I was aiming for the head as much as possible. When they stumbled, I just thought of it as invincibility frames and used it to line up shots.
Just beat the first Uncharted. It was a cool story. 
Having a beefy bc is nice. Bangai-O, Guardian Heroes, Radiant Silvergun, Panzer Dragoon Orta etc. in one stop is beyond awesome, but thereâs only so much time, and Iâm overwhelmed as it is.
I wonder if Gun Valkyrie and the Otogi games are bc?
I had more invested into a 360 than a PS3 that barely got used by me so I went with an Xbone. I donât regret it and I prefer their controllers. being able to pull more BC games with it was a nice bonus. also most of my work is done with Windows devices so itâs simpler to integrate.
Honestly I snagged that shit trilogy on the cheap to test of the enhanced BC of my Xbox One. FFXIII is a terrible game but looks damn good at 1728p. XIII-2 is 4K as is Lightning Returns. I did play XIII-2 for a little bit and found it fare more enjoyable than the original game. BC on it isât perfect though. It runs perfect 90% of the time, but every so often runs at half speed so you restart the game to. LR runs fine from what I can tell but I literally just played it for 15 minutes to make sure it ran. Lost Odyssey is awesome though. Itâs 4K and if IIRC, you donât only disc 1 to play through the whole game.
When the HD Gen + Wii happened I didnât go with any of the consoles for the longest time because none of them had an extensive library of games that appealed to me.
Since being able to buy my own consoles my rule of thumb is there has to be at least 3-5 games out and/or coming out in order for me to invest in the system. When it came to HD system I got the 360 first simply because it had more I wanted at the time
Then Sony woke the fuck up, came out with the slim PS3 and started dropping amazing exclusive after amazing exclusive and eventually better ports. I eventually stopped using the 360
It wasnât that i didnât see any value in the 360 anymore I just stopped playing it outside of fighters that were exclusive to the platform because the content of the PS3 was just that much better.
I eventually got a Wii too but it wasnât until almost half way through itâs life cycle cause for the longest time outside of BC it just didnât have a library worth investing into.
I had a lot of GCN games so getting a Wii seemed like a natural fit for me. Sony got arrogant with the early PS3 lifespan. I only got a 360 because I was on team MS during my time at Activision and I got each game I tested for free.
I will say people continue to underestimate backwards compatibility. Even if you donât always use it (I had Wii games but didnât care to use much of them on my Wii U) itâs a big deal. Game Boy was my main device for years because each ver allowed you to play older games. If my old copy of tetris wasnât stolen in High School, I would have been playing it on my GBA SP. Microsoft would be wise to just build upon an integrated ecosystem at this point.
Hell Iâd sell you my Xbone if it wasnât able to use the BC it has now.
My love for Nintendo kinda teetered back and forth during 64 and GameCube era. I didnât really learn to appreciate either libraries until much later. So the Wii having BC didnât really impress me.
I didnât get a DS for a longest time either for the same reason. I just didnât appreciate itâs library at the time and for the longest time plus GBA BC didnât really matter to me. I didnât get a 3DS until the XL cause the library just wasnât there for me and BC while a nice feature and can be a selling point to lots of people (me included) but it isnât always a selling point to me.
Iâm all for BC, donât get me wrong. But the point of a new system to me is to play the new content that system has on it. Not just eat member berries all day and reliving âthe good ole daysâ. This current gen being called the âRemake/Remaster Generationâ is pretty apt. As good as the remasters have been and how Iâve supported a lot of them, I wish more content exclusive to the systems would have been made.
That said, Xbox doing almost the entirety of 3 past generation of BC plus up to 2 years of cross gen is very appealing and a huge selling point to me.
MechAssault is another one they let fall into obscurity. I gave up hope a long time ago that there would ever be another one. There was a MechAssault 2 (still on the âoriginalâ Xbox) but that was it as far as I know.
also yeahâI will always care about backwards compatibilityâŠthatâs always a bonus, imo. Recently I was playing Bayonetta and the older Gears of War games on XB1 again.
Pretty sure I remember looking Otogi up and finding it isnât.
Gunvalkyrie isnât either 
Found it asking around on Twitter.
man, this weekâs Diablo challenge rift was another easy one⊠a Barbarian build⊠and I wish I had that 6-wing cosmetic the character hasâŠI am not sure what event or season that was from.
âŠfinally got the âMesserschmidtâ axe legendary power (subtracts 1 second of cooldown on a skill for each enemy killed); another godlike pickup for my wizardâŠnow I can be in Godmode aka Archon form nearly all the time. (cheap thing with that and Chantodos/Vyrs build-- after your Archon form endsâŠusually the âWave of Destructionâ from Chantodoâs hits 1 more time at the end, automatically cutting a lot off the cooldown for your next Archon transformationâŠso you are often able to immediately go Archon againâŠhahah itâs so ridiculous. Keep in mind this is âtoned downâ, actually. Wizard continues to be GOD.)
Yyyyyup. Between the dogs & birds in bloodborne, bats in Castlevania, and birds in old school Ninja gaiden, I hate most video game animals with a passion.
Poppy in Samurai Showdown is an exception, but only if Iâm playing AS Galford 
I hope so. There are times where GameStop exclusive releases skip EBgames. Duke Nukem 3D: World Tour released exclusively at GameStop and it never made it here. Fun fact: GameStop owns EBGames but they didnât want to spend the money to rebrand the company in Canada and Aussie-Trailey-Ya and because of that, itâs technically 2 different companies. 
If it does make it here thatâd be fantastic. Iâd rather pay 40-60 bucks for a copy than pay 200+ after converting $$$, import and shipping fees for aâŠ20 dollar digital title. Itâs also silly at this point SEGA didnât do a traditional release with the game. Itâs on LRG, some London version of LRG and itâs now releasing at GameStop. I meanâŠyeah.

Huh⊠so former Infinity Ward employees leave the studio to create Respawn Entertainment, and now some employees of Respawn are going to leave that to create another new studio
Interesting story arc
Itâs too soon. I expected for EA to ruin them before former employees started their own team.
True aside from killing Titanfall 2 with a bad release date and zero promotion they havenât done nearly enough damage to the Respawn name and titles.
Considering that the CEO of Respawn managed to have a good deal that gives Respawn autonomy, specially because he is part of the chair board of EA, i think that Respawn will be fine for a while.
More so when you consider that besides Titanfall 2, their games have been done extremely well financially; and all have been critically acclaimed, including Titanfall 2.
And from what i heard, Titanfall has managed to sell decently way after its release, specially after Apex launched.
