I’ve always been fascinated by the events leading up to the rise of the Tokugawa shogunate. I really enjoyed reading this article. It was like meeting old friends after a long separation. I look forward to seeing what Nioh does with these legendary figures of history.

I dunno man, I’ve played some really bad combat systems. As for UX, yeah it’s terrible, but that’s just the kind of thing I mean. I don’t care about the UX so much when I’m doing awesome shit and having a great time doing it. I do kind of feel like you’re being too hard on the combat system though. I’ve played…

You know, I was thinking about this recently. Who do we have to blame for this entire situation, for this mess we find ourselves in? And I have to say... I honestly think the answer is John Wilkes Booth. If he hadn’t assassinated Lincoln, who believed strongly in a gentle reconciliation with the post-war south,…

Not quite, but the idea isn’t that far off. Coups are pretty much by definition both precipitous and violent. I’m not sure we have a word for a nation slowly transitioning into some kind authoritarian police state. We should probably invent one soon, though, just in case we need it.

If only there were some way to have a camera that could look at things that are really far away, but make it seem as if it were close up. What would I call such a device? Some sort of... telescope...lens...

No, Javert had good intentions and was simply misguided.

A lesson everyone should take to heart. Sometimes what you see is exactly what you get. There’s no deeper layer, no hidden agenda, no clever front. Believing there is is simply wishful thinking. This applies in all areas of life, from politics, to relationships, to family, to business. Sometimes you have to trust your…

If we’re bringing ranked into it, sure why not. I mean, I can farm up 20,000 feathers in 3 weeks, if I’m the best player in the world.

As an aside, I found Awakenings to be excellent. I’ve tried to beat probably four other fire emblem games, some multiple times, but I’ve never maintained interest long enough to beat one, until Awakenings. All the extra affinity mechanics really made me feel a connection to my characters that helped me get through the…

All focus does is modify the odds on the slot machine. I’ll give you an example.

Without addressing your other points, the only thing I’ll say is, the levels are more like bite-sized pieces of a full FE level, which I find quite appealing. Each one has a few tactical situations to solve, and bam you’re done. I think this game would be a fantastic way to train for the full games.

I’ve opened 5 20 orb packs, and not only have I not gotten a 5-star, but very few 4-stars as well.

Imagine, if you will, a single tear rolling down my face.

I honestly think the feather rate would be entirely justified... if promoting to five stars cost exactly half what it does now. 2 weeks to promote to four star? Okay. Ten weeks to promote a single four star to five star, assuming you already have a four star version of the unit you want to promote? Fuck you. I’m…

I may not have asked for it, but I’m sure as heck enjoying it.

Bless you, sir.

Switch preorders canceled.

Perhaps the greatest tragedy of the presidential campaign...

Interesting, I didn’t know I could disagree so thoroughly with a single person! I’ve played every main Final Fantasy from 1 through 15 (excepting 13, could not make myself like it) and this is without a doubt my second favorite. I view it as a towering achievement and a game that confidently rises above its flaws (and…
