Media / Anime, TV, and Movies / Re: Abrams set to direct Star Wars VII

I've liked every JJ Abrams film I've seen. Star Wars can only go up from here, and he's got a great team of screenwriters. I am worried 0%.
The guys who wrote the Transformers movies? I am worried 100% It's not the guys who wrote those. It's Michael Arndt and Lawrence Kasdan. EDIT: Sorry, Kasdan is doing VIII and IX. But Arndt is doing VII. Not Orci or Kurtzmann. Also, I can appreciate why someone might not like the new Star Trek as compared to the old stuff. It's definitely a different flavor. But as someone that grew up loving Star Wars novels a whole lot more than Star Trek, I was certainly plenty entertained by the new movie. |

That's...extremely repetitive.
It's from 1989 AND I WILL NOT HEAR BAD THINGS ABOUT PHANTASY STAR YOU! Also it's a shop theme, how many games even had shop themes in 1989? I'm sorry I'm not attacking you. Well, maybe a little, but Phantasy Star is lodged in my heart. I swear I'm not insane. I promise. |

Now we can all fight Xemnas in KH1! It's the coolest boss fight in the game, for those of you that haven't played it. Now, they really need to localize KH2.5, so we can get HD ports of KH2FM+ and BBS, because those are the two best games in the series. |

I'd much rather see Xenoblade-style single player, with the ability to inject two or three other people in as cooperative partners. I'm not sure how thrilled I'd be to see something like "HERE IS YOUR CAMPAIGN. ALSO HERE ARE 10 SPECIAL MISSIONS WE MADE FOR COOP THAT ARE TOTALLY UNRELATED TO THE STORY AND YOUR PARTY THERE."
I also hope they don't forego named, personality-full characters in favor of generic, create-a-character, multiplayer-friendly parties

My favorite part about the whole system is that you get different dialogues between the characters based on who you pair. That alone is replayability for me. Characters make the story. Can't wait!

I also hope not. I'd love it if it just had smooth co-op play, because Xenoblade's combat system is perfect for that. It'd be a fantastic alternative to Tales games. Imagine the possibilities. Not necessary, but having it well-implemented WOULD be exciting for me.

You know, I don't see why they used the Xenogears X. Xenoblade had nothing to do with that, other than the name and the homage. I love the X, but it just seems cruel to tease us as though it'll be a new "Xeno" game like that.

From the bunch I played of EO3 I found the lack of story was one point against the game for me. Still, I did manage to have fun with the game but I think it needs too much grinding and it gives very little in the form of reward (which many times can be a story), so as much as I wanted to support this game and give it a go, I'll probably wait more to see people's reactions on it. In the meantime I'm putting my chances on a genre of RPG which I'm much more inclined to like, Fire Emblem: Awakening.
The game is basically EO1-2-3 with polygonal enemies and live instrumentation in its music. Which I think is awesome, but if you're looking for more emphasis on plot, you may have to look elsewhere. AND ADVENTURE IS ITS OWN REWARD! |

I was thinking that given how the controller for the Wii U is The Wind Waker can benefit greatly from it.
You could finally use the Tingle Tuner without the need of an another system and hunting for treasure in the ocean can be a more interesting affair, especially for when you have to get the Triforce charts.
Or, god willing, they can just get rid of the whole Triforce chart sequence entirely because it made me hate Tingle for all eternity. Or at the very least, remove the absurd rupee cost. FUCK YOU TINGLE! |

I'm definitely not "the internet" but I sure didn't like Diablo 3 at all for many reasons - none of which have to do with errors.
Going back to that terrible May of 2012, when I shortly realized it was the biggest disappointment of waiting 11 years for a game, I just didn't like how it boiled down to being a Auction House based game, where all power comes from that. Not to mention, its a money-suck for Blizzard to make money off fake video game 'items'.
Oh for sure, I agree with all of that. But I do think the core combat feels good, and I think the running internet joke of "hah hah error 37" has run its course. I think the game is fantastically playable, right up until you get to the end and realize that the design of the game broke the entire metagame that gave D2 its legs. |
