[PS3] Ni no Kuni: Wrath of All Y'All Niggas That Got Swindled

I'd decided to pick up Ni no Kuni from Best Buy since I've got quite a few $5 off coupons, but it looks like that won't be happening. All week it's been available at no more than 2-3 locations within 100 miles at any given time, and those locations shift daily. As of right now I'd have to drive over an hour and hope their website is correct, which is a big if. I guess I'll probably end up borrowing Nutty's copy once he's done with it after all.

The best part about this is how Namco is going to cite low sales when they're literally refusing to sell us their product.

You probably won't be missing much from most of those series anyway. I was honestly surprised that they released the last volume of .Hack//GU, even if it did take them a year longer than it should have. Project X Zone and that card game that's sort of based on .Hack will probably be the only things we'll ever see in the west. We usually only get one Tales of game per decade too.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

This seems like a good time to mention that stores around here finally got their Ni no Shipments today, so I'm probably going to buy it tomorrow. If anyone doesn't want their insulting guide feel free to send it my way.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I finally got around to starting it last night, and I love how much the world map feels like Dragon Quest VIII. Too many of the options are still locked to say much more than that, but I'm enjoying it.

Pee-pee girl is secretly the main character.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I don't know why people think this game is hard, or at least what I've read from reviewers. So far I haven't had a single issue with a boss, though to be fair I'm just about to reach the fourth town.

Reviewers always claim that average difficulty games are too hard, and use it as an excuse to dock points. The slightest hint of a challenge sends most of them into a weeping fit.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
