Tokyo Game Show 2012(9/20-9/23) Discussion only

[Metah]

I haven't played any Warrior's Orochi so I can't say about that. However, it does feel like the first game, but more fluid and smooth. Overall it's the same gameplay as the first FotNS: Ken's Rage

[SephYuyX]

Kind of seems like a lack luster TGS this year?

[6souls]

I don't know, it seems alright to me. There is a bunch of trailers, screen caps, & announcements that I haven't posted because Borderlands 2 is so fucking addictive.

Namco Bandi Announces "Macross 30." Will drop next year.

Macross is Robotech if anyone doesn't already know. My mecha-fanboyism is all jittery.

[Akiyama]

Oh snap, Macross 30? I'll be in as long as it doesn't get as retarded as Frontier did. Fucking..

Spoiler: show

harem endings

[Weltall]

I liked Frontier D:
