Going to pick up some WayForward titles given there's some sales this week. =) Mighty Switch Force and Shantae & The Pirate's Curse!!

I have Child of Light but have not gotten around to that yet.

Pirate's Curse is on sale? Chances are I'll pick that up later; I love Shantae! I picked up Risky's Revenge just after it came out, and I really enjoyed it. The original game has aged well also~

...and in other news, my copy of Atelier Shallie just arrived. I'm still trying to plat Ayesha for a second time and I haven't even started Escha & Logy yet, but I might fire it up later...I'm actually quite excited for this one. No time limit for the first time in years! Should be good.

Yes! I'm all for that. ;P


@ Child of Light: PLAY IT omg. I haven't been playing it as much as I should have lately just because my focus for video games sucks but oh my god it's so beautiful to play and listen to. And not just that but actually kind of relaxing and pfffbtrt. Actually if I wasn't still half asleep at the moment I would go play it right now myself.

I'm actually at work right now but I'm listening to the soundtrack right now. My god, that piano is gorgeous. This soundtrack alone is making me contemplate as to whether or not I should buy the game now or now. I'm on this song now and I'm really digging it. Sounds boss battle-esque.


bobandbill March 13th, 2015 5:06 AM

FWIW I heard good things about it from my friends, although the poetry in it is a bit forced at times. Which doesn't sound like a major complaint to me. And it was cheaper than usual when I got it, and the price ain't so bad to begin with!

El Héroe Oscuro March 13th, 2015 5:09 AM

It's only $20 right? How many hours would you say it takes to beat the game?

Sylphiel March 13th, 2015 5:14 AM

Yeah, I ended up buying it not entirely knowing if I would like it or not, since it looked interesting but that doesn't necessarily mean I'll like it, but it was "only" 15 bucks or however much it cost at the time--

Then I heard the music, this track in particular (still one of my favorite tracks from there so far, from the ones I've heard), and I knew I'd made the correct choice. Yeah the poetry can be a little forced, but even then it's not even that bad. I have no complaints about it.

...I'm only four hours into it myself. :(

Eh, it's fine. AJ's popular but Xenoverse has surprisingly had a large reach. A large number of critics, both big name and obscure, have given the game pretty good reviews and the consumer's are fascinated by it, so it shouldn't be a problem.

Is anyone else annoyed that we may never see a release of The Last Guardian?

Also Klippy is orange :3

Oh my gosh yes! It's a game I've wanted for so long, but I feel we'll either never get it or it will have been at least a decade since the original announcement before we see it. http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m7wvivseu91r17mw1.gif

pkmin3033 March 13th, 2015 8:59 AM

Don't count it out just yet...after all, Final Fantasy XV, formerly Versus XIII, has been in development for YEARS now, and that's supposed to be finally coming out in the immediate future. We might get it, just under a different name. Time doesn't seem to be a factor to certain video game developers...or fantasy writers, for that matter. But I digresss~

I'm more upset it's unlikely we'll ever get another Legacy of Kain game...

El Héroe Oscuro March 13th, 2015 10:21 AM

Most likely no sequels to Vanquish and Dante's Inferno... *shakes head in frustration*

Dusk March 13th, 2015 10:24 AM

Of course I'd never give up, it's just that this game is probably the only title I've ever wanted that's been through some kind of developmental limbo. Sony stated they’re "waiting for the right time to re-introduce the game".... but when? No new footage or anything for I forget how many years since the last trailer. I guess we'll see.

I wonder if Gamestop still even has my pre-order since the title was rumored to be cancelled several times over the years. xD Well, if/whenever Sony decides to release it, it's probably a good business decision to have the game be on PS4.

I'd love a sequel to Dante's. That was one of the funnest games I've ever played.

Now, there are two games that need sequels. I'd say that Vanquish was easily Platinum Games' finest action game - it was far more frantic than Bayonetta, if a little less stylish - and there are three parts to the Divine Comedy, damnit! We need Dante's Purgatorio and Dante's Paradiso D:

Is anyone else fucking hyped for the Final Fantasy XV demo? I preordered Type-0 for this shit.

I'm so hyped for it and I don't even have a system to play it. I've been being real nice to one of my friends lately though for that very reason. :)

I can't wait to play it. It looks fan-fucking-tastic. I just hope it plays as good as we're all hoping it does.

I swear I'm so easily pleased when it comes to games, I have a feeling I'll love it. I adore FFXIII thanks to the incredible battle system, and then suddenly I find it is hated in all corners of the internet.

Lol I know exactly how you feel. When I first played XIII I thought it was the best thing since they came out with X. But as time went on I started seeing more and more hate for it and for some reason I started to hate it too. But square could probably reveal that they're going to take a literal pile of poop and stuff it in a game case and I'd buy it.

Arc March 13th, 2015 4:57 PM

I hope most people that buy Type-0 HD, don't disregard it for the XV demo.

Hi! March 13th, 2015 5:13 PM

I wouldn't buy a full priced game just for the short demo inside it! I definitely plan on playing through Type-0 in its entirety, and from what I've seen, it looks like it'll be a sleeper hit. Looks like great fun.

I love the XIII trilogy. I'm secretly hoping they re-release them all on PS4/Xbox One so I can have an excuse to play them again.

I can't stress this enough. Not just with Final Fantasy games, but with all games there are often times when the ones that aren't part of the main series just get glossed over and forgotten. And there are times when these "side games" turn out to be even better than the newest main series game. So if you're going to buy Type-0 just for the demo, I beg you to think of the demo as only an afterthought. Play through at least a couple of hours of Type-0 before you even touch the XV demo.

machomuu March 13th, 2015 5:48 PM

It would be a damn shame if Type-0 was glossed over for the XV demo. I played Type-0 back when the fan translation was released and it is fantastic. It's really shocking how unique the Final Fantasy XIII conglomerate has managed to be.

I've since stopped playing it for the most part until I can support the official release, but it really is one of the more varied and fun Action RPGs I've played in a long time.

Yukari March 13th, 2015 5:58 PM

Final Fantasy Type-0 is one of the many games that makes me sad because I don't own a PS4.

Netto Azure March 13th, 2015 8:58 PM

No PS4 so no new FF games for me heh.

pkmin3033 March 13th, 2015 10:23 PM

I'm probably not even going to bother playing the XV demo when I get Type 0, to be honest - it looks absolutely awful. I'm getting Type 0 because I'm intrigued to see if it actually warranted an HD upgrade, and because I need more PS4 games, not for a demo of a game that, by all accounts, is going to be extremely disappointing.

As for the XIII trilogy...I didn't hate them as games - I've played worse - but I did hate the cast. XIII would have been so much better if it had a proper antagonist, and XIII-2 would have been better if Hope hadn't been in it. Lightning Returns I'd stopped caring by that point and just concentrated on playing it, rather than trying to make sense of a story that made absolutely no sense. xD
