CRank: 5Score: 21660

I mean, only an *88* and 6 perfect scores on Metacritic for the DS title they're complaining about? Come on, give me a break. What a bunch of chumps. Those guys couldn't design a good game to save their lives, am I right?

Tell us how you REALLY feel about Nintendo. Pretty soon Nintendo platforms are going to have only two things on them, Nintendo games and shovelware.

How bad would Atlus Japan be doing without Atlus USA's help? Atlus USA makes 3.9 million dollars last fiscal quarter, and over the last fiscal year Atlus recorded a 4 million dollar profit. It wonder if that remaining 100,000 for the fiscal year is thanks to Atlus Japan or is thanks to Atlus USA.

I wonder if Atlus USA's being run like a typical Japanese parent company runs their American branch, where the Japan office is butthurt that the Americans are actually making them tons o...

That this is a VGChartz patented "Roll 2d10" sales guess. These numbers, in all likelihood, have absolutely no bearing on reality.

Is wrong. It's 3.75/5, or 7.5/10, not 3.75/10.

Black wasn't great. The story was absolute GARBAGE, the non-skippable cutscenes were a travesty, that game's short as hell, and the last boss fight is one of the worst boss fights in a game I've played in a long time.

But, there was a decent core there. My greatest worry is that Shane Black doesn't seem to think that was the case at all, and honestly thinks he made the awesomest shooter of all time and won't fix any of the BS from the last game...adding his game to the pile of ...

And then threw 4 softballs in there so everyone would just assume cross-up was as stupid as the others.

However, it's the writer who's the idiot on that one. In basketball, when a player uses a cross-over to shake a defender off, the shaken off defender is referred to as being "crossed-up".

Because of the similarity of the two moves (you change directions on a basketball cross-over, in a fighting game, a cross-up attack crosses over to the other side) they...

Yup. I'll take a cheaper price point over "Collector's" pack-ins any time. (But especially in this crappy economy.)

No, you don't get it. They're wrong ALL the time. Period.

Modern Warfare 2 sells 7 million copies worldwide on launch day? No, it didn't. VGBSChartz were off by over *3 MILLION* copies.

Wii/PS3/360/DS/PC/PSP, whatever every single "chart" on that site is flat-out WRONG. I'm not saying your number doesn't apply because it's a high Wii number, it's wrong because it's from VGChartz.

Oh yeah, well, I just made up some numbers that said that they didn't sell 250,000 copies.

VGFlimFlamChartz are as accurate as rolling 2d10 and multiplying by 10,000.

I kind of agree with the original poster. I hear a pretty good mix of the loudmouthed little kids, and the older dudes trying to hit on every female voice that happens to come into the room.

I don't think it's necessarily a generational thing. The courteous people are going to be courteous at any age, the d-bags are going to be d-bags at any age.

If that is literally all he's alluding to, then:

1) Duh. It's common bloody sense that older people have slower reflexes.
2) Who pays people to make such blatantly obvious observations, and are they hiring?

But, I have a feeling he's trying to say that the industry's going to go towards catering to the foul-mouthed ADD generation, and the games that include the older gamers are going to die off.

Either that, or he's just stupid, and doesn't realize...

I'll be firing this up as soon as I get home.

Well, they used "disrupt", so you can be sure that they have no clue what they're talking about.

As opposed to rewarding the publisher who's taking a chance on bringing it over. I totally understand doing importing titles when they look like they aren't coming over, but when they do come to your region, you have to support the people bringing it to your region...

Or else they stop doing it.

I'm 35 and depressed, but I'm not fat.

I was going to write about how this would be fine if they guaranteed a shot at prizes, and then I realized that unless you were The One, you're generally only going to win something like 800 MSFT points, which is spending $15 to win $12.

So screw that.

You're based on VGChartz numbers, that makes you absolutely worthless.

When as far as I can see, the blame lies squarely at Nintendo's feet. Remember when the Dreamcast eventually went down? Well, do you remember what the software looked like? There was a distinct drop-off in quality from Sega titles to everything else. Even substandard stuff like All-American 18-Wheeler had better graphical tricks than some of the AAA-3rd party titles. It was pretty obvious that Sega wasn't sharing all the little tricks and tweaks they knew about on their own system so that the...

I experienced none of the frustration this guy had. I can understand why he'd be frustrated after doing that poorly, but after the admission of how poor his scores were, I'm sure this guy's at the very bottom of the leaderboards.
