No, Kotaku's system is not really a 2-grade system. Say, for example, Nier - it's 67 or 68 on Metacritic, or Resonance of Fate at 72. They deserved those low scores. I read some reviews that panned them and they were well-argumented. Yet these are two definitive games no JRPG fan can miss in current console…

84 is high enough for Virtue's Last Reward - not 'OMG 10/10' so people who would have been offended by amount of text and lack of animation would likely pass. Still high enough so fans of genre would surely have it on their radar.

>these reactions are insane, yes, but that's the fault of crazy commenters who overreact to review scores, not the scores themselves

Call me a heartless bastard, but the saddest thing for me was Heisenberg losing 5/6 of his fortune. Then there was that song about "money going scarce" or what was it to underline that feeling. It really hit me hard. Even though I liked Hank the most and he was killed just a moment before it. But at he died a noble…

He barely took part in the 'core' WWI though - he wasn't even in power when it started. When he came to power, he mostly cared about signing peace treaty with Germany because domestic civil war was a way more pressing concern.

59 WWI vs 257 WW2 games seems not that bad. That's almost five dozen Great War games. Probably had to include everything, like those Silent Hill trench episodes and stuff. 257 WWII, on the other hand, seems like 'only' 257. It would seem that at least every other game made in Russia would be based on WWII as it's the…

I have a feeling I had this discussion on Kotaku before, but what the hell.

Well that's exactly what surprises me. I do not know all that much about Argentina besides Julio Cortazar and Natalia Oreiro(and she's actually from Uruguay!) although I work for Bunge corporation which originated there. From my line of work it would seem to have a lot in common with Ukraine - 40-something-million…

Yes, I never owned phones with AMOLED screens, Vita is my only device with this tech. The fact that my eyesight is at 100% at 30 may be partially related to this. I read several books a month from my phone's screen, that's not counting web and such. And I have been reading from smartphones/PDAs for more than a decade,…

I surely enjoy my Vita more than 3DS.

I personally think LCD is an improvement.

Wait, what? Are you talking about Vita games? As I live in Russia, I use Russian store and US store. 50 pounds is about $80 or 2500 roubles. I've never seen a Vita game that expensive. If you're talking about PS3 games, well, I paid 2499 for Tales of Xillia and that was a bit on en expensive side...but that's PS3, not…

Yeah, for 'image quality to be as high as an OLED' we'd have to prove that OLED has ever had better image quality than LCD in the first place.

I thoght Argentina was a relatively developed country...not something like Ukraine.

Animated wallpapers do drain battery on Android but it's not that critical to be a showstopper. Not by a long shot.

Chinatown Wars wasn't really good and deserves to be forgotten all right. I don't remember all the details so I can't counter-argument here. But I remember all too well how I felt tricked out of money by GTA label and decent reviews. And I wasn't the only one who felt that way.

36 may seem small for Ubisoft who assign an army of mercenaries on every next Assassin's Creed. But it's hardly a small team by any means.

As of now, GTA IV is probably the cheapest good game you can get for PS3 or 360. I saw it going for something like 5 euro on PSN Store. But that's a loooong wait.

Why would you play Vita at home unless you you don't have a home console or other family members contest your TV time? Most good Vita games are available on PS3, too, and usually run in better quality there. I'd never have gotten one if my work did not include business trips and daily commute on a train ~40 minutes in…

Well in case of Vita portability is actually a very important point.
