But if you're only an hour into the game, no harm in restarting.

And yeah, fuck playing as a Mage in DD. Thats what your pawns are for.

They are releasing a complete version of Arcania for $20, wonder if it comes with new achievements or even fixes the prior game, which is impossible to get 1000 in.

How was Arcania beyond it's achievement problem? At $20 I may jump in.

Word nig. I want to replay the second Kane & Lynch but it's 20 bucks on PSN. It's 5 bucks at Gamestop. I have no car and I sure as hell ain't taking no bus anywhere though...

Still, I want to pick up Brutal Legend and Dog Days for a total of 10 buckaroos. Guess I need to take that fucking bus.

So I hear that Mamoru-kun is coming out to both XBLA and PSN. This was a retail release in Japan a few years back... I played the 360 version a while back at Otakon one year and it's pretty cool. Very easy (especially compared to your modern day bullet hell) but it's pretty fun, reminiscent of the Pocky and Rocky games.

Yes, like Himu talking about Red Dead Redemption, before playing it: "It's GTA with a horse. What could be good about it? It's just derivative of GTA..." Then after playing it: "This is great! So fresh and original!"

Get off my case about this. GTAIV sucked balls. You are acting like no one had any reason what so ever to not have reservations after that abortion.

As for Dragon's Dogma, there have been many parallels even on this very forum

All I did was ask simple questions for information. You can take your repetitive years old feuds and snark elsewhere.

If you have not seen nor heard of Souls comparisons to Dragon's Dogma you must have completely ignored anything related to the game. Sit down. Dial down the "gotcha!" bullshit, take your viagra, and shut the fuck up. Perhaps you have been in Japan for too long so English isn't your first language but it is obvious from my queries that I'm not saying DD is like Souls games. After All i have not played it. I am merely trying to see if such comparisons hold merit because the one thing I don't need is another overhyped shitty core game full of jank praised to high heaven because it doesn't hold the players hand.

At least I try not to make judgment calls when I have zero information. And when I make decisions, I can stick with them for more than a week.

I think you're looking into the multiple answers. It's clearly for one game only. Which could be Ys I & 2, and the red is for Adol's hair.

Actually this does seem to point at multiple things.

Ys I&II have popped up on the Steam database. Some of the stuff in there also points at Killer is Dead, and some of it points at Celceta. Maybe the five means they're announcing five things?

It's really hard to figure out how crazy people's brains work.

They revealed their lineup...

Quote

KILLER IS DEAD

PS3™/Xbox 360®, Summer 2013 – Created by game legend SUDA51, this highly anticipated original game is set in a not-so-distant future similar to (but not the same as) the world we know now. The player takes control of an executioner named Mondo Zappa who wields a Japanese sword in his right hand and brandishes interchangeable weapons in his left artificial arm. His ultimate goal is to execute various heinous criminals scattered around the world and beyond.

Completely unique visuals and outstanding stylish action come together to deliver an unprecedented gaming experience in KILLER IS DEAD. This brand-new action title is being jointly developed by KADOKAWA GAMES and GRASSHOPPER MANUFACTURE, with SUDA51 lending his trademark sense of style at the helm. Deep Silver, the games label of Koch Media, will bring the title to the countries of Europe and Oceania.

Rune Factory 4

Nintendo 3DS, Summer 2013 – The first game in the Rune Factory simulation/role-playing series to be released on the Nintendo 3DS, Rune Factory 4 adds new romance options, the ability to select a male or female character at the game’s start, and has endless crafting, farming and cooking opportunities. The player becomes Selphia’s prince or princess and can manage the village, explore the countryside with townsfolk, or tame monsters in the wild to aid them in battle or help out in the fields.

Valhalla Knights 3

PS Vita, Fall 2013 – The fourth title published by XSEED Games in the popular Valhalla Knights action RPG series, Valhalla Knights 3 features a robust character creation system and brings intense seven-on-seven party-based combat to the PS Vita. Players can select from one of seven races and one of twenty job classes such as Fighter, Mage, Thief, Priest, Akatoki or Archer, while also equipping two sub-jobs. Players can adventure with a party of their own making or brave the wilds alone and seamlessly engage in real-time combat to earn skill points for upgrading and unlocking abilities unique to each job class.

Ys: Memories of Celceta

PS Vita, Fall 2013 – An extensive reimagining of (and pseudo-sequel to) Ys IV, one of the only Ys games never before released in the west, this title puts more enemies on screen than ever before and features the largest, most non-linear overworld in Ys history, boasting superlative graphics and a triumphant evolution of the fast-paced gameplay that has made this series a timeless action RPG mainstay. As the game opens, long-time protagonist Adol Christin finds himself alone, dazed and confused in a strange land, and must piece together his memories of how he got here and why, all the while struggling to determine whom he can trust.

Ys I & II Chronicles+

Windows PC (Steam), February – XSEED Games has delighted RPG fans for years by publishing multiple Ys titles from legendary RPG developer Nihon Falcom for handheld platforms and Windows PC, and now Ys fans can celebrate once more as an enhanced remake of the classic first two games in the Ys franchise comes to Steam for the first time. Including both Ancient Ys Vanished: Omen and Ancient Ys Vanished: The Final Chapter, this action RPG tells of red-haired swordsman Adol Christin’s inaugural adventure to defeat the evil forces blighting the isle of Esteria and uncover the mysteries of the eponymous lost land of Ys.

'Hype trains' are among the most embarrassing things that happen there. The weekly Famitsu teaser threads which bring out all the Persona fanboys and animu posts make me wish my computer monitor was a Sliders-esque portal that I could punch people through

Said it in the other thread, I'm hoping for diminishing returns, a high price and maximum trainwreck. I'm banned on GAF, if I weren't - I would definitely be banned on Feb 20 for trying to troll over-enthusiastic Sony fans.

Having said that, at least people there are enthusiastic for once. Sick of reading their miserable moaning and griping about everything!

I think the past few years of unrewarding hype trains (pretty much every major sequel, exciting new IP, and sequels to exciting new IPs for this gen have played out) have made things stale. so, i'm glad it's a new console year! Even if they don't come out this year, they'll be guaranteed next year.
