I am loving it only 30 minutes in (had to give up the TV to the wife). But it makes me feel like the old days!

When I think of all the classic RPGs that I had and never kept... damn! While the article is good, there is no Dragon Quest/ Warrior love. That makes me sad.

His name is Robert Paulson.

I am already looking back with fondness. Dragon Quest VIII being one of my favorite experiences on that system. And of course, on the NES it was Dragon Warrior... so that stands to reason.

Yeah, no ess. Why write an article about a bug only this guy experienced? I guess there always has to be that one guy that must hate something everyone else adores. Can't wait to read his bashing review of Ni No Kuni or has he already done that.

ARE YOU CLAIMING THAT THE PERSON RESPONSIBLE IS THE ONE THAT PULLS THE TRIGGER? Wha- wha- WHAT!?!!/sarcasm

Sorry about the caps, I didn't think common sense was so common. Gun control is like putting a bandaid on a severed arm. If you aren't going to take care of the problem then what is the point. Murder is already illegal.

Most humans know the difference between fantasy and reality. Your first sentence is part of their argument against video games: it assumes that video games are a problem if children are not taught differently. The fact is the index crimes (rape, murder, assault, robbery, theft) are all on the decline in the united states and have been for almost 15 years. Our crime rates for the index crimes are as low as they were in the 1960s (fbi.gov).

You are being manipulated by a m...

Before Video Games were on the Hitlist, it was Dungeons and Dragons. Before that, it was rock music, before that blues, before that Jazz (or maybe jazz came first) before that Ulysses by James Joyce... popular media, in whatever form, is most likely to get blamed. This is nothing new.

It is definitely worth playing. I loved it. If you are into the series, you will love the game. If you aren't, you will love the game. I clicked here because it was a review for a game that has been out (and completed by many) for months.

All right, fair point. Can you find me an article that has an official MS or Sony statement regarding used games in next gen consoles?

The "bullet commercial" was all done with the game engine in real time.

Already prebought this one. Color me excited.

The funny thing is that Valve does not make trilogies. Find me one true trilogy by Valve... DOTA 2. Half Life 2. Team Fortress 2. Portal 2. Left 4 Dead 2...

You aren't going to get one. Although, I wouldn't put it past valve to release a game entitled "3" just to eff with us.

To all of those getting Demon's Souls...see you in a few months!

Not to be rude but this was 2nd on the list when I searched. Of course, the opposite is true as well: Can you provide an official MS or SONY statement confirming that they WILL block used games. SONY and MS both have patents that they never intend to bring to fruition. Owning a patent doesn't precipitate its i...

Except that Gareth is not aware that SONY and Microsoft and Nintendo are not doing this.

Except SONY came out and said they aren't blocking used games for the PS4.

I would rather have a Star Wars XCom style game. How sweet would that be?
