    That Mordor trailer is pretty boss but if they're gonna say stuff like "there are no generic canned enemies in this dynamic living world" you know the pr for this game is gonna be some hot bullshit.

    I did play some spelunky last night for the first time and what I learned is I'm really bad at it

    but it was fun

    I wish that someway, somehow, that I could save every one of us

    Adding a sword instantly makes the combat a lot less satisfying to me

    It's not as immediate and dare I use the word 'visceral' as punchin' dudes and just makes me go "well shouldn't one hit be enough"

    That cat looks cross between Gizmo and an Ewok. It's not nice showing me something so cute that I can never have due to my wanting to still be alive.

    Ewok cat, you say?


    God damn you. This is like teasing someone who has a peanut allergy by walking in front of them eating a PB&J and marveling about how great it is.

    I've heard you can gradually build an immunity to pet allergies. Obviously I don't know your situation or history, but it's something to think about, I suppose!

    Unfortunately that won't work for me. If I am around cats for more than a few minutes I cease to be able to breath. To go over to my brother's house I have to take a lot of medicine and even then I can only be there for a few hours before I start having trouble.

    Depends on how you interpret that sentence

    If they have a base of goblin parts you could totally have the game generate enemies from them so none are exactly the same

    Add a name generator

    Boom

    But you're fighting orcs, I can buy them being relatively sword resistant.

    Also yeah, I hope that game blatantly steals everything good from assassin's creed and batman, because why not

    I can already see into its kinda copout future where it's very specific enemies and you will have very specific choices in how you deal with them like burning that guy's face

    There will maybe be 1 or 2 different things you could do with that guy

    It also requires enemies that try to escape, and unless they want to make combat even less satisfying, not very many enemies are going to try to run away

    The only time sword fighting should be one hit kill is with lightsabers. It takes a good amount or a lucky hit to kill someone with a real sword, especially if they have any armor.

    Yeah, but... you hit me with a sword, I'm probably not going to get back up regardless of if you kill me.

    It's nice that people who are holding off on or just plain not getting the new consoles will be able to play it but I'd also just like them to be able to really go for it and not have to scale back to fit it on 360 and PS3

    They're not clear with it, but I am sure the "Nemesis" system is specifically referring to the named Orcs and how they interact with the different areas. That's why he says stuff like "Ratbag and Olthrug are some of the enemies you will encounter via the Nemesis system."

    Fuck yeah, that Colony Six climax

    Fuck yeah, Sharla blasting Mechon apart

    Fuck yeah, Shulk and Reyn being best bros and not letting the old man die

    Fuck yeah, everything about Xord, from his voice, to his animations, to the subtle clues he was dropping about the Mechons with faces

    Fuck yeah, getting a Jem and the Hologram achievement.

    In short, fuck yeah, Xenoblade is awesome.

    Though I find it weird how Sharla pronounces Reyn wrong. But I can write that off as her Colony Six accent.
    oh shit there's more!

    Dunban! Though he's saying Reyn like Sharla. Maybe they couldn't pick a pronunciation in time for all the voice acting to be done? Or maybe I am hallucinating how Shulk and Reyn say it. That makes all the various Rain puns weaker though.

    And Metal Face is totally that guy from the prologue. And Zeus is in a tree? And I'm pretty sure Riku from Kingdom Hearts just saved me by sicking a dragon on those dudes.

    Well, Shulk just said it that way too, how did I not notice for the first 7 hours or so?

    Get ready for the second best day/night cycle in the game
    Wait, second best? If you're talking about what I think you're talking about, what's the best?

    After this I hope we get Assassin's Creed on Coruscant, Assassin's Creed in Hogwarts, and Assassin's Creed vs. Aliens vs. Predator (the twist is that the Predators founded the Assassin's.)
