Let's Try Out Voice Chat With Splatoon 2 And The Nintendo Switch App!

Splatoon 2 - Sturgeon Shipyard Turf War Gameplay VS Chuggaaconroy! (Nintendo Switch)

Nintendo Switch Online App Impressions DISCUSSION - SplatNet 2, Voice Chat, & Problems

I'm wondering who actually thought that the entire design process of the Nintendo Online app, I thought it was kind of strange at first, but once we actually can use it, my interests in it just drop harder and harder every moment I even look at it.

checking around for some resource/texture packs for minecraft based on old games and this DOOM one seems pretty good. it's for 1.8.

ZeldaCraft 1.10.x

and then i came across thos old Sonic the Hedgehog which...that's actually a bit hard on the eyes and everything kinda blends together in a mess of lines and stuff. so...not that good. if anyone knows a better one, i'm all ears. maybe something along the lines of super mario medley if it exists.

i'm trying to avoid the really hi-res or HD ones though as those tend to lag some on my laptop.

there's Mythra's Chrono trigger but that's for 1.6.4 so it's pretty old but it looks nice.

edit: oh goody... looks like the sonic the hedgehog franchises resident Edgehog now has some competition for the title of Edge Lord: Sonic Forces OST - Theme of Infinite

Sonic Forces - Enter Infinite

Anyone got some more obscure games they've played lately? I'm a huge indie fan, been really getting into The Metronomicon and NEO Scavenger as of late. Finally getting to use my dancepad for something other than DDR.

Not indie, but I've been playing Shiren the Wanderer as of late, the Super Famicom version. Very classic Japanese roguelike. I really feel that it's one of the best 'classic' style roguelikes out there, with great production values, and some really inventive mechanics and enemy designs fused with solid pacing and a unique progression system. Possibly my favorite SNES game.

As far as Indie games go I picked up Curse of Crescent Isle DX, fun but very short (took about 90 minutes to beat) platformer that's based on the style of Doki Dokie Panic/SMB2USA and adds some neat new mechanics to it. Fun but lacking in polish. Also bought NEO Scavenger on sale recently, but yet to play it, though I've heard all manner of good things.

Doesn't that use the Mystery Dungeon format like the Pokémon Mystery Dungeon games?

Shiren is great! I haven't played it recently but I loved them when I went through the series a few years back.

NEO Scavenger is basically a hobo simulator for 90% of the gameplay, and its hardcore as hell. 65 hours in and I'm doing a lot better in my runs, but I still sometimes get screwed and end up dying a few minutes in. Lots of neat stuff though.

Yep, made by Spike/chunsoft in fact, same guys who do the PMD games. Pretty similar in terms of gameplay.

Sort of. It had a linear set of dungeons, rather than letting you take on missions and choosing which dungeon to go into. Being a roguelight, you'd go back to the first town and dungeon upon dying, and your inventory and level get reset, but story progress and warehouses are kept. Dying is expected, as well, as you need to visit the same towns several times to advance the town's internal story, unlocking new stock for shops as well as new companions to journey with.

The one I'm actually working on right now. Key differences being that status ailments are not just cured with an item, it's a game over if ANYONE dies, and the stats are based on Reality Ensues. A teenager is going to have below average physical stats and abysmal mental stats. A child will be bad enough you should probably never use them at all, and using them anyway even once locks them out of all good endings.

Maybe have the narrative change depending on the person you are playing as. One character has AvPD, so when playing as them, the narrative will be insulting toward you, second guessing everything you do, always implying it was a mistake, and outright calling you out for things that you know for a fact you are not at fault for.

man, watchdogs 2 has some expensive pixels (DLC).

Mega Pack (costume and other cosmetic stuff): $19.99
Supreme Pack: $14.99
Ultimate Pack: $19.99
Guts, Grit, and Liberty Pack: $12.99

and most individual cosmetic DLV is either $4.99 or $6.99

a number of them say "unavailable" so those could stand to be taken off the DLC menu. that's similar to something i see in cheat websites. they have pages for games but some pages don't have any info on the game at all. it's like, what's the point in even having the page up at all?

there's also a few free DLC but...actually just 1 and of course, it's cosmetic stuff. someone must've been feeling greedy. ain't no way i'd pay even $5 for some pixels. actual content that's worth the money, maybe, but not pixels that are only there for looks.

well, DLC aside, this game seems to be focused more on social media and getting followers to download the deadsec app and give you their processing power to help take down Blume. well, that's what i've seen so far anyway.

edit: eh, i'll play this more tonight once the heat passes and that giant ball of hate in the sky goes down. no point in cooking my PS4.

edit2: But can it run Doom? A brief history of installing DOOM on everything.

the fuck? you can run DOOM on a fucking ATM machine... a printer...a freaking PRINTER! granted, it looks like the graphics turned into pixelated vomit on the prnter port but still...a printer...

seriously...a watch? wtf?

3:50 ok, now that's just ridiculous.

4:30 um...what even is that device?

5:12 o_O what? lol

sounds to me like DOOM is similar to dragons. dragons being living primordial ooze which can breed with pretty much anything you throw at 'em (inanimate OR living...or maybe even undead *shudder*) and DOOM being...a universal game that can be ported to anything electronic.

classic Megaman in DOOM!

both wrong...it's just megaman and oh wow is the MMVI wily fight epic! you start off with a marathon fight against 40 different robot masters in a row then a huge 4 phase showdown with the colossal robot, Gamma, piloted by wily himself.

and now for MMVII... yep, that means Bass and Duo... i wonder what VIII will be like or, if they event went that far with this game, IX and X.

oh and beware the Mega Man Killers... wily wars... they are not easy. especially the 3rd one uh... enker > punk > what was the 3rd ones name? oh ballad?

and there's the mega man clone from the original game who fights you multiple times too.

overall, it's a good game.

oh and beware the orange devil! >.> yeah, they went and put that nightmare as the first wily boss. :/

in watchdogs 2... i am completely lost as to what i'm supposed to be doing. i think this game is entirely non-linear and the only thing i know that is plot related is that i'm supposed to be getting followers on social media. and...that's it.

the driving side quest (minigame?), the scouting thing, even the dedsec missions are all... at least there was a storyline you could follow which was linear while pretty much everything else in the game was entirely non-linear in the first game. in this games case however, it lacks even that.

if all i need to do for the plot is continue to get followers then i can just sit around repeating this driving mission where i have to drive this pot head spouting movie quotes over and over. it's tedious but it works.

the random hacker stuff where you hack peoples phones or stop them from hacking yours is now just stopping them i think. and early on i triggered a dedsec mission i haven't bothered to finish where my phone got infected with a virus. o_O a zombie virus! sometimes when listening in on other people my phone says braaains! or moans at me. if that's not a required plot related mission i might leave it unfinished as i kinda like the sound of a random zombie virus going off like that. lol

seriously though, anyone know what i'm supposed to be doing in watchdogs 2? aside from the social media follower thing i mean as that seems to work like a exp system for advancing research and unlocking new abilities.

got a bit of info on sonic mania's opening animation here

sounds like the same animator who did the intro/outro animations of sonic cd will be doing them for mania too.

and around the length of sonic 3 & knuckles...impressive. that means this game will have plenty of content to go through and explore. :)

edit: huh, looks like i've reached the end of this version of that megaman doom mod. after the fight with Duo and the 2 following wily stages is a scene that simply repeats and when you view that scene at light's lab (map select) it says unavailable.

whoever that mystery robot was, i don't recognize him from MM8 but it seems like he's the robot duo was chasing in order to destroy the evil energy in the original MM8 game. whoever he is, he's quite powerful as he drained the energy of 8 robot masters at the same time so he's no pushover.

managed to beat the sonic the hedgehog DOOM mod last night. the final boss fights are pretty good though metal...or should i say, Hyper Metal Sonic (yep, that's which model of metal was used. :)) is pretty challenging.

to hit Metal, you first need to get him near a wall then try to attack him at which point he'll zoom out of the way leaving a trail of pink after images (just like in that old sonic the hedgehog movie). once he does that you have to quickly turn, find him, then attack him while hes dazed.

as for egg-er...robotnik... lol say hello to Metal Robotnik! minus the flying. i don't think he can do that.

now, i'm left wondering several things. 1. what happens if you get all 7 chaos emeralds in this mod? super form is the obvious result to expect but maybe an extra boss or something?

2. all of those little card things with wings found throughout the lvls. what happens when you collect all of those...all in a given lvl?

and 3. is it at all possible to get the altitude needed to hit robotnik in the castle zone boss fight? maybe sonic and knuckles get different altitudes from that rotating ring thing that throws you. with tails i had to do that move where you hit him from below with your tals to hurt him because i was impossible to reach him otherwise.

overall, a good game that looks quite nice and has no real performance issues anywhere. just mind your speed is my advice as it can be tricky (especially when using sonic).

well, i went through and checked what dedsec missions i had in watchdogs 2 and there WAS a plot related mission that wasn't unlocked yet.

the requirement to unlock said plot related mission? amass millions of followers... i don't think so. off to gamefly you go. cause i don't feel like sitting around a sandbox doing minigames and other stuff until the main story just decides to begin.

i think i was upt somewhere in the 12-18k follower range...and i need millions? yeah, no, that ain't happening.

oh well, maybe this time gamefly will send me one of those 3 games sitting at the top of my queue.

that isn't an american thing. it's some stupid thing people started several years ago that stuck and now everyone does it. and it sounds incredibly stupid when you say it that way. it makes me question the literacy of whoever does that every time i here it.

you don't say "haytch-ello" do you? no! so why would you go around saying haytch when you're saying the letter "H"?

when i say the letter "A" i say it like you would with the word "way" because that's how it's pronounced. i don't go around saying "ah" or saying it like the word "at" because that's not how it's pronounced.

so, yeah, if they can't speak properly then yes. cause it makes me question their ability to speak properly every time i here them say it that way.

Because people don't say the first letter of a word separately from the rest of the word. If you're saying H by itself, aitch and haitch are both valid pronunciations.

See also zee vs. zed. Americans say zee, aussies say zed. Both are correct pronunciations of the letter Z.

you know, i think that game may still exist but under a different title. i played it for a bit once but unfortunately, to say it was mostly lacking in player population would be a bit of an understatement. :(

decent potential as a furry focused, if generic, MMORPG. the character models looked pretty good and there was a good variety of different species to choose from. i don't remember the name but the version i played might still be around.

well, it's not the one i played, i don't think, but here's a fan run server called "The Anubian War";http://www.theanubianwar.com/. that's about all you're likely to get since the offical EE game is long since dead. there's probably just some fan servers floating around so it still exists, just not in official form.

That's not what pirating means. They own the rights to the games, so they are the only ones allowed to sell "new" copies. That's exactly what they're doing.

Piracy is obtaining a "new" copy of something that you don't own the rights to.

So Splatoon 2's pretty fun. It's kinda scary how there are already level 20+s after less than a week of launch. Also once again, there's an amiibo drought. If you want to win, just pick a aero spray; New and interesting weapons aren't allowed to be fun unless they fire like a hose with your thumb on half the muzzle. People who like pixel art are going to love the new drawing system... after they sign up for a facebook/twitter they won't use ever again, draw with their index finger on the touchpad for two seconds before going "Uh uh!" and wearing out their joy-con d-pad after making a perfect rendition of Trump as a Squid. rip miiverse. I haven't even touched the co-op mode because the entrance is too spooky. Story mode is basically Splatoon 1 spread out and way better. The new character designs are fun and interesting to look at (except for Pearl who got the short end of the stick and Marina does it all) all-the-while having characters from Splatoon 1 come back in a new and memorable way. The music sort of blends in with Splatoon 1 when they brought in new music (That's mostly because they just remixed old ones with a few new ones, so you wouldn't notice). The controls are odd... Like with the Roller, if you jump you can land longer more precise hits, while giving up the widespread chaos it used to have; It's so second nature to get height before splashing whatever's in front of you, that I can barely use it. Rolling with the Dualies is fun, although challenging and not for every situation, but if someone has a fully automatic, it's almost pointless. The hitboxes can be laggy and even make Hanzo blush, but it's semi-rare for it to become a frequent issue. Connection issues are still as present as in the first game, so enjoy decimating a team of 2 snipers and question why you still live in this existential nightmare when 1 teamate leaves and you get spawn capped. Character customization is pretty neat and more will most likely come out with more in future updates, so there is no longer just an 'orange' and 'blue' Inkling design. I'd prolly rate it a Woomy/10 because actual numbers are for IGN, and people that actually played the game fully.

you can say all you want to try and defend them regarding copyright. the $ price isn't worth the loss imo.

uh...dude? you do know that one rule when it comes to ROMs, right? don't ask or talk about where they can be found...least not in public like outside of PMs... if you made a post like that in the thread about this takedown situation on EP, then your post would get a swift edit from a moderator or admin.

note: this post is the first i've made with even the initials of such a sites name.

then again, i don't really know the staffs stance opinion of that here. what with ROMs being something of a legal gray area and all. still, better safe than sorry.

sorry about that, I edited my comment to remove mention of these websites, since one of them also allow access to downloading MP3's as well...

The Doomfist update is finally out for Overwatch, well at least the PC version, I don't know when the console version gets this update. Seeing at least one Doomfist every other map should be fun for the next week...

Doom map... Holy Hell indeed. that playthrough video is THREE HOURS LONG! O_O

i just got done exploring it and tbh, i'm not sure what the proper path through it is so i think i'll watch this video for now. it's one of the "unfolding" maps.
