    [Jul 17, 2015] Skullgirls EVO 2015 Side Tournament (Las Vegas, NV)

    So only top 8 will be available to watch live? Will pools be recorded by Guard Break or something like last year?

    Zero Escape Series

    Apparently it's been confirmed that Vol 3 will be the final piece in this trilogy, but who knows if it sells. Was it...the path on the left or on the right? I played it on 3DS and to my knowledge, that one is considered the better version, but I doubt it really matters. Get it on whatever...

    Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

    All anime "looks the same" in the same way that all fighting games play/feel the same. That's probably the kind of blanket statement those guys mean.

    Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

    There's probably more references in SG than unique frames of animation. If not SG references, than surely SM or VP ones. If SG had hat tips to other fighting games, Indivisible will probably have some Metroid/action adventure or RPG nods as well.

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    I will say that Yukiko did get better for me as the game went on. Now that I'm thinking about it, I really didn't like Yosuke very much either. Junpei had his moments near the end game, I honestly did respect his subplot with his waifu, but that really came off to me as a 5 minutes of fame type...

    Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

    I'm also very curious about who the publisher is, especially considering that SG's lack of a publisher willing to fund the big bucks is a big reason why the game is “stopping” this Tuesday after 2nd Encore/Robo Kitty. Considering how much bigger metroidvanias are today, and the success of the...

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    While P3 and P4 had characters I really liked, both games had some really bland, uninteresting archetypes for characters. Yukiko, Yukari and Junpei were my least favorites.

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    Alright yeah, that sounds more in tune with what appeals to me. Generally though, people use relateable to really mean those that possess similarities, not just capacity for sympathy or emotional/spiritual/intellectual elements.

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    Maybe I'm the weirdo here, but my appeal in “relateable characters” has been plummeting lately. Sure, I of course understand the appeal, but to me, characters that are designed to be relateable nowadays seem more and more boring and derivative. I've found that many of the characters I personally...

    Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

    Mike, are there any other games besides Super Metroid and Valkyrie Profile that are the inspiration? I play a shit ton of SM but have never touched VP so I'm curious if any other specific individual titles are serving as the foundation. I JUST WANNA UNDERSTAND....

    Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

    Something I've been meaning to ask myself too. Turned based games are kinda stale on me now, BUT some examples like SMT: Devil Survivor and Advance Wars have pretty strategic and deep systems, and from what I've read tonight, VP sounds like it isn't some basic Pokemon/FF combat engine.

    Zero Escape Series

    Wait. Really? Okay then. I searched again and again and again on this site for a thread about Zero Escape, 999/Virtue's Last Reward, and didn't find any, so I guess I'll just start the thread here and now? Hopefully I'm not the only one who got to save my waifu by teaching her mad sudoku...

    Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

    I think the real question that's on everyone's minds about Indivisible is, will it be fight stick compatible?

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    I'm actually very, very surprised I never made that death drive connection. I almost always hear Jung in relation to Persona as opposed to Freud. But yeah, Freud had some wonky stuff. Imagine if castration anxiety had been in these games. P3: MEMENTO MORI P4: SEEKERS OF TRUTH P5: I JUST WANNA...

    Shin Megami Tensei and Persona

    I actually found Izanami's rationalization more plausible than Nyx's. Hear me out here, I'm basing my info from my unreliable memory so bear with me. The great tragedy that the P4 cast is trying to avoid is by having all of humanity turned into shadows and be absorbed by the Fog / TV world...

    Indivisible: Lab Zero's Action-RPG! (General Discussion)

    But Metroidvania is supposed to be specific and stupendously fails, unlike shooter/action adventure/etc.. That's like calling your game a PokeZelda and still having zero consensus. At least people can tell when a game is a shooter or something. But Metroidvania? Not really.
