I said the -same exact thing- to myself one second before scrolling down to your comment!

My weeaboo senses are tingling!

Lightning a strong, well-written female character? Oh, COME ON.

Going by name alone, "Bubble Witch Saga" sounds like it would be a bland moeblob game of semi-naked 13-year-old girls.

Oops, wrong thread! My bad.

Hi Cortana. Ya done bein' naked yet?

It personally bugged the hell out of me knowing that I was forced to have sex with women. I tried talking to every single male character I could find, but the most the game allows is for you to play as a mildly bi-curious man. I didn't get past the first dungeon.

Dear, it's Halo. All the characters are generic.

I really wish some of these Windows Phone games could somehow be ported over to the Xbox 360, but that's more a developer responsibility.

I know, right? It's like Square is in a bubble and thinks that it's still 2000, when you could only get a nice-looking game by pumping enormous amounts of money into presentation. These days, nearly any HD game studio can pump out satisfactory visuals in addition to gameplay depth, so the money Square threw at XIII's…

I'm glad it's drawing from Final Fantasy V, because I always thought that V was the most straightforward "fun" one out of the whole bunch.

Thing is, they aren't even creating a good anime for it. You'd think by yanking out all forms of variable gameplay from XIII and only keeping track of ten or so characters, the story would be fleshed out. But nooooo, with Toriyama at the helm there's no way he'll let a story be good. The sad part is that he truly…

I didn't think it was possible to make a story that was dumber than XIII, but Toriyama pulled it off with XIII-2.

So, you don't like DRM telling us how to play our games, but you're fine with Motomu Toriyama holding us by the hand through his awful stories with juvenile scripts and sexist undertones, taking away any and all variable forms of gameplay from us in order to tell them?

I don't care about the form of gameplay, so much as I'm pissed at how Square-Enix loves jacking off over how smart and perfect they think they are, and how we should be begging to be in the company of such illustrious auteurs that frankly couldn't write their way out of a motherfucking paper bag.

Is there anybody left at Square-Enix who isn't fucking retarded?

What do you expect? Square-Enix is now an artisically-bankrupt, shit factory.

My variant of the Bechdal Test for use with anime is "Do the women wear pants?" You'd think that be an extremely easy condition to fulfill, but then you'd be wrong.
