Exactly my thought. I almost wanted to make a point to mention that what he's complaining about is 90% of all games made today, just minus the death animation and continue screen.

Getting sent back to the start of a long, involved platforming section and needing to do it all again doesn't count as "dying?" I remember some of the absurdly long action segments near the end-game were challenging as shit and making a single mistake meant a re-do on sometimes extremely long sections with no respite,…

Horrible? What you talking about? That was the best POP since Sands of Time.

That's okay. I think they lost their way with the one after POP '08 (which was fantastic) anyway so a little break can only be a good thing.

Epic Citadel Shows Mobile Gamers Just How Pretty The Right Hardware Can Be

That doesn't sound all that outlandish at all, and bet that could be pretty tasty especially with some jalapenos.

I'm sure there's a spider living in my 360. There's spiders living every-damn-where else in my apartment. Almost had a spider burn my apartment down when it bridged an electrical connection inside a space heater causing an arc and catching the plastic fittings on fire.

I agree with this. But not just because of the broken Junction system. VIII was just simply a weak game I never even felt compelled to finish. For FF, that's a rare feat.

XIII is still better than I, II, III, and VIII

I only glanced at the vid and watched it muted as I can't have sound at the moment so pardon if this is mentioned in the vid, but this is the kind of granularity we'll need in rendering to ever be able to have truly convincing organic emergent systems. It's not only desirable for game systems advancement, but…

Hope you'll pick up the books at some point. Just the merit of being more fleshed out really helps make the story that much stronger. Less tits just for the sake of tits, too.

Yup. Should have been this one.

There seem to be a lot of convenient problems surrounding the distribution of this title. Wonder what a little in-depth investigation is going to eventually turn up.

This comment makes no sense.

So the person with a negative impression of the game is the troll, not the person making passive insults?

Yep, you said it. Online-only killed all desire for me as well, and you know problems are inevitable.

Honestly for its time I thought it was quite lovely. It's suffering on account of being so low-res compared to all the other screencaps on this page IMO.

Not for picking tech. The reference chart for Civ II was a tree, but it was on a fold-out poster!

Endless Space 2. It's no-nonsense in presentation, but the emergent patterns in the branches are lovely, IMO.
