It's probably best they don't play Fire Emblem, then. If Timers in XCOM bothered them, the defense missions in Conquest would make them hate that game.

Oh wow, I didn't know about that EXP trick.
I'm not big on Omnimon either, but I remember really like Magnamon and Magnaangemon from the show. This game has been doing a crazy good job of reminding just how big I was on Digimon a decade ago lol.

No, something's changed with that art in the last 7 years. It's...gaudy now.
Plus I still don't know why they didn't go with like, Doi in DeSu. /shrug

So I just finished Personal 4 Golden. (It's one of the best games of all time, definitely.)
Will this Digimon game fill the void left in my heart?

Trying to find non-counterfeit carts for any of the Gameboy/GBA ones is a nightmare. They also super expensive. I expect prices to go up as the Virtual Console ones hit and a nostalgia run starts.
There's also some weird side games that can be tricky to get.
I actually have a decently sized collection of the mainline games. Only ones I'm missing are the GBA Remakes (which are stupid expensive and I wish I had) Black 1 and 2, HeartGold, Pearl, X, and Omega Ruby.
I kind of want to go and complete it, but I haven't for the reasons I stated above.
It's a better monster collecting RPG than Persona, but it's very much worse in every other aspect. If you go in knowing that, there's fun to be had. It's a solid 7.5-8/10 game for me right now purely on the gameplay and I'm a little over half done.

Agreed, Doi's been really proving himself the last few years between his new P2/SH art and the character designer for SMT4. Glad to see he's been getting new work, but they really gotta let Kaneko out of the Atlus basement already.
Depends on what you're looking for. If you're looking for characters/story, no. If you're looking to fill the monster collecting hole, then yes.
Though you should really play SMT: Nocturne if you really wanna collect demons.

anyone else have one of these bad boys growing up?
I'm sure it's where the idea for Grip started
Yep, I remember the dope commercials of the kids ramping them over rocks and stuff.
Trails of Cold Steel, homie.
Agreed. I like Tabasco on pizza too.
Bleh, maybe I'll just get me a good condition gameboy and japanese cart of Red and call it a day.

Unfortunately, Nocturne isn't available on PSTV. That's the only Sony platform I have. I'd totally go for it otherwise.
That's a bummer. The balance between the two is what makes Persona 4 so good.
But I'm always up for more collecting.
Thanks, y'all.

The first two are still backlogged and unbought.

Damn
You don't need to play the first two trails games to play Cold Steel. Same world, but separate story and mostly separate characters.
If you're craving a really good story and characters, all of the trails games are definitely the way to go.

I second this. Trails games are the best story I've seen in an RPG post Persona 4. So damn good.
Both Trails in the Sky FC and Cold Steel are a bit slow, so go in knowing that. They absolutely earn that pacing, though. FC takes until the second Sky game to fully pay off, but I think Cold Steel pretty much pays itself off by the end of the first game.

Waiting for Giant Bomb to be absorbed into GameSpot. Any day now.
Thought this was going to be a joke. Wtf.
Also Tested died when the Mythbusters guys joined. Haven't went there since Will left.

NinjaEdit: Nevermind. Their Youtube channel is not inspiring my confidence like the site did.
I think that (hopefully) Giant Bomb makes a heck of a lot more money than comic vine.
nothing will. i'm sorry.

it wouldn't be accurate anyway because we all know screened was the best
isn't Comic Vine made up of like two people? they have a handful of good video series like teaching you who a character is but it's not an ongoing series. Tony keeps making content for shit i don't care about. i barely visit that site.
well, i'm not saying he's bad at the game or anything. i'm impressed he didn't max out the Avatar bar like i did. but i don't understand why he didn't just build the radios to complete the networks for more perks. kinda odd to me.

Even if that were to happen, I think (well, more like naively hope) not much would change. In fact, aren't their desks practically all in the same area now, unlike how things were when they were on the third floor?

Giant Spot is the future of games journalism.
Their logo can be a giant bomb with a spot on it.

Geez, Translate turns MGSV's title into a probable list of alternate Snake Eater Boss Codenames:

The Phantasmagoria 2 conclusion was great. Just wish Austin had been there for it.
You know what you have to do next, Vinny... Finish BladeRunner, once and for all. I can bust out the image recaps I made for you so we can recreate your save file. DO IT

Sadly, this is probably a smart move for them, assuming GameSpot then goes on to staff up their new entertainment arm. This is a perfectly cynical move that will likely pay off in the long run.

Conversely, I can't image why they would merge Giant Bomb. If the site tanks, they can rescue a few people from losing their jobs. If Giant Bomb succeeds, merging will only destroy anything good about it.

The saga is finally complete.

I doubt it. CV is one of the biggest comic sites on the net for traffic and has next to no overhead. This reads more that Gamespot is already posting about Marvel movies and Star Wars trailers so they might as well merge editorial.

Giant Bomb is visited more than Comic Vine:
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/giantbomb.com
http://www.alexa.com/siteinfo/comicvine.com
And traffic doesn't make money. That's what Giant Bomb has a subscription service for.

Looking forward to see what this game is all about. They changed their messaging on this so many times that I really have no idea what it is supposed to be anymore.
Does it have a premium subscription model, though? I really wonder how much money subs make GB each year. If they only have 10,000 subscribers, that's half a million a year.
