I'm going to go back to the demo once I get done with Pikmin 3. At the rate I'm going with it, I should have it finished by tomorrow if I don't go for all of the fruit and secret memos.

I thought you sucked at it? lol

Well I'm playing it very slowly. I've put in over 14 hours (not counting time given up by starting over), I'm on Day 40, and I'm just now getting to the final level - Formidable Oak. So yeah, playing it at a snail's pace here considering most people have it beaten by hour 12.

Well I'm at 17 hours and not even as far as you. I like taking my time with a game like this.

I just checked out the wonderful 101 demo...you're right this game is tough. Pretty cool though, I like it. Lots of fast action in typical Platinum form, and it looks great.

You didn't see? There's a lion enclosure inside the MGM Grand, they had about 6 lions when I saw it. The Luxor is funny, all the staff dressed up as Egyptians. I can't remember the name, there was this Aladdin type hotel, inside it had this optical illusion where the ceiling looked like a starry night.

That would  be the Excalibur

The hotels are huge, they need maps.

Okay, completed the W101 demo 4 times now, once you get it down this is some satisfying combat. You have to remember to use the block move with big characters to make them recoil and leave them open. Also you need to get this double combo thing down. Instead of making a construct and pressing A you press Y and the move attacks automatically, then with the rest of your team you initiate another move. Also, get used to making a construct then dashing out of it then back into construct. It's easier than it sounds: A - X - A as applicable. Seems like a pretty great game, unique and fun, pretty addictive too

Hmmm... Looking at what was the Wii U launch line-up and what will be the PS4 launch line-up...

...history going to repeat itself?

There's actually --LESS-- games scheduled for PS4's launch window than there was for Wii U!

^ I'd be happy to buy a PS4 at launch, but there isn't even one game I'd buy for it yet. Vita has more titles I'm interested in. I'll wait to buy a PS4 when Tomb Raider 2 is released.

It's not tough, just initiate the sword for many enemies. For big enemies use block (ZL) then unite hand them to death.

The only really bad bit about W101 is that IMO it's nearly impossible to play offscreen as it wants you to use the right stick to draw shapes. Only it's not like Okami where the screen freezes and you can takes ages to do it. It's near impossible to draw a circle with the right stick without failing and getting mashed up.

MOTHER FUCKER ! ! ! !

I --JUST-- sat down on the floor to play my first bit of Pikmin in a while... Set up the GamePad with the stand, plotted my course to get some fruit and try to find Charlie... just got comfortable, when out of the corner of my eye I see something --BIG-- and brown and weird coming at me at a speed too quick to be anything normal... It was one of these things:

WHAT THE FUCK IS UP WITH LONG ISLAND AND HUGE, FUCKING DISGUSTING BUGS ? ! ?

I find it Cosmically Ironic I was playing Pikmin at the time...

**Mutha Fucka getting Karmic Revenge!**

TRAUMATIZED!!

Argh!

I don't think I remember any other time in my life where I've gotten so many well-done, completely playable, totally enjoyable games one right after the other:

BioShock Infinite. Terraria. Fire Emblem. Etrian Odyssey. Animal Crossing. The Last of Us. Pikmin 3. Shin Megami IV. Dragon's Crown.

I've never had this many games worth owning and playing all at the same time! So satisfying!
