Not saying this is what I believe, because it isn't, but what is the point of consoles that separates it from an emulator?

Soul.

Death Note spoilerz

 

 

I thought the ending to Death Note was fantastic. I can understand and somewhat agree with his motivations, but by the end of the series, Light was a dickhead who got what was coming to him. Also unlike a lot of people, I actually liked Near a lot, even if L is my favorite anime character ever.

I emulated Chrono Trigger and it was my favorite game of all time up until I found BioShock Infinite I think that soul is more found in the game itself as opposed to the hardware being used to execute the program, but that's just me

 

Also, on-topic: Franziska von Karma is the best Ace Attorney prosecutor in my mind. Deep, complex, and attractive as all get out There's also so many things left unexplored with her character that she makes writing fanfiction for a blast as well, and I speak from experience

Gray-Asexuals and Demisexuals exist. It's all part of the area between asexual and sexual. Not only that, it's part of the asexual spectrum.

Everything is better to play on a console, but I guess that's just me. It took me getting the console version of Morrowind to really appreciate the game to the max level. The platform you're playing on is a big factor in how good a game is.

"The fans rushed it!" is not a good reason to defend an unfinished movie/video game.

 

First of all, the fans have no control of the game/movie being made. Second, even if the fans DID (get the creator to) rush it, it's still the creator's fault for bowing down to peer pressure.

 

Also, the only good Toy Story movie was the first one.

There are no bad people. I learned this first hand when I was helping people raise their grades and learned that they're not bad people. They're still human beings, and everyone forgets that sometimes.

I like Pewdiepie. He's not the best youtuber that exist but he has his moments.

With the Extended Cut installed, Mass Effect 3's Synthesis ending is absolutely beautiful.

Ocarina of Time is one of the worst Legend of Zelda games.

Sonic Unleashed is one of the best Sonic games.

TF2 sucks, you spend more time waiting to respawn than actually playing.

Adventure Time is still as good as or better than the earlier seasons.

The Wii U is a really good console.

The Mysterious Mare Do Well is one of my favorite MLP episodes.

I'm fine with referring to a furry with their fursona name if they have one.

YES! I had to quit reading the manga because I couldn't stand it anymore. I thought she'd change to be more likable, but she hasn't, as far as I've read T.T

When I first watched the anime I loved her, but when you pay more attention she just comes off as obnoxious and "I'm better than you 'sluts'" (which she basically says in the actual show), really sad actually, it could've been decent. : s

 

She has some relatable movements but it all gets dragged down.

It's been quite I while since I read the manga, but I vaguely remember that she doesn't really learn from mistakes, and she's pretty mean to the people who actually do talk to her, or something like that.

 

It would've been much nicer if they made her more like an average (unpopular) person, so people (like me) could relate more...

The Nintendo Wii was actually a pretty great console. I can see what people mean that it was Nintendo's middle finger to hardcore gamers, but still, I loved games like NSMBWii, Super Mario Galaxy, Skyward Sword, Sonic Colors and others, as well as all the Virtual Console games. In fact, I'd actually go as far to say if it wasn't for all the shovelware, it would have been at least my 2nd favorite Nintendo console (next to the SNES)

 

While I do think Invader Zim is good, I wouldn't say it was one of Nickelodeon's best. I felt like there were episodes where I feel it's humor went way too.. far and got too disturbing for my liking.

 

Frozen is the "Call of Duty" of movies. Everyone says it's incredibly overrated, yet that's what like 4/5th of the internet says.. ._.

 

I played Fighting is Magic.. and I hated it.

 

People are getting too concerned over what ever the hell that dress color is.

Most definitely. It was foolish of me to think I had found an exception with my old relationship....how wrong I was -_-

I don't see how the Wii was "Nintendo's Middle finger to hardcore gamers" personally. I mean, between the Metroid Prime Trilogy, Xenoblade, Sin and Punishment 2, among others, I'd say Nintendo's games(as well as tons of severly overlooked 3rd party) did a good job at appealing to sure gamers as well as the Nintendo faithful and casual gamers, it's not their fault that people deliberately ignored all the good games. Really, motion controls is probably the only real turn-off I can think of

- I don't think rap is a bad genre; there is actually quite a lot of good rap.

- I don't think all modern music is bad. If you would actually look past stuff on popular radio stations (i.e. top one-hundred, etc.) and explore a bit, you'd find that there are plenty of talented musicians out there, and it's unfair that people keep disregarding them and praise how older music is so much better.

- I think the Walking Dead graphic novel is the best medium of the franchise.

- You shouldn't judge a song based on what genre it is; listen to it first and see if you like it.

- Super Mario Galaxy is my favorite Mario game.

- Graphics do matter in a game; some games would be no where near as good if they didn't have the quality graphics they had.

- Call of Duty is a good game series for the most part.

- I like all of the introductory cases in the Ace Attorney series except for the one in Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney.

- I hated Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy.

You do not have the right to say a song is bad, you only have the right to say you don't like it.

Blue Moon?! Hate a Professor Layton game?!

What they usually mean by that was that Nintendo, in the early days, Nintendo kind of.. marketed the Wii towards the casual games and the "family." There were hardcore games, like you said, but the Wii's launch, there wasn't really much more than stuff like Wii Sports. But still, you got a point.

Time for another one! The Atari 7800 was a great console, and probably Atari's best. It's just that it's games were outdated compared to what the NES and Sega Master System were doing. (This isn't really unpopular in terms of that it's hated, but moreso just overlooked compared to.. y'know.)

 

The only game worth playing on any Xbox consoles for me is the Halo series. (Although the first Xbox still usually had the best multiplats.)

[Blue Moon 6,341]

Blue Moon?! Hate a Professor Layton game?!

Perfect use of that GIF.

 

Anyway, here's my rant of the game from another thread:

 

 

This game was such a disappointment for me. It was the last game in my favorite series of all time, so I had a pretty high expectation for it, but I think I would have hated it anyway if I had normal expectations.

 

The only thing I like about this game is the graphics and the music, and good graphics aren't that important for a text/story oriented game, and the music in this series has always been good. Now for the things I dislike. First off, the puzzles. I feel like I'm doing work here. A lot of the puzzles in this game are overcomplicated, and don't have a clever solution like past puzzles in the series had. They weren't fun, and felt too much like work. It also doesn't help that the 3DS has annoying controls for the puzzle segments that came about to preserve the 3D effect which really doesn't add much in puzzles. You have to constantly switch between views of the instructions and the actual puzzle, while the older games for the DS allowed you to view the instructions and work on the actual puzzle simultaneously.

 

But now for my major problem with the game: the plot. While the other games have had an interesting mystery styled plot where you try to figure out supposedly supernatural/impossible elements of a town/city and when you eventually find out the truth; it tends to be even crazier as it actually seems plausible.

 

Now in this game, there is no plot like that. You instead travel over the world to various locales where you have to solve a shallow and boring mystery to get a piece of some stone. None of the places you travel are interesting and have absolutely no effect or relation to anything that's happens in this game or has happened in previous games. And this process of collecting stones takes up the majority of the game. Yup, the majority of this game is pretty much filler, and then it goes to the climax and resolution.

 

I have problems with those as well. A lot of twists and plot points occur, and they are all unexpected, but not in a good way. They feel like a twist was put in just for the sake of having a twist. Not to mention that the twists themselves are all very generic. You have long lost brother, long lost father, person you thought was a friend betraying you, and that's not your real name. And none of them have any real effect on the story and are just there.

 

There's also this brief moment that I had a problem with that dealt with a certain character. Now, this character has a hatred against the main antagonist and his organization, and this was a plot point present in the previous game as well. My problem with this though is the character's motivations. He mentions that the organization killed his daughter once in the game, but this is never mentioned or dealt with ever again. It feels very out-of-place and seems like a lazy way to give the character a motive for his actions. His daughter would have probably made for a much more interesting and emotional plot than the one present in the game.

 

Speaking of this game's plot, I have problems with this too. There are a bunch of plot holes and it lacks any emotional payoff for the series. For example, at the end, some characters supposedly "sacrifice" themselves but they are revived shortly after by a girl that came from an ancient advanced civilization that this game revolves around. She just "prays" to her people and the character come back alive. Now, this makes the civilization some kind of god as they can bring back the dead. Were they even dead in the first place? This feels very out of place in the Layton series which has primarily used realistic solutions.

 

Finally, the emotional payoff. Every game prior to this game has had some what of a emotional ending, whether it be sad, happy, or bittersweet; it was always there and one of my favorites parts of this series. In this game, it decides to focus its emotional core on characters the game never got the player attached to meaning that I couldn't care less about said character by the time game ended and didn't feel anything.
