Oooorrrr because some of us have already seen enough to know they'll enjoy the game. Which I have.

Dang people having secret access to the game.

No more access than you, m'fellow. Screenshots, video, all public, most brought up in this thread.

How come when "I" say that I "won't" like a game long in advance I get shot down... but when you do it for a game you like everyone is going to be on your side? ohhh yes... Hype.

More because a negative position elicits a negative reaction... that, and you're implying that the folks that are excited are incapable of video game risk assessment despite many of us having many years of experience with that

I guess if you equate excitement to hype, you're right. People are excited, anticipatory, because previous experience has shown that the kind of signs that SB's putting out, well, has a high chance of paying out beautifully, or at least sufficiently so, and we're willing to downplay your warnings because of that.

Every one of us happy people are 110% aware that it could turn out badly, though. But... what more are you asking for than that? We can be and are aware of the risk and still capable of being giddy about what's coming out. Is that so bad?

Though again... if you'd rather be particularly wary about things, that's cool. I, at least, am not so much shooting you down as respectfully disagreeing and clarifying the why of that. I dig your position, especially with the little bite from Terraria and how modern video game advertising and pre-release information dissemination has a nasty tendency to play out. So carry on Neo, carry on. Just expect us to carry on, too

It used to be people discussing a game that they barely knew anything about, wondering whether this and that would be in the game and looking at the images the developer uploads (and was put on here by yours truly and a few others).

And we'll get back to this the next time there's something else to squee over, thankyouverymuch. Least that's my intended (pre)game plan.

Just give a way to organize or cull your spell access method (whatever that may be). Then you can splatter spells about like an eldritch bukkakefest and the major problem with that is solved.

But yeah, I like my niche, one off, world-building bits of magic and other special abilities. Don't really give a shit if they're mostly (or even completely!) useless. It's just nice to have, fleshes things out. Generally bloat from a gameplay perspective but, y'know what? I like me some g'damn bloat, especially if it's shiny and/or interesting.

I'm not entirely sure Jack wouldn't repeatedly kick batman's ass, actually, even without killing. Jack's got a fucking spirit-powered ion cannon in his sword or some such, iirc, plus ridiculous amount of experience kicking around gadget-based bounty hunters. Jack's also pretty plainly superhuman to a degree a couple of steps beyond bman ("Jump good", for starters). In most scenarios I could think of, Jack would have an absolutely major advantage without many notable weaknesses. Dude's kinda' a beast.

Bman might be able to poison Jack's tea, though! Except I'm pretty sure Aku's goons tried that

Re: Aang versus superman... technically, Supes could just go kinetic kill vehicle on the glowy midget from out near mars or somethin'. Not sure what the avatar state could do against a swarm of hunks of metal traveling a significant fraction of c being launched from a couple of AU away. Mind you, the planet itself probably wouldn't come out too well in that exchange either, but meh. Barring that, Supes has that whole "nearly as fast as flash" thing, which would probably be enough in itself.

Why would that matter? Bot probably just reads the page code and nabs whatever it is they're after. Obfuscation like that just slows down humans, not machines

As much as we like to delude ourselves with our facial hair, we get more handsome complements without it.

 Moreso from dudes, but that's the risk you gotta take.

Mine gets me confused with Mennonites and orthodox jews

S'like... no, no religious affiliation, I just don't like bothering to shave if I don't have an active reason to. Costs less, less effort. The walking sticks I've picked up off the ground over the years apparently doesn't help, for some reason. Guess natural walking sticks are a sign of traditionalist religious folks? I'unno. I like my walking sticks kinda' spiky.

The head hair still draws complements once in a blue moon, huzzah.

Huh, I'll be. Not a single super robot wars game has an SD Gundam series in it, as far as I can tell. That's kinda bizzare, super robot wars loves gundam. And the robots are already in kinda SD style (which is to say kinda squashed together). Very odd. Maybe in the future.

There are a few SRW style SD Gundam games, though. They're just, uh. All in japanese. And not SRW games, just turn based strategy blatantly ripping off the SRW style

Or at least there's one on the SNES. Tried playing it. Was very interesting, but had no idea what blazes was doing and couldn't really get very far. Not actually sure if it was based off that SD Gundam show that popped up a while back in english, though.
