Yes, casual racism. Feel free to Google it.

It reminds me of “on fleek” being horribly misused. Also nice casual racism.

That’s how I feel.

Yeah, I’m similarly worried. The first was so great because it was linear and self contained. There was no leveling up or upgrading, and it was a point A to point B game with the fun being in HOW you got from point A to point B. Open world games just tire me out 90% of the time now.

It’s exactly because it’s easy, and cheap. They can churn out a guaranteed to sell, mediocre FF entry for a tidy profit.

Glad to see I’m not alone in being really underwhelmed with it. I actually played far into the game (got to this CF of a dungeon that was in a 3D crystal) and finally gave up. I did end up buying FF XIII, but that just killed what little love I had for the franchise. At this point I am well and done with Final Fantasy.

I think it’s a bad game myself, and was actually when I started to lose hope in Final Fantasy as a franchise. Weak characters, weak story, atrocious and repetitive dungeon layouts, of which the latter is what made me stop playing. Go into it with modest expectations.

Your post just convinced me to buy FFIX when I get home, thanks.

Even if only 100,000 bought it that’s still a pretty excellent turn out.

I haven’t bought a Playstation device since the PS2, and have no intention to. If Suikoden came on Steam I’d buy it in a heartbeat, and I doubt I’m unique in that regard. Also, pirating PC games, especially old ones, is a pain in the ass and I’d rather just buy it for ease of use.

I love coming to Kotaku to see all the weebs weeb out.

You’re probably right that people just see the stars and decide on that. I myself do read the reviews, and I still got tricked multiple times in the past (I posted about it on this article actually) for thinking the “recommended reviews” were really the most accurate regardless of stars. I definitely think some of the…

Ah, I see where you are going. True, the upper management made that decision, but the upper management is also the company. A company isn’t a sapient entity, it’s made up of humans that make decision under a group identity. Saying “you left because of management, not a company” is pointless if you insist on calling…

To start, I have no idea how this article or many of the commenters can decry bad reviews as a bad thing. Bad businesses get bad reviews for being poor at what the do (paid reviewers not counted here), and if a business suffers because of a bad, legitimate review then they should have been better at what they did.…

You’re not selfish or a dick, and it’s completely sane and rational to give a bad review for bad service as a warning to others. If anything, what you did was was considerate because you are likely preventing others from experiencing what you had to experience. All this talk about leaving negative reviews leading to…

I completely agree, and I am sorry your wife had such a bad experience.

I can’t say I agree. I know many people who have left their jobs because of the company’s decisions on pay, benefits, health care, time off, etc. despite overall enjoying the job. Bad managers are not always the problem.

I wouldn’t call it a life or death necessity, but it’s an excellent idea for all men regardless of age to have their testosterone levels tested yearly. Low testosterone for your age group can lead to a myriad of health and physiological problems, and addressing them can improve the quality of life for many men.…

You’ve given literally zero evidence towards that, nor any rebuttals to what I pointed out. PC gaming is great if it’s what you want and you can afford it, but it’s not cheaper in my case.

Except it’s not? I already have an old laptop that satisfies my internet needs, and my Xbone was $300. There’s no universe where spending twice that is better for me.
