It looks weird, but that's part of why I'm interested. It's apparently a bit more Persona than SMT, and the Fire Emblem elements are more fanservice and plot than gameplay.

Still on Star Fox Zero and Bravely Second. I feel like I have to be close to finishing Bravely. I'm unfortunately having some pains with my job lineup, since a lot of them mastered their Jobs. So, I'm experimenting a bit. I've decided that I'm also only going to use new jobs, since A) they're all pretty cool and B)

One interesting case of "me too" games that worked are the traditional MOBAs, mainly because each had an advantage. League of Legends was the first big one that was its own game, as opposed to DOTA, which was a mod. This meant that League had an easier time promoting and bringing in new players. DOTA 2, though, was

Part of this game ending up as a "spooky scary North Korea" plot might have to do with its development. I mean, it was announced by THQ before they went bankrupt, reannounced years later, and then eventually came to be. Its creation is so troubled that the credits actually thank everyone for sticking with them and say

A mode that I would beg for would be one that is less randomized, but rather a studio that you can import your line-up from the main series 3DS games. Even though the models would probably all be the same by Pokemon, it would still be a nice personal touch.

The lack of Pokemon Snap U is the biggest missed opportunity for the system. Hopefully the NX carries over the second screen gimmick, just so that it can happen.

Dang, some of those Pikmin 3 shots are gorgeous. It should be noted that others are just screenshots, which can also bear noting: most games on Wii U can have screenshots taken at any point, so just about any game can have a camera mode. I know I tried pretty obsessively to get one specific shot in Bayonetta 2 for a

Not mentioned here is Pikmin 3, which had a camera mode that no one seems to remember. The mode was more a fun diversion, since it really had no actual point in the grand scheme of things. It didn't unlock anything, and time would keep moving, so it was arguably bad to even waste time using it. But it was a fun little

Fittingly, the Awkward Zombie that came out after this weekend was about mimics!…and raises a very good question…

Yes, but he got some appropriate payback for it.

And only true fans, at that! The true fans who want it now and not launch-ready!

Darn you, A.V. Club! I was very much hoping that the Battleborn review would have been one of the ones touched here, since I would have stood at least a chance of getting points.

Figured it out on my bus ride home, now I'm in Chapter 5. I just lost to the second fight, though, but I should be able to handle it on a second go.

I know there is a Chapter 5, but I haven't gotten to it, I guess. Was in Chapter 4, and now I have the New Game + option, which I'm assuming is what I have to do.

Thanks to the Humble Bundle, I now have Affordable Space Adventures. The problem is finding some time for my wife and I to play it together.

Mimics are an annoying and yet wonderful thing, but I don't think I actually ever used them in a D&D campaign. I might have to, though…I just thought of a trick that has probably been done before: fill a dungeon with stupid mimic chests, and then have one chest that has a powerful but fragile artifact inside. It's

Copera!

That's my bet. Which, of course, means that it is still the terrible "What a twist!" type of writing, where there's nothing substantial to what is here except to give a brief gasp to the base. Novelty with no depth. It's equivalent to jump scares or Pop Rocks

Those are long sounding matches. It's why I stopped playing League of Legends, I found that I didn't want a match that lasted an hour, especially if I ended up losing and thus getting no payoff. I miss League's Dominion mode, for the same reasons. It was fast and frantic. Unfortunately, matchmaking times made it take

Apparently the story is actually good, if you're willing to look into it by reading files and stuff. But Doom Guy himself has no interest in it.
