You bring your own hardware, you're responsible for it.
think about the dynamics and mindgames of a match, a controller disconnect completely wrecks any legit flow that's happening. it throws the veracity of a match's win into doubt too.
Also this was in the fifth game of a first-to-five Grand Finals match, so possibly the very worst place for a razer joystick to fail

The KI top 8 was fucking awesome, mostly thanks to Maximilian doing his commentary. Dude is great at getting hype during hype moments even if you're not entirely sure what's happening.

I always find KI really entertaining to watch, I think part of it is just due to how good everything in that game sounds. The combos are also entertaining and I find them easier to follow than most other fighting games.

Yeah. The only gaming competition of the year that matters is coming up in a few days.
SGDQ baby!
I still remember playing KI at Gamescom pr-release and I came back super impressed with the game. No one believed me that it's actually really good. Game would probably be more successful if it wasn't "stuck" on Xbone. Maybe the PC release will help.

I didn't realise that was so soon, I'll definitely be watching as much of that as possible.

I hope they have Jason on this week and get Austin to call in to discuss Evo during this week's Bombcast. It probably would be stale by Friday's Beastcast.
feels like theres a GDQ every few months - is it twice a year? like AGDQ/SGDQ?
Exactly. It's twice a year.

Y'know, listening to the bombcast talking about the vita, and while I do love my vita, I can definitely see their view on it. Though that got me thinking. Are they even interested in the 3DS anymore? Other than MH4, which they seemed to have dropped pretty quickly, I really can't remember them talking about anything 3DS related this year.
The you are quite mistaken. Code Name: Steam, Majora's Mask and Puzzle and Dragons were definitely talking points as well.

The vita is heaven for jrpg fans but I can totally understand everybody else's disappointment
Antiwhippy

Oh yeah, totally forgot about P&D.
Majora's mask seems to be something only Dan is interested in (despite brad saying that he might give it a chance) and no one seemed to have liked code name: steam.
Year of the Vita music game. It's ridiculous how many there are.
Pretty sure there are more and bigger JRPGs coming out on the 3DS. Vita seems to only get the B-Tier efforts.
Also think this year has so far been quite light on good 3DS releases.

It's kind of heaven for fans of most Japanese games, but if you're not into that then it's totally a disappointment.

Long shot but would anyone happen to know where to sing the music at the start of last weeks Bombcast? It reminded me a lot of the music in Perfect Dark. Sorta mellow synthy Jazz .

I seriously cannot think of any A-tier JRPGs on the 3DS.
The only one I can think of Xenoblade.
edit: wait wait, forgot about persona q and fire emblem. Also SMT4 and the etrian odyssey games.
Still wouldn't put it above the vita though.

since pretty much all Falcom and Gust and non-Persona Atlus games are "b-tier" I'm just fine with that. what's a-tier anyway? Square games? Fire Emblem?
Examples? Only thing that comes to mind is Bravely Second.
Oh yeah, and Fire Emblem counts as an SRPG. And there's all of the Atlus stuff coming out later this year, too.
Edit: Oh, overall? I would still say the Vita definitely has the advantage for JRPGs.

Brad does that thing they make fun of with Stewie on Family Guy - he adds a hard "h" before the "w" in "awhile". Uh hwile
yeah gif loops nicely eh

Gust is A-tier man. They're the only company besides Atlus and Falcom to make actually good JRPGs nowadays.
You edited in Persona Q then there are also Bravely Default, Shin Megami Tensei IV, Inazuma series is big, Etrian Odyssey, Pokemon, Mario & Luigi.
Then even more SMT spin-offs.
Antiwhippy
the holder of the trombone
I will fight anyone who says that bravely default is an actually good game.
It's an ok game repeated multiple times.

I'd play any of those games over any Gust or Falcom game not called Ys.

I tried playing Bravely Default
the art style is horrendous and caused me to quit after the first cave

my excitement/enjoyment arc on that game was kind of hilarious. I got up to the part where you talk to that guy to get the dress and was then so done with the game that I sold it (for more than I paid for it!)

Ys isn't even the best falcom series

Vita has good JRPGs? All I see is cookie-cutter dungeon crawlers or SRPGs with the perv factor up to eleven. Oh, and Persona 4 Golden.
I'm only half-serious with my statements.
Antiwhippy

I mean I like more falcom games than Ys.
But Ys is their best series.

Persona Q is a great game but it's also one labyrinth too long. I'm not sure if I'll ever finish it.
I'm at a point where most JRPGs feel to long. Most have an interesting beginning and end, but also this huge middle part where everything seems to not move anywhere. And usually that's when I give up because rarely are the game systems interesting enough to get me through that. Bravely Default was a huge offender when it comes to that.
I don't see it on the schedule.
