Board 8 > Board 8 Video Game Topic - Xenoblade Edition

(+) Yeah! (+)

transience has been overthrown, and you guys keep letting the topic purge. But Xenoblade is enough to resurrect it because it comes out in a few days.

Maybe the name change will get other people to post in here.

~STUFF~
- Lots of next-gen rumors floating around recently. Most of them are probably fake! Keep this in mind next time you get mad at Microsoft for requiring you to stick your dick in the system to validate the disk. [warning: explicit content]

XENOBLADE

I'll probably be playing Tales of Graces f instead, even though I pre-ordered Xenoblade. Too many RPGs =(

I still have Graces f to play through so I'll probably hold off on Xenoblade until the summer.

I'd get it just to be safe. There will probably just be a one print run.

Throw Graces in the trash, Xenoblade is better.

"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

If you can't decide on Xenoblade, just freakin' buy it and don't open it! Likely a single-print game we're talking about here...!

I'm sure there will be used copies to go around!

But can you play them on your PS4?

Er, wait.

In any case, Nintendo is to blame for any shortages this game has. It's silly that GameStop is the only retailer carrying the game.

--
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

Downright silly. Still facepalming at that here and there in between the remaining bouts of squee that we're even getting the game here in America given the JRPG climate internationally these days.

Nintendo is just being stubborn about it. People had to throw a fit for them to even release it, when the Wii schedule is completely barren. They also passed on localizing their other game, The Last Story, and let a third-party handle that. Just Nintendo being Nintendo.

--
"When I was a young man, I had liberty, but I did not see it. I had time, but I did not know it."

I do believe you're right good sir. And it's absolutely ridiculous. Their slate really is barren right now -- as people with foresight knew would be the case months and months ago. "Why not release these two wonderful games then and rake a few more sales?" "No, because no." "Ah, I see. Marvelous critical thinking there, business."

Oh, it still makes me facepalmer, it really well and truly does.

And on that note I'm hitting the sack... perhaps with my head harshly smacking a pillow on the way down in honor of Nintnedo's strange practices.

Still floored with anticipation for Friday though!

Nothing super interesting today. Silvercross has an interview with Giant Bomb happening RIGHT NOW, so hopefully that goes well.

Much better news! Gonna be a good stretch at the mid point of the year with this and Theatrhythm. Wish we had pricing on the expansion, though I imagine I'll probably come in at $30.

tell me more about this Funky Barn 3D

--
ICON:
the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops the raindrops

Run your own 3D funky and frenzied farm! Ready to make some wool? Pop your sheep into The Shearing Machine and he will hilariously cannonball out, surprised but shorn. Ready to harvest your crops? Hook up the Flying FruitBox-Haybale-Copter that flies around crazily picking up boxes of fruit and grain. With tons of wacky contraptions and goofy animals, Funky Barn 3D, the first farm simulation game for Nintendo 3DS, is not your average farm game.


Sounds like Farming Simulator 2012 has some competition.

I will admit that I did not know the past tense of shear was shorn.

So I learned something new today.

huh, apparently Pandora's Tower began development in 2006... that's very surprising to me.

Also this quote made m chuckle (Iwata Asks)

"I’d always wanted to make a game that would appeal to boys, from students starting secondary school to around twenty years old. So that’s why I chose to put a woman at the centre of this game."

It's been weird without, since I'm used to downloading something to my 360 most weeks.

lawsuits so fun

Activision Blizzard is being sued for allegedly utilizing technology in a patent owned by Worlds Inc. The company claims that ATVI is violating its patent by using a "system and method for enabling users to interact in a virtual space."

Keeping an ear out for anything interesting going on at PAX this weekend, but it seems fairly quiet so far.

Here's something that looks kinda cool. It's from the guys who did Machinarium, though, so it might suck.
