I love survival horror, and I love Silent Hill, but in my experience, old school Silent Hill fanboys have to be some of the worst. I'm not talking about your general fan who appreciates the old games while still admiring the efforts of newer games. I'm talking the ones who praise the first three like they're the best damned things ever.

To them, nothing will ever even come close to matching the awesomeness that Team Silent created. Anyone who tries will fail. Yo...

I still joke about Pokemon and make Pokemon references and I'm an adult. But I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm a huge fan. But I do get your point. It's almost kind of like MLP.

I liked FF8, to an extent. But I didn't like Squall.

I liked him initially, but it didn't take long for him to grow on me as one gigantic douche. He has this great support from friends who like him despite the fact that he's a douche and this gorgeous girl is crushing on him to boot. And he's a massive prick. His animations didn't help with that, either.

Totally understand that he's got a troubled past and is insecure and battles w...

This isn't all that rare. People who regularly steal from stores (which she probably did) will often be aided by their children or have children present. They already steal, we shouldn't be surprised that they're not Parent of the Year candidates.

A particular shoplifter at a place I worked at used his two young girls as lookouts. It was heartbreaking, because they were just little girls. They were young enough that they probably didn't know any better, th...

What a lot of people seem to be missing (And by that I mean A LOT) is that so much of this is taken out of context.

When you look at the original clip, Pat always references back to the fact that the guy's a psychopath. The games that 'get you in the mode to do the killing' works for psychopaths.

People were so ready on the defensive that they failed to comprehend the actual message getting across. Sensationalist titles like this one misconstrue...

There isn't. The two game styles are completely different. The only thing that Capcom has managed to do is break the action up with what it hopes will appease the old fans. But even Leon's scenarios are a pretty big stretch from what fans actually are accustomed to.

Capcom is going for broader appeal - no one should be surprised that some will be left out. Survival horror is not for everyone.

The characters might be skilled officers, but the players are not. Sure, having the lead characters be as out of the loop as the player is adds a bit to the story, but it was pretty clear that RE's protagonists were pretty out of their element when they first stumbled into the mansion.

The protagonists in Silent Hill are not all innocent and inexperienced, either.

@ Laxman

The kid was probably buying points and gifting them to his online friends.

As ignorant as the father is, the boy could have told his dad that the mythical game troll took the money and he had to play to get it back.

Why feel bad for the kid? He knew well enough what he was doing. It's impossible to go through the process of purchasing more points and 'not' know that the points are being paid for with a credit card which had his father's name on it.

Yikes! It happened in Canada, too - so probably no jail time for this guy. I don't think he'd be able to handle being separated from WoW for that long, anyway.

Sure it does. That requires you carry around a separate controller. That really puts a damper on the portability. I don't want to have to carry around a separate controller to play games.

I think sometimes if you write a post that's too long, people will become angry with you for having done so.

They also love to and are so eager for the latest, greatest thing, so they can all claim how hard it fails a few months out of the gate. Happens every time. The Playstation 3, the Xbox 360, the Wii, the Nintendo DS, the Nintendo 3DS, the Vita...

Remote Play doesn't work very well on the Vita yet...every game I even try to play on it gives me a not supported message.

And it makes me a little sadder every day. Such great potential.

Kratos has a very distinct voice. It will be hard to find someone with that same quality. It doesn't matter if he's shouting or demanding things from everyone. It's like Homer Simpson being voiced by anyone else.

because why?

Yeah, but could you imagine the backlash from the general media? The people that don't know what God of War is all about? All they see is a black actor who covers himself in ash and looks white.

Not that I agree with that sentiment, but someone, somewhere will flip out over it.

Haha, wow. Disagrees? Oh, the swearing thing. Oops.

At least Konami is actually fixing the game, working on patches. They could have just as well said that it was finished and left it at that. They're not, they're actually working on patches and this is the culmination of their work.

They could have not done anything at all and said "fuck you gamers, we already have your money!"

I believe the article mentioned that this might be available at the end of the year. I used Google Translate for it, but it could have messed up.
