I tried indexing all my games last year, starting with the physical ones - because I’m a hoarder, their number is rapidly approaching 4 digits, so I figured I’d be really smart, and bought a barcode scanner (the cell-phone ones take way too long), and scanned every last UPC into a spreadsheet over several evenings.

Half-right. It certainly doesn’t serve to show any sort of causative relationship, but it definitely shows that they are correlated; in fact, that’s the only thing it shows.

Sorry if I was being to indirect for you: your comments came across as ignorant, culturally colorblind, and, while not overtly racist, highly dismissive and insulting of two very different foreign cultures that happen to have a long, bloody history with each other and don’t necessarily like being mistaken for each…

Just like the definition of white trash is a skin-headed trailer-park junkie wearing a wife-beater; it’s a term created to insult Japanese media fans, branding them as mindless Japan-fanatics that can’t even be bothered to learn the language, yet still worship moonrunes at their secret otaku altar every night.

It’s kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don’t scenario, though:

According to the article, people *are* having issues with it, hence why the developer is giving the option to toggle between art styles. The only reason for your criticism seems to be a love of denigrating a certain fan base. Grow up.

Unlucky immortal grump simulator?

Japanese idol choreography is vastly different from Kpop choreography. Just because you can’t tell the difference between the creations from two significantly different cultures don’t make them the same. Or are you one of those “all Asians look alike” people? And which is more influential to the dance world really has…

800GB? Was there a special 32k texture-pack I wasn’t aware of?

So well Bethesda has them on their list of extra-special friends.

This may be the first time I’ve come across a post where I literally disagree with every single sentence (or rather, think you’re plain objectively wrong for all but the last one, which is subjective):

I’m sorry to disappoint you, but this is definitely Jpop dancing - kpop, surprisingly enough, is from Korea, jpop from Japan. Hence the 'k' and 'j'. This is a Japanese game, with Japanese pop songs, and Japanese pop dancing.

I’ve always wanted to play that - just the concept alone of combining Nobunaga’s Ambition with collectible cartoon monsters stuffed into balls is so wonderfully absurd, it has to be worth playing

When increasing the stash size destabilizes the game, you’ve got some larger issues with your basic inventory management implementation under the hood. Probably the same old issue that would cause your inventory menu to take over a minute to load, and run like molasses after it did, when you had too many items on you…

To be fair, it's an electric rat. Momma spent extra cause she cares.

It’s one of the dark secrets of the Pokemon world - humans there are functionally immortal, and can only die of old age. They can get beat up, bruised, but they always recover in record time. That’s why there is no war. Or, should I say, no direct war. All citizens are taught from an early age to raise Pokemon, to…

Nah, I just dislike assholes. And RE: kittens, sadistic assholes are sadistic assholes in everything they do, and I could practically smell your shit-eating grin as you thought of people’s hardware bricking from here. Noticed you wouldn’t deny the part about the girlfriend. Poor thing.

Inquisition takes most of what you hated and dials it up further, so probably best to keep away. I managed to get over the dumbed-down combat, customization, and general RPG-ness in DA2 because I enjoyed the characters a lot, but it was still depressing (I pre-ordered the PC version at the time, and after 5 minutes of…

I would rate it above Inquisition but below Origins, going solely by plot, gameplay and characterization. The small number of maps are reused to a point beyond absurdity, and production quality suffered from the insane rush EA forced on Bioware, but the dumbed-down RPG mechanics are still well above Inquisition’s…

I never once claimed to like or support piracy, I just don’t feel the need to actively cheer at the idea of those that do having their expensive hardware illegally destroyed. You, on the other hand, seem to be getting off on imagining their misfortune.
