At first I assumed the tattoo was for atmosphere and aesthetic, but the moment I read that money was involved in getting the tattoo and seeing the devs initial response... Really not cool. Devolver is gonna be keeping a real short leash on these guys now.

By that logic Moira and Mercy should never work, but people ship that regardless. Plus it was pretty clear by the end of that short that Hana was willing to accept his help by the end, and he was accepting her workaholic nature albeit with a bit of friendly ribbing.

Anyone else immediately get Brutal Legend flashbacks from the header image?

Came here to make this comment and was glad to see I wasn’t the only one who saw it.

Been thinking this for a while but had no where to say it, guess I will say it here:

According to the Free Trial FAQ, you can purchase the Story Missions with the in-game credits earned from the PvP matches, which just makes this situation even weirder. If you are going to make the “Full Game” unlockable like the characters are, why do so in a way that actively hurts the story mission queue?

This is honestly what I took away from the article as well.

That’s definitely not it. The problem is Steam innovated so much early on that they have pretty much gained a monopoly in the PC space. Why do they need to try anymore if they more or less have the entire PC community already? Valve desperately needs a competitor to embarrass them before we see a return to form.

Now, no one quote me on this, but I’m pretty sure I saw these exact plushies for $50 each at the Nintendo NY store in the Rockefeller Plaza. Formerly the Nintendo World store.

Show of hands people, who thought of Runescape while reading this?

Seconded, the game is fun despite the rocky development cycle.

The controller looks bizarre, but it does actually look like the patent from a while back. (The one in the Dual Pixels article)

Anyone out there who has played the game able to weigh in on the gameplay itself? I’m sure there are articles I could look up but I’m more concerned on whether the gameplay is actually responsive and satisfying.

I’d kill to see custom moves for Cloud, but all the past DLC never got any so I doubt we’d be so lucky. Really a sorely missing feature for all of the DLC characters.

Advent Children Cloud gave him the angsty reputation. I agree with you about him in regards to FF7.

Get ready for a wholllllle lot of anti-video game sentiment after this regardless of how well(or poorly) it is done to show the issues.

I’ve got a Wii LAN adapter to eliminate any issues with lag on my own end, but it’s not unusual to see Japanese players particularly on the opposite team swimming through my team’s ink like it was their own. The lag is so, so real.

He just got featured on Kotaku so I don’t think that is a problem anymore.
