I just gotta say, if you’re actually Drawing magic from enemies then you’re doing it wrong, you chumps! Just kidding. But seriously, magic refining from items is where it’s at! (1 dino bone into 20 Quakes? Yes please!) Plus with Card Mod, you can turn the best minigame ever into a source of magic to power up your…

Holy great lineup, Batman! I’ve been meaning to play both of those PS4 games!

They are like the Marvel movies of video games and I can’t explain it any better than that.

I’m playing Trails in the Sky 3 right now and loving how it jumps right into the story, killing my biggest complaint about the series that it starts too slowly! And the characters are all better than Rean of Cold Steel, the most generically anime protagonist of any game I’ve played in recent memory.

Couldn’t get into playing it competitively myself, but I do enjoy watching it during EVO!

Vincent’s reactions to things early on aren’t really reflective of the final morals though, since he starts out as a horrible horrible person, so I think it’s reasonable to give it a shot and not start pointing fingers at Atlus for being intolerant until we see how the rest of the story plays out (which it still could…

Expositioningness is a word I made up to describe how Naoto shows up late in the game to primarily explain the plot and propel the investigation forward. As a result, she gets a lot of dialogue lines at the back end of the game when she joins the party. This is contrasted with Haru, who also joins the party late, but…

Solid choice in banner picture for the list, good sir!

That interrogation was tense! I almost wanted them to have it be a “Did we just become best friends, yep!” moment of friendship, but would’ve been way too ridiculous. Ridiculously awesome, that is.

I can’t wait to pick this up in the future when they finish the game/story

That’s kinda what happened in our first hunt! We were taking on a small-ish lizard when it starts limping away. Suddenly, out of the corner comes a T. rex that just starts chomping down Jurassic Park style. The 5 strikes later, our prey was vanquished!

The demo gave you preset things, so I didn’t pay any attention to all the crafting stuff. I just grabbed a big sword and went to town (forest, desert, etc.)!

Put a few hours into the beta this past weekend with some buddies and it was a blast! Watching dinos suddenly pop into screen and fight each other is amazing

I love coming back to a hard game years later only to find out how much better at it I am!

I played this game a few weeks after reading your last article on it (Had to mentally prepare myself, haha)

Currently accepting applications for a cute name for the Team Arrow Most Valuable Player of the week.

Ah yeah, they’re bringing along the announcer who spouts out epic nonsense! That’s how you know it’s a Soul Calibur game!

Dang, sounds like they fell really hard into the “bigger/more complicated = deeper” trap that instead makes it unnecessarily more convoluted, which really reminds me of the first game (which I found just okay) but somehow with even less direction.

Get that man a shield! To go with his beard

And now the opening song is stuck in my head.
