yeah but MMOs need big communities and letting people play for free can help that. If you like the game enough you can pay, but if you choose not to you know what your missing. What's nuts seems to be having people pay for a subscription and then, when they want to make an alt, charging them for boosts and such. …

I don't know about the deficiencies, all games are basically designed so you can't beat them in one quick go. MMOs are the same way only more so. So free to play MMOs are only somewhat slower than a generally slow moving game.

Say what?

I don't know, playing through NG+ it's like the entire game is an asshole.

They sort of set it up so that always have an out if you've played smart. That's just how it works. If you've played poorly you really will hit every ambush the worst way possible. God, I died so many times in the Gutter.

You have to read through all of this one, but it's a great in-joke.

One word: radical.

This is just an April Fools tweet. Nintendo made their choices, don't act like some tweets are going to have any effect on them.

Meet Rande. He's a level 5 Khajiit Nightblade named after my dead cat. He'll be my representative in the world of Tamriel as I spend the next several weeks playing The Elder Scrolls Online for review.

I picked up a couple of old Square RPGs over the break, and looking at the instruction manuals it perfectly sums up why even if they do start pushing towards more RPGs it really won't be like it was. Every game was fantastic, for the most part, and there was so much variety. The Saga Frontier manual advertises FF7,…

Hope you enjoy Dark Souls 2 Tina. Don't be afraid to drop your soapstone and hit up some jolly cooperation. If you use the little one you get rewarded with these stones you can trade in the nest (in the intro area) for stuff like twinkling titanite. Just make sure to wear your gear with item find when you do it,…

Both Ground Zeroes and The Phantom Pain tell the story of Big Boss, aka Snake, played this time around by Kiefer "Kiefer" Sutherland. Ground Zeroes picks up a few years after the end of 2010's portable game Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker and acts as a prequel/mid-quel (is that a thing?) connecting the 2010 game with…

This game definitely deserves an expansion. But yeah, by the last half of the game for me I just backstabbed every single enemy over and over, sometimes mugging them first to get a stun effect. I think that a little bit more diversity late game would have been a good move, but at the same time I know they wanted to…

Wait, is that Killzone and a bunch of Wii games added to the Wii U game library shot?

I got to be honest, I think the new style works with how the game looks. The lines of the game don't seem fat enough to make the original designs really work.

Keep a dream journal, write up your dreams right when you wake up. When you write in it, it helps you realize you're dreaming. You basically have to hack your brain so you realize you're dreaming, and you do that by being able to tell when you're experiencing a dream.

Agreed. The SMT games generally want you to play smarter versus just playing longer. Still, don't know why Persona 4 would get on a "20 JRPGs people should play" list over P3FES.
