One of the best articles I've ever read on Kotaku. Quite possibly the best.

Hopefully FFXV shows Square has learned from their XIII disaster. XIII-2 was certainly much, much better than it's prequel, so that's a good sign. The last thing we want is another Corridor JRPG.

I can say that as an ex-WoW player of about 2 years of playing (on and off), most MMORPGs are too similar to WoW to get my attention for long. The last thing I want now is to go back to the experience that I've gotten bored with. No offense to WoW, it's a GREAT game other than the terrible community, but like any game…

If you are seeing it in nerds' rooms everywhere, then I guess it really is "cool" apparently.

The MOGA gamepad looks to be a near EXACT copy of Power A's Pro Elite Wireless Controller for the PS3, which just happens to be my favorite controller of ALL TIME. All joking and hyperbole aside, I'm dead serious — my favorite controller for over 25 years of gaming is a third-party controller for the PS3!

I can easily believe it plays like WoW, though I have no hands-on experience with it. But this post seems to be focusing on how it "looks like WoW, which I assume means visually? The screenshot above bears no resemblance to WoW other than the fantasy setting, but that's a must — there's no way to make an Elder Scrolls…

There's only one picture, and it looks quite different from WoW. I guess I can't comment on the progression, however.

The blurb that the author has critiqued contains VERY little detail. The only real "factual" piece of information is full backwards compatibility — but what is "full" ? Does that mean compatible all the way back to PS1 discs? PS2? Or does it refer to all PS3 games playing without problem on the PS4?

I do agree on your point that the term "objective" applied to a review is ironic.

Glad you understood my point. My clarity of writing is what helped you grasp it so easily.

I doubt you reviewed games for 8 years, and if you did, you must have been terrible at it. To give D3 a zero because you had some trouble logging in is far from an honest, objective review.

You probably wrote your comment thinking that I believed that purchasing the disc to a game meant you owned the content — no, I'm sorry, you assumed incorrectly.

"Review bombing" is inherently dishonest and untruthful.

Your comment was so ignorantly absurd, that it actually surprised me a bit.

These games are ALWAYS cracked/hacked.

Blizzard *DOES* how their customers something by the very nature that they are customers. If I purchase a movie and the movie doesn't play due to manufacturing defects, I should get my money back or a working copy.

If you pay for it, you should have access to it. We are not talking about "rights" as in the right to remain silent or to face your accuser; we're talking about consumer "rights" in the lesser sense of the word.

Xenogears made my Top 10 JRPGs list, way up top. One of the best JRPGs ever released, no question about that. One of the most overlooked, too.

"I'm not just shouting my preferred method of argument, and shouting down anyone who disagrees with me."

Gotta say I just don't find the game very enjoyable. Playing Diablo 3 makes me wish I was playing Diablo 2, or even Diablo (1). I think ultimately the game is too similar to D2 with a lot of annoyances, not the least of which is mandatory persistent online. Being forced to sign up to a service (Battle.net) and then…
