I would agree with this, but I was pretty damn stoked for 4 Heroes of Light for a long time too.

My most anticipated game of 2014 is Bravely Default - a handheld JRPG. I'm currently saving up for a Vita so that I can get the new Ys game. This article is right on the money. Handhelds have been a boon to the genre.

That's not how Kickstarter works. You're only charged if the project meets its intended goal. So if the project is cancelled, or fails to meet its benchmark, nobody actually puts any money forth. Otherwise what's to stop con-artists from starting up a Kickstarter, getting afew grand in support, then cancelling and…

Everyone here should be super excited about La Mulana. I've been pumped for this one for ages. The game is flat-out beautiful. Imagine a cross between Cave Story and Spelunky with a hint of Castlevania, and you'll have the right idea.

Tryin' to raise some hard love.

Oh. Sorry. I didn't read the original post closely enough. I missed the word "used." I don't buy used games for titles that are still in print. I prefer to support the original developer as much as my meager budget will allow. I merely meant that I wait for the GoTY editions, or price drops. I do buy new whenever…

I actually really dig the Soft Case. I put my handhelds in cases to keep their screens safe and their ports dust-free when I'm not using them. Why treat the WiiU controller any differently?

Please don't put words into my mouth. I'm not "taking a stand" against anything. There's no complaint or half-cocked rebellion here. I merely choose to be patient and get the most game for my dollar. I don't buy much of anything at launch these days, and that's due to a limited budget and a massive backlog, not…

This will be my approach too. It's been serving me well over the past two years. I won't be paying $90 for the complete game.

I'm honestly not that impressed either. The events are just mass chaos. All the characters clip through each other like a giant cartoon dustcloud out of Looney Tunes (or Persona) and I can't tell what's going on. And 50% of the time that I try to interact with a quest item or person, I get a temporary freeze and a…

Well thank you for reading the WHOLE thing.

For the record. I never declared one method as being better. I merely declared a preference. I did say that I enjoy PC gaming, and acknowledge its strengths.

I can say with little question that Jessica Rabbit prettymuch ruined real human females for me during my most formative years. I didn't quite stumble out of the expectations she gave me until my early 20s.

This looks super charming. I'm getting such a Kirby vibe from the backgrounds. I'm such a sucker for bright colors. I can't wait to get home from work so I can watch this clip with the sound, and get a feel for how the gameplay syncs up with the musical elements.

There sort of is. The more replies a post gets, the more likely it is to be bumped up to a featured conversation. I think that's how the system works anyway.

I just can't wait for the scene when he's on the horse. I'm sure that'll be in part two. That imagery is forever burned into my skull. So iconic.

I remember that. It was the advent of the PlayOnline "service" that later evolved to serve FFXI. I had never felt so ripped off in my life as I did when I bought that guide.

Online strategy guides? Oh sweet. I've been using FAQs for years. Never thought about voluntarily paying for them though.

That's always been my philosophy. You can have a REALLY good time in just about any endeavor without loosing decency and acting like a baboon. Overusing foul language makes you look uneducated and stupid. Abusing racist and/or culturally insensitive language paints you in even worse light. Why do people WANT to…

I'm really happy that ArenaNet is cracking down so hard on generally inhuman behavior like this. For people like me, who specifically avoid the more social aspects of MMOs due to people's actions and mannerisms, these actions are super reassuring. It's another feather in the "I guess I have to buckled down and buy…
