Daemon X Machina - Go Ahead, Mech My Day

I have small, presidential hands so I'm actually perfectly happy with the Switch's form factor. Playing with a pro controller on a TV though . . . dat's da shit.

Talking presidential whatever happened to Metal Wolf Chaos?

What was it announced for? I'll be all over that if it comes to Switch. #MechAmericaGreatAgain

Everything but Switch

I wonder how much it would actually be for a original copy on the OG Xbox. A console along with the 360 have always interested me from a Japanese point of view due to them both selling dismally but actually having a few exclusives, like is it all super expensive or super cheap.

Plus is the audience like the opposite of us and is some Japanese dude that really loves Halo, COD, GTA etc

I barely see any Xbox here man. Maybe like one shelf in a big Akihabara store. It just doesn't exist here.

Why its intriguing to me as where did it all go and like I said if so little do I have to pay top Yen or they giving it away because no one buys it.

As that's a problem with VITA here, don't see much of it and not a big audience but dam can it be expensive.

Next time I'm in a book-off or what have you, I'll take a peek and let you know. If I were a gambling man, I'd guess its all gonna be dirt cheap.

As I kinda like one of these

Yes I can't wait to play as the mech that looks like a blue transparent box either.

it’ll be out “while the weather’s still warm”.

More companies should give vague release dates like this.

So in Scotland, fucking never.

Haha, nah they'd just have to keep an eye out for that random one day a year we get.

Hmmmmm... Some bits that remind me strongly of the Xenoblades there, like the chunks of really bad voice acting and the way it doesn't match up with the lips.

The writing is miserable too: "The premature awakening has produced an annulus of annihilation". Like... what? Who speaks like that?

I don't think this will be a game renowned for masterful storytelling after seeing that trailer, although I probably could have told you that from the inane battle chatter during the demo.

Today we ask the question: 'Can a single trailer put Jas off a game?'



It's nice to see that Peter Molyneux's Curiosity has finally been put to good use. That aside, we have characters literally named 'Grief' and 'Regret'. Also, Grief is apparently humanoid Pigma Dengar.

Enough of the snark, though: how much this trailer tells us about the game itself is, to be kind, debatable, but it makes the premise look a whole lot more interesting than waffling on about annuli of annihilation.

Don't think most will be playing this game for the story but anyhow I've seen way worse weeb shit than that trailer so no it hasn't put me off.

(Also will still be waiting for reviews)

Did marvellous go to the Kojima school of character naming?

I'm with Jas, I'll be waiting for reviews as September is a busy month but if I finish Gears 5 quickly (I'm on holiday as well) then the next game isn't to Zelda but indies, backlog etc

Inside Out 2 is looking awesome.

Yeah, that trailer didn't do anything for me as I was rather disinterested in the story when I played the demo. Still waiting patiently for reviews...

I must be one of the only people who's looking forward to the story then. Honestly Mas' eShop replacement didn't interest me at all because of a nodescript art design and a lack of weeb juice, whereas this, after a pretty silly previous trailer, looked pretty good in this one and it's got me intrigued to find out more.

I think I've been comparing it in my head to the Xenoblades for all this time, so I'm expecting it to be heavily plot-driven. Especially if the gameplay isn't a substantial step up from the demo. (and I'm hoping it will be, but I'm talking colossal), I think it'll need something else to help it be good.

I think you might end up disappointed...!

So, another demo is out for this which is a smart move.

Absolutely is. Might see if they've changed the feel myself, rather than purely waiting for reviews.

Yeah pleased it's got a new demo and like Balla, I'll see if things have improved myself.

I played an hour or so of the demo late last night and yeah the story is bloody awful and what's more the random characters that join you on missions won't shut the fuck up with their annoying pointless blabber. By the second or third proper mission I was skipping everything just so I could be flying my mech about most of the time, the game does feel better to play but I can only see this being OK if you have bunch of friends to play it with all the time.

I'll probably be giving it a miss.

I'll check the demo out too, but I'm already sceptical of getting around to playing this anytime soon. It's launching in a really bad month with so many different games vying for your attention and it never looked incredible to grab that attention in the first place. Maybe the demo will change my mind, but it's not looking good.
