Xenoblade 2 is pretty fun and at this point people may as well sit on 1 so they can play it without the muddy Wii graphics.

yeah you should really wait for xenoblade 1 switch if you're gonna play it cause the new character models alone are leagues better than the stiff old wii ones

I like Vesperia but it's real dated. Xenoblade 2 is absolute garbage though. Terrible combat, worse writing and loving faux gacha systems.

Xenoblade 2 is very divisive, but I enjoyed it and the Torna dlc is really good. One thing everyone will agree on though is that Monolith Soft can't make a drat decent menu to save their lives. If you have the "must have everything" brain worms the gacha system will be frustrating, though.

the gamestop order trip report: wild arms 4 and mmx command mission were disc only shadow hearts 3, grandia 3, romancing saga, mana khemia, radiata stories all came in original case but the discs inside were still in an envelope because that's basically how gamestop does it considering gamestop has maybe one year left before they're either bought out, go toy/comic-only, or shutter entirely, i'm gonna try to fill out my collection in 2020... but much like with amazon sellers it's gonna be a little bit of roulette with the disc quality/readability

Given he literally uses the same line whenever he feels like not working on a non-union project it was definitely Baker doing the union solidarity thing and not Bamco being cheap. The result is still the same of course but he simply didn't want to do it as he's a core spokesperson for the union.

i like how berseria's primary means of fixing the combat is "we gave the main character the ability to completely ignore the most annoying aspects of it with a button press"

cheetah7071 posted:I probably spent a full year crafting poo poo to beat the superbosses Oh mind you, I loved the game and it is definitely my favorite of the trilogy, I just rush every game I play after a certain point(unless they're extremely short) and it happened that this time there was a very long segment to blast past. I feel that this would be the one that I'd replay to get more side story stuff and a larger synthesis completion, if I ever consider doing something like that.

Stops the disc popping out in transit and getting scratched as it bounces in the case due to rough handling.

It’s hilarious in battle when you use new and old moves and get this tonal whiplash. Judith’s new actor is even worse. She doesn’t bother trying to sound like the original voice. Patty and all the returning cast from the original dub are fine. And yet the voice acting in Vesperia is still way better than XB2. It's like they did 2 takes without any direction and took the least bad one. Goddamn that was some terrible VA.

Vesperia only has a good rep because all the JRPG dorks owned PS3s when it came out, and built up a myth around "the best Tales game you've NEVER played!!" i played it at launch, it's exactly as mediocre as the rest of the franchise, as always with some fun character writing and a moronic plot full of technobabble. and this is from someone who legit enjoys the PS2 version of Abyss. it also had the Symphonia advantage of being the first Tales game a lot of people played, and the shared flaws of the series aren't nearly as noticeable in that context, especially when you're busy losing it over the fresh new battle system.

It's an obvious pattern. He flat out doesn't want to do non-union work and is using likely a union fed line to keep from facing blowback from the fans.

Pyra's issue isn't really her voice acting (it's fine) but the fact her fanservice design doesn't really fit her character which is an issue in both languages.

The lack of cutscenes or the visual novel approach instead of walking around? As great as the cutscenes are I really stopped noticing it after awhile.

losing out on the walking around kinda sucks but the og writing in persona 3 has really bad lows compared to femc where you can avoid the worst of it. most of the social links exclusive to male mc are only entertaining for how hilariously bad they are big fan of the guy whose entire arc is going from "i want to gently caress my teacher" to "i guess you just cant have sex with your teacher" The Colonel fucked around with this message at 05:19 on Dec 1, 2019 |

The blocking and framing of the character models showing is what I'm missing from my SMT fest. It's only really noticeable as a big flaw for me in P3 because it is arguably the most backloaded rpg ever, with 90% of the game's actual story in the last few months.

Like every female Social Link only having a romance path, so you're stuck cheating on multiple girls whether you like it or not and nobody stopped to question this during development. (Wasn't the reason given something lovely like "Boys being platonic friends with girls? What an absurd idea!  ")
