It drew inspiration from that era, yes, but it was more than the Vietnam war in space. Many make that false assumption because that's basically the last war we ever fought where their were huge numbers of people who were not only opposed to the war and not would they go out into the streets and complain about it but…

DS9 still dealt with the moral issues surrounding war and survival. It questioned the ethics of such actions and at what point in time the ethics of such actions might need to be over looked in the interest of not being destroyed. It said "here are some actions that are pretty evil and you'll probably need to do them…

I teared up when I saw him singing there. We need more people with the same vision of the future he had. More optimism and less of this cynical , dark and gritty future nonsense we've had so much of recently. I want to envision a future we can enjoy that is worth fighting for not another post apocalyptic nightmare or…

Except that since Bioware came out with it's breed of dialog heavy, 3rd person, action games that they tote around as RPGs now every western game, and their mothers, expects every fucking RPG to be frothing with choices and freedom and choices and freedom. You can be the ass whole who saves the world or the white…

Nothing on Tales of Xillia? That's supposed to be coming state side and from what I understand Tales of Graces F actually did fairly well in the US.

I fear that is the PS3 moves away from physical media it will become that much harder to import games. Region locks are BS enough, and thankfully the PS3 did away with those, but there are several IPs that often don't show up stateside anymore that still have sizable followings (notably Gundam and Macross).

Likes like commenting on how being stabbed was more pleasant than being hit by an oncoming train....

It's strange seeing a CoD game on the list of best games for a Nintendo system. I mean it's almost like seeing a JRPG on the top 10 list for the Xbox 360 (I mean I would totally rank Tales of Vesperia as one of my top 10 360 titles but I'm fully aware that neither the demographics nor popular opinion are not in my…

Incredible! They actually have the internet in Congo? Who knew!

IDK the game industry has become much more like any other industry since this generation launched. It's so much less about delivering a rich experience an being innovative and so much more about pandering to the lowest common denominators and selling out to the masses. This generation saw us go from an industry where…

Not strange at all. We have very strange priorities for some reason. You can show a scene where some one shoots, like, 10 dudes and people won't even flinch. You show two people in love making out and being a little too promiscuous and people freak the hell out. We live in a world where war is on full display in the…

Nether. How many games come out of the US pumped full of sunshine and rainbows? How many come out dripping with mud, grit and realism?

Yeah I think after the 3rd guy shoots at her she would of figured that out on her own. I suspect it would of been there simply for the shock value, like that one level in MW2 where you come out of the bunker and into a burnt out DC. No substance just pure, shock value taking cheap shots at your psyche and using…

I hope not. The game already looks overly gritty and dull. I get those are both selling points but it seems like a lot of games games are in a desperate race to be grittier and grimmer than the next leading competitor. I mean I guess rape would be a sure fire way to instantly boost the game's darkyness and grittyness…

Thank goodness. They said something along those lines a while back. I hope they cut it.

Doesn't Lara actually get raped in this game too? I mean there will actually be a moment when he's thinking "what the hell, is he watching porn in there?" where he won't be too far off!

Well as good as Harmony Gold is at protecting the integrity of their IPs I am sure that they will want to cash in on this and it will get a release in the US, right?

You and I are rivals, then. Because Xiahou Dun is where it's at. You don't fuck with a man who took an arrow to the face, pulled it out, laughed, and then continued on his merry way. But I respect the beard.

Oh I'll endorse the hell out of Dynasty Warriors. I just wouldn't use it as an excuse to shoot up a school.

What's really scary is that every time they mention something else about this kid it's a descriptor I'd use to describe myself and my friends. We all like Dynasty Warriors, most of us enjoyed Mass Effect, and we're all socially awkward and probably have a very mild form of Autism. I mean We're starting to worry…
