200 hours is small in comparison. I have probably over 1000 in Cstrike Source, 2000 in Cstrike 1.5, and 75 days in Final Fantasy XI.
The guide is incomplete. You can get NieR on PS3 for $10.

Saw it in action at E3. Works for games like Motorstorm and other sports and arcade games. Sucks for RPGs when you want to bask in the environment.
We can only hope Square gets it's act together for 2011. Yet to hear any big games for this year aside from Deus Ex.
So... Best in 2011? lol
Completely agree!
Yeah, I tried to cnvey it the best I could in my writeup. I really enjoyed NieR even with it's issues.
Yeah, it's been out for nearly 3 months, but the lack of real marketing for the game would trick you. lol
But then it wouldn't be a Square-Enix game.
It's more that they have been hurting financially by pumping millions of dollars to develop or publish these other games, and when they take that risk with titles like Enslaved and don't see a lot come of it, that's when they take a step back and figure that the best idea is to go with sure-sellers like their arcade classics or anything along those lines. As I said in the article, bringing over a Tales game when it may only sell in the tens of thousands would be dangerous in anyon...
Well, like I said, it's not really a surprise when a company like Bamco comes out and makes comments like these (or at least, a press representative for them). Honestly, I wasn't captured by Enslaved either until I actually got a chance to play it, and it really hooked me in. You just have to play perhaps the first 10 minutes to see that. However, even if you don't want to buy their games, offer your support to XSEED Games and/or Atlus to help them redouble their efforts and show ...
It comes down to licensing fees which are ginormous. It's the same reason you don't see a lot of games in Japan brought over here, especially when it comes to PSOne classics. Everyone has some sort of royalty check waiting to be stuffed in their pockets. It's also why you probably won't see many JRPGs on the PS2 library if and when they decide to put those games on the PSN. Only the big blockbusters like GTA will have an easier time because they are already based in America.
The PS3 version of Vesperia changed it in Japan, but over here in America comparing the 360 versions, this is what I am basing my comment on: http://gamrreview.vgchartz....
It clearly shows better sales. :)
Not a huge surprise, but at least there's a real frank comment out there that explains just why Namco is just so afraid to bring it here. The funny thing is, Vesperia sold better in America than it did Japan. :-/
I can never really get into the portable market for these types of games, so I hope they port it into HD on the PS3.
Yessir. Although Red Steel 2 is obviously not an RPG, it's a pretty solid game weighed down by the lackluster game that came before it. However, all the RPGs on my article are well worth the purchase. Otherwise, I wouldn't have chosen them! This is why I wait for prices to drop rather than buy right away - no matter if it's launch day or a year later, a good game stays a good game to me.
Absolutely! Secret of Mana alone is worth the purchase, but there's a lot of strong titles on the Wii, and for some reason, all sleeper titles. lol
I'm sure one day the PSPgo will make sense. Right now though, just not worth the time, effort, and cost!
Also, unfortunately, since this article has been approved, I cannot change the article. I had an interesting picture of Sazh from Final Fantasy XIII holding cash. I'll make that part of my site article, though. lol
It's always been substance over style for Nintendo. They're not looking to great the next great entertainment medium. That's why they always lead, and others follow... well, it's been that way since the Wii was released, anyway.
