I am starting to love FFXIII-2, time traveling is so awesome! Its FF crazy time jumping adventure, its totally nuts. I wish Square had a franchise all about time travel... oh well.

Watched what seemed to be a half hour cut-scene at what I THOUGHT was the END of Tales of Xillia... I had beaten who I assumed to be the Final Boss... This was the Boss who was responsible for killing who I thought was the original Final Boss... but the game continued on! I looked at the FAQ to see how many areas I had left, thinking I was playing some kind of interactive Epilogue... Turns out I was only at the End of the Third of Four Chapters of the game! DAMN!
Glad to hear you're enjoying Tales of Xillia Leo, I loved it as well and can't wait for the sequel. Tales of Vesperia is still my favourite closely followed by Xillia.
Rebellion: Xbox One's eSRAM culprit behind sub-1080p; will catch up to PS4
Rebellion develops the Sniper games.
Bolcato stated that, “It was clearly a bit more complicated to extract the maximum power from the Xbox One when you’re trying to do that. I think eSRAM is easy to use. The only problem is…Part of the problem is that it’s just a little bit too small to output 1080p within that size. It’s such a small size within there that we can’t do everything in 1080p with that little buffer of super-fast RAM.
“It means you have to do it in chunks or using tricks, tiling it and so on. It’s a bit like the reverse of the PS3. PS3 was harder to program for than the Xbox 360. Now it seems like everything has reversed but it doesn’t mean it’s far less powerful – it’s just a pain in the ass to start with. We are on fine ground now but the first few months were hell.”
Will the process become easier over time as understanding of the hardware improves? “Definitely, yeah. They are releasing a new SDK that’s much faster and we will be comfortably running at 1080p on Xbox One. We were worried six months ago and we are not anymore, it’s got better and they are quite comparable machines. The Xbox One is a bit more multimedia, a bit more hub-centric so its a bit more complex. There’s stuff you can and can’t do because it’s a sort of multimedia hub. PS4 doesn’t have that. PS4 is just a games machine.”
The PS4 is thus more of a gaming machine in its core focus. “Yeah, I mean that’s probably why, well at least on paper, it’s a bit more powerful. But I think the Xbox One is gonna catch up. But definitely there’s this eSRAM. PS4 has 8GB and it’s almost as fast as eSRAM [bandwidth wise] but at the same time you can go a little bit further with it, because you don’t have this slower memory. That’s also why you don’t have that many games running in 1080p, because you have to make it smaller, for what you can fit into the eSRAM with the Xbox One.”
I've been playing the challenge mode in NSMB U, and I must say, I'm having more fun with these than I do playing the main game. Please do more of these challenge modes in your games, Nintendo! I really wish SM3D World had some; such a missed opportunity.

Memo to self: Must check out challenge mode. I remember loving the challenge scenarios in Pikmin 2 so I'm quite eager to try this. I didn't even notice there was such a thing when I played the standard story mode
Here's my videogame tale of the day: I went out for brunch at a little restaurant in the West Village today. Got the Smoked Salmon Eggs Benedict, some awesome Housemade Berkshire pork sausage, and a great Bloody Mary with pickle chips and green olives in it. Yum! ...but that has nothing to do with gaming. I actually haven't gone anywhere significant since I hurt my shoulder last week. Problem with that is, there's a pretty important feature in the Bravely Default demo where Street Passes earn you citizens for the Village you are restoring in the game. The more people you have, the shorter time tasks take to complete so you can reap their benefits. You upgrade stores, you clear sections of forests and roads, tasks like that. 1 person can take 4 hours **real time!** to get a job done; assign 4 or five and it can take only minutes. Up until today, I only had the one or two dudes they assign you by default working in my village. Some of the later bosses in the demo are made --MUCH-- easier IF you have upgraded stores where you can shop. Not leaving the house = Not getting any Street Passes. I took my 3DS with me on the train, hoping to get some Passes there, but was sad to see I only got one. [Had no problem whipping out my Pink 3DS XL on the train, btw, in case you were wondering!]
Brunch came and went. Then my friend and I went for a walk around the area. We, of course, made our way to and through Washington Square park. At that point, I still only had the one Pass from the train trip...
...AND THEN IT HAPPENED!
...I HIT THE MOTHER-LOAD!
...JAPANESE TRANSFER STUDENT TOUR THROUGH THE PARK AND TO THE ADJOINING NYU CAMPUS BUILDINGS!! WOO!!!
I made sure I casually walked my way through the group of about 30 or 40 high school and/or college aged students just for good measure. IF Street Passing actually made a noise, I'm sure I would have heard something like PING! PING! PING! PING! as I walked through the throng...
...long story short, I now own 10 of their little, digital souls and they are currently toiling away, building roads, breaking rocks and setting up shops in my Village, as I type this! I have now kicked the ASSES of the Minotaur, the Adamantite Turtle and the Succubus **all twice for good measure!** and am currently hunting the Dragon in the Oasis. He kicked my ass once, but now with all my tiny, Nippon servants to do my bidding, it's only a matter of time before I have access to a whole slew of new equipment and weapons, and the dragon is no more!
Do you mean Old Boy RPG or an RPG that I'd like?
Why not combine the two and build up some marketing controversy?
Sounds pedo.
One starring old people. Welcome back, btw.
I am starting to love FFXIII-2, time traveling is so awesome! Its FF crazy time jumping adventure, its totally nuts. I wish Square had a franchise all about time travel... oh well.
*ahem!*
What about The Wind Waker?
Watched what seemed to be a half hour cut-scene at what I THOUGHT was the END of Tales of Xillia... I had beaten who I assumed to be the Final Boss... This was the Boss who was responsible for killing who I thought was the original Final Boss... but the game continued on! I looked at the FAQ to see how many areas I had left, thinking I was playing some kind of interactive Epilogue... Turns out I was only at the End of the Third of Four Chapters of the game! DAMN!
HEEEEY!? I just noticed this...!
...and what's wrong with be a poseur exactly...
Glad to hear you're enjoying Tales of Xillia Leo, I loved it as well and can't wait for the sequel. Tales of Vesperia is still my favourite closely followed by Xillia.

Listen to Wu-Tang and watch Kung-Fu
Challenge scenarios in Pikmin 3 were the best part of the game. That reminds me I need to go get the DLC for that. I need to play that pizza level.
Great Scott! I just arrived at the giant open plains of FFXIII-2, I must destroy the giant dragon then go back to the future!
Every game should have time travel.
