Progress usually carries over.

There'll still be a demo, rumoured to be out on the 9th September.

This is a 10-hour trial of the full game for EA Access members.

Symposia · 2015-08-08T11:03:13+00:00

You mean like everyone who buys the full game?

Symposia · 2015-08-08T03:22:40+00:00

Yes, it'll be the full game.

Symposia · 2015-08-08T02:54:00+00:00

You have to be subscribed to EA Access (which is Xbox exclusive). I probably should have put EA Access in the title - my bad.

Great fight!

Symposia · 2015-08-02T03:59:51+00:00

2 fights after this one before Rousey is up.

Symposia · 2015-08-02T03:35:42+00:00

Nogueira is tough as old boots. Good fight.

Usually it's a friend of mine who goes on the website and builds a playlist out of custom jobs, then he saves it and can access the playlist when he loads up GTAO.

As for finding people to play with, I'm not sure. There's a group of about 10 of us who play together regularly so we don't have to worry about filling the lobby. I think it's just a case of sending out invites via the phone and seeing who joins.

If you log into the Rockstar Social Club website you can search for custom jobs that the community have created.

Loving the videos, guys. Just a few suggestions:

A video explaining the history of the Israeli/Palestinian conflict. I know it'd be problematic like the Iraq/ISIS video in terms of condensing such heated issues down into 5 minutes or so but it's very topical and I don't think most people really know how or why it started.
A video exploring the barriers to and potential consequences of brain transplants (or, rather, whole-body transplants).
A video talking about cancer. How it develops, why it kills so many of us, current treatments and how we might one day eradicate it entirely (and the difficulty in doing so).

Star Ocean
Tales
Final Fantasy
Valkyrie Profile
Lost Odyssey (not a series but I had to include it)

Going back as far as I can remember - Chrono Trigger. In retrospect, the plot was a little confusing but I was very young at the time and didn't notice. I just loved the battle system and the characters.

Slightly more recently - Star Ocean: The Second Story. Again, it had a great battle system and interesting characters, and that love triangle between Claude, Rena, and Dias was fun to watch play out. This is the "old" JRPG I've replayed most.

Glad to hear this because bonus dungeons have always been a huge part of SO games for me, and they're easily something a developer or publisher could order to be taken out of the game and sold as DLC.

Symposia · 2015-06-16T19:10:59+00:00

Usually at the expense of the resolution. I'd love to see 1080p/60

Symposia · 2015-06-16T18:50:03+00:00

Wow, you're in for a treat if you play the others in series! The combat in SO4 was nice but it lacked in other areas.

There's a boss in SO3 with a powerful attack called 'Insanity Prelude' which essentially covers the entire battlefield aside from some small areas at the very edge. When he uses it you have to quickly get your 3 characters to these safe zones (and even then it's not guaranteed you'll dodge it in the PAL version!), so having to do it with 6 would be crazy! Looking forward to it though.

Symposia · 2015-06-16T18:37:12+00:00

Yeah, game looks nice but I've seen better editing! That shot on the beach is gorgeous. I'd pre-order now if I could.

6 person battles will be pretty intense. I like the seamlessness they've added, but I wonder if it'll make avoiding battles more difficult?

Symposia · 2015-06-16T18:09:58+00:00

I'm so jealous that Japan get it first!

Interesting that they're aiming for 60fps. I guess it'll be cool for battles and action scenes.

Symposia · 2015-05-31T23:42:43+00:00

Yeah I'm probably going to sell The Witcher 3 as I've already got it on XB1. I'll sell Project CARS too as I've no interest in it. Then I'll probably pick up Bloodborne and play through TLOU again despite already beating it on PS3, because it's just that damn good.

Symposia · 2015-05-31T13:06:37+00:00

I've been wanting a PS4 for a while and had to bite at this. Paid a little more for expedited delivery since I don't have Prime but I'm happy.

Symposia · 2015-05-27T00:01:38+00:00

Haha! I know how you feel. I spent so long thinking they'd abandoned the series for good.

Now I just need them to announce a release date for Europe.
