Maybe it was regular SK instead.

I'd like a shinovi versus creepy anime bullshit video.

Oh shit is it up on PSN yet?

I believe so.

"Look at how broken you are, you delicious, delicious child."

Pat has one-liners for days in that FNF.

 

[PfantzyPantz]

Man, I forgot how fantastic Valkyria Chronicles' music is. So happy it came to Steam.

 

[RecursiveFault]

I'm no one to talk, I have a Madoka wallet, Hatsune Miku lanyard and was at the time wearing my attack on titan backpack, but the jacket was so gaudy!

It was also too small for the guy too, so it stood out even more and the whole thing was just embarrassing to see.

That is pretty weird though, yeah.

This game is so good! To think I never would have played it if it wasn't ported. Wink wink, Nudge nudge SEGA

And this japanese pc port isn't jank too? I might as well buy it.

 

[GlassEmpires]

Well keep the SD card and see if you can back up saves, I suppose. Just in case.

I think the N3DS uses a different type of memory card

 

[croten]

And this japanese pc port isn't jank too? I might as well but it.

It has Durante's seal of approval. That's as good as it gets

 

[Squishy3]

It uses a MicroSD card.

Its good, albeit barebones.

Im playing at downsampled 5k and 60fps.

Pat won't be back until he needs competent people to play with in Monster hunter 4.


Speaking of MH4, who else is getting it? We could have some friender monster huntin' and killin' parties.

So while waiting for the Zaibatsu's Evil Within LP to begin, I have started watching Maximillian's LP of the game.

What the fuck is happening in this game?

This end of Chapter 1 is fucking nuts.

Bethesda telling Mikami to do RE4 again but not actually RE4 in less development time.

Dunno if I'll have it on New 3DS, but me and my Circle Pad Pro are in. I only started playing about 4 months ago with 3U and recently hit G rank. Good fucking game I tell ya what.

More like Inception armageddon.

I don't quite understand, but I wouldn't mind playing this eventually. Seems fine enough.

 

[DXLelouch153]

im back with before dinner impressions of Tales of Hearts R
great game so far even though im only in town 2
characters are so far much better than Xillia
also FINALLY a main character that doesnt put up with peoples crap, this is what ive always wanted, a smart, tough, badass Tales protagonist
ill post more impressions as i play the game more later

 

[GlassEmpires]

It uses a MicroSD card.

And the 3DS uses a regular SD card. It's going to take an extra step to get the data from one to the other

Yuri Lowell?

 

[Xux]

I couldn't get into Valkyria Chronicles. The gameplay felt really off with the bad action paced to a strategy type thing and the odd tone of a wartime anime always weirds me out.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Yuri Lowell?

I'm gonna take a controversial stance and say Yuri sucked. Flynn was a way better character, Yuri just struck me as basically Kirito.

 

[GuardianE]

I'm gonna take a controversial stance and say Yuri sucked. Flynn was a way better character, Yuri just struck me as basically Kirito.

Maybe it's because I don't know who the hell Kirito is, but Yuri is pretty great. Flynn's just a boyscout.

And he definitely doesn't put up with peoples' crap.

............I can't comprehend this. I'm going back to learning computer science.

I should be a lot saltier than I am that you said that.

 

[Phantasmal Repose]

Kirito's the main protagonist of SAO. If Yuri Lowell is actually like Kirito then woof. I'm not playing that game.

let's please not say a character who existed before kirigod is kirigod

jesus christ aaron

kirito is yuri get it right

 

[GuardianE]

Kirito's the main protagonist of SAO. If Yuri Lowell is actually like Kirito then woof. I'm not playing that game.

I've never watched SAO, but Yuri is generally considered the best Tales protagonist of all time. He's just a chill and charismatic guy.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Maybe it's because I don't know who the hell Kirito is, but Yuri is pretty great. Flynn's just a boyscout.

And he definitely doesn't put up with peoples' crap.

He felt to me like a generic anime Mary Sue. He's the toughest, coolest cool guy in the land and doesn't follow anybody's rules but his own! He just felt lazy to me is all.

Tales has pretty bad protagonists as a whole, and Yuri is far from the worst, but I think people give him more credit than he actually deserves.

let's please not say a character who existed before kirigod is kirigod

kirito is yuri get it right

I never get people getting hung up on what came first in comparisons, it doesn't really matter and I made the comparison because of the similarities and that Kirito is someone people know here.

Do you like tactics games like Xcom? Because it plays like Xcom with aiming.

Yuri could be a bit annoying at times, but at least he wasn't a complete jerk face like most of the cast from Abyss.

ToS has the best cast hands down, Legendia's cast would have been better if they were in an actual decent game.

Most protagonists are "Mary Sue's" by default. The difference is that Yuri actually had a personality, and he's not in your face about anything.

Considering that he's NOT what most Tales protagonists are, I'm surprised at the notion of him being a generic anime protagonist.

Flynn better?

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Most protagonists are "Mary Sue's" by default. The difference is that Yuri actually had a personality.

That's the thing, I never really felt like he did. 90% of that game he's just kind of standing there with a smirk not really giving a shit about anything. He'd say something snarky now and then, then be cool for awhile. People only like him because he's not an asshole and isn't a simp.

I don't agree, especially considering how many story sketches there are in the game. You definitely get a feel for Yuri's personality and how he goes against the grain.

 

[Aaron-Lagann]

Yuri isn't anything like Kirito.

When was the last time you played Vesperia? I played it again last year and watched SAO only a little bit back, they're similar in more ways than appearance.

I don't agree, especially considering how many story sketches there are in the game. You definitely get a feel for Yuri's personality and how he goes against the grain.

It's all opinion, I just don't personally think he's anything special. He's not bad, but he's too boring to me to be anything but middle of the road as a JRPG protagonist.

 

[360pages]

Too be fair, I think Jade Curtiss is a piece of shit, and easily one of the worst characters in Abyss. So I guess we all have that one popular character that everyone else loves.

 

[RecursiveFault]

Watching the newest DkS2 episode. I honestly don't get why they switched over to the inferior UGS, especially within these DLCs.

Pat gives his reasoning in the one before this one. It seems they did it mainly for the two handed poke.

 

[Alfebit]

When was the last time you played Vesperia? I played it again last year and watched SAO only a little bit back, they're similar in more ways than appearance.

I was playing through it a couple months ago. Not really.

 

[GuardianE]

It's all opinion, I just don't personally think he's anything special. He's not bad, but he's too boring to me to be anything but middle of the road as a JRPG protagonist.

The next logical question: Who do you consider to be an excellent JRPG protagonist?

 

[Xux]

Do you like tactics games like Xcom? Because it plays like Xcom with aiming.

Never played Xcom. I do really like the Final Fantasy Tactics games, though. It's been forever since I traded in VC, though; I just remember it feeling really loose and awkward.
