CCC Says: "Since #GamerGate brought up the topic of corruption in game journalism, and now that it's in the forefront of everybody’s mind, I thought I’d write a few article about the corruption I see. Note, that this corruption really has nothing to do with Zoe Quinn or Anita Sarkeesian, of whom I still support. This is corruption that I have lived for my entire career as a game journalist. This is corruption that is holding game journalism back in profound and unsettling ways. Also, it’s corruption that #GamerGate hasn’t really touched on, so in the hopes that they can do some good, I bring to you “Real Corruption in Game Journalism.” If you guys need something to fight against, here it is."
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
I can confirm this through personal experiance.
I wrote unpaid for two gaming sites for over 3 months.
One told me I needed to write for them for 3 months before I'd be eligible for a paid position. When the 3 months were up they told me I'd be earning $2.00 an article and said they'd only pay me for the work I'm assigned.
The other told me I could write for them for free and (if) a paid position became available I'd be considered.
Needless to say I've stopped writing for both sites.
Trouble is, there's really nowhere for a videogame writer to go to get a proper paying writing job. Everywhere wants you to write for free and instead of money thy give out incentives like game codes and event passes. Fat lot of good codes and passes do if you have no money to purchase consoles to game on or buy petrol(gas for my American friends) to get to events .
