Square Enix launches Final Fantasy X 25th anniversary site, revealing new Nomura art, books, music releases, and merchandise.
Look I know VIII has its issues and all that but how on earth can the do big anniversary events with new artwork and merchandise for VII, IX and X yet VIII got sweet f*** all.
They could have given it something during its 25th anniversary yet all it got was a single Happy Anniversary post on their social media.
they should know that we are OG fans of VIII as it sold truckload as well. not as much as VII or X. I personally didn't like IX but X and VI are my personal fav.
Shadow Hearts 2 covenant is another game I love. I hope one day someone can make remake, I would be delighted
Final Fantasy VIII is great and you are always the first to defend it in the comments
LucasArts gave Jango Fett his own game in 2002, and it pulled Star Wars into a much dirtier, rougher, and more interesting corner of the galaxy.
The Wii is now a retro console. Let’s get nostalgic about an often maligned system.
Crazy to think the WII is to the Switch 2, as the NES was to the WII back then. 20 Year difference.
My wife asks me to bust it out (heh) everyone once in a while to play bowling and tennis with the kids. There was a ton of slop on it but some good stuff as well.
Wii was great but boy howdy did it cause Microsoft to go on a dark walk with the Kinect and the disastrous XBox One launch that they arguably never recovered from.
Not nostalgic for me.. I was there.. anyone who wasnt a little kid realized it was a gamecube with shit tacked onto it, it was the "joke" system and was well below even the switch in terms of comparing it to the latest machines at the time. The machine was well loved by young people and "casual gamers" who now remember it 20 years on, or in most cases more of its sales came in the 15-20 years ago range not right at launch- but again its not nostalgic for people who were "gamers" then really, just for those who ended up with one in their house, the games , graphics, interface and online features were archaic already in 2006.
it's it me or is the ps3 outselling the 360 by quite a big margin?Maybe now dev might actually start using the ps3 as it's lead platform when they make multiplatform games.The 360 has no big features left and you still have to shout out 50 dollars to play online.Not to mention that you can't watch any of the new hi-def dvd that will be releasing.They still haven't fixed the RROD problem that has been seen at numerous game events.They showed all their card way too early.I've owned a 360 and after having two of them just die on me, i bought a ps3.I've had my ps3 for about 2yrs already.Serves Microsoft right for making a faulty system.
360 funeral epic better consider put gears 2 on ps3 for insurance. because november it could be over.
Oh man here it is the 360 is dying out fast now, it's being out sold in every region by the PS3. There's only one game that can save the 360 now and that's GEARS but it might be a little too late by then.
I am more impressive with grant turismo prologue made it in the top 10 worldwide charts and it hasnt even been released in the NA yet. from here on it gets a little more diffucult for microsoft system. Because prolouge already did damage and next up its metal gear solid i wont count Grant thef auto because its a multiplatfrom game. But in reality both machine are selling real well.
This is world wide number so I doubt your going to like what you see. Well call you when US numbers are released, and even those are also quickly becoming a disappointment.
Sometimes I really feel bad, but then I think about some of the people that represent the 360 on this site then I don't feel bad at all. I hope this trend continues.
