Or, and I’ll go slow here, it’s a way to generate desperately needed revenue for a small studio make their game. Fans interested enough to put down a preorder are then given direct involvement with the production of the game.

And seeing as the series has actually maintained parts of the ATB battle system as late as Lightning Returns, even if they took out control of other party members, you’re wrong and still a dick for spamming stupid Simpsons clips as reductionist responses to people who don’t have the same opinion as you.

You know, posting this as a response to anyone who doesn’t like the change doesn’t make you right, it just makes you a dick who needs a meme to articulate his point.

I bought the first game based on Kotaku’s strong recommendation and was greeted by a bloated, boring game, with a frustrating battle system that constantly challenged my patience with its terrible AI.

While the trailer looks awesome and the music is there along with well known landmarks and all, but when I saw the gameplay, my heart stopped... why the fuck did they make this an ActionRPG?!

Poor Monolith Soft? Nintendo gave them the liberty and the money to do the game that they want!

And yet, Fallout 4 is a contender with its 84 on metacritic and user reviews hovering around 6 out of 10. Xenoblade Chronicles X has an 85 currently and its predecessor was highly acclaimed.

Well, at least they started things off right. Splatoon taking best multiplayer over the weak ass CoD games.

I know the Wii U doesn’t have the same updating and Day 1 patch issues as PS4 and X1 have with games, but it might be a good idea to open it up early, get everything updated...and make sure the games work properly of course, before wrapping it back up for them.

Unless the makeup of the game reporting industry is split 50/50 men and women, it’s absurd to try and force a 50/50 split of the judges.

Since you're acting like you don't already know, let me say it loud & clear.....XENOBLADE CHRONICLES X!!!!

PS3 exclusives are really not that good.

Diablo III on consoles just controls much better than most. Every other crawler I’ve tried (not that many honestly) feels clunky.

So you’re saying that the arbitrary questions that randomly assign you a pokemon that you can actually pick for yourself makes you want this game? Man. You have some weird taste.

It’s like thieves complaining their stuff they used to steal things with, was stolen by those who they stole from.

Hear hear. Legend of Heroes looks like a bit of an indie game compared to Xenoblade.

Eh, opinions.

Seriously? I’ve had no difficulties with bugs or glitches, and I’m not sure what you’re calling ‘ugly’. The game is gorgeous, and this is the smoothest Bethesda launch I’ve seen in awhile.

This review kinda cements the idea for me: let us buy, digitally at least, the campaign and multiplayer separately. I’d love to pay $20 or so to run through one of these cinematic campaigns, but I have zero desire to ever play CoD multiplayer or yet another L4D clone.

MOBA by definition is Multiplayer Online Battle Arena. So overwatch is a MOBA by the strictest of definitions.
