Wasn't the Xbone already $350 last Christmas with the AC bundle? I don't see it being a factor, since Sony will likely do a price drop bundle come holidays too.
The new load times are a big improvement, as are the little item description instead of the white on black Bloodborne logo burning into my plasma screen. Actually tore me away from Borderlands: HC this afternoon, seems like alot of people playing coop. Made some pretty good progress, think I'm pretty close to the end.
Pokemon and Ace Attorney. I WILL buy every Nintendo handheld as long as those games are on it. The rest of the library being amazing is just delicious giblet flavored snes-esque rpg gravy. Exclusive Souls games would be another. If Xbone got one, I would very probably buy one just for it. I bought my PS4 after the Project Beast trailer came out around DS2's release (and Gamestop had them back in stock.) I haven't bought a home Nintendo console with my own money ever (NES and N64 were gifts.) I only bought a 360 because of Tales of Vesperia, so I guess Tale's games can go on my list.
I would say the original mario is way, way harder than the Souls games. In Souls games you pretty much have infinite continues, by the very nature of the continue system games are much much easier than they used to be. Dodging 4 or 5 attacks with infinite continues is way easier than dodging 4 or 5 attacks with 3 lives.
Could you imagine that? Dark Souls with limited continues? Something like humanity was your literal life count and it went down by 1 each time? And invaders literally killed you and took a life? I don't think the world is ready, but I think thats a place I would like to visit. You'd have to have open voice chat to hear the screams and crying.
It is interesting regarding that most Japanese do not understand English even though it is a mandatory course in schools. However, I am told many years ago that the way they learned English is quite bad.
English is basically like Spanish to them in how its taught in schools. I think I've had like 5 years of Spanish and I still can't really speak it. I do have some optimism though with groups like Level 5, Atlas, and From putting out games that seem to be getting good sales worldwide.
