Well, that aligns with the vibes I was getting. Which was, like, "normal" kinda vibes.

I Am Setsuna was pretty disappointing and bland so I'm glad to hear there's an actually good SNES-style RPG out there now. I'll definitely pick it up, it sounds pretty great. Also I do have a Vita, so it'll be nice to have it handheld.

A few last nuggets: Characters that have a high enough Style (stat that increases in battle) can survive a fatal blow by going into the negatives and can be healed before dying. Dead characters still receive full exp from a battle. Losing a battle gives you the chance to retry, but it hasn't done the best job of signalling tough battles so remember to save. Opening a chest doesn't just give you the boilerplate "You found a potion" notice, it has more flavor and information. "Inside the chest was a pair of Sun Shades. These specs for Dave increase his cunning" or something like that. It's nice because you immediately know if you should check it out in the menu or let it ride. Also, since items are persistent, once-per-battle sorts of things, you don't have chests down long paths that are full of something you could have bought for a handful of G. Finding a potion was a big deal, and you have limited space for items so it's kind of like a load-out where you may decide to swap out a poison-inducing item for a rust-causing one if you find yourself in Geno Dome.

I can't believe how mad people are getting over that Mario Rabbids game lol

I just hate the Rabbids. They are no way in particular charming or anything. For a while I was worried that Rayman would be just left in the dust. I mean you remember the first Rabbids game had him and then the others took him out, it looked like it spelled Mascot death for him. Thankfully Rayman Origins and Legends disproved that.

Granted I"m not mad, I'm just like hahah yeah nope this isn't a purchase for me. I really dont' wanna hear that BAAAHHHHHH sound again.

Deviously smart. Mario to grab the like 30-40 year old people who give a gently caress about Mario, and Rabbids to grab their kids.

I'm playing through Witcher 3 now and avoiding anything Gwent related like the plague.

Well, I guess I'm in the middle of getting Zoltan some cards to pay off his deck but that's it.

Gwent is great but playing it against real try-hard people instead of brain-dead AI will probably suck all the fun out of it for me.

Genius Far Cry designer walks into design meeting. On the board are the words "whites kill minorities". He strolls up to the board, draws curved arrows between "whites" and "minorities" and walks out of the room to the sound of thunderous applause
