What the hell is happening with social games companies?

I keep wanted to say F' it and finish P3P (I'm two days before the game ends), but I keep working on the bonus content at the end of the game, slowly though. My goal is to finish it before P4Golden comes out in October.

I turned Screen Space Ambient Occlusion to Normal instead of High and that fixed it. Looks a lot better.

Just started playing the PC version and all the characters have a glowing aura around them. Also depending on how far an object or person is they have what look like old school scanlines on them. Am I insane or is that an artistic choice for the game? I never noticed it in any videos. If it does exist, is there anyway to turn it off?

In GW1 your got your best armor very easily, but perfect weapons were harder to come by. How's the item progression in GW2?

It's very easy to get max gear once you're level 80, in fact when you play instanced pvp you're given max level gear within minutes of creating a character. BUT the easy to get armor and weapons look terrible visually. The progression in GW2 at max level is more about Aesthetics, think Hats in Team Fortress 2 that you need to find or make yourself.

I know it's more true-mmo now, but dungeons are still instanced. Any sense of how much time will still be spent in instanced dungeons?

I think there are 5 or 6 actual instanced dungeons, but there are also personal story quests which are all instanced but not on such a grand scale as a dungeon. There are quite a few of these throughout the game.

I will add that the personal instances down scale you level and stat wise to their level so even if you're 80 a level 5 story quest can still potentially be challenging. You can bring up to 4 people with you to help, but the instance scales in difficulty depending on the number of player as well.

Stoic Laser Professor, which I feel works because I main as Charlie.

They got everyone buy Chie and Teddie's VA's for the game.

They couldn't get Fuuka, either.

Personally I recommend P3P, not being able to control party members in the console versions is a deal breaker for me. I also like having the abilities to put the PSP/Vita to sleep and picking it up again when I have time, not having to find my way to a save point. I very much played all 96 hours of that game in 15 minute chunks multiple times a day.

Any non-mario game I play pre-N64/PS1 era gives me very strong nostalgia. The mario games don't because I've played them so much well past their original periods. I have mild nostalgia for anything in the mild generations.
