Regardless of who's at fault, that mod was still being a vagina. I don't care what those kids were saying, mods don't fight trash talkers with more trash talking, they should simply ban and that's it. That guy was provoking them back just as much by trying to flex his authority. If they were violating the terms of service, he should have left them a simple warning and if they continued ban them right away. Instead he acted just as immature as those other kids and was provoking them back.
Kitase should leave Square and go join back with Sakaguchi. Ugh I really wish all of Sakaguchis old FF team would reunite with him and join Mistwalker, then we'd start seeing the JRPG franchise come back to glory. But how can people accuse Sakaguchi of "ripping off" Final Fantasy? How the hell can he rip off something he created?
The Last Story and Xenoblade are both going to be fantastic games and i can't wait for more info about them. Thank God my Wii will finally...
There is a very noticeable difference in lighting, specular highlighting, and most importantly anti aliasing. Much more jaggies in the 360 version and textures are not as detailed. Even the color and contrast is a little more vivid on the PS3.
The comparison posted in Neogaf comparing the resolution and anti aliasing gives a much better comparison of the differences.
PS3 has that extra layer of polish that just looks much much better. Its really a bunch of smaller...
This is such a great game, they deserve this score. Everything is so well designed and polished. Best online shooter thats out there right now.
The sound in this game is also pretty incredible. Probably the best sound in any shooter out there. You really need to experience this game with a pair of high quality headphones like the ATH AD-700s or Senn HD555s. It is so engrossing you just feel like you're in a real battle. Plus you can really pinpoint where enemies are, especi...
Its pretty clear they took inspiration from MW2, seeing as they completely ruined the soul and feeling of a JRPG. Now its basically just a completely linear "on-rails" RPG (if we can even call it that anymore) thats been completely dumbed down and tried to turn it into a western style action game. I've been playing the Japanese version since it came out so its not like I'm just saying this without playing it.
BTW that opening paragraph needs to be changed. Square are...
@ we won
wow, could you possibly be any more of a complete douchebag? thank god you only have 1 bubble, its pretty obvious why you do.
Yes he does. Go look at my post a little further up if you want to see how I feel about him ;)
The thing that irks me about him the most, is that he's not just content with destroying Squaresoft, but he actually WANTED to spread his ignorance across the entire Japanese gaming industry. F*** this guy seriously, I would slap him in the nuts if I ever saw him.
Square has become so unbelievably pathetic its ridiculous. I've actually made the choice that I will NOT be buying FF13 anymore, I will wait to purchase it pre owned if at all, because of countless terrible decisions Square has been making. If this game sells well, then it just encourages Squares behavior even more to keep butchering of one of the most beloved franchises in gaming and will send them the message to continue what they're doing. I'm hoping this game bombs that way they will b...

Actually the problem is because Bioware only coded the game for 16:9 aspect ratio, so when it is played on a 4:3 TV you get the black bars on top and the picture crammed to fit into the aspect ratio. Bioware CAN release a simple patch to fix this, pretty sure Rare did for Banjo Kazooie on 360 when people complained of the same thing.
Its not an issue of having to "upgrade sdtvs to hdtvs" its only happening because devs are not outputting t...
Just because they're both shooters doesn't mean the gameplay styles are similar. They're two completely different games. This article completely nails it. You're the one who is completely missing the point of it.
It's like saying Ghost Recon 1 and Unreal Tournament 3 are the same thing since they're both technically "shooters." Thats like comparing apples to oranges, two entirely different approaches to "shooters."
This game really was SE's last chance, in my book. I've given up hope entirely on SE.
God damn I really wish that MS either would have included a next-gen format, be it Blu-ray or HDDVD it really didn't matter, I just wish developers didn't have to worry about limitations so ridiculous as storage capacity.
If they did it to see if the XENO fans would bite, gotta say it worked.
I actually didn't know about this game, and didn't know Takahashi had been working on this. So if this is a game that Takahashi "poured his soul into," I'm definitely excited.
I feel much better with Takahashi at home with Nintendo. I'm a little more confident that Nintendo won't screw everything up the way that Namco did.
I chuckle every time someone says that Apple "monopolizes" OSX.
Just quit while you're ahead. You're looking like an idiot right now. Especially for being an "adult."
For you to say any TV less than 52" doesn't benefit from added pixels is quite an idiotic statement. I don't care what size it is, more pixels is more pixels. Viewing distance has everything to do with whether or not you notice those additional pixels. Larger screen sizes benefit more from added pixels due to pixel density, but thats not to say the benefit is...
Xenogears as well :)
I really miss Squaresoft...god damn I really really hate Wada, he was the worst thing to ever happen to Square AND Enix. The merger (and Wada) just absolutely ruined both companies.
I really wish the entire old Squaresoft team would leave Squeenix and join Sakaguchi at Mistwalker.
Square is going to keep declining and I just hope the company fails at this point, that way at least Wada can get the hell out of the Japanese gaming industry where he certainly doesn't be...
A Xenogears remake is much more necessary than a FF7 remake. I'd really love to see the entire saga the way it was meant to be told (that famous 2nd disc NEEDS a remake). I know for sure that this is one of the most requested games by Japanese gamers as well as a FF7 remake.
If they remade both I'd cream all over the world.
Kind of hypocritical. Bioware games have evolved about just as much as JRPGs have, well maybe Mass Effect could be an exception but shooter mechanics aside it was still basically KOTOR/Jade Empire. So the argument could be made that while Bioware/WRPGs added shooter mechanics to their existing formulas, some JRPGs have added real time combat mechanics to their existing formulas.
The thing is, the fact that they said this proves they never were much of JRPG fans. The fall of JR...
We don't know exactly that it has nothing to do with Xenogears/saga.
Xenosaga technically had nothing to do with Xenogears, but it was Takahashi reimagining Xenogears Perfect Works Episode 1 (Xenogears was actually episode 5 of Perfect Works). Xenosaga 1/2 were supposed to be the only ones resembling Perfect Works ep.1, but since Namco screwed it up all three ended up just finishing off episode 1.
Now Xenoblade could be like what Xenosaga was, except for Perfect Wor...
