That looks like a backhand punch to me ( from right to left, hitting with the back of the hand )

I'm really enjoying the game, but the constant frame-drops take so much away from it. I'm playing on PS3 and every single time I change screens and there's an auto-save, it gets ridiculously sluggish. Don't even get me started about after I defeated Al Gore, or any screen with a lot going on, for that matter.

On a more positive note, that was amazing. What a great dad !

In Brazilian ? Yeah, it'd be much easier to understand if it was in American.

They might be waiting to see how well Ishin sells. Wait ... Ishin is coming out in the West, right ? RIGHT ?!

VIII here also, by far. Never in the history of JRPGs have I found the difficulty to be perfect like it is in DQ VIII. It was very difficult, but so ridiculously rewarding. Probably the only turn-based RPG that made me jump up and down in my living room during tough fights.

Unless I'm mistaking, they've enjoyed decent sales for all their DS remakes and great sales for IX. I really don't understand why they're not bringing the VII remake over. The 3DS is starved for classic JRPG goodness and I think they're making a HUGE mistake by not localizing it for an english-speaking audience. Bad…

I think he might be going for a Batman mask effect, you know, for the LADIES.

Well, if that's the case, you, sir, just made my day !

No turn-based battle system ?!

Mike, I NEVER agree with lists like these, but this one, from top to bottom, is completely spot-on. Great job. I would've liked to see Skies of Arcadia, but apart from that ... kudos !

He has confirmed before that he does not use auto-tune.

I would highly recommend you try Ni No Kuni. It's like a JRPG of old, with all the magic and fantasy, but with gorgeous visuals and a really fun, engaging story. It single-handedly gave me hope for modern JRPGs.

I couldn't agree more. I'm ridiculously upset.

Oh my god, dude, I hope you're kidding, because if not I'll have to virtually strangle you.

I'll never understand why some people move in together only after getting married. If you're happy after a few years of living as a couple, THEN you get married (if you're into that sort of thing).

lol. So what is Fire Emblem, if not a turn-based strategy game ? Technically, they're SRPGs, with Valkyria being a little more action-oriented, but we're just talking sub-genres here. They're still JRPGs.

"In fact, a character like Cole plays so well that I could see him in a traditional 1vs1, arcade-style fighting game"

Is it just me, or this sounds quite a bit like Cave Story's theme ?
