DS1 removed some of the tougher enemies after you killed them 1 time - I wouldn't assume it's necessarily that common. [i.e. the "iron pigs" were one kill critters, and the chancellors] Depending on how frequently it's done it could just be that stuff like Black Knights and other one kills...

I'm trying to agree with you, just trying to cover some aspects of why. Got a feeling most small island (Japan is pretty damn huge even though it's technically an island) people's tend to be a bit heavier into gaming though. I know the family we've got in Hawaii are the most hardcore folks I...

More in short - not even just counting age differences (and Japan is well known as a "grey society" because of the lack of kids being born with way more elderly) - the markets are just different. Markets aren't homogenous entities.

Look at the full demographic figures for Japan - their population is 23.1% 65+ - the UK for example is 16.4% 65+ with just over 1/3 of the population being in the "video gamer" age range of 15-40. (I'd give the 15-40 for Japan to compare, but it's not available on anything I'm getting on Google...

Median age in Japan is 44.6 - 2nd highest in the world (behind Monaco which is trivial in size) ALOT of their population is old people that ain't gonna game.

Still a big gap, but yea, losing just shy of half a million sales in a comparison is no good.

Next month is Driveclub. Was a given right before would be lame.

Renewed the wife and my interest, and we've not played since.... 1.1 or something... Enough so in fact she's already sold on the expansion - I'm on the fence for it though.

Hopefully done with some of the background processing power - because XBOne really doesn't need to be cutting down on it's front end processing power for bells and whistles as things stand right now.

I'd say yes for me personally - it's definitely slow paced though - have you played any of the old PC ones? Because I'd HIGHLY suggest giving T:TDP or Thief 2 a shot and see how those appeal for the minor investment involved before committing to $60 if the cost is at all a worry to you. As I...

Yea, trigger finger was getting tired - thank god I've got it on PS4 though for the PS4 controller - PS3 controller would start getting painful I'm sure...

The water protection update didn't work?!

Using stock here and not seen one pop-in issue yet.

UPS Choice ($40 program thing or $5 per package) is supposed to be guaranteed - which I did mention earlier in the thread - GJ reading comprehension indeed. But hey, maybe that's not what they mean by "confirmed" right? It's not a big deal for something like a game, but we already have it...

Yea, it was a great start to the episode that otherwise fell flat. The "deaf baby" part was awesome too though, it's literally a conversation I have to have with the mother-in-law every time there's a visit - she just does not understand volume control.

Yes all healing is potential (as I mentioned in my post already) - but being limited to a cap of 30 is far from kiting death to make sure you actually get the potential out of it versus kiting death literally to get 14 out of Alex and Jar. They're great cards for the heal they offer at times...

Indeed, it's potential and honestly most of the time you're not going to let yourself get close to 1 before you pop it because if you do almost ANYTHING can wreck you if they draw even one trick. Realistically because of wanting to use it when you're close to dying it's going to be used around...

I don't have him on ignore and he never claimed it was easy - he's stating it's an option - you keep talking about the easiest route treating it like it's the only method. And frankly, the "insight" of playing a fast deck in those tiers is completely worthless. If someone can't grasp that...

I was commenting on your "insight into getting to rank 5" - no shit grinding out games against the chaff you want to play something quick until you get to reasonably challenging tiers - slowing down as the difficulty ramps up is a given...

No one was asking how to do it fastest - of course that's the fastest route - faster decks for faster games and all...

Right I meant if you were going straight through the story, heh.

Column regularly distorts reality. (And yes, I realize there's some irony in me commenting on such during my times I was annoyed about shit)

And if anyone's doing a clan - no clue how much I'll play post-patch but I'll certainly try it some to see how much it rehooks me with the 2.0 changes - so I'd be game to join a RR based Clan thing.

Maybe I'll wait for PS4 version then for consoling it. $34 or whatever the discounted price isn't the end of the world to me, but too many games the next couple months as is. (And the MUST BUY for the price of Ni No Kuni is something I've not played)

When does is the patch planned to hit consoles out of curiosity? Been debating grabbing the PS3 copy since it's discounted but if it's gonna be a long difference between the two might not be worthwhile.

Yep pretty much the timeframe where it finally clicked with me too - I think the Griffin stuff is the next thing you do outside the city, right? Or is that after the next dungeon? First Griffin fight sealed the deal for me though. I bet you'd like it more than you did previously if you gave...

And UPS apparently sucking for me today - 55 min after the delivery window quoted and still not here. Great job Brown.

It's a niche game and it's getting niche game reviews - shouldn't be shocking. 80+ from a few, terrible from a few - mediocre for the rest - just like most niche games.

It's a Nintendo system in Japan. It's likely saying XBOne is doing ok in the US, it's a skewed territory for the system. Outlast is pretty decent albeit short for PS4 as well, Resogun was amazing, and the non-exclusives have been better - still happier with my PS4 than I could be with a...

How far in did you "force yourself"? I found that initially I was the same way, until I pushed past the first couple visits to Gran Soren. (Roughly about the time you have to chase down the Griffin)

AC4 is hard to compare to the old Thief games, I can't imagine I'd like to categorize them the same with the new one either. I know a bazillion and a half old school Thief fans (hyperbole, obviously) and out of the many of them I know I can think of only a few that also enjoyed the AC series -...

I liked Dragon's Dogma - but I'd give it a 85 or so to Dark Souls' 95 personally - it's got A TON of rough edges and occasional long slogs for no particular reason and such (even after Dark Arisen improved things - before it it was even worse, do not play it unpatched, Christ some of the slogs...

Indeed - even if you just break it down to lying vs lying (which is retarded) at the very least it would be a tie for worst, not worst alone. No sane person could give them full responsibility and say O is worse on such though.

Hah, I think it's time to slow down how much you're playing HS for a couple days Gavin. I went crazy "looking for oddities" mode when the game pissed me off I needed a break from it - you seem to just be pure rage. Take a couple days off, let three quests build up then give it a fresh go -...

Say what on their sales? You do realize how tiny Japan is if you're trying to compare day 1-2 Japan PS4 sales to day one US XBOne sales is as a market, right? During an entire lifecycle of a system they usually sell less of even the highest selling units than the average US launch because...

I've got my PS4 copy coming in via Amazon that is due within the next 2 hrs (UPS Choice stating 2pm-4pm EST) - so if you're looking for PS4 feedback, I'll be able to give some after the wife's psychiatrist appointment barring UPS screwing up. (back around 5pm EST)

You might want to read the article before responding - it's about something like how InTrade and stuff worked with betting on concepts. Your response smacks of not even reading the article because it's really not in reference to that. (Although I will acknowledge before reading the link that was...

Trophy list looks like it's going to be some work - fun, but man it's going to separate the boys from the men if it's as challenging as it should be on Master and with the option sets.

That would answer it - and yea, I knew that would be far ahead of schedule - just theorizing what the guy meant.

Maybe he's implying 2/28 closed beta being rumored?
