I remember XY was advertised as having a big boost in budget over previous seasons... during fights instead of having the background replaced with speed lines, the pokemon were actually seen in front of the background. Animation overall was just smoother and more detailed than before. This kind of gives me the…

I’m super excited for this game, but I think it’s good to have the opposite reaction as well... this is one of those games that can’t possibly live up to the hype, so it’s a lot better to look at it from both sides.

My problem is going to be getting to play it instead of my wife, since this is pretty much the only game comign out she’s actually interested in.

Oh man... there’s something really relieving about hearing the Final Fantasy fanfare used completely earnestly. I feel like a lot of the main line Final Fantasy games have seemed practically... embarrassed to openly admit to being proper Final Fantasy games. Between the re-launch of FFXIV and the tone they’re going…

Yeah, but feminism, right?

I guess it’s not fair to say “this isn’t a hack” but that’s kind of the feel I get. The creator swapped, what... the portrait sprite, the start of battle sprite, and the super-simple overworld sprite. I think I’ve been spoiled by seeing more complicated changes to games that are usually called hacks (like adding an…

Body type is all wrong, but Ike’s fighting style does match Sora more. I think a lot of people don’t realize that Sora actually holds his keyblade with a fighting stance normally used for heavy weapons like claymores or zweihanders. Ike’s fighting style matches it best, with his wide, heavy strikes. Lol although…

What’s the best way to contact Sony and let them know that we want to be allowed to have these mods in our games that we paid for? I feel like that’s the reason Bethesda is putting them on blast like this... I don’t know what kind of numbers it’s going to take to get Sony to actually listen, but the only way this will…

I think “Pro” reads better to the casual audience. Like... I feel like Playstation 4 Neo will have someone who doesn’t keep up with systems wondering if it’s a totally new system or what... we can sort of see how that went with the WiiU, which a lot of people didn’t realize was a new system.

Abraham Lincoln is basically the Republican Party’s collective “Black Friend”. They all get to say, “Oh, I’m not racist, because I know this guy”, and they have the added benefit of not actually having to associate with, y’know... actual black people.

If you mean in the sense that “eventually everyone dies, so that’s always a tragedy”, that’s a pretty childish idea of story telling. My problem with Chrono Cross was that it deliberately inverted the entire theme of Chrono Trigger, which would be fine if that was just what they did with their own story, but to…

lol I actually have another reply in this discussion somewhere, but I don’t want to retype everything in it. But basically what it says is that humans have multiple senses that extend beyond sight to give you a sense of your location and of your environment. Your sense of touch tells you if you’re running into…

lol you can see more of your body in your peripheral vision than you see in most first person games, where your character model is essentially a floating pair of hands. Even looking down in games where they model your whole character, it’s not particularly close to how the perspective would normally be if you were…

I prefer 3rd person because it more closely replicates the sensation of peripheral vision. Plus it gives you a chance to connect more with your character, since you can actually see them.

When I was a kid renting games for the weekend there were a few times where I spent way too long playing a game that I hated, but these days the longest I’ve spent on a game that I wasn’t actaully enjoying was like... 4 hours

I dunno... I still have trouble taking her seriously since she goes so far out of her way to get offended at things. It probably shows bias on my part, but I would have taken that same video a lot more seriously if I knew it came from the mind of someone with a history of looking at things objectively, and not someone…

Oh god, imagine how far you’ll have to walk... I wonder if candy output is going to be identical across all mon’s, or if say... common, weaker mons output candies faster, and rarer output them slower. I wouldn’t be surprised if Magikarp has the lowest output if that’s the case...

This is honestly, to me, a better compromise over the type-based candies that a lot of fans have been clamoring for. Type-based candies would be much better than the system they have now, where rare pokemon are virtually useless unless you happen to live near a “nest” where they regularly spawn. But this change gives…

At this point, I think Nintendo’s not too worried about selling more WiiUs. I’m sure they wouldn’t object to more sales, but logically, they’re gambling hard on the upcoming NX. The WiiU didn’t crash and burn as much as a lot of people say it has, but it’s still not making the money they were hoping for. With a big…

Oh man... I missed this on PS2... I’ve heard it’s the best DQ game and now I’m looking forward to finally trying it.
