The protagonist in Hero Death brings the world to peace after defeating the demon lord, but he also gets killed in the process. Since he was such a gentle soul, he gets a chance to live for five more days, where he’ll get to go around looking at the world he saved.

However, there are still some problems going on in the world, and he’ll be a good hero and use selflessly use his last days to try fixing the problems. On the sixth day, he’ll inevitably die… but fear not! He’ll come back to life and will be able to start over from after he killed the demon lord.

…

In Hero Death there is no way to avoid death on the sixth day, and there will be a funeral ceremony at the end. Depending on how far you get in the scenario and the folks you meet, the ending and words of the funeral will change.

EARTH WARS - play movie (cutscene and gameplay)
https://youtu.be/huvEHXGzTts

Earth Wars is a 2D action game set on Earth in 2020 as it’s being invaded by a force known as E.B.E that has destroyed most of the planet’s countries and made 70 percent of land mass its nest. You play as a member of A.N.T.I., which is a special military unit set-up to deal with unprecedented enemies to Earth.

When starting the game, you can choose to play as a man or a woman, and are able to customize their look. However, what it fixed is that men are more heavily armored, move slower, and fire missiles as well as use a sword. Women, on the other hand, are less armored, but more agile, and wield a rifle and a sword.

No matter what character you choose you’re able to dash to avoid taking damage, juggle enemies in the air, and finish them with special moves. You can also develop new weapons and upgrade your character’s skills as you progress. Look for more updates on Earth Wars on its website.

me and a friend are streaming shenmue 2 if anyone wants to check it out.
it’s his first time playing

Failed Case 4 in Ace Attorney twice so far. They need checkpoints, not so much for you to save scum. But just so you don’t gotta go through ALL the dialog again. Like maybe a checkpoint after each critical moment. Because it is annoying starting the whole trial over

GespenstRitter · July 17, 2015, 9:38am

There’s not much of a need for checkpoints when you can save at almost every single moment of the game. If you’re about to take a game-ending penalty, save that shit.

DrellyFish · July 17, 2015, 9:50am

Hmm true true. I just got passed the first trial day, now looking for more evidence. This is fun as hell, but this is streamlined lawyer life. I cant imagine how annoying and stressful being a real one is lol

June 2015 NPD numbers are up

PS4 is the top selling console for the month once more. Apparently the batman bundle helped quite a lot with this. Xbone sales are up 51% year over year and Wii U and 3DS both combined are 20% up. 3DS on its own accounts for most of it with 40% up year over year which Nintendo said is because of the n3DS XL.

Software sales went as follows Batman Arkham Knight, Elder Scrolls Online: Tamriel Unlimited, Lego Jurassic World, Witcher 3, Splatoon, Minecraft, GTA V, MKX, NBA 2k15, and CoD: AW.

Notes about the sales: Batman Arkham Knight is the second highest selling game this year…that’s not including the PS4 bundles. Otherwise MKX is still the top selling unbundled game this year. Arkham Knight also apparently has exceeded Arkham City’s sales a bit. This helped put WB’s sales up 217% year over year. Splatoon’s sales for the US have almost hit half a mill while MK8 has gone past the 2 mill mark.

Actually…apparently until recently this wasn’t too far off from how the Japanese Legal System actually worked, exaggerated and quirky characters notwithstanding. You actually had to be Phoenix Level in order to land Not Guilty verdicts. Nick gets more Not Guilty Verdicts in AA1 than most Japanese Defense Attorneys got their entire careers. And he needed a crap ton of help for most of those.

Anyway, game wise, good news. Things tighten up in JFA. It’s a relatively weak game in the series but it does streamline and brighten up the actual gameplay. Plus THANKFULLY after AA1 they tend to only have cases go for 2 Days rather than the 3 that they had you doing in AA1 half the time. You’ll be on Cases 4-5 for the next week.

I remember reading how one defender is considered really good as he won 2 cases in his 45 year career.
A Legal code where your guilty unless proven innocent and a defense lawyers job is not to get you out of a conviction but get you prepared to plea guilty and ask for leniency of the court.

DrellyFish · July 17, 2015, 1:52pm

Beat case 4. Holy shit that was crazy. Like whoa. These cases are interesting man. I came into the series thinking you’d be doing normal shit just presented in exaggerated form. But Case 2&4 were too damn good, in how they were linked to characters past in a plot heavy way that’s like whoa. Not sure if im supposed to be moving this fast

Shin_Jr · July 17, 2015, 1:53pm

that total biscuit guy started a group to make notice of all 30 fps games on steam… its like a jehovah witness group

krazykone123 · July 17, 2015, 3:30pm

Atlus and Vanillaware got a HD project to show on the 20th

may the return of George Kamitani’s artstyle be a glorious one

Swedish_Chef · July 17, 2015, 3:55pm

I cannot wait to see idiots online getting salty about the gratuitous levels of Tits and Ass again.

Gasaraki · July 17, 2015, 4:21pm

YES I KNEW THEY’D ANNOUNCE SOMETHING THIS YEAR!

If you notice, they announce a new game every two years, and two years ago was Dragon’s Crown.

Vanillaware and Platinum are the only two game companies whose games I buy without hesitation lol

Darklightjg1 · July 17, 2015, 5:58pm

Last day of the Shenmue 3 kickstarter with 11 hours to go. It seems like they’ll only be reaching the $6 million stretch goal at best.

Mr.PaVy-RD · July 17, 2015, 6:49pm

sounds like 90% of animes

po_pimpus · July 17, 2015, 7:39pm

Where in the FUCK were all of you before Iwata died?

Fuck this industry, for real.

Darklightjg1 · July 17, 2015, 7:57pm

Yeah that comes off as phony as fuck considering the timing.

XthAtGAm3RGuYX · July 17, 2015, 8:12pm

Jesus christ Drellyfish.

Rule of thumb:
Have you progressed through a really long conversation? Save the game.
Are you supposed to make s decision or present evidence? Save the game.

Saitsu · July 17, 2015, 8:14pm

If you’re binge playing then you’re fine moving this fast You’ll be on Case 5 for a while though.
