“Mass Appeal to a large demographic” the game didn’t even sell a million copies. Does less than a million mean “a large demographic” for a AAA game?

“B” for me too. Although I played it for 100+ hours because I thought the story would get better. It didn’t. Why this game has any fans is beyond me. (I was talking about Chronicles, not X)

“If I were to describe my 70 hours with Xenoblade X in one word, it would be “boredom.” The main story did little to get me invested, the side quests were repetitive at best, and the combat was a painfully monotonous slog even with the advanced classes unlocked.” THANK YOU! although your review of the game sounds…

yay! who doesn't like character models from 1999!! oh the awesomeness of infinite side-quests for leveling up!! finding tiny little monsters that only appear under a full moon while its raining in july! I can't wait to waste another 100+ hours on my life on a rehashed story about humanity being recreated by a machine!

Please watch all of the chapters of the Nintendo history from "all your history are belong to us", watch and listen carefully, and tell me afterwards if you still think Nintendo's not to blame for alienating 3rd parties since day one. Please educate yourself a little. If you want more sources to confirm this, I'll…

Bad management structure and decisions is what killed Sega as a console maker, and its what alienated Nintedo since the 64 days, and its what will ultimately kill their console business. A bunch of stubborn japanese old farts who refuse to modernize Nintendo's offerings. At this point, they are relying ENTIRELY on…

PC MASTER RACE

Arguments like yours, which are very common in message boards, are always pointing towards the same goal: to justify FF13's poor quality, to excuse Motomu Toriyama from fucking up.

I agree with you but this subject is getting so fucking old, now every major studio has to make politically correct games to appeal ALL audiences and give up any notion of creative freedom, this really has gotten to the point of being utterly ridiculous,

I love how articles like this are slap in the face to all those pathetic Kojima haters out there. Everytime there's an article about an MGS game some loser comes in and says "Kojima is a fraud, I hate MGS, Kojima sucks, <insert random baseless hate comment here>, etc".

This article...This is how good Kojima is as a…

I see your point, but I also don't see any point in continuing an argument using your train of thought (no disrespect intended). I feel that you are somehow focusing on a lot of trivial/shallow aspects that never change (chocobos, cid, etc) but you are not thinking of all the important changes that make every final…

You are absolutely mistaken my friend. Final Fantasy changed A LOT from the 1st to the 13th. What drove it to the ground is the fact that they stuck to a formula that they thought "worked" because the first iteration of that new experiment sold well (FFX). And the only reason it sold so well was because it was riding…

same here, my gf is pretty, nerdy and tomboyish. girls like her should come by the dozen. f** the guys who feel intimidated.

I have over 100 games on my Xbox360 and PS3, but all I ever play is Dark Souls 2 on Xbox 360. Praise the Sun!!!!

http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/… its possible, all you have to do is go for it. These girls did it, many more will. One day there will be more games developed by women than men. What will not continue forever is absurd entitlement, or at least I hope so.

another chuck norris thumbs up from me!

That's what I keep saying, its not a political issue, its bad marketing. They are choosing to lose money, but its their choice.

The whole thing has been blown out of proportion. Feminists love to find "causes" or excuses to fight for "inequality", but truth be told this is the wrong place to do so, I mean, this is a videogame we are talking about, i.e. someone's creation, not a political debate or presidencial elections. Bad marketing? sure,…

yeah, these types of compliments are more of a comparison than an analogy, I feel it devalues Kojima's work and it distracts him from his true purpose. hopefully kojima's wise enough to not take these compliments too seriously or allow it to get to his head.

I really hope you are not calling Kojima "pretentious" but instead you are referring to Nicolas Winding. Kojima is awesome, he might not live up to all that boot licking he's been recently exposed to, but he is the best by far in many aspects of game design.
