Love the new summary graphic. Great distillation and direction but without a play/don’t play command.

Actually, all the comments here made me retrieve the game and set it back in the queue. I didn’t know it could be eased into; I’d only ever heard the wails of players who had lost their team member and it sounded too hardcore for me. But if everyone’s this psyched for it, there has to be something to it.

That last sentence made me feel a lot better haha. I followed your link and Easy does look like that’s where I’ll start. Thanks for taking the time!

I’ll remember “When in doubt: Explosives!” And I’m getting brought back by all the comments and will be clawing back the game to play it.

Oh I did not know that! I thought it was just steely difficulty all around, no matter the mode. I’m just old school and enjoy tactics like chess, where I wouldn’t get a specially painted piece smashed with a hammer if it ever got killed on the board. Might take your easy mode recommendation, thanks!

That would make me throw up my hands and exclaim “There Yugo again XCOM!”

Well this tipped me over the fence into the “give backlogged game away” decision. I honestly appreciate the candor: averted hours of probable frustration (and mourning over perma-lost team members).

Yes please. I’d much much rather watch animated superheroes competing than people in sunglasses sitting...and sitting.

Square Enix nixes pre-orders and allows us to pay/play an episode and judge whether we should buy more...and we will still complain. I’d give up on us and just go full-tilt heartless business too.

Agreed. That’s why I’ve switched to giving high-Yes’s to teammates.

Normal =/= ok. The World of Twitch Streaming’s rules don’t magically redefine or trump general relationship rules. Orienting the bf to behavior normally violative of trust in a romantic relationship shows initiative to preserving their relationship through exceptional circumstances. Not disclosing her meetings with…

Wow, coincidence unlocked (notifications in upper-right).

Holy crap I thought that was the 11th Doctor at first in the preview image.

So far learning to play is much more entertaining than actually playing.

This is also extremely exciting for those of us who have always sat outside the near-universal appreciation of the game due to our inability to grasp the combat system. I loved the world of FF7 so much I bought copies of Advent Children for friends; I just could never actually experience it as a player. So I’m very…

I’m extremely excited for this aspect, because I was always that one kid who couldn’t participate in the seemingly universal acclaim for the FF7 experience due to my low gaming IQ being unable to handle the stat onslaught of battle. I even watched Advent Children many times just to get into the world in any way I…

While I can’t say they’re being fraudulent based on their KS page, that really sucks that anticipation basically has to go into hibernation since it can’t be sustained for that long. The silver lining is that players may have more time to enjoy the game while riding their autonomous flying cars.

That’s awesome for you! I think I’m feeling what my parents feel when I’m trying to explain copy/paste to them.
