At best, if there's no crossover at all, this means only HALF of the attendees--comprised of the most hardcore gamers in the country--own ANY current generation home console.

And this generation is more than a year in. So forget your childing console war masturbation for a moment: the key information to take away from this is that home console gaming is no longer to top dog it once was, and may never be again.

The Internet is a big place. This article should NOT have been approved since both headline and body text fail to specify which eshop.

Its the U.K. eshop, by the way.

I guess it wouldn't be N4G without the casual racism.

Its essentially equivalent to flying a NAZI flag to discuss current hardware sales in Germany.

I don't mind if you disagree with me, but at least behave with a modicum of courtesy. Only one of us is trolling here, and it sure as hell isn't me.

I love the hell out of Dark Souls and have tried to get into Demons Souls several times. I just can't. Maybe it's the claustrophobic level design, maybe it's the Mario 64 level hub (something I've never liked).

Last time I tried to get into it, after DS2, the thing that immediately threw me off was the godawful draw distance. Most of the difficulty seemed to come from the fact that the game wouldn't render anything further than a few meters from my charact...

2006-2008 was perhaps the worst period in gaming history. Well, modern gaming history. Maybe I should expand that to 2009 and 20010? My memory is hazy. All I know is that the first 3-4 years of the PS3/360 lifecycle was pretty crap for consoles, and pretty crap for PC too.

Yeah, it's a pretty bad year for the shiny new consoles. Nintendo's platforms are doing fairly well, though, and PC and PS3 have had absolutely stellar years--and it ain't over yet. Some of the biggest PC games of the year have yet to even land--Pillars of Eternity and Civilization: Beyond Earth.

Why do people keep saying, "main story?" Final Fantasy games have never had very much in the way of side quests or optional narrative content.

I wouldn't even consider getting it on PC, even if it were on a reputable distribution platform like Steam. After the last few Bioware games, I think resale potential is rather important.

Actually, you mean "phrase."

And "Could care less" is equally valid, due in part to its ubiquity, but also due to it's implicit meaning.

Also, random comments on the Internet fall into the "general speech" category, just like spoken dialog, and therefore is more malleable and accepting of colloquial and informal language.

You don't fit in well here, do you?

Suikoden VI for anything would be so nice.

Except for the most likely platform: F2P on iOS.

Not really. It's closer to $15, and you have to keep in mind that Japanese wages and salaries are much higher than in the United States, which is why their media (games, music, movies) typically sells at 200-400% it's cost stateside.

One of the big reasons for region-locking media in Japan is actually to prevent the Japanese from importing everything at a much-cheaper price from overseas.

Not so much a "problem" as a "fundamental flaw in Nintendo's approach to digital distribution & rights management."

There's really one one high point: the SNES generation, back when Nintendo had solid third-party support. Not only did Nintendo release some of the most innovative, timeless classics of all time in that era... but so, too, did countless third-party developers. Good lord, the RPGs or Platformers alone would cement this period as the as the peak.

Hell, I'd go so far as to say it was the high point of console gaming, period, thanks to the superior ability of the SNES to ...

Have to say, I expect more from Eurogamer.

"...Here is an abundance of features: you can quest with others in multiplayer, send letters, take screenshots and even drag larger monsters that you capture back to town for a bounty reward.

It's always "just one more track."

You'd be better off playing a game that aligns more to your tastes. Like Dynasty Warriors 8XLCE, Samurai Warriors 4, One Piece Pirate Warriors, DW: Gundam Reborn, Saint Seiya, Fist of the North Star, etc., etc.

Or waiting a bit for the Dragon Quest Musou game or new Bladestorm: 100 Years War remake.

Sounds more like Bioware or Square-nix.
