QTE-fest with occasional fighting.

They've been pitching it in Japan as "literally an anime series on a disc." Think more Heavy Rain than Bayonetta. They can't sell that in America, so they've just been going with Bayonetta.

It's a bunch of chapters that change what you're doing. Like, in the demo, you're being served sake in a hot spring by two women. It's in a first-person perspective. You do this for around 5 - 8 minutes, doing things like spotting enemies or looking at boobs or drinking or showing off your dick to fill up a red bar in the top of the screen. Eventually, when the bar is filled, Asura tries to touch the woman's boobs and his master says now it's time to fight and you get a big TO BE CONTINUED.

Then the title card comes back, you get a "previously on Asura's Wrath" and you're on the moon fighting Asura's master in a battle similar to the way CC2's Naruto Ninja Storm games work.

There are brawling sections, but there's also a lot of stuff like the hot spring thing I described.

When I taught I was always told to smile more. ._. It's really hard for me.

On the other hand in English language schools you are expected to smile like a fool 100% of the time. Fuck that.

Oddly, I get told that a lot too. When I'm not engaging with anyone, my normal face can often look like I'm mad. Strangers will pass me and say "you should smile"... I just respond with... "I am".

Oh :(
What little hype I had for that is now gone.
 
In a country where you pay the equivalent of $80 - $100 for a few episodes of blu-ray anime on one disc, the value proposal for Asura's Wrath isn't so bad.

They're going to end up pissing off a lot of people here, though.

He also seems to have been awarded the gray tag of shame, presumably for his contributions therein. I just don't get it. In a perfect world, everything would be multiplatform. If you get upset about other people being able to play games you play then you care more about brands than you do about games, and that means we're enemies.

Yeah, my friends never think I have a problem because I always smile a lot when talking with them. But if I'm just around town... Admittedly I used to get the "be happy" a lot more when I was a goth (ha!) I haven't gotten it at all in recent years.

I can understand some degree of dislike for PC games getting console ports. The current consoles are long in the tooth, so it leads to thinking the game is being held back.

But, really, Diablo 3 is a Blizzard game and was designed to run on old hardware, anyway. It wasn't going to be that game being held back.

I honestly don't know yet. :o Probably Europe (maybe amsterdam) but Cali/TX are viable options too. Who knows!

Speaking of which, here, you go to any tech, music, movie or dvd shop, and you won't fine a single actually legit/real copy. They're all ripped stuff.

Each movie costs around 25-50 lira, which is less than a dollar. That's for new releases. What can I say, there's no other option here, and i'm not about to NOT see Tree of Life for example.

Movie tickets cost around a thousand-1500 in comparison, which is around 20-30 bucks iirc. Yeah, that's ridiculous.

So, am I breaking the law here? <- not literally, by here I mean by buying this shit.

Yeah definitely. Obviously given my inclinations I'm very familiar with the worst examples of streamlining to the point of inanity but Diablo 3 is pretty damned low-tech and (dare I say it) rather ugly. The controller discussion is another one where I think people need to just step back and actually have a think about whether a game intended to played for hours and hours on end, and which mostly revolves around performing the same set of half a dozen tasks ad nauseum, would be better played with a mouse or a controller and then go from there.

Clearly there will be differences in the way that mechanics and abilities work but it's not like there aren't plenty of cross-platform ARPGs these days.

Every time a fly through Amsterdam the girls (who are obviously Dutch) seem to be all really pretty. But the guys are all kind of weird (sorry Tence!) Many of them seem to have greasy hair and polyester shirts that are open way too far down their chest for my liking :x Maybe it's just the guys who go flying often.

Pretty much. So long as each version is handled differently when it comes to skill design (i.e. the PC version is not required to aim/operate targeted skills like the console version) I don't really see the issue.

So basically, what you are saying is everyone is hotter in amsterdam, but the men are too hot? Sounds like mah kinda place.

Probably because they're smoking weed all day, they can't be bothered to wash their hair.

I joke.

If by 'Sorry Tence' you actually mean 'Sorry Tence, you are an exception' then you are forgiven :P

I do prefer it when developers make separate UIs for PC and console versions.

Skyrim PC has a crazy bad interface for mouse and keyboard. It was designed primarily for controllers and their PC solution was just to use WASD to emulate a controller.

Put emergency cones on your block so the guy delivering has to take a long route, and then move them to the other side of the block, so he has to find yet another way, then he'll eventually walk there.

It's been more then 30minutes: missions accomplished, free pizza.

That is exactly what I mean, haha!

I can't really say though, since I've never really been in the Netherlands proper. So all my comments are invalid. I need to visit!

I actually like how the keyboard is bound for the menus. Hate the mouse, it feels really inconsistent when it comes to clicking UI elements. Then again the mouse feels fucked up in general in Skyrim.

I thought Moscow was populated only by female models and the scariest looking guys I'd ever seen. Copenhagen airport seemed to be run by a super tall, super blond (and good-looking) master race. Made me feel like a bridge troll. :P

And, Happy Silly Hat Tuesday, everyone. ^_^
