Conversation Between Finch and No One

I pledged $89 to Red Ash (the game) for you, Finchie.

The internet is just the worst sometimes.

Er, Devil Survivor not summoner, all these devils being survived

If you'd told me that was Devil Survivor 3, I'd have believed you.

look at dis Kwayy Megumi Tenchi shit

If i'm not mistaken it's the character designer of Devil Survivor as well.

I have 400+ games on my Steam account. I've beaten maybe 50 of them. I have at least 50 or 60 PSX/PSP/Vita RPGs on my largest memory card that I've barely touched. I have a dozen 3DS games I haven't made a dent in.

It's pretty bad. I guess I like knowing they're there if I want to play them.

I guess that depends on how much you're into low(ish) fantasy. All three games are extremely well-written and play with choice and branching paths in a way that's actually meaningful (compared to, say, Bioware). There's a lot of intrigue and gruff badass dudes and naughty bits with sorceresseseses.

The first game can be skipped for a number of reasons, but the plot of Witcher 2 continues into the third game, making it a great place to start. It's also really cheap, so no major loss if it's not to your taste.

if i threw away every video game system i owned except for any single 1 of them (excluding possibly NeoGeo Pocket Color) i would have enough video game to last me several years and i think i might actually be to the point where it'd be impossible to finish all of them within my lifetime if i don't have like 10 years of never buying anything new or keeping a job or doing anything except playing video games and i keep saying "uh well i should buy a PC to play video games on" and this voice in the back of my head says "maybe you should just throw them all away instead"

in a hypothetical world that i have the time to play a Witcher game, should i play a witcher game

Yeah, i was surprised to see it was Kenji Ito too!

I've been playing both versions of Devil Survivor 2 since 2012 and only just learned today that Kenji Ito did the OST. No wonder I like it so much.

Or not! Searching for your name yields no results.

Oh god, you've been a ghost the whole time.

Yeah, I just noticed all that this morning. Sorry!

Actual ID is megabee79. I'll add you right now.

"Make a point to connect all these names to Nier and Drakengard 'Uh, okay, but there's no way this is actually–'"

This made me laugh pretty hard. That's exactly what was going on in my head.

I was so excited that I texted my wife at work to tell her about it, and she's barely aware Nier is a video game. That's the most excited I've ever been about anything ever.

and then Yoko Taro comes out on stage with an Emil head and acting like he belongs there and everyone that doesn't know both Taro and Nier must be wondering what the hell is going on

YEAH. I CAN"T STOP THINKING ABOUT HOW MASTERFUL THAT REVEAL WAS

Most goddamned boring conference

Suits talking about Suit Stuff

Financial blah blah blah blah blah guy Yosuke Saito and you think "where have i heard that name, but he's financial something something who cares what this is"

Show "Platinum Games" "Oh, this must be some Square Enix mashup thing, okay

Make a point to connect all these names to Nier and Drakengard "Uh, okay, but there's no way this is actually–"

Director- YOKO TARO *START SCREAMING SO LOUD THAT YOU MISS THAT THE THEME PLAYING IS DEVOLA AND POPOLA'S THEME

NIER "HOW THE HELL WHAT IS HAPPENING HERE THIS IS LIKE MEGA MAN LEGENDS 3 BUT THIS ONE WOULDN"T EVEN MAKE IT PAST THE GREENLIGHT STAGE HOW WHAT AAAAAUGH"

1.) Nier was the big one, because it was absolutely out of nowhere and just kept getting more amazing the more I learned about it. That Platinum is involved just blows my mind. I can still barely believe it!
2.) Final Fantasy VII, obviously. Overall I think SE completely dominated E3 this year. I was really only expecting to see Bravely Second, FFXV and maybe Kingdom Hearts III. I'm happy to see there's some life in them yet.
3.) Miyazaki returning for Dark Souls III
4.) That crazy Transformers G1 game
5.) Last Guardian didn't really wow me, but I was happy to see it's still being worked on.
6.) SMT X Fire Emblem really looks better than it has any right to. It's so weird how they've incorporated bits of Fire Emblem into what is otherwise the most Atlus-looking game I'm ever seen. Can't wait to see how extensive it really is.
7.) MOTHER 1! Please let 3 be next...

What were your favorite shown this year, assuming something huge doesn't get announced tomorrow?

mine were

1) Nier
2) SMT X Fire Emblem (i'm going to move the marker in my brain that says this was revealed in April)
3) World of Final Fantasy
4) That Square Enix actually wants to make a Tokyo studio dedicated to making jrpgs for a worldwide audience.

There are so many amazing alternatives to the classic Metroid games out there now that I'm a little baffled at the vitriol directed towards Federation Force. I think it looks really fun. Star Fox Zero looks interesting, too; I couldn't help but chuckle at the GERWALK Arwing in the trailer. Nintendo really does have some of the shittiest fans in gaming.

i think i'm more disappointed in people's reactions to the Nintendo thing than i was the actual Nintendo thing, which i thought was underwhelming, mostly because they already announced all the big things they showed. That Skylanders thing being the second thing they showed didn't really help it though...

Oh. :P I've never even heard of LINE! I'll download it and get it all set up so we can message tomorrow. Sounds fun.

Also Square Enix was soooooo boring and then they're like "Financial Advisor blah blah blah blah blah blah" AND THEN IT WAS THE MOST AMAZING THING

Shoot I should've probably said i meant Line Chat, the phone app. Are you on that? Send me your screen name if you are!

Oh my god SE's conference.



Despite TNL's old man bitching, I kinda liked some of the stuff Nintendo showed.

Yes! I'm on sporadically at weird hours most nights, so message away.
