You are dead on about RPGs. Another example of relevancy is fighters. A major reason why fighters were popular in the 90s, is that it was the only genre where you had fully detailed people.

I've tried RTS on consoles, but I couldn't get into them. I never finished Halo Wars, and I'm a huge Halo fan.

I think Patcher is right. PC gamers are a different market from console gamers.

Don't worry. People won't buy short games. Replay value is key. He did not cite a source of his "only 5 percent of people finish games".

For some reason, the Japanese developers enjoy contrived difficulty. No save points and constant failing health are not fun.

The video game industry in Japan is like tha American auto industry in the 80s. Japan is complacent using 15 year-old ideas.

The only thing we know about Bobby Kotick is that he is a business man that likes profit. So, if you're going to "hate" someone, maybe you should get to know him first.

At Square Enix, originality died about 15 years ago.

Sex in video games is a temptation.
Violence in video games is an illustration.

That's why seeing nudity is worse than seeing a bloody headshot.

The girl is free to petition for or against any game for any reason. Also, there is such a thing as right and wrong. It is wrong to make a game that glorifies rape.

I think the confusion in some of the comments is the role of government. Many of you assume that she wants to censor the game via the government. But, she was not doing that. She was simply voicing her opinion and getting support via her friends.

There is nothing more beautiful than a woman. This game has scantily clad women and therefore contains beauty. Where am I wrong?

Lost Odyssey sticks to the traditions of random battles, and turn-based combat, but it is still an amazing epic JRPG. It's equal to or better than any FF game. It's certainly better than FFXIII.

Mistwalker is investing in an epic JRPG for the Wii. That will be the last game that Mistwalker will make.

For all of those that want to play a real FF game, buy LO. It's the best JRPG this gen.

Miranda is beautiful. That list was not very good. There are plenty of uglier characters. Let's start with Oblivion.

Don't expect to get any better treatment by preordering at Gamestop. It's first-come first-serve, regardless of preorder.

There were plenty of explosions at a distance, and the rate stayed at 30fps. Only when the explosion filled the screen, did the rate drop.

So, this could mean that the frames dropped during compression since there is more change to the whole scene.

"Halo Haters" are either PC gamers or PS3 gamers.

Publishers needs to do thier homework, too. Many bad game developers can't find publishers. The reason is that their game is bad. Square Enix needs to be more like Capcom and less like Sega.

Square Enix is doomed.

Square Enix makes 7s. They're the new Midway.
