I dunno, I still have my FF7 t-shirt from when it was first launched on the PS1, high from all years of replaying FFVI, I figured it would be the amazing game everyone always treats it as, and it was decently epic, but a stones throw from the replayability and might of VI, so when stuff like the non-remake release of…

Sony's proposed solution to the PS4's lack of backwards compatibility, to let us stream games from older systems directly to our PS4 and Vita, sounds okay on paper. But there's a catch: You have to rent games individually, and the prices to do so were were ridiculous at launch. While prices have lowered somewhat since…

As of a couple months ago, Amazon started charging sales tax in my state (Minnesota), makes me want to use them less as I have to caculate how much of those savings get shaved off by this newfound added fee (and, from what I can tell, the reasons for adding this tax finally are a little shady, no regular distribution…

A PC Soundbar, interesting. I remember a decade and change ago when the 5.1 PC speakers were really hitting their stride, only sidelined by how bulky and ridiculous it was to set up rears around a computer. I settled on a solid 2.1 setup eventually (Oh THX Logitech Z series, why can't you be replicated again?). So…

Yeah, about that "first raid", hasn't their been several since? Heck, I could swear I read this exact same article a year ago, and maybe again the previous year.

I was actually wondering how one does the save file thing. I have been holding onto my PS1 save file for Suikoden all these years, but I don't think I want to go through the trouble of extracting it off my Ps1 memory card. Heck, it's sad that I will never get to make use the discs again, but maybe I should just start…

Not exactly. Suikoden II didn't make much of a commercial splash, thanks to A) that clunky title; B) Konami's insistence upon sticking to 2D graphics instead of moving to 3D; and C) the fact that it launched in North America just a couple of weeks after Final Fantasy VIII.

Can I still smugly brag that I own a PS1 copy of it :P ?

My dilemma reflects a few others that I've read so far, in that it's sooooo cool, but at the same time also rather ugly :P . I can't decide if I would want to buy it (I don't own a PS4 yet) or just get the regular (or heaven forbid Destiny) edition.

I understand this, but not only is that practice often disdained (see Avatar movie), but in this particular case, it messes with a very particular aspect of the story, leading them to, it seems, alter the story in a way that makes it discomforting, from where it takes place, to the makeup of the characters themselves.

Freddie's come a long way since Wing Commander...

The PS4 lets stream PS3 games (for money). The PS4 lets users play PS3 games through the recently-launched PlayStation Now service. You can stream any of a number of games if your Internet connection is fast enough to handle a two-way streaming signal (you're basically remotely playing on a PS3 that is in some server…

The PS4 lets you "hand the controller" to a friend in another zip code. The PS4 also supports a new feature called Share Play, which allows any paying PlayStation Plus subscriber to "host" a session of most PS4 games that they own, enabling a second, remote PS4 user to spectate the host's game through their console…

I dunno, the diversity of the characters and the Euro vibe was part of the whole appeal of the thing, Asian-a-fying it, particularly in this case, takes some of that away. Heck, they even talk briefly about how there aren't that many Asians left in the Attack on Titan world, so yeah, this kind of obfuscates that in a…

Yeah, I'm going to have to take the plunge on the whole "it all was looking swell until the Armin casting." I am always impressed when an anime doesn't make the setting defacto Japan or make everyone Japanese, and while they are a lot better at that now than they even were a decade ago, one of the things that…

You mean for all the suckers who didn't pounce on this deal back in the PS2 days? Because yeah, mine is still gathering dust since the solid month or so I played it almost a decade ago :P .

You had me at "Capcom 90's Arcade game"...granted I've been otherwise living under a rock so despite it being a somewhat talked about Blizzard game, this is all I so far know about Overwatch (or care about because...come on...that art is tasty).

I had a feeling there would be one thing on here I have not only heard of but actually liked, you leave Rude Dog alone! I liked that one :P .

I don't really know if I should support this line of thought now that we have so much that is digitized, thus making physical items true collectors items, or if I'm still soured on people buying multiple copies of a game when it comes out to "collect" them (one needs only look to just about any Blizzard LE release,…

Wow, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit....and it tasted conflictingly good..
