I like FFXV and even Platinumed it. The problem with FFXV is that some of the changes are quite impactful. For example, the ability to change the character you control other than Noctis? That’s a pretty big deal and changes the whole gameplay. I mean it’s good that they added those new features, but it sucks for…

While your suggestion is realistic, I don’t think it will work well with gameplay and fun factor. Mainly because you are designing a mechanic based too much on penalizing the players. It can quickly become an annoyance that you need to avoid hitting those crucial parts, and instead always try to hit the same place…

I am about the same age as you but probably less mature than you back then. In retrospect, I agree that the motivation of Sephiroth really isn’t compelling. As for Cloud, well the game was targeted for teens, so a protagonist with teenage angst is pretty much expected especially during that era, that didn’t bother me…

I hope you will interview Kan Gao one day and include his development story in your next book (DLC or sequel).

“Learn about real world diseases and injuries and how to diagnose and cure them”. This quote is on their official website so I doubt there will be any humor. Personally I don’t mind it and still excited for this game, maybe people should bug EA to make a true successor if they prefer the humor. In before special…

I thought it’s something like a sequel to Oh My Goddess!.

OK, I appreciate that you try to analyse these things, but unlike Kojima’s case I think Harada is obviously joking and just came up with anything on his mind at that moment. Sanox’s post pointed to this as well, http://kotaku.com/1796656227

Satou looks too young.

Yes! Other than the camera angle, Witcher 3 also did very well at posing their characters while having a conversation. You see Yen sitting on a barrel crossing her legs while chatting casually, or a character walking down the stairs while talking to Geralt. It’s done so well and adds so much to the experience, in…

Oh crap, I just saw other comments already explained to you the differences between Boost & Pro modes. Anyway, I think you are oversimplifying system and game design. I can guarantee you that no developers will waste their time and effort to cater for future non-existing/conceptual hardware even if Sony would have…

Well actually no, the higher powered system can be utilized even without activating the boost mode. With the PS4 Pro, Sony is giving choices to the developers and the players. Devs can now utilize the full extra power of Pro if they choose to. You can see this implemented properly in Rise of the Tomb Raider, where…

They held it back because there is a possibility that boost mode can cause compatibility issue. People really don’t want this kind of issue when launching a new product. Even now, the option has a warning that asks you to turn it off if it causes problem with your game.

Seems like they didn’t bother to test the Western version. I played the Asia version where circle is interact/confirm, jump is still X on Chocobo, so I have less problem with these issues but I do agree on the terrible map UI.

Wait, are you telling me FFXV doesn’t auto-save periodically? I haven’t played it.

And also this “If Sony still thinks people don’t believe the PS4 Slim model exists, it can only be because they think their audience are idiots” WHAT?? Why would she said that, the PlayStation event is coming like in a week, why do you think they need to comment on anything at this point?
TBH, she is quite selfish for…

Good thing nowadays email services like owa outlook provides warning when you try to send an email without attaching anything, by detecting the keyword “attach”. I thought that was a smart and simple solution.

lol I know right, 70% of the comments is going to be about how the CG animation and frame rate sucks.

Exactly, the fight scenes in DBS are uninspired and bland, it is lacking good composition and fight poses most likely because there are no manga reference for the animators. However, the story did get better after Freeza resurrection saga and I am also enjoying it.

It is strange that CDPR’s own store GoG still does not have full regional pricing (not just EUR,USD,GBP), wonder if they are still working on it. I’m glad that they were able to sell Witcher 3 via Steam with lower price in my SEA region.

I believe I have acrophobia too, it really really sucks, high places get my palms soak in cold sweats and you get that bad tingling sensations over the lower part of your body, almost crippling. It is terrible for people who likes travelling, plenty of places have incredible vistas but a lot of them are highly…
