I wish Atlus would've given us an japanese voice option, I liked that with the Atelier games

Yeah I like the option in a lot of games. Danganronpa is the only recent game I can remember where I chose the english VA over the Japanese.
I'd choose Japanese in P4G because of (new) Chie alone. Jesus Christ she is bad

It's not anime, it's a Playstation game.

A JRPG. Same thing basically.

Seeing nph host the oscars reminded me of dr horrible, and so I watched it again just now.
It's so ridiculously good, still.

Lies! They aren't made out of potatoes. They're made of corn meal. We don't have them in Canada though (I think. I don't see them in the stores near me.).

Hey, don't look at me, John Madden said it. And yeah, I haven't seen them myself, but admittedly I've never been looking for them.

I actually just started P4 for the first time a few days ago and couldn't agree more. Other than that though its been really enjoyable.

No, that would be anime style that is common with jrpgs. We can't talk about anime, but since the opponents of anime are not saying a word against any talk about games that are not on steam I insist of calling these anime style games or games with anime like design.

We get no love from Sony.
Last few sales in the US, there wasn't even a piddlyshit "sale" for us.

What an awful puzzle/boss design.

That's not even close to true. Europe has had comparable sales to the US for quite a while now.

I think I've died more on Bed of Chaos than the rest of the bosses combined. The goddamn floor keeps opening up underneath me.

What an awful puzzle/boss design.

It's always the same places that crash, yo!

Just slowly walk, the floor always crashed before you enter it that way.

Also, after cutting the root on each side you can quit the game to menu and load again so that you'll end right in front of boss gate. Saves you all the way to the boss after dying.

[zkylon]

"Hate" is a strong word for it (and should only be followed up by the word "Plus"), but I did find myself at odds with my own enjoyment of Lifeless Planet. The sense of scale was impressive at times, and atmosphere is well-established in pretty smart ways considering the manpower on hand to make the game. Unfortunately, the writing and scenarios put too many marks on the board against it. Something felt distinctly cheesy about it, like a bad McCarthyism-era anti-communist pamphlet. "Don't get your ass to Mars, the red planet is a Communist Planet!" The platforming segments sometimes felt grating and the rest of the puzzles were pretty clumsily implemented.

I do give it credit for a strong opening, but as a whole I found the game to be fairly weak. I praised Kairo for its minimalist approach to scale, and even as a one-man-army project like Lifeless Planet, I felt it hit the marks a bit better by better integrating the few gameplay elements it did have. Lifeless Planet got in the way too much with poor attempts at scares, janky puzzles, unfortunate design decisions like arbitrarily disabling the jetpack because reasons, and wrapping up on what I found to be a really misguided and slightly preachy note.

I can see why some would like it, and I wouldn't think less of anyone who did, I just feel like I somehow played a different game than those who praise it.

i think all your complaints are valid, but to me the atmosphere and most of all the sense of scale completely outweights them

how it conveys scale is super clever, how little screen space is devoted to the player character compared to the mostly monochromatic and empty backgrounds and how the macro depth of field effect gives the game a sort of diorama feel that makes the player look and feel tiny

i dunno about kairo, that game never interested me

So my mother in the states wants to know if she can buy a game and gift it to me. I know you need an account..but does that new account need to have a game inorder to buy stuff as a gift?

Depending on where you are, there may be some of the new region restrictions. (Worst case, your mother could always buy a Steam Gift Card and give you the code for that)

Hopefully someone with more expertise in cross-region stuff can help you out, as I'm far from an expert.

There's also a hidden bonfire somewhere around those parts that made the trek easier. Not much of a boss really, just a puzzle and some janky platforming.

 

[freshVeggie]

^^ You mean the bonfire in the lavapit with the half dragons? Yeah, I went there much later sadly :/

Doesn't even count as a boss if you ask me.

There were many lazy and boring bosses if you ask me.

Firesage Demon? Asylum Demon rehash.
Centipide Demon? So cheap by having so little room to fight.
Bed of Chaos? Gimmick boss. But a lazy at that. Could have been made much more interesting easily.
Capra & Taurus Demon? They just took later regular enemies and threw them at noob-class players. But they are still alright compared to the others.

Doesn't change that I really like DS.

Someone needs to start a poll on whether Bloodborne will have a terrible gimmick boss. I'd vote for yes. Also probably palette swap bosses.

So my mother in the states wants to know if she can buy a game and gift it to me. I know you need an account..but does that new account need to have a game inorder to buy stuff as a gift?

Your mom can set up her own Steam account, and send the gift to you via e-mail and that should work just fine. She won't be able to send the game "directly through Steam" because that requires you two to be Steam friends, which is one of the community features that you can't access until you own a game on Steam.

Depending on where you are, there may be some of the new region restrictions. (Worst case, your mother could always buy a Steam Gift Card and give you the code for that)

Hopefully someone with more expertise in cross-region stuff can help you out, as I'm far from an expert.

Gifting a game shouldn't be restricted (unless it's specifically disabled by the developers) only trading was gimped by the new restrictions.

Does your mom live in Eastern Europe, South America, or South-East Asia? If not, you're most likely fine.

EDIT: just re-read and you said your mom was in the states, so it's all good.

Use arrows to shoot her on either side, saves you the trouble of running up and hitting them with a melee weapon

Yeah, that one. I was hitting everything in sight desperately trying to find a bonfire lol. There was no message there like in other sections so I ended up leaving one.
