Hahaha. How is complaining about silencing tactics a silencing tactic? And I like how, just to make sure that people wouldn't confuse your post with a legitimate argument, you went and put in some sexist bullshit in there to boot. "Beta" my arse. I guess you hate men as well as wanting to maintain an oppressive…

It's nothing to do with Xbox Fanboys or Americans. It's because I love the system that I expect more from it. It's not even living up to the PSP's "No guys, really! It's good!" reputation - it's hard to justify to anyone when its best games are small quirky games like Gravity Rush, lesser versions of console games,…

Cue the outraged masses of anti-woman rhetoric or attempts at silencing this kind of discussion! Which only ends up proving that it's a discussion worth having after all...

Spanish is piss easy compared to English. Regular phonetic spelling? Yes please.

Absolutely agree. Weird how scared they can be about establishing new IP at times.

Yeah, kinda makes the more disappointing departures from FFXI even more annoying, since they didn't change up the most basic visual feel. Heck, if they'd just gone and done the FFTA/FF12 races it would've been preferable (and felt more FFish).

Couldn't agree more

Well, he has the right ideas about FFXI and why FFXIV failed, at least. More power to him, and I wish him the best of luck.

I'm all of a sudden very thankful for all the consumer protection we get in the UK... banks are typically on your side when it comes to fraud or other companies being at fault

Absolutely agree. It's a tragedy that the series will never find an audience in America. I might be British but I've never given a crap about Football/Soccer - and yet IE1+2 are some of the best RPGs I've played in yonks. Like that Blitzball sequel we never got.

Tokyo Jungle, because more people need to play that game and appreciate for the arcadey genius it truly is.

So... Enter the Dragon style DLC? This game is going from strength to strength

I can see where you're coming from, and yet - it's not quite the same as them not coming out at all.

I play portables in bed before sleep, on the toilet, on the bus, on planes or long journeys, or just on the sofa when someone is watching something on TV I'm not interested in. It's funny how much empty downtime can turn into gaming time with a portable console. And honestly, some of the gaming experiences (Crisis…

It's a crime that this game slipped under the radar for so many. When I hear people moan about the death of the JRPG I don't know whether to laugh or cry - those great JRPGs have all been on the PSP and DS this gen, and Radiant Historia is one of the best examples of that. Simply some of the best dialogue, characters…

I was initially excited when the boom started in the smaller cities around 2007/8, since it was a change from the collectible card-driven stuff that has excited for untold years (and is now dominated by Sanguo Sha), but it's a little sad to see it dying off in the bigger cities already. I certainly didn't see many in…

They might be declining in Shanghai, but Shanghai always was a weird one - richer, more Westernised, etc, than all of non-HK China. In Xi'an the board game cafes are still fairly common! Of course, their decline in Shanghai may just be SH being ahead of the curve yet again, and so we'll see a similar decline…

30 bucks? Nah, those who already have access get given Gift Keys for free every now and again and pass them out to mates - those same gift keys are sold on ebay for a few bucks (average price of about £5 in the UK), but yeah, lots of people still getting it for free.

I basically was. But even then, the accent they were using in the clip was more or less modern posh British, so it was consistency I was requiring rather than historical accuracy!
