I'd like to re-iterate that I personally have no problem with MM and I think it's a great game. I was making a comment about how mixed the fan reception was when it first came out, not trying to claim that I thought it was a bad game.

I wasn't talking about critics. You're right, they've always loved it. It's the fans that were not sure what to think initially, thus my comments specifying the fans and not the critics. :D

Something I think a lotta folks forget is that when Majora's Mask first came out it really was not at all a run away hit by the standards of Zelda, and a fair amount of fans were honestly upset with it because of the large tonal differences. Is it a horrible game? Of course not! That being said it's only within the…

actually to me this seems kind of reminiscent of the "scrolls" lawsuit Bethesda filed at notch a few years back. When all was said and done it became known that essentially Bethesda's lawyers had told them that if they didn't file a suit they could potentially lose rights to the elderscrolls trademark, and that…

I have to disagree with you there. Gen 1 looked absolutely amazing as far as original GB titles went, and also was one of the only games to take full advantage of the supergameboy accessory, with insanely vibrant pallets covering the majority of the artwork when plugged into said accessory.

This is true. The pokemon series has been graphically behind it's time for some time now. That being said, although I haven't straight out heard this from an official source or anything I've always figured that part of the reason they're so simplistic graphically is because they're trying to fit so effin' much into…

I think that the release of older jrpgs on pc will stay very limited, but I would not be at all surprised if going into this newer console generation we see a lot more jrpgs being released for the platform, simply because the PS4 and the X-Box one are both using an extremely pc like architecture, which will make it a…

Yes? Wait, do you mean if they gave them scores, or if they DIDN'T give them scores, because I can imagine both, and both happen. O.o

Absolutely none so far! It is fun though.

So apparently there is a Nyarko-chan game coming out for the vita in Japan. That slightly scares me.

It's the American court system. There's a lot of stupid crap going on with it. The idea though is not about Madden, but rather about the fact that it's the only NFL themed video game in general. That's why they say it has the monopoly.

Actually Squaresoft's long running retranslation of Ifrit's summon ability (hellfire) was Flames of Gehenna. In case you don't know, Gehenna is the Jewish hell.

Worry not, good sir, the full game will be more like some ungodly spawn of eve online and one of the old Star Wars flight sims. This is just what is essentially absurdly early alpha code for the free roaming foot based exploration. The devs have specifically said that in a normal situation this code would be so…

I understand what you and others are saying, but you do realize that that's the exact thing that the author said, and if you'd bothered reading the entire article you would have found this:

funny thing is, all my friends who own vitas (and being as my friends are either military with huge amounts of disposable income, or college students with no financial sense that's a fair amount of them) buy games through the PSN. I've never met someone with a vita who buys the physical games.

If you have not already I'd highly suggest you take a look at chipzel if you enjoy any type of electronica. She's kinda grouped in with video game composers because she uses a gameboy as her instrument of choice and she's composed music for one video game (super hexagon), but in all actuality she is an insanely…

bad joke. Very bad joke.

I read his statement as being "If he was in the HD remake, which will feature online multi-player, I think you'd be stomped using him."

I understand what you're saying, but I'm not sure what relevance it has to the article. This was a blurb for a physical set that's potentially going to get made as a limited run, not a video game in the works.

This is kinda interesting to me, because I played the 3DS versions of Skylanders (as well as the console versions) and they're actually pretty dern great. Completely different games, yes, but I'd argue that the handheld versions are more of a challenge and slightly more aimed at an older audience.
