Ended up playing The Dark Spire on the DS. About as old-school as it gets...

I think the better Question is: What is Garrus doing off the ship?*

_{* In-joke, my bro and I never used Garrus the entire Trilogy.}

@ztpayne7 Pretty great, actually. They don't do much that others didn't do, but it does everything pretty well, and I thought its battle system was neat. Oh, and the split stories between 3 main characters was a nice touch, too, at least in the first (forget if the second did that, too, since I played the second years before I played the first)

For $5, I grabbed 5 games. Been meaning to grab Thomas Was Alone and DD Neon, as well as Harvest Moon and the Dino Crisis games.

The cover art alone makes this game's existance worth something.

About two cents, to be exact.

@alphadrago5 Even if they do that, the problem is that people will take advantage of it unless they iron out the kinks. I've already heard of a couple Early Access games on Steam that clearly weren't even remotely in a playable state, yet were sold to the public under the "promise" that it'll be a great game someday.

Plus, I'm not one to not-buy good things out of just principles, but I really can't stand the idea of buying an unfinished game. I don't even like buying buggy games that require a million patches. I want a full, finished product. I'm not your investor, I'm your end user, companies. Get that through your thick skulls and stop selling me alphas while "promising" to make a good game someday.

@TOMBOY25 Took the words outta my dang mouth. :/

Still working on that. I want to play an old school RPG, but deciding which to play is a game in and of itself...

Also, props to @JamieO - R-Type Final was one heck of a gem back in the day. Few other shooters offered as much replayability, too.

I'll probably grab it. Quite liked the PS3 version and wouldn't mind having it on the go.

@Gamer83 Why is that a problem? It's risk you take when you buy one console but not the other.

I can see why. Not only do they force people to buy soon instead of waiting for a cheaper copy, perhaps even before the reviews come out, but by forcing a level of scarcity, it encourages people to keep buying day one.

That said, just because they want to manipulate the market to get more money doesn't mean I'm willing to get behind it. I only pre-order games when I know they'll be hard to find later, thanks to their general obscurity, and I know I'm definitely going to want to play them at some point.

It's killing me that I don't have money for this yet.

I'll pass. I don't mind people copying Dark Souls so long as they copy the good things from it.

....which means just the combat, basically. Sadly, this one seems to be copying everything else instead.

Sounds a little too late if you ask me. The PS3 has a gazillion, and the PS4 already has more than its fair shair of ports and remakes. Personally, I'm kind of glad to hear we won't be saying many more re-releases. All they're doing is devaluing the money I already spent.

I definitely need that Crossbone Pack, I can tell you that.

Okay. Guess I'll just assume the Vita version would be better since this game was clearly meant to be on a portable.

Anyone reviewing the Vita version?

^Well, when it comes to RPGs I usually put gameplay above story, and in this case the gameplay sounds immensely repetitive (few enemy types and environments, higher-level song magic are just stronger versions of the same attack magic, etc.), but it seems gameplay isn't a huge focus of the game (a few battles, then lots of cutscenes and dialogue) so I'll probably get past it if the story's really good.

I want this. I need this. But I need money more. :/ it's still...oh hey, it's under $60 for the special G Sound version today, with free shipping. Imma get that.

This sounds better than I expected, and it's only $40? Soon! This will be mine soon!

I hear it lacks polish, according to a few importers I know, but the best aspects from Ar Tonelico (story, characters, and dialogue) are still its best attributes, so I'll probably pick it up. At worst, the gameplay sounds simplistic and inoffensive, so I'll probably deal with it.

@NicolaHayden Yeah, the game takes some getting used to. I've been playing for hours on end, and I still have times where I won't last more than a few seconds. That said, I've encountered the dreaded blimp a couple of times, so I must be getting close!

Luftrausers. All day, every day.

^same. Looks boring as hell in my eyes, and this review didn't really help with that.

In other words, as games get bigger, they take more time and resources, while publishers still want yearly release dates...

@ThreadShadow I don't think this is an MMO. In fact, I've seen nothing that suggests this game even has multiplayer...

Wait, when was this announced? Heck yeah it looks good. Can't wait!

This is the dumbest Idea I've ever heard...multiplayer where everyone is the same? What's supposed to make it fun? Or are they now purposely sabotaging their multiplayer components until people start demanding that they stop having multiplayer components?

...wait...nvm, best idea ever!!!

@hydeks Now who's the one who doesn't like fun games?

No Man's Sky, by a country mile.

Tales of Hearts R and Freedom Wars were the only ones they showed that I'm looking forward to...there's also, One Piece, but that's a GS exclusive.

I'm getting really sick of these dev-story trailers, but with a release date like that, I guess I shouldn't be surprised...

Hoping for the best. I'll admit it does sound a bit odd.

Definitely looks good, and dat piano!

I'm disappointed if this isn't at all like Patriots, but I can't say I'm not enticed by what I just saw.

>Spend whole trailer talking about the character design
>Character is in a First person game where we'll never see her design outside of promptly-skipped cutscenes.

I thought most of what Microsoft showed either wasn't interesting to me, or wasn't exclusive, so I'll be fine at least. Crackdown has me a little jealous, but it's yet to be seen whether or not the new one will be any good.

I really don't want this to end on a sour note. It looks really interesting.

It'll probably miss.

Ugh. Oh well, I didn't expect there'd be much to show anyways...

I was gonna say. That guy just looks like a boss.

They're bleeding a lot of money already, and the PS4 is selling well at its current price point. I don't think now's the time to race to the bottom, either. Maybe another Black Friday deal will happen, but I don't think there's much hope for anything more than that.

@Punished_Boss January of what year? I haven't seen one in a store since 2012...

The costume designs of Tales games have gone to hell since...ever. But thankfully there's more to a man than how he dresses. Here's hoping he turns out to be an interesting character.

@RawWilson1 It's Samurai Warriors, everyone already knows how it plays.

The news of the new mode makes me genuinely excited to play this game. Can't wait until October.

Yet another reason for me to hold off getting a PS4 until the end of 2015.

...where were they still selling the Vita? Definitely not in NA...

Finished off the Mass Effect collection.

Inspired by my two least favorite "games"? I think I'll pass, unless they actively try to fix the innumerable flaws those games had.

Not the revolutionary game it was made out to be by the hype, I guess. Still sounds better than I was afraid it might be, though.
