| Chronicles is a great game, if your looking for an intruiging fantasy world the game is set on the corpses of two enormous giants, and has a fantastic art direction to it. Gameplay is pretty good though it's a lot like world of warcraft with auto attacking and waiting for skills to cooldown, the cool part is when you stop time and wail on a miniboss with your party and the music? well....It's downright awesome |

| I dont know about Xenoblade. It kinda looks too anime-esque to me. Sounds weird on an anime forum but I actually dont like games that are heavily anime-like. I also seem to remember the original Xenoblade having alot more nature in it, compared to that the new trailer only showed gray gray and gray. Other than that The Legen of Zelda looks great. A bit sad it didnt end up like this. Its still got the kind of shading and lightning wind waker has, wish it could have been a bit more grown up. Sure still cartoony but like in the early tech demo. Other than that Splatoon looks like it could be fun. Not sure what to think about allowing Mii's as playable characters. I like the characters in Super Smash Bros Brawl because they had a theme, they where characters I knew, and well had character to them. The Ameeboo think also seems a bit ehh. |
| Gosh darn it. I was going to sell my Wii this month too but thankfully I realized I would be missing out. Thanks for the info. Time to experience another wonderful adventure! |
| @Baki I suppose that means you didn't see the other teasers for Chronicles X then? because one of them has the party running around an enormous grassy field with rivers streams and mountains to boot, so it wont all be metal n stuff Also I like the Mii fighter thing I dig the idea of making goofy looking Miis and then wrecking goons with it |
|
| >Other than that Splatoon looks like it could be fun. If I had a WiiU, I'd seriously be more hyped for that multiplayer than CoD or Battlefield. Only if it's 20$ or less of course. I'm not paying full price for that lol. |

Might be getting it if Im getting a Wii U, altough I still dont know if I am a fan of the combat. I like action based combat more, WoW style is really boring, altough Xenoblade seems to have a bit of a twist to it from what Ive seen in videos. Yeah I know I just think they lack character. Most SSBB Characters have a sort of theme to them and the attacks reflect that. Like Squirtle having water attacks, Pit using his bow and flying and so on. Its just that Mii characters have idk, they dont have a theme to them, no backstory nothing. |

I'm not paying full price for that lol. I guess any kind of hype is bigger than zero. I have no interest in Battlefield Hardline at all,but Ill keep the new Cod on my radar, maybe Ill get this one. But Ive been saying that for every Cod and I never bought one. In the end CoD never seems interesting enough. Yeah Nintendo as always delivers the interesting gameplay. I think its a shame that so many people also on the stream just labeled their games as kids games. Bayonetta 2 also looks great. Is the WII U downwards compatible? I might play Bayonetta 1 if it is. |
baki502 said: Yeah Nintendo as always delivers the interesting gameplay. I think its a shame that so many people also on the stream just labeled their games as kids games. I know rite, we need more mature adult games. No fun allowed, need my blood and ultra violence. Shame that most people think like that. About Bayonetta, I think it's included with Bayonetta 2. So you get to replay Bayonetta 1 with Link and Peach costumes. |

You can be sure they are all edgy teenagers that like only their shooty-shooty first person shooters that go around shooting stuff and think they are so mature. Nagisa33 said: Has anyone played Xenoblade Chronicles? If so, how does it stack up to other JRPGs. I've been listening to some Chrono Trigger music https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVif7tugqJ0 and I'm in the mood for a unique fantasy world. I just checked out more info on X and it looks like it'll shape up to be fantastic! Tetsuya Takahashi has quite the resume! Plus Hiroyuki Sawano's doing the music. Good stuff but idk if I'm going to get a Wii U just for this. Is there a way to rent consoles like you rent games? Also, I guess I answered my own question. Takahashi is the guy behind Xenoblade Chronicles so it looks like it's right up my alley. :) All Takahashi's games are masterpieces, you can go into them already expecting to see some of the best stuff you've ever witnessed. The plot of Xenoblade is inferior (but still amazing) to Xenosaga and Xenogears, but the gameplay tops them easily, the combat system is very creative and the maps are full of fun quests and exploration, also added with the epic scenarios and music. Oh, but the best soundtrack is Xenosaga's, because Yuki Kajiura. |

| Just watched Microsoft's conference and I have to say: better than I thought. Obviously way better than the shit they were presenting last year's E3. Wasn't really interested in most of the games they were showing (HEY GUIZE HALO IS TEH BESTEST LEL), save for some smaller titles they were showing. They had more consistency with showcasing games than Sony did (not to mention shorter). Overall, it was good. I only favor Sony because they had some more exciting games for me personally. Glad they got rid of most of the bullshit, which Ubisoft is intent on keeping. EA. Oh, EA. EA, EA, EA. Sunset Overdrive looks interesting, and Witcher 3 is fucking amazing. Last but not least, I'll go check out Nintendo's in a few hours. With the reception in this thread, seems like they did good, yeah? baki502 said: ZetaZaku said: >Other than that Splatoon looks like it could be fun.

CoD is one of those games I'm not really blown away or anything, but I wouldn't mind playing it. Not because it's so much fun or amazing; it's just...there. Why not, you know? It's also a shame Nintendo has been viewed as "for kids." I never viewed Pokemon as that way, nor any games I have ever played. Maybe games I'm into that could be appealing to kids as well, but, idk. Bayonetta 2 bundled with Bayonetta 1!? Goddamnit, Nintendo. Fuck you. |

| I think Nintendo had the strongest presence and announcements this year. Unfortunately, they're mostly all for 2015. Despite the fact that I'm obsessed with Smash Bros., I think I'll still wait 'til next year to pick up a Wii U. I'm just not ready to cross over into the current generation. Since FFXV/KHIII aren't coming out this year, looks like I don't have to get a PS4 this year, either! Woo. My wallet thanks me. |
| Gameplay for Hyrule Warriors. It's pretty much Dynasty Warriors with a Zelda skin. Do I mind that? Fucking no, I'm buying a Wii U as soon as I find a used one. Which is kinda funny since nobody bought a Wii U and stuff haha. Dynasty Warriors is one of my favorite game series, and I loved Gundam and Hokuto no Ken spin offs a lot. Zelda is pretty hype for me. And fucking hope they add Link and Zelda as character exclusives for the Wii U version of potential Warriors Orochi 4. |

| Wow his cover art is fantastic, Nintendo should hire him! (though the real cover is badass as all hell ;)) |
|
| That was hilarious! I think I'm up for a silly fun time rather than a competitive oriented one. That's how I played Melee and to a lesser extent, Brawl. I'm liking how this new one is turning out. |
| Still no Shin Megumi Tensai x Fire Emblem trailer? :< |
"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Just found Pale Blue on Kickstarter. Looks fairly nice. Might be one of the few anime style games Ill buy if it ever gets finished. I think the anime style works so much better in 2D. Like hell of a lot better. Anime-style in 3D Games looks horrible and weird like 99% of the times. |
| It definitely looks better when it's cel-shading, than more realistic CGI. Anime CGI like Tales of Vesperia for example looks better than Final Fantasy CGI. |
"Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
| Bayonetta two currently being shown in nintie treehouse, key thing to note, new weapon set, A gunscythe with flamethrowers on her feet, because awesome |
|
| Nintendo Treehouse pretty much sold the Wii U for me. I'll buy one as soon as I find a cheap one. |

ZetaZaku said: It definitely looks better when it's cel-shading, than more realistic CGI. Anime CGI like Tales of Vesperia for example looks better than Final Fantasy CGI. Just checked it and youre right and I think its because its still aiming for a 2d look. Still looks sorta flat. IMO its the added 3rd dimension that makes anime characters simply look weird and shit. Its also the reason I absolutely hate figurines. In my opinion they just look shit, dont work in the 3rd dimension. I guess when the 3rd dimension is added, you become more aware of depth, proportions and size and thats when your brain probably cant ignore how inproportionate and disfigured anime characters actually are compared to actual humans. At least it would be my guess why I cant stand them in 3D. |
| https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qdGPDiqvJpo More Bloodborne footage *squeals*. Looks so good! |
| I like the fact that instead of a beleagured knight, Bloodborne seems to want players to feel like van hellsing, with Cthullhu thrown in for good measure |
|
Reialgo said: I like the fact that instead of a beleagured knight, Bloodborne seems to want players to feel like van hellsing, with Cthullhu thrown in for good measure Yeah I'm really loving the tone of this new IP; it's what the new Castlevania games SHOULD be, cripes. On another note, I take back what I said about DS2's final boss being too easy without purpose, Vaati's video made things somewhat clearer and there's a bit of intricacy to it after all the way I see it. |
| Well Im liking it, but I am a bit dissapointed that the zombie/undead is still the standard enemy. Especially in DS2 way to overused and Ill be honest I dont like zombies/undead. I think they are unimaginitive and boring, but atleast they made sense in DS. Loosing your humanity > becoming hollow/undead. But I wish they would have had something else in Bloodborne. Im also not blown away by the graphics they are decent tough, so that gives me hope that we do get 60 fps. Dont want better graphics just more frames. Then I might get over it that I cant play it on my trusty PC :(. |
| Here's the new trailer for MGS V: The Phantom Pain. I'm very excited but also a bit worried. http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yfoPfF2u1to |

| http://www.gog.com/ GOG has a summer sale from today until the 30th of June. |
|
| If only it weren't daily sales. I'd consider buying the D&D Masterset, but as you already know, it's kinda complicated and I can't really buy it in the next 13hours. If only it lasted a couple more days! |

They have a curse that turns them into beasts. Technically, but they still looke like enlargened Undead. Its just so bland and unimaginitive. But gotta say from the trailor all the other enemys shown looked really original and inspired. Just this gripe I have with the base enemy that From kinda never got right. |
| I think the free Dark Souls on xbox live got updated. I started it last night, which is probably a mistake because I should be doing other things or else my life will be very stressful soon. I beat the first two boss fights without dying in either. It made me feel like a man.... and then I got really lost. |

Then, I started going up more, and fought this armored pig enemy, but felt that I was going the wrong way. I also went down a long spiral walkway, and fought this black knight with a huge goofy sword. He really kicked my ass a couple times, then I gave up for the night. |

Did you walk DOWN a spiral stairway or did you go UP? There is no Black Knight down a spiral staircase, only up. Down a spiral staircase is Havel the Rock. And you can't stop The Rock. |

Havel is in gray armor and weilds a Club if I remember correctly so he is kinda out of the question. Also Havel is easy. |
mugi said: baki502 said: Also Havel is easy. Right, after you already put some hours into the game. inb4 Dark Souls is easy you just have to play it for hours to learn how to play. nyes. Sorta. He is pretty damn slow which makes him rather easy even in the beginning, as long as you got patience. The armored boar which you have to face quite early on is way harder. I finished him off by "glitching" him, Dark Souls 1 had very rigid action borders where the enemies stopped following you and I just kept shooting arrows at his ass from outside that border.... |

And Havel will smash any new player 99/100 times since you can't block any of his attacks and you do miniscule damage to him, even on criticals. |

I wasnt a pleb and went 2Handed Greatswords on my first playtrough like a badass. So I learned to roll very early. |
mugi said: Wind_Falcon said: Well everyone learns to roll if they actually care for the interesting mechanics of the game which give the most satisfaction after completing a challenge. I mean blocking and wearing the heaviest armor is incredibly boring, people will switch sooner or later. Parrying is even easier then. Just watch the enemies hand, not the weapon, and parry it by watching your own hand, not the shield/weapon. Especially The Mineral is somewhat easy to parry. It is relatively easy, but its a bit harder to learn then rolling. Took me quite some time to get it right and even then I often failed it but I still had a high success rate with it. In DS2 they changed it and I like it now parrying is alot harder. Im starting to get the hang of it a bit, but its still alot harder since you cant just react to an attack and parry, you have to predict it now. |
