Fantastic news.

Yeah I think Ubisoft’s Uplay servers are just overloaded. I was going to check if the game was out yet (on PC) and couldn’t even log into UPlay.

I think it’s at least partially so they can market the game as having more characters.

Your second statement isn’t wrong, but they are not mutually exclusive. Just because something is very difficult to measure doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.

They forgot Dirge of Cerberus, but it takes place after AC so I guess you could count it as that.

Some “community manager” got shitcanned for sure.

There are plenty of civilians still in Raqqa.

I’ve also pulled off the Last Second Mechabomb Save a few times and gotten PotG for wiping the enemy team on our cap. Such a great feeling.

Exactly why I got a Vita, for the cool Japanese RPGs still coming out. Thanks for the review, I’m probably getting it this weekend.

It never hurts to be prepared!

This doesn’t seem like a very well thought out business model.

Yeah, Nasu Kinoko blogged about it. He wants FGO to stand on its own, so characters like Artoria are going to be the real, complete Heroic Spirits without any immediate sense of having come from other stories. But, purely as fan service, they still reference their other appearances from time to time. e.g. Kojirou…

It’s canon, but a different continuity.

Richard, that last one with Shielder is a serious spoiler. That information is only available by mining the game files. It isn’t in the published story yet.

Time to get this.

Interesting design choice. Maybe they’re trying to take player attention away from the shooting and more on the overall fight? Or some rationale like that. At any rate Battlefront is obviously not trying to be a “hardcore” shooter.

I still don’t like that small arms can damage armored walkers. Was hoping DICE would go for a slightly more realistic-feeling depiction in this Battlefront.

I like the way you think. I’ve never thought of Battlefront as a role-playing game.

Agreed, and the Nintendo example is a good point. Without first-party investment what did they expect to happen? It’s not a new lesson that developers aren’t automatically going to latch onto your new platform just because the hardware is cool. On the other hand, the Japanese (region) game market is still doing OK, if…

Kickstarter is for donations, not pre-orders.
