    I've become a regular at this noodle place, the little old lady just starts dishin the pad thai when I show up

    Usually anyway one time she insisted I have some sort of curry thing that was alright

    Just a heads up if you are an Amazon Prime member, a bunch of upcoming games for preorder are being marked at 20% off at checkout. A good way to lock in that price guarantee. I just preordered Doom for PS4.

    Yeah, I just got FFVII Remake locked down for $47.99

    Becoming a regular at a food place has never bugged me, I mean, everyone's gotta eat right?

    But a few days ago I went to the lego store after not having been their for a year and the lady working the register recognized me as "that guy with the lego mech book" and I was unnerved.

    I hope you got a receipt to show off years from now like that duke nukem forever preorder guy

    It's episodic and it's on Unreal Engine

    I'm willing to bet the first ep is out in 2017

    I have zero faith in squenix's ability to produce anything within any length of time

    Is it weird that I don't think of that as a particularly great deal? Then again, I buy PC games from CD key resellers.

    I mean

    They make games

    That new FF game for 3DS hits here in like two weeks

    I think that proves they can produce things within any length of time

    which is not a traditional FF game, those are the games square struggles to actually produce in a timely manner

    Aside from FF12 and FF15, S-E have been consistently good at putting out games, and better than most at localizing them for Europe.

    Well okay but

    1) That's not what he said, and

    2) That's because they're usually fucking around with their dumb proprietary engines most of the time

  • WeedLordVegetaWeedLordVegeta Registered User regular
    yeah I wasn't speaking for him, just pointing out that there is definitely a distinction to be made

    you're right that engine problems might have something to do it

    but then I look at something like a realm reborn

    and maybe it has more to do with who's directing these projects?

    yoshi-p righted that ship with a QUICKNESS when by all accounts that game should have been tossed off the back of the wagon, and it's because that dude had a vision, and had the focus to make it happen

    I'll bet on Square getting part 1 of the FF7 remake out in 2017, being the 20th anniversary and all.

    I would also bet on that specific target being a top 3 reason why they went episodic in the first place.

    Molten variables hiss and roar. On my mind-forge, I hammer them into the greatsword Epistemology. Many are my foes this night.

    I think I'm actually more excited about Dragon Quest XI coming here than FFVII Remake, which almost seems like a certainty now

    FFVII Remake it's more of a case of "cool, I know it exists, give it to me when I can play it"

    But I really want DQXI as soon as possible

    There's a DQ 30th anniversary livestream tonight starting at midnight, hoping they'll show more gameplay footage

  • CenoCeno pizza time Registered User regular
    They don't have Persona 5 listed on Amazon yet. I have a sad.

    Being a regular at a food place and being a regular at a fast food place are two totally different concepts

    I'm a little surprised they're including Red and Blue and both sets of covers in one bundle.

    Europe is getting 2DSes instead.

    FFXIII took 4 years from announcement (before 12 came out!) to release.

    However, 15 was announced on the same day. We're getting up on 10 years now.

    Whenever there's an option, always go console

    I live next to a mcdonald's

    the only thing stopping me from eating there daily is the fear of employees recognizing me as a regular

    I ate at the local subway (only fast food near my job) so much that I came in one day, and the employee who would have taken my order corrected guessed my order. Then one of the other employees came out and incorrectly guessed what I ordered, and the first employee went "Nope, he ordered that yesterday."

    I quit eating there for a long while.

    Some of the people at Freddy's Steakburgers recognize me as a regular.

    It actually worked out pretty well for me once, 'cuz one of those people was in some sort of a managerial position; so when I decided to get one of their ice cream cakes for my birthday, she gave me 20% off and decorated it on the spot for me.

    They started to recognize me at an In-and-Out last year. They give me free fries sometimes!

    I used to have dozens of regulars when I worked as a retail butcher

    It's very important to remember as many people as you can because it makes transactions go smoother and you can also tailor your salesmanship to the individual

    If I know this lady is a penny pincher I will make a cursory effort to pitch something high end and expensive before making a proper pitch on something almost as good that's on sale

    I am terribly addicted to their fry sauce.

    Also, the ice cream cake was pretty good! Like, a lot better than the two I've had from Cold Stone.

    I've never heard of Freddy's, not sure they're out here

    "Steakburger" is a term that cuts to the very core of me in the best way possible

    I don't know why - because XCOM was handily my GOTY back in 2012 - but all the stuff I've seen about XCOM 2 just isn't clicking for me. It feels like they've overstuffed it? Or overcomplicated it? I don't know how to explain.

  • UnbreakableVowUnbreakableVow Registered User regular
    That's out soon, right

    Hopefully a console port happens
