Yeah, I'm not holding my breath, Tsurumi-san.

Cue the Collectivists calling in the Social Worker Brigade to steal this child away from a light-hearted and obviously loving father in 3.....2....

Someone please kill Lightning. Please. No more yandere bitches in mah gaemz pls.

Yes, because I'd rather that SE gets the slap in the face they have been needing since XII, than they go ahead and morph one of the last remaining Core JRPG franchises into another Americanized Action-RPG clone.

[*cough*XIII-3*cough*XII*cough*XV*cough*]

Won't happen. Nintendo owns them lock, stock, and barrel for a few years now.

Don't do it, Wiseman. For the sake of JRPGs, XV must not succeed, or it'll teach the execs to do nothing but make action-RPGs instead of Core RPGs.

Here's the thing: If XV succeeds, then the mutant freakshow with no turn-based combat at-all will be what they think they need to make. That'll be the final nail in the coffin of the pure JRPG, rather than the J-Action-RPG.

They can make it as ritzy and neat as they like, but I'm damn well not putting an always-connected, easily-remote-enabled nudie cam and microphone in my living room when it's produced by a company who were more than a willing lapdog in the PRISM program, among others.

Nobody thought of Charizard?

Santa brought me that one, but I got Dig Dug instead of Super Mario Bros. 2 on account of me being 6 at the time and mis-informing Santa and Mrs. Claus as to which one it was at Toys*R Us.

Grim Dawn is looking freaking fantastic.

That's so Meta....

Unfortunately, many people prefer faux choice over actual choice, and even prefer faux choice over linearity with a better story.

This really pisses me off.

They should start by not blowing up Theramore or summoning
crazy god avatars.

What the fuck were they supposed to do with the leftover orcs once the portal was blown up and they had nowhere to go?

Let them run free in the fields like puppies to James Taylor and Howie Day songs? Green, bloodthirsty, killed-my-momma puppies?

Holy shit, that's a pretty good launch day!

Really? My friend bought a Plasma last year and had UI Burn-in from paused games within 3 months. And it was a brand new model.

Also: Great job on ad hominem!

I would counter that Plasma is not the best tv you can get, purely for burn-in tendency and power consumption.

"So, if you spend $400 on the PS4, $250 on the Vita, $80 on a nice router, and $40 each on a couple of nice repeaters, THEN it can do what the Wii U can do? Got it. ;)"
