I wish I had more fun with Korra, but I didn't. I liked the use of the music from the show, though and the voice actors. The story was ok and at least added to the canon. I wish Korra used a sword like Raiden. The aesthetic was still nice even though it wasn't as great as the art from the show.

Jinora sounded like she was phoning it in though. The animation looked worse than in the show. You'd think it would look better.

And the enemy design was lacking, but hey

It was 15 bucks.

Its being made by platinum.... so you know the combat is going to be good.
Hell even the korra game had great combat, everything else about it was mediocre though.

Also... if Mickey is DIO.
Does that mean Mickeys head is on a ducks body?
I know the combat's gonna be good, I need to see more of the game to justify getting hyped for it. I probably will be hyped anyway.

O.O I don't know how I feel about that. It's pretty gruesome when you think about it.

With how rare Xenosaga is, it doesn't really matter if he pirates it or not at this point. Not that I endorse it, its just not as big a deal since you can only find the games used.

I wanted to play xenoblade since everyone tells me its one of the best modern JRPG's.... and its impossible to find, unless you want to spend 200 bucks on a video game.

My favorite thing about SMT4 really has to be how varied all the kill animations are for each of the different types of attacks. Gun, Ice, Fire, Smashes (the ones where they implode outwards in a bloody spurt), Hama, Mudo, Almighty... SO GOOD

THOSE DON'T EVEN NEED TO BE THERE AND THEY LOOK SO FUCKING AWESOME GODDAMN


I wanted to play xenoblade since everyone tells me its one of the best modern JRPG's.... and its impossible to find, unless you want to spend 200 bucks on a video game.
That's just because everyone kicked and screamed for it to come here and then people didn't buy it when it first came out, then copies stopped circulating making it become rare and then all of a sudden "OMG GAMESTOP HAS THE NERVE TO CHARGE $70 FOR IT" and then it doesn't sell at that price and drops to $50 and sells out and now everyone is mad they can't buy it, it was in stock forever when gamestop first released it
 
I actually enjoyed 1. Never got to far into 2 before the system shat out on me. Yeah I definitely need to get 3. I also need to play Xenoblade. Considering holding out for the N3DS version since I prefer RPGs on handhelds. It will probably look like shit though.

Every problem you can even think of that you might have had with 1 or 2 is instantly fixed/perfected in 3. Every single one. I just can't get over it. Its like they took the entire list of complaints that people had with the first two games and completely amended all of them for the third game.

Pretty much, unless your actual local video game store has one in stock you wont find it for a reasonable price. The other local video game store is the easiest way to get really.

Yeah the animation was done by Studio Titmouse, who did the ATLA intro. It wasn't Studio Mir, who worked on the show. And yeah I can see where Liam was like "idk if that's Jinora's voice actress" but
she was one of the people at the end of the game that said "Thanks for playing"
I'd like to think that Jinora's voice actress loves working on Korra but hates video games so she gave a meh performance.

Its a great game. I wouldn't pay more than 60/70 dollars for it personally though. I got lucky and managed to buy it for 50 dollars on ebay and it looked brand new.

Pirating everything else sucks though. Just buy the games.

The one thing I appreciate about him is he doesn't try to justify the reasons he is pirating stuff, he fully admits that its because he is cheap.

I still call him an asshole though for doing it. He doesn't do it as often now that he has consoles.

The only flaw I see so far is the overworld, which while bad isn't hampering my enjoyment of it at all. The SMT combat system is one of my favorite RPG battle systems now.

Even removing the combat. I can pinpoint a lot of flaws in the game, but at that point it's really just personal opinion on the matter. While I enjoyed the game I'm not really excited for the next one. I found SMT3 a far more balanced game despite some weirdness with some design choices.

I thought that quest system was terrible and the fact that neutral ending is tied to it makes it even worse. Also, I think smirks could have been implemented better.

So Millia is a lot of fun to play, think I'm going to main her but her damage seems way less than a lot of the other characters, namely Slayer, that punch move he has is ridiculous

I wouldn't. I hate the idea a voice actress is phoning it in for a video game for the role she does in a show.

Hell I hate the idea of an actor phoning it in "because its a video game".

The reason I like Troy Baker so much is because the dude actually plays video games, and appreciates them.

Well yeah SMT3 is objectively better, that doesn't stop me from loving this one though

Millia can pile up the damage if you know how to use her. Her BnB does a lot of damage and throws them in the corner. Then you corner trap them and hit them with combos to just pile up the damage. Basically with her, you want to turn everything into an air combo.

The one thing I appreciate about him is he doesn't try to justify the reasons he is pirating stuff, he fully admits that its because he is cheap.

I still call him an asshole though for doing it. He doesn't do it as often now that he has consoles.

Also because its harder to pirate newer games with the new consoles now.

These videos are so good. I really hope Plague does a Demons' Souls LP after he's done with this one.
Inb4 Plague does Bloodborne at the same time as Matt and Pat and they compete to see who gets the most views and the one who wins is the Lord of the Souls

and Plague wins because every thumbnail for his videos is almost porn but not really

Well she's voiced by Kiernan Shipka. Idk, maybe it just wasn't as fun for her as it was for like, say, Janet Varney. I wouldn't mind hearing more Jinora in other things, though. Just wish her performance was better. Oh well. Jinora was just sad.

Oh god, having simultaneous LPs of that game would be amazing. The SBF one would have silly jokes and such and the plague LP would just be him playing it and analyzing it. I need this to happen.

SMT3 isn't really what stopping me from loving SMTIV, just the choices SMTIV made is what stopping me. This is perhaps mostly due to the throw back to SMT1/2 in the games nature.

I hope there's a snow hill for Pat to fall down and die on in Bloodborne, so Matt can laugh at him for it and get revenge for Woolie.
 
I should check out this Plague LP.

HOLY FUCK THE EPISODES ARE LIKE AN HOUR EACH. Well, no place better than to start from the beginning.

Ah I see, I can see how the hair stabby thing is more useful in the corner, I need to get more used to the throws in this game I'm more used to 2 buttons instead of one and a direction but I'll learn eventually

I want Plague to play for the sole reason to hunt down Matt and Pat like he did with Woolie...

With out him, we never would have had the spookiest moment in SBF history

My favorite moves are her quarter circle back punch which is just a full screen slide that hits low and knocks back and her quarter circle forward Heavy Slash which is perfect for set ups/corner traps. Also, you'll get a lot of use out of her air quarter circle forward punch which is just her version of a dive kick (except it can be tiger knee'd).

Was anyone else really surprised by Plague's voice the first time you heard it? xD

Yes. I was expecting something more gruff and southern and instead I'm hearing fancy Plague. Its so beautiful.
 
It was a long time ago but I don't think so. I think the first time I heard him was in the IHNMAIMS playthough

I started really following his channel after Let's Gripe about Horror, which I will shill as awesome.

Defenders of Oasis was rough, but I'm glad I watched it, and he's just gotten better since.
Here I am stuck at lowly 480p </3

I had 360p before, school internet sogood.gif
 
It's too bad that Pat and Liam aren't doing Bloodborne. Having gun jumper Liam running in head first dying and Pat just sitting there yelling at him. I think it would make for a great LP.

I think its Pat,

Pat is typically at the helm when Mat and Pat are in the vid

I could've sworn that they said Matt would be the one playing.

My internet is meh..I can watch 720p during the day, but at night I'm lucky to be able to watch 480p

Yeah actually that was the first time I heard him, I forgot what his first voiced video was.

Pat swore that if they are doing an LP of it that he would be on the controls.

I could be super wrong. Its just that Pat is usually the one playing when Mat and Pat do an LP. The only LP I know mat was playing was Downpour.

Yeah yeah I've been using the full screen slide to try to do that, and that moon divekick thing is good too but I keep getting knocked out of it with various DP's and other stuff, but I'll work on it, thanks for the tips

Also her slide that and the mash remind me of Jin from Blazblue a little
