No kidding. My draw to Halo was the LACK of a level up system that explicitly favors players who play more. I understand you get better at the game as you play, but you really shouldn't be giving the best weapons to the people that play the most, gating off late adopters, or at least frustrating them.

Card's bigotry is a really puzzling thing. I have his blog bookmarked. Not because I agree with everything he write, but because I vehemently disagree with a lot that he says and I go back and think about my position to see if I have enough evidence to support it. But every once and a while, OSC mentions gay people…

Please Nintendo. Please. Make a hardcore, beautiful, 2D zelda for the Wii-U. You could make some graphical enhancements with powers and maybe bosses, but if you made a really incredible 2D zelda, it would be a dream come true.

Ugh, I totally knew that. I apparently just ignored knowing about From and was intent on praising Atlus!

Atlus has slowly become one of my favorite modern game companies. Apart from making some of the most unique and exciting JRPGs, they also branch out and make interesting games like this. Demon's Souls was a hell of a ride, and I'm going to finally make an archery character during this last month online.

I bet this guy raged when anybody picked Oddjob.

Ummm, was that item sort ability in the main game? I don't recall ever being able to sort items by value or weight.

"We don't have worlds or experiences that can continue and last for extended periods of time."

I am not offended, and I find this funny in pretty much every context. I remove my hat to your wit, sir/madam/asari.

I'll say it, I enjoyed RE:5. It may not have been on par with RE:4, but it was still an enjoyable game. The co-op part was really the only thing I disliked. Take out that aspect, and it would've been a btter game.

Yeah. I love PA and whenever they get involved in a controversy, I'm usually all for it since they're generally supportive of their readers or have a good reason for doing something (ie the MAss Effect charity drive).

I made the mistake of playing pretty much all of 358/2 on a plane trip to Japan. That is not a game you should power through.

Shhhhhh, don't let the non-stars know! That's star status knowledge only!

As interested as I am in graphics, I'm interested more in launch price and how many of the special controllers you can hook up at once. As with any Nintendo launch, this is going to be exciting. Even more so since the other companies will have time to tweak their own systems and respond.

My theory is that Nomura wanted to back away from naming all of the titles in the series (like FF), since all the games except for 1 and 2 are subtitled, no matter their importance. I think it would have been incredibly effective, and significant, if BBS had been Kingdom Hearts 0: Birth By Sleep. Keep the subtitle,…

Yeah, one of the reasons I have trouble with the BBS:FM secret bosses is the fact that I spent so much time leveling Terra and getting used to his playstyle, and he just really isn't suited for the secret bosses. Both Aqua and Ven have more going for them at that point and I just haven't had a chance to jump back in…

You had me at a Wizard reference. Still one of my favorite goofy movies to watch.

I have played every game released in this series. Every. Single. Game. The only one I couldn't play was the original Coded since I don't have a Japanese cell phone. I bought a japanese PS2 while I was visiting and have played both Final Mixes to completion. Beating Terra's Lingering Sentiment was just so…

"Now Terra, it is time for the final union! I swore I would see what lay beyond the Keyblade War. And now, your darkness will be the ark that sustains me!"

It's probably because Martin has been licensing the shit out of Game of Thrones for years. He didn't need to license it to anyone really good because it didn't matter. It just so happened that Fantasy Flight (makers of the board and card games) actually put a lot of effort into their games and thus they're really…
