@corevi: you're absolutely right... there just isn't enough substance with Evolve to substantiate a $60 purchase. It's hard enough to convince people to buy a new IP but one that is so limited and multiplayer focused like Evolve is an even harder sale.

You have to have impeccable marketing and great word of mouth for something like Evolve to gain steam and it has had the exact opposite in both regards over the last few days.

I will also totally agree with you on the Destiny front. I have close to 100 hours in it and plan to jump back in pretty soon to check out some of the new content. I don't have a problem with DLC as a whole, I purchased the season pass for Destiny and feel like the new content is worth it or at least what I have seen of it so far is.

2K has just gone so overboard with the way that they are trying to DLC the game to death. As I said in the blog I was actually looking forward to giving it a fair shot because I was interested in the 1v4 mechanic with the huge monster but I'm so put off by the nickel and dime crap.

@corevi: I do have a Vita!

I haven't played it in like 6 months so I may try to find a copy of it and try it out. I was a huge fan of strategy RPG's back in the PS1 day but I think everyone was then, at least everyone loved FF Tactics.

I have always wanted to play a Disgaea game but I never had the time to invest. Even hearing about this DLC mess they made I still want to try them...

@sparky_buzzsaw:

I have secretly enjoyed this show from the beginning. I thought everyone thought it was stupid and didn't know anyone else actually liked it. Now that I know I am not alone I will shout from the rooftops that I love this absolutely ridiculously terrible show...

Doc is the greatest character in television history. I'm going to bed.

Sorry, no problem... I was on my phone and have no idea how to use the mobile version.

Happy Monday Duders - Warframe Edition 01/12/15

Thanks

@zombiepie: no problem, I appreciate it. I've always enjoyed this feature because I don't follow everyone on the site so being able to see blogs and lists I may have missed is really cool.

I wrote another Happy Monday Duders this week.

I'm hoping to keep it up each week.

@jesus_phish: Combat looks extremely similar to the original. I actually enjoyed it once you got into the chain attacks and all that... there were some cool maneuvers you could pull off.

Targeting body parts was a nice feature of the combat. You could take out the leg of a large enemy and it would take more damage after it went down, or it wouldn't be able to attack while down...

Menus looked horrible there, but as you said, it's probably a pretty early build. I have faith after how much I enjoyed the first one that this one will turn out to be a pretty good game, of course, I'll reserve full judgement until I play it but the aesthetic and scope of the world have me intrigued.

@cerberus3dog: I read somewhere after TGS that the combat is similar to what was in the first game. So, a little more "actiony" to use a word that isn't a word.

I'm not saying you should steal one... but you should totally steal one.

Nintendo has so many cool things coming out this year. I just posted about the new trailer for Xenoblade Chronicles X a couple seconds ago and it looks great.

I am so hyped for a new Fire Emblem.
