@kyleforrester87 I'm hoping it will be classic camp. Like all those weird adaptions we had in the 80s and 90s, the live action He-Man and The Flintstones.
@ShogunRok Use your imagination! With the eyes of a child, any round object, and a toy coated in shoelaces, you can recreate the climatic Boulder Punch™ Scene!
@FoxyGlen Oh yeah, def seems like a game where if you mix up the systems, you can get really, really fun things happening!
@AFCC Oh yeah, especially when immediately you have to have a contest with a smug noble and your PC is both SO GOING TO WIN but at the same time your vision is blurry and the sway of your aim is like a bungee cord...
Was weak and picked it up, I love it so far, but the systems can lead to some hilarity, like my character nearly passing out from lack of sleep in the middle of the archery tutorial.
@kyleforrester87 Yeah, nothing says fun like a single stealth section where you can't shoot a single bullet and the there's an insta kill enemy near the end. Ruined my playthrough on the hardest difficulty...
That had that single sewer bit in the game with this, so it's cool they're rolling out across the board. If it works though is another thing entirely...
Crossing Souls and Mana are the must buys for me this month. Got a few other games I need to clear off my backlog this month before I buy a full price game.
I need that eurojank in my life. Always try to support A or AA level tier games - Witcher, Mass Effect, the Tom Clancy series, all of them started from this sort of level.
Seems like they bit off more than they can chew. I saw the hubbub about the framerate being atrocious on non-pros on some forums when it was released in China, and it def feels like they're just struggling with open world stuff. Probably should have stuck to the type of field that Spirit of Sanada and Toukiden 2 had for a bit longer.
I'll still buy it, because Koei own my soul and I'm bound to by law, but will wait until a drought period.
I think I enjoy this game much more now that I've accepted that its not the PSP Dissidia I sunk hours into, but more that it's simply a FF flavoured version of Gundam Versus or Border Break, the arcade arena fighter.
Also, agree with Moogle so much. Not as bad as the voice of-the fox from World of Final Fantasy, but holy heck is it annoying.
@get2sammyb Probably better to say I haven't noticed many of them yet then, to be fair though - I'm still transferring over my gmes so rather than the patches to FFXV and Witcher 3 I've been playing... Gundam Versus a whole bunch...
Seems it could be interesting to try. I totally caved and got the MH Pro before my old system's disc drive broke but without a 4K screen the only boon to me right now is the cool Rathy on the front. Hopefully not many games suffer a performance loss.
"A role-playing battle royale with intense hardcore Souls-like combat system, combining the Victorian era, Lovecraft’s mythology, and Retrowave”. That sounds like the most flavour of the year pitch I've heard in a long time. Just needs "MOBA elements" to top it off.
Picked this up on the Switch in Dec and I agree with a lot of the issues here. Feels very low budget, which is funny because they skimmed the money off a kickstarter they did. Oh well.
Also, it's a real shame that KoF fell by the wayside this year, especially with how great the final was last time. Seems to be a reoccurring thing with KoF games, I think 13 had a similar thing happen a few years back.
@YummyHappyPills Melee players are their own special breed that don't shower, try to run each other over before tourneys, and come into your room at night to steal all your still working CRTs.
@ShogunRok Yeah, I can get that. I'd love a Bardock, Goky, and Raditz team though. Personally, I'd love Vegito myself, but I don't see him happening over Broly and the like.
Honestly with all the supposed leaks going about it seems like we could have a few cool characters on the way. Hope we get a Revelator edition beyond the first year to keep up the support.
I really liked the last one, with the stupidly awesome story of BEING THE BEST GUNPLA BATTLER EVER and this one looks set to continue that. Already got Super Robot Wars X pre-ordered so if this gets a sub I'll be all over it.

Re: Little Dragons Café Is a Bizarre Blend of Dragon Rearing and Restaurant Management
I'm always up for cute slice of life lazy games I can waste my own life playing, so yeah, I'll keep a close eye on it.
Re: Ivy and Zasalamel Return in SoulCalibur VI
@Tasuki Zasalamel was the bad guy of SC3, he's basically a man who's constantly reincarnating and wants to die. Very fun to play as.
Re: No More Delays for Ni no Kuni II as the RPG Finally Goes Gold
Decided to finish off Digimon then FINALLY start the original this weekend. Wonder if I can finish it in time...

Re: Kingdom Come: Deliverance Tops 1 Million Sales in Under Two Weeks
I really hope people make more realistic RPGs, need more dung crusted peasants that DON'T have to fight dragons in my life.
Re: Sparkly JRPG Shining Resonance Refrain Arrives on PS4 This Summer in the West
Having a Shining game be localized again is a pretty big deal. I sunk so many hours into the Mega Drive and Saturn versions as a kid.
Re: Store Update: 20th February 2018 (Europe)
Thought the Little Witch beat em up came out this week, did it get delayed?
Re: New BioMutant Video Gives a Brief Glimpse at Gameplay
I'm totally hyped for this game, it looks so interesting and just... different style wise. Hope the game actually lives up to my hype.

Re: We're Definitely Up for This Chibi Nendoroid Monster Hunter: World Figure
Still waiting for the Hunter and Black Knight figmas they announced last year. Wonderfes is murder on the wallet if you like dem pieces of plastic
Re: Weirdness: Lara Croft Barbie Looks Deep into Your Soul
I always feel weird seeing games that are 15+ have toys aimed at very young kids, like the Gears of War building block toys they have.
But that expression though, she's swinging that pickaxe at some guy's head with a look of pure ice.

Re: Broly and Bardock Confirmed as First Dragon Ball FighterZ DLC Characters
If I could be a superhero, I'd be Broly. His power is maximum.

Re: Who Asked for a Battle Royale Game with 'Souls-Like' Combat?
"A role-playing battle royale with intense hardcore Souls-like combat system, combining the Victorian era, Lovecraft’s mythology, and Retrowave”.
That sounds like the most flavour of the year pitch I've heard in a long time. Just needs "MOBA elements" to top it off.
Re: Ni No Kuni II Dazzles in Extended PS4 Gameplay Footage
I have had the first one on my shelf for 4 years and I still haven't put more than an hour into it. Might after I finish Digimon...

Picked this up on the Switch in Dec and I agree with a lot of the issues here. Feels very low budget, which is funny because they skimmed the money off a kickstarter they did. Oh well.
Re: Everybody's Golf Celebrates Final Fantasy's Anniversary with Crossover Content
That's great. I dip into this game every now and then to play a few rounds, love that they're doing these sorts of wacky collab events.
Re: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Look Absolutely Amazing in First Injustice 2 Gameplay
@Tasuki Why stop there? Biker Mice From Mars. Netherrealms, just make Saturday Morning Brawlers and you've got a pre-order.
Re: Owlboy Physical Edition Spreads its Wings on PS4 in May
The perfect game to double dip on the Switch for!

Still really like the orange and blue one they released on the mainland a while back.
Re: In One Weekend, Monster Hunter: World Is Crowned the Series' Fastest Selling Entry Ever
Very cool to see their gamble pay off. Hopefully it makes MH a bigger thing in the West, only put 2 hours into it so far but love it.
