[Multiplatform] What's out in August?

Just to throw it out there -- the release date for any game is always one day before it hits stores. Technically, the game IS released, but shipping it to the stores takes a day, so yeah.

I'm really looking for to N3: Ninety Nine Nights, FF7: Dirge of Cerberus, and Xenosaga 3 this month. I've been fascinated with N3 since it's debut at E3 2005. Dirge is gonna be a must-have, as I enjoyed the movie and FF7, and Xenosaga 3 so I can finally close the book on this trilogy of games.

And rightfully so, as they didn't play the NA version. They've made a lot of changes to the core gameplay for the NA release, and dare I say it's building up to be a nearly different game overall.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Then again, after I heard about how shitty the import was, I didn't bother keeping up with the changes they have made to the NA version. Care to elaborate?

The target system has been completely overhauled, which was the primary problem. No longer do you have to switch to first person to fire. The camera now does a RE4 movement for aiming. A double jump was added as well. So now, essentially, the game combines the best elements of Devil May Cry 3's combat system and Resident Evil 4's aiming.

How ya doing, buddy?
