Don't. He played the game and it took hold of his mind. I remember that thread.

Of all the days for some of SonicGAF to take a break from things, haha.
Next few hours are going to be nuts.

I'd still rather not give a penny to the company that came up with the shitty policies to begin with, but it's good that it's happening. Those were precedents that helped no one.

Welcome to the Warriors series community thread, where we discuss all the intricacies of pressing a combination of pressing the square and triangle buttons over and over again in different patterns. While intended as a thread for discussion on Koei's Warriors/Musou series, discussion on other genre-related games like Sengoku BASARA, Ninety-Nine Nights, and other unrelated games that share the base "Musou" gameplay style.
Spanning over 40 games in the series, the influence left by the Musou-style gameplay can be traced to many other unrelated series and genres.

It's all happening so fast, my head's spinning.
Guess all that arguing I did in the "Crimson Dragon RPG?" topic ended in a good way for myself. Now I can help fund a chance at a spiritual sequel to Panzer Dragoon Saga without compromising my stance on the Xbox One's draconian DRM - because it no longer is.

Look, eventually I was gonna have to buy an Xbone to play not-Panzer Dragoon and 60fps next-gen Halo. Now I don't have to feel bad about it!

Nintendo is pretty free in every region, if the sales are any indication.

I feel like I missed something big today.
Huuuuh. So everyone's region-free except Nintendo now. Gawrsh, I didn't see that coming at all. Must've been Jimmy Fallon remarking last night that Xbox One couldn't play used games.

I looked at them as like jagged Emerald rocks.
Microsoft is still willing to be at least slightly competitive, that's a good sign. Still pushing weaker hardware for a higher price, so they'll still have fun with that.
Yeah, I've always thought of Mystic Cave as being made of rough spikes of emerald and amethyst.

There's already a Twitter/Miiverse campaign.
Lord knows if it'll actually work, but it's how we got Earthbound VC out of Japan, so anything's possible.

Oh, good. I hope Nintendo... gives it a look. We'll see.
Like I said, I wouldn't hesitate to buy one if they dropped their region-lock for both the Wii U and 3DS, and if they lowered the price just a teensy bit.
You truly are the cruelest brother.
See, I'm nice to my little bro. That's what older siblings are for!

When they see the only "yeah" i've ever bothered with that's when they'll know that business has picked up.
What? No. Besides, Sonic the Hedgehog 2006 brought us together! We're closer because of this game!

To be fair, my brother and I used to have small spats when we were younger.
Sorny called me today even though I took it in yesterday. I got my grill back, yo.
Let's all curse Ni no Kuni for killing my PS3. Also for making Noi lose hope in all of video games. Fuck Ni no Kuni.

Is Ni no Kuni that bad?
I mean the demo was boring but did it seriously not get any better from there?

Nothing wrong with Earthbound's battle system.
In fact, the rolling health thing was fucking legit.
... I take it you mean FF XIII?

The initial hours yes, then again the battle system is so macro it completely unengages me no matter what stage it's in.

Ni no Kuni is so boring. It downright insults the player half the time. The only thing that game has going for it is that it looks pretty. Even the music doesn't loop well, which is disappointing.
The battle system is a complete and utter waste of my time. The AI are fucking stupid. Even when you give them commands or All Out Attack/Defense, they still find a way to not fucking defend or not attack or hog all your glims or something. So half the time you're doing the work yourself. And then you can break the game anyway with certain familiars, the battles that give you a hell of a lot of EXP, and some accessories that boost your MAG a lot. People say that game's hard? Heck no. I was beating bosses at lower levels on Normal mode that Noi ended up grinding for indirectly. And he probably had a better familiar party than I did.
The game treats me like I'm an invalid. It feels incredibly insulting. I have to wait for a prompt to cast a spell onscreen half the time. The game continues to give me options that should have been available towards the beginning of the game 20 hours in. You guys call Zelda games too hand-holdy? Hahahaha, you haven't played Ni no Kuni! The last fraction of the game is like a Tales game where it makes no sense for it to even be there. I can't stand how this game is designed. It's terrible in terms of game design. Awful pacing, too.
I was planning on writing a post about why I dislike the game after I finished it, but Ni no Kuni decided to kill my PS3. Or as Bean put it: "It just said, no, no more of that stupid game!" And broke down because it had enough of it. :lol
Noi could totally write up something about his experience since he platinumed the stupid thing yesterday, though.

Damn, sounds like FFXIII Electric Boogalo.
I said candidate JC, yeeesh.
Locks away battle options until the game deems it necessary to give then to you, Tactics options that don't do squat, completely random enemy recruitment, and a myriad of little issues that wouldn't be too bad on their own, but quickly add up to annoy you the longer you play.
No way, I've already dedicated enough of my life to that abomination.

It says something when FFXIII's party members and CSB demonstrate more efficient battle styles, battle pacing, and synergy than flipping Ni no Kuni's.

At least when I play shitty games they over in less than 10 hours. No idea why you guys spend 40+ hour on shit you don't like. Is it because you can rant about it later on? Because I get that, kinda.
Well, NNK starts out inoffensively enough and it was charming enough to make me keep playing. By hour 30 though I'm so invested in that turd that I may as well see it through to the end, barring a glitch making me lose my progress or, well, my console dying.

I don't think you understand.
I never want to see Lightning ever again.
Not her. Not Vanille. Not Hope. Not Fang. Not Snow. Not even Sazh, and I actually like Sazh.
I want FFXIII to be purged.
I'm already dreading the inevitable KH3 cameo. :/

Then I'd dislike it more. I thought FF13-2 was markedly worse.
Yep.
