While any sane human being will agree that the story has problems, I don't really even agree with the thought that the gameplay was decent.

I've already played it for a couple hours, and it's great. It's fun, and the visuals and music are both quite good.

Kitten breads, you say? I'm listening.

Central Time? Uhh, sure, why not?

Yeah, that's what I thought. Though it looks like most people at least went to $15, since that guarantees you a digital copy of the game. It makes little sense to donate less than $15, but some people still did it.

Well said. Though in all fairness, Japan's big publishers are occasionally trying new things (Lost Planet 1 & 2, Quantum Theory) that turn out to be utter failures, and only a few of their new ideas actually get an traction in the West (Dead Rising).

The male armour at least looks bulky, i.e. it inexplicably looks like plate mail from medieval times; it wasn't great, but I guess it got the job done. The female armour just looks horrendous across the board.

Firm.

To preempt all of you assholes out there: no, this doesn't mean they're going to stop releasing their games on Steam.

Haha, now I don't know what to think.

I'm not even gonna be harsh on the voice acting and writing in this trailer. For the 6-11-year-old demographic that they're targeting with this game, that's all comedy gold.

I think it's a "charibot", as in "chariot".

While I give Mount & Blade credit for being the first to really make that type of game, it's still janky as shit. So I'm not opposed to seeing some other developer take a crack at it.

Awww, this is article is so sad. Though partially because as I read the article, I mentally replaced Goto with Wall-E.

That blew my mind when I was little, but it's so obvious now that most of that shit is just in reverse.

You must have impossibly high standards, because that was one of the least shitty-looking capes that's ever been in a video game.

Alice: Madness Returns did have good looking hair on Alice. Though anytime the camera got close to her head, you could see the different layers the hair was made of as they kept clipping through each other. Also, the physics model on Alice herself limits how realistic the hair was; when a long-haired person runs,…

I'm amused by how lazy the Pikachu cosplay seems. I'm pretty sure she's just wearing a yellow bra, with some kind of wide belt thing right below it.

Wait a minute! A Clone High reference? You just made my day.

It's interesting to see Japanese sensibilities towards fictional women applied to an American character. It's making me realize that I'm used to seeing this sort of fanservice with anime character (and CG anime characters like in FFXIII), but it feels odd to be seeing it with an American character.
