these games are basically just holding me over until the release of an old ass Game Boy game that has me unreasonably excited and for SMT IV Final to not come out.

stay tuned for more observations about beating my friend in sfv and waxing nostalgic about pokemon red

there's a SFV tournament on my birthday and i haven't even touched it yet, who would you recommend for me to play

[ganonfloyd]

depends on playstyle i guess but karin is my favorite so far

i see you as a f.a.n.g. guy and i am unable to articulate why

[Random]

I finally recruited you in XCOM 2. You're going to be my backup Psi Op. I think it suits you.

[ganonfloyd]

This pleases me.

I'm a robot guy apparently in my other friend's playthrough so that's cool too.

I want XCOM 2.

[Random]

Youef is my backup medic. Blaze is one of my top grenadiers and ILS is my top sniper.

It's a fun game, you should play it.

dude's voiced by the narrator from fist of the north star on the japanese side, so that's a plus

On the topic of f.a.n.g. After Juri in SFIV...does it strike anybody else that both of these villains are Korean?

[Maniac]

is he korean? always thought he was supposed to be chinese.

man, i noticed how sketchy juri was when she debuted. lots of people were going "oh man, first korean character in SFV" and I could only think "she's an insane sadomasochist and she's korean. yeah, real cute, capcom."

[ganonfloyd]

I haven't played with him yet but I do think he's supposed to be Chinese. He's listed as Unknown in terms of birthplace though so who knows.

after being blessed for years with cool koreans in kof juri is laughable at best

Youef is my backup medic. Blaze is one of my top grenadiers and ILS is my top sniper.

It's a fun game, you should play it.

I have every intention to if a console version ever drops/my friend doesn't mind me living in his apartment for a week.

[ganonfloyd]

*patiently waits for japanese release so i can spoil every boss for myself*

[ganonfloyd]

now that's a pokemon duology for me

[ganonfloyd]

hasn't been confirmed that its NOT pokemon dayman vs nightman so i'm holding out hope

Current roster of mains for SF is Karin, Bison, Cammy and Charlie. I want to see Bison is my best, but I've honestly only played my friend and a few stray online battles with Karin, so it might just be my friend is really bad and predicting which Bison move I'm going to do and he gets flustered.

in other news i'm stumbling through conquest like an idiot who's bad at fire emblem games because that may be what i am, chapter 23 stonewalled me for the entire duration of my day today

[ganonfloyd]

Going directly from the endgame of Conquest to the beginning of Birthright sure did give me whiplash.

MORE IMPORTANTLY Red Version is out on 3DS and I am using a team of Pokemon assigned to me from a friend. I will never not love this game. Only three of the six have been assembled but so far Dodrio is the star and tearing things to shreds. Primeape ain't bad but misses all the goddamn time and Graveller needs to be traded to unlock true radness.

[Maniac]

oh hey you've already beaten conquest

*still like, only half-way through the game (lol)*
