I just saw that The Raven is being released on the PS3. I may have to pick that up. I'm a little weary playing a point-and-click adventure game on a console, but Foolz was pretty impressed with it if I recall (correct me if I'm wrong Foolz). I think I'm way overdue for an adventure game like that.

What is the Witch game you speak of Robio? Is that a sequel to Ni No Kuni?

Dammit boy you got a Google machine! Can't you look it up!!!

Anyway it's an action RPG (kind of) for the PS3 by NIS, makers of the fine Disgea series. It's a pretty strange looking game. The music is what got me, and the whole thing kind of gave me a Secret of Mana vibe. Here's the Japanese trailer. See if you can pull anything out of that for an impression.

What is Pillars of Eternity and why are you hot for it?

It's one of those Kickstarter funded RPGs. After I've finished Planescape: Torment I expect to get into more games of its kind, and this one looks like it should be interesting. I'm a bit more interested in Torment: Tides of Numenera, but that comes out next year.

  • DS2
  • DKCRTF
  • MK8
  • X
  • SMT4 (if it ever gets released for Europe)
  • Zelda U (if released)
  • DQ7 (if released in Europe)
  • NYI (unless it turns out crap)

Bah, you ruined my fun.  Sad  I was going to rant about how no one was getting the sequel (well, not really) to Xenoblade Chronicles.

Games I plan on buying:

  • MK8
  • MGS:R on pc
  • w101
  • X
  • maybe Luigi's mansion on 3DS
  • MH4 (whenever that is released)
  • StarCitizen (if it makes a 2014 release)
  • Rayman Legends (when it hits €20 on WiiU)
  • ...

Cool thanks for the link...I'm lazy.

It kinda reminds me of Little King's Story with the viewpoint, graphic style and general pace of the gameplay. Neat.

Isometric crowfunded cRPG developed by Obsidian and with a golden-age RPG era team involved including Josh Sawyer (NWN2) as director and Chris Avellone (Planescape: Torment).

Probably because South Park hasn't been funny since the game was announced, which I believe was 1999.

That implies it was funny before that

You don't deserve Witcher 3. Hater.

I plan on getting a PS4 around March or April.

I also want the Witcher 3, inFAMOUS Second Son, DKCR:Tropical Freeze, Cyberpunk 2077, X, Super Smash Bros., Bayonetta 2, and probably something that either isn't announced yet or isn't on my radar yet.

  • SMB Mix-Up! (1AB2-0000-0047-5A7D)

I wouldn't dismiss those first two seasons of South Park. It's easy to see it as just another vulgar crudely animated cartoon these days (which it probably is), but when it first came out it was a completely original idea and was really good at pushing the envelope. And back then there was more focus on just bizarre strange humor, without attempts of political or social commentary, which was really for the better I think.

There was definitely still political and social commentary in the first two seasons...

Yes, but if you're weary of point-and-click adventure games it won't do anything for you. The only thing it has going for it that is un-adventury is that it's incredibly easy.

Incredibly easy? Hmmmm that doesn't sound good. Hell I'll still give it a shot though. I'm always up for a good adventure game. Not sure why I don't play more of them. Once upon a time it was the only kind of PC game I'd ever play.

They don't make hard adventure games anymore I'm afraid. Sad Most of the puzzles are still pretty fun to figure out, though. But the main thing is that it's a really good Agatha Christie/'50s/'60s cinema pastiche in terms of tone. And Zellner>gay dude for progressive character in video games of 2013.

Yeah I read that. I'll probably end up liking it more then you though going from video reviews I've watched and my time spent with the demo.
