So supposedly IGA (Castlevania) and Yoko Taro (Nier, Drakengard, a boat load of Cavia games) are also doing post mortem talks on their games too at GDC this year. I can't help but be fascinated and excited by all of these talks off these Japanese devs. I even found out just recently when I asked him what games Yoko Taro worked on at Namco and he told me one of them was Time Crisis 2 and that Cavia was made up of mostly former Namco devs. It sort of makes sense now why Capcom gave them the Gun Survivor series.

Here's hoping Suda does one in the future some time too.

He did one last year but it was more about his relationship with gungHo. Knowing Yoko Taro will be there I'm going to seek him out.

Pretty cool idea. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/29 ... f-gameplay

Hopefully it turns out decent. Might be worth the money even for understanding of a few basic words/phrases, since its incredibly hard with no help (to me anyway). Plus MiTT3NZ backed it so it must be gold :)

I only backed it so they'd buy me beer. I'll essentially be breaking even.

EDIT: Thought you were talking about Beatdown. Yeah, it looks like a good idea this Koe or whatever it's called.

I don't know if anyone here plays/played Diablo 3 on PC, but the new update fixes pretty much everything that was wrong with it, making it more like its predecessor. The auction house has been removed, legendary drops now coincide with the class you are playing (I no longer find Monk specific weapons imbued with useless stats that are only relevant to the Wizard lol), and they have totally revamped the ability trees, making each class serve its intended purpose. Had so much fun playing it last night, can't wait for the new expansion later this month.

I think they still need to work on some of the randomization. I'd need to sit and look at why but something about it "feels" wrong. Still its a big step, now if they could focus on offline and co-op experiences we'd be cool.

OL wrote: Jude. Figured he's more along the lines of the standard male protagonists from the rest of the series, while Milla must be like the required "chosen one" girl that seemingly every Tales game has (though obviously much more competent in a fight). Seemed more natural to see things through Jude's eyes.
Also loved the fact that he's all hand-to-hand. I know it's not considered the greatest of Tales games (and I still haven't finished it) but I remember thinking that the coolest thing about Tales of Legendia was that Senel (the protagonist) was a martial artist rather than a swordsman. I love little change-ups like that, and it's proven to be really fun in this case.


Actually once you realize some of the scenes you will have missed from picking judes side (which you will have to play again and choose millas side to see those scenes, which btw the game has a fantastic New Game+ which I know you are a fan of), you might change your mind about that. I kind of wished I picked millas side now that i have seen the entirety of judes side. Maybe ill go back and play the other side of the story one day.

Yeah, I think I'm near the end now, and there were definitely a few places where things would have been much different if I'd picked Milla, what with her being out of the group for relatively lengthy amounts of time. It'll be interesting seeing what the game does with those parts.
Might be a while before I ever see it though. I am a man who loves a good new game+, but I'm hoping to tackle some other games first.

Just beat my wife in Brunswick bowling for the Kinect. She usually is really good and doesn't lose. It's funny how some "non-gamers" go really hard in games, and try to act like games are beneath them and like they're not competitive. It's always funny to see their faces when they see the game slipping away- like this forced smile covering rage.
