Geometry Wars Mario Galaxy!

Dragon Quest VII is famously known for having perhaps the largest script of any game in the series, and this aspect of the RPG has often been presumed to be one of the reasons that Square Enix haven’t committed to localizing it yet. Fujimoto confirmed this when he spoke with us.

“In terms of DQVII, it has a lot of text to go through and translate,” Fujimoto said, “and we’ve received so many requests and so much positive feedback about the game, but unfortunately, we have to consider the cost and the manpower needed to handle the sheer load of text. In terms of scenario and script, the game is probably one of the largest in the DQ franchise. If a lot of people can buy it and support it… well, we can’t promise anything.”

Hmm. Localize endless shoddy mobile ports, or bring over a game that could make fans infinitely happy? What a tough decision, SE. I would seriously play this game. I saw Japanese gameplay when the game released and waited with baited breath for a localization announcement but heeeeere we aree.

Well, Fujimoto's not wrong.

Now if they released a special edition where you could dress up the main cast in Mario and Link outfits, I'm sure that would sell more.

ahhh, I love all the people who keep complaining about the games that aren't coming, but don't just learn the damn language.  this will be more and more common as jrpgs grow more and more niche.

I guess Kagari is using her amazing insider guesses to say that this Sony TGS conference is going to be good. Everyone believes her so I guess I should stay up to watch it.

[tiesto]

http://www.dualshockers.com/2014/08/31/final-fantasy-xv-changes-domain-just-before-sonys-tgs-press-conference-is-it-happening/

Hmm...

[Rahxephon91]

Kagari said not to expect it, but I wonder if that was just her guessing  technique of "always bet on Sqaure disappointing" at play.

[Himu]

what time is the conference

[Rahxephon91]

what time is the conference

3Pm Japan.

2:am for the east cost. 1:am central time. 12:pm for the west coast.

Or so I think.

Yeah a 11:pm for PDT. Duh!

[The Legend of Sunblade]

2am EST, 11pm PDT

[Himu]

so basically tonight for us.

My daughter asked me today what was my favorite game I've played this year was. I had a hard time deciding, but I ended up going with Shovel Knight. I know it's silly but it just filled me with childish joy and I loved the challenge of hard mode.  It didn't take itself too seriously or anything like that. I did like Shadowrun Returns, but I haven't finished it yet (I saved in a bad spot and either I have restart the whole mission or just keep doing it until I get through it). You guys?

[demi]

i dont even remember the last 5 games i played

[I'm a Puppy!]

monster hunter freedom unite

A few months ago I tracked down a copy of Monster Hunter Wii U.

Honestly, I've tried it out a bit over and over I just can't seem to get beyond the critical mass if that makes any sense. I'd go out and do a few quests and then get distracted by some other game. Then when I go back to MonHun then I realize I've forgotten everything and start over. Then I do the same few quests and then get distracted by another game and rinse and repeat.

[Himu]

why do you need to start over? remember what?

[The Legend of Sunblade]

Favorite games I played this year that came out this year are Danganronpa and Demon Gaze.

Favorite games I've played this year in general... still Danganronpa, but Rogue Legacy instead.

[I'm a Puppy!]

It'll be months and months between playing and while I remember some of the stuff, but doing stuff like the tracking balls and stuff I forget so I'm like "Screw it, let's start over and build up experience that way."

[Great Rumbler]

Favorite game so far this year is Divinity: Original Sin, followed closely by Might & Magic X: Legacy. Been a great year for CRPGs, and Wasteland 2 and Pillars of Eternity haven't even come out yet.

[G The Resurrected]

So I have a few preorders for Destiny Limited edition (Xbox One and PS4) and Ghost edition (Xbox 360) on Amazon. If anyone wants it I can change the shipping address instead of cancelling them. Just thought It'd be nice to offer them up here since I won't be needing to purchase them and was going to cancel them. They have prime release day shipping and come with the preorder vanguard early release stuff.

I'm looking forward to next week and getting a white PS4. I don't have a lot of faith in the game though sadly and that kinda sucks.

In other news Diablo 3 is amazing and if you don't own it you should!

the AVGN movie is out, i watched the first 30 minutes and i can tell you the movie does a much better jobs at painting gamers in a bad light than any gamersgate article could... and the whole movie is 2 hours! you'd have to be a fucking trooper to go through it, the only highlight is that in the end credit, he finaly does this damn E.T review that everybody has asked him to do
 

[The Legend of Sunblade]

So last night I went and finally made a Nintendo ID. My purchases on the eshop are a big fat zero cause I don't trust Nintendo with anything digitally, but the Ace Attorney 5 sale finally put that game under my threshold for disposable purchases. "Nintendo have gotten better" people said.

Adorably posed Miis don't make these two sections any less laughably incompetent.

The deleting part was absurb, but I already knew about it (i checked later and man they make it SO EASY to just let you delete the ID instead of just unlink it from the system). What I didn't know was this little gem. There's "being behind the times" and then there's a complete misunderstanding of what people want in an online ID.

I'm downloading it now.  I even paid for it!   

Magus, are you aware that this movie is intentionally campy and done in a B-movie style?  That said, it remains to be seen whether or not it was done well.  I saw another guy say that the movie was boring, but the ET review at the end was great.

as i said i only watched 30 minutes, the first 10 minutes are literaly random people talking about the nerd in the most fangasm-stic tone ever which is boring as fuck, then the nerd gets joined by a black dude who wonders how he can be nerdy as the nerd and can't act at all, and a nerdy girl with glasses who says stuff like "I'M A GAMER, NOT A GIRL" (which i found hilarious with the whole zoe quinn ordeal)

i didn't even get to the campy bits, i wanted to choke on my tongue even before the campy bits started, as the nerd would have said "WHAT WAS HE THINKING???"

Guess that part wasn't too clear was it? 

It will still be available till friday then I'm going to cancel the order. I had no intention of buying so many editions if it wasn't for ex-coworkers that wanted them.

[demi]

Went out with a bearbud today, and hit some spots.

- Goof Troop (SNES)
- Syphon Filter (PSX)
- Fear Effect (PSX)
- Orphen: Scion of Sorcery (PS2)
- Galerians: ASH (PS2)
- Neo Contra (PS2)
- From Russia With Love (GCN)
- Arc the Lad Twilight of the Spirits (PS2)

Apparently a mother/daughter came to one store and traded in a SHITLOAD of good shit. I got to touch a complete copy of Lufia 2, Lufia 1, SMRPG... apparenly there was a ton of good shit. The kind of score you would want to find on CraigsList or a Garage Sale somehow.

[tiesto]

Nice haul, Goof Troop in particular is a lot of fun... short and not too challenging but it's a blast, especially 2 players.

Well, I watched around 50 minutes and I have to agree with you, at least up to that point.  Pretty awful movie.  Was surprised at how much I didn't really like anything, especially when I enjoy his videos.

Disgaea 5 screenshots

The amount of characters that can be displayed on-screen has seen a significant increase thanks to PlayStation 4, jumping from 10 on PS3 to 100 on PlayStation 4. There will be new systems, too.

According to Nippon Ichi Software president Sohei Niikawa, they thought about making the game multi-platform with PlayStation 3, but wanted to make something that can only be done on PlayStation 4.

The game’s story is themed around the concept of “revenge.” Dengeki PlayStation introduces the first three characters this week:

    Kiria (voiced by Mamoru Miyano) – The protagonist. A young demon boy who swears revenge on the “Demon Emperor Void Dark.”
    Seraphine (voiced by Sarah Emi Bridcutt) – The heroine. The sheltered princess and daughter of “Gorgeous Underworld”‘s demon king.
    Usaria (voiced by Satomi Akesaka) – The demon king of “Rabbit Rabbit World,” cursed to go berserk if she does not eat curry.

everything about this look and sounds like super extreme franchise fatigue

[demi]

I guess "Disgaea 5" wasnt a tip off

[magus]

I guess "Disgaea 5" wasnt a tip off

well i tought that with the jump to PS4 they would have given it a new coat of paint at least

[G The Resurrected]

I bet you could do that on the PS3... That franchise needs a break

[Joe Molotov]

PS2 still putting in that work. 

[deepest throat]

looks even more like a 2d korean f2p mmo than usual 

[StealthFan]

Looks flabby as fuck How much could it possibly cost to make it look decent? There are better looking throwaway indie games.

Favorite game so far this year is Divinity: Original Sin, followed closely by Might & Magic X: Legacy. Been a great year for CRPGs, and Wasteland 2 and Pillars of Eternity haven't even come out yet.

I've been thinking about getting M&M:X
I remember playing one of the M&M games way back in the 90s and enjoying it.
Don't know what to really expect.

Expect turn-based combat and lots of grids.

Is that good? do I want that?

a patch for kyuuyaku megami tensei has been completed, this is a SNES remake of megami tensei... i was like "what? isn't shin megami tensei the first one?" but no apparently the first one is just "megami tensei" on the NES and this is a remake of that

http://www.romhacking.net/translations/2263/

a translation patch for grand knight history has also been floating around, has anyone here on thebore played it? i'm really curious about it because it's vanillaware but i remember reading somewhere that the game depends heavily on it's online portion which is now dead and all
