Sid Meier's Civilization 5 UPick Mafia (GAME OVER)

[brassherald]

So who are we waiting on?

Kiana.

[Varsoon]

What made it awesome?

See for yourself man. It's a half-hour fyi.

Was just more of the same. Don't know why people get so overblown excited/hyped for ports, rehashes, and sequels they knew were going to happen. Then again, I've been kinda jaded when it comes to games/hype since Level5 let me down with White Knight Chronicles, Lionhead got shutdown, and Bioshock Infinite was trash.
Hope Octopath Traveller is cool.

I didn't even watch the Nintendo direct but I got this same shit from my friends: "I can't tell you, you HAVE to see for yourself"

And then it was just another fucking smash bros sequel, why even care

(Also I liked infinite don't bully)

[Gamma Emerald]

I mean it's not just Smash that I'm excited for, the splatoon content is cool, undertale and crash are coming to switch, and the 3ds line-up isn't half-bad either

[Varsoon]

I've already played Undertale and Crash, though. Wondering if the Switch flounder the same way the WiiU did; a few of cool titles around launch, some tech demos, then nothing but ports and titles with low appeal.

Infinite was a let down on every front. It had a few cool set pieces and gimmicks, I guess. I made the mistake of following the game religiously from announcement and getting it day 1. It's baffling how many steps it takes backwards in areas its predecessors succeeded well in.

OKAY SO YOU'RE ONE OF THOSE ASSHOLES
I'm sorry but I can't talk Nintendo with you ever if you're going to hold a stance like this

[Varsoon]

Ay, I liked Bayo2 and Wonderful 101. This is coming from a dude who had a WiiU for years.
I thought the WiiU had a lot of potential for asymmetrical multiplayer and unique games.
Just never really was realized. Nintendoland was really cool but nothing quite delivered on it.
Wish they would've made a D&D-esque game where the main controller was a DM and the others were players.
Or a Megaman BattleNetwork one where the main controller was your PET.
I'm glad they're making metroid games again and I'm hoping Octopath turns out well, but, yeah s'bout it.

[Gamma Emerald]

Well the way you said that made you sound like one of the Switch naysayers. It's been putting out strong titles rather consistently thus far. And the Wii U didn't start strong, that's why it failed. It took years for it to draw the attention it needed to draw at the start.

[Varsoon]

Nah, I think the Switch is cool so far, I just hope they keep making cool games for it. I'm more interested in new IPs than remasters, ports, etc. Sequels can be cool if they're good, but I usually reserve judgment until they're out. On that note, Odyssey and Breath of the Wild were really cool for being sequels.
You're right, for some reason I thought stuff like Smash4, WindWaker on WiiU, Bayo2, and Wonderful 101 were closer to its initial release.

[Varsoon]

Also, sorry for getting so off-topic with discussion here.
It's just a bit weird that the game is stalled--is it just because the IC wants a slot to catch up?

[Ranmaru]

I'm in agreement with the IC. I think we do need to have them catch up and give input so we can have a chance to read them. They need to also weigh in on the major wagons. I think besides that, we are ready to end the day. I would think it is a good idea that we just slow down and wait for those two to speak, rather then continue posting. We already have 70 pages of content here.

[Ranmaru]

Off-topic, I'm happy for Luigi's Mansion, Wario, Mario Tennis, Nightmare Kids, Darksouls, Hyrule Warriors, and that's about it. Meh to Smash bros. Ew to Arms.

[marshy]

dude ive been thinking about getting the switch. i have a xbox one s but the only good games imo are gears 4 and and gta 5. its the same shit all the time

the switch looks cool tho. mario. zelda. mario kart. splatoon 2. i bet i could get fuckin dozens of hours with that shit. my spring break just started and i was actually thinking of buying it this weekend but am on the fence

[Varsoon]

Depends on if your wallet can stomach it, really. The Switch released with kind of absurd price points compared to the competition.
If you're G with it, no problem. If not, wait for a sale or holiday or something. Switch is probably great if you didn't own a WiiU, since a lot of the titles ported to it from WiiU are pretty good (Tropical Freeze, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart, etc).

[marshy]

yeah thats a good thought. i had considered waiting for a sale but i found one online for like $240 and amazon has title selling at around $48. from memory im not sure if things will get much lower than that but im not sure. i havent paid attention to the price points of the switch games around christmas/black friday

i agree the prices are insane. i was glad to find that i can get an adaptor that will let me play with my xbox one s controller for only like $25 tho

[Ranmaru]

Dude get it, we can play.

[brassherald]

I would buy a switch but I don't even have my television plugged in

Interesting that's it's stalled though, you'd think there'd be some attempts at counterwagoning
I don't think the ones who are unaware of Creature's scum meta are scum with him currently

That's like 20% off (iirc the consoles is 300$, individual games are 60$)

[Maestro]

Cool. I like Nintendo too. Take this to The Arcade?

HURT: peacekeeping

HURT: peacekeeping

Well, that removes stagnation.

Let's discuss this, guys.

[Dunkerdoodles]

why

[brassherald]

why

Are you asking me or Nero why?

[Shaziro]

Nero is looking for people to call him scum for that, so he can turn around and say that they're scum for calling him scum. It's dumb.
