Wartortle is my favorite too! Let’s be best friends.

The trailers really lowered my expectations of this film, but I went to see it last night with some friends anyway. I loved it. There’s a lot more substance to the movie than the trailers would have you believe, and while there are some jokes that don’t land much of it is genuinely clever.

I think BlurpleToyotaDishwasher nailed it - her interruptions get annoying and I personally wasn’t sure if I could trust her. I thought she might be messing up on purpose when “helping” you.

Agreed.

I’m surprised this ending affected you so much without already liking at least some of those characters. I agree that I mostly didn’t like Alphys until the ending, and never wound up particularly caring about Asgore, but I found most of the other characters extremely charming and all of them were well written.

Their…

I happen to be replaying the Lunar games right now! I actually had never played the first one before, and the whole time while playing it I kept thinking, “This is fantastic, but I can’t wait to finish it and get to Lunar 2! It was EVEN BETTER.” Now that I’m playing Lunar 2 though, I realize it was all nostalgia...…

This is a fantastic point! Were I to vote RIGHT NOW, I would probably vote Undertale. It blew my mind in many ways, and is most definitely a gamer’s game. However, I did JUST play it. In about a year, I’m not sure I’ll still feel this way. Perhaps whenever doing a best game of all time competition, entries should not…

Perhaps I’m mistaken, but aren’t the creators of both of those games the same people? Specifically, Doug TenNapel is largely the creator of both properties.

I want this both as a player and a creator. I want to share lists of levels that I love, but I also want people to be able to experience a series of my levels in order.

Here’s a list of coop games in no particular order that I love to play with my girlfriend:

Rocket League. There’s just no reason to NOT play it.

I’ve also been playing Guild of Dungeoneering lately when my friends aren’t online, which I picked up after going to PAX. I’m super excited for Lovers in a Dangerous Spacetime and Mario Maker, both of which I imagine will be taking up a ton of my time this month.

If it discourages quitting successfully, great - but what happens now if I’m playing 3v3 and my two teammates quit on me (or even if one teammate quits). I have to sit and finish the game as a single person or risk a 15 minute punishment?

Honestly, if you and your teammates all forfeit then I don’t think you should be penalized. The issue is when you wind up with an incomplete team. I don’t care much if a whole team forfeits. Match making is fast. I will find another match.

They need to patch how they handle the end of a game. Right now, you have to wait a full minute to go to the next match if playing ranked, and generally have to wait that long in social if anybody doesn’t click ready. There’s also no difference between voting for a rematch or not.

No worries, thanks for answering what you could, it’s definitely helpful!

A lot of trailers from AAA games seem to heavily utilize the fact that viewers already know the franchise and how the game plays, or the genre of game the company tends to make. When you’re working with a completely new IP from a new developer, how do you get unique gameplay across to somebody who can’t yet play the…

But isn’t the idea in Shadow of Mordor that when you keep playing, your death actually happened? In the case of Batman, it just resets time. Your death never happened, so story-wise it would make no sense.

I think your points about the gameplay benefits are valid, but they’d have to find a good explanation around this…

Honestly, this game doesn’t look bad. It’s a shame Nintendo branded it as Metroid because otherwise I think people would be happy to finally get a new shooter they can play in the same room as their friends (dammit Splatoon). It’s a shame though that they don’t seem to have normal 4 player versus as well.

Also... am I…

It’s hard to get excited over Lucas since I now play Smash mostly online and find Ness’s Up-B impossible to use accurately online. Anybody else have this experience, or is my internet just garbage?

Really I think we should vote Shovel Knight though.
