It also stopped accepting my credit card for no reason. They started a huge JRPG sale and I put everything I didn’t yet have in my basket, worth about $100(not that much, but I already own most of JRPGs). But I wasn’t able to buy them. Well, their loss, I already have about a dozen games in my queue.

So, you go into special effort to make square watermelons. Some effort is also required for square bread - otherwise it would have been round or flat. And then you make them to look like one another.

Actually, Zelda NOT being a JRPG is rather an exceptional convention than a ‘by definition’. The zelda-like games of the 90s - Beyond Oasis, Alundra, you name it - were classified as JRPGs with hardly any room for doubt. But for Zelda it would seem like there were a secret commandment - “thou shall not call Zelda a…

Nah, that was easy. After a little while it was, in fact, easier than ‘on-foot fighting’ levels - just memorize the obstacles and that’s it. The snakes level and escape from giant rolling things level though. Never got through one of them(don’t remember which one came first).

Ok, I can’t resist this anymore. Why do many seemingly calm sentences in Ashcraft’s articles (usually in the introductory paragraphs) end in exclamation marks? Is this something that happens to your writing style when you live in Japan for a rather long while? Or write for Kotaku - I think I saw something in Fahey’s…

Best news of all E3 so far.

Did it? I thought it was deep in the red IMO

Excuse me, but could you please look it up in the dictionary? Oh well I did it for you:

My predictions: when this fails in sales, someone in Square management will use this example as his leverage to switch to mobile completely. Why would it fail? This is surely a very expensive game to remake so it’ll have a hard time breaking even - even if it does OK by remake standards. And I’m not even sure it will…

I find this comment hilarious. Expecting price matching when it hasn’t been explicitly offered is the very definition of ‘entitled'.

I’m quite sure developers of Age of Decadence aren’t a business ‘first and foremost’, been following Vince for almost 10 years by now.

Now that’s beyond ridiculous. Maybe if it’s some expensive mineral water but they don’t usually sell that in vending machine.

That rent figure is ridiculous. Why would you move away from California and still pay over $2000 per month. Did he rent a palace or something?

Nice. Is Demon Gaze available in the West btw?

C’mon, it’s 2015 now. Who cares about the speed and stability of an operating system? All OSes worth mentioning became stable and fast enough for almost everyone over a decade ago. It’s the interface and bundled software that matters.

Suikoden, Alundra...I do have those on my Vita already. And I’ve also seen what has beem released under these titles further down the line. So not sure how new titles in these series could appeal to anyone at all.

Makes sense I guess

That’s why we don’t have Carl’s Jr in Russia anymore. They saw this coming. It was too good to share.

I’d hardly call framerate the main problem of the game. It wasn’t even as bad as older Compile Heart titles.

In Russia you’re pretty likely to get none ever unless you go to streetpass parties and similar events. Even in Moscow and St Petersburg. In more rural places(read: everywhere else) you don’t even have a chance of stumbling into a streetpass party in Starbucks - there wouldn’t even be a Starbucks. I have 200-300…
