Oh, if only being a hipster were just dressing differently. Literally every hipster I've ever met acts as if they're at the pinnacle of social "cool", and cast ire on mere mortals from their crooked peak. If you don't like it, clearly you don't "get" it, right?

@Francisco Galárraga: Let me guess, you're one of the morons who calls Americans ignorant?

I felt super cool for being able to read "Ashikurafuto", then I realized mini-bash has a firmer grasp on Japanese than I do by a -ton-.

In-game cutscene? Looks like CG 2 me.

Pretty cool, but nothing close to Escape from City 17. This kind of thing would never work outside of a quick trailer, why would I want to watch a more cartoony, graphically equal version of the game? It's not like you're taking an 8-bit game and putting it into high-paced action scenes, you're taking high-paced…

@mightymonarch: Hey, I go to 4chan too, let me drop some memes really quick to up my e-cred. Lulz desu shop a whop epic lolz tacgnol fgsfds harbl i accidentally an entire australia fritzl i has a ___ reaction image the game caturday pool's closed.

@Amnesiac85: That's a lazy argument, "you haven't played it so you can't judge it."

@Lovebeast: What irritates me is that Dante doesn't smoke. In an interview for the first Devil May Cry game, the guy who designed Dante said that he chose for him to be a non-smoker because "he felt it was cooler than a badass hero who did smoke". So, either they're really paying attention to detail and this isn't…

@ShiryuGN: The way I've always thought of it is that Square has -tons- of good cutscenes, but very few -great- ones. Blizzard might only but ten minutes of cutscenes in a game, but in my experience they'll be pretty impressive. Just look at the opening cinematic for Wrath of the Lich King, which took over a year of…

Square-Enix really has gone downhill in CG quality. They always wow with their explosions and architecture, but their character modeling always looks really... basic and bad. Everyone's skin is just a color, no texture, nothing distinct. It's like watching dolls move around.

@Adhominem: Parts price for four 480 GTXs, a dual cpu motherboard, and two X5680s is going to be about $5,000-$6,000, and that RAM will add up quickly too. Obviously there's labor added in, but really it's an obscene computer for an obscene price. I can't imagine they'll sell more than I can count on one hand, it's…

Why would Geno be taking the faceoff? Way to go, EA.

Not to be a jerk, but Rosa posted this a few days ago.

@Batman: The tiny screen resolution has everything to do with it.

@Jakooboo-Tandy Owner: As an older fart (I'm 20), I think this is fucking cool and a step in the right direction. If you want a tiny little device, get a fucking iPod shuffle.

@TaxiHappy: Nothing beats the carpal tunnel that comes with using pre-64 bit era gaming controllers. Nostalgia aside, they're horribly uncomfortable for any period of time.

@casperiv: If you attacked a police officer on the street and he shot at you, that officer should be removed from service. Many police will only draw their weapon in life threatening situations, few in my experience treat it as a "i have a gun don't fuck with me or i'll shoot you oink oink".

@Koda89: That's like saying "most figures don't have this level of detail", which is true because most aren't $500. Being Japanese or otherwise doesn't (dis)qualify their level of detail or quality.

@Wade McGillis: Since when the hell did having a hobby constitute someone not having a life? Almost every person is highly specialized in at least one area, that doesn't mean they don't have a life. Don't be an ass.
