If you can believe it, it's worse than that. There is no DLC right now, so they can't even nickel and dime you. I have no idea what the hell they were thinking with this game. I know what I'm thinking - this should've been delayed.
Bloobs?
That parody is exceedingly well done. I chuckled.
He's kind of an ass. This really hit home with me. Apparently we weren't ready for the greatness of Milo. It wasn't because the idea was stupid and fake.
Editor flub on my part! Sorry about that, I apparently can't add. I just fixed it up to read properly...
Definitely excited to find out what that special suprise is. Also very excited for this in general, though I'm a bit upset that they didn't include Deadlocked, as that's still considered mainline. Oh well, it's not that great of a game anyway.
You'd be surprised at how common this shit is. Totally awful.
Just got a chance to listen to this and it seems the article in question is just down on Final Fantasy XIII. I find the intense frustration around that game kind of amusing. I loved it as I felt it distilled RPGs down to their core essence, stripping away all of the extraneous nonsense that typically loses me.
It's not a game for everyone and I think the fact that they did something so bold with Final Fantasy mainline rubbed most people the wrong way. However, if nothing more, I think people need to recognize that it's an interesting experiment and an effort to shake up JRPGs, which are constantly complained about for not changing much.
In response to Angelo regarding Dragon Quest, I think the arrangement there is a bit different. For one, Dragon Quest is pretty niche here and after it failed for Square Enix with the DS release of DQ V, they wanted a safer route to bring these games to the west. Nintendo must've struck up some publishing agreement to get these titles as exclusives to their systems. Regardless, I feel like that series works pretty well on Nintendo consoles. Their main fan base supports games like that whereas those of the PS3 and 360 have moved on to western RPGs.
This is absolutely mindblowing. After playing for the Sony team for so long, it's going to take some getting used to with him at Microsoft.
One piece of advice, Phil, please get Rare doing something worthwhile again. Thanks.
Same here. Online play holds nothing for me at this point. I prefer the good old days where you could hop into any game on PC and play without microphones or anyone harassing you.
I do enjoy the rare occasion I can play with friends, but it's so infrequent that I could really live without the online play. Honestly, when I do get the opportunity to play with friends, I'd rather they just come over, but god knows it's only a matter of time before local multiplayer is gone for good.
Sometimes the state of gaming makes me really sad. I wish we could go back to a simpler time.
