I dunno man, I refuse to buy a game these days unless it has at least one smug animu girl in and enough text to kill a proof reader.
Obviously visual novels and anime games may not quite be popular with the kind of casual pleb who buys call of duty every year, but that doesn't mean that they're unpopular. Otherwise they wouldn't keep bringing them over. Just look at pokemon (though that may be an extreme example) and persona, I believe Ys has quite a respectable following ...

I'm sure there are people that do wise up and stop buying products from those publishers, but as Cobra says there are a fair few that say they've had enough but when the time comes they go right back to the same old buying habits.
I've seen it happen a fair few times in these comments sections, people saying they've had enough, then 6 months or whatever down the line when the newest game is expected to drop those same people defending the publishers that they earlier ...

@WickedLester
"Link's name is based on his status as a "link" between the player and the game world, as stated by Eiji Aonuma in an interview: "When a player is playing a Zelda game, my desire is for the player to truly become Link—that's why we named him Link, so the player is linked to the game and to the experience." Originally, Miyamoto wanted to name him Christo, after his grandfather, but later changed his mind."

It's ea...

The reason that Nintendo characters have no personality is because it makes it easier for the people playing the games to put their own personality onto the character, I believe Miyamoto has said this himself before now.
Also the reason why Link is called Link is because he's the players "link" to the world inside the game.
So that's why the characters have no personality of their own, becuase it's down to the individual playing the game to give them one....

That's pretty much my list, only I'd put S&K and Sonic 3 at 1 and 2. And maybe drop Adventure for Sonic Chaos for GameGear/Master System, I had so much fun with that game.

The only time I've ever met an "abusive" player was when I was playing battlefield 3 on PS3 a couple of years ago.
This kid was incensed what I'd killed him a few times when I was defending a capture point on conquest (apparently in his mind I was "camping") so he decided the best course of action was to send me a rather colourfully worded message expressing his displeasure.
So I called him a faggot, we exchanged a few messages on how he was a sore ...

From what I remember, around 90% of the kids on xbl have at some point boned me old mum.
It's good that she's apparently so popular and meeting new people.

You are aware the Vitas battery runs almost the length of the unit. Any bigger and the system would be unnecessarily bulky and likely increase the price, which people would then complain about and use it as an excuse to not buy the system.

I was considering getting one recently for Zelda, Pokemon and maybe some virtual console games. This late in the game though, I'm expecting Nintendo to announce a new system in the next 12 months, though the original DS had a 7 year run before 3DS came out so maybe we'll get another couple of years out of 3DS before they announce a new system.

He should take care of his health, Chris Senn made himself seriously ill back when he worked on Sonic Xtreme for Saturn by working literally all hours of the day (which Sega then cancelled on him).
Granted Sean probably has a bigger team than Chris did back then, but 20 hours, man, that's some serious work ethic there.

I didn't notice any problems on the PS4 version but in fairness I only played it for about an hour before going to bed, not played it on Vita yet but from what I'm hearing here it's probably best I don't bother.

The daily star as well, it's like trusting marvel comics for news on the current financial markets.

@Foxtrot
Porygon was man made though :/

And people complain about Nintendo fans buying "the same games" every time a Mario or Pokemon game comes out.
At least Nintendo aren't putting out those "same games" every sodding year.

3653d ago 2 agree0 disagreeView comment

There's porygon and magnemite.
They've always had weird AF pokemon without the man-made ones. Just look at jynx and mr mime. Then there's the ice cream and trash bag ones.

I dunno man, I reckon they at least know of Gears and the Last of us, possibly even uncharted, as a lot of the advertising campaigns for those game franchises are fairly recent.

Presumably they mean aside from the two chronicles games they've already shat out this year.
