The same thing with Demon Souls happened to me in Dark Souls... I played the shit out of it when I got it then got burnt out prior to finishing it. I'm tempted to pick up the PC version during winter sale if uraizen continues to have good impressions of it
 
Oh, Alex Jones, you are a silly silly man:

VG24/7:You’re right to say that there has to be those core fundamentals that make this feel like part of the Devil May Cry series, and combat is probably the most important aspect. How difficult was that to really nail?

AJ:Yeah it was hard. I only observed it for the most part, but it was the designers on the ground and a number of key creatives in Capcom Japan who worked on it most intensely.

In essence it was like a 25-year wisdom transplant from Capcom to Ninja Theory – from Street Fighter up to Dragon’s Dogma – everything Capcom’s ever learned about one man hitting another essentially [laughs], as well as how you hit people in the most enjoyable fashion possible.

We’ve been working on this for a couple of years, and we were at Ninja Theory about a week out of the month. We’d spend probably one day intensely on Dante’s redesign at the start of the project, and then another three out of five days on just combat, combat, combat.

It was everything from frame-counting, putting a hit stop there, no not quite like that, we have to use this sound for that move, and it was really awesome for Ninja Theory and I think they learned a lot. They’re going to be making amazing combat games for years to come now.

So I broke down and got Fall of Cybertron with gestappo credit. Looking forward to some Grimlock action.


Also, going positive in CS is so satisfying. And by that I mean I'm terrible at it.
 
my professor sent welcome emails out, and it was a 3 paragraph rant about how this japanese culture course will not be an "anime class." i mean, damn. ive been aware that this field attracts grown weeabo children, but apparently it's bad enough that he needs to rage about it before even meeting us.

staying away from that subject for the research paper, for sure.
 
Here's a bit of it:
There are a handful of anime that I like, but I don't go out of my way to watch movies because they are animated by Japanese people. I heartily concede that y'all know more about it than I could ever teach you, anyway. For instance, another student in that spring 2007 section saw fit to correct my pronunciation of the word "anime," because I use the Japanese pronunciation (ah-nee-meh); this cheeky lad wrote--on an exam I was grading, no less--"it's pronounced a-(as in "cat")-nee-meh." Uh HUH.

I don't think Sephy would be a good idea. I'm leaning towards tentacle porn.

I find this hilarious.

Actually the origin of tentacle porn is actually kind of interesting.

Tentacled creatures appeared in Japanese erotica long before animated pornography. Among the most famous of the early instances is an illustration from the novel Kinoe no komatsu of 1814 by Katsushika Hokusai called The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife. It is an example of shunga (Japanese erotic art) and has been reworked by a number of artists.

In 1989, Toshio Maeda's manga Demon Beast Invasion created what might be called the modern Japanese paradigm of tentacle porn, in which the elements of sexual assault are emphasized. Maeda explained that he invented the practice to get around strict Japanese censorship regulations, which prohibit the depiction of the penis but apparently do not prohibit showing sexual penetration by a tentacle or similar (often robotic) appendage.

I remember learning about Hokusai's "The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife" in my high school art class and the minute my teacher showed it to my class a bunch of us started laughing because we were Anime fans and totally knew about tentacle porn.

Dwarven crafts! Fine dwarven crafts, direct from Orzammar!

LOL. Yup, wouldn't be a trip to Denerim without hearing that. That's one thing I love about Dragon Age is that characters from the other origins you don't choose still appear in the game, and you can kind of see what happened to the characters you didn't choose.
 
Well, except for the Dalish Warden.

But yeah, I always liked that about Origins. I always imagined that all of the origin characters existed, but all save the one I played died because Duncan wasn't there to recruit them. The Dalish elf died of blood poisoning, the Cousland was killed along with his parents, the mage was executed by the templars, etc.
 
Awesome, got my car back on Friday, runs like a champ. Then I get to my friend's house and it dies. Alternator is bad. It's always something. FML

Oh yeah, I got super drunk tonight and I'm running on 1 hour of sleep. Amazing.

Played a lot of Skyrim the last two nights and finally finished up all that I'm going to bother with for now. Finished the Dwanguard main quest line, didn't real do many of the sidequests that came along with that since they mostly seemed like fetch quests (find 30 crimson nimroot and crap like that). Then finished off the main quest.

Some stats:

Playtime: 82:55:33

Quests completed: 119
Misc Objectives: 194
Side Quests Completed: 16
Main Quests Completed: 18
Compainions Quests Completed: 6
College of Winterhold Quests Completed: 10
Thieve's Guild Quests Completed: 11
The Dark Brotherhood Quests Completed: 22
Civil War Quests Completed: 9
Daedric Quests Completed: 11
Questlines Completed: 6

Enjoyed the game a ton, but was starting to get bored of it with the length (started it back in May)--and it went quicker for me than a lot since I play on easy and skipped a lot of minor sidequests. Will hold on to it and maybe knock some more stuff out when there's more DLC.

Will be nice to move onto some shorter games. Will probably try and finish Portal 2 next since I started that up a while back. Fear 3 is the only unplayed 360 game I have in the back log, bunch more on the PS3 side after Portal--Uncharted 2 & 3, Killzone 2 & 3, Resistence 1, Infamous 1, Rage. Have a bunch of free PS+ games I'll need to get to eventually, and a couple unplayed XBLA games as well.

One of these days I'll play Dragon Age Origins.

Well they kind of rectify that in Dragon Age 2. Though the Dalish origin is easily my least favorite one. It feels so detached and thrown in last minute.

At least you were close to home. When my alternator dies, I'm usually on the road trying to get somewhere. Last time I was in the middle of nowhere in NC.

just completed bulletstorm, probably my favourite fps game this generation.

i really want to go see paranorman, but its not playing here in town and i would have to drive thirty minutes to the next town to go see (and the prices at that movie theater are crazy)

I'm reluctant to ask, but since talking about DA2 is one of my guilty pleasures...

Your thoughts on DA2?

While I was disappointed in certain aspects of it (recycled environments, enemy waves, "every mage is a fucking blood mage!") over all I definitely liked it. Especially the DLC which I thought was fantastic. I also really liked the Quinari storyline in it. That should have been the main conflict. Not that shit with Anders.
 
While I couldn't say that I liked it or its DLC, I'll agree that the Qunari storyline was the strongest. Far better than the grinding-for-gold (an opening that Baldur's Gate 2 did, actually, only... better...) and mage vs templar stuff.

I don't mind the mage/templar stuff, it was just handled really poorly. For example, how am I supposed to have sympathy for the mages when every single mage you interact with becomes a blood mage. Even Orsino does when you choose to side with him. Makes no sense at all.
