Because I won't buy EA's Boring Gimmick 2, and Generic Competitive Shooter with a war history twist? My time and money are better spent elsewhere. At best I would rather play Shadow Warrior 2 and want to.

There's too many games out or almost out at the moment and I want them all. Tyranny might have to take a backseat.

SO and I are playing through dead rising 3. The game has some pretty serious issues with optimization, but I'm having fun with it so far. The plot also goes off the loving rails immediately, which is totally counter to their advertising for the game that I remember.

It's Baldurs Gate with refined gameplay mechanics and a really interesting and unique world and lore built from scratch. I like the games atmosphere and aesthetic as its been presented so far.

Did you see the character creation stuff? Like the whole decide what you did during these conquests look really, really cool.
I'm hoping they've redone some of the party AI stuff after PoE.

I finished Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX last week and since then I have been playing Link Between Worlds, which is a really amazing game. It reminds me so much of every good part of Link to the Past, with so many good additions. The thing where you don't really find items in dungeons is pretty weird, and I wish the Dark World was a little more original and exciting, but the save point/fast travel system is perfect and the 2D wall crawling leads to some really cool puzzles that kinda force you to think outside the box right off the bat. It's fun to just run around and try to find the weird chirping mollusk things or a cave to blow open. The updated music with the weird SNES bleeps and bloops still peppered throughout is exactly what I want to hear. I think I like the Legend of Zelda series a lot. Can't wait to finally get to the 3D games.

I loved A Link Between Worlds, I liked the change in the formula. After seeing Breath of the Wild they definitely want to break out of the Zelda format.

As far as I'm concerned it's worth buying a Switch just for Spla2n, everything else is just icing.

Also it looks really neat.

I'm pretty on-board for the Switch. I haven't bought a Nintendo console at launch in several generations, but really, portable Breath of the Wild really appeals to me. I'm curious to see what other launch titles there will be.

I love my PS Vita. I love it a lot more than my New 3DS. It's comfier and the screen is gorgeous. I just wish it had as many games to take advantage of the hardware. Isaac and Spelunky run fantastically on it, for example.

I don't like this casting decision and also I think she looks like a bland motoko cosplayer :( I'm sure the movie will end up fine but it would've been cool if they cast someone better fitting the role of "japanese cyborg cop" than scarjo

Golden Goat posted:

These characters sure are likable!


In other news I ordered the PS4Pro/ProS4/PS4P/Professional4 so now I just have to decide what games to get first. BB will probably be first despite it taking no advantage of the Pro stuff.

Are those chaos characters? From what I read, the game has characters for "chaos" and "order" and you get the chaos characters by killing everybody during fights and I assume whoever they are are probably hardasses and jerks like that dude.

Yeah I never finished the dlc. After playing BB and DS3, I'm not sure I can ever go back to DS2's terrible feeling combat.

But yeah I should probably fight Fume Knight at some point, since I have like 200 hours in DS2 and still haven't fought the best boss.

I think I like Sir Alonne even better than Fume Knight. Seriously for all the hate people throw at DS2, the DS2 DLC is some of the best content in the entire series by far. You really owe it to yourself to go back and play all 3 DS2 DLCs.

Snak posted:

Also, the people who fav is DS2 can call this a win. I'm redownloading it. Gotta finish those DLCs. Can you believe I have managed to never spoil myself on what Fume Knight even looks like? It's gonna be cool to see him for the first time after hearing about him for literally years.

I'm not at all sure the movie will end up fine :ohdear: I'm getting serious Lucy vibes from it and that movie was unbelievable garbage, the worst movie I've seen in years. GITS is really amazing stuff and if they just do a generic Hollywood action take on it, its gonna make me really really sad. And that's what it looks like.

At least in GITS if she turns into a USB it'll make a bit more sense.

Lucy is a movie with an okay premise (what if the "you only use 10% of your brain" thing was actually true) that they hosed up hard by making the effects of the character gaining more brainpower really dumb (things like being able to time travel, turn into nanites??, becoming the raw ghostly electronic essence of technology).
