A game (and movies) can be "family friendly" and still enjoyable by adults. Look at Ape Escape, Crash, or the original Spyro games. Look at almost any Nintendo first party game. Wonderbook is geared only towards children, and entertainment enjoyable only by children is poorly made entertainment.
Parasite Eve 1: Fantastic, original RPG.
Parasite Eve 2: Resident Evil with magic.
Parasite Eve 3: Herp with a side of derp and a large helping of shit.
The sad part is Valkyria Chronicles 1 sold better in the US than it did in Japan. So what did Sega do? Make the second game strongly appeal to the Japanese, put it on their favorite platform and completely abandoned it in the West. My only hope is that the fan translation of VC3 gets completed.
Sega cares about one thing and one thing only (and strangely it isn't profit): Japan. A game could sell millions in the West, but if Japan didn't like it, they'll drop it or ...
In terms of screwing customers, the big four are: Capcom, EA, Ubisoft, and Activision.
In terms of ignoring large parts of your fanbase or just having a poorly run Western branch (sitting on IPs for years, awful marketing, refusing to release games outside of Japan), the big four are: Capcom, Namco, Sega, and Nintendo.
You think that turd in the second link is anywhere near as mobile as the 3DS or the Vita? Good luck jamming that in your pocket.
Its not only that you get the game "free" if you download it from the web, but you also get savestates, cheats, the ability to use it on any system that will play it, English patches, frameskip, etc. Buying the game means you miss out on most of these (3DS games just recently started using savestates).
These are also very old games I've already purchased once, whereas those $1 apps are actual new experiences (usually). Nintendo obviously can't meet or beat the price...
It's Sega. They've got stupid moves down pat. At least July has... some 3DS games.
I gave my mother my PS3 as a Netflix machine because it broke for a second time and Sony wanted another $200 to fix it again. And for the record, it was vacuumed weekly, had about six feet of space for the rear fan and one foot of space for the side fans, and was used about twice a month.
No Nier? Fail list.
The Third Birthday. Biggest disappointment in my life.
I'll give you FPS, but there's no way that opening the menu, opening the item menu, THEN selecting your item would be faster than tapping the icon on the lower screen for RPG menu navigation. Inventories in RPGs get overwhelmingly large, and being able to freely control the speed at which you scroll through them with a touchpad is infinitely better than a single speed d-pad.
Optional co-op for the storymode should be in every single game, period. I don't care if two main characters or a generic npc following the main character screws with your "narrative," sometimes I just want to play with friends.
Halo did it, Battlefront did it, Saints Row 2 and 3 did it, Timesplitters did it, Mercenaries 2 did it; the list goes on. None of these games were "worse" because of co-op, because they simply made it optional, and they were a BLAST.
Are you kidding me? The Vita has been getting outsold worldwide by the Wii and the PSP weekly. In fact, the only thing the Vita is outselling weekly worldwide is the original DS. It barely makes a third of the sales the 3DS does.
As long as you were in the shade your health should be regenerating.
Can't keep the original voice actor because of GRAFFIX. Man, what a great excuse.
Maybe I should release a video on why I won't buy this game, although it can be summed up in one sentence: No Ironside, no buy.
How about a list of which screenshot is using what mods? Pretty useless "article" without that.
Oh yeah the economy is so bad, that's why the 3DS is selling better than its predecessor. Maybe they should try getting some games that aren't ports, ports didn't help the 3DS and they aren't gonna help the Vita, yet half the Vita current and upcoming library currently consists of them.
No co-op no buy.
It will have an online pass. So I'll pass.
