I don't really follow the emulation scene, but it seems like PS3 emulation made a huge jump:

Pretty impressive

Bayo2 is getting rereleased on WiiU standalone without the first game for 30 bucks next month. Pretty awesome cuz copies are getting expensive all over the place.

I never thought we'd see the PS3 emulated. I remember lots of people saying it would be too complicated.

Why is the d-pad dead center in the controller? They took the borked 64 controller and made it equally as stupid but for different reasons.

IS the Withcer 3 the big game of last year for people with shit taste to complain about? I constantly see these threads claiming the combat and gameplay was bad. What? Was it a little janky? Sure. Was it terrible? Not in a world that accepts the combat of Bethesda and Bioware. It's no Bloodborne or Ys, but whats there to me was never on auto pilot. Sure, it involved a lot of rolling around, but at least the game most of the time asked you to keep paying attention as enemies were aggressive and you really had to wait for chances to attack and parry. The abilities were good for crowd control and as a whole the game never felt like the combat was something to ignore.

It's mainly die hard Bloodborne, Soul's fans from what I see.

Agreed, occasionally Polygon writes decent articles and this is definitely one of them. I do find it interesting that Irani message board goers were also arguing about turn-based vs. action in the FF7 battle system

Saw a lot of people on that other board bitching about it not being as good as the first game, so I finally tried it today. It's just as awesome as ever. Only complaint I agree with so far is that The Imp character seems to be overpowered.

Stoney Mason · « **Reply #16099 on:** January 17, 2016, 04:19:51 PM »

Imp is definitely a little op but they can always balance that. Tried the beta. Seemed as fun as the first one to me.

CatsCatsCats · « **Reply #16100 on:** January 18, 2016, 11:15:52 AM »

Imp is probably over powered, but it's a beta, that's the kind of thing they should be looking at. My biggest complaint would be that I haven't found a plant variant that I'm as effective with as I am with the computer scientist. And it might be largely due to the imp being over powered actually. Pretty decent with the orange guy. I also don't really like the goat thing.

Overall though, they took the first game, added a bunch of shit and cool features, I'll buy it. Really stoked that my characters from garden warfare 1 will transfer.

I really enjoyed the first game, and was happy to have something well-tuned that I could still play hotseat with my 10-year-old son. It was fantastic. My only complaint is that the later game modes (Vanquish Confirmed, Suburbination) are desolate wastelands now. I'm going to have to organize a boosting session just to get the 360 Achievements unlocked.

I'll be buying the sequel.

Beezy · « **Reply #16103 on:** January 18, 2016, 12:06:18 PM »

Getting Garden Ops achievements seems impossible in the first game because one dumbass would always ruin shit for the rest of us. I have 840/1500 on the Xbone version. I'm satisfied with that.

Yeah, that's dumb but I looked it up and there's like tops 15 games (out of ~300 in the US) where you actually need the d-pad.

D-pad fuckery aside, I think it's the better controller for having 2 prongs and a better joystick. Price is ridiculous though for a second hand 3rd party controller ($70-90 on eBay).

I liked Blade's story, Blade X is a bit too simplistic though, made even more apparent by all the extraneous content the game has.

So a new Super Robot Wars Original Generations (OG) got announced. Trailer goes up soon. OG series has some great, great animations and hasn't fallen off the wagon to budget concerns like licensed Z3 did.

These are still pretty much the most badass attack animations ever put to videogame. Punching people through a mountain and then IMPACT bunch of big kanji characters show up; never gets old.
