User:Element Knight 375/Gaming Forum

Hello, visitors and members! My nickname is Element Knight 375, an avid fan of Game Ideas Wiki. I'm the writer of several pages, such as The Element Chronicles, and I have been in communication with executive members, such as Ouroburos,TheNewSaurian and Geniusguy445, regarding my work and whether I could join.

Geniusguy graciously extended a personal invitation to create an account and join the community, but I convinced him to let me stay anonymous from an official standpoint for security reasons. However, I provided a nickname, Element Knight 375, for them to address me by, and shortly afterward they gave me permission to establish this, a Discussion Page, for people to give their opinions on once-a-day questions through the extremely quick, extremely easy, and extremely informal process of editing. And even now, after creating an account, I continue to expand it, and you great contributors out there keep responding!

So here's how this works: for every day I visit the site, I will come on to this page, type that day's date, and post a question for that day, regarding everything from what game you would want made the most, from a good bout of "Who would win in a fight?". If you are intrigued by a question, just click "Edit Page" at the top next to the title, scroll down to the question you want to answer, start a paragraph, and then make up a nickname for yourself. This name can be on-the-spot or established, but you don't have to make an account. From there, you just write up your answer, hit publish, and then it's open to the public. If your answer is really good, then I, Element Knight, or some of the executive contributors might respond to it. If you have a question you'd like me to ask, go to the bottom and post a comment for it (also account-free). Are you ready? Here goes!

February
02/02/13: Who's your favorite Street Fighter character?

02/03/13: Which do you prefer as a series, Final Fantasy or The Elder Scrolls? 02/09/13: Do you prefer puzzle games or adventure games?
 * Since I've had more experience and comfort of playing Final Fantasy games, I'll go with the thing in question, although while I was staying with my dad who was staying with his brother (named Mandai, now deceased. May God rest his soul in peace) I picked up a few perks from watching my cousin, also named Mandai, play The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion then me playing it... I hope my cousin is okay. <=( "I am the one who will surpass God!!!!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 21:56, February 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I have enormous respect for the Final Fantasy, but I have very little experience with them, while I've always really enjoyed playing Elder Scrolls games, from Morrowind to Oblivion and to Skyrim especially.  So, as a series, I enjoy Elder Scrolls more, but I think Final Fantasy is really cool.  "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!"

 * Puzzle, but not by much. I don't love either. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

02/13/13: What singleplayer game do you think could have incorporated a great multiplayer experience as well?

02/14/13: Who would win in a fight, Connor from Assassin's Creed III or Captain Falcon from F-Zero? 02/20/13: Are you looking forward to the release of the PlayStation 4?
 * I don't know who Connor is, so I say Captain Falcon. :) "FALCON PUUUUUUUUUUNCH!!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 16:10, February 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Here, you can find out with this link I'm about to show you...ah-CHOO.  ANYway, I think I go with Captain Falcon as well, since he has the Falcon Punch, and is able to compete with a cast of characters who can probably beat Connor.  "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:02, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes... unlike some people. >_> [[Image:xtranormalgeek gif.gif|50px]] You've just been geek'd. 15:47, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * I actually am kind of looking forward to its release; the main reason I'm not excited yet is because I don't have many details on it.  I didn't see the actual announcement, so until they're made public, I probably won't be overly aware of what it has to offer.  The controller looks cool though, from the picture I saw.

02/21/13: What's your favorite third installment in any game series?

02/22/13: What's your favorite first level in a video game? 02/23/13: Which do you prefer, Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter? 02/25/13: Who would win in a fight, Sonic the Hedgehog or Marth from Fire Emblem?
 * I'll have to go with World 1-1 from the original Super Mario Bros. ComicReadingGamer(talk) 08:55, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's actually the level that inspired this question.  I love that level too.  Although, I think my favorite first level would have to be Tropical Resort - Act 1 from Sonic Colors.  It's the first level of Sonic I ever played and completed, and I love going back and replaying it for the atmosphere. "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 21:15, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * Street Fighter is a fighting-genre francise where fighters beat each other senseless while hip-hop and alternate play in the background, which would be perfect for Pokemon. Mortal Kombat is a darker kind of fighting game where you can explictly execute the opponent, which would be perfect for Happy Tree Friends (LOL!! ^_^). So, I'll go with Street Fighter, since that is the series I'm most familiar with. "ANIME EEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!! >X3" Ethanthegamer (talk) 21:58, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * No contest here; Mortal Kombat of course! FATALITY!!!! ComicReadingGamer (talk) 18:23, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * It's really kind of a tie for me.  I grew up with the old, old Mortal Kombat games, and I grew to be really fond of the epic story and colorful characters.  But Street Fighter seems like a really solid fighting game, and more importantly, it's less graphic.  I could probably say that I would like Mortal Kombat to be more like Street Fighter, and then I would prefer it.  Still, I'm terrible at fighting games, so I have no particular preference in terms of gameplay.

 * Hmm... That's a toughy. :/ "Dipper: I decapitated Larry King." Ethanthegamer (talk) 16:39, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * I go with Sonic all day.  His speed can probably win him just about any fight, and it's impossible to keep up with him, so he controls just about every battle.  "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:48, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

02/26/13: Do you enjoy watching videos about gaming?
 * "Fo sho!" ^_^ "Dipper: I decapitated Larry King." Ethanthegamer (talk) 16:39, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * I absolutely love videos about gaming.  They're the main reason I go on the Internet, aside from wikis.  Some of my favorites include PeanutButterGamer, JonTron, and the Yogscast, plus various gaming OST.  "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:48, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Depends on what the topic is. Seananners plays The Hidden and Trouble in Terrorist Town, and is hilarious. I've seen play throughs and reviews and game sessions, and enjoy whichever ones are funny. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

02/27/13: What's your favorite wiki other than Game Ideas Wiki?
 * I'm not really sure, but here's a wiki I've been going to recently: Poof! "Dipper: I decapitated Larry King." Ethanthegamer (talk) 16:39, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think my second favorite wiki is The Game Reviews Wiki.  It doesn't receive that much attention, but it's the first wiki I ever founded, and it serves as a great way for me to give my opinions on games. "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:21, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * @ETG Gravity Falls ^_^ Uh. For wikis...I don't really like an other wikis too much. I barely spend time at this one. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

02/28/13: What video game character do you most identify with?
 * This is a tough one. I'm not sure, to be real honest. If I was forced to pick, I'd say Jak from the Jak and Daxter series. Mainly because he has a tough skin, had a dry sense of humor and never knew his father. Yes... I never knew my real father. ._. I am my own person. 05:04, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ouch...sorry about that, man.  Well...I guess my answer might be Link from Skyward Sword, Sonic the Hedgehog, or Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles.  It's more of a combination of the three, really, because some things about me are: I live a rather unusual and simple life, but I have a number of goals, and I'm not always sure what will happen to me next.  But regardless, I always stand against injustice, and I try to maintain a positive, friendly, and problem-solving attitude no matter what challenges face me.  "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!"

03/02/13: Would you be interested in seeing an official Sonic Adventure 3 released?
 * Yes, I'd love to see a sequel to the original Sonic Adventure series! ^_^ ...And that MAY be possible, considering the impossible is becoming the possible these days. And we all know about the announcement of PlayStation 4 by now. :D "Must! Milk! To! Digimon Adventure for PSP!!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 13:42, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * If Sega were to actually released Sonic Adventure 3, with songs by Crush 40 and Adventure-style gameplay, it would make my year, whatever year it was.  It's easily the most requested Sonic title, and I easily see why.  It would be the most amazing game in the series if they did it right.

03/03/13: Who's your favorite Tekken character?

03/04/13: Who's your favorite sidekick in a video game?

03/05/13: What's your favorite gravity-based game?
 * Gravity, or physics in general? Genius Guy #445 (talk)
 * Physics in general.  Take my favorite, Sumotori Dreams, for example.  It's a wrestling-based game, but it's difficult to walk even a little bit without starting to fall down.  You have to look it up and see it to understand it, but you probably know what I mean by physics-based now. "It looks like Oddjob!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:23, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

03/06/13: Which do you prefer, Super Meat Boy or The Impossible Game?

03/07/13: What's your favorite point-and-click game?
 * ...Runescape? I don't like point and click. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Me neither, but the King's Quest and Monkey Island games look kind of cool. "It looks like Oddjob!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:23, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

03/08/13: Who would win in a fight, Dark Link or Metal Sonic?
 * Considering I sort-of haven't played a game that has Dark Link (maybe in Ocarina of Time 3D, I don't remember) I'm gonna go with Metal Sonic. "Must! Milk! To! Digimon Adventure for PSP!!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 13:42, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * I would probably go with Dark Link.  He can block anything Metal Sonic could throw at him using the Hylian Shield, and he could use the Master Sword or any of his other items to destroy Metal Sonic easily.

03/09/13: What's your favorite New Super Mario Bros. game?

03/10/13: Which game do you like better, Super Mario Sunshine or Pikmin 2?
 * Since I haven't played Pikmin 2, I'm gonna go with Super Mario Sunshine. "Must! Milk! To! Digimon Adventure for PSP!!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 13:42, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * I haven't played either, honestly, but they seem equally good.  In terms of look, I'm thinking Pikmin 2, because it just looks more like my kind of game. "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 06:02, March 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sunshine. Pikman is meh. If you really compare them, they're quite different genres, but whatever. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I really just went with those two because they're both well-known GameCube games. Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:23, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

03/11/13: What's the most hilarious glitch you've ever seen in a video game?
 * I actually don't remember if I had encountered such a glitch, but I'm gonna go with IDK. :/ "Must! Milk! To! Digimon Adventure for PSP!!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 13:42, March 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, there are a number of hysterical glitches in Sonic '06, but I haven't played that.  So here's one I have encountered: in Star Wars Bounty Hunter, there is a level where you can have Jango Fett climb halfway up a ladder, with melee enemies coming to the bottom of the ladder attempting to attack him; since Jango auto-targets enemies nearby, so if you have him sit in the middle of the ladder with a couple enemies below, he starts waving his arms like crazy trying to target them.  Amazing.  "No copyright law in the universe is going to stop me!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 06:02, March 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * K. In GoldenEye for wii, there's this one section where you enter a bathroom above a stall, and knock out a guy who's doing his business. What happened, was there was a similar hole above an empty stall beside him. We decided to fall down that. We opened the door, and tried to crouch away so he wouldn't notice. However, he came out, shot at us briefly, the alarms of being spotted went off, and then he spontaneously died. HE. SPONTANEOUSLY. DIED. SPONTANEOUSLY. wat. Heck, my brother and I have seen funnier, but that one sticks out in my mind. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * That does sound pretty hysterical, actually.  It makes me wonder if there are any hilarious glitches in the original GoldenEye, since that one's lower-tech. Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:23, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

03/15/13: Do you think there should be a handheld Xbox console?

03/16/13: Who would win in a fight, Black Mage from Final Fantasy or Ganon from the original Legend of Zelda?
 * Magic vs. might. Hmmm... It's like hikari (light) against yami (darkness): it's never ending! ...Though, in terms in height, however, Ganon would crush Black Mage like a boss. :D "Veemon SHINKAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!! ExVeemon!" Ethanthegamer (talk) 02:03, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * I think it's a pretty tough choice.  The way I see it, Ganondorf is devious, but I think Black Mage is just as devious, and on top of that, he's crafty, and I think he holds back some of his true power.  In all, I think he would probably outdo Ganon. "It looks like Oddjob!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 04:14, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

03/17/13: What's your favorite jungle/forest level in any game?
 * DKC Returns is near all jungle/forest. :) Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd say my favorite would either be Faron Woods from any of The Legend of Zelda games, or Green Forest from Sonic Adventure 2 for dat music. "It looks like Oddjob!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:23, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

03/18/13: What's your favorite smartphone game?
 * Too many good ones. One trending is 4 pix and a word. Or Plague Inc has a free to play. Both are superb. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * I have very little experience with smartphone games, but one that I remember loving was Fruit Ninja, because I always enjoy a test of reflexes. "It looks like Oddjob!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:23, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

03/19/13: What's your favorite gaming controller?
 * Probably the Xbox controller. PS controllers are terrible, Nintendo controllers are ok, but Xbox controllers are the nicest. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * I tend to like controllers equally, but I agree that Xbox controllers are best.  They feel very comfortable and well-put-together.  Although, I also love SNES and N64 controllers. "It looks like oddjob!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:23, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

03/23/13: Which do you like better, Kid Icarus: Uprising, or the original Kid Icarus?
 * Uprising, all the way. It's funnier, easier to play, more addicting, has multiplayer, is funnier and better than the original. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've never played Uprising, but all in all, I think I would like the original Kid Icarus better even if I played the other one.  The original seems a lot more tactical and skill-based to me, and theat's just my kind of game.  That's why I love Sonic and Mario games so much. "It looks like Oddjob!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:23, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

03/24/13: Would you ever like to see another Mario game similar to Super Mario Bros. 2?
 * In Subcon? No, not really. Genius Guy #445 (talk)  21:38, April 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, I might like to see one like SMB2, but more polished.  The original seemed a little bit too strange to me. "It looks like Oddjob!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 05:23, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

03/28/13: Who would win in a fight, Silver the Hedgehog or Shulk from Xenoblade Chronicles?
 * I'll go with Silver since I don't know who Shulk is. "The nostalgia...it hurts so good..." Ethanthegamer (talk) 03:04, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * Shulk is the wielder of the Monado, and incredibly powerful sword, and he's practically at godly status.  But, he has a vulnerable human form, and considering the history Silver has with being able to freeze even the most powerful of beings in their tracks, he would probably be able to conquer Shulk.  But, it's a very hard decision. "It looks like Oddjob!" Element Knight 375 (talk) 03:46, April 11, 2013 (UTC)

03/29/13: What do you think of the Crash Bandicoot series?
 * Frankly, it really identical to the Spyro the Dragon series. They both have similar gameplay, they both got their copyrights hand to them...two times, they both are bestial in a way, etc.. "The nostalgia...it hurts so good..." Ethanthegamer (talk) 03:04, April 8, 2013 (UTC)

03/30/13: Who's your favorite character in the Donkey Kong series?

April
04/03/13: What's your most triumphant moment in a video game (a remarkable feat, not just finishing a hard game)?

04/05/13: What's your favorite in-game reward you've gotten for completing a game?

04/07/13: What's your reaction to Disney's shutdown of LucasArts? 04/10/13: What's your favorite city level in any game?
 * No offense, but I'm not really a fan of their movies, but I'm pretty damn sure to the very highest of my abilities...that the fandom is going to be wearing some good damn balls... I'm scared. Hold me. :(((((((( "The nostalgia...it hurts so good..." Ethanthegamer (talk) 03:04, April 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * I must say, even though I try to keep calm about stuff like this, I am pissed by the fact that Disney just shut down LucasArts.  It's not enough that they just shutter the company with the snap of a finger, but they know that if they had actually considered servicing their fans and making games they actually WANTED, the Star Wars franchise could have been known for its video games again, and it would have meant a landfall for Disney.  I ask you, why didn't they just green-light Star Wars Battlefront III?  Or Star Wars Bounty Hunter 2?  Or Star Wars Podracer 2?  Those three games would have made them literally HUNDREDS of millions of dollars, and yet they just decide to close LucasArts down after a matter of decades of love from its fans.  Not cool, Disney.
