I assumed it was a Final Fantasy caliber game. Instead, TLR was unfinished garbage. I'm tired of status-quo JRPGs. I'm staying away from Star Ocean and, from the looks of it, FF13, too. Square is dead to me.
PS3 sales were slow and it was difficult to program. The 360 sold well and came out a year early. The Japanese market is the weakest of the big three.
Square could not wait for the PS3 to gain market share. The history of game consoles is that they change hands often. Square could not gamble by betting on the 3rd iteration of Sony's console.
JRPGs are old-school. That's why. If Japan made a game of the same innovation as Mass Effect, sales would be far better on any system.
Punisher95 never used Xbox Live. The same is true for the guy who wrote the blog.
We get a great service. It's like cable vs broadcast. Broadcast is "open" and free, but it lacks features and channels. Cable is "closed" and has many channels and many features (like on-demand).
The combat and graphics were very good. I hate QTEs, though. I expected a far less polished game, but the demo delivered.
Just a few ticks of either will do.
Home is a game without combat. It's no different than the Phantasy Star Online lobby.
It's way too early to show MGS5. (Unless they bang out a quick sequel)
If anything, this is a clerical error. They happen all the time with all companies.
Or, it's a photoshopped image.
Online is too convenient.
Here's a good analogy:
Nintendo = Dunkin Donuts
Sony = Starbucks
Microsoft = McDonalds
They all sell coffee.
Dunkin Donuts has been doing it forever and struggles to adapt to market trends, but has survived. Starbucks came in and broadened the market with trendy gormet lattes. McDonalds, having defined "fast food", has just entered the gormet latte market, selling lattes for half the price of Starbucks.
There is a balan...
Don't pay attention to the review score, either. Read the whole review. Final Fantasy always scores higher than it deserves.
Stay away from The Last Remnant. It is awful.
The Last Remnant is an unfinished game. I have never returned a game in my life until I bought this one. After about an hour of load screens and map navigation, I returned the game, losing 30 bucks in the process.
Frame rate issues, text dialogue, bad camera, and poor animations, too.
I've lost all faith in Square Enix.
What does "brokeback" mean, anyways?
The 360 is the number 1 platform for game sales. More than PC (if you exclude WoW or the Sims). So, Id must support the 360, or lose most of their sales potential.
Video game violence: Nobody is hurt when violence is portrayed. The player will likely sympathize with the one being hurt.
Video game nudity: Seeing nudity out of context of normal life tempts the player to seek it in real life.
He looked like a 40 year old high-school bully (who never left high-school). He did not look like a menace to society.
