I did it AND it took me a while to get a grasp on the combat, but yeah - if I hadn't done it then for sure I would've had issues.

I'm in the same boat as Liam, at least I can get on every once in a while since it's on EA Access now.

92% Creativity 80% Achievement 55% Immersion With only 12% in social because I don't really like competitive games, I prefer co-op and there wasn't much of a lean towards that. Very interesting site though!

Not only does Stardew play awesome on the One - but to celebrate backwards compatibility, Lost Odyssey is free for the rest of the month! https://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Lost-Odyssey/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d8024d5307fa AND Blue Dragon is available digitally.

Came across the revelation that track 2 from the new AJJ album is about John Du Pont and that's entirely random.

Has there ever been an instance of that? Announcers used to call it out all the time back in the day but I always liked the idea of seeing another attempt at a pin finish a match. Happens all the time in games because of the kick out system.

Bastion is up in the XB1 store and it's free if you owned it on the 360 until January.

Oh - retailers that are allowing more than one unit to multiple people when the situation like this absolutely stink - because those units are absolutely being resold somewhere else.. and that is the super unfair side effect of this. It happened with Amiibos and it's happening now with the NES Classic - they're highly sought after, so those desperate to make money off other people are the ones who are pushing the hardest to get them and hide them away until they can find the right person to pay a stupid amount of money for it. It's nice to see that EB Games has a shitty website other places as well, the Canadian site is so full of late updates, poor information and broken images that it's damn lucky a corporate entity cannot die from embarrassment alone. This is what I ended up getting. http://www.8bitdo.com/nes30pro/

That's more of a Nintendo thing and it's a disgrace that it's still happening. I don't know if they ineptly believed that no one would want it, or if they're doing their whole 'create demand' schtick but it's really disappointing to see. The local stores have line-ups 30 people long every morning for the past few weeks, and the machines just aren't coming in - when they do? Two units. Straight up, two units. Nintendo Switch pre-orders went on sale and were done within half an hour. I did some asking around and as it turns out - nationwide in Canada? There were 5,000 units up for grabs. I don't even.

I just saw news on the content patches coming to FFXV and I'm kind of let down by that as well. They claim they're going to fix Chapter 15, add more customization, more party members and more cutscenes... why am I being punished for playing the game early then? Blah. EDIT: Gross - why did I write early? I played it when it was released - this isn't some early access shit.

I am in the same exact mind. While the word is vastly interesting - there are quirks here and there that baffle me. Sometimes it's the weird use of mechanics and sometimes it's the design of the world and how you traverse it. Beautiful world, but sometimes it feels like the person who created it absolutely despises you - but then due to the odd, odd mechanics I feel like it's almost part of the story and that I should like it? I dunno how to explain it otherwise, and I'm also no where near the tone shift.

This is Gladius spawning on top of his empty Chocobo. Annnnd here he is talking to us outside a cave while he still has his light on.

Ignis is invisible. Everywhere. In the world, riding his Chocobo, in cutscenes. Everywhere. At night all I see is his floating light.

Eh. Didn't feel all that optimized, I'm going to assume like other games it's going to be better.. last developer entry I read basically stated "yeah there's controller support but it could be a heck of a lot better".

It's hitting the XB1 on the 14th and I'm pretty pumped to play it with a controller.

That's the one, although the Coeurls are dependent on random spawning it seems. I saw people complaining about them - but I only had a singular one when I was already done and leaving the area thankfully.

Whoever designed the "Mind The Trap" side quest needs to be buried up to his neck in mud. These fucking things are stupidly well hidden.

I read an article pissing on the game for removing time limits and changing saving other survivors from the oh so very fun "run two meters, turns around and make sure they aren't being bitten or stuck on geometry" system which they referred to as 'thrilling' and the newer save system. Fuck that.

Going to the movies is weird because it is intrinsically not a thing that is social during the process - only before or after. It is proper etiquette to not do anything social while watching a movie so I don't find it odd at all to go alone. I used to quite a bit and I only go now when other people do as an excuse to do other things before or after.

I want more of this. That was the most interesting thing I've watched in a while.

Black Flag hair timeline!

Easy enough to do, though I assume FF VII to FF X-2 at the very least and then some of the others would be digital downloads.

Well I'm in.

COLEMAN. Christ, even the plates are Coleman.

Most excellent. I hit 50% last night for my dex and then spent 30 minutes chaining Dittos until I found one with Imposter.
