Video Game General 6.5: Now with more surprise mechanics

Do I need the origin client to play via steam…or just an account?

I don’t feel like installing origin again.

Havent been able to read/watch any reviews yet but so far things sound mostly positive. In theory there shouldn’t be anything keepong this from being a financisl success. They got the holiday season and they also got hype from the upcoming Episode 9 to ride on as well. Gotta see how the sales look in the next few months but I’d say the ball is probably already heading to EA’s court.

Thats actually pretty cool about Cal in the beginning…

I’ll prob see if I can get Jedi Order for Christmas.

Even though it’s going to be a shitty and generic arena fighter I’m still excited for this.

It works the same way Uplay does on steam. You’ll need to install the client and have it run in the background.

It is heavily implied that Terry and Mary have a low key relationship, with them constantly flirting at one another and hanging out in their respective endings.

Laocorn’s VA is Matt Hill, and judging by his Wiki, it mostly shows other roles as Kira Yamato from Gundam, Pantyhose Taro from Ranma 1/2, Carlos from Transformers Armada, and yes, as you mentioned, Bankotsu from Inuyasha as well as the aforementioned Ryo from Ronin Warriors

Phil mentions acquisitions are not done in an interview, looking to Asia mostly to fill a hole

XBOX is never going to be a thing in Asia. A 32X could outsell the XBOX One in Japan. They have 3 generations of consoles to prove that it’s never gonna happen.

The continent of Asia is greater than the archipelago of Japan…

Been playing Death Stranding over the past few days, its good.

I’m surprised that no reviewer has compared it to community gardening yet. DS is slow paced, looks good, tedious but in a calming way, sometimes stressful, most of the challenge lies in the preparation, and you get delayed gratification for the postive stuff you’ve done. Also the terrain opperates as a passive enemy which is gardening as fuck.

Biggest negative is that menus are horrible, and the mechanics do not translate well to the boss fights.

The newest NFS Heat has been reviewing well, and has no MTX.

As soon as I get healthy, I’m snagging either the PS4 or the PC version…

Aside from Carlos from the Transformer Armada show and the character from Inuyasha which I can’t remember, I have hated everyone of this man’s characters. Not due to his voice I just don’t like one aspect or another.

But the Xbox never sold well in Asia.

With China opening up the market to foreigners that could very well change. Japan is relatively xenophobic in comparison.

Like honestly, If Phil Spencer cared, he never canceled so many projects for the Xbox one.

Xbox is not going to do well in China, something that easy to pirate in is going to do well
