This is not news this is a joke from the Onion so why did it get approved? This is for bad joystick not N4G
I think it is too small minded to think that either the West or the East is better and innovating more then the other. One thing people have to remember is that a large portion of games from Japan never even make it stateside and I'm sure a good portion of those games have a certain degree of innovation.
However people need to remember that innovation isn't the only thing that matters. If a dev does nothing but focus on how to make a title innovative it will more often then not ...
In my opinion there is no hope for hardcore games on Wii. If games like Madworld and No More Hero's didn't do it then there is no way a game like Red Steel 2 will.
Well that's what they get for trying to buy a Apple product.
I will say that these are not the be all end all signs and a game can show one or even all of these signs and still be a great game. Example. When Bungie first showed off Halo at E3 the game was slow and buggy and everyone thought it was going to fail. However the last few months of dev time made the difference and well we know how the rest goes.
However I will agree that more often then not these signs are a signal that the game may be having trouble and is going to fail.
Personally I'm not really looking forward to this game. The Repetition fest the first game was really turned me off of any want to play the second game.
It still confuses me why people like this game so much when the first game was so broken.
First off games are still being innovative coming out of japan and they are taking chances. Valkyria Chronicles for example blends 2 different types of game play and does so very well. There is no a game like it on the market. Yet it apparently is over looked because of lack of sales in this instance.
Persona 3 and 4 as well did something very innovative with the whole turn based RPG formula yet again not a massive seller so it obviously doesn't count in the eyes of someone like ...
I was really excited and happy to find out that Magna Carta II was getting a US release but now I don't know after finding out the game is using the Unreal Engine 3. That engine has just about ruined any game that used it because of horrible frame rate glitches and collision detection issues.
Hopefully the team will be able to work around these issues and make a great game regardless but i guess time will tell.
I have to say that is a horrible list. Most if not all of those games would make a horrible MMO. There is alot more to making a MMO then just simply saying HEY HERE IS ALOT OF PLAYERS!!!! Which is about all you can do if most of those games were to be made into MMO's.
I will say this. Online community's suck. But beyond that I have to say that WoW as a whole has one of the most vile disgusting unaccepting community's out there. People treat everyone around like them crap and with my experience asking for help or anything along those lines is pointless.
That being the case I can see how someone would have a horrible experience like this. I will agree to a degree that people should keep sexuality to themselves however there is still no excuse ...

Funny you should say that as all my friends who play WoW don't care at all about playing the bosses the only reason they do is for the gear. In fact the vast majority of players care nothing about fighting a new boss they care only about obtaining the best gear and showing it off which is largely impossible in WoW thanks to how Blizzard runs the game.
As far as WoW end game bosses being more interesting I beg to differ. The vast majority of WoW end games bosse...
WoW's endgame is broken simple as that. You take a extremely long amount of time and effort to acquire a great and powerful set of gear and as soon as you obtain it they implement something better making what you just did pointless and they have done this countless times. It's a slap in the face to your fans to do that.
I will give you a example. I played Final Fantasy XI very hardcore for about 4 years. During that for years I got the best Gear in the game for Samurai and Monk. ...
They have games in the FFVII universe planned but they are not currently in production. Both Nomura-san and Kitase-san said that Crisis Core would NOT be the last game in the compilation of FFVII and considering Advent Children complete isn't a game it makes sense that they will have something more in the future.
As it stand Square and everyone who should be involved in a Final Fantasy VII project are busy with either Final Fantasy XIII or Versus XIII so it makes sense they would...
After playing most of the MMO's out there I do truly believe that the best one on the market atm is Final Fantasy XI. It's has incredible balance and crap load of content and despite being a MMO still has the great story lines that final fantasy is known for. The game is also great because of countless little innovations such as being able to level every job on a single character instead of having to make a new one and the sub job system as well.
The major problem here is that Fi...
I have been a Gamefly member for a few years now and while I have had some very long wait times for games I have never gotten a broken game in the mail at all.
Dating sims or more often known as visual novels are great games if you can get into them. They are really about story and more often then not they have very good stories about people falling in love(hence the X rated scenes) and struggling to overcome something that is keeping them from being together or something similar.
While they are not for everyone they can be very fun to play. Great games such as Snow Sakura and X-change Alternative have great touching stories and I would...
This is actually a pretty sad list.
Most of the 3rd party exclusives the 360 had are now on or coming to PS3. Eternal Sonata, Bioshock, Tales of Vesperia just to name a few.
While I will admit that XBLA is great and such the majority of that content is just fancy versions of flash games we have played for years like Zuma and the community games for the most part suck. While on PSN we are getting great games like Pixel junk, Echochrome and Flower all great original ga...
I hate to say but the stupid medieval fantasy RPG stories that come out of most RPGS from the west are worse then any JRPG. For example Oblivion. How many horrible find the kings son to save the world crap is there going to be?
Ok why does all this WoW stuff keep getting accepted? This is news for gamers not a WoW forum. Unless it's talk of a new expansion pack we do not need to hear about it.
Mac's suck and not because of hardware or software or anything. It's mainly because of pricing. Apple will have you pay a large amount for a somewhat mediocre system that could have been twice the power for the same price had you bought a PC instead and the main reason behind this is the so called "Sexy design" behind the Apple products personally I don't think it's worth it and it very well may be the reason that Apple hasn't gotten hold of larger % of the market.
