GAMER LOUNGE 20XX (NO CASUALS!!)

[Kosheh]

To my friend who loves Fire Emblem: Code Name S.T.E.A.M.

I told him it's made by the same team and is a turn based strategy game.

"It's basically Valkyria Chronicles with XCOM's overwatch ability...If you liked either game, you'll probably love Codename Steam. Okay it's more like Fire Emblem if it was an FPS. Plus it's got these ridiculous characters based on 19th century American literature. It's something completely different from Fire Emblem though but that's not entirely a bad thing. Plus you can unlock Fire Emblem characters using amiibo, for a completely different way to play that pretty much apes the permadeath from FE"

To my friend who loves action games: The Wonderful 101

I told him its an insanely action packed game made by the same guy who did Viewtiful Joe!

I showed them footage and talked about them... they kinda shrugged. I think the reason is simple. They're new and different. People don't want to bother trying new and different things, and if they do, they don't even give them much of a chance.

"Alright it's a game by the creator by Bayonetta and you control a bunch of superheroes to stop alien invaders, and your characters turn into the weapons or tools that they need to complete each stage. It's basically if Okami and Bayonetta had a baby. Oh yeah, and like other Platinum Games titles the boss battles and absolutely INSANE. I think there's a demo up on for it on the eShop, actually."
