Cool they are FINALLY evolving the formula. But for me its about 10 years too late and BOOOOY do those visuals look rough. Looks like a PS2 game. Hopefully they get some good optimization before launch.
I've never experienced this fear before since I've always been a physical game kinda guy. But the 3DS was different...I have over 60 games downloaded on that beast with about 10 others I own but have no space to re-download. What to do?? 😬
Doom meets pokemon? SIGN ME UP. Pokemon annoy me so I would love to play this. Can you imagine Doom glory kills too? 😆 lol!
And its sad that this crappy fan game looks 1000x better than anything the pokemon company puts out.
Picked up Darksiders 2 which I never finished on Wii U and am having a lot of fun with it. If anyone hasn't played GRIS yet, $4 is a steal. One of the best games of this gen.
I love me some Splatoon, but I'm honestly not confident that Nintendo will innovate it enough from 2. If they can really open up the world, expand the fashion, and more than anything, FIX the online play with friends, I'd be all in...but I'm sure it'll just be Splatoon 2 with some new things tacked on.
@sdelfin Wow! We did the same thing with Lodoss! Got that VHS box set that formed the dragon on the spines when all lined up and later the DVDs and also remember binging them in like 2 days in Junior High (1997 or 98). Good times!
@Teksetter Dude thats an amazing journey you've been on! Wow...8 years in Osaka! I also worked translation jobs for a while then worked for Kuroneko Yamato (the shipping company) for 7 years.
And yes...I dont think Lodoss has gotten any western love since the Dreamcast days. Let us old folks live a little! Haha. Nice to know I'm in good company, friend.
@Teksetter Yeah...we are definitely old! Haha. Thats cool about your club! Yeah, Lodoss was huge for me. I still love the music and it also launched me into a lifetime of learning Japanese and living in Japan for a few years.
@Grail_Quest Holy crap, yes to all of those! Man...those were the days. My youngest daughter is named Lina after Lina Inverse. Lol! Its sad to see what anime became in the west as it went mainstream.
I'm one of the few that really knew Lodoss well and it got me obsessed with anime back when it was sort of an underground club (late 90s), not an oversaturated trend. I'd get this just because its Lodoss but I love Symphony too so its a no brainer!
For Christmas this year I bought a good karaoke mic set/converter on Amazon for about $60, then hooked them up to my TV and guitar amp. Then I just use YouTube for an infinite amount of songs. Haha
@BloodNinja Haha yeah the inward knee thing is totally real. I lived in Japan for years and realized why the women's legs grow that way: from riding bikes around thier whole lives with thier school uniform mini skirts on. They have to bring thier knees in of course as they ride so they don't give the world a show and thats literally why many if thier legs are that way naturally.
My maxed out family plan is the ONLY thing that justifies this madness. In the end, $10 a year is absolutely nothing even for crap games I don't play. Haha. Just hope better games/systems/DLCs come along later.
@GannonBanned Extremely artistic, sad, touching, beautiful, simple. Its so hard to put into words. Nintendo Life's review of it is actually pretty spot on so maybe check that out.
