I might draw the P4 characters in Super Sentai outfits. Good idea?
I love Wind Waker. It's on my rental list, they just haven't sent it me yet.
No interest at all in Bayonetta, and very little in X.

Only if they don't have helmets on and Teddie is human.
Dantis, I thought you sold your Wii U?
W101 is in my top 3 games from last year, but it sure as hell ain't for everyone. Honestly, I disliked it for a solid 3 hours before it clicked. I think that's pretty bad game design from anyone's point of view, but when it clicks, it clicks.
The game's just really horrific at explaining its systems. It's like everyone who works for platinum is an expert at their own games and some kind of group think takes over when they design tutorials. MGR had this problem as well, but nowhere near as severe as W101.
In other news, DDS 1+2 come in today. Psyched to finally start this. Any tips?

If they had helmets on, how would you know that it was them?
I was just thinking it would be neat, and then I could customise each outfit slightly to match each character.
In this case, oh gods yes.
Uh... sure, why not? Go for it
Also, can't believe you haven't found a single game that you liked. What types of games do you even like!?

Tried to sell my Wii U back in June, and failed. They offered me a vastly reduced price because I scratched it, haha. STUCK WITH THE BASTARD FOREVER.
I don't think you need any advice for DDS except for learning how the hunting and ability-EXP system works. It's pretty easy. Play it however, and just enjoy it. Great game.
Also be sad that the drunkards at Atlus US replaced the opening song (A Meguro track, no less) with an electronic pop song (Which is actually an alright song, but whatever).
Superior EU/JP opening.
Everything else I've played has been nothankyou.jpg.

I guess it's unfair to say that there hasn't been a single game I've liked. I enjoyed NSMBU quite a lot (Though I'd never buy it) and thought Luigi U was decent.Uh... sure, why not? Go for it

Me too, I've been hearing only good things about it.
I think we're related then; I'm Scottish and French (Canadian) mostly, and the Scottish ancestry was Clan Campbell. We're bastards for sure! XD
My main one is finishing the Tough Mudder I signed up for. It's on June 1st, so I've still got time to prepare. On the VG side, I just want to finish some of the games from last year that I missed due to my injury...
Oh, and:
Welcome, and enjoy P4G. I can already see we'll be friends.

5284-2206-1177. I'll add you in a bit.
I'm playing through W101 right now (finished Operation 003 last night) and this is pretty much how I feel. It took a while for it to click for me (and tbh, I'm still getting used to it), but once it does, it's really great. I think I still slightly prefer MGR as my Platinum Games of choice.
If you're on operation 003 and it's already started to click, you're really in the clear. It just keeps getting better and better. The key is to craft credit cards and use them to get the more expensive upgrades right away, like the Ukemi. I hate how platinum locks away everything behind upgrades because it makes their games leave a really bad first impression. There's no reason you should have to buy core mechanics such as blocking or dodging in any game, and that goes for MGR too. It's even worse in MGR since countering is what that game is all about.
But yeah, whereas I felt that MGR's second half was a little underwhelming (save for the final boss), W101 just keeps getting more ridiculous and amazing. That's the key difference that gives W101 the slight edge in my eyes. Also, W101 just has a lot more variety. Of course, not everything it tries completely works, but it really avoids getting stale. Both MGR and W101 are in my top favorite games from last year, though, so that's a thing.
If I draw the Sentai pictures, I will do.
Probably with her hair down though. Pigtails are no good.

My exact thoughts on W101. Played the demo and it was kind of confusing and I wasn't a big fan of it at first, but by the last mission for the first Operation, I was fucking hooked and with how much more insane it gets, it was easily my GOTY this year. Such a fantastic game.
Excellent idea! I was just thinking the other day someone should do this!
Yeah, Platinum needs to stop doing that and the fans need to stop defending it. Your rich mechanics are worthless if you can't stop and properly explain them to me on a base level.
Reminds me of how people needs the Rising demo impressions thread to tell them there are actually a fob of moves in the game, with no mention whatsoever in the demo. Looking forward to playing that on PC next week though. Not looking forward to the download. 25GB, Jesus. -_-
I was going to, but the section I was playing of Rsident Evil: Revelations last night (that game is GOOD,btw) took longer than I expected.
Wolf Children is fucking amazing, just so you guys know. Bought the blu-ray for myself for Christmas, it's just as good as the last time I saw it.
Just noticed this, my FC is 3668-7701-9486. Already added you.

Anarchy Reigns. I legitimately cannot remember a single thing of marketing the game had going for the US release after Sega delayed that game for fuck knows whatever reason they did.
Man, Platinum just gets the shit end of the stick with marketing sadly.

Great games and shit marketing. It's really sad.
Konami actually advertised MGR and the game sold fairly well. Go figure!
Having a solid IP behind it helped too, I'm sure.
I completely agree with this, particularly on the console side. If Platinum was quicker about getting their games on PC, I think they could find a more stable audience. God bless 'em for making the games they want to make though. I'm sure it sucks for them (or really, the people funding them) but man, it's so refreshing.
I hope Bayonetta 2 does well. I know there aren't many Wii U owners out there but hopefully they'll be interested in an M rated character action game starring a sexed up librarian.......yeah it's going to bomb. I'll hopefully have a Wii U by the time it comes out though, love the first game.

Platinum is one of the best game studios out there, and it's a dang shame that their games don't get the sales they deserve.
Seriously though, I'm hard-pressed to think of one Platinum/Clover game that I actually dislike. They gave me two of my Top 10 games of 2013, including my #1. That by itself is a testament to their competence.

AR and Vanquish (the latter of which needs to be on PC, btw) could've caught on with bros, had they been marketed.
I hope whatever they do after Bayo 2 is a reasonable hit. Making great games that always flop makes it hard for a studio to keep getting work.
Which, in the year ourLuigi Lord 2014, means resorting to Kickstarter. Not necessarily a bad thing, but I don't want to see PG go that route.

I mean like, aesthetically, and in terms of premise, it doesn't seem like something that would appeal to any kind of western audience.
I just discovered that I have a twitter account that's been dormant for two years. So uh...

I think it was meant to be marketed at comic book fans aged 6-12 .

I didn't know what to make of it. Madworld was much better though. I kept thinking about how bizarre it was that they would use the characters and make an almost completely different game off of it. I was hoping they would make a legit sequel.

It would've been so fucking godlike if I didn't need multiple consoles to do local multiplayer with my friends.
Should go without saying, honestly.
I liked all three of those games. Vanquish seems like the most contentious game of them. Hopefully you like it, I found it fun. Okami and Bayo are leagues better though.
Haha, the wonders of medieval promiscuity. xD

Seriously why no local vs was in that game is far beyond me. Oh well, at least (in the rare chance you can find enough people to play it with) Death Ball is an absolute blast.
You guys mind if I add you all, too? I just thought it'd be weird to add you without even asking first. For the record, my code's 2552-0597-8756.
Cool, hopefully I'll see you in the book club thread, then. It's funny, because I've been a member for a while now, but I'm only really now looking into off-topic and its community stuff. So far, it seems really cool, though.
Gonna have to agree with what everyone's said do far. Still, at least the music was rad.
In terms of pure gameplay-- it pretty hard to top Platinum Games. The depth an fluidity to the combat in Bayonetta is basically unrivalled.
I really hope they don't keep having bomba's because that studio is incredible.
UNREALATED: Have any of you weebs ordered anything from Rightstuf.com before? If so--was it a pleasant experience?

Yes. That's a fairly popular place to get BD/DVDs from.
Yeah, they're cool. What are you planning on buying? The overly expensive Fate/Zero boxsets.
No problem with getting stuff off Rightstuf, in my experience.
Keats--I'll be sending you that box of goodies later today. We'll finally find out how long it takes Canada post to reach one end of the country to the other.
That'd be exactly what I'm going after.
Fuck we always joke about that Aigis Vanquish game but I would seriously love that.

Go for it. Adding your FC now!
I didn't think about it, but it is quite literally going from one end to the other isn't it? Wow. This will be a great test.
