Just load it up and play it imo. As someone else said, it's better than the sum of it's parts. Focus on any individual part and it can sound bad but I absolutely love playing it.

It's funny how the Pokemon knockoff game actually moves well and has a nice framerate while actual Pokemon still has jank-ass 8-way movement and can barely run smoothly even after removing 3D from half the game.
If, hypothetically, a person had a wife who was a major Pokemon fan, do you think that wife would like Yokai Watch?
whoa
sometimes i think level-5 exists solely for me, i pretty much fall in love with everything they put out, at least on nintendo platforms. probably for the better i haven't played white knight chronicles
don't see why not!
mainline pokemon hasn't been good post-r/s/e, it is known

ORAS has full 3D movement. I haven't watched the QL, but does Yokai have 60 while the 3D is on?
Some people are saying that, but it would probably come down to a person's experience. There are some who really dislike the battle system. It might be worth asking that question in the OT.
I was thinking this was something about the game itself but instead it's just Reddit mods who were just unethical. Of course EA's marketing team are going to dangle small treats in an attempt to control their message. It's their job as modern day Internet "account managers" to woo people to do their bidding. And I wouldn't be surprised to hear that it's super easy manipulate when one side of the business has resources while the other are just volunteers with no compensation whatsoever.

I'm about 7 hours in with Fallout. No real issues except I was killed by a door once and everyone throws grenades that instakill early on. I loved 3 and burned myself out on that content years ago. This is definitely fallout 3.5 but that's fine.

everything about fallout 4 more and more makes it sound less like an rpg and more like a borderlands style loot shooter but instead of meaningful level design and unique class builds it's all basically a moonscape filled with lootable shacks on every peak and valley, and perks for +/-% to damage and resistance.

I'd be real happy if that Nintendo Direct today had some new info on Zelda WiiU.

Is Rhythm Region Free yet?
[EDIT - Regarding the thread announcing tonight's Direct, I was sad that the overarching sentiment seemed to be "GAWD FINALLY! It's about time for a new Direct...!!!" and not, "Iwata recently passed away, I wonder if they'll do something sweet to commemorate him..."
]EmCee, you were definitely already in the camp that was predisposed to not liking Fallout 4 in the first place.
Would the news that it is now an NX exclusive suffice for you?
Door deaths. They always bring me back to Shogo MAD where opening doors was perilous. If you didn't step back, they would crush you.
not sure i get the question, singular games aren't region-free
if you did the yt or ironhax exploit, you could be playing it right now. i've been holding off, hoping for a localisation announcement in the next (i.e. today's) direct
I really wanted to like Yokai Watch, but after a few hours I'm not sure how much longer I'll keep going. The detail they put into the town is pretty amazing and it runs great, but I just can't get into the battle system at all. It just feels tedious to me.
It also gave me an excuse to download that Nintendo badge thing and I ended up wasting $10 on pointless badges I'll never use again. The game is a menace.

Yep, it would. I still don't have a WiiU, so that news would probably mean I'd never get one. I just really, really want to play a new Zelda.
It's partly why we've probably only seen the start of that shit when it comes to publishers trying to influence YT coverage and how your game is presented on big subreddits etc. It's why the ethics in games journalism crowd's stated wish that the corrupt games media dies out so THE PEOPLE can take over (YouTube) is always so funny to me. Jeff mentioned that their contact with publishers go though PR while YouTube networks increasingly go through marketing, which makes sense because the line between coverage and paid coverage is so thin.

this is like near 100% accurate
like, it's pretty enjoyable for what it is, I'm finding. but it does not do what it says on the tin.

I mean the fundamental concept of rhythm

I like Pokemon but Yokai Watch doesn't seem like something i'd enjoy. The combat system looks kinda shallow since they auto fight. That food stuff seems frustrating too. If I want to catch a Yokai and don't want to just throw random food at it i'd have to look up the food it wants.

Gaf moved through the grief phase a while ago. It was pretty strong in any event

And that I want to be hit with it. In stick form.
You can though? I accidentally murdered half of a friendly ghoul settlement because I thought it was the raider camp I was looking for. I only stopped when I noticed I had blown the brains out of 'Wise Old Man' and Codsworth started berating me.

Is this any different to any Bethesda game? Nothing they do seems impressive next to similar elements in other games, but there's so many boxes to tick and ways to power up your character that people easily get addicted.
I had no idea you could blow up those blocks with a bomb, I think he is actually going to do it.
It is selective. It depends on how important they are.
Forgot about that stream thanks for the reminder!

Jason's stream talked about the official baby of GiantBomb and failed to mention the only official baby of Giant Bomb
PLEASE DON'T SHAKE THE BABY!
Morrowind was pretty damn impressive when it came out
Oh wow he's still only on the question mark blocks in the first part.
If only Patrick understood p switchs, pow blocks, and the differences between. He could turn that empty block into a coin with the p-switch cannon and get it out of the way altogether.
That was how Dan designed it, but the bomb thing could work theoretically (with an incredibly small window). He could also trigger the invisible box, go back down on the thwomp and hit one of the floating p-switches and the empty box will turn into a coin, letting him get the box above without bothering with the bomb.
Yep. It feels like every time Patrick goes through a Dan level he learns a new quirk about the Mario mechanics.
Every time he just runs at the blocks and only does a tiny hop onto the bottom block it kills me.

There's a demo, which reveals that the game is shit. Knowledge that the developer is Level 5, however, reveals that truth even faster.
also why aren't you a cat anymore
He doesn't realize/keeps forgetting that Dan takes his levels at breakneck speed and not carefully considered.
