I think, maybe, Endless Space isn't a very good game.

It just has a really, really, really, REALLY good, well-designed UI.

And since most strategy games, particularly those Paradox titles that have been so popular lately, tend to have really, really, really, REALLY bad UIs, it ends up seeming a lot better than it really is.

But Sony can be blamed for all the other stuff. The delays with PS1 b/c, the lack of Vita content on the PSN, and the complete absence of any game releases, retail or digital, throughout the ENTIRE month of July.

Which sounds pretty damn bad, but not quite incomprehensibly bad until you consider that the Vita is only getting 2 game releases in August, and only 2 game releases in September, and all of its October releases are clustered together on October 30th.

Except Oot3D isn't a re-make, it's a port. The only change made to the game was replacing the old textures.

If that was the most time-consuming element of the port, well, good news: MM re-uses a lot of OoT assets, so it shouldn't take as long to crank out MM3D.

But I have a feeling the most time-consuming aspect of a 3D port like this is, well, actually getting the whole two-perspective display for the camera and cut-scenes and all that. Well, may...

Yes, it means there's no support. Zero retail and zero digital releases = zero support. That's EXACTLY what it means. Why are you having so much trouble understanding this? Past release history has no bearing on this argument... only current release history.

Which is nonexistant.

And as for this fanboyish excuse that it's okay to temporarily abandon a console if it's summer... that's just absurd. I mean, christ, just think about it for a s...

You'd think Sony would recognize the fact that Vita gamers are a tad upset by the whole "no games in July" thing and maybe, just maybe offer them something--anything--on the PSN.

...But apparently not. Not only are we stuck with nothing new retail, we also get nothing from the PSN. Great show of support, Sony.

Those are wasted tears. Be thankful Vesperia got -any- localization, period. Instead of lamenting ports of games we've already had localized, maybe it's time to focus on trying to get new games localized?

Well, not that it matters. When it comes to Tales... and, well, most everything else, Namco-Bandai doesn't really pay any attention to the fans. Or common sense, for that matter.

Well, at least the rain ought to cut down on that witch infestation you've got.

Really looking forward to The Last Story. It's still on schedule for July, though? Last I heard it had a June release date, then got delayed and stuck in "TBA" territory.

That and Project Diva F are the two biggest games of the summer IMO.

What, no mention of the transexuals, whorehouse, implied sex with Tifa, or bestiality-rape with Aeris? Really?

Man, way to sugarcoat a seriously pornographic game.

Er... most of 'em still suck.

The posters are really nice, though. Much higher quality than any of the other crap they offer.

If there's not one every week, people might forget that there female characters in games can sometimes be physically attractive.

Mainly because these articles are poorly written, and generate hits stemming most from curiosity as to how and who is ranked.

If there was actually something to discuss... an issue with merit, you'd see the comment field explode as the children here attempt to articulate their opinions without substantiating them, like in all the other hitbaiting articles.

It wouldn't really work for the Trilogy proper, but The Hobbit could really make use of an open-world approach.

I've actually never had a Nintendo console break on me. Do they have a decent warranty process, or are they as bad about it as Sony and Microsoft?

I've had a launch PS3 break down twice in 2 weeks (about 5 years after launch), and a slim PS3 break after 1 week. Nothing beats my awful experience with Microsoft, though. I had two Xboxes break within DAYS of the warrant expiring, and my 360(s) broke like clockwork every 5 or 6 months until I finally gave up on the consol...

I'm not sure there are too many I'd describe as charming.

But, of course, if I had to name the single most charming scene in all of gaming, period, I'd have to say Link and Saria's farewell scene in Ocarina of time. That was... very well executed, and fit the whole theme of the game perfectly.

And second place would come just as easily: a number of tied scenes from Persona 4. Chie + Yukiko + Naoto = Love^3.

It seems pretty clear that most people think White electronics are sexier than black. Or grey. Or pastels. Apple proved that back in the day with the mac, and today almost every major electronic consumer product comes in stylish white.

Because, you know, it's sylish.

Why why no white PS3? Why no white Vita? Why no white 3DS? Do these Japanese companies think Western gamers will somehow confuse their game consoles with their tablets, ereaders, and laptops?...

An old opinion presented by a milquetoast writer. If you're going to go so far out of your way to make sure you don't defend DLC-lovers -or- DLC-haters, you're going to offend ME.

And another thing: don't write about this crap like these recent games are setting a dangerous precedent. The precedent was set. Years ago. This isn't an issue for tomorrow, or even today: it's yesterday's issue.

Yeah, it sucks. Yeah, it's a pain in t...

I agree with this.

Though I also think it needs to be said that whoever makes the next DBZ game actually needs to put some effort into it. Make the game's art accurately portray Toriyama's art. You can't do better than Toriyama, so don't ****ing try. Don't gimp the character roster. Don't half-ass story mode.

It's interesting that you'd point out NUNS. That's a perfect example of how to do a shounen fighter RIGHT, whereas t...

Misleading title. They're not commenting on a possibility, their firmly stating that there is -no- possibility.

Anyway, I don't mind being stuck with only English for The Golden. I would have liked to have Japanese, too, but the English dub is pretty damned good.

I disagree. I think the lack of Kain completely voids the writer's opinion. He clearly hasn't played enough games to formulate a mature opinion, and thus his article has all the worth of a ten-year old telling you what the best movie of all time is.
