I need XSEED to give me a date for Trails in the Sky ASAP so I can plan my life around it.

lol yea, they're all pretty big games
drakengard is pretty cool if you can endure it, it's one of the craziest games I've played. can't believe that game actually got published.
actually the only xenosaga game I've played so far is 2 and I kinda really liked it back in the day, but I'm not sure if I would right now. still out of respect for xenogears I feel like I should give the series a chance
and yea vp2 combat is great, but I didn't care at all for how shitty they made lezard look. like he was so fucking awesome in vp1, it really depressed me to see him take a back seat in vp2. having a full valkyrie team+brahms was amazing doe
but in general it felt like a downgrade for me after vp1, which kind of mirrors my feelings for ps2 rpgs in comparison with ps1 rpgs
with the exception of persona 3. persona 3 is the best shit ever
Most definitely this; Star Ocean, Suikoden, Final Fantasy, Valkyrie Profile etc. were never quite the same on the PS2. I still loved the genre, but those PS1 JRPG's were something special. As for Valkyrie Profile, I loved the battle system in Silmeria, preferring it to the first game. However, VP2 didn't really come that close to matching the atmosphere, soundtrack and visuals and story in VP1.
You'll probably have a similar experience with Xenosaga. It won't live up to the ambition and scale of Xenogears, but they're pretty good games. XSIII holds up incredibly well and is the true gem of the series. It's such a shame it took them three games to get it right. By that time, the series was dead in the water.

Broken Age hits Steam tomorrow, for backers that is.
Haven't been this hyped in a really long time. Just...one...more...day...!
Bu-but... tomorrow is the day of The Banner Saga... Broken Age will have to wait :/
I liked it. The story is not very long (nor interesting), but as you have the chance to replay in ng+ or just play different randomly-generated maps, you might end up spending a lot of time with the game.
My favourite character was the Embermage and I finished the game twice (second time at Elite difficulty). It's a nice class, but it's nearly impossible to finish the game at Elite difficulty in ng+: I'll be forever stuck at that damn level where you have the follow the light.
If not for that particular level, I'd probably have a 100 level character right now and I would have played much longer (so far, I'm sitting at 75+ hours).
Overall, I suggest it for that price, especially if you like the genre.

Ok, another question.
JaseC linked Trashbot, who I added, and proceeded to gift all the coupons I don't want.
However, Trashbot refuses to accept the trade I made... what's up with this?

Even Trashbot has standards, ok?

Anything with 21+ pages of Toki Tori 2+ coupons should be happy to take my Divekick coupon (and the rest of the stuff I don't want).

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.
Seems like bullshit to me. Thumb size is highly variable. (as a percentage, at least) Even worse, the distance between your thumb and eye changes the result massively. "Just hold your thumb at arms length", you say. Our arms aren't the same length, though.

I'm also super, super excited. Backed day one, can't wait to finally get to play some of this! I was playing a little of Monkey Island 2 last night and it struck me how, as much as I love these games and the impact they had on me over the years, I wish I could forget all the puzzles so I could go through them again blind. This is a chance to have a spiritual successor to those games and go through fresh, I can't wait.
You're way too late on that one. Fallout as I knew it was gone forever the moment I discovered mods. >.>
People with freak short arms or gigantic thumbs have clearly had too much radiation already.
How can you tell which battles are graded? I only find out once they are over and the score appears.
I'm on the 3rd mission now (or Case #2), and the game is great. Now I'm enjoying it a lot, even thought I'm still pretty bad at it.

Making it all caps must've helped for metal gear rising
It kind of all spills out in the ending.
Looks like there's still DayZ and Rust fever going around.

How did everybody get along with Dragonborn? Currently setting up Skyrim, tediously relearning how to mod it again (Gopher is a king amongst men) and setting it up exactly how I want it. My last playthrough stopped short of jumping into Dragonborn, after completely fatiguing on the game, I just abandoned my playthrough. I'd finished the main quest, which was disappointing and lost interest. I've got that urge again to play it; might be something to do with the gorgeous screenshots in the 2014 thread. Just wanted to know how Dragonborn measured up. Interested to get opinions on it.
The video you posted here was extremely helpful. All of that should have been part of the tutorial, I think.

That's like "arrow to the knee"-being an ancient nordic proverb: not true. If you can see the mushroom cloud, you're already too close.
Running will serve you better than sticking up your thumb.
I still have trouble parrying that dog.
I think I have like a 50% success rate with things I know how to parry lol, especially with the camera auto adjusting and multiple mobs, it's kind of tough, unless I could single out an enemy into an area where it can't move much, then I could do just fine.
And GODUS, which I can only imagine is selling well due to brand confusion and/or blackmail, and CAPS
If you can see the mushroom cloud, running won't help you as well.
lol, I was thinking the same. Now we can share the pain of those who lost their N64 controllers playing Mario Party last century.
Despite awful reviews the number of people playing is considerable.

Messed around with Ys I for 2 minutes bumped into a enemy a few times and dided.
Yeah if I'm going to play that I need to take it seriously. Didn't even realize I was getting hurt.

Was just on RPS and looking through their free games of the week and saw one called Last Chance Supermarket. This is great. high-speed shopping with a chance of death.

If they fleshed it out, I'd love to Greenlight it.

Fuck someone took all the toy rockets
You are on a 10 hour car drive and need to pee, but you only can pee at your own house. You come home after 10 hours, run to the toilet and pee for like 2 minutes with great relief and the largest grin on your face.
It's kinda the same with Bioshock Infinite's story.

If you can remember all your passwords they're probably too weak or you use the same for many sites. Don't do that, generate a good one for every single thing and store them in a manager (I use KeePass too).

Dear diary,
Please tell SteamGaf I'm sorry, for I have sinned. I have played games. But nothing too spectacular.
DayZ
Mmh, maybe a big mistake on my part. I have social anxiety and the idea of speaking over a mic to some stranger is not my idea of fun. And the few times I encountered someone were clear about one thing : I am understood... but I don't understand a lot myself. Accents are the ban of my digital existence. Listening to someone from east Europe trying to speak English was strange. I'm not saying I'm superior, maybe I was pathetic, but yeah, communication is hard in the Russian zombie wasteland.
Problem being... I'm not sold on the game itself. Let's forget accents, shyness etc... I played for some hours, it was nice, but I don't know, it lacks something to make me return to it. The land was almost barren of zombies, and the main occupation was looting houses. Not really fascinating over time. Maybe with a crew the game shines a lot more, but I don't know, it lacks something, a goal maybe ? In this states, apart from looting and shitting bricks each time you see another player, I don't see much.

Nice, the thematic management games like Them Hospital are back ! Cool. But nothing to really see here, it's early access and it feels like early access. Once you manage to tame the UI, build all there is to build (not so much), the only thing you can keep doing is hate the brain dead AI of you crew.
There is indeed potential, but that's future potential.
Lego Marvel
After finishing the game some weeks ago, I am playing it to earn the few achievements I missed. Boring. Boring as all hell. While being a Marvel fan more than a DC one, I keep thinking that Lego Batman 2 levels were way better. Lego Marvel levels are slow, environments are repetitive (FF tower, then Green Goblin tower and oh my, Stark tower...). Still a nice game, but really, nope, didn't have the same pleasure as with Lego Batman 2.

Yeah, I have it...just need to use it more. I've relegated it now as my 'oh shit' button. I'm sure I'll get better at it, trying to get Parrying down first.
This is a lot creepier than expected. Good job, I guess?
