I was in the usual ultra-sleepy groggy mood until I saw the trailer and now I'm wide awake from hype.

No way Scyther evolves into a Dragonite! It's the strongest of the 3 Dragon Pokemon in the game dude.

It did, actually.

I love this game! Who would have thought of something as cool as a Scyther, or a Mewtwo? And that part in Lavender Town where you encounter a ghost of a Marowak? Shit be cray!

Damnit other things in my life keeping me from Pokemon!

Commentary as of 10/21/2013, 5:00 PM:
+SO MUCH FASTER. It didn't take forever for things to start getting fun, running was available from the start, and you get skates at the first gym
+Dem 3D models, for both Pokemon and special trainers
+Dem animations. LOOK AT MAGIKARP
+Nice mix of old Pokemon with the new ones
+I can already see where the themes are going, and I like them
-Horde Battles suck without multi-target moves (of which I have none so far)

I enjoy when pretty girls "shake salt on their mouths"

Loved it in theaters. Really need to pick it up on Blu-Ray. If only I had a 3D player. This is one of the only films I wanted to see in 3D.

I kinda think there's enough dislike and outright hate to balance whatever hype it gets. It's just that the people who liked the film really wanted to share that feeling they got :\

Thanks for the recs guys. Just got back from camping and picked up Pokemon Y (owe friends money though lol)

One sec

You mean buying it? They could just borrow a friend's copy or somethin' *shrug*

But challenge should be intentional, not the result of bad design.

And Sarah Silverman is Vanellope
And Jane Lynch is Calhoun
And Jack McBrayer is Felix

Pretty much how I feel about people who hate all the new Pokemon and won't even try the games.

...

Yes. It. Does.

LOOK AT THAT PHRASE ABOVE THE GAME TITLE

The whole story of Solid Snake being a highly-trained agent of espionage being executed well depends on the player being able to do just that: espionage. This means sneaking around, avoiding enemies, keeping suspicions of your presence non-existent, and hiding in cardboard boxes.

Could you play MGS4 like a shooter? Sure. Are you missing the point of Solid Snake's character? Entirely. He's not meant to be another bald-headed, buff white guy with more muscle than personality (granted there are some sequences where stealth is no longer an option.) He's a tortured man who's job is to be a ghost, and as good as the cutscenes and Codec calls are at conveying this, it's the gameplay of crawling on your belly in a warzone while you're outnumbered and outgunned, using your patience and advantage of stealth, that REALLY sells this.

Try telling me Metal Gear Solid would work as a strong narrative with the story it has if you played the game by punching people with a God Fist or using your own magical hair as a weapon, and then say gameplay has no correlation with story.

Or, just look at the Psycho Mantis fight.

I don't quite remember how I did, since I played it around the time the game came out.

But...just look at this and tell me it wasn't obvious

HINT: ITS THE GUY WITH THE GUN AND THE SHADOWS ALL AROUND HIM

Can this please stop being a reason people give for doing things? I'm fine with your other explanation, but this part is pointless. No shit you can.

NINJA'D

Anyway, the difference to me for how much I enjoyed Heavy Rain and The Walking Dead is that, in the second game, I was never sure what was going to happen next, and the characters actually felt natural to me, as well as there being a real sense of urgency in the more intense sequences, while in the the first, I could figure out who the Origami killer was within around an hour, killing off most of the suspense and mystery, and too many of the quick-time events were just completely unnecessary. It's hard to describe, but Heavy Rain felt too artificial and fell apart around the finale.

If you don't care...why make a thread with no details that we don't already know of?

Don't see why not. I've just never had a 3DS...
