EA is the #1 video game killer. hehe
Having knowledgeable, fact-based reporting is the antithesis of Fox News policy.
I wanted to play this for myself, but my oldest daughter is all over it. I just have to enjoy it vicariously through her for now.
The rock was probably the worst weapon in a video game ever. heh. It would lob over everything's head. Who planned that trajectory? lol
Friday the 13th was fucking awful. Did you even play it before putting it on the list? Ugh.
Man, that really sucks. I have Borderlands 2 on PS3, but I really feel bad for the 360 players who this is affecting. :\
I'm partial to agree with you. Your assertion seems sound enough.
Pachter also opposes labor unions at game studios, which I strongly disagree with. If they had union representation, Jason West and Vince Zampella wouldn't have been fired from Infinity Ward or taken advantage of by Activision. All workers, regardless of wage, should be entitled to proper representation to protect their rights.
I had a friend still playing Final Fantasy XI on his PS2 until early this year. I'm not sure, but doesn't that mean that the infrastructure for the PS2's limited online capabilities were still intact, or did you connect directly to a Final Fantasy server for that game? You might know.
If it was through PS2 infrastructure, and it was still active for that long, that would indicate to me that Sony isn't going to abandon a much larger [than FF XI's] user-bas...
Totally objective reviews are hard to accomplish, and regardless of how fair and balanced you try and be, someone is always going to be unhappy. It's just important to remember that a review is one person's perspective, and reviews should be a guideline, but not the standard, by which one buys games.
Most ratings systems are fundamentally broken anyway. People tend to view 5's or other mid-line scores as a "bad" score, instead of what it should be – mid...
You know, when I was a kid, Unagi the Eel from Mario 64 terrified me. I think it should be on the list.
Another example of writing before research.
Thanks for saving me the time. :)
I love how people "disagree" with entirely factual, indisputable statements made on here.
"The sky is blue."
DISAGREE! :P
More cowbell.
He's mostly right. There have been many times where the only game I wanted to play is one that isn't coming out for months, and sometimes the anticipation really affects my judgement; it will lead to me trying to "get my fix" with any games remotely similar.
When I first started reading about Ni No Kuni, I couldn't wait for it to come out – so to tide me over, I started to pick up any JRPG which looked remotely similar, regardless of that 22% Metacritic...
To quote Omar, the incredible character from The Wire:
"Indeed. Oh, indeed."
Quetzll: Did you ever wonder why, on the U.S. Chrono Trigger box art, Marle (Nadia) was shooting fire from her finger? That bothered me endlessly as a kid. lol
I'm holding out for a $600 replica of the Normandy's elevator, personally.
Does it have a crash feature like old Burnout games? If so, i'll be leaving for the store immediately!
