Kingdom Hearts has a strong emphasis on tying basic combat mechanics and new skills together: throughout the course of the game, you pick up more abilities, but regardless of whether you use them or not, Dodge Roll, Block and basic combos are still sufficient enough to help you win in most circumstances.

That is a terrible idea. I liked the cast of characters that Tetsuya Nomura introduced to us in the Versus XIII trailers and I don't think he would be very supportive of Square Enix trying to shoehorn them into his baby.

Maybe Pulse is a boil on the back of a Square Enix executive's ass.

I whole-heartedly support this.

Not sure if joking or serious.

Single-player combat doesn't necessarily resolve to the next IP being a first-person shooter, guys. I think it'd be pretty cool if they could embrace the fantasy genre in their next IP by doing something along the lines of a GoW or DMC game. I'm not saying it would be automatically amazing, but in a world populated…

I'm appalled. Insulted, even. If this is all Capcom has to offer for Mega Man's 25th anniversary, then it's done. The series is fucking -done-. They could have called IntiCreates and asked them to develop a 25th anniversary game and it would have been totally okay with me. I would be ENTHRALLED to have a decent Mega…

Nice steal from Straw Hat!

I agree, I'd keep her ... tied up and in a closet.

If it was like Pokerus, everyone else would want it. Your simile is flawed.

Because it's more prevalent than most other references out there.

-Technically- they have, but in the Amalgam series. I'm not sure if a more legitimate crossover exists.

Best idea ever. Except for the fact that only two GamePads can be hooked up at a time.

She lost the will to live?! What you got? A degree in poetry? You sorry bunch of hippies! For god's sake don't use the billion dollars of medical equipment! Let's all just get on our knees and pray! We don't have knees you motherfuckers!

Whoa, whoa. That's utter bullshit. I think you need to prove that you've actually played any of the games leading up to Super Mario Galaxy, because most of the games they have released /are/ different, functionally, in some way than the last. Most older gamers don't appreciate the gimmicks, but to say they've been…

He was in all three, dude. He was the wrestling announcer in the first one.

Very eloquently put. I couldn't have said it better myself.

That is a fair point, I've only bought, perhaps, four games in the past year, only two of which I'd want a physical copy of (Disgaea 3, which isn't even a 2011 game, and Ocarina of Time 3D). I can't make a case for other games, because I don't buy as many games as I used to. There's not a lot out there for me.

I don't think you've seen Agnis' Philosophy. Not saying it's the benchmark for Squeenix's next huge title, but the animations - mocapped, most likely - are clearly leaps and bounds ahead of anything else.

Which is absolutely terrifying for those who like the concept of ownership. It's one thing to be able to download a game through a service and have access to it on the harddrive, it's totally another to be given temporary access to a game on another harddrive through a service that may or may not be around forever.
