Bully has the whole "time management school life" thing that Persona does though. Doesn't it? I swear I remember having to decide whether I'd go to class or go do a prank or whatever.

Last Story has a bit of a bland... uh... story... but the gameplay is really neat I thought.

I thought the Witcher card game just came out on PS4, but when I went to download it just now it says "March 28". :confused:

edit: also the sony store seems to think i own Titanfall 2? i don't remember buying it? did i get a free game or buy it while i was on acid or something?

a lot of the iconic youth fashion trends ppl associate with japan and by extension stylistic choices that like their bands and game designers make are just the result of a few decades of divergent evolution among japanese fanboys of american or european culture

yeah that's what i was getting at when i was talking of how it's weird/frustrating that the punk rock doctor literally never once mentions punk culture or music (neither does Ryuji even!)

Yoh Yoshinori, one of the greatest animators in Japan, is a MASSIVE westaboo. If you've seen any Gainax anime like Gunbuster, Evangelion, Gurren Lagann, or FLCL, you've probably seen his stuff. The whole Asuka fight from End of Evangelion was mostly animated by him, for example, as well as most action scenes from Gurren Lagann and FLCL, and a lot of stuff from Panty And Stocking With Garterbelt. He's a king of fights, kineticism, and explosions; he's a master of giving physical feeling and weight to animation which is particularly hard to do.

He's the guy basically any animation studio calls on when they need a climactic moment animated in an incredible, movie-quality way in a relatively short period of time. This is a video of parts he has animated all on his own for all sorts of things, from Gainax shows to Toy Story bonus videos to Mass Effect animes(?!?), he's been at it for at least 30 years and he's a really cool dude. He just loves the craft, and hand-animates everything.

If you are at all a fan of animation as an art form, it's worth looking at his stuff and noticing what he does that very few others do.

How's Infamous Second Sun? Never played an infamous but I got the impression it was the PS3 Crackdown with dumb fun explosiony combat and orb collecting, is that about right?

It's good, but it's so easy it's downright silly and has less to do than the first two games. It's definitely fun though, just clowning on cops and spray painting dicks everywhere.

First Light is a lot better.

all three power sets in second son are reskins of each other but they all require different sources to recharge which is kind of lame. it would have been cool to be like, for running i want Light, for grenade i want Smoke, etc.

this isn't true, with Smoke you can't run up the sides of buildings, you have to find an air vent to get up on a roof, and there are a lot of other differences (but you're right that they're MOSTLY samey)

I did like the lego movie just a tad more but I felt like batman had a tighter script and better pacing. Legos rule.

When I first played it I had just gotten into the newish XCOM which definitely hurt my appreesh of the game on its own merits

IIRC the bylaws state that in the case of multiple threads the issue is decided by the shitposters; if the shitposters cannot achieve consensus, the matter moves to the trolls; and eventually the mods if necessary and affirmed by a written execution of order from an admin
