Also, even weirder, XCOM 2 has a bunch of cutscenes that tie into its plot for some bizarre reason?

Yeah, its a turn based game where you move dudes around on a grid and has a pretty expansive strategy layer. Not super great for MP.

Inescapable Duck posted:There was a XCOM FPS which was announced before they revealed the remake I remember those dark days before the real game was announced. I remember the people who were like, "There isn't a market for turn-based games anymore, we need to take what we can get" Back then I don't think I could have imagined this moment where two of the year's biggest releases are a full-featured expansion pack to the sequel of a wildly successful XCOM reboot and a Mario crossover game using XCOM's mechanics, coming out on the same day. I probably couldn't have imagined a lot of other things but that's neither here nor there

Ursine Catastrophe posted:It's not just seeds, every named area on the map counts towards % as well. Someone in the BotW thread said they were going to grind out all the seeds against all advice to the contrary, got to 94% or so at 900 seeds, and afaik hasn't posted in that thread since. Can't wait for GDQ to feature a 100% BotW run that lasts the entire week

CharlieFoxtrot posted:I probably couldn't have imagined a lot of other things but that's neither here nor there Someone came up with the idea that the world was actually supposed to end in 2012 and now we're in the post-game procedurally generated timeline because whoever was playing clicked "I'm not done yet, just a few more turns" and I'm finding it harder to argue with as time goes on The alternative argument is that with infinite universes and so many ways for us to accidentally kill ourselves off as a species, it stands to reason that we'll keep getting weirder and weirder events because by definition we're still in one of the timelines that managed to not off ourselves yet against all odds What I'm saying is Mario+Rabbids releasing and being good was actually inevitable

I don't see how you can get much out of any game if you don't have time to reach lv 10 in Splatoon, though. Probably takes less time than just finding all the drat kettles in the last world of Hero Mode.

Tried ARMS at last with the waggle controls. The party mode is a pretty good way to get into grips with the game, although I'm not too sure about the 2vs2 mode. It's... not that bad. I'll have to play more in the weekend to make up my mind.

I remember the people who were like, "There isn't a market for turn-based games anymore, we need to take what we can get" It's really weird how corporate execs sometimes just decide that there isn't a market for something with no actual proof. Remember when Square-Enix was really surprised that Bravely Default, a classic-style JRPG, actually sold well and was what people in the west wanted?

The only thing I didn't like about BD is the addition of the streetpass and micropayments things where it was just MASH A TO WIN Luckily, I could just ignore them and play the game. Most fun I've had in an RPG since FFIII(US)SNES

LethalGeek posted:Oh why do I feel like this is going to be bad Even if it is, I can forgive a lot if they add an "active" combat mode where the game doesn't pause if another player goes in to the ring menu to use items or magic. Toss in a boss rush mode or the ability to ramp up the difficulty? Yes please. Also add the missing claw orb so you don't have to grind for two of them in the Mana Fortress to get the final claw weapon.

Edit: also the first boss was really cool so I'm curious to see more of that stuff.
