Yeah, of those the only one I didn't realise was that Reptile originally had the Yellow and Blue powers. I didn't play much of the first game (and was shite at it so good luck encountering Reptile). In MK2 they actually decided to give him his own powers and he was awesome.

Seems like it'll be three characters in one: Smoke, Sektor, and Cyrax.

I'm okay with the rest, but Leatherface just doesn't have traction with me. I would have much rather have had Rain, Baraka, or Sindel. Or Pinhead. Or Chuckie. Or Noob Saibot or that hot babe who cameos in that one chapter, Sareena.

Of course, I would have said that Jason was a bad fit, but a well-played Jason is very credibly mauling his opponents so it works out, I guess.
He jumps like a damned dragoon, and charges into battle fighting rather insane monsters with little more than his bare hands and rather nasty spell effects conjured up solely through knowledge and the local plantlife. He unerringly knows where his goal lies, he breathes underwater and is untroubled by space travel, seems to have no limits to his actual endurance and favors killing his enemies by driving both boots square into their skull. His agility is unmatched, and his strength legendary, able to fling about a turtle shell big enough to contain a man with enough force to barrel down a near endless path of unfortunates.

Konami lawyers didn't allow Hideo Kojima to recieve an award for MGSV. I don't know what exactly Konami is thinking, but this is just so petty and bizarre.

I would have rather they added Barney the God-damned Dinosaur over Leatherface. "Psycho brainderp inbred hillbilly cannibal" will never be interesting to me in any way. At least a fucker in a purple dinosaur costume in Mortal Kombat would have been amusing.

But then my most current gaming console is a 3DS, so I'm not really part of the target audience for this game (ie, "people with money")

I think Leather face was included because Ed Boon likes Horror characters and the actor that played him died recently.

With each kombat pack the game look closer the Terrordrome each time.

I can respect that, I suppose. I mean, to me, Leatherface isn't a horror character, more a sad joke, but then I like me my actual supernatural monsters.

I didn't know the actor passed away.

Well, allright. Not like it I wasn't gonna buy the pack anyway.

I just found and played through Rebel Galaxy.
With a bit of cheatery, it took me 7 to 8 hours.
It reminded me of Schleichfahrt/Aquanox (Archimedian Dynasty) but in space and so i bought it on steam for 14 bucks.
Give it a look see maybe.

Peculiar properties of spacetime ensure that the perception of the magnitude of Soon is fluid and dependent, not on an individual's time-reference, but on spatial and cultural location. A marketer generally perceives Soon as a finite, known, yet unspeakable time-interval; to a fan, the interval appears greater, and may in fact approach the infinite, becoming Never. Once the interval has passed, however, a certain time-lensing effect seems to occur, and the time-interval becomes vanishingly small. We therefore see the strange result that the same fragment of spacetime may be observed, in quick succession, as Soon, Never, and All Too Quickly.

Question about Xenoblade Chronicles X: Does it have character customization, and if so, how extensive? I need to know because that will influence my decision to get it.

When you level up a xenoblade x class to max you can use its exclusive weapons for other classes so combat customization opens up.

Skel customization is totally separate, your cool down attacks are different pieces of gear equipped to different hard points, character class matters little in that regard.

Also remember you can switch who you are controlling by setting them as party leader

Xenoblade X is officially the greatest game ever, because it makes a Dragon Quest reference. There is now nothing that can make this game not awesome.

Most Dragon Quest games make many Dragon Quest references, so by that metric wouldn't a Dragon Quest title be the best game ever?

That's assumed. Any reasonable person would've clearly understood that I meant "best game [that ain't Dragon Quest] ever". You need to learn to read between the lines.

(warning: I was originally going to write all of this up from scratch but got lazy and copied most of this from a post I made on a different site so it might be a bit clunky. And I think I complained about this earlier a few months ago, but I was hoping that Nintendo would lay off the drugs and realize how bad an idea my biggest complaint was. But this is Nintendo we're talking about, so they never lay off the drugs.)

So I ended up getting Triforce Heroes for Christmas but just got around to playing it on Monday. The game is overall pretty fun, but I can’t really love it because the game feels like everything other than 3-player was an afterthought. The thing that really gets me is that there’s no 2-player even though the game already has a system for having a “dummy” character (which is how the 1p fucking works in the first place.) Which really sucks because I have exactly 1 friend who has a 3DS and might like this game so really it means multiplayer is forever beyond my reach. But the 1-player gets kinda sloppy at times too. For example: you can’t even dress up the two Doppel Dolls even though playing Zelda with 3 characters and dress-up were literally the two selling points of the game.

As it is I like it, but I can't love it. Too much wasted potential. (Honestly just about every Zelda title since Wind Waker has been wasted potential, and the fact that I like this one actually puts it a step above most of the others. I don't know whether I should be happy or sad about that.) If they made a sequel to this game that felt like it cared about 1P and 2P modes (hell, if it even had a 2P mode at all) then I would sing its praises through a microphone.

At least we have Link wearing Zelda’s dress. That should be a costume in the next Smash Bros. game, and the next Hyrule Warriors, and everything ever that has both Link and alternate costumes.

So occulus rift's price was announced: 599 dollars if you're a patriot, 699 euro if you're euro-trash.

I believe that's pretty much dead on arrival. Early adopters will buy it, but pretty much everybody else will go "screw that noise", in particular when there aren't even that many games that'll be programmed to take advantage of occulus.
