Okay, I give up. For months now, I've been receiving requests to record Active Time Babble on a more regular basis. It's what we Americans do: take a good thing and gorge on it until we hate it, then talk about how it was never that great to begin with.
Well get ready, because this is the first of what may be three straight weeks of Active Time Babble. Are we good now? Yes? Okay then.
I had planned on kicking things off with a Dragon Quest VI chat, but the recent glut of RPGs has kept anyone else from really playing it, so I'm going it alone once again. I take questions regarding both DQVI and Valkyria Chronicles 3 in the first couple segments, and share my misgivings for both. It's strange, I enjoyed both games, but it was negavity that bubbled to the surface this time around. I believe both of these games require further examination.
In the second segment, BioWare lead designer Mike Laidlaw joins me as we continue our examination of the upcoming Dragon Age II (which I actually happen to be playing at the moment). Unfortunately, a fairly shoddy Internet connection in some technical problems, so the sound occasionally hiccups. It's not enough to detract from the conversation, but you should be aware that it's there.
Next week we'll be tackling GDC, and I plan to get in as many guests as possible in between tackling a steadily more insane schedule. Expect plenty of chatter on both the eastern and western side of things as the entire game industry descends upon San Francisco.
Until then, here's the breakdown:
