I hope next gen brings a lot of change, even if slowly and gradually. I hope the great creativity and fun of past generations return. Final Fantasy 15 could be the first title to contribute to that change.
I also wish if they would include Japanese va. Since the PS4 is region free, there's the option to import the Asian version, wich should include Japanese va and English subs.
I lost all interest in KH3 after I read this.
"No women? We've seen a few appearances from a woman named Stella, who appears to play a pivotal role in the plot—like Noctis, she has a strange power related to the spirits of the dead" Then how can there be no women? I don't know why this became such an issue, maybe because of the immaturity of the gaming media and fans?

"Keep in mind that versus was suppose to be more like the traditional FFs."
Atually, it wasn't. Do you even know why it was called Final Fantasy 'Versus' XIII in the first place? Anyway, I'm happy they changed it's name.

When a game suddenly rises in popularity without a comprehensible reason and you want to give yot honest opinion about it, then get ready to be savagely attacked by the internet gaming community trolls. Gaming website are criticized for being very inaccurate with their reviews. And while that's true, the reason why those who criticize them do so isn't because they're inaccurate. When a game gets the review rating that everyone wants, the review is ...
"more believable" LOL
Reading this article, I can't help but feel the author is one of those types who have a twisted view about equality.
"A number of the female characters in this game are just as tough, if not tougher than Joel. She kills more enemies in cut scenes than Joel does. But it's with The Last of Us that their balance of gender roles goes above and beyond the industry norm."
Is this what gender equality is?
"female characters [in Ico and RE4 are]...

"However, we need competition in the market."
But with the way micro$oft are now doing things, they're not providing any competition whatsoever.
The problem is that he considers those who gave valid opinions as to why the game isn't such a good game "haters" because he can't come up with any good counter argument. The truth is that I've yet to see a FF13 fan who can give good reason why the series should stick with FF13's style rather than go with FF15's style. One such dumb argument is that FF15 is nothing more than mindless hack and slash. Haven't they seen its trailer? Did it look like "mindle...
Thanks for the comment. As for Sega's market share increase, I did not come up with that myself. This is only one of market share rate increases, as there's been several ups and downs. What's important though, is that according to an NPD study: "the Sega Genesis was able to maintain its lead over the Super NES in the American 16-bit console market." Which means that when the 16-bit era came to a close, Sega was on top, even with their failed consoles the Sega CD, 32X, et...
There's a chance they'll return to their former glory with Final Fantasy 15.
The title is a bit misleading. This more about indie developers than it is about game diversity. And while Sony's support for indies to bring more diversity for the PS4 is great, I also wish that the videogame industry as a whole returns to the previous generations' diversity and creativity, not just indie developers.
@A_Gamer
Thanks! Your comments bring nostalgia. I agreed and bubbled you too. :)
It sounded good on paper, but the execution was poor. It had very tiny islands and was very repetitive and boring. But F*** me, right? Rapid-hit the dislike button!
You're sorry that it will win? Why so?
"I’m unsure if it is company ego"
Nintendo had always had an ego that was too big for them. And it has always caused problems for them;
- 3rd parties' five games per year limit for the NES.
- 3rd parties' limited take on what cartridge size they're going to get. Nintendo was biased toward some companies over others; some companies had to make do with what limited cartridge memories that were allocated to them. Meaning, game design faced ...
"Microsoft has an image problem and a good face could fix the problem."
I'm not sure why would replacing Mattrick would solve the problem. Would it make anyone who isn't already going to buy the console do so just because a new guy will replace Mattrick and end up saying the same things Mattrick has said? The Xbox One is what it is, regardless of replaces Mattrick. Besides, issues like DRM and Kinect aren't decisions he can make on his own, they have to ...
Complexity doesn't necessarily mean arrogance. But at least you didn't respond with the usual TL;DR :)

I don't know how you see it "handled violence the best." There was a hypocritical air about, as was mentioned in the article. Why should Joel and the others be so unnecessarily violent and kill others without even the slightest care? If it's because of the violent world they live in, then why do they go out of their way to save someone (in a very violent way)? Is it because they 'care'? That's the contradiction and hypocrisy. If someone is criminal minded like Jo...
@TongkatAli
While FF13 in itself is a bad game, compared to most of what came out this gen, it's one of the best games. But if FF15 managed to get it right, we might get a once-a-decade true masterpiece.
