As much as I want P4A, its omission does make sense. All the incredibly passionate international players (not to undercut the domestic crowd) really brought a lot of excitement to the tournament, and now they're all playing Ultimax. Hopefully when The Ultimax is released here, P4A can come back for another year.

Hilariously enough, the data for DLC 1 and 2 are, in fact, already on the disk. As you can see from this Capcom Unity post with enclosed patch notes (that everyone seems to be ignoring...) http://www.capcom-unity.com/dead_rising/go… the data included in the patch is for the 3rd and 4th DLC. The size of the patch is…

My interest in the Wii U would only be vague at best at a $250 price point. At $150, I'd buy one tomorrow. Right now, that interest is non-existent. When SMT X Fire Emblem and X drop, I'd be willing to spend $250 at most on the device (and benefit from a healthy backlog of first party). Until then, I think we can…

It's not really the same situation. Mononoke wasn't adapted from a manga like Nausicaa. In this case, the potential for a sequel comes from the 5 volumes that the movie didn't include.

A statement like this couldn't be further from "the truth," or truth in general. The reason for this is that meaningless ad hominem (which you are for some reason cosigning?) has no logical value or force, thus there is no truth to be determined. It's simply a vacuous statement.

A "pointless article" which injects a degree of humor into the sharing of an awesome new trailer? Calm down, buddy.

I'm most impressed by the props. The leaves for furniture, animal masks... when bells started flying out of the rock I lost it.

I personally have a problem that THREE MILLION DOLLARS (minus Kickstarter fee) went HALF AS FAR as it was supposed to. Are those figures not shocking to you? Would six million dollars have resulted in Double Fine creating a twelve million dollar game? Where does it end? I would say as a Kickstarter backer of other…

I would just like to point out that (to get a little philosophy nerd on you) there's not a single ethical system on the books that would justify reciprocation by a moral subject of a harming action perpetrated by a moral agent. Meaning, if a moral agent caused a moral subject some sort of (emotional, physical) harm,…

Hey man, I think you need to get a grip. I'm pretty sure there's not a single law on the books anywhere that forbids a woman who is not in a relationship from having an 'intimate encounter' with someone else. You must be confused.

It's unfortunate because I was looking at it about $20 minutes ago. I hope the deal comes back up, because I didn't get a chance to bite.

Personally, while I don't recollect any implication of structural necessity myself (beyond the buzzword filled and ultimately inconsequential Azure cloud processing), I find statements like that are typically just smoke and mirrors. I believe if Microsoft wanted to they could reverse these policies and restrictions…

If this is true, I guess I'll be dropping a total of $900 this holiday season...

A pretty simple solution would be mandating a $40 price (at most) for downloadable titles, this is including the AAA "$60" releases that they have on Xbox Live. If they're going to embrace such an anti-consumer DRM policy, they have to show that is something that has value to consumers. They argue they are playing the…

That's the dream, isn't it? But I think moves like that will have to come after the Xbox One posts some lackluster sales. Ultimately I think for "bro gamers" (or whatever) the Xbox One still seems very appealing. Those interested in Madden and Call of Duty and uninterested in DRM and digital ownership may still…

Agreed. These are not "first party heavy hitters," they are iterative updates that approach franchises in ways that are very played-out with the exception of the new 3D Mario which looks amazing. Nobody wanted a new Donkey Kong Country, especially from a talented company like Retro. One was enough. And the new Mario…

Why would developers "stand up" to policies that benefit them? They are out to make money. I'm sure they hope the Xbox One succeeds and we, as consumers, just decide to drink the piss that Microsoft assures us is just fresh and clean H2O raining down.

My biggest question is if family members, playing the "same" digitally downloaded game, can play it at the same time with each other

I'm a little confused as to how to get that $3.50 price for Runner2. It's not in the actual bundle and I don't see anything written that if I buy the bundle I get Runner2 for $3.50. How does this work?

Concern for other people's situations is irrational. Got it. Thanks for clearing that up!
