This is such a common thing and it's so easy to explain that I don't even get why bloggers talk about it anymore.

Sure, but I've spent hundreds of hours building up my parties in the various Disgaea games, and there my effort is worthless.

That's a natural side effect of adding human eyes to what used to be an automated process. Believe me, I've been there before... I was part of a forum staff that started having a rather significant invasion of spam bots and we had to come up with counter-measures to that which involved screening by hand. It sucks.

The approved users system is not the starred users system. It isn't about trying to limit visibility of people who have differing opinions from Kotaku staff or even inflammatory and immature opinions, it's strictly about preventing abusive use of the commenting system such as posting shock images and payed…

The preorder bonus should be a diabetes pamphlet. You probably need one if you are the kind of person who would preorder donuts.

At least they didn't mention something like an exclusive Slimer Donut (or sprinkles DLC) for preordering.

Oh, also, go play Resonance of Fate. It's... an entire JRPG that takes place in a dystopian city with a huge class based society where the city's wealthiest residents live at the top level while the lower level residents live closer to the bottom.

I feel the same way when I play any Disgaea game (other than the first), but for some reason raising some number strictly so that I can slap down other things with other ever increasing numbers with less difficulty is addictive.

You could say the exact same thing about them having an identical roster. Maybe what he really meant is just that every character in the 3DS version will be in the Wii U version. We won't know until it's out... let's just say for now that it seems like their intentions either weren't stated as they really were or…

To be fair, Sakurai said lots of things. Like that we shouldn't expect much expansion of the roster in the first place for instance, but the actual count of characters ended up being roughly the same as the jump from Melee to Brawl.

The work of Jonny Barry, he's actually made ten pairs of these, which he'll be selling for (those not familiar with custom sneakers may want to avert their eyes) $950.

You know what I think? I think a remake shouldn't try to do all of the stupid crap that makes the Final Fantasy games developed lately take so damn long to complete. There was never anything wrong with the pre-rendered backgrounds in Final Fantasy 7 aside from maybe a handful of areas where things weren't visually…

Everything changed when the Beyonce Nation attacked.

Who knows, maybe in the future they'll even add the following:

When you consider that Trunks was older in the future timeline than he was when the whole Buu thing happened in the main timeline, it seems that Buu was a nonfactor for some reason. It doesn't prevent Bulma from acquiring time lord status like the theory proposes

And your first sentence doesn't say anything to contradict the claim I made that you mentioned in the second sentence. No one here is arguing that completely unique characters don't add more value than clones or even that time spent adding clones wouldn't be better spent working on more unique characters even if it…

Theory falls apart when you remember that Dr. Gero's ridiculously super-powered androids were only able to be made because he was studying Goku and everyone he fought with the whole time.

Little work for even less value than what exactly? There was no context to set you up for that sentence.

Even if the character select screen didn't have any physical space, rearranging a character select screen is piss-easy in the grand scheme of things :P

Because making 10,000 Mario variants is a lot of work for little added value. As opposed to you know... little work for some value.
