Agree with you over 9000%.
At first I wanted to disagree, but reading the article the guy is a complete fu**head. He wants to get his point across, then calls Blue dragon, Enchanted Arms and Eternal Sonata "shitty". Wow. I was astonished. Yet another example of little co**suckers who shame gaming journalism.
Rule number 1; if you don't like a game, never say it is "shitty", as chances are there are people who like them. He also insults...
I'd say both. I wish we had an abundance of jRPG's, but unfortunately we don't. A big part of that is that, as you said, they are misrepresented by not just western media, but westerners (I am a westerner btw, white).
JRPG's feel like a massive journey, at least for me. Epic stories and characters. I wish that people in the Western world bought more than just shooters, as we are a big consumer base. Same could probably said for the Japanese market with shooter...
Meh nothing for me. Bioshock 2 DLC is a running joke across XBL members. It has been on sale like 6 times last year lol. Borderlands DLC as well. I have all the Bioshock and Borderlands dLC already, and think that people should buy the Special edition tht comes with Bioshock 1&2 plus all dlc.
Duke Nukem aint worth $2, let alone $20 IMO. It made CoD look like the best fPS ever.
Where do I sign up?
Have not seen the Surface pro specs, but the standard is pretty tame. I recently bought a tablet, so sucks for me.
The picture looks ridiculous. It is a step backwards. Notice how it looks very similar to a launch 360.
Off topic.
I hate tablets, I really do. They are very convenient and all, but it is hard to pick something from a collapsible menu, to copy/paste. Wonder how much longer it will take for me to put my fist through it.
Totally agree. Someone just needs to mention the iPhone and people get some weird tingly feeling in their nether-regions that I cannot explain, but Sony show off something that benefits everyone (4K TV's) and everyone is going 'meh'. This isn't some fashion statement like an apple product, this is the future. Whether people want to admit that is entirely up to them.

I agree. Darksiders 2 and Ubisoft was the first thing that popped in my head. Ubisoft made PoP and Assassin's Creed, and countless other games with parkour. So they could only improve the running/climbing in Darksiders (Darksiders 2 did a great job of the running/climbing, but it was still hit and miss).
Sega did good with Bayonetta, so Darksiders would also be alright with them. Only problem is that Sega will drop the franchise as soon as they rea...
Yeah sports games doesn't matter who it goes to. EA are bad, but 2K shut down servers for their basketball games a little over a year later.
I like Metro, South Park and Darksiders. My brother like Saints Row. THQ have been good to me, and bad. It is sad to see them go nonetheless.
Just goes to show what happens when you actually try and bring new IP's (Darksiders, Homefront, Metro), all with mediocore sales. Sad, as Metro and Darksiders at least were...

And THAT, my friends, is what I call 'the threesome'. Three comments, three marked trolling. There should SOOO be a trophy for that. Like a boss.
Good for you. This isn't meant to be a bragging rights session, just asking a simple question.
These days exclusive games are only used for fanboy ammo, instead of admiring them. Silly world we live in.
I myself played (I know, some are on PC);
Halo 4 - Superb
Alan Wakes AM - Excellent
Deadlight- Pretty average
Dust- Excellent
South Park Tenorman's Revenge- Worst game *I* have ever played, a disgrace of...
Haha c'mon guys, give them a break. At least they aren't charging 800ms points like the 2mb patch in Halo Wars.
Great tip for developers; cut some content from a game, and later give it to people for 'free'. It puts you in the good books with the naive and stupid. EA pulled it off with ME3 just fine.
Xcom is a good game though, glad to see good new IP's last year (Sleeping Dogs, Dishonored). Although Xcom isn't exactly new, it was gre...
Terrific. Funny word. Did you know that the word means very good, whilst another meaning for it is the exact opposite; very bad/unpleasant. The more you know.
Sucks for Wii U only owners, but I think that the tables will turn (or at least the sad faces will) when HD Zelda and Metroid come out.
The Wii U looks to be in a bad position, as Devs want to push out their games for the 360 and PS3 with large install bases, whilst also looking into next gen (PS3-360)....
Well Crytek are already working on a Homefront 2, and given their relationship (sexual or no) with EA, I think that they (EA) will pick it up.
I would not be suprised if Sony offer QD an offer shortly before or after the release of Beyond.
There are many big games coming out next year, but Beyond is my most anticipated. Even more so than (don't hurt me) The Last Of us.
Yes and No for me. Yes because Sony will make sure Darksiders and others are Quality, but no because I believe it would be unfair to the PC, Xbox and now Wii U fans.
2K, Ubisoft could do wonders for Darksiders, particularly Ubisoft with their PoP and Ass. Creed experience.
If 2K bought Saints Row, they would kill it off to get rid of GTA's main competitor.
As long as EA or Activision don't get any.
So should we be buying them all up and selling them for a profit? Lol.
RIP PS2. I have 8 (Do NOT ask how or why lol) and 7 are still going strong. The other one got the disc tray stomped on by a little shit cousin years ago.
Best moments were the PS2 days. Mine was mostly swallowed up by Gran Turismo, Ratchet and Clank and the Budokai games.
I disagree with Telltale. They are already working on 2 other episodic games, as well as another season of TWD, and as good as Half Life is, I don't think it suits this style of, 'game'.
TWD was amazing as it has always been solely about the characters. Half-life has other stuff going on that might detract from it in this form of game. They could prove me wrong though, as they did an excellent job with TWD.
Love Pokemon. I can still go back and plsy the old ones on GBA and GBC. I just couldn't get into Diamond and pearl, or any of the DS ones (Remake of Gold and silver ae the exception).
Tbh, the series has not really evolved since it first came out. Suprised they have not re-done the combat, or added a story. The series needs to drastically change for me to be interested.
Everyone is quick to point out every other game that feels 'samey', but Pokem...
You are an Idiot. You must have never played Lost Odyssey.
Besides,Final Fantasy has sucked for ages. I only enjoyed the PS1 era games. While FFX was not shit, it was boring. Tidus was a little bitch.
Square Enix has only themselves to blame for the atrocities that are FF13. The only thing the 360 held back from the PS3 was the graphics department. Everything else is Square enix's fault.
Take off your tin-foil hat and look at the real ene...
