That thread is hilarious. It's unbelievable how much hate ponies get, it's ridiculous. It makes me wonder if all those people complaining about it are from /b/.

I'm tempted to quote that image...twice.

I'd like an Eastern take on the console wars, that has more than a $1000 budget, by talented developers.

Pretty cool for an official commercial.

Seriously. It really feels like they're watching the fandom. And wait, did they make up a song for that commercial?

It'd be a shooter. It wouldn't be fun.

In the Neptunia mold, it would be a generic corridor shooter with the dudebroiest character art.

Depends on what you mean by make. The song itself is a parody of California Gurls by Kate Perry, but yea thats Pinkie Pie's singing VA doing that song.

I remember some people were concerned based on his past history, he might be a troll. Recent events have perhaps proven the fear well founded.

Either way, probably best just to let him alone.

On a cheerier note, I've discovered a superb bit of fanfictionthat's really well-written, exploring some of the political machinations around Luna's banishment and return. Out-of-character tyrant Celestia makes an appearance, though she's considerably more sympathetic than her usual moustache-twirling antics, and Luna's characterization is interesting and unlike any other portrayal of her. Check it out if you're of the mind to. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EkjFX-vo0yOx1oKNLfMDacrUmgvcxIXgpANjJedaaOU/edit?hl=en_US&pli=1#

Really? I can't remember the last time I've been interested in a Western game . . .

Actually, today I was trying to name off some Western developers and couldn't think of a single one.

I still do, you troll. You're a lot more subtle than Jenga though, which is good. We're going to tolerate and love the shit out of you!

Well better get ready, some Witcher ponies are coming soon! A manly WRPG with not dating-elements, but instead whore-ploughing elements! Manly!
If I didn't suck so bad at drawing :/

Witcher? WRPG? Uhhh . . . I'll pass I think. It sounds not fun.

I completely forgot that Skullgirls is from the West though, so I guess it's been sooner than I thought. But still, if it weren't for that . . .

God, maybe it's because I work in games journalism... Bioware, Obsidian, Valve, Blizzard, Critereon, CDProjeckt, Jonathan Blow, Bay12Games... mind you, a Console Wars game with a E v W mentality would be interesting to.

Sucks for you. Witcher 2 will likely go down as one of the best RPGs of this generation.

EDIT: Reading above, I really hope you're not one of those "all Western games are dudebro shooters" people. Please dude. All four corners of the Earth have been and still do produce amazing and original titles. Taste is one thing, but cast aside ignorance and you'll see there are countless top tier Western studios producing amazing titles.

It's not that big of a deal. I was actually just drawing a blank at the time, for like five straight minutes. But, I could name a few Japanese ones with no effort, so I still consider it telling. Bioware is what I eventually ended up remembering.
Even though I have no idea what games they've made.

Nah, it's cool. I don't really like RPG's that don't have an S in the front.

And no, I realize how diverse the industry is, but my personal tastes aren't. I like fighters and SRPG's. The West makes shitty fighters, and I've never seen anything about an SRPG from the West. If I weren't a poor college student, I might be more willing to branch out, but as it stands now, my bank account can't afford to care and I'm not inclined to argue with it.

It's funny you say that about a PC game.

And you can act like you came here to talk about games, but we know you're here for ponies.

Thats cool. Dont mind me, I just have to deal with way too many people who stroke over everything Japan puts out and refuse to pay attention to any Western games because they're convinced they all shitty dudebro shooters. Meanwhile I can no longer stomach JRPGs because of their dreadful characters and stories, and mechanics that refuse to evolve (to be fair, I cant really stomach most WRPGs either these days).

I though I made it clear. Pony's suck and you're all disturbed, mentally ill people whome I hate with all the blackness of my heart.

(Fluttershy doesn't suck though)

(Also Rarity)

(And maybe Pinkie Pie and Applejack too)

(BUT THATS IT)

Did you ever play X-Com or Fallout 2? Admitedly the mainstream has moved away from sRPGs these days but they used to be big, big, big!

Hey Eatchildren - would you just say you like good games? Best route to go, in my opinion.

Yah it's cool. I've never actually played a Bioware RPG either, my library (and money!) is rather limited.

Though, I think the last JRPGs I played were FFXII, Star Ocean 3, and Xenosaga III around 2006-ish. FFXII, I got bored at the 2nd-to-last dungeon; SO3, I felt the battle system was a damn mess and couldn't understand what I was doing; and XSIII, right out of the blue, thought "fuck this shit" and never returned. Not even sure why.

Well, maybe I played FFVI Advance more recently, but...c'mon. It's FFVI. Gotta relive some memories.

Edit: Oh god that face cracks me up every time

Edit: Spike is the best pony, and he ain't even a pony!

No, are those supposed to be SRPG's? Fallout sounds like a name I've seen on a PC box.

X-Com UFO Defence (Or UFO Defence Enemy Unknown, I can't remember which right now) was a really brutally difficult tactical turn-based strategy involving using a secret organisation to defend the world against alien invasion. It was rad as shit. Fallout 1 and 2 were RPGs with a turn-based strategy fighting element that was removed and turned into a combination FPS/RPG when Bethesda turned it into Fallout 3 and New Vegas. (By the way, you are totally out of the loop if you've never heard of Fallout)

I wiki'd it. I've heard of it. It's a PC game like I thought. It doesn't seem that interesting though. The setting doesn't help. That box art looks really dark. And, maybe this is just a bad interpretation of what I read on the wiki, but it seems like combat isn't a big focus? I also didn't see anything about magic or swords, just guns. Guns are fine, but I need magic and swords, too. I'd need to see some actual gameplay, but I don't really care, and I think I've not talked about ponies long enough.

Did we ever all post our episode rankings after the final? I only remember doing it once. I should marathon and rerank sometime soon.
