I agree with Rabbid Peach having the best scenes. It's the main thing I miss when running a different team.

I haven't used Rabbid Luigi much. When I've used him, it's usually been to get around missions with a lot of status effects.

I wish the game provided story beats that forced different team makeups or had a system that icentivised mixing the groups.

Looking at the few posts, it sounds like most people prefer Rabid Peach and Luigi in their team. I used them until Rabid Mario showed up.

Rabid Mario's AOE multi-dash is great. And, I find having 2 characters with hammers to simply stomp on shield characters.

I've also be running with Peach since she showed up. Considering my whole crew bc tend to be up-close and personal, I find her more useful than Rabid Peach. I also like that she can heal every turn.

I still use Luigi for some reach the end battles. In world 3 he got to the end in 4 turns out of 10 for a perfect.

I just got Rabid Yoshi, but based on his skills I can't see me using him for long.

@hunkulese: When I was looking online, it was T on the ESRB site.

Is it a T bordering M? I haven't played anything in the series, but I figured they were supposed to be on par with an Indiana Jones movie.

Looking at picking up a PS4 for my 4 nephews (ages 5-15) for Christmas. However, they're not going to be able to play any M rated games. I think the two older nephews would appreciate a non-Nintendo console; but how much does the the platform offer in regards to good E, E10, and T games? So, if you could list some good games with those ratings, it'd help a lot in the decision making.

Thinking of getting the Uncharted bundle, a second controller, and a few cheaper games such as LBP3, Bastion (if, I can find where to buy a digital code), Child of Light, and/or Grow Home. (Not set on any of these, if you think there are better games.) I'm trying to keep it under $400 and I think I can manage that with Black Friday deals.

They own a Wii U. So, I'm looking for games that aren't available on that platform as part of making this decision.

Additionally, and maybe this isn't a great forum to ask, but is XB1 a better second system for that age range?

I appreciate any help with making this decision.

CAH posted a new hint today.

I got both day 1 and day 2 today. Day 2 is 5 more cards.

Red Cellophane: Fun Fact: It's important to respect all faiths. Except Hindiusm. Four arms and an elephant head? Come on.

White #1: Moses gargling Jesus's balls while Shiva and the Buddha penetrate his divine hand holes.

White #2: The Hawaiian goddess Kapo and her flying detachable vagina.

White #3: The shittier, Jewish version of Christmas.

Black #1: Blessed are you, Lord our God, creator of the universe, who has granted us _________.

Black #2: Because they are forbidden from masturbating, Mormons channel their repressed sexual energy into ______________.

• Shot Danny's foot. He's a pedo. This was an easy choice.
• Stayed in the car (played RPS). I volunteered to go out, but couldn't lose in RPS. The first time when he drove off without Eddie, I thought I must have triggered something accidentally. I went back and replayed and realized there's no way to get through the Nate sequence without leaving Eddie.
• Left in the RV. I tried to convince everyone to keep the guy at camp. It seemed the safest option without killing anyone, but in the end let him go. Later, I was really hoping there would be an option to free Stephanie. This was by far the most frustrating episode, because the choices I wanted to make weren't available.
• Left Nate. I tried leaving him so many times. Honestly, once Russell has the gun and you turn it on Nate, you should be able to just get out of there.
• I told Leland the truth. I recognized her hair when she approached, so I didn't attack. I figured if the game was going to force me to "accidentally" kill her, then I might as well own up to it.
• Everyone came along at the end.

I do wish Tavia would've had a one-on-one conversation with each character. It's crazy to me that she would welcome them all in without getting any backstory. I mean, 3/5 characters could be pretty broken individuals:

• Convicted murderer who is potentially proud of it and sided with a pedo.
• Ex-junky that lies to a man after killing his wife to have a relationship with him.
• A sadist if your Russell stuck with Nate.

It just seems like the Tavia part was mostly pointless. Why even provide dialog options when they appeared to have very little impact on who would come with?

I've been running 2 assault, 2 snipers, 1 support, and 1 heavy. The snipers make short work of about anything. The assault tend to mop up. The support keeps everyone alive. And the heavy is usually useless and can't hit anything. If it wasn't for 1 time I actually found the rocket to be extremely useful in taking out 8 chrysalids in single shot (oh and that one poor civilian), I'd have dropped him for a support. But, sometimes you end up in a situation where an AOE attack makes everything easy.

I just finished the alien base. I took awhile building things up before going in because I only had 2 satellites which also meant I had a huge lack of funds. I'm playing normal and there have been very few close encounters for my squad, but I knew I need to slow down the story and play catch-up and get some satellites in the air first. It did mean that the alien base was filled with mutons and advanced mutons, and while it was tense there wasn't any real concern that someone would die. When it came time for the showdown with the sectoid, I tried to get my assault down there to bring home a live specimen. Unfortunately for him, he panicked my other assault who responded by giving him a face full of laser.

Yeah, I find the shooting + jumping to be pretty tricky on the PS3. But, I'm halfway through and have only needed to use it on a couple monsters. I'm hoping it's not something that's really required in later levels.
