Aha, man this article that Noi had forwarded me a long time ago is incredibly interesting, making reference to how songs composed in Asia have certain chord progressions that make them distinguishable.
Even without lyrics, it sounded like a typical J-pop song.
Also, yo, PhantomOfTheKnight, if you start saying that XSEED should localize Zero/Ao before localizing SC/3rd, I'm going to give you a smack. The Kiseki games don't freaking work that way at all and I don't get why people are like, "lol, let's skip two crucial games in a series in terms of narrative standpoints and character evolution so we can get two games where we'll be completely lost as to why these characters are showing up in this capacity". I kinda get where everyone else who played the other games in the series is coming from with respect to that now. It's actually driving me up the wall, and I think it's partially due to not having a lot of sleep under my belt today and thus being incredibly cranky.

Project X Zone is everything I expected it to be. Repetitive, not challenging, grindy. But that really doesn't get to me since I play it in short bursts, as muscling through will make you one burned out camper. Is it the best game ever? Hell no. Is it a great game? Nope. Is it okay? Even that's debatable. Point is, I'm enjoying my time with it, but I cannot stress enough ( as I do in the OT), to know what you're getting into first.
I don't regret the purchase at all, it makes for a perfect hold over until Megaten IV.

I am not in a good mood, lest I say something that I'm going to regret, but man Project X Zone is mechanically boring. That's solely what I'm disappointed with (though I should have expected it with NxC) and the poor QA doesn't help.
I'm started to get stressed out again, so... ugh. Just feeling down. I forgot to pay off something for school, so I can't register for classes today. Some other issues that've cropped up in the past few days or so already had me feeling down. Yesterday really didn't fucking help in the slightest.
And then I got so angry that I broke one of my favourite pens that I've had for years. Fantastic.

I never did it before, why would I start now? I've been actively avoiding Kiseki threads because of it.

I bought Project X Zone knowing full well I was going to be buying it primarily for the fanservice (The characters from different companies interacting with each other type of fanservice, not the shit ton of jiggling cleavage shots type), and that the main game was repetitive, grindy, and simply, not all that great. Is that shallow of me? Probably. But I'm such a sucker for crossover games that I was going to end up picking this up anyway.
Lately, when I've been irritated or just flat out mad about shit, I get a snack, find the funniest movie/stand-up comedy I can think of within reach and just watch that. Actually works out well most of the time.

Yeah, Dark Schala, you like Let's Plays. Try this one. It's a buggy disaster of a game played by a guy with the most awesome French Canadian accent ever, tripping over his own imperfect English trying to keep up with all the stupid things happening. It really gets ridiculous in level 2 (Skull Caverns) and 3 (Ruined Temple)

this is the real reason why you said you don't want us to hear your voice. you have a french canadian accent don't you

Hey, you gotta love Psychedelic Eyeball's accent. It's oddly endearing, if kinda weird.
"Welcome to Prince of Perseeah 3D. Into this update..."
His accent and manner of speech are so amusing to me.

Guys this isn't a day to be miserable, it's a day to celebrate, another year has gone by and I've accomplished nothing! I've got a streak going on here, YEAH!
...okay i'll join the misery, the sonic cake is right, God is dead.

Speaking of Robotnik themes, is Sonic 2006 the game that introduced the awful Eggman theme used in Unleashed and Colors? Because... it's awful. Really awful. It feels like a 5 second loop. I'll take his Adventure or Adventure 2 theme any day. At least those were appropriately mechanical sounding.
Yet another reason for that game to be purged from history.

I hope things start looking up for everyone. :/ If' you all need to vent, feel free to do so or PM it to someone or whatever. I know it helped me out when things weren't going so great for me either.
Yeah, it's weird how that theme's ended up becoming something of a leitmotif for him. Kind of a shame, since the actual boss mixes from 06 were far and away the better versions of that track.

Fortunately I haven't had any drastic need to vent recently but i'll keep this in mind.
But anyway we were talking about crappy and repetitive Eggman themes right?

Actually, if this made getting an XRGB cheaper, I'm not sure I'd be so down on it.
I mean, you'd lose light-gun games, which is kind of a big deal, but I rarely played those.

We actually did have embed tweets enabled on GAF when the new layout was rolled out, but people started abusing them and the feature was taken away very quickly.
Just PrtSc it, and edit it in paint if you can, then upload it, like so:
That's a good way of dealing with it. I usually try to find things that make me chuckle a lot.
Someone messaged me, talked to me for a while, and cheered me up like he usually does when he gets the chance. And then I did something that made us start laughing for like 10 minutes. It's the littlest, stupidest thing to get into hysterics about, but God, it cheered me up so much. And then he made me laugh even more, and I'm just so happy that he was there. He's probably reading this right now feeling all proud of himself.
Oh nooooo, I live near Toronto so I don't have a French Canadian accent at aaaaallllllll. Nah, parts of SonicGAF has heard my voice before, and it's passable (also cheek-pinching-worthy according to Lightning Lord, but no one listens to him).
Is that Psychedelic Eyeball? Yessss, it is. Thank you! I haven't seen this one before.
WAIT A MINUTE
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, NOCTURNOWL!
Have some awesome music to celebrate!

I thought Project X Zone, based on the demos I played, seemed kind of rough. The second demo, where you face Dural at the end, was terrifying because she basically destroyed half my characters in one shot each.

Sakurai sent them a cease & desist letter, stop playing Smash competitively
Fans raised $90k for breast cancer research to get the game featured, turned out in DROVES for the largest Melee tournament ever, and Nintendo decides that it would be a bad idea to allow people all over the world to watch this event.
they lucky they sometimes make some really good games, cuz goddamn are they some backward-ass fucks
Dark Schala

I haven't played the demo, but generally, if you keep healed up, use XP items, and keep your characters together adequately to get a support attack + solo assist in, it's okay. Using TP% skills usually works. Some characters have global heals that should be taken advantage of, but the best thing is to get rid of enemies asap. Perhaps the demos were like all RPG demos: not being representative of the game in general.
My name is not Professor Beef.
And yeah, I like the bottom of the cake with Luigi just being there for no reason. Hahaha. It made me laugh.
I was just coming here to say, "What the fuck, Nintendo? What are you doing?" I actually watch EVO, so actually watching footage and understanding why you guys sing praises about it would've happened had it not been for Nintendo's... whatever they did. What are they thinking, really?
EDIT: Noi even brought up that they raised money for Smash to be at EVO for a charity event. Um.
I think Nintendo needs to get better PR. And by better PR, I mean PR that works better in conjunction with the internet/internet lifestyles.

I noticed the paywall on Something Awful was lifted.
So I've spent almost all day reading their Steam Greenlight thread.
Only 34 pages in out of 155, and wow at a lot of the crap they've stumbled upon. It's pretty hilarious!

Just when I thought they couldn't get any more backwards, holy shit.
Nintendumb.
PxZ drowns you in healing items and you can use as many as you want per turn, even using them on other people. It's pretty easy.

You can view the boards without having to pay $15 now. Previously a nag screen would come up if you tried to view anything.
Obviously, you can't sign up for an account without the dough.

Recorded 30+ minutes of Tales of Xillia footage, and the AI still didn't do what I wanted them to do (ie: use the chance-based skills when you're linked to them and not manually controlling them). Oh well. But wow, the capture card works and records fantastically. I got most of the footage I had wanted for gifs/screenshots for the OT. Might have to re-record Elise's stuff because I believe I had Tipo On/Off disabled and that defeats the purpose of the Elise stuff. I should probably get around to typing the stuff out and getting it out of the way ASAP.
Yeah, thank goodness. There were some LPs I wanted to catch up on for a while, but the darn paywall was an unwanted obstruction.
Yeah, I doubt even SE would be all, "No recordings of Dissidia allowed because lawyering! Please be excited for Dissidia 3!"
I was going to stay out of this thread to avoid Sonic Lost World spoilers, but I just want to vent here that Nintendo has truly done one of the most idiotic things I've ever seen in the gaming industry.
It's like that battle with Game Genie that they lost back in the day, but like a billion times worse. There is no logical sense to be had here, and I have endured quite a bit of their bull on their consoles for far too long for me to accept this.
It's like we can only enjoy their games the way they want us to.

I've been saying that since the region-locking thing Nintendo kept censoring inane stuff (though to be fair these games were left out) and strongarming the industry back in the 1990s.
Well. At least their hubris gave birth to a new console and a new competitor to keep things interesting in the 1990s.
...I like reading books. >.>

Shit, Dissidia even let you save your replays as AVIs to post online.
I'd probably be long dead before that feature ever made it into a Nintendo game.
Has Lost World leaked or something for there to be spoilers floating around?
PhantomOfTheKnight

What's this about Lost World spoilers? Did something leak?
No, the correct term would be "Media Blackout"
When games I an highly anticipating are coming out, I usually avoid all details. Spoilers probably wasn't the best word but it was the closest.
Seriously, it is absolutely fucking baffling they would do something like this.
Their next big game of the franchise is coming out next year for a console that's DYING, and they just pissed off the very fanbase. They could've leave it be so more people will be exposed to the franchise. They could've let the community grow and have a bigger presence in the fighting scene. It would've probably help make Smash Bros a valid fighter to many naysayers' eyes. This would've probably helped sales of SSB4 by a notable margin thanks to the exposure.
But no, they don't want to do that because they're selfish. They've screwed over everyone that was looking forward to the SSBM streams. Thousands of people were going to watch that. And they just say flat out reject the very idea of Smash Bros being streamed to a huge crowd for no real reason.
What is the fucking gain from this, Nintendo? Really? What is the loss of Smash Bros being streamed? I don't get it. I don't get half of the things you do anymore. I recall Iwata saying the Wii U is suppose to bring back the hardcore gamers but they're doing an absolutely terrible job at that for many reasons. And this is seriously not helping them.
Ridiculous.
