Pangoro "Sen"

Well, supposedly I should be hibernating because of how it's winter or whatever. First, I don't do that. Second, it is nowhere near as cold as it should be up here in the north! Oh, uh, and to answer your question, I'm doing fine.

Oh yeah, I completely forgot that Persona 2 actually has Hitler in it. Oh, wait, sorry. "Fuhrer". That name change was a bit weird. But ah well. It's still funny.

*Receives a copy of Okami from my sister* Aw, heck yeah! I can't wait to play this game! I've always wanted to play it...Ah...Oh hey, Pokemon!

Well, that depends. Does it have to do with the PS4 version specifically, or XIV in general? Either way, I'll try to help if I can!

To everybody, I'm going to postpone this for quite a while. The actual RP will be put up mid-late January. I apologize for this, but this is what's going to work best for me. I have Christmas stuff soon here, finals coming up, and I have two Language Arts essays that I need to work on through break and into January. Sorry for the inconvenience, and I hope that you all can be patient!

Hey guys! So, I’ve been wanting to do a review like this for a while now, and I decided that now would be a good time, for whatever reason. Hope you guys like it! Also, there will be NO MAJOR SPOILERS for the anime nor the manga of One Piece. The only things that will be spoiled are the names of certain locations and characters. No major plot points will be brought up. Overview: One Piece Pirate Warriors 3, released in August 2015 in North America and Europe for PS3, PS4, PSVita & Windows PCs, is an action game published by Namco Bandai and developed by Omega Force. It is, clearly, the third in the Pirate Warriors series, which is a series of One Piece games made in the same way games like Dynasty Warriors and Hyrule Warriors are. Now, Warriors games in of themselves are very subjective. Several people love them, and several people hate them. It really is just a case of, “Will you get bored with this in 15 minutes?”. With that being said, let’s get on with the show! Presentation: Pirate Warriors 3 looks very good. The environments have nice and fun details to them, and all the visual effects for the characters’ attacks are fun to look at, too. The character models themselves are just alright for the PS4, but considering they look pretty much identical to the PS3 version, it’s not that big of a deal. And of course, the number of enemies that can be on screen is truly amazing. There can be hundreds of enemies on-screen at once without any slow-down. Though this number of enemies really is only limited to the PS4 version, as the PS3, Vita, & strangely even the PC versions cannot have that many enemies on-screen at once. This is really the only reason to get either the PS4 version over any of the others if you can. The voice acting is, sadly, completely Japanese. There’s no way to change the voices to English. Which is a shame, because the voice acting in the English dub of the One Piece anime is great, and having all the voice actors come back for their roles would be great. However, in the end, it’s not that big of a deal. Story: The story is...well, pretty much how it’s followed in the anime/manga. Though for anybody curious, without any major spoilers, here’s a basic run-down: Monkey D. Luffy, a young man with a straw hat that can stretch his body out to insane lengths, journeys out to sea so he can find the One Piece and become the king of the pirates. Along the way, he meets several characters that join him in his crew, including Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji. Together, they adventure through the East Blue, the Grand Line, and the New World, helping others along the way and defeating powerful foes, both other pirates and Government officials included. That’s a basic summary of the plot. If it sounds interesting to you, I recommend that you check out the anime or manga. The game itself only follows the most important parts of the story, and you’d get a much better experience of the story with either of those. With that being said, there is one part of the story, the final chapter specifically, that is considered non-canon to the actual story of One Piece. Gameplay: This is the biggest, and best, part of Pirate Warriors 3. Gameplay in this game has you mowing down thousands of enemies per stage, pressing buttons to perform ridiculous combos that give you a great sense of power. And of course, each character is unique in play style. As you play as a character, you can level him/her up, and use coins to upgrade your character. The game also has several modes for you to play through. Legend Log is the basic story mode. You play through important locales throughout the series on a stage-by-stage basis. Doing certain things within these stages, such as getting an S rank on them or doing in-stage missions, will get you coins that you can use to upgrade your characters’ stats, or unlock new costumes/special moves. Also, naturally playing through all of Legend Log unlocks most of the characters in the game, as well as several costumes. Free Log lets you play through any stage in Legend Log with any character and any costume. Most of the same things in Legend Log apply here, except you may need to play some stages in Free Log to unlock some things, like costumes. Dream Log is one of the more unique modes in the game. This mode has you walking from island to island on a world map. Each island is a new stage for you to play through, and several islands have powerful foes for you to fight against. The first time you play through it, each powerful foe that you defeat adds him to your roster of playable characters. And of course, awaiting at the end of it all is Red-Haired Shanks himself! Nightmare Log is the same thing as Dream Log, except all of the islands you go to are Level 100; 50 levels above your typical maximum. You need to unlock certain coins to make it so that your characters can break the level 50 level cap. And even then, good luck trying to beat all the islands. Nightmare Log is a huge challenge, and you’ll be lucky to die only a dozen handfuls of times. With all of that out of the way, I do have a couple of problems with the gameplay. First, the camera can be bad at times, though this isn’t too often. Second, and this really is just a small and personal bias, I feel like several characters that should have been playable in the game just weren’t. Hody, Arlong, and Kuro just to name a few. Though neither of those are massive problems. Rating: One Piece Pirate Warriors 3 is a fantastic game, not just for One Piece fans but also for fans of either high-action games or the Warriors games. While it does have a few minor problems, the game is still amazing. I give Pirate Warriors 3 a rating of… 9/10!

Uh...this is still about food, right?

I'm kinda tempted to post my own review of a video game sometime soon. Just to see if I would be good at it, really.

I don't remember that letter there. Uh, what does it say..."p"? What the heck is that letter? Some ghost thing named Doo_lis told me that that letter doesn't exist.

255 days, eh? Time sure flies, doesn't it? Anyways, thanks for sticking around for this long! And may there be many more amazing days like this in all of our futures!

E.T. listened intently to Dexter speak, constantly kicking his feet almost like a young child would. Eventually, after moments of silence from himself, E.T. spoke up to answer. "Heckle yeah we are! We're gonna go off to the future and kick some slimy, alien, fuse-y buttocks!" Silly speaking mannerisms aside, E.T. made it obvious that he was very intent on going into the future. Even if it was just because he could get to see what aliens really look like. Although, as much as it pained the boy, E.T. promised himself that he wouldn't get too attached to the alien creatures.

Bahamut.

Accepted! Can't wait to see what other character(s) you bring into the fray!

Man, I've been doing a lot of RP stuff. This is strangely...fulfilling. Like, a void has been filled in the location that is my heart! ...Or, you know, something else. I dunno.

You are not missing anything else! I hereby accept your characters! Oh, and we should maybe be getting one more person. He may or may not join based on how busy he is, though. Either way, this should be fun with the interesting line-up of characters we have!

Wait, you mean a year has already passed? Dang, man. Time certainly flies.

Ooh, Birthright. I myself intend on getting Conquest.

Read through the first post again really quickly, if you could. You're missing something.

Name: Fishman Fred Age: 28 Gender: Male Appearance: Gained webbed hands and feet, gills along his neck, a greenish tint to his now paler skin, sharpened teeth, and is bald. Oh, and he typically only wears a black tank top and shorts with a speedo underneath. Abilities: Underwater breathing, as well as a major boost in speed and agility whilst in the water. He's also great with a dagger, whether in or out of water. Job/Position: With his get-up? Yeah, he's a performer. Performance: He's basically gonna play fish. He'll be brought out in pretty large tub of water with a lid to cover it all. He'll be set off to the side while a rather long performance is going on. He'll then be brought up again, where the length of time he was in there will be noted. He will then be fed a large piece of tough meat, where he will tear it apart as a lion would it's prey. (If you would like something a bit more entertaining, please let me know. But for this character, this is all I can come up with at the moment.) Bio: Fred was a professional swimmer. All throughout his mid-20's, he'd been winning award after award in competitive swimming competitions. Heck, he's even once won an Olympic medal, too. Though soon after he won that, he had retired from swimming. It was fun for him while it lasted, but he was done with it at that point. Then he got kidnapped. He was made an offer: Help these individuals chase down criminals, either supernatural or mortal. Fred just wanted to go home, and refused time after time. After enough of this, he was deformed. He had become a fishman, and was forced to help them anyways. Fred still hates what he has to do, but the pain has been dulled for him after a while. Fun facts: He hates spicy food with a passion, and still loves swimming even if he isn't a professional anymore. Name: Cillan Token Age: 22 Gender: Male Appearance: Typical lab coat get-up with a black shirt and ragged jeans underneath, oily-black hair, odd-eyes(one brown one green), a very thin frame, and somewhat short. He also has scars all over his body, a few on his face even. And finally, he keeps a few of his mixtures in vials that he keeps beneath his coat. Abilities: Very efficient in the ways of surgery and chemistry. He also is capable of using a gun. Not for bullets, but for easily blasting more of his mixtures at any sort of creature. Job/Position: Doctor, though is also pretty handy in a fight if need be. Bio: Cillan became a part of all this...somehow. He's injected himself with so many things so many times, that he has lost a lot of random memories, including how he exactly came to be a part of all of this. For all he knows, he kinda just showed up one day. Not that he minds. His job allows him to seek two of his favorite thrills: performing wicked surgical operations on people, and fighting supernatural creatures. He loves what he does, even to the point of it being crazy at times. Despite this, he will respect it when others tell him to not secretly do anything to them. Just, uh, just know that that doesn't mean he won't do anything without permission. Fun facts: He will occasionally burst out laughing for no apparent reason, or if he's only lightly chuckling. He also has no concept of love nor sexuality. (I hope this is all alright! If you want me to change anything, let me know!)

Yeah, I'm gonna go with everybody else on here. Just, well, be yourself. There's a somebody for everybody, and as long as you be yourself, you'll find that somebody! Like, take me for instance. I don't exactly have the best opinions in the world, but I stuck by them. And eventually, I met my current boyfriend, whom I've been dating for about a year and 8 months. #humblebrag. Anyways, you be you. You seem like a cool dood. And chicks dig the cool doods. I mean, probably. I dunno, my gay brain doesn't know too much about what females like in a man, despite some people saying otherwise. Just, uh, yeah. Be yourself, man! Also, since this is as good a time as any to say this. You remind me a lot of either Sanji from One Piece or Brock from the Pokemon anime. You love women, but you always have that sense of respect for them. I like that.

Ah yes, Lucci. Definitely one of my favorite villains in One Piece. Although, something else could be said about that fight/stage in Pirate Warriors 3... ...Ugh, bad memories. Bad.

Accepted! As for the whole slots and gil toss, if it can work in-game, it can work in-RP. I'm not exactly sure how Slots works, but with Gil, one gil = 1 damage, as I remember it working in the game. If you can think of something better, that'll do! Also accepted! I'm gonna ask a few people if they're gonna join. Once everything is set after that, the RP will be set to go on December 29!

If you're looking for good spells, Mine spells are a God-send. Spamming Shotlock is also a good idea. But I do agree, that last boss fight does kinda suck.
