Something....awoke in Alex. He got that taste of hope from Project B.E.A.S.T and it's ruined him.

"Ignorance Is Bliss" applies to anime more than anything else.
Are you saying hope leads to virtual Fresno? Because that is terrible.

I just want Alex to be happy
The closest thing to happiness in Fresno is meth.
I think Alex's brain is wired in such a way the things that delight normal people terrify him and vice versa.

Early GOTY contender, I see. Taking over the office by storm.
I know literally zero things about Digimon but with the next pokemon and yo-kai watch seemingly still far away I am tempted. Should I give it a shot?
It's sort of a SMT-like where you build affinity with wild monsters so you can then summon them and can take them through multiple evolutionary branches. If that sounds cool to you, then go for it. The evolution system is pretty complex where you can devolve monsters to raise their level cap, go down different evo branches and get new skills that way. It's a bit hard to wrap your head around at first, but it seems neat.
Story wise, it has zero to do with any digimon anime or other media. It's a completely unique world. The only thing it has in common is that digimon exist in this world as well. You can easily go in with zero knowledge about what digimon are.
Sounds pretty awesome, but I would have to play it on PS4, not really how I like playing these kind of games. Really wish it was a 3DS title. :/

So regarding the nitro+ thing, did you guys know that al is actually the necronomicon?
That Japan has somehow turned into a girl?

As far as creature raising JRPGs go, so far this one seems super on-point for me. The way evolution works is something really different and gives the genre the shot in the arm I really dig. I prefer these games on a portable as well, that's why I'm playing on Vita, but if playing on a home console isn't an absolute deal breaker, I would definitely check it out. The only complaint I have so far is that the human character designs are pretty garbage. That's par for the course with Yasuda unfortunately. I'm not sure why video game companies have to keep getting him to guest artist their stuff. Digimon World: Re
igitized's designs were also bad and so were SMTevil Survivor's. I'm a bit biased since I want this to do well so we can continue getting Digimon games in the west. I think the Digimon World stuff is pretty bad, and the game they'd likely realize next is one of those, but I'd absolutely be into more games in this vein.
The character Saber is actually
King Arthur
Excalibur
That Japan has somehow turned into a girl.
God, Saber is the worst. She actively tries to tear down any VN/show she's involved in. Fate/Stay Night isn't great by any stretch, but it has some neat ideas. Any time she comes up, though, everything is just in the toilet. She even managed to make parts of Fate/Zero bad, a show that is actually decent on most levels.
She's like a walking vacuum of charisma that actively makes everyone around her less interesting.

Yeah but al is needed to pilot a giant eldritch mecha used to fight Lovecraftian horrors.
I think I win in anime weirdness.

She's named al as a shortened version of al azif.
Like, I can't remember it too clearly now, but I think you have a dream sequence involving Abdul alhazred at one point?
Shit runs deep.
Also the mecha plays with alternate universes in really dumb ways.
It's a really dumb vn.

Ugh, you're making me feel some kind of way. >.<

Also try finding a version with no porn.
Because there's definitely some porn in this VN.
Though really, I find it hilarious mostly because it constantly undermines the entire tone of Lovecraft by being the most generic ass hot blooded shonen possible.
It somehow managed to make something out of two things that are at the opposite ends of the spectrum.

Super serious VNs with random porn are the best. The porn always comes off horrible, unsexy and hilarious.
Finally, The Raid AND Mario Party Party come together in a massive synergy explosion
Capcom and Nintendo's arcade relationship is so weird. Remember when they developed two arcade only sequels to Donkey Kong Jungle Beat?
Let's not forget that this is the man who did a speed run of Big Rigs at one of the GDQs. He's looking for his next game to break.Move aside Vinny.
FFFFUUUUCCCCKKKK!!!!
If only you could pull The Fast and Furious style heists against the truckers.
Well, now they pretty much have to go to Japan.

At least she gets called out in Fate/Zero.
Fate/Zero is so good.
That scene in Fate/Zero whee all the best characters get together just to shit on Saber might be the best part of Fate/Zero.

Yet there's like a gatrillion merchandise with saber.
Just read Austin's story on Hearthstone implementing huge card bans. If you want an example just how badly Blizzard screwed up the meta of that game, there you go. I honestly don't remember a TCG/CCG that needed to do that so quickly.
Well, Merchandise isn't based on character quality. Have an Otaku appealing design that you can put in a massive variety of costumes? You're going to have a shitton of merchandise potential.

and she's in salty bet
she has an X version where she parries everything
it's annoying
For that to happen they need to finally do another Mario Party Party!
Every CCG does that to keep things competitive. They are just removin old sets from competitive play, which means the new stuff will actually be used and new players don't have to hunt down tons of old cards. It's a good development.
The problem isn't that they did it, but that they've gotten to this point so quickly. If they can't balance a handful of expansions, than you've got some core design issues.

Jeff's going to have to buy a wheel!

I want to get American truck simulator but I already have dragon's dogma as my "spend a long ass time traveling a mildly interesting countryside" simulator.

Wrong about commas, wrong about everything
Somebody should make that for when Alex and Austin both screamed
his name after timewarping
I really don't think it is that much about balancing and more about keeping the game growing. You tell a new player they need to buy 3 single player expansions and get legendaries from 4 or 5 different sets. That is a huge turn off for anyone. This has been something that a lot of people with CCG experience were actually hoping for including me.
