It doesn't have anything to do with it. That was just one of the several ways to differentiate between the new Devil May Cry and the old Devil May Cry. I didn't want to use the titles because they did that super dumb DMC versus DmC thing. But the point stands.

Huh! That's a game that hasn't sold particularly awesome, and didn't get a lot of coverage around the enthusiast press. I'm surprised and pleased to see someone talking about it. What drew you to the game? To what sort of person would you recommend it?

Because it's entirely impossible that somebody fully understand the mechanics of both Japanese and English Devil May Cry and decide that the combat system developed in England is more to his liking? The only way that could happen is if someone were so base, so unrefined as to not be able to comprehend fully the…

Well generic support conversations are a pretty big problem, but they are not the only things. The game is stupid hard. Like, super duper hard. And this does have an upside. The story follows a resistance movement being hunted by the big bad empire. Standard stuff... but in this game you really FEEL like the…

I think the best game I've played this year is Fire Emblem: Awakening. It's that rare game that goes both broader in making the game accessible to more people, and also deeper offering more tactical considerations for veterans. In our modern era of casual games versus core games, 'kiddy' Nintendo, shorter and…

This is a cheap spinoff game, but it's priced as a cheap spinoff game. There's a place in the world for $10 games. I think that the content in this easily justifies that price. There's an awful lot of levels in here, even before the stage creation and sharing features.

I just gave in and played it steering with the face buttons. Probably the worst version of that control scheme, but I had done so much Metroid Prime Hunters controlling that way already that I've sort of adapted.

Neither does he. In the video tour I watched he showed that the game has an awful lot of content for the price and a good solid gameplay system it builds around. The impression was positive.

Lucky for you I am a NERD and can fill you in on all these topics:

They were going to release Persona 5 and then realized that it wasn't fair to make Persona 5 before SMT 4. I mean, SMT folks have been waiting for 9 years since SMT 3 and it's only been 5 since Persona 4.

Kinda depends on how deep you want to go. Writing letters is one of several things a player can do to manipulate the happiness of town residents, and their happiness in turn can change a few other variables. I think that attaching a present to the letter also affects that stat in some way? But it needs to be a…

I can understand that. I can even agree with that. I think the mistake is to apply that feeling to the entire game. You're playing a 'lesser' version of DLC pack 8. That's not a big deal. Just play the regular game. Maybe play 6 of the other DLCs. Considering the WEALTH of content available, it's hardly as…

Japan has a very big problem with the lolicon-loving otaku?

They... aren't necessarily trying to shake that perception dude. They are actually working very hard to protect that perception. They make a TON of money from being the safe family friendly option.

Really? Missing a bit of ass in the eighth of the optional DLC packs is such an affront to you that the game no longer holds any appeal? I don't understand. If you object to how Nintendo of America is handling this piece of content (which in itself is a bit silly, who cares if there is or is not visible anime ass?)…

Your point is well taken. Coming less than a week after the whole deal worrying over the girls in Dragon's Crown, I don't think anyone should be surprised that a company as conservative as Nintendo decided to throw a little curtain in there to play it safe.

Yes. People should be grateful that Fatal Frame IV was never localized. We would have gotten it with no blood, no dying, and a popup warning before every ghost encounter warning people given to seizures not to freak out.

Yeah, kinda. Not all Fire Emblem DLC is created equal. Some of it is just optional maps for grinding or retro characters or new classes (as if we needed more). That's not the cool DLC. But there are also a couple DLC sets where they actually cook up a hypothetical storyline and have a mini story arc they go…

NO NO NO no fucking no fucking no fucking. Not in our games! Our games are fun for everyone!

Yeah, it is a little strange that the adult ass is more of a problem than the tarted up little kid. I blame TLC and their program Toddlers and Tiaras.
