If it were on a PC it would probably be a fun game.

Bought a Vita with Lumines and Rayman Origin. Chad you'd like both of these a lot probably.

Getting SFxT and Mass Effect 3 on Tuesday. Oy!

Dude Rayman Origins is amazing. It looks soooo good on the Vita screen. Game's on all other consoles too, you guys should check it out.

Anyone playing Tales of Graces f? It's a bishushonen port of Yuri Kobuto's saga released only on JP Dreamcast. Plus there's a new battle system feature called Axel Mode which is how you pull off extreme combos and Lv4 Blast Caliburs.

In all honesty, I will probably eventually play it. I played Tales of Vesperia for 360 a few years back and that was pretty good. I played the original Tales of Destiny for PS1 and that was fun back in the day. The battle system was always pretty fun. I just like grinding characters and fun battle systems. I'll get to it one of these days, maybe over the summer. Gotta tackle Mass Effect 3 first. Gotta go fast.

Wow that article is trollbait trash lol. A bunch of repeated DLC purchases accounted for a bunch of physical products that all give access to the same thing. Might as well just count your Xbox or PC as part of DLC since you need it to play the game!

Regardless, Mass Effect is actually a pretty awesome series in my opinion. If you're looking for something to play though you should honestly play Rayman Origins.

I might just do that (Rayman.)

The bonuses stack, so the article isn't too far off. Either way EA is hardcore whoring them out. I don't think counting your console as DLC makes a lot of sense.

I'm exaggerating because the article is exaggerating. All of those little bonuses are cosmetic little collector items. I'm just saying it's kind of sensationalist to list a bunch of $100 things that have the same or slightly different cool extra gun mod or something (notice how most of it just unlocks some assault rifle weapon). Only OCD people who have to have everything will get that stuff, and it pretty much has no bearing on the actual game aside from a $10 extra storyline DLC. If someone is REALLY boners for the game and wants to pay for an extra 3-6 hours, who cares? You're not FORCED to it and it's just some side story usually anyways. I'm not saying it's not kind of dumb that it's already on the disc and you're paying to unlock it, but I also understand development cycles and if people have been eating up DLC in the past I can see why companies are going to do it if people buy into it. Don't like it necessarily, but all the whining people have been doing over it lately is dumb and overblown.

And yeah Rayman is great. No co-op on the Vita one, but apparently Co-op is super fun.

It's a big step in the wrong direction. If you give a greedy company an inch, they'll always take a mile.

DLC fucking sucks because it gives companies an excuse to rush shit out with the notion that "lolol we can just patch it later in DLC!"

I expect that stuff from PC games but console games should be pristine little mofos once they hit the shelves like it was 5+ years ago.

I'm replaying Geometry Wars 2.

Someone on my Xbox friends list gloated about beating one of my scores, so I took him down by stomping his score. Now, he has a personal vendetta against me and is trying to beat all my scores. I told him it's possible to beat my scores, but I'll really tip my hat off to him if he beats my Pacifist score. That's my pride & joy.
