You're right. Maybe a better word to describe the honesty with which this game approaches it's subject matter would be "pervy".

Don't tell me, tell Stephen! @stephentotilo

Continue to look out for Stephen's opinions on games. Know that he's a glass half full kind of reviewer, and know that he's always looking for the best in a game. This means that sometimes he's kinder to a game than the rest of the enthusiast press. It means that he sometimes recognizes merits that others leave…

Well, depends on the audience. For that Atlus enthusiast who appreciates Persona 4 as part of the larger Atlus catalog of weird SMT branded RPGs? No. Those people are wanting an entirely original Persona 5.

That's pretty freaking weird dude. Like... it talks like a child, it waves it's arms around like a child, but it spews philosophical meanderings about god and zero and ghosts. And apparently it's a tank for killing people.

So it's badass cyber cop with her posse of three little child voiced robots?

Excellent, just what Uncharted needed. This trailer looks darker and edgier than the old games. Too much humor, not enough revenge in this franchise says I.

God damn. I want the gameboy music NOW. I want the distinctive grinding pulse of the cave theme. I want the rival battle theme to be internally consistent again.

YOU CAN SWITCH? Dude, I JUST bought Heart Gold a week ago and I have been STRUGGLING with some of the remixes. Some of them are okay, one or two are good even (Ecruteak city is a standout) but there are an awful lot of these remixes are like crummy fan remixes. They just take the original tune and play each bar…

I really dislike Gen 4 pokemon games, but the music was pretty solid I remember! Jubilife City was a highlight.

Does anyone wanna expand on this at all? Pokemon music has a particular style and vibe, is the X and Y stuff actually remarkable within that particular space? I hadn't read anything pro or con about the music, which is kinda normal for Pokemon games. The music just doesn't seem to get a ton of attention.

Well that would be great for the Dark Souls crowd.

Off the top of my head there's those three, there's Bravely Default (JRPG, Square Enix), there's Mario golf, and there's an inevitable Monster Hunter 4 localization. Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney got confirmed a month or so ago too. And Professor Layton Azran Legacies? That's out in Europe this year but out in…

Indeed. In the finals he was broken and humiliated.

Well the betting odds were a 75/25 split with Jaedong as the favorite. I dunno who sets the odds mind, but that was the consensus. I mean, even the commentators were all up with their "I think sOs needs to find a way to get Jaedong off balance because sOs just won't win a straight up game where both players get to…

The commentators said that even taking second place, the guy has secured the most eSports money winnings ever. Of any individual. I don't feel bad for him, and I don't think he should feel bad for himself. Dude has been winning money all year and shows no signs of slowing. Good for him!

I'm not an avid Starcraft follower, but I really loved watching these finals because they were less dependent on the macro/micro skills and more on sOs totally getting into Jaedong's head. I can't appreciate how impressive Viper play in game one was because I don't struggle with that myself. sOs versus Liquid HerO…

I will be entertained! I look forward very much to playing Dota with all the scrubs busy in Diretide.

But as we see here, when he's out of town it's put under the oppressive fist of Nintendo of America employees (who, by the way, must have thought this was the weirdest job ever. "Go run after this 50 year old business man! But he's old, so don't go fast. But don't look like you're going slow if you can")

It's at times like this that I reckon Nintendo has the right idea. Their fans never act out like this because they know Nintendo doesn't give a fuck whether they act out or not. They don't respond to their players in forums, they don't kiss ass with talk about how important their player community is, and because of…
