I would if it didn't look like it was going to start pouring at any minute outside. :/

Haha. It's been raining here all day, too. Real crummy. It's only gonna be sunny on Saturday. And after that, it'll rain a lot.
Tired of rain.
Falcom needs to hurry up and announce Ao no Kiseki Evolution for Vita already. >:|
And uh, I guess I might have to either import a Japanese 3DS or wait for a region-lock solution for 3DS because I really want to play Dragon Quest 7. That is the only DQ game I haven't played before outside of DQ10, and I'm dismayed that nothing seems to be in the cards for it apparently. Really disappointed.

That control scheme just sounds kind of weird to me. I think I'd have to try it out myself. But yeah, agreed with the level design--but, again, I have to try it for myself.
I can't wait until TGS in September for even more footage or info or something. May not be what I want in a mainline title, but it sure as hell looks kinda interesting to play because of some of the mechanics shown in that gameplay trailer.

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but if the FFXIII series is decreasing in quality over the years, that doesn't give me much faith in FFXV! (I'd like to be wrong...)
I think the level design in Lost World looks ace, actually. I've long been a fan of alternate gravity systems, and what kinds of potential opportunities it opens up for level design - and it seems Sonic Team's making the most of it, with alternate paths opening up depending on what side of the level you choose to run down. (The control issues, though, are obvious just from watching it... I have little faith Sonic Team will fix those. Hopefully they're not so bad as to ruin the game.)

Should be getting my New Leaf code at midnight, with any luck. Need to go out and get an SD card!

I don't mind a little rain, we could use it. It feels like you could drop a match in an open field and the whole state will go up in flames.

I get the feeling that Lost World will be an okay game, at this point i'm expecting maybe a slight step down from Colours and Generations but it will be solid enough that i'll have fun with it and it will hopefully lay some foundations for improving upon this new formula much like how Unleashed became the base for better games because the parkour system seems pretty good and has fun potential. But by all means i'd like it to prove me wrong and be better than those two games.
I'm still a tad disappointed that we didn't get one last swing at Unleashed style but with a refined approach to the rather dynamic and split path modern stages of Generations and most importantly of all involving sections of "Action Master" proportions.
Remember Action Master? what a delightful tease that mission was.

OK, which comes out first: Fez 2 or Kingdom Hearts III
I just looked that up... Clearly there's a bunch of great missions I've missed out on.

Maybe I'm just misremembering, but I don't remember anything particularly special about that mission...?
It had a bunch of platforming challenges. Although it looks kind of short but it looks like a nice direction for the Unleashed/Generations gameplay.

I recommend it, the bubble shield focused missions and that one board mission for Rooftop Run off the top of my head. The missions really are a mixed bag.
It required you to make use of all of Sonic's various moves in relatively rapid succession, basically it demanded more from the player and an understanding of modern Sonic's abilities that can feel underused in the main game.

YES. Action Master! I almost forgot that I used to think, "Man, I'd love another Sonic game just like Action Master!"
God, Action Master was so good.
Sigh. Nocturnowl, I'm sad now.

Yeah, I remember now. I was getting it confused with the Classic Sonic Mission that required all of the shields.
I'll say.
Seriously can't wait to see more of this at TGS.

Even without the obvious Kaz face this is a killer .gif.
edit: oh shit
The teams behind the XIII series and the KH games/Versus are pretty different. The latter actually make good games most of the time!

Guys, what's tripping and why should I hate it?
It made Brawl the worst game in the series by default.
Well, while I agree that the FFXIII series has been a nosedive to hell, its worth noting Square has different teams, and that the Kingdom Hearts team did XV, and that Kingdom Hearts has improved dramatically in quality lately (Birth By Sleep was pretty damn good.)

The wait is gonna be painful.
Brawl's slow speed was a killer...I only played it at a Best Buy for like a minute and that's all it took for me to realize it wasn't as good as Melee.

I don't understand the people who play Smash like a tourney fighter.
Your'e missing the point.

I like to play Fourside in Melee and line the walls of the buildings with smart bombs than meteor spike people down for explosive fun
But they let you play however you want though. I think tourney play is fine.
You mean motion sensor bombs? Also that sounds really fun LOL

I play with items off, honestly. I don't hate items or anything, I just like focusing on the actual combat.

I'm of the camp that people can play however they like, that said back in the melee days I got pretty damn tired of some of the people I played with only using three of the many stages and playing exclusively as Fox, Falco and Captain Falcon.
Anyway, low items for me minus the recovery items, super spicy curry, mallets, Dragoon and Smash Ball.

I like to also have the bats on hand but my siblings always throw them off the stage because I rack up an impressive kill streak when I get one...=(

I actually prefer just throwin' bats at people. It's surprisingly effective as a projectile.
I remember the first time I charged the bat item in SSB64 and did an instant kill on someone. My mind was blown. I ended up attempting it a bunch after that :lol
So fun.

A man after my own heart. Although I always make sure to grab it on the rebound if possible and hit the home run.

Throwing the star rod in melee always packed a surprising wallop, but yeah nothing beat lobbing bats.

I never told my siblings how to do it either so they really hated me for that too.

I just liked being the first to figure out that grabbing the ledge meant that no one else could.
