I hope people read the replies before taking this terrible advice. It makes much more sense to manage their expectations and caution them that they will need to download updates that could take a couple hours or to open the console AFTER they open the gift and help them set it up if new to gaming or if their last…

Battle for Middle Earth 3 would be much more appreciated

If this is Garland/Chaos, my star is not wasted and excellent example.

Its obvious why they are going through such financial difficulties. They don't include homosexual relationships in their games.

No, that an idiotic example. Interracial relationships have almost universal social acceptance in our current generation. Gay marriage is still highly controversial and that controversy does not penetrate globally. Nintendo did not see the value, from a business perspective, of including gay marriage. The controversy…

Its amazing how you come to the conclusion the Nintendo was being homophobic. That's such an absurd sentiment. So anyone who creates interactive art that doesn't include every sexual orientation, race, political affiliation, and social status is just not being sensitive to gamers and they are marginalizing any type of…

Good point, but to be fair, they should have added polygamous and swinging relationships. It really is an outrage that I can't be man with multiple wives in this life sims game. I must cause a global controversy and start petitions!

Lufia II is the best puzzle RPG ever made. Just the right amount of challenge, extremely varied, very fun.

For fuck's sake, now every game should get "points" taken away because there's no homosexuality in it???

Not sure if you saw the show "Chuck" but she was pretty good in action scenes... and hot as hell.

"The facial recognition program that somehow captures a snapshot of Heller's moving face and identifies him as "James Heller, U.S. President" is ridiculous and will never be spoken of again."

I played Final Fantasy 1 and Dragon Warrior around the same time. Dragon Warrior almost made me hate RPGs because of how hard it was at the get-go. FF saved it, then I went back to DW when I understood what grinding was, (back then I called it "stocking-up").

Act Raiser, Equinox, Dragon Warrior I, II, III, Shining Force I, II, Ultima, Star Tropics, Faxanadu, Willow, Illusion of Gaia, Soulblazer, 7th Saga.. Iconic games are covered to death.

Zenimax is a $1.2 billion company, still small by Facebook standards, but large enough to afford this litigation.

Damascus steel isn't a lost art. All of my Shun brand kitchen knives are made of 16 layers of it. http://www.amazon.com/Shun-Premier-C…

Now THIS is a game that would entice me to buy Occulus Rift

And that, my friend, is the complete gaming experience. I'm in the same boat, although Pikmin 3 would be a fantastic PC game.

IGN's preview article is better written, contains better information, and has a more objective perception of the game than this garbage article.

"we—normal people who already pay way too much to play games online—"

Classic case of of idiotic entitled gamers. They don't fucking cry when they donate to a game developer who ends up making a few hundred thousand, but just because its such a large amount, they feel entitled. Idiots.
