So damned excited now!

Probably should finish TLoU, i've played the first half atleast 4 times. Never got around to finishing it for whatever reason. I know that it's weird not having done it considering how good and popular the game actually is

!!!

I always read that as Death straddling and get such weird mental images.

[MrNovember]

I am so excited for both The Last of Us Part 2 and Death Stranding!

I really want to find out more about them, but I also really don't want to have them over-hyped

[TheTransient]

Yeah I just heard about TLoU Part II. SO EXCITED!

I am happy that its another Joel/Ellie game, but I do hope that at some point they explore stories of other survivors around the country. Lots of stories to tell in that world for sure.

want to take 10-seconds to rant.

the fucking "d-pad" for the iOS version of Final Fantasy VI is so fucking trash.
before getting sabin I thought that blitzing would be impossible. it's not, it's actually pretty decent. however. getting around is the biggest pain in the ass i can imagine.

i keep wanting to sneak away and play ffxv but i'm hanging around on the main floor of the house in case le baby needs anything (or the wife) so mobile games are dominating right now.

The internet seems to have devised QR code creators to make any Pokemon you want, including the attacks and held items and everything.
It's so tempting to just create the perfect team and ruin the game.

I haven't tried, because I think its silly, but i had read that the QR codes only give you the encounter, like you saw the 'mon in the wild or against a trainer, but doesn't actually give you the pokemon in question. But I could be wrong.

[foomanfat]

Ah, yes. I misunderstood. Probably for the best.

[UglyCasanova]

I read your post aloud to my gf and she went bonkers trying to find these magical QR codes

Ikaruga's got me in a shooter mood, so I installed a Saturn emulator on my phone to check out Radiant Silvergun. I suck at shmups and touch screen controls ramp up the difficulty a thousand times, but I'll put up with unimaginable amounts of crap to play games on my phone.

PS4 should arrive next week. Feels weird, I haven't owned a console since the Gamecube. I was really hoping there'd be some news about Ubusuna at the Playstation event.

Nioh from Team Ninja looks freaking great. Looks like the Onimusha and Souls series had a baby.

Finally got around to completing FFXV, mainlining takes about 21-25ish hours which is pretty manageable for a jRPG. A lot of the sidequests were fairly mundane so I never bothered with most of them.

Really enjoyed it though, but I'm betting that morons will want to tear it down and nitpick - but it's worth remembering how long the game has been in development and the skeleton of the original game still seems the same. It genuinely feels like what Final Fantasy would've been after XII. I honestly already hated XIII with a fiery passion, It just annoys me how long XV took in Development yet there were 3 XIII games.

I finally got around to downloading that RE7 demo. Shit's actually scary. Have had a few run-throughs now. Going to try getting the dirty coin ending. I'm hyped for January now
