Is that trails game a good game for a jrpg noob
Last jrpg I played was ff13. Swore em off after that
My vita off in the closet somewhere tho
Maybe....
One thing to keep in mind about Cold Steel is that it's the developer's first real attempt at making a game in full 3D. As a result the game looks really rough and stilted as they're still sort of making a game as if it were in 2D, where a lot of the actions are presented in a much more abstract way.
The do kind of get their act together as the game progresses and the realize the need to construct scenes in a more explicit and exciting way, and the sequel improves on the actions and animations in scenes exponentially, but it's something to keep in mind if you do decide to pick it up.
That said I think the gameplay is better than ever and the localization is fantastic. The story is kind of slow but if you tough it out it pays off in dividends. I'd have no problem putting forth Trails of Cold Steel as an example of what the best the genre has to offer in 2016
Just visually.....it's pretty lacking, and I think for your tastes in particular it might not be something you can get passed.(I think I remember you saying you can't even play games on console anymore)
90 hours bruhs..........
That was the time it took to finish up Trails in the Sky duology.
The story was and the characters and world has a brotha going and the music was .
If yall need a jrpg fix then pick these games up
So good I picked up the osts.
SC has one of my favorite video game soundtracks. Everything in Liber Ark in particular is godly

When there's an option on PC, I'm back to the point where I'd rather play it there. This is only on Vita right? If so then my expectations change a little.
Finished AC: Syndicate. Mediocre.
Platunumed Fallout 4. Good.
Gonna start Rebel Galaxy tomorrow. Hopeful.
Still need to finish Bloodborne, preferably a while before DS3 comes out.

Vita and PS3.
If you can temper your expectations graphically, and you're ok with alot of dialog/text, I'd say give it a shot.
I'm thinking about picking up Bloodborne again pretty soon tbh. Gonna knock out Cold Steel and maybe another chill ass RPG but I want to say I wasn't bitch when Bloodborne cranked up. I feel I need that.
did they fix the loading times for Bloodborne because i will not stand for 10+ second loading times in 2016.
By PSYCH! Go To Postdid they fix the loading times for Bloodborne because i will not stand for 10+ second loading times in 2016.yeah, they've been shaved quite a bit
not gonna lie, dragons dogma looks fun again
wish i had a gaming pc to get in on whatever mods are coming

Made it back to Gold in League Preseason.
Now to just not fuck up my placements when new season starts tomorrow.
This Season is ADC Season. Raised my MMR so much just off of MF and Jinx games.

Just finished up Shadow Complex Remastered last night. Never played it before but it was good fun. Couldn't really ask for more considering I got it for free.
By DY_nasty Go To Postyeah, they've been shaved quite a bitMight pick it up this weekend then.
By Red Blaster Go To Postget siege on pc smokey so we can wreck fools together
I have it on PS4 but don't play. Everytime I try I get that feeling of I'd really rather play this on PC with mkb. I'm in the process of trying to sell my ps4 copy and then find a cheap key some where.
The number of new games I play is directly correlated to the amount of stress in my life.
I try all kinds of new stuff if things are rosy. With the oil market the way it's been, I've been on a major Spelunky kick. It's comfort food to me.

By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthows the siege community on PC? better to get on ps4?
Apparently it is growing due to word of mouth. There will always be more players on ps4. This type of requires precision aiming. Feel like mouse is better suited for it.
So The Witness is going to be $40
Why
E:guess here's why
I guess
Game was last shown way back on the same day the PS4 was announced

E:guess here's why
There’s a lot here. When we started making this game, I figured it would have between 8 and 12 hours of playtime. As it happens, the game we’ve finally built is around 10 times as big as that: if you are a completionist who wants to wring every last drop out of the game, you might expect to play for 80 hours, or possibly 100. For people who don’t want to go quite that far, the game’s still got plenty for you.

Yikes. I was expecting $20 at the most. Heard Blow blew all of his earnings from Braid developing The Witness.
The Witness seems like it's fallen off a cliff since it was unveiled. Not even sure I'm interested in a game that's been in development that long without any media really being released. And it's supposed to come out Q1? So weird.
I am looking forward to Firewatch, but I doubt I'll pick it up at launch. Just too much I've already bought and haven't touched yet to buy more games on day one right now.
Is anyone else on the fence with The Division? I've gone from intrigued; to this could be something different and interesting; to lol classic Ubi bait and switch; to this looks too RPG-y for me with all those numbers leaping out of that dudes head; to well the visuals were never going to match the debut trailer, but it doesn't look terrible...
Now I don't know what to think. I'm leaning towards trying to find somewhere to rent it since there's no way I'm pre-ordering to get into the beta.

Let's be real, prettier graphics and this mouse and keyboard combo isn't getting Smokey to play with anyone.
You don't play games anymore. All you care about is getting things to run to its max and then onto the next.

That latest trailer for The Division had me intrigued, then all the gameplay came out...
Massive downgrade in visuals, locked off sections of the map that were shown but now will be DLC, the gunplay looks like shit etc.
Comepletely soured on it. Not even going to try the beta.

Yeah, what the shit at their map size now.
Ummmmmm, that's a huge red flag. Especially since Brooklyn from the debut trailer is now apparently out entirely.
Like, you want to give the developer's the benefit of the doubt sometimes and blame the money grubbing publisher, but last year when I was following the game a lot closer, the devs were posting videos on their youtube channel, taking questions from people, and none of this ever came up. They were selling the city of NYC as their playground. Not a fucking section of mid-town north of Houston St. and south of the park. I can't imagine what other surprises are going to pop up after launch.

Eagerly awaiting the PC NDA to drop this Friday so we get some footage. Think I'm gonna try out that beta and go from there.

I am bringing my standards back to early 2015 levels. Don't make no sense for me to play the same game on these consoles when I get a Titan X and a Gsync monitor. Guaranteed 60fps and I can still use a controller if I want. In other words have a seat right over there.
Also did yall really expect those levels of graphics on consoles (Division debut). It might look like that on a high end PC but these shit boxes, good luck.
I also have faith in Massive (devs). They are PC devs at heart.
Syndicate was pretty good. Siege is good. Got no reason to not trust them right now tbh. But if you still fall for the smoke and mirror debuts they do... That's kinda a you problem...
they literally only showed off parts of the game/map that you won't be able to play until DLC is released for the past 3 years.
By Smokey Go To PostSyndicate was pretty good. Siege is good. Got no reason to not trust them right now tbh. But if you still fall for the smoke and mirror debuts they do... That's kinda a you problem...Siege is missing some stuff a lot of people consider fundamental these days....
but i mean, they keep pushing trashing so it is what it is
watch doge. never forget
The only thing I'll play from ubisoft is a rayman game and that's if ancel is doing it.
add in BG&E2

Watch dogs was trash, yeah. I think with that game we'll see the type of improvement like AC1 to AC2.
By Dark PhaZe Go To Posthows the siege community on PC?Lots of people playing. Wide range of skill / teamwork levels present but I just unlocked ranked matches. Game is fun tho and looks great on a decent PC
