Same. I wonder if the controls are really swimmy and it makes it hard to know when to dodge or who you're attacking, but I hope that after a few hours it clicks. I'd like one video of "high level" FFXV play to show me how it's supposed to look.

The controls are pretty simple and fluid but you need to be pretty comfortable with your attack animations because you can't really cancel stuff quickly or easily. At least from the judgement demo. I think people will grow into it over the course of the game

I think the teleport attack is going to be way more of a core mechanic than people expect and no one seems to use it.

Platinum demo doesn't play quite like the final game, though they seem to be pushing wait mode pretty hard and you can't see that outside of streams atm. They even added a skill tree for it in the day one patch.

God drat that looks fun. And yeah, teleport strikes like crazy--that's definitely the core mechanic.

Apparently the spellcrafting system can get pretty crazy. Spells share cooldowns like abilities in Mass Effect (use one spell, all of them go on cooldown) but they can also get stupid powerful. Also they apparently have friendly fire?

From that video that was posted, it looks like the damage to your allies is pretty minimal, but it does stun them. I'm going to have a lot of fun roasting and freezing Prompto.

They do, your bros do not appreciate being blown up. They don't take full damage though, they might just be incapacitated for a bit. In one of that guy's videos you can see him using an Ignis ability that regroups everyone away from enemies and heals them, it's really helpful for getting magic off without hitting them. Positioning is a big deal in ff15.

Oh cool, I didn't see that Ignis ability. That's pretty sweet.

Now I'm extra bummed that I probably won't be able to play until January. I could buy it on launch but then I'd only have two weeks to play before I leave for two weeks of Christmas traveling that I can't bring my PS4 along for, so I'm probably just going to hold off until I get back :negative:

I remember, kinda. I think I was more interested in Digimon as a concept at the time, but I didn't have either of them. The stupid digital pet I had was... uh, "Dinky Dino" I think.

I wish I had gotten an actual tamagotchi, in retrospect, because that seems to be the one that ended up having the most "depth", and now I understand too much about finite state machines to be able to give a poo poo about digital pets :v:

The new Pokemon is pretty good! The presentation's amazing, I never actually thought a Pokemon game would feel fresh and new to me again. I picked Popplio, then caught a bird (Pikipek) who I named after Palpek and the Donald Trump pokemon, which is somehow cute while being petted.

I am also curious about the giant robots game.

I'm gonna try out Fusions tonight, but then I'm probably gonna shelf it until I finish pokemon later this week. Then I'll probably play Fusions in earnest, before returning to Pokemon to start breeding and doing postgame/online crap. I love collecting monsters, and gokus.

That giant dude only got off like five attacks in the whole video.

I hope the enemies in the actual game are a bit less docile, unless this video's an anomaly and he usually doesn't just stand there.

Nothing about the platinum demo is representative of the final game, it's really bad. If you want to get an idea of what it really plays like spend a few minutes to set up a jp psn account and download the judgement disc demo.

I am also enjoying Pokémon Moon, it shakes things up a bit and feels fresh. It also feels like it was not meant for an old 3ds, because the lag is real.

I do really miss the Dexnav from omega ruby though. This chain battling thing is ok, but Dexnav was more fun. It also clearly showed at a glance how well you were doing at catching everything on a route. I just beat the first island so maybe this functionality comes later?

Also i would like a Pikachu if anyone has an extra one! I put up an Abra in the GTS.

No, no, Brigador didn't say they wouldn't go on sale, they said they wouldn't drop their asking price. There's a difference, and the sale was planned.

That said, ergh on them dropping to 50% off so quickly. The game is very good and I hope it sells well for them!
