I don't understand why Capcom didn't just go the service route if they wanted to curb piracy. Yeah, pirates can crack the SP, but it's usually an entirely different prospect when you want to play online with others.

Personally, I'd rather have this on console anyway because I haven't had any good experiences sans FFXI with PC support for Japanese games. The sting of Silent Hill Homecoming and Phantasy Star Universe still lingers among others.

Good.

Why is it games get treated like the smelly end of entertainment? Kids can experience violent films, violent TV, violent books, violent music, but suddenly for games we need state legislature? Bull.

Good graphics, but it looks very bad on gameplay. I'm surprised they didn't port MGS Mobile instead. That thing is awesome for a mobile game.

@PirateThom: You don't know it's coming to PC and 360? This was reported almost a full year ago.

"We haven't announced plans for timing on Mass Effect 2, period, so at this point we're not really ready to talk about it, but because we've got a really great PC fan base we think it's really important to deliver the PC experience as quickly as possible. Look for more news on that soon" -Senior Manager, Matt Attwood on behalf of Bioware

I don't think the guy's totally wrong at all. Although it's a stupid trend, you can't deny it's allure to devs. Especially with rampant piracy these days. But the thing is, while new IPs might strive for that business model, we'll still have plenty of established single-player franchises to play around with.

I don't think we'll see MGS, GoW, Fable, Ninja Gaiden, Tomb Raider, Legend of Zelda, etc. gimping modes for the sake of community any time soon.

If you made your account to perform ironic comedy, I applaud you.

You can believe what you want, but I have a huge problem with you playing down the work talented devs have already put into the 360.

No big titles? Wtf is that? You're advocating against your own console.

I didn't enjoy Anchorage at all. I hope this is better than.

BoFIV over III? Never heard that one. *shock*

I can't name too many Sony RPGs I'd like to see sequels of. The only two that spring to mind are Dark Cloud and Wild Arms. Stuff like Rogue Galaxy and LoD don't really need sequels imo. I can't understand how anyone ranks those games more than average.

My first thought before reading the article was Kratos on the drums.

But, I guess this game could be good. Kinda hard to tell with such a bare bones description and one screen cap. Video is a must.

Hey, thanks. I know tons of people who hate on FF9 for the art style alone, as idiotic as that sounds. You sir, are a person of fine judgement and character so +bubbles

I don't think so. FF franchise has always had its hits and misses. I mean 2 gens ago the popularity of the JRPG surged with FF7 so of course everyone thought the games were the best even if looking back from now they seem less than (I'm looking at you FF7). FF8 had a pleasing love story overall, but the battle system was a total joke. Imo, FF9 was probably the best of the three to come out since it delivered wholly on story, gameplay, and pleased a lot of long time fans with its numerous all...

Oh yeah, I hate the prospect of having 50 Cent in my game. But so too was I less than thrilled at the prospect of controlling faux Vin Diesel in Butcher Bay. But that turned out excellent thanks to talented devs, so lesson learned.

I suppose my real question is whether this Swordfish Studios can pull off the same kind of upset.

It actually mentions Killzone 2 in regards to the early 64-man multiplayer rumours and how reviews which contain that kind of false information aren't wholly credible. But I still don't see how that's some kind of shot at the PS3. I think you're way off base in calling the article biased, dagreatest.

Biased reviews didn't all of a sudden become relevant with the advent of KZ2. This happens with practically every game with any sort of comparable hype. Yeah, even Halo 3. I'm not re...

Who cares? FFXIII has taken its sweet time from the get go. Let them delay it till next gen for all I care. I'll get it when it comes out, but the moment of anticipation has passed, tbh.

I wish these things would go away. I do not want to use cutesy approximations of my glorious visage to engage in petty antics with the masses.

I only have one that matters and that's Heavy Rain. The rest are just bonus.
