  1. Yes, because we sure are interrupting a lively discussion.
  2. Absolutely. You just unfortunately can't have any emblems/logos, so that's kinda ass-poo. You also need to save your clubs, because stuff resets once a new data patch gets released. For example, I have the Barclays Premiership saved onto my hard drive, and then the Championship and Serie B saved onto my flash drive to upload since you can only save 20 clubs to the hard drive. I'm also in the process of slowly "unfaking" one league to make the Bundesliga and "unfake" some of the South American teams/players. I'm also weird and kinda enjoy embracing some "fictional" parts of PES. Like, one league I'm slowly converting into a fictional North American league.
  3. Which is just an exercise in bullshit and frustration.
  4. This is totally just me, but I got bored as fuck by the English league after two years in FIFA anyway, so going to totally new leagues in PES is rad for me. Also, I edited all the names for clubs and stadiums and such in. It sucks that kits aren't in, but I'm kinda going out of my way to not play English clubs anyway since I've played them to death in FIFA. The South American stuff is super interesting to me, too. And then I'll move on to Ligue 1 or La Liga or possibly even Serie A in Master League. The Dutch league seems really interesting, too. And the Champions League license is pretty rad. There's a lot of licensed leagues that seem interesting to me. Again, that's just me, and it does suck that the Premiership and Bundesliga aren't in, but La Liga, Serie A, Ligue 1, and the South American leagues are really intriguing and exposed me to stuff I barely pay attention to. The AFC Champions League is fun, too. Basically, the gameplay is fucking fantastic and the game looks great. It does really suck that there's no fie sharing, but I can look past it for the gameplay and other leagues other than the Barclays Premiership. And I will fully admit that the menu/UI, as well as parts of the Master League are kinda archaic. I do love, though, that in Master League, because players can feel so unique, building up up-and-coming dudes just feels so much more rewarding than in FIFA.
  5. PES, is, to me, much better than FIFA this year. Once you get the controls down, you have an incredible amount of control with the ball. The passing is god-damned incredible, too. You just feel so in control of how you're able to distribute the ball and there's an awesome emphasis on build-up and passing. It's awesome. PES also does a great job of differentiating clubs (as long as you make sure fluid formations are on) and clubs do a great job of adjusting to the circumstances surrounding a game. I also love that players are differentiated, too. They feel unique—say, deep-lying mids who may not have amazing pace anymore but just play awesome passes, play as they ought to play. Massive brutes of defenders play like massive brutes. Speeder wingers play like speedy wingers. Dudes like Messi and Ronaldo and so on and so forth are all terrifying. Guys like Thomas Muller, whose skills are incredible, but doesn't exactly fit one "mould" is, I feel, a lot more useful in PES than FIFA because there's more freedom in formations and build-up to use his skillset effectively. I barely ever felt that dudes played like they ought to in FIFA. FIFA got boring and same-y and the 90th minute/45th minute comeback stuff just got to me—same with the over-reliance on pace, as always. It is shitty that file editing can't happen on PS4/Xbone, though. The lack of licensing wouldn't be such a big deal if it had file editing, and it definitely sours me a bit, but it's a better game to play and there's a buttload of leagues to still play with. I've had great fun in Ligue 1 in my career mode and even more fun in Brazil in my Manager mode.
  6. When did the WWE buy out DDT and New Japan? Anyway, it's rad to see new moves, even if they're indie-tastic and none of them fit with the WWE style. And new content is always rad. Ish. Kinda. As for the paid-for nature of it? I'm so very indifferent when I know I should be mad but bitching on the internet one way or the other is tiresome so I'mma just maybe or maybe not buy it.
  7. Sonic, at least the last one, ate a fucking dick. It became an exercise in bullshit trials that were virtually impossible to do at some point. It was fun for about five hours, then it decided to get stupid hard for no discernible reason. That game was wildly, wildly unbalanced when it came to difficulty level. The ladyfriend and I still play Mario Kart 8 on a weekly basis. We promptly got rid of Sonic after it just became way too hard. That says something. Mario Kart is absolutely still Mario Kart, but it's the best Mario Kart ever. I think there were better games on this list, and I even had more fun with other multiplayer games, but I didn't come back to any other game more this year than Mario Kart 8. It's fantastic. As for Dragon Age, I've seen many, many, many reports of bugs and glitches on PC, PS4, Xbone, and previous gen on countless sites and forums, and also just from anecdotal discussions I've had with the few people I know who played it. It's a great game with incredible characters—and not just for a video game, either—but it is a buggy, janky-ass open-world game—nothing game-breaking, but the bugs and glitches certainly exist. Anddddd I have no opinion on Pokémon, but I bet it's rad. All of these games iterated on pretty great games, so it's not too surprising, especially in a supposedly "off" year for games, that these familiar, but incredibly well made games are in the top three. If you want experimentation and new shit, you know to go to indie games. If you want other EWBers to play them, tell them to get off their ass and play them and then maybe the list won't end up like this. That sounds more snarky than it should, but you take a look at the Nintendo and Pokémon thread and then just check out the general gaming thread and it's kinda obvious we as a board stuck to what was familiar in an "off-year" that really didn't have too many indie darlings to speak of. I also completely disagree about the Mario Kart/Smash Bros. debate. Smash Bros. is not inviting for people who have never played Smash Bros. Never has been. You quickly become "that guy" if you're the dude that owns Smash Bros. and have friends over. You're the asshole that knows all the moves. And it is a great game with an awesome amount of depth, and I'm sure that for a while, people will have fun as the chaos just unfurls. At some point, though, there's gonna be that one dude/girl who's way too good and then you've gotta try to teach people how to play and it's just eh. Mario Kart definitely suffers from the same problem, but it's not as bad. There's parity built in to the game design. Yeah, you can handicap people in Smash Bros., but it still requires you to teach people how to play Smash. Bros. As long as someone can hold a controller and is at least somewhat familiar with Mario Kart, they can have a good time even if they're horrible just because of the random nature of Mario Kart and the catchup logic. Griefing people and competition is built in to the inherent randomness of the items and catchup logic, which levels the playing field. Two player? It's shitty either way for the person who doesn't play games as much/doesn't own Smash/Mario Kart, but the second you get multiple people in there (and hope the framerate isn't too shitty, admittedly), Mario Kart is still buttloads of fun unless you just don't know how to actually drive the karts. Smash still relies on too much skill to me, to be fun to the hypothetical friends that are just coming around to play some games and you're much, much better than. Even with handicaps on, Smash Bros. comes down to skill. That is fine for the right people (read: people who are good at Smash), but it I just know that if I sat Mario Kart and Smash in front of my group of core friends, we'd try Smash for a bit, get bored/frustrated, then play Mario Kart instead.
  8. There's always WWE 2K16. Also, good luck finding half-decent New Japan CAWs, with with the disgustingly limited CAW options. Dudes like Nakamura and Tanahashi, or Tenzan just aren't possible. Even if they have awesome face scans, the lack of hair options just puts a damper on things. Anywho, I discovered that you can make "Nicolas Cage" a call name, so I promptly created Nicolas Cage, started a career with him, then felt kinda iffy about the polygonal wrestler man's resemblance to our lord and saviour, Nicolas Cage, and promptly stopped playing that career mode.
  9. Okay, who had Community? Someone had to have had Community. To be fair, Community was incredible, then got reaaaaaaaaallllllllllyyyyyyyyyyyy bad. Maybe it's picked back up again? I don't tend to stick with TV shows. Same thing happened to Walking Dead. I've heard its found its footing again, but I just don't really care/can't force myself to slog through the bad to get to the goood.
  10. I don't like either show, and I know this to be true. Edit: Fucccccccccccccccccccccccccckkkkkk yessssssssssssssss Bojack. Also had no clue Community was still on the air. I kinda stopped bothering after the third season. Y'all watch some poopy TV.
  11. Ya damned skippy Cardiff City's going back to the blue.
  12. Big Bang Theory? BIG BANG THEORY? Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh fuck you. Also, completely forgot Louie even aired this year. Shows how much I paid attention to TV.
