So here's something I found that's interesting. Apparently someone on reddit decrypted the smash 1.06 update and founded these new sound files of victory themes.

And someone on YouTube posted a video of what the themes are.

Could this mean we might be getting Roy and Ryu as DLC?

Now that there's DLC I wouldn't be surprised!

Maybe if Roy DLC is popular enough they can remake his game!

They are doing that character poll, so it is entirely possible.

Scorched 3D - a fun free oldschool (early 2000s) downloadable game involving weapons of mass destruction, mutual annihilation, and land remodeling.

It looks a lot better than the I love you that was skylanders.

On another note, I'm super excited that a new Deus Ex game is coming out. <3

Oh yeah. My bro's real hyped for that.

I personally couldn't finish Human Revolution. Story wasn't the best, stealth got boring and guns blazing felt so meh gameplay-wise.

Okay, I got to show this. The kickstarter to Yooka-Laylee has started today, and it's already met it's goal.

I have not been so excited for a game in a long time. I put 20 pounds toward it. They seemed to have already met their stretch goals, so they're adding more goals! 1.1 million pounds is an N64 shader mode and a "GK Rap" in the credits. That's ridiculous. XP

I'm surprised they only showed stretch goals up to 1.2 million. They sure as heck can make a lot more than that.

The story was rather difficult to follow, a lot of it is retained in the e-mails and other transcendence found in the environment as opposed to being shown in cutscenes. So if you missed too much, not much insight would be there.

I loved the stealth option, it's a bit unrealistic, but it was really satisfying clearing a room without a single gun.

The inventory system meant not a lot of weapons could be carried at once, but a maxed out revolver or assault rifle is always fun.

I really enjoyed the game for its atmosphere, I really believed I was in the future if I suspended my disbelief for a bit, the art direction and music was wonderful. The -play how you want- option was very nice as well, you can even merely knock out bosses instead of straight up ending them.

I've seen a lot of excitement over this successor, there's a lot of amusing fan art with old banjo-kazooie waving to yooka-laylee setting off for adventure.

DX:HR was pretty good gameplay-wise, with the innovative convo system a highpoint, but that ending fell flat on its nose. In the original you had to execute specific actions in different parts of the final map, and had to backtrack to a previous map for one, in order to unlock each of the three endings. Here you go to a room and talking head computer lady tells you to press one of three buttons to play clips of stock footage with Adam hobby-philosophizing in voiceover. Yeah...

I give them credit where it's due, though, you had better options this time around. In the original your choices were awfully authoritarian; you and only you decide the fate of billions of people. In HR you're given a democratic option, to let the world know what backroom deals lead to their plight and make an informed decision.

But I fear all this will be retroactively negated if MD pulls an Invisible War. In that sequel they were necessarily forced to go with a linear story, so all the mutually exclusive endings of the predecessor came true in a weird mish-mash. All your choices didn't matter in the end.

I'm a bit behind everyone else on this, but I've really gotten into the game The Last Of Us recently (which I actually don't have and only have seen someone play on YouTube), and it's really making me consider getting a PS4 eventually.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Thu May 07, 2015 8:12 am

Long time no see~

So games huh? I've been playing two MMORPGs, Dragon Nest SEA and Elsword. The former is fun but demanding, the latter is a cash grab, so I guess I'll stop playing it soon.

Oh yeah, I got my 3DS last March, and Pokemon AS last month. I have a blast playing it, and breeding Treeckos before throwing them up in Wonder Trade xD Thinking of getting Smash Bros too after getting convinced by a gamer review, only when I got enough funds for it though =w=

Amazee Dayzee · Post by **Amazee Dayzee** » Mon May 11, 2015 2:46 pm

Has anybody ever played "Super Mario RPG: The Legend of the Seven Stars"? I decided to take a crack at it since i did play its sequel first when it came out (Paper Mario) and I must say that I am really impressed with it. My only complaint is that it seems too short. In a few hours I already got 3 of the stars.

I like Geno though.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Mon May 11, 2015 3:31 pm

It is a short game, but there is a lot and I mean ALOT of extra content.

Be sure to find it all after you beat it :3

Shadowstar23 · Post by **Shadowstar23** » Mon May 11, 2015 6:52 pm

So I got a HD collection disc of the first three Sly Cooper games for the PS3. I must admit I'm having a blast. The games have excellent original stories and real fun beat'em up scenarios. If any has a PS3, I highly recommend you get it. Currently on episode 2 of the second game.

Got to remember to get the fourth game before they stop selling it.

Post by **Sleet** » Wed May 13, 2015 11:37 pm

I played it! My friend from HP! (known as Psykeout if anyone remembers the name) actually got it for me for Christmas. It was really good, but I couldn't have helped but miss many of the features Paper Mario improved with. Paper Mario is the better game in my opinion.

Heck, Paper Mario is my favorite ever!

you know, call me weird in taste, bu i have been a Player of "COMMAND & CONQUER" for years now. i just recently picked up the complete anniversary pack with all the games in current format, so that means i can play the original C&C from the 1900's on my new laptop. its so much fun

I think i'm close to done with Monster Hunter 4:U. But after 400 hours, I shouldn't be shocked.

Tropico 5 and Monster Hunter 4:U are still the primary things that I'm actively playing. Though I only really play MonHun on weekends.

GameCobra · Post by **GameCobra** » Sun May 31, 2015 7:14 pm

Still bummed that Silent Hills got cancelled a few weeks back. it was looking like an awesome project, too.

One of the cool things, though, is this petition online to restart the project to get Kojima, Norman Reedus and Guillermo del Toro. Hopefully this scary game can be picked up and restarted by Kojima again :3

Has anyone else played Splatoon? It's a brand new Nintendo IP and it's really fun! It's kinda like Team Fortress meets Super Mario Sunshine meets Tony Hawk's Pro Skater meets Jet Grind Radio meets Portal. The visual style is absolutely amazing, and the gameplay is oddly addictive. The only downside is that the game is pretty clearly not finished; some modes and levels are waiting for DLC (which will, fortunately, be free).

Been relaxing with Watch Dogs, it feels amazing to get air borne and escape the cops in a flashy manner. The plots actually not half bad, aside from the motivations for the protagonist.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Thu Jun 04, 2015 10:18 am

Heh, I got tired with Pokemon AS. Battle Spot is a sad place to be, Wonder Trade is full of trolls and no post-game is just meh. This being the only full game I have for my 3DS, it got played less and less nowadays.

I'm looking forward for the Super Mystery Dungeon series though. Finally it goes back to the series' roots.

Until then though, I'll just watch other people play games on Youtube =w=

Splatoon looks great, but I think it's more of Nintendo's try into the online multiplayer FPS genre. Only more cutesy and inky ;p

Sure, I'm always up for a battle. At least I wouldn't feel sad losing to VGC candidates TwT

I, for one, am super hype. Only got into the Fallout games in the last few years, but I've beaten 3 and have clocked quite a few hours into New Vegas so far, and have been playing a lot of it recently. Judging purely on the graphics and location, assuming 4 is even remotely as good as the previous titles mechanically, I will enjoy the new game immensely.

Sleet wrote:Has anyone else played Splatoon?

I actually really wanna try it out. Unfortunately, I don't have a Wii-U, and I doubt I'll be getting one any time soon. So I'm likely to miss out on it unless one of my friends grabs it and I can play with them (not sure if they've got LAN/split-screen multiplayer or not).

Personally, I've been playing a lot of Fallout: New Vegas (as previously mentioned), I played a lot of 7 Days to Die and would still be playing if any of my friends actually had it, and I just grabbed the new (early access) game called ARK: Survival Evolved which is basically Rust/DayZ/7DTD/etc. but with dinosaurs. And though it has awful performance issues, it shows a ton of promise, and I'm hoping to get a good bit of mileage out of that.

Well this is amazing news to me! I love the Mystery Dungeon series, what with the near endless gameplay and the surprising attachment I develop with the 'partners' that accompany you on your journeys. So sad when you have to leave.

On a different note, I only recently found it, but Watch Dogs has a mini game where you get to pilot a SPIDER TANK! Gosh the model of the thing is amazing, you can jump around, traverse sides and the undersides of things, and blow things up, did I mention this being done with a SPIDER TANK? So cool.~

The model looks so good I can just imagine the game studio execs panicking after learning the game studio blew tons of money on a mini game. XD

I have played the Explorers of Sky game several times through and after just happening to get Mudkip and choosing Chikorita as my partner the first time, I have NEVER been able to play it otherwise. I just grew too used to those two characters. And it was only after beating the game the first time that I remembered Mudkip/Chikorita just also happened to be the combination I had in the first game.

Yeah! I remember being Charmander and my partner being Riolu; the writing was so good, I never felt so attached in the gamefreak games as opposed to these ones.

KJOokami · Post by **KJOokami** » Sun Jun 07, 2015 1:52 am

I haven't played Mystery Dungeon since the originals came out, but I sunk probably 50 hours and several play-throughs into Red Rescue Team right after it released. It was an incredibly good game, and I adore the concept. I actually kinda wish they'd kept going with the show special they put out just before the game release; I woulda watched the hell outta that series.

kurowolfe · Post by **kurowolfe** » Sun Jun 07, 2015 3:18 am

I'm just glad there's a new Mystery Dungeon game, because many people say that the first 3DS version, Gates to Infinity, kinda sucks. Too easy (no hunger) and only 5 Pokemons to choose from, the Unova starters, Pikachu and Axew. Some now say that GTI is a tech demo for the upcoming new one. It's coming out in Japan in September, and the US in winter for $50.

.... why are 3DS games soooooo expensive TwT?
