I feel the same, there have been a number of things about the art that have bothered me from the beginning, but I had hoped that over time they would be resolved. But as the teasers and trailers have continued, my worries have not been laid to rest. The section of the trailer 22 seconds in shows a lot of the issues I…

The thing is, they didn’t really see accurate numbers there. PS2 was not always online, and so their capability to get good data on how often the backwards compatibility was limited to whatever surveys they did. PS3 only had backwards compatibility for PS2 when the machine cost $600, which meant that very few people…

I don’t really understand this at all though. If they’re still putting up at least a game every month, why does this upset you? Because it doesn’t funnel people into playing a game that they might not like? Because to me that would be the worst situation, getting effectively nothing because they put up some miserable…

Except that the original explantion seemed to indicate that it wasn’t like the other services. It was them putting up one game with multiplayer that online subscribers could play for that month, and then at the end it went away. So if you didn’t play it, you’d come back to nothing. This new one at least looks like…

You’re ignoring the fact that despite that, they wake up somewhere. You’ve just decided that the character’s theory about them being dead is accurate in order to prove your argument. Hell, they could have ended up in an alternate universe and the series could continue on there. There are any number of narrative outs…

So you admit that there absolutely is an opening for the universe to have continued on and the series to have another entry. Speculation by characters is not canon just because you decide to believe the dead portion of the theory in order to damn the ending of the game. This is exactly what I was saying in my original…

All right Sqeenix, I’m all for the weird names you use for Kingdom Hearts because it’s Kingdom Hearts and at this point I expect it, but this time you guys had a perfectly fine title for a sci-fi fantasy game and then said “wait, we need to misspell this to sound interesting”, didn’t you?

I played the game literally 13 years ago, so forgive me if I might be fuzzy on the explicit details of the ending of a game which I all but forgot half of, and only beat once. Regardless, the fact that the main characters wake up somewhere at the end is evidence that at least some version of a universe still exists,…

I was going to say, if anything this means that the game will be delayed even farther out than anyone was expecting it. CC2 probably would have worked within their means to make as good a game as possible in a reasonable time frame; SquareEnix’s in house teams will drag things out chasing perfection where it doesn’t…

I still hope that one day they decide to put out HD collections of the two .hack series. The first one might be a bit rough and need to be cleaned up, but the second G.U. series would be perfect almost out of the box. Rerender the cutscenes, upscale the models with post processing to clean them up, and maybe clean up…

That is in no way true though. Assuming the universe that was the “game” survives, what prevents it from continuing along with life? There were only a select number of people who knew the truth about everything, and even if they chose to spread that knowledge with reckless abandon, there should still be a world set in…

I feel like a lot of the people replying to this article are doing so in what looks like a visceral emotional reaction that was set in concrete the first time they played it (likely as a child/teenager) rather than based on the actual ideas being put forward by the game’s ending.

Agreed, the adventures were a solid place for distributing cards that did not rely on RNG, and I’ve been seeing a lot of complaints the last few Heathstone expansions that it feels like it’s getting harder to collect all the cards from opening packs. Whether or not that is statistically true, it’s not good for player…

Let’s be honest here, you’re comparing new cards in Hearthstone to highly played cards from Modern or Legacy out of print expansions in MtG when referencing $120 for a single card. There has not been a card that has hit anywhere near $100 in standard for a long time now (I believe the last to get anywhere close was…

To be fair, Legos are damn near indestructible (to the point that they’re like caltrops to bare feet) so they could end up hanging around for several generations if you don’t throw them away. I can’t say the same thing about some of my other toys that were nearly/more expensive, but broke fairly quickly. The only…

The PS4 Pro, XBox One S, and Switch are effectively the current generation, and the Switch is debatablely the worst value given that the PS4's library is so vast and they just implemented the update to allow all games, not just those with PS4 Pro specific patches, to use some level of acceleration from the upgraded…

Well, the attached controllers and Nintendo IP being available are pretty much the only things differentiating this from an NVidia Shield with HDMI TV output, so I’d say the controller ergonomics are a pretty big deal in reviewing and recommending the thing, especially with many of the current Switch titles being…

It’s sad, but people don’t comprehend just how much a life-saving surgery can cost, and it can sneak up on you out of nowhere. Imagine this: you’re a 30 year old with no history of health issues beyond seasonal allergies. Over the course of a few months, suddenly you start getting progressively worse headaches until…

Among that fuckery, the republicans threatening to not pay for some of the things the ACA promised to help cover for in the years it was known that insurance companies would lose money before leveling out. They are doing everything in their power to try to make it fail and then pin the blame on the other party.

This... this might be a progressive enough gesture to convince me to buy a Switch.
