Games, Games, GAMES!! (Besides iDOLM@STER, of course XD)

Anyone know anything about this?

Is this talking about your Xbox account gamerpic? I've never seen any outside of the Japanese store. Or is it talking about something else?

(Also, outdated article is outdated.)

I can vouch for the im@s gamerpics being on the US marketplace.  Just look up my username on xbox, you should see a pic of Miki.  I think I recall there being like 3 different sets of pics to purchase, and I'm kicking myself for not grabbing up the other 2 at the time.  Either way, it was a long time ago, and they were removed shortly afterwards.  I'm not entirely sure why though...

[Daverost]

Oh, so they were removed. Weird.

Not a huge deal, though. I already bought a pack from the JP Marketplace a while back and I've been using Makoto since. Just thought it'd be a nice way to throw money at Namco.

Thought I'd post this, showing off the skills of my brand new camera in the process.


(imitating Tony Montana) Say hello to my little friend!

Well, got good ending in Touhou 07 and 08. And stopped on 09 to try playing Castle of Shikigami III (Wii). The first time I saw that game, I admit I didn't got any interest. After playing Touhou and looking for the term "Shikigami" (Yeah, I wanted to satisfy my curiosity about that creature), I reminded that Wii have a danmaku like game. And... it's veeeeery hard. And I was playing on normal mode. xD

I've been spending my time playing Tales of the Abyss (2nd playthrough) too. Just reached the cameo battle part. It's so cool.

And... I getting ready for more polemics. I just added Shin Megami Tensei IV to my game list.

Well, how much of it was due to Touhou being considered fairly easy danmaku (with ZUN's bullet patterns trying to be more elegant than super-hard)? ;-)

Whaaaat? Easy? Then I still newbing a lot. Therefore, dunno how much harder is... >_<

[TheTanStar]

The difficulty is relative. They're still really hard games for the most part.

Found out about this today.

Pretty much, Keiji Inafune wants to make a game a lot like Mega Man, except since he's not at Capcom anymore he can't actually call it Mega Man. The video on the kickstarter seems to say that he didn't feel good about Legends 3 being cancelled, so he did this. Which I find pretty hilarious.

Like, in a day they got 800 grand of the 900 they want. That was pretty quick. At this rate, maybe they'll hit the 2.5 million for an all console release by the end of the month.

Idolm@ster 3? Well... I wonder for which console.

Yeah... that's it.

[JNiles]

This news displeases me.  Other people are trying to look on the bright side, but I remember Sega primarily for the titles they don't bring to America.  And I think this puts Atlus USA in jeopardy... for example, NIS America lost the localization tasks for the Atelier games once Gust was acquired by Tecmo Koei.

[Yui]

Talking about Atlus, I just finished Shin Megami Tensei IV. My reaction:

I didn't got a world filled with demons, or a world of order, but... WTF?! Did I just destroyed the world?!

Anyway... I wonder how it'll be with Sega. (Polemics?)

Beat Arcanum Knights after taking various breaks from it because I hated the game so much. And I felt like ranting about it. Like, with the fury of a thousand suns.

For what it's worth, there's a lot of unique enemies, and great special effects for each attack. It feels like a real game, made by people who know what they're doing... until you play it. It's one of those games that's made to be hard, but mistakes gameplay difficulty for gameplay depth. Which means, of course, that it's not a very complex game at all, but still filled with senseless crap that you have to deal with.

Ugh. Do yourself a favor and get a SaGa game instead. And yes, if you hate SaGa games, you will loathe this. Also, if you like SaGa games... well, you just might loathe this too.

Another 6th Gen Pokemon appears! The evolution of Honedge, Doublade, was revealed today and it got me thinking...

Two swords. Dual Blade? Pokemon has recreated Daos's worst nightmare!
