I don't know how yo uare currently selecting the topic and posts of the week, but a tweak in the system might be needed (in my eyes atleast) While this weeks topic is healpful for our Euro friends last weeks was meh. I have not checked out either as they did not seem interesting at all.

And as for the post of the week.....this weeks......a guy saying he'd rather play Fire Emblem.....How insightful.

Maybe break it up and have a helpful topic of the week, and a testing are topic of the week(Everyone loves the testing area), and throw in a third for anything super interesting(A good poll something off topic, or people leaving the site.) if it pops up.

And maybe do the same with the posts. I quite frankly don't care if heat man prefers fire emblem, now if he said why, or added something relevant it may be different, but a dude just saying I prefer fire emblem.....not exactly attention grabbing.

Sorry if it came off as harsh critisism, I do like the Post, just some parts i feel could be improved but keep up the work its stuff like this that makes the temp a great place. Kudos.

I understand your points.
But, really, stuff in the Community section is not for debate.
Rather silly, actually. Who honestly cares?
The Temper Post is for video game news, mainly, anyways.
Besides, I do post my reasons why the Topic of the Week should be this, or should be that.

However, if you want to suggest a Post of the Week or Topic of the Week for next week's Post - PM me.

This is a great ideal and its well implemented despite minor imperfections I like it.

Thumbs up and cookies all around to the folks who work diligently to bring this to us GBATempers.

I find that its great in getting me interested in others parts of the forum since I only go in a few places here. I like the HB of the Week review thinger mabob.

Homebrews my favorite.

Sorry if I came off harsh JPH.

I really do love the post, community is the only part that I am not overly interested in, so I just threw out some suggestions.

We all really appreciate the post. Its an awesome read for us regulars, and for those who only swing by once in a while, they get an invaluable run down of the weeks events.

Keep up the good work.

Fantastic work JPH.
As I've been really busy, this is a fantastic compendium of the most important of the week.

Intersting read.. I read TWEWY review and scooted thru to see if Donkey Kong Country REPACK had any info there. About the TWEWY review, I feel missing out on some images and perhaps explain exactly what you do in the game? But by saying it's got lots of customization then it kinda turns me off a bit. But it might be good nevertheless, I'm going to try it later some time.

How the hell did science win the avatar of the week?

Someone is jealous!

 

[jmonee84]

Thanks for the great post. I learned about a bunch of new things.

Awesome review of TWEWY by irpacynot! Well done.

Thanks for the Temper Post JPH. Good stuff.

The World Ends Here is awesome !:yayds:
That homebrew looks nice too, so you can watch all roms?

Little correction to the review. What brand is hot in an area doesn't change the game one bit. Yes it gives a penalty to be on the lowest rank but the game is flawed ( like at many other places concerning game play ) in that you can "influence" this system. With other words you care shit about what is hot and what not since if you make one 4-chain battle the brands you use already jump from bottom to middle and from middle to top scores. Hence there's no sense in worrying about this brand crap at all since after a couple of battles the area is already in your favor. Hence they could have left out this useless feature at all since it adds nothing noteworthy.

Meh...I don't see it that way. Yeah, you can change the trends fairly easily, but it takes more than merely battling with said pins. You do have to change clothes / accessories, as well, if you want it to be a fairly quick process. That said, I think it's a great feature, and since the player will acquire many new pins of varying brands, it's an element that will require you to make frequent adjustments. In any case, there isn't really anything in the game that the player is required to "worry" about. It's a story driven experience, and the gameplay is just really well intertwined with that experience -- a colorful means to an end, if you will.

That's cool if you're sour on the game; it's not for everyone. But it seems like you're knitpicking for the sake of knitpicking.

Sorry to disagree with you there but this is simply not true. I just tried it out. Had been require to get NP hottest brand and it had been the last one. Took exactly 2 four chained battles with two pins of said brand on and it jolted to place 1. I tried also with cloths only which does not work. Hence what cloth you wear does not influence much only what pins you wear. There's no need to switch pins around since after two or at most 3 chained battles the brands you wield are hottest.

And no, I'm neither sour on the game nor am I nitpicking. I just prevent people from getting a dizzy head from messing with their layout all over the place to please trends whereas they could just stick to one layout ( as me ) and jolt through. Nothing wrong with it if people want to fiddle with their outfit. I just name how it is not how people want it to be.

Not sure I see your point, though. So, this element of the game is not valid because it doesn't require excessive grinding to change the trend? If that's your argument, I must say, I'm glad they streamlined it the way they did. The changing of the trends is merely another subtle hint of what this game's grand theme is all about, but it's not the main element of the game, by any means.

Either way...
