No, the cat walks away before the cutscene is over and the guy makes a gesture like "no, don't go :saddowns:"

but that's ok because cats are immortal dodge timing gods in revengeance anyway



edit: Oh the guy, I misread that. yeah he is forced to fight you with the rest of them and is chopped up. that is the true sad feeling. That said, you don't have to kill anyone during that segment so hey you can be a pacifist if you want.

edit again: Lol in fact I think you get an automatic s-rank on that segment if you don't kill anyone and don't take damage, so it's beneficial to let the cat man live

Actually that guy dies in a cutscene, there's no way to spare him even if you're using the wooden sword.

That's not uncommon, although I personally think Link To The Past has much better bosses and dungeons.

i have words to say about lttp but basically all of them can be boiled down to it being a perfectly fine game that i ultimately didn't care for much at all, but i can appreciate it a lot cause drat it is improving on some rough design

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


I finally fixed whatever was causing DS3 to crash to a black screen whenever I tried to exit the game. I loaded up my char and then was wombo comboed to death while trying to remember why run/dodge are on the same button. The definitive souls experience.

Links Awakening is some good poo poo and a real good handheld Zelda. Hope it gets a sequel like LTTP to fix the console constraints (like the only thing approaching an issue).

even if they brought the team over whole hog having to recreate an entire game engine entirely from scratch that took 4-odd years to build the first time around is not something trivial to do

How is Rain World? Game looks gorgeous, but I heard it has some frustrating / bad mechanics.

The negative criticism are 100% accurate but I'm also liking it for some reason even though my tastes tend to reflect aggregate metacritic scores. Slugcat should be renamed as Sluggish Cat because of how clumsy he controls when he's trying to enter screen transitions and you can totally get screwed by RNG because everytime you die monster spawns are shuffled. That said it was fun sharing discoveries with lets hang out in IRC last night. Early game discussions when stuff hasn't been thorougly datamined and spreadsheeted on gamefaqs is fun at first and it captures that

I like it a lot. Three zones in, haven't really gotten frustrated with it yet. No shortage of deaths but they're almost always educational in some way. Game doesn't explain itself at all so you either need to pay really close attention or be willing to go looking for tips online

Finished Nier: Automata. Conclusion: good game, do buy if you enjoy at least one of 1) platinum games games 2) jrpgs 3) weird games.

I see Rain World finally released, I followed it around the kickstarter and it looked fun, has anyone given it a try?

Like I can see this being a disappointment at $60 when it came out but for $15 or so in a flash sale from last weekend I'm hells of digging it. It's basically Clan of the Cave Bear: The Game. Whipping a spear into some dude's face is surprisingly satisfying.

At some point in April I am (hopefully) going to finally be getting a new job that will probably involve a lot of travel and severely limit my time for console games. I'm just hoping I have enough time to beat Persona 5 before that starts up.

I'm sorry about your job, I hope you're able to find something quickly. Persona 5 is a good way to help with the stress of losing a job.

I'm going to pre-order Persona 5 this weekend on PSN.

Thank you for the heads up. I'm good either way since my state already charges sales tax. My pay day is next week but it all goes towards rent since I decided living within a major city was a great idea.

With all this Nier: A talk I feel like I should play my 360 copy of Nier. That would involve digging out my 360 and finding my controller. Is there any difference between the PS3 and 360 versions? Does one perform better than the other? My PS3 is still hooked up and I much prefer that controller. I think I'd be willing to sell my 360 copy and buy it for PS3.

I don't think there's a difference unless you're in Japan, in which case Nier is a pretty bishie boy and Yonah is his sister instead of daughter.
