@William Chandler: From what I remember of round 3, you can't even do certain punches with the face buttons, like the semi-charged haymakers I believe.. that's why I always just stuck with the analog.. good points though I guess, some people have trouble jabbing with the stick.

@Alex Heat: I actually can't play a fight night game without the right analog stick. I promoted this for the final destination reference though rofl.

@J.Bourne: [www.nysun.com]

A...A...Action ROLEPLAYING GAME?!?! I thought this was gonna be another generic shooter. Awesome!!!

@Some_Guy2: Kotaku has ALWAYS covered gaming culture and related stuff. The freakin name has OTAKU in it cmon man.

@An Atheist Jew: Gotta remember that in most anime Earth doesn't start pumping out the cool shit until we are united in a one world government, and are subsequently attacked.

He is really lucky Germany has such great film subsidies and tax breaks. He wouldn't last 10 minutes anywhere else.

@IMD1: I rrrrreeeeeeaaaaallly don't think 95% of matches in tournaments or out will be kratos vs kratos. Have you seen anything related to this game at all?! It looks awesome, plus its a tag game.

@Leanid: Right they are indeed completely different industries, my point is that I was alluding to some kind of cultural mindset that connects the two. Is it that far out of bounds to suggest that Japanese pent up sexuality and aggression, and hell, pent up everything, leads to a markedly more absurd, more violent,…

@FarmboyinJapan: Very insightful. Interesting hearing your views when you are so close to the culture.

@De Gnomer: I can see where you're coming from but saying that Rupert Murdoch isn't fully aware of the message he puts out there via Fox and other sources is kind of silly. It's very intentional.

@Paradox me: Sounds awesome, grab a 3 dollar ps2 to usb converter and you can use it for a ps3/pc as well!

@Paradox me: You need to play some super meat boy with the arcade stick. So damn fun.

@progame13: It seems like it speaks a lot to the twisted perceptions of sexuality that otaku share. All in all something I have trouble understanding very well, due to the innate paradoxes within Japanese culture..

@PunkyChipsAhoy: +a billion.

@cephirobr: Yup I understand it's a part of some basic level of human psychology I guess to want to have some sort of role models to look up to, and to force our communal beliefs on them for whatever reason.

@De Gnomer: Again, good point, I guess I have no recourse in sounding like a lunatic for expressing this opinion but I feel that at some level there is a guiding hand forcing what we see to an extent. Do some more independent research and you may see where I am coming from.

@bugbread: I do see how you can think that but I sadly do not agree.

@cephirobr: Xuxa?
