So, by that logic Diablo III would be a great thing...
It doesn't even get that many creepy JRPG games :(
What's your source on that? Dynasty Warriors 8 did make it to 350,000 sold in Japan, according to Enterbrain (via Wikipedia).
One Piece: Pirate Warriors 2, which is also of the Dynasty Warriors franchise, sold 410,000 copies in its first week (via Wiki). Then again, One Piece is incredibly popular in Japan.
Glad I'm warned about Persona 4. Just bought it.
And I absolutely agree on Okami, KH2 and especially FFXIII
Hell yes. I kind of agree that the Vita is dying (which, given its name, is incredibly ironic), but it has still brought me my current game of the year and now the sequel, so it's a little hard to regret buying it.
I'd welcome more games, though. And I can't believe that apparently Loco Roco, Patapon and many of the franchises that made PSP what it was, seem to be forgotten.
I feel sorry for the motion capture actor who has to get his head torn off by Kratos...
I might add that the people who write (at least some of) these tweets are garbage.
Still, though. GET THAT **** **** GAME ON *** ***** PS4, YOU **** ****. ****.
What, what?
Novelty is the quality of being new. Have names been written on the Coca Cola since the brand's inception?
No, it was a novelty - and a marketing push.
That aside, this is actually a very informative analysis. Far beyond what one typically expects from a video game webpage, anyway. It's worth a look.

I don't think I'd say Super Meat Boy is harder than Demon's Souls, at least. Or MGS4, for that matter. WipEout HD doesn't have to be THAT hard, but getting all the trophies for instance, is damn near impossible.
The reason I mentioned The Last of Us and MGS4, is because these are games where they don't just tweak health stats, but go an extra mile to make the higher difficulties more interesting.
Prinny is great too. B...
Step 1: Broadcast games - Step 2: ??? - Step 3: Profit

It actually has tons of games. Sure, games like Watch Dogs, Call of Duty and Battlefield 4 are multiplatform, but then again, PS4 has been the cheapest option for those who want to buy these games on a next gen console.
I think price and timing has been everything in the beginning. Yet, judging by the libraries one wouldn't think there was a whole year's difference between PS4 and Wii U.
@deafdani
Get with the program! Grounded is where its at.
That being said, I'd like to try Tropical Freeze properly some time, if it's as hard you guys say it is. I love Prinny, Super Meat Boy and other hard platform games.
If it's harder than MGS4 on The Boss Extreme, then it might even be too much.
Knowing the top Nintendo titles, it probably will be for some time. I mean, Mario Kart 7 is still on there.
If you consult N4G for opinion pieces, it tends to be.
To adress your point, is difficulty all that constitutes a hardcore game? So, the kids downloading "The Impossible Game" on their phones are hardcore gamers or at the very least are playing a hardore game?
It's a reason why it's called "hardcore" and not just "hard". Anyone can make a hard game. What one typically expects from a hardcore game, is depth or challenge. Do you think people play DOTA because it's hard or because it's i...
Is Tropical Freeze really harder than Demon's Souls?
Well, if you turn up the difficulty, then I guess...
Resogun, WipEout HD, The Last of Us and Metal Gear Solid 4 come to mind, and more indies than I care to keep track of.
Ok. Now I feel pretty sure that you're either the writer or a good friend of the writer. Because there's that seemingly random namedropping of Watch Dogs again. Is it universally the embodiment of a failed game, or should you maybe find a product that's either made by the same developer or at least in the same genre as The Order, for the sake of sensible comparison?
It's going to sound like I'm defending The Order, but is the quality of this article too low for N4G, or what?
I'd be very interested in knowing what part of the game the writer got his hands on. Apparently a pretty big part, seeing how it was seen as fitting to judge the characters. And btw, what specifically was not done well about the characters?
Generally, I feel myself asking "why?" more than I should. Why didn't you like the ch...
Except the one I backed on N4G back in the day. They knew what they did...
Reference in the link above.
Besides, half the time The Onion comes off as try-hards. Written comedy is hard.
That's a good point, but I don't see the point in ignoring all the actually succesful installments, which are on PS3. Many of the titles you mention are spin-offs to PS3 titles or less popular franchises. I'd be more interested in how Hyrule Warriors fares against the major titles. It did get 9/9/9/9 from Famitsu, after all.
It's also notable that Famitsu apparently estimats higher sales for Hyrule Warriors than Media Create does.
