Phoenix Wright is one of the best game (ok, series, but I love them too much to make distinctions and call on better than the other) ever along with FF6, Fallout, Grim Fandango. And seeing as those are from the 90s, Ace Attorney may be actually THE best game of current millennium so far.

I kinda want this. If only Kotaku had some tool allowing to track games I'm interested in so I don't miss these silent Japanese releases. I know some other sites do have this feature, but with my new job I totally don't have time for any other gaming media.

Looks like an idea totally cloned from Conception.

I've been interviewing people for the positions of Senior Software QA engineer and/or Test Lead this summer. After a couple of weeks I learned to apply a heavy discount to all the game industry experience. Like, if I can only schedule one interview, I'd rather talk with a person who has 3-5 years of QA experience than…

There's probably something wrong with my perception, but I don't get what's so ugly about Crocs. They are simple - simple shapes, nothing fancy. And simple is nice. Same about Uggs, how can something that simple be ugly?

I got my Vita in March 2013 and it has been my most played platform since that time. Many of the games could be played elsewhere (FF IX, Walking Dead, VLR, Conception 2, Persona 4), some were exclusive (Danganronpa, Gravity Rush, Ys), all were great and not too expensive to boot. It also has decent screen unlike 3DS…

What was so shitty about it? The only thing that I disliked was that combat was at the same time hard and not particularly fun. But when I lowered the difficulty, it became a fun ride.

Back in the 90s I liked the books way more than the game. Not that they were all that great, but I don't like shooters all that much. Back at the time when I had to search for keys and backtrack for medkits, I hated them with a passion. Still I found the books an OK read. So maybe you are not even all that biased.

I wanted to say 'no it's not weird', but you went and said 'legos' meaning you're not probably a Lego fan. So maybe it is weird after all.

I couldn't agree less. I got this game from PS plus and didn't like anything about it at all. The visual style, the controls, the blabbering language. The puzzles that were more about tedium and fighting the controls rather than thinking and finding a solution. I got bored and never completed it.

Coffee shop shifting its business to milkshakes because of noy being able to brew good coffee, now that's low.

Doesn't like fast&furious but praises transformers. What's wrong with this guy.

Was it released in the west though? I remember playing Romancing SaGa 3 in fan translation. It was cool, but the setting was more traditional compared to Frontier.

Probably my most treasured JRPG ever. I loved it to the point of writing stories in the game's universe. Don't think I used any of the characters, but who cares. The atmosphere was so thick. It was an actual living world, not something like your typical JRPG with towns consisting of 3 houses with 5 dwellers. It had…

They still do - at locations where Starbucks coffee is decent. However, many American Starbucks locations in busier city areas are, in fact, notoriously bad about coffee. I checked numerous locations in Midtown Manhattan, and not only the drink is so-so, but the staff isn't as fast and friendly as I'm used to. And…

Remember that 25-something years old poster that surfaced on Kotaku not long ago? "There's no such thing as Nintendo because Nintendo is not a noun, but an adjective".

The word "LEGO" conveniently sounds like a genderless Russian noun. Genderless nouns sometimes exist in a plural form only. Naturally, being a native Russian, I would say something equivalent to "my Lego" or "my bricks". Funnily enough, that's also kinda against the guidelines, but in a different way.

The opening credits because of the best video game music ever. Also, Phantom Train and Opera house.

This is not limited to Neptunia. I remember some JRPG where armor would go up and down on males, too. Was it Agarest Zero, or something.

I don't even know what "the crew" is and don't really like the cars on top, but I dig this worn-out look on the front panel.
