Too much cleavage and not enough story? I'll pass.

That's about the only thing that would get me to play Mortal Kombat.

...Okay.

Besides the obvious example of Legends 3, I'm a little peeved at never getting to play the next Mega Man ZX game they were teasing at the end of the last one. :(

I don't know about you guys, but I'm actually going to miss Kevin Butler. :(

"Why is Rikku's outfit so popular?", I ask a little jokingly, a little depressed.

But you know what I would really like to see? Not someone in English telling them to stop being stupid and selfish, but for Kotaku to provide a decent English translation of a Japanese site's forum thread or comments section where the old and new fans alike just vent about not only Square-Enix's business practices,…

They want to have their cake and eat it too. They have an American branch, yet their project heads publicly spout how they are making games squarely focused on their Japanese consumer demographics, and not those of any other region. And, like Team Ninja to an extent, they then sniff their nose at anyone in America…

Saw Pabst in the video. Closed tab.

I would just like for it to not take a full minute to load every game, DLC, theme, etc.'s thumbnail in the store menus, so that I can actually tell at a glance what I'm highlighting.

I don't think the writer/director has ever had any human contact in his life outside of his work. I'll even bet his was an arranged marriage, or else he might have a qualm or five about whether he should strip a once strong female protagonist down to a sniveling, abused, spineless, sexualized doormat with the mind of…

OH GOD THOSE DREAMY EYES.

They only know how to emotionally manipulate, not write truly moving scenes. Nier looked nowhere as gorgeous or well-rendered, but I actually felt a heartstring getting plucked while playing it, which is something I can't say of any other Square-Enix title released over the last five years.

Oh my FUCKING GOD, why is Square-Enix so completely and utterly OB-LIV-I-OUS to how much the story and quality of writing of Final Fantasy XIII is absolute shit compared to other games on the market and even other entries in their own series? They honestly think it's the best thing since sliced bread! How can they be…

I noticed that style shift when I read the comics all the time as a kid (I'm still in my early 20's so I'm talking comic compilation books for the legacy material) but I simply thought he settled on a style and coasted all by himself, not hire an entire team to do his "not-work" for him.

...For 13 fucking dollars.

Was Garfield ever truly funny? Or was it funny until we found other, better comic strips?

I'm guessing that they will be announcing Half-Life 3 sometime in the next year or so at this rate. With Portal 2, Counter Strike: GO, Left 4 Dead 2, DOTA2, and Team Fortress 2 all out the gate and only getting incremental updates or short-length DLC at most at this point, they don't have a very obvious AAA title that…

I understand that a business like Square-Enix wants to make money like any other, because you need to turn a profit with a mainstream blockbuster so that you can create the occasional critic's darling that falls a bit short in sales. And they did that for a while, most notably back in the late 90's/early 00's with an…

I guess I'll go back to playing Mario or something and not give a real game another look because, as has been thoughtfully pointed out, it's obvious that "I'm not a gamer". Fantastic way to handle someone hesitant about taking the plunge into your favorite hobby, really.
