The only other thing I'd like to say on this whole point, is that I think you should keep in mind the one thing I mentioned in my prior post probably more important than any other. I think it is more important to be a fan of the voice acting in general, rather than the language it is performed in. While it might be "authentic" in its native tongue, that doesn't always equate to better. And you already know I'm not trying to convince you to watch stuff dubbed all the time...
So knowing all that, consider yourself in the position of a team leader on a project like Persona 4 Golden. You're limited by space available on both the game and the amount that will be acceptable as a download. Even if you have 8 gigs available, you have a tough balance to get everything just right, considering you want to update an older game's visuals/audio that already clocked in around 8GB. But in this case, they were limited to I believe just over 4GB.
So you&...
@Yi-Long, thanks for the reply. And I can definitely see some of your points and where you're coming from, however I'd like to also offer some alternate perspective on some of those thoughts.
I definitely agree with the 'vote with your wallet' issue. I think this happens far too infrequently in the industry, but that's just my personal opinion. And I wholeheartedly agree that we should see more dual audio content, because it is important for a lot of folks...
@Yi-Long, I want you to know that I tend to agree with the vast, vast majority of your opinions and thoughts, and I think you tend to be well spoken on most all of them, however I'd have to disagree with this. I definitely do agree that changing established voice actors is a no-go situation, and I'm in the camp that can't stand when this happens, however this isn't exactly the same scenario.
When a voice actor is changed, they're taking an already establi...
As a suggestion, I'd recommend watching a bit of gameplay on Youtube. You might find yourself with a different perception of the game from that, because I don't personally think the game has much to do with drama. Although from some of the descriptions they may make it seem like a game weighted around high school drama, there are so many facets to this title that it's very hard to say what someone might think of it after experiencing it.
It's focus is on a se...
Very nice and concise review. I'm interested on your opinion of Xillia compared to Symphonia. I'm not finished yet with Graces F (too much of a backlog and that keeps getting sidelined), but I've been eager to get around to Xillia for quite some time. For me, Graces' story combined with their voice cast made it a little less appealing and interesting to me than the other Tales games, however the combat was very robust and that was an enjoyable and more challenging part of the ...
Much like what you and Iceman said, this is not the kind of game where you experience everything it has to offer in an hour or two of gameplay. It has a tremendous amount of content for new players and every two months or so they have a massive content patch to bring old players back in for more. It isn't perfect, and there are still things I'm not entirely happy with, but then that is also why it still is considered a beta. Every week new content gets added to the PC version, and fro...
Hey man, I was having the same problems you are until I realized I could create customized games where you can dictate many of the world's features. You can turn the dogs/frogs/tall-birds spawning frequency either down lower or even off entirely. That helps a lot since you really need some time to get prepped to take them on.
And as a heads up, using any sort of actual armor will greatly benefit you. It took me a while to realize that the armor really does help you. I th...
I'd agree with that entirely. I have a number of friends that don't game on PC and most likely would take advantage of a new version of Skyrim for consoles, but only if it has mod support. However that would likely mean that Bethesda would have to release a new version of their Creation Kit where people could "bake" their mods for consoles (similar to what was done for Unreal Tournament 3 on PS3).
And realistically, even though the new consoles should be ab...
I'm right with you man. While I do believe this was by far one of the worst and most pointless gaming events I've ever seen, I wouldn't pin this on Joel. Heck, I actually wouldn't have even watched the "reveals" (and I use that term lightly) if it wasn't for him. He was snarky and edgy, but he made it funny, at least for me.
I'd recommend that a lot of the people criticizing him just take a step back and look at previous hosts of the VGAs, an...
There was a serious discussion about this on their forums which sadly has been widely ignored by the developers. Basically, one of the devs posted a topic explaining that although they initially promised that cross-play and duality were definitely set in stone, duality (the ability to bring your account between PC and PS4 freely) is most likely not going to happen and cross-play won't be at launch but it should happen within the launch window (whatever time-frame they consider that to be)...
Sounds great man! I'm set up the same way. I've got my PS4 coming from Amazon. Ended up buying the Killzone bundle, and then a couple days ago I managed to get the BOGO (buy one, get one) email offer before anything was sold out, so I grabbed Battlefield 4 and Knack. Although, even beyond all those, I think one of my most anticipated games is going to be Resogun. I put a decent amount of time in on Super Stardust and far more with Dead Nation, so I'm thinking that's gonna be e...
Man, I've thought about that same idea myself... that would make my year. I've been so frustrated with the lack of a Yakuza 5 localization announcement or even just having the HD collection would be great at this point. But with Yakuza Ishin coming out relatively soon in Japan, and with things sounding like they're more focused on localizing Ishin, it seems more and more likely that those titles might not get localized unless this third-party team has something in the works.
I'm thinking that tomorrow I might end up grabbing either a 1TB Hitachi Travelstar (HGST) or a WD Scorpio Black 750GB drive. I'd like to get a 1TB one, but they don't seem to offer a Scorpio Black in that size yet, so I may end up going with the Hitachi. My reasoning for wanting to stick with one of these drives is specifically based on the larger cache (32MB or 16MB respectively) and the significantly higher speeds (7200RPM) than what many other 2.5" drives offer. I replaced...
Yeah, I'd have to definitely agree with what Drummerdude41 said. If you want to use your DS3 with PC until a proper tool is released for very reliable use of the DS4, there's no better option than Better DS3 Tool. I only learned about it relatively recently, but I can't recommend it enough. The app is rather lightweight, taking on average 20 to 30MB of RAM to run, which is great because from what I've seen the original DS3 Tool can be using upwards of 200+ MB, while friends ha...
Hey man, a buddy of mine linked me to this, and so far it has been quite helpful in getting games to work on PC with the DS4. It's a little extra time and effort since you have to set it for each game, but it seems to be the most worthwhile fix until someone releases a proper tool for getting it to work universally for all controller supported games.

I still remember going to EB Games when the first Legends title came out. I was so hyped to get it, and yet the employees were so disparaging of the game. They were trying to tell me what an awful game it was supposed to be, trying to push me away from getting it, and acting arrogant as expected. Needless to say, I'm glad I didn't listen to them. The original Legends and Legends 2 became two of favorite titles and they still are fun games to revisit (especially Legends 2). I only hope...
@DayZ As a just a quick thought I figured I would throw out, I'd recommend waiting just a few weeks, as Black Friday sales are right around the corner, and last year I was able to get my Vita from Amazon at a massive discount. At that time, the $250 Wifi model was bundled with Assassin's Creed, a 4GB memory card, and 3 months of PS+ for only $180. So if I were to guess, I'd think that during this Black Friday the Walking Dead Vita bundle could go down to $150, or perhaps even lowe...
They actually announced recently that there will be several upgrade options available to Steam users depending on what you might own. There hasn't been any news if this same model will be applicable to console users yet though.
I believe it was about a week ago that this news came out, explaining that if you own just the game without the DLC, the upgrade to Director's Cut costs $10, while if you owned the DLC already it was only $5. This is one of the sites that host...
You're definitely right there. If this proves to be true, knowing Atlus and their localization capabilities, we could be looking at a brand new age of Sega as a company. I say this namely because Sega's localization issues in the past seem to have been related to either being over-budget or just not making it financially profitable. Additionally, their localization for games like the Yakuza series have been infamously long. Conversely, these are areas where Atlus vastly excels.
