Scout Report: A few days ago I posted a post on Origin's Mass Effect 3 pre-order bonus, which includes a free copy of BF3 for any platform. Well that is now prematurely canned due to overwhelming response. As of yesterday.
Ok, so first of all how did they get this. Second of all I hope to god that's fucking fake. Why the fuck is the ancient race of aliens speaking with an african accent. I will kill someone. #tips(Edit comment)
My Gen 1 Metroplex toy i got for xmas as a kid was the greatest present EVER.
I voluntarily did chores/random tasks/anything for my parents for absolutely ages afterwards. i had asked for some Transformer toys but i certainly never expected to get the largest and most expensive transformer on the market (plus Hot Rod and Kup!!)
I was crying with happiness! :p Best. Xmas. Ever.
I think i'm gonna go call my mom now and ask her if she wants anything doing... :)
Anyone notice that Notch was featuring a bust with a Hitler stache on his PC during today's live stream? The camera has since moved. #tips(Edit comment)
It doesn't really say much since the guy is working with Capcom still. Just like when Seth Killian had to defend the gem system. Still not worth it no matter what they say. I lost interest when I heard it was based off the Unreal Engine. #tips(Edit comment)
Cool tidbits reguarding DLC, your PS3 content and Vita content syncing with one another.
When you buy MotorStorm RC you will be able to play it on PS3 and PS Vita at no additional cost.
When you buy Hustle Kings and/or Top Darts for PS Vita, you will get the PS3 versions for free.
If you already own these games on PS3, you’ll be able to download the PS Vita version for free.
If you purchase WipEout 2048 and you already own WipEout HD and the HD Fury DLC on PS3, you will be able to download them for free when they launch on PS Vita later this spring.
DLC purchased for the PS3 version of Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3 can be used on the PS Vita version for free (and vice versa).

Eh, I don't believe it. Probably one or two studios and the "report" had to sensationalize it. Technically the Vita isn't even out in the U.S. yet and to top it off most launches never go well. I'm sure the Vita will do just fine. #speakup(Edit comment)

Kickstarter project for Code Hero. It's a game that teaches you to make games.
THIS has to be one of the coolest things I've seen come out of the independent game industry in quite a while. The concept of learning to code a game through process and example, within the confines of a game, is a crazy yet brilliant idea. I don't know how good the game is (it's in beta, I haven't downloaded it yet, the graphics are all placeholder) but there's been some really positive feedback from players and it seems like what they're doing is really worth backing.
I encourage anyone who thinks they could stand to learn some coding to check this out. They say by the time you've beaten the game you'll know enough to make your own games in Unity. I'd love to see this really take off. #tips
If you've already reached the end of Final Fantasy XIII-2, odds are you're suffering from major sleep deprivation, and probably wondering what Square Enix was thinking by slapping a "To Be Continued" after the brief, final cutscene. Rest assured, Square Enix has confirmed
this is not an omen for Final Fantasy XIII-3, but instead a hint the game is larger than you may think, and that true closure is coming in future DLC.
Above: To be... continued? Really?
Explaining the abrupt finale during his appearance at the Taipei Game Show 2012 in Taiwan, director Motomu Toriyama said Final Fantasy XIII-2 has a number of Paradox Endings, and that the "To Be Continued" is the studio's way of encouraging players to go back and dig up every possible conclusion.
Additionally, Motomu noted Square Enix has a significant amount of DLC planned for the Final Fantasy XIII sequel, meaning true closure might have to wait until development is wrapped for good. Upcoming add-ons include the addition of Lightning and Amodar to the forthcoming Coliseum Battle mode, plus an individual episodes for for Lightning. Future episodes for Snow and Sazh have also been hinted.
There you have it; mystery solved. Or is it? Have you seen the end? Let us know if you think Final Fantasy XIII-2's final moments stand on their own, or if Square Enix is effectively holding the real ending hostage.
Recap: "The Cliff Hanger Ending" was pretty much was a "Gimmick" having to do with The Time Paradox Endings as well most likely DLC to introduce New Endings
I don't know if "To Be Continued" might be a 'proper' way to say, "Hey guys! You should expect more to this ending in an upcoming DLC!"
Almost always, a To Be Continued usually implies another full-length installment to the series. At least it does in movies and TV shows. If anything, Square Enix could be trolling us and a FFXIII-3 should be expected, regardless of how they twist it.
As far as DLC for the true closure of the story, I see it as this: Epilogue. In other words, what happens *after* the ending that has been given to us. I wouldn't call it a 'true' ending in a sense, but a playable story that occurs after the ending which expands on what happened. I suppose the Secret Ending when you collect all 160 fragments is a clue, but I'd imagine that the Epilogue would expand on that just a tad ... but if it goes to far, might as well go with a XIII-3. #speakup
I don't buy it. I think it was a fantastic ending, first of all. But also, I think that the DLC will at best explain what led up to the events for Lightning at the end.
There is no way DLC is going to be enough to cover the entire new Cocoon, and the death of Etro, and the end of the world basically. They already trademarked XIII-3, and I certainly hope that's what they have in mind instead. Also, they just freed Fang and Vanille, just reunited with Sazh, I just don't think DLC is going to be enough.
DLC will be filling in the side stories that were going on while Serah and Noel were adventuring, not after the ending. That's my opinion at least. #speakup
