It won't. I have the game and I enjoyed what I played of it but I need to go back because Yakuza 0 got its hooks in me and I forgot all about Nioh lol.
That was a beautiful review. I am very excited to jump into this game later today.
It depends on what you're looking for in the end, for me I acknowledge stuff like soundtrack, story, mood, atmosphere.etc and these play a big part in the overall package for me. For some, they want the gameplay to be the standout instead of everything else and that's fair.
It would be funny to see, but I think Jeff is kinda done with that joke

It ain't a joke to me man!
Nah for real though with like actual hentai games coming out on steam now that doesn't even seem that egregious anymore.

The first few minutes of house party when you're just doing a meet and greet with all the guests.
I get that. But that isn't the game that they were pitching. It may have been in the beginning, but if you followed their documentaries the game evolved from that.
Saying "hire platinum" is misunderstanding the game that they made, both from a production and a design standpoint. This game was made with 20 odd developers, outsourcing the game to a foreign developer is way beyond what their budget could handle, and the combat isn't really much like a character action game.
He's literally saying that excited Shine Abby is just like the adorable excited child from Despicable Me, with the voice she makes. Nothing weird about it.

Thank you for your timely clarification.
everything except the colour coded enemies is alright, but the fucking colour coding is worse than bayo parry-almost-every-attack enemies.
anyway, did anybody order some jpn hitmans
they did a really good job with finding a handler as composed as diana, though I guess it's kind of just a newscaster voice
Thx for yr. snark
No, all I want is Season 2. When IO?

I agree. Then again when it comes to Ninja Theory I already know what to expect. I am always into their characters and worlds except for DmC where the gameplay is obviously the thing they focused on the most and it was fine. But what I remember the most after all that time has passed are games like Heavenly Sword & Enslaved.

Is breaker slaw the one where they use vinegar instead of mayo?
i think i might be going slowly crazy but i have spent the last two days thinking about my budgeting app You Need A Budget and how I should break down my budget and how to reconcile it with my bank monies
i think doing my tax return finally made me realise oh hey you actually earn money now and need to decide how it's spent on things and now i've gone mad
i mean i've been budgeting for like a year but i feel like something in my head flipped and now i gotta figure out how this shit actually works

Just be like me and spend as much as i want as long as i can still survive while having a pretty solid "buffer savings" so that I'll still be alright if shit goes down.
That's how budgeting works right?

This looks cool. Seems addictive in a Crusader Kings way. I like the art style but not sure about the single colour palette.
i mean i spent 700 bucks on computer hardware and didn't blink because i'd actually budgeted towards it and that was weirdly refreshing
like i wasn't 'raiding' my savings account or anything, i'd already budgeted the money, so it was fine

I dunno, I say if it's your first year of full employment splurge a little because you got the rest of your life to worry about budgets.
I barely had any savings after my first year.
I went right from college to a well paying actual adult real job in the past few months so I'm living the Antiwhippy life right now out of not knowing how to deal with it, but should probably look into YNAB and then wince at how much money I waste each week.

Steal my Sunshine is so good. I was laughing so much at Vinny's first star.
I think Dan is the only guy who is super enthusiastic about anything he loves. Everyone else always sounds lukewarm even if they love a game.

I'm watching KH Part 2 right now, and damn does this "level check" joke get old.
well technically it's my third but because i spent the first two basically in permanent 'being paid in yen isn't actually real money' mode i'm treating it like my first

I feel like the hellblade review read more like a 5 star honestly.

I'm assuming a lot of stuff from the early hours will be recontextualized by the end (and I still expect at least some of the character quirks I hate to have Reasons for existing), but even so, they could have covered all the same beats in at least half the time. I think it's more of an editing problem for me than anything else. It dragged in a way that reminded me of really early movies, lingering at the end of scenes to show characters specifically entering/leaving the room before they realized audiences could still follow along if they simply cut to the next thing after the 'meat' of the scene had ended.
(It's also entirely possible that most VNs are paced this way and it just isn't for me; I've only played stuff like Zero Escape and Danganronpa. Which reminds me, I still need to play the 'remastered' 999.)
Chapter... 6? I forget if the chapters turned over. But
Suzuka just explained the whole "We have to escape Attractor Field Alpha" thing

If I'm going to guess which character traits is the one you hate I'm going to say kinda yes?
It kinda does do some recontextualisation as a story telling method but not really that much. It's more about the ride along the way really. It's not anywhere near nier automata levels.
Also, speaking of recontextualisation as a story telling device, once you're done with steins;gate may I recommend the house in fata morgana? I feel like it'll be way more up your road.

It's a neat idea for a game but it looks a little too simple for me.

Man Dragon Quest 11 looks so dope, I hope I'm still alive when it's localized in 7 years

I am so happy that Brad reviewed Hellblade. What an amazing game. I echo everything he said in his review, but probably would have given it a perfect score. Its my GOTY by far. PLAY THIS GAME.

Same, I just moved across the country last week to start my post-college job, except it doesn't start until next Monday and in the meantime I'm sitting here dropping thousands on furniture and initial apartment fees with technically 0 income. My budget software is constantly like "uhhh are you sure about this one, bud?"
It's been officially announced for next year I think, so it should happen? Unsure if Dragon Quest has a history of taking too long to localize though.
I've never played one of these games but pretty excited to check out XI when it comes out. Bought 8 for the 3DS so I'll mess with that

What do those budget apps do, exactly? Do you input every expenditure into it? I recently redid my budget in preparation for buying a car next year, and maybe I should have done so with an app.
