It's the Final Countdown.
Still waiting on Trails SC. Other than that, it doesn't look like much is coming my way this month in terms of games I wish to play.


I'm debating on preordering Rodea the Sky Soldier, but I'm on the fence about it.

The last we heard of SNK Playmore, they had been acquired by Chinese company Leyou Millenium. This left fans wondering what the future of the company's fighting game IPs held.

"Our company is a Pachinko Slot maker, but we're also video game developers. We'd like to work hard to make video game fans into Pachinko Slot fans."

seriously you can't make Pachinko fun or enjoyable in a videogame.

it's like making a slot machine simulator. Most Modern P-Machines have some sort of digital interface already to begin with, so a vdieogame doesn't really bring much to it.


Pinball is the only sort of thing that translated well into videogames as did card games.

The Last Remnant is really cool once you understand the combat system and levelling/BattleRank mechanics, especially because there's a turbo setting to speed combat up by like 10x. Basically all games should have this feature but only Last Remnant and Hexyz Force have it

they should pull a fast one on their corporate overlords and make a new KOF arcade machine and just replace the coin-op with pachinko so you put your 200 yen in and sit through the ball part and then get to play. everybody wins

It's better than f2p garbage because at least it's theoretically possible to make money off of gambling and your Facebook feed doesn't get spammed by pachinko machines when your friends play them.

There's a bunch of japanese pachinko commercials that have for decades tried making the slot games seem hip and with it. Nobody likes it except old people.

FF12 IZ has it, only it works anywhere in the game, not just combat. It rules.

Since FF12HD won't be released at all on PC I'm betting on the former.

I hope you guys like getting gambling games and pachinko games on Steam because that's what many of the Japanese devs want to bring to the table.

The animations are terrible, the voice acting is terrible, the city levels are all just giant hallways, the only part of the story that ever actually works is when you bust out of the prison and it turns out you're in UNATCO HQ, the "stealth" relies on enemies that are more retarded than the goombas in SMB and man-sized grates acting like transit systems in top-secret facilities, the only projectile weapon that is the least bit satisfying to use is the sniper rifle that is useless until you're halfway through the game and even then you're using it to zoom in on terribly-animated retards you could just as easily walk up to and karate chop, Unreal Engine 1, the main character has nothing resembling an arc, and the multiple endings are basically the same "press X for Ending 1" poo poo everyone bitched about in Human Revolution. All of that made a 7.5/10 game in 2000 and it hasn't gotten better since.
