Count me in as one of those types of target audience. I agree with Paradox me. Even though i can find some enjoyment in Bethesda games, ultimately games such as Oblivion, Fallout 3 and NV, just feel to me like the same game with different wallpaper. I still play them, mostly because I get a few laughs from being a…

Amen brother!

kudos, Shinta. You are speaking a lot of reason in a world were hating japanese developers/games has become the cool thing to do. Like a commenter said above, I always expect to see your comments that definitely bring some balance to the very biased articles and constant senseless bashing towards Japanese developers.

I miss pre-rendered cutscenes. It is true that some games do have really good graphics that they can definitely get away with using them as far as storytelling goes (The Witcher 2, for example) but i definitely agree that the eye candy was one of the biggest things I was looking forward to after a big fight. Before…

It's funny how opinions can be so similar and different at the same time.

my feelings exactly. $175.00 .. .srsly?

I haven't tried Indian curry..but I've tried both Thai and Japanese curry.

First Person Shooters! Western gamers love 'em. Yessiree! =p

Can't wait to play it! <3

I live in Puerto Rico, and at least as far as I know, pendejo over hear in the literal sense means "pubic hair" ....as in a single strand of pubic hair. but of course, it's also used as an insult, which would mean something like asshole. it's never been used over here as faggot, the word for that would be…

Something that nobody has mentioned yet but might work for you if you don't stay at a ryokan:

...I dunno bout him, but I don't really care for any of the games you listed, yet i still come to Kotaku in hopes of reading about some other game that might "catch my fancy", and because I've been gaming for a long, long time; probably longer than most around here. i.e. I love gaming. =p.

downward slope? subjective opinion is subjective:

funny, FFX is my favorite Final Fantasy and indeed one of my favorite games of all time.

All i can say is....

you speak truth. seriously. However fun Fallout New Vegas, Fallout 3, Elder Scrolls: Oblivion may be, it's just the same game with different coating. nevermind FPS.

eh, might explain lower sales for Nintendo games (don't know what statistics are).

eh, I've always had both consoles. But my Microsoft experience has not been the best. I've gone through 4 RROD with my xbox 360, and i've only given it moderate use. My PS3 is fromt he first generation and i've given it tons of use; and it's still in tip top shape so far. XBOX 360 has great games and I have a lot…

Well... whatever excitement and anticipation I had for the game just flew out the window. I guess that's about $65.00 i've saved.

A month. But I was traveling through Bangkok and Japan, so that was awesome! xD
