Could it be the game that FINALLY justifies the presence of the PS4 and Xbone? I want to believe.<br /><br /><br />But then I hear that there's a glitch that makes it impossible to progress through conversations and forces a reset of the console. I can see how that can be a problem in a game that's a good three-quarters conversation.<br /><br /><br />But yes, I'm exceedingly happy with how Smash 4 came out. So far it's one of the few games -- and maybe the only game -- that managed to ride the Hype Train all the way to Release Station without turning into a flaming scrap heap as it pulled in. The problem is that now I have to learn how to play legitimately, because if my experiences so far are any hint, I can't rely on my bag of tricks from Brawl to see me through. New AI = THE STRUGGLE IS REAL.<br /><br /><br />That all aside, it's cool that you're having fun with Persona Q. And glad that you like Shovel Knight, too; guess I'd better make sure my post does it justice.<br /><br /><br />Sigh...I guess I'll have to limit the number of Kamen Rider references to eighty. How in the world am I going to manage that?<br /><br /><br />http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/669/006/83e.gifVoltech44noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904713839696769313.post-27871183571984883362014-12-01T22:17:42.436-08:002014-12-01T22:17:42.436-08:00"...but I finished in 28 days. :D"
Ahem..."...but I finished in 28 days. :D"<br /><br />Ahem. This is for you. You've earned it.<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FJbmB9k2Y88<br /><br /><br /><br />Yeah, losing a story mode kind of hurt the game (imagine what HD power could do for a batch of connected cutscenes -- besides make the budget spike), but on the other hand, is that really what people are looking for in Smash? I enjoyed The Subspace Emissary, but after beating it? Never touched it again. Ever. So I guess Sakurai and company focused on the top priority. Or Namco Bandai and company, to some extent. (I like to pretend that Dark Pit's side B special is a fanciful take on Tekken's Electric Wind God Fist.)<br /><br /><br />As for Shovel Knight? Well, let's just see how it goes with that. It's been the core of a LOT of topics on my mind recently, so I'm hoping in the weeks that follow I'll have my feelings all sorted out. Because it would seem that the word of the day is "conflicted".<br /><br /><br />Or "exceed". I love words with X's in them.Voltech44noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6904713839696769313.post-27727392566709441452014-12-01T10:26:11.864-08:002014-12-01T10:26:11.864-08:00I finally got to spend some QT with Smash 4 (I agr...I finally got to spend some QT with Smash 4 (I agree 1000% on the title btw) and I bought an Amiibo for me and my lady friend. Splodie(Link) and Cream Soda(Samus) are already kicking our asses back and forth. <br /><br /><br />I sort of miss the story mode laid out in Brawl, but at the same time I don't. I like how most of Smash is about having fun, not watching cut scenes. In fact it's about making your own damn cut scenes. The Pitt and Palutena talking stuff about the other people in the game is all I need for that.<br /><br /><br />Anyway, I'm glad you're playing Shovel Knight next. I let it fly under the radar for too damn long and ended up obsessing over it until I beat it. No small accomplishment with my busy schedule. November really is a a TERRIBLE month for NaNoWriMo, but I finished in 28 days. :D<br /><br /><br />Cross Up makes a great diversion for those busy days.Eric R.
