IJBM: Some of the later levels in Quantum Conundrum stop being puzzles and start being pure execution challenges.
Finished Quantum Conundrum.
The ending was...disappointing. There's a twist that's visible a mile away, but it seems like some really cool stuff will happen afterwards, but then it just ends just as it seems like something awesome is about to happen. Apparently there are DLC packs coming out, so maybe the ending will be in those, but I don't intend to buy them.
I've been working on finishing all the games I need to finish. Just finished Professor Layton and the Curious Village.
Yeah, yeah, quadruple posting, but I have stuff to say dammit >:-|
EA is convinced that Origin is the Facebook to Steam's Myspace, and that they'll be able to get all of their future releases to Metacritic at 90+.
They seem to not realize that thousands of people are probably going to uninstall Origin this week.
Also, they refer to the service as a mousetrap, which is an excellent analogy, but they don't seem to understand that that isn't a good thing.
^I can see the mass metacritic bomb already.
Maybe I'll take that Facebook/Myspace analogy seriously if a shitty mp3 starts playing every time I look at something on Steam.
Steam autoloading (and autoplaying) videos is kinda like that, though it usually does it without sound by default.
Still not as annoying as entering, say, Haven's blog and hearing "Hmm watcha say" playing at the top of its proverbial lungs
Beats making you exit a popup ad every time you launch it like Origin does.
popups?
what is this, 2008
Oh son of a bitch. I started a Maniac run in Persona 3 Portable, but I was still doing a normal run too, and I accidentally saved on top of that file! And I was almost to the end of the game. All my powerful Personas, gone! Urrrrggghhh, aren't there supposed to be safeguards against accidental overwriting of savefiles? Not even a warning either!
Megaten games: Keeping you on your toes at all times, even on a meta-level.
There's seriously no warning though?
Nope. Just the standard, "Do you want to overwrite the file?" question that occurs, even when saving over your own game. Not even a "You're saving over a different file, are you sure you want to overwrite it?" Odd cause, I could swear P4 had something like that.
I really don't think I ever remember any game having a message like that.
Then again, it's not all that often that the situation would come up, so it's very possible that I just didn't notice.
I don't think I've ever seen anything like that either.
Every game I've played does that .___.
Every game I've ever played has the "are you sure you want to overwrite this," but I don't think I've ever seen one say "you're saving over a different file". I'm not sure how you would even track that. The closest I can think of is Mass Effect having save files for different "careers" separated, which prevents the problem from coming up in the first place.
I see it a lot.
The thing is, most people don't see them because they only come up if you restart the game and overwrite your old file.
In Pokemon they do it by your randomly-generated trainer ID. It's also how they check if a Pokemon was originally yours.
I don't think he was being literal.
Gen I Pokémon had that, which is weird because if you're playing a different file, chances are you do want to overwrite the old one.
bitches don't even know about all my additional florins
Way to kick everybody who has supported you since FFVII in the butt Square.
What a bizarre thing to say. I mean, the premise is obviously questionable--not just that FFVII is the best, but that it's even possible to "exceed" it in some absolute sense. But if you accept that as true, why would you only rerelease it when that happens? Wouldn't that be when it's least relevant, and when people are least interested in it?
I guess in a less literal sense it can be taken as a goal for them to strive towards, but...I dunno.
^^They're probably talking about review scores.
XIII-2 got 40/40 from Famitsu if I remember correctly.
XIII-2!
Hasn't Famitsu become infamous for inflated review scores?
A lot of people I've seen have said that XIII-2 is far better than XIII. I haven't played either, so *shrug*
It really kinda is.
Well, at the very least they want to make sure the story is scripted better and the graphics look nicer.
