Perfect peach on day 1.  Yay?

Anyway man I forgot how relaxing and tranquil this game is.  No pressure, just shoot the shit and do whatever.  Such a nice change of pace.

Well I finally picked this up.  Just starting out, playing now.  Familiar territory, really.  Still not a huge fan of this horizon thing in the back, but whatever.  Now just to go to the town hall an--

GODDAMNIT.  PEACHES.

90% of every town we started when we played this on the GC at home it was peaches.  Millions of peaches.  CAN'T I NOT GET PEACHES FUCKING ONCE.

The Steam Summer Sale kind of crushed my wallet but I'm looking forward to picking this game up in the next couple of weeks.

@GARO 13

How is it that so many things can happen in this episode, but nothing actually happens?

For all its obvious problems, though, this was still a better episode on the whole than most.  I was worried the painful overacting earlier in the episode would ruin the ending, but it didn't.  Plus, clear views of all three armors in addition to confirmation that the flaming weapons trick is still a thing.

Now if only I actually liked any of the characters (save Zaruba, who's as boss as ever).

Oh well.  At least Garo is still marginally entertaining
No, it's not. The new Garo is absolutely terrible, there's nothing good about it and I'd even consider it worse than Wizard (Then again Wizard is already in episode 40 and the plot still has barely moved, Garo is halfway done but boy, this first half is really really fucking bad. It's UltraSeven X's kind of bad.)

I think by this point it's pretty obvious we're of differing views on Garo.  What's keeping me hanging onto it is the fact that I dig the visuals and the out-of-suit action.  I'm one of those guys that's really not all that hard to entertain.

Even then, I'm this close to losing my patience with it.  Even I've got a limit of bullshit I can take.  >:|

God fucking damnit.  Mayu was the only thing in this damned show left I was interested in seeing how she turned out and you assholes fucked it up.

Fuck you, Wizard, and the dragon you rode in on.

Oh well.  At least Garo is still marginally entertaining and will last into the next Rider.  With Akiba 2 done, though, the next couple of months look bleak.   :gonk:

Serious question, and I know I'm gonna get my ass kicked for even suggesting it: is DLC not an option?

If it was nearly any other game I wouldn't bring it up since DLC is horribly abused these days, but I really think Sakurai and his team would be inclined to do it right if they were to do it at all.  It just seems like selling characters - and only characters - over time would give them the wiggle room to add some things they couldn't squeeze in during the original development.  Are they just wholly against the idea or have they not even considered it?

What dragged Kiva down more than anything else was the shitty, shitty drama.  Get past that and it's entertaining enough.

My problem with Fourze...  I dunno, maybe I am too harsh on it.  Pacing was garbage for sure.  I honestly didn't like most of the characters, they were almost all one trick ponies who all got their predictable spin at character development and then never grew at all after their arc was over.  Worse still, near the end, the implicit scale of each Rider and Zodiart's relative strength gets tossed out the window.  And don't bother asking any questions, like why do the guy's eyes turn red,
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
because answering obvious questions is for dumbasses.  On top of that, every last one of Fourze's forms are ugly as hell and the only cool-looking Rider is Meteor (ruined by his upgrade, of course, as is a long-standing tradition of Rider final non-movie forms).  Fourze's switches range from badass (I WILL KICK YOU WITH A CHAINSAW) to mind-numbingly dumb (My leg is a refrigerator, and my other leg is a spigot!).  All that, and the setting was gimmicky and lame.  Points for trying something a little different, but experiment failed.

Then again.  The monster designs are generally fairly cool, the wire fight choreography is actually pretty entertaining, and having not one, but two leads that can kick ass out-of-suit (and do so effectively!) was pretty great.  And as much as I shit on Fourze in general,
Spoiler, click to toggle visibilty
  Fourze gave me feels, even if just for that moment, and for that I will never forgive it.  So I guess all things considered I am a tad harsh on it.  I still don't think it's very good but it's not the shitpile I like to say it is.

Spoiler: Not that most of us will need it but I'm being sensitive to those who haven't watched Double (click to see content)

As for O's.  Best description I ever saw for it was, if Double is 60% serious and 40% comedy, OOO is the opposite.  The form change gimmick is a bit of a clusterfuck as his collection grows and a lot of cool combinations are missed or underutilized, but the concept is pretty cool I dug most of the deigns.  Personally I thought Gotou was the weakest link in the whole thing.  Eiji was a little hard to like at times because of how distant he is (there's a reason for that, tho) but him and Ankh were great together.  Cakeboss is best.

tl;dr OOO is solid, I'm pretty sure you won't hate it.  The trouble starts at Fourze and has so far lasted through Wizard, so enjoy it while you can.

Did I miss a memo or something that said we all hate Futurama now? Futurama, the highly critically praised comedy? Maybe you're thinking of The Cleveland Show or something.

Or the mediocre seasons that aired on Comedy Central.

I've been nothing but optimistic about that show and even I'm starting to get fed up with it.  If the next episode doesn't contain something worthwhile I'll be seriously tempted to jump ship and trash what I've got like I did with Go-Busters.  Seriously we're 11 episodes in and we've got maybe 3 episodes worth of actual plot-relevant information.  That's bullshit.

And fuck you Ryuga, Rian is a bitch.  And obnoxious.

Coincidence, has to be.

Besides, the archetype of the red-and-black goth-ish spider-themed pale chick has been around for a good while.  They're really not that much alike outside of that.

I found this huge Imgur post of twitter posts.  Basically this guy takes inner city kids out on actual hikes, and records the choicest bits he overhears, hence "Ghetto Hikes".  Thought it was perfect rotating signature material, so I chopped up the posts, did a thing, and boom, sig.

W was my Rider gateway drug so I'm kind of biased towards it.  That said, the best thing about it was definitely the movies.  Having seen virtually every Rider movie since W happened, I can at least say with personal certainty that W's movies were the best overall.  That said, as much as I loathe Fourze in general, the movie Space, Here We Come! that introduced Fusion States was probably the best fight choreography in any Rider movie I've seen.  Story was complete crap, tho.

As for final forms; I don't think they bother designing Riders with a progression of forms thought all the way out.  They get as far as the first mid-season upgrade and then wing it, it almost seems like.  Cyclone/Joker X-treme, Wizard Infinity, Fourze Cosmic States, all just kinda seemed like afterthoughts.
