Super Best Friends Thread 15: Two Guys Play

If Naoto is the only "boy" Kanji exhibits attraction to, and he exhibits attraction to multiple other females throughout the course of the game, I think it's fair to say he only likes girls, and his like of Naoto is some red string of fate shit where she's The One and he just instinctively knows this despite not having all the facts.

He also blushes like crazy when Teddie tries to kiss him at the bar.

Finally, the Metal Gear fighting game!
Or maybe they are making the next J stars game, Luffy better be the grappler!

Reality: it's another Blaz Blue.... I guess I should probably try a blazblue at some point.

They're pretty good. And really not as complex as the best friends make them seem.
At least I'm able to keep up with them easily enough.
And the music is pretty fucking great.

Writing is also generally hilarious when it wants to be, and super fun for being the dumb convoluted time-story it is. Had to have like a 3 hour conversation with my bro to collectively sort out how the fuck that timeline shit works. It's really nuts, but in a fun way.

That sounds like some bullshit excuse to lie yourself into thinking that you aren't attracted to men. He was attracted to Naoto when he thought she was a guy. Meaning he was attracted to a guy. That's about the end of it.

Personally, I love Blazblue. It's been the easiest for me to learn how to play, so that helps. I have two of them on my Vita, and they play great on it.

Agrees with Croten cause this guy has got the right idea

Ok, serious question.
It's not very serious.

Does anyone actually like Junpei? I'm only about 20-odd hours in, admittedly, but he doesn't really seem to have any particularly redeeming features, and he's kind of an asshole.

He's da man! You'll see eventually. Just let it rock for now.

Which ones? I've only played VN outside my computer on my DS and 3DS. Been looking for some other ones.

Dangan ronpa mostly I haven't played much else but I like using my vita since the battery life is so great and it's more comfortable to play while laying in bed and junk

I'll give the next one a try at least, I owe Arc sys that much.

Wait for the heelturn.
I liked him in Persona 3... then I started to hate him by association with Vic Mcwhatever being revealed to me to be a giant shit bag. Then I liked him again in Ultimax because he's hilarious in it.
 
I honestly don't know how to feel about it. Like you say, the combat wasn't great, it's probably the most bullshit SMT I played. I was also meh on a lot of the characters which made it hard to really care what was happening to them (though I think the voice acting made me dislike a couple more characters than I should've). The demon auction system was pretty bad too.

I still beat the game 5 times so obviously I like it to some extent. Soundtrack is killer too.
Yeah the voice acting wasn't great, but for me I think all the build up to the setting was what did it for me. Some of the fights were bs but they were fun to play like
belder
. I haven't check if the sequel has the the auction but it's the worst.
Yeah I have no idea why Yuzu is as annoying as she is. She's not even well written either. I'm glad SMT4 had much better female, and just better overall characters in comparison.
they needed some one to push getting the fuck out at no cost so that's why she's like that
Smt4 is really pushing me off due to the heavy reuse of the law and chaos stuff. They already nailed it in 1 and 2 and got rid of it entirely in 3, so it worries me. I might play it some day.
 
Alright, I had a discussion with a friend earlier about wether Rising is canon or not. I think it is, and I don't see any reason why it wouldn't be, but he kept insisting it isn't. I think he's full of shit, but what do you think?

If you want to enjoy the story, which is a whole bunch of goofy ass fun, I'd recommend you pick up continuum shift extend on the cheap. It's got the story for the original game included for free, as well as the its own story(which is the full version of the second game story). Then you can jump right in to the craziness that is the ongoing chronophantasma shenanigans and enjoy the updated game mechanics and characters.

I'm anxious about Codename STEAM. Apparently the enemy turns are unbearably long for some people. I think I'm pulling my pre-order and transferring the money to Xenoblade Chronicles.

Then maybe pick it up on digital download if I want.

There's not even a discussion here, Rising is canon

Try hating Vic Magnogna for being a terrible voice actor instead of whatever drama i've never heard of

I hope it's canon, it probably is. But I can see why some people might not like it, since it moves the series in a direction where stealth would be pointless/impossible. Later in the timeline.

I played it a bit at pax.
It's pretty fun.

They might update it
They should just do the Bravely default mechanics for turn based games.

Techincally, it's canon, but in my head canon, it's not.

It is cannon. I can understand why someone would not like that but too bad.

I'm alright with how the law/chaos works in SMT4 because I think Jonathon and Walter are pretty good representations of the law/chaos.

It was confirmed to be canon in an interview a couple years back.

It wasn't even really a discussion, more like him saying it isn't canon, with me replying of course it is, why do you think that, with him replying because it's stupid, there's no way it's canon. I have no idea why he is so adamant about it being not canon.

He's adament because it IS stupid.
And it's still canon regardless.
Sometimes I'm glad I don't care about metal gear.
Though I'm about to play 3 so that might change fast...
Any tips, btw?
 
I was hoping googling "super canon" would give me something funny like a huge cannon with the words "SUPER CANON" under it or some dumb shit.

No, no all I got was cameras and porn of varying degrees for whatever reason.
