Isn't That Right, Chairman?



Valkyrie Profile had a combo-esque system though?

And it's been a while since I've played it, but I'm pretty sure it had blocking mechanics.

Never played Valkyrie Chronicles but had a blast with the Indivisible thing and happily sent them my thirty bucks a month ago, so glad it looks like they'll make it. 40K to go!

Also, goddamn Liam was kinda annoying this week on the podcast, probably just buildup from how far he goes with the censorship arguments which made me more annoyed at him, but his principle leading to buying dead or alive extreme 3 twice is awful, and of course just One Guy saying a thing started a shitstorm, it's that guy's job! He managed the Play Asia social media, offered a plan to make money off a "controversy" and higher ups gave the okay for that guy to use their brand as opinion leaders in their niche to get people riled up and buy a product through them. It works because the person running that knows how that social media works.

The One Guy he was referring to was TK Man, not PA. His point was "I wish that guy had kept his mouth shut," because it kicked off a gigantic pile of idiocy.

Also let's be real Liam isn't buying that poo poo because of the dustup, he was going to do that anyway because he's a crazy person.

Nothing in VP was timing based, it was just an RPG.

A couple moves required timing inputs (One move had you time it just as you're about to attack to get behind the enemy), and juggling is most definitely a timing aspect.

I know you hate anything with an ATB, so why am I bothering.

I don't remember that all but it definitely wasn't as involved as Indivisible (which, to be fair, is about as far as possible from finalized so whatever). Well I will say this, Indivisible doesn't have that loving breakable weapons mechanic! Worst part of VP, that.

Also what, I love FF5, 7, and 9. And I'm positive on a number of the others.

There are good ATB games and bad ones. FFX-2 is a bad one. Indivisible isn' t something I like but it's really well made.

E: of course even if FFX-2 was a strategy RPG created over a decade by Matsuno and a handpicked team, that wouldn't save that story

I don't understand his logic behind buying two copies. He said one is for the channel, but I'm sure Matt would let him keep it after whatever video they make if he just asked. It's not like he expressed much interest in playing it on his own.

It also felt like no one else really wanted to engage in the conversation with him and just let him rant, though I could just be reading too much into it.

^^he wants a vita copy to play on his own and a real console one to gently caress with and unlock everything asap for the vid I guess

To be fair if he was gonna import it anyway it's not like there's many decent options other than play Asia.

Now all they have to do is finish development and deliver a completed game without running out of money, getting hosed over by their publisher, or having anyone or anything get burned down, arrested or deported. But hey, given how quickly and smoothly Skullgirls development went, what are the odds of any of that happening...?

They're going to run out of money mid development then get C+D'd by people we've never heard of before somehow.

Honestly? I don't appreciate anyone stirring that pot once again just to drum up sales for a bad game. Everything surrounding the gamergate debacle is the stupidest poo poo and leads to absurd amounts of harassment, and a company dragging that nonsense back up because no press is bad press is very unprofessional and shouldn't be rewarded.

Exactly. If he had just bought it, fine, Liam like his dumb fanservice poo poo anyway, it'd be perfect for him. But to specifically do it from a company who is specifically behind people who harass devs just because they're women, that's a lovely move and isn't just to be written off as "oh that Liam has some wacky opinions".
