FFX was pretty linear too. I'm not saying that linearity is a bad thing. I love a lot of games that are linear. Hell, I read Visual Novels. It's just like they took nearly all forms of player agency. There was no fun in navigating dungeons because pretty much the only direction ever was forward. No puzzles, barely…

Suikoden 1-5 are connected but don't require you to play any of the other ones to play any of them. It only helps you appreciate the extensive lore. Suikoden II is the best of the series in terms of story. I think all of them are worth playing.

I'm going to keep crying until Trails SC comes out. They can do it. There's the PS3 version that allows importation of the PSP saves. When they do it. They will have my money.

That Heathcliff was horseshit and Kirito only one through one of the biggest deus ex machinas I've seen in awhile. Not only was it anti-climactic but it was a slap to the face of good writing. The whole Alfheim Online arc is contrived padding at it's worst and only further cements Asuna's role as nothing but Kirito's…

This article doesn't say anything about the numbers. The reason we don't get JRPGs as much anymore is because of the two markets have diverged. The PSP got huge in Japan while it languished and died in America. PSP has become THE place for JRPG developers without the financial infrastructure to develop for HD…

Took me a goddamn hour. The boat wasn't really hard at all compared to the opening moments. It was mastering the inconsistent double running assassination that was the hard part. That mission was fucking terrible and a near perfect summation of a seriously unpolished experience. That game really needed another year to…

I am very pleased The Walking Dead won. It is one of the best gaming experiences I've had in years. The show bored me to tears but the game kept me on the edge of my seat.

Hello my nightmares.

Why throw out the Assassin ceremony and skip Connor's training? It made Connor feel disconnected from the tradition and the lore of the Assassins before him.

San Andreas is the best. Don't give a fuck. Sky diving in that game was the best. So was flying all the way across the map on a fucking jetpack to cap motherfuckers from the air. Vice City was way too flat so the car chases was weren't really as exciting. GTA IV took away the wacky bits for a story that just didn't…

Come on that spread eagle pose is common for Spiderman.

Why is American media so fucking terrible with cover art? It happens with books as well. Who OKs this shit? Blind chimps?

My gamertag is Ersanven, it comes from the name of some god I made up and abandoned for my novel. It wasn't taken anywhere I used it so I use it.

They should have put Chinese culture then. After all China is the first known culture to leisurely enjoy Marijuana.

People always say this and I think it's just small minded. When I see an old person with a tattoo it usually looks amazing. Even when a person isn't in shape the tattoo is the mark of a journey. Of a life lived. This might sound shallow from someone with no tats, but I respect body art.

Well the first game did have like demon dragons.

Xbox is dead in Japan.

I wanted lesbian sex at the time and I got used to having her in the party.

The first game was the worst FPS I have ever played. It was bland boring and ugly. I doubt an HD update will change that.

What is this I don't even...
