>By the time this column has been published, the final Smash special presentation should have debuted, offering some new information. But, as of my writing this, nothing has been announced. Please watch it!
>Around the same time, the new Star Wars film is going to premiere, something I’m also anxiously waiting for. I’m so excited! However, George Lucas is not directing it. He’s not even a producer. Lucasfilms, and the rights to the movies, were purchased in 2012 by Disney. This time, J.J. Abrams is directing. The reason for the buyout was “to protect Star Wars and Lucasfilms.”
>Separate from that, in an interview in the American edition of Vanity Fair, Lucas himself apparently said “you go to make a movie and all you do is get criticized. And it’s not much fun. You can’t experiment.”
>A truly serious problem….! He’s such a big name, and to hear him leave this franchise that has impassioned so many fans, a person who worked on the originals with his own hands, is incredibly sad and frustrating. Personally, George Lucas’s work is the work I would really like to see.
>However, I truly understand his feelings. You could say my body is filled with these feelings. Making something, and completing it is a huge undertaking, and there are a lot of places where fans can’t see. It’s like building a house, but people focus on a single painting that’s hung up on a wall in one room, and fixate on it, and keep listing off their complaints of that painting. These situations are very common.

>For me, a familiar example would be…in Smash, Cloud recently became a playable character. And there were people that strongly criticized that, saying “Stop adding non-Nintendo characters!” This is completely ignoring the fact that I’ve added many, many Nintendo characters to Smash. It also ignores the many fans who were overjoyed at Cloud’s addition. Looking at the big picture, I am on the receiving end of countless amounts of truly trivial statements.
>However, I think that’s okay. Different people value different things differently, and they should stay honest to that. For example, even I, as a fan (?) have my complaints with Star Wars. I honestly dislike Episode VI’s long-winded pacing and how easily the Empire Stormtroopers fall to the Ewoks. I think that the re-releases are redundant and superfluous. But, more than that, I am grateful that they showed me these various worlds, and let me enjoy them. Normally, I just don’t have the opportunity to vocalize my feelings of gratitude.
>It’s particularly easy to voice criticisms, and opinions are very strong. When people yell loudly, it also invites mob mentality and conformity. It’s easy for negative opinions to be amplified, while positive opinions are quieted. People don’t understand the circumstances and state of affairs behind development, and it’s not allowed for creators to make excuses. There are even people who feel emotionally battered and quit working.
>Some players might think “If you’re going to lose to stuff like that, maybe you shouldn’t be a creator?” But, creators are people too. It’s not that we’re ignoring the feelings of the people who play our games. But criticisms can become slander that’s focused on being an attack, and if you take those hits upfront, then it chips away at the power of production.
>>321354889
>From the beginning, I have thought “the people who don’t raise their voices are important.” I created my first game, Kirby’s Dreamland, a game you could say was designed for beginners, because beginners don’t usually raise their voices. I think that it is necessary to really look at these people, understand them, and work patiently and persevere and build on my work.
>I don’t want people who are involved in ‘creating’ things to become disheartened by criticism. Just being able to impart ‘fun’ to a lot of people is a blessing, after all.

I lost all faith after playing Brawl. Hopefully Sakurai gets sick and can't work on Smash 5.

PM is finished with the 3.6 update.
Any new changes are no longer PM.
Pls respect the original PMDT and not call it PM if you release new versions.
They could get sued if anything new for PM is released so pls change the name if nothing else.
Show
Some
Respect
Isaac is the only answer
>>321355950
Fuck them.
I'll never understand modders going into a tizzy when someone releases a mod of their work.
what went wrong?
>>321354095
stupid ear feathers
>>321354095
That slut, Rose, took Alisha's role.
Only watched a bit of footage but the world looked empty as fuck, combat looked repetitive, way too many cutscenes (that weren't even good), and the camera was really bad. Not sure if any of those things are fixed in the mid/late game.Sorey and Mikleo are a cute pair though.
I'll start.
Literally no one knows this.
Nigger I beat that game years ago.
Sky Castle/Lair Lair Lair is the best song in the game.
Also, who the fuck at Sega decided of all things to put on the cover, the second boss would do?
>games back then were harder because us 80/90s kids we le ebin hardk0ar!!
>not just to increase the length of games and sell guides to nerds because the internet is shit
they had both. shitty secrets and harder gameplay
>trying to finish castlevania 2 or la mulana without a guide
Hardware limitation and different game conception.
Try harder.
Will Ken save Christmas?
>>321353837
Ken is an ungrateful cunt and you know it
No he's an ungrateful little fag you deserves to lose his gf
>Not buying a PS4 when it's gone down to bargain bin prices and actually has games.

>>321353592

Yare yare
You're also in for only a couple games worth playing if you aren't a weeb

Oh boy, here we go.
What video game are you currently playing?
splatoon dies at the end.
Undertale is the only video game I'll be playing for years to come. It makes every other video game pale in comparison to the point where I just can't play them anymore.
I'm playing Doom for the first time.
Just bought this game and played it a little bit. When does it get good?
around when you uninstall it
When you take advantage of Steam refunds.
>>321353445
It doesn't. It's a hype game like call of booty. Just uninstall and deal with the buyer's remorse.
Is pic related good? I love dungeon crawlers, but is it as deep as Stone Soup or NetHack?
>>321353309
>Stone Soup
>Deep
Isn't that one of the most accessible and least deep roguelikes out there now? I remember hearing they patched out most of the depth.
>>321353612
Ya but is ops pic related good. I can't tell either
>>321353309
It's fun, I got some really exciting moments out of it where I survived who knows how
But it's rather imbalanced, and it gets god damn repetitive at times when you're grinding, even spamming the skip thing.
I'd say yes if you really don't have anything else to play, but it's free so you don't have anything to lose, so go for it.
Twas the night before Christmas, and things were looking bleak, as Outer Haven was out to conquer the weak.
To save Christmas, go to the end of the hall. It's full of radiation, so don't dawdle, and don't stall.
>>321353252
To save the day was the heroic Solid Snake. He will save Christmas, for Santa's sake.
You must hurry, make haste, chase tail. With Otocon at your side, you will not fail.
>>321353440
As the door opens, out comes a burst of radiation. You hate it in fact, a terrible sensation.
>>321353571
But with his chin up, and his smile bright, Snake will save Christmas, and make everything right.
This game is pretty fun /v/.
Come play it.
>Early Access
>Paying to play a F2P game
lolno
Next time post a name, dick.

Ghost in the SHell First Assault.
Picked this game up on the winter sale, I'm on episode 9 already but I'm bored to death, should I even bother to keep playing? Does it get better later on? I would try to refund it but I already have like 6 hours played.
>>321353206
Maybe MGSV isn't for you.
If you're not having fun why keep playing? Have you even played the last games?
>>321353334
I bought the game, if I can't refund it I might aswell finish it.
>Have you even played the last games?
No, didn't see a reason to.
No, MGSV is fucking shit.
The only people who like it are Asscreed loving Ubitoddlers who've never played another MGS game.
You fucked up.
Merry Xmas.
Fallout 4 made $750 million in 24 hours after launch. It sold 12 million copies within a week of launch. Its by far the best selling game of the year, Bloodborne and Witcher 3 don't come even close.
For all talk about how its shit, is there any actual incentive to not make the next Fallout the exact same way?
>>321353063
artistic unsatisfaction with the imperfections of one's own work and the desire to improve? Oh wait Bethesda doesn't have any of those qualities, never mind :^)
god bless preorders
>>321353063
Of course there is an incentive to do it differently.
They will dumb it down even more the next time around.
I'm getting this card R9 280x. Saw one for sale at 220 bucks. Is this worth it, /v/? I hear a basic 970 can beat this thing.
It's pretty good, especially for its price tag.
>>321353005
>220
I would've rather bought a used 290 with that kind of money.
I snagged a 7970, which the 280x is a rebrand of, for $110 last year.
It's still a great card for 1080p, but the 970 destroys it and was on sale for $250 a few weeks ago.I got one because of the sale.
>>321353715
Thanks. I'm just worried that these theoretical benchmarks are telling me the 970 is way better.
