I'm in the same boat. Made it to the Elite Four, then stopped. "Why am I playing this?"

How about, instead of a mainframe, a distributed computing model, like SETI or Folding@home?

Of course I'm not saying that everyone couldn't see the difference. What I am saying is that most people can't. My dad is a good example - he knows his stuff to some degree, but he isn't in on everything. You and I could tell the difference, but most people can't, I believe, and that's where I think FortressCraft…

I know. I thought you were referring to the actual Super Mario Bros. 2 - the Japanese version. I get your analogy now, thanks.

What exactly are you trying to get across? That Minecraft is "fake"? If so...well, it came first. Otherwise...what?

It's not that it's similar. It's that it's a blatant ripoff in many people's opinions. As in, it's just trying to capitalize on Minecraft's success.

Can anyone present a serious arguement that FortressCraft is not a ripoff of Minecraft?

Yes, of course Chrono Trigger counts. It's one of my favorites too.

Great name, although I personally hate random encounters. Anyway...

Bungie isn't making Halo 4.

The costumes in the Tales series are just that. Costumes. They have no actual function. They just look pretty (or silly, in some instances). This is why $144 for all of it is often cited as insane.

Holy shit I feel lucky.

Vita is not mainstream. It hasn't been aimed that way. For good or for bad, this console is positioned to be supported by hardcore gamers alone.

I didn't say people want more power than the 3DS. I said that hardcore gamers want more power than the 3DS. Whether that is a big enough market nowadays is the question.

1. True. AT&T sucks. Of course, they didn't really have another option unless they wanted to change the hardware.

Nintendo Revolution.

Absolutely.

I know. Let me rephrase: two games in a year does not a console make.

Two or three games does not a console make. :(

I agree. It looks like a Photoshop of an iPhone.
