Existing Games / Gaming Screenshot Thread.

« on: February 24, 2018, 01:53:21 PM »

Hi all.

So having had a look through the forum and trying to find ways for myself to become a bit more active I thought I'd make a screenshot thread in which we showcase our favorites from other games and talk about them.

That and one of my favourite things to at this age is photography both in gaming and in real life.

A quick few I've took recently:

Final Fantasy XV:

Shadow of the Colossus Remake:

Assassins Creed Origins:

Megadimension Neptunia VII: Did some Image Editing for it.

So that's a few I've shown to hopefully kickstart the thread. What do you think of them and hopefully others can showcase their own screenshots from what they've been playing as well.

Site News and Feedback / Connecting RA2 Wiki with our accounts.

« on: January 03, 2016, 12:24:40 PM »

Long story short is it possible to have our Wiki accounts connected to our standard accounts here so we log in to one we automatically connect to the other if that makes sense?

Existing Games / Your Gaming Year 2015 Edition

« on: December 29, 2015, 05:56:05 PM »

So for the third year in a row I've decided to do this topic in which we discuss our favourite games of this year.

Why am I doing this again? Cause why the hell not.

There is one rule:

The games can be from any year as long as you started playing it this year.

So here are the questions:

1. What is your personal game(s) of the year?

2. Your favorite gaming moment?

3. Your Favorite Game Soundtrack this year?

4. Game that surprised you the most?

5. Most disappointing game that you played?

6. Games your looking forward to in 2016 and beyond?


Of course the host shall do his first:

1. My Top 6:

1. Uncharted: The Nathan Drake Collection
2. Metal Gear Solid V: The Phantom Pain
3. Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
4. Just Cause 3
5. Tales of Zestiria
6. Persona 4: Dancing All Night


2. Favourite Gaming Moment would have to be the satisfaction of finally beating Xenoblade Chronicles and my reaction of seeing the Final Fantasy VII Remake being announced.

3. Favourite Game Soundtrack would have to be Project X Zone 2 even though it is not out over in the West.

4. Game that took me by surprise was Broken Age. One of  my favourite video game stories this year.

5. Most disappointing game would be Mad Max. Not bad game but I just could not bring myself to play it for more than a few hours.

6. 2016 is looking like it'll be the biggest gaming year for me. My Top 7 games are:

1. Final Fantasy XV
2. Uncharted 4: A Thief's End
3. Persona 5
4. Zero Escape 3: Zero Time Dilemma
5. Nier: Automata
6. Fire Emblem Fates
7: Mirror's Edge 2


So my games list has finished. It was a good year for games. Looking forward to hearing everyone else's.

Chatterbox / So I had a look at a lot....

« on: September 07, 2015, 06:03:17 AM »

Of my old posts and I realized something:

I was a real weird son of a bitch.

Discussion / RA2 playing time question thing.

« on: April 13, 2015, 04:37:18 PM »

When was the last time yous played RA2 and how often do you play it now?

I really have lost interest in it. I want to enter in tournaments and host one but to be honest there's just better games out there that I like to play more than this. Anyone else feels like this?

Tournament Archives / No Honor - Discussion stage.

« on: January 19, 2015, 05:13:10 PM »

So I am proud to announce that I will host a RA2 tournament over the next couple months. Now before you people go "Oh you have not been on much and you can't AI" and all this ordeal. I have learned to AI recently but the only basic way and I'll be having a lot more free time around the March-April area hence the Spring 2015 time.

So you may ask: "Why are you planning it now?"

Well its because I want to know what you people want to see in a Stock tournament and I've been here near 4 years now and I've not hosted a tournament. What are the rules you want within limits as listed below.

No BFE, AAM, Hax mode etc.
Unrealistic
MW or lower.
12 entries max.

Tournament will have 3 four way melees with 1 winner each. Losers will face one-on-one will a three way melee, winner of that goes to the final melee. Who ever wins is the champion

I'll say that while it's highly unlikely I'll ever back to enjoying RA2 like I used to, I think hosting a tournament would be like a goodbye to the game that was relatively a big part of my childhood and teenage years.

Existing Games / Your Gaming Year 2014

« on: December 31, 2014, 03:20:14 PM »

Its the same as last year in which we say our favorite games you played in 2014.

There is one rule:

The games can be from any year as long as you Started playing it this year.

So here are the questions:

1. What is your personal game(s) of the year?

2. Your favorite holy hell moment? (Basically a moment in the game that made you feel or go holy beep!)

3. Your Favorite Game Soundtrack this year?

4. Favorite game music theme from this year?

5. Game that surprised you the most?

6. Most disappointing game that you played?

7. Games your looking forward to in 2015 and beyond?

Here are mine:

1. My Top 10

10. Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth
9. Freedom Wars
8. Infamous Second Son (The game that introduced me to next gen.)
7. Bravely Default
6. Attack of the Friday Monsters!!
5. Dishonored
4. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax
3. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (One of the most Underrated FF games there is.)
2. Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster
1. Child of Light (Ubisoft's best game of 2014 by far and it's so good I've got it on three consoles)


2. Spoilers for two FF Games in this

Final Fantasy X HD: The Sending and the Underwater Date scene. I cried at both. Also Lightning Returns ending: They landed on Earth! That does not make sense! How does God create a new world and why are there stuff like cars and houses before Lightnings people even arrived? 

3. Persona 4 Arena Ultimax/Persona Q: Both excellent game soundtracks

4. Attack of the Friday Monsters Opening Theme

5. Far Cry 3: I never expected the story to be so good. And awesome open world.

6. Smash Bros 3DS: Its gameplay is solid like usual but I can't help but feel like something big is missing from the game. Also some of the stages were too gimmicky. I wish there was a stage hazards off but not Final Destination mode.

7. Final Fantasy Type-0, Final Fantasy XV, Rime, Metal Gear Solid V, Xenoblade Chronicles 3DS, Persona 5 and Zelda Majora's Mask 3D.


So that was my Gaming Year what's yours?

Off-Topic Discussion / Am the only one...

« on: December 15, 2014, 04:44:45 PM »

Who has really gotten bored with RA2 and robot combat recently? I mean apart from the upcoming RW mod in which I'll probably won't be playing as heavily as the rest of yous, I've lost complete interest. It feels like I'm only on here out of routine than anything else and so I ask, am I the only who feels like this?

Existing Games / Game Endings that made you speechless.

« on: September 09, 2014, 05:25:10 PM »

What game endings have ever made you speechless to the point in which you ending not talking much the next day(s)?

I have three.

Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII - Anyone who has finished the game knows how BLOOPed up the ending is. I rarely spoke over course of a few days.

Shadow of the Colossus - Ending made me think quite deeply for a week. Also was not in the mood to speak at that time due to other things.

Persona 4 Golden - Completed it tonight. I'm speechless quite now and I'm in this philosophical thinking mood now. Its going to last a few days.


Anyways people what do you think causes it? Thats what I want to discuss and also list yours.

Discussion / Any tips for building a Stock HW clamp?

« on: August 12, 2014, 04:04:33 PM »

Title says it all.

After losing most of my bots due to a sibling being a hateful idiot, I also lost a half-built HW wammer. So I went out for a walk today and was thinking about ideas for Kos's tournament and I wanted to make something different so I thought about making a Clamp. So I now ask; does anyone have ideas on how to make an at least semi-effective clamp?

13

Discussion / I need help with major problem.

« on: August 11, 2014, 03:52:08 PM »

Hey people I really need help here, basically begging for help. I lost my memory stick earlier and I just found it but it was thrown out the window by the little brother and is damaged beyond repair. That unfortunately means I've lost all my RA2 data, games lists etc; without backup. So I'm asking this to anyone who I've entered in their tournaments, can you send my bots that I've entered back to me? It would help alot.

PS: Only thing on that memory stick that had backup was work I need to showcase to someone later in the week.

Chatterbox / Eating Alone

« on: August 06, 2014, 06:12:24 AM »

This is probably a weird topic but I'll go ahead and say. Is it weird for you people if you ate alone in a fancy restaurant or even some place like a KFC or McDonalds? Just a question out of curiosity.

Existing Games / Ico and Shadow of the Colossus

« on: June 03, 2014, 05:34:51 PM »

Has anyone played these two games?

Both are absolutely fantastic games in my mind and should definitely be played by everyone who wants something different from the norm.

Existing Games / Need ideas for a gaming essay

« on: May 13, 2014, 05:12:31 PM »

Title says it all. Its part of my English portfolio but I need help with ideas. I have to do 300 words and it cannot be a review about a game.
Here is so far what I have thought and the games I will be using:

1. How a game can make someone feel and make them become emotional. Game: Final Fantasy X HD

2. How games just need a good atmosphere in order to make people feel. Game: Shadow of the Colossus

3. How I feel about the rise of smartphones and the damage it is doing to handheld gaming.

Anyone got any ideas?

Chatterbox / I got a bit of bad news

« on: March 30, 2014, 04:25:41 PM »

This is serious. Its only in Junkyard cause I don't want creepy guests looking at this. Plus it feels awkward.


Over the past couple of weeks my mind has became a bit messed up. Thought process has felt faster, had a major lack of motivation to do anything, night terrors have came back on the rise, out of body experiences etc, to give you a rough picture. So last week i went to counseling and after telling him about this he said there could a likely chance that I could have schizophrenia. My mind has felt different since then. I just want to let you people know as Im gonna lower my presence here for a couple of months until this is sorted.

Thanks for listening.

Tournament Archives / New Contest idea

« on: March 25, 2014, 04:33:39 PM »

I have realized that there are no contests going on anymore. Tournaments yes, contests no.


So I want to throw an idea. It is called Reinmatchination (not final name)

So what is it all about?

In short using replicas from Robot Wars, Battlebots take your pick and you try to recreate a match that happened in real-life. Basically you choose what match you want to recreate and then you post them.

There are rules of course.

1. The match must have been longer than 25 seconds IRL.
2. You must create your own replicas.
3. You must have 2 key/famous moments in the match.
4. It can be stock or DSL. Weight does not matter.
5. The winner will be determined by the people and not by me.

When will you do this if allowed to happen?

Not until May time.

This is not final rules. But I want people to express their opinions on this.

29. Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance (TWEWY characters was the reason I got it but then music, gameplay and many other things attracted me on its own.)
28. NBA Courtside 2002 (To this day I still don’t know why the 7 year old me loved it. Must have been the sport in general.)
27. Civilization IV: Beyond the Sword (One of the most tactical games I have ever played)
26. Assassins Creed III (You run around killing Brits and Americanos with a Tomahawk and dancing while you do it)
25. Super Mario Sunshine (Delfino Plaza theme and FLUDD. I wish Mario has another game like this)
24. Portal 2 (Its Portal. Funny, makes you feel smart, level editor is awesome list goes on.)
23. Mario Smash Football (Very odd to have this as the highest Mario game. It was Mario combined with football. Absolutely mental.)
22. Shadow of the Colossus (Absolutely beautiful game. All you have to do is take down sixteen beasts. So much harder than I thought it would be)

14. Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Has amongst my favourite settings in video games, a catchy soundtrack and time-travel.)
13. Jet Set Radio (I love this game so much because of its message about freedom and stuff like that. Also great soundtrack)
12. Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater (The best of the MGS games by far. Just look at the boss battles)
11. Zero Escape: Virtues Last Reward (Ally or Betray? Those words haunt me. Taught me a lot about trust as well)
10. Zero Escape: 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors (Beats VLR cause I prefer the art style. Story is also better)
9. Attack of the Friday Monsters!!! (In short you’re a kid in 70s Japan who discovers that monsters attack his town every Friday. Very charming.)
8. Assassins Creed II (A story about revenge in Renaissance Italy. Also Venice Rooftops is one of my favourite themes of all time)
7. Pokémon SoulSilver (Two regions and the ability to have your Pokémon follow you. Awesome)
6. Super Smash Bros Brawl (Its Smash Bros. Enough Said)
5. Xenoblade Chronicles (Huge game with a combat system that reminds me as a mixture of Dragon Age and Final Fantasy)
4. Project X Zone (In short it’s an overloaded Japanese crossover seizure fest)
3. Lightning Returns: Final Fantasy XIII (The first game I’ve ever cried at. The ending of the game kick-started my philosophy. Plus epic battle system.)
2. Dissidia 012 Final Fantasy (Final Fantasy fighting game. Bloody insane)
