  1. Court Documents Confirm Xbox One Sold Less Than Half PS4 Numbers GAMELUSTER.COM A high-profile case is ongoing in Brazil, as Microsoft attempts to defend its Activision Blizzard acquisition from CADE, the Brazilian competition authority.… About 2/3’s of what the 360 did. Rough start to the gen, but this was probably inevitable after putting everything day and date on PC.
  2. I don’t think there’s any single player RPG that doesn’t get tiresome after 70 hours. But I’m usually glad finishing what I started, especially if the conclusion is good. If you couldn’t stand finishing the first one, this probably wouldn’t change your mind outside of combat being a bit more engaging.
  3. They could just make the Switch 2 a Switch Pro. I wouldn’t put it past them.
  4. You're way ahead of us, haha. I'm in Chapter 4, keep getting distracted with more questing.
  5. I'm tempted for 2, 3, VII and Revelations 2, the ones I don't own. $30 wouldn't be bad, but I don't know when I'd ever play them. Horror games generally aren't my thing anymore. I've only played 4 and REmake.
  6. I do it for the character I control most. That canceling bonus gem only works for the player character. And I try to match fusion arts that have short/long cooldowns.
  7. Resident Evil Decades of Horror WWW.HUMBLEBUNDLE.COM We’ve teamed up with Capcom for our newest bundle. Get games like the Resident Evil 2 remake and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. Plus, pay what you want & support charity! Plus a 50% off coupon for 8. No DLC with 7.
  8. That's a loaded question, considering XB3 has so many different playstyles depending on the classes/jobs and abilities you assign. Essentially, you want to play whatever class you're controlling as efficiently as possible. Attackers try to dish out pain without calling too much attention to themselves. Tanks try to get the crowd focused on them. Healers dole out timely party buffs and healing, and are the only ones that can revive fallen allies. In XB3, you can switch between characters at any time (all six of them), and the AI takes control of the ones you're not. Nothing too crazy on the surface. But it layers several other systems on top: positional attack bonuses, timed special attacks, temporary supermodes, combo trees the whole party participates in, attacks that stack simultaneously, class specific quirks, the aforementioned two ways to charge specials running in tandem, etc. If it seems like a lot, again, play the first game. It's more straightforward, for better or worse. It also has a mechanic uniquely its own that makes your agency in battles much more obvious.
  9. Some of your special attacks charge over time (like the first game). Others charge the more you auto attack (like the second game). First are circle icons, second are diamonds. There’s more to it, like canceling into one another and combining them, but that’s the basics.
  10. It’s self contained, but there’s winks and nods in the world, character and combat design. There could be an 11th hour twist that references the prior games if it follows what 2 did, but it wouldn’t require you play them to get the gist of it. Might spoil parts of them if you decide to go back. I’d still recommend someone new start with the Switch remake of 1. The combat isn’t as developed and the side quests suck, but it’s still an incredible game that goes wild places. It might still have the most interesting world design/setup too. There’s one more reason I’d start with 1: XB2 and 3 get bogged down in their own lingo a bit. For example, 3 has a habit of putting in some of its verbiage in place of curse words, and it’s always cringe. (I was legitimately shocked when I heard one of the characters say “shit.”) With the first, game specific lingo is still a thing, but it’s the easiest understood out of the gate and introduces less as in references you don’t know. You can ease yourself in with XB1, with this stuff and the combat.
  11. Think at I’m at the end of chapter boss now. Did most of the side stuff I could … I’m 37 hours in. Its as long as you want it to be. Just make sure you climb up the vines you saw near the first Feronis once you can. You get something awesome.
  12. Still in chapter 3, level 40. There’s one more place I technically could explore where the monsters are at the same level, but I think I’m going to move the plot forward a little first. There’s a skipped over hero slot I read gets filled in at the end of the chapter.
  13. "My role was to really encourage our team to break away from what other music games were doing...Because other games in the so-called music game genre up until now haven't been about creating music, but about rhythm matching." Video game legend Miyamoto talks 'Wii Music' WWW.CNET.COM Creator of games like <i>Super Mario Bros.</i> and <i>Donkey Kong</i> sits down to talk about his latest title--one Nintendo hopes will be a holiday hit.
  14. It’s only shit if you can’t come to grips with the controls. Which are, frankly, a pain. Game’s not for everyone. Its a modern Gunvalkyrie.
  15. Chapter 3 can be the size of full other games if you want it to be. I’m still out here questing.
  16. Yep that’s the one. I was so pissed that I couldn’t continue to be stealthy.
