Great list with the exception of Final Fantasy XIII. The only thing that it defined during this generation is pushing graphical appeal to the limit, yet that unfortunately bogged down everything else with the game. I'm baffled by its inclusion in this list to be honest instead of the true definers such as Ni No Kuni,…

Is there a recommended method to update new PS4s? Is it better to boot up from safe mode at first and perform the update via USB before the initial setup? Or should we go through the initial setup then update the firmware via internet?

I'm happy that he's happy. Eventually though, I see Ono following the path of Inafune by being burned out at Capcom. He will likely create his own independent company and take fighters in a whole new direction. I'll definitely back that if it hits Kickstarter!

I'm glad I didn't import it under the assumption that it was region free.

I initially thought filming would be for marketing purposes, like making a whole documentry of the development of this game for YouTube uploads or something. But filming as part of development standards? Very strange and indeed uncomfortable. This is the first time I hear of something like this being implemented in a…

Yeah I'm glad you share my opinion. You're truly right when you say that we shouldn't play our favorite game series with a checklist of pre-determined ideas of how it should play...if we all do that, the series will be forced into being extremely formulaic, a critique that's already been placed by some people on Zelda…

Exactly! I absolutely agree with your examples. For some reason, there are Zelda fans out there who treat the games as purely a gameplay experience when in fact that there's an existing narrative which keeps the pace in check. Also, Skyward Sword shouldn't be treated as a bread and butter Zelda game due to the fields…

Regarding Mario and Luigi: Dream Team, I played it and completed it, and the tutorials at the intro are skippable; you can say no to Toadsworth...but the events themselves are not. Again, it's a developer's choice of pacing and it's an RPG which usually has a slower pace. When a new mechanic arises, we shouldn't fault…

Nah, not neccessarily. I didn't mean to write it that way. My fault if you understood it like that.

I'm sorry but that Gamasutra article bothers me. I remember it making airwaves when it was first written as it if were a new discovery or a big deal...when the fact of the matter is that the author and the article's believers are making an issue out of nothing!

This is one of the few exceptions where I say...the more ports, the marrier. I'm having a blast with the Wii U version and the second screen experience is very exciting, good to have that translated to next-gen platforms. Fun and beautiful game which should not be overlooked. I have two worlds left, but I'm…

It's great that MS's PR is dealing with this so well. This definitely wouldn't be the case had they not changed their ways after the always online fiasco during E3. I'm happy for the dude. He got to brag about his early system, leak his findings to the world like a champ, get YT ad revenue, and will fly to the launch…

I was initially excited by the positives of the new comment system. I already have Google Plus so the integration was smooth and seamless. It is now easier to access and reply to comments from YouTube through that bell icon which displays all new notifications on-the-fly. I also like that the comments can be easily…

Total respect to Mr. Sakurai's dedication. This will obviously improve the game's quality a ton. Kid Icarus Uprising is one of my favorite games I've played in recent years and argubly one of the most powerful handheld games of all time. It drips with detail, quality, and quantity. I'm sure the next Smash will be the…

I did but I skimmed through the part talking about his new ventures for some reason. My bad!

Nicely written story and a very interesting perspective to one of the most infamous debacles of 2013. I'm happy for the guy and I'm glad he filtered out the destructive criticism and didn't let horrible comments get to him in the long run. Sure, he deserved to be put in his place by constructive criticism, but not to…

I like these changes. We'll see where this will go in the long run, but for now it looks like communities will be better managed and focus more on constructive criticism and less on cussing and blind hate. I also like the fact that comment seem to no longer have certain character limits.

I guess girls being fine with it is a lot more common that I've perceived. I haven't met girls who would be fine with it, so color me surprised.

I saw this video recently and jumped into his website to read up more. I'm not necessarily saying that porn is evil, it's just desensitizing us in a way to the real thing. It sort of scared me to be quite honest.
