Conversely, there's one big, giant, enormous reason NOT to play Skyrim. Check it:
1) Skyrim is a heavily hyped, unreleased games and all statements regarding its quality (either positive or negative) are purely speculative, and cannot, therefore, be trusted.
Competent consumers will ignore all of the reviews written before December, and buy the game once the hype has settled and more objective opinions begin to surface.
And yes, I realize...
The 10 are:
10. Imploding (Pac-Man)
9. Radiation Sickness (CoD: Modern Warfare)
8. Fatalities (Mortal Kombat)
7. Falling off a ledge (Left 4 Dead)
6. Drowning (Sonic)
5. Scissors (Clock Tower)
4. Eaten by Tyrannosaur (Dino Crisis)
3. Anything (Demon's Souls)
2. Chainsaw Decapitation (Resident Evil 4)
1. Puker Vomit(?) (Dead Space 2)
Oddly specific, and I'm not sure their list real...
They did? Those were fairly competent games. I had been ignoring this title due to the (very) poor quality of recent LotR titles, but maybe I ought to look into it.
Though I still think the choice of setting is (very) counter-intuitive.
I can't say I can see what this festival has to do with the advancement of games as a unique entertainment medium, nor do I see how any of it involves "trying something new."
It's basically a video game festival where people can... play games.
I would agree with you, if not for the fact that joint-ventures have a bad habit of turning sour, no matter how skilled or talented everyone involved may be.
Really now, remember how everyone thought the Square-Enix merger was going to be the best thing ever? Yeah.
How you act in a game influences how you act in reality. Be a douchebag in a game, you're more likely to become a douchbag in reality (if you aren't already).
Or so I've heard.
I've also heard that the overwhelming percentage of gamers always and only play LAWFUL GOOD, and I think we can all agree that a substantial portion of gamers are neither.
Most reviews tend to gloss over or ignore the complaints. Here's the bullet points:
1. Short number of missions
2. Much of the game is on-rails
3. A ton of scripted enemies that can ONLY be killed with on-rails CRA (like on on-rails QTE mode).
4. enemies spawn directly on top of the player at low altitude
5. Completely incoherent mess of a story
It's a flying game that doesn't actually fly, so it mostly plays like a...
Honestly, I think it'd be cooler NOT to have the other city be in Japan/Okinawa at all. Is Okinawa a part of Japan (officially) now?
It would be cool to move the game (and the narrative) at least partially outside of Japan. To, like, Burma or Singapore, or even China or Hawaii. I worry Yakuza 5 will just be more of the same (and ya' gotta admit, narrative-wise the series peaked at 2).
It's AWESOME. Buy it, you won't regret it. Just make sure to install the Unofficial Patch before playing it (and I think there was a modpack).
There's a reason it spawned the meme, "If you mention it, SOMEONE will reinstall it."
Only reason I bought the steam version was to make it easier to reinstall ever other year.
Anyway, just make sure you don't play as a Malk or Nosferatu on your first playthrough.
Ffffffffffffffffffffffffffff.. ..........
I just bought a Steam copy of VTM:Bloodlines three days ago.
So many problems with this article/paragraph, I'm not sure where to begin.
Let's just say it's short, inaccurate, and doesn't really offer anything worth reading to even the most devout TES fans.
A port is not a remake.
One involves tweaking a single file and adding trophies, the other involves building entire games over again from the ground up.
It's not a difficult concept.
Fukuoka would be nice.
It's only a necessity if you:
A) want to listen to music
B) want to watch videos
C) want to play some Vita games
D) want to play ANY PSP game
E) want to play ANY PS1 game
F) want to play ANY PS Minis game (?)
G) want to be able to install apps/utilities (netflix, etc.)
H) want to be able to play ANY Vita games from the PSN.
I) want to be able to browse the Internet and save bookmarks
It's...
Me too.
I think most people with handheld games do, and would even if the batteries were better.
And to think: there are still so many fanboys here who think portable gaming is still a thing.
It's always better to start big.
The problem lies in A) the fact that memory cards for the Vita are a proprietary format--a concept that ought to have died out decades ago, and B) the high cost.
Sony's Vita cards cost about 5 times as much as SDHC cards of identical size. The only people who can look at that and not realize they're getting ripped off (or ****ed up the *** with a *****) are the blindest of fanboys.
Luna.
Olympus Mons.
Think outside the box (or sphere), people!
Never said they were particularly demanding, just a bit more than I would have expected for a 360 port.
Which makes me worry a bit for how well optimized (or not) the game may be.
Of course, last time I checked (last night) PC version still had no release date.

A bit on the steep side.
Something huge happens with the PS3 every month.
In case you haven't been paying attention, this monolithic platform has seen a steady stream of quality games for the past two years.
