I haven't really bothered consulting game reviews when I buy games for many years,, which is part of why "game journalism corruption" has been a non-issue for me. I know what kind of games I like. The only thing I really need to know is if a game is obviously broken.

The only kind of reviews which might resonate with me are "thumbs up/thumbs down", a la Siskel and Ebert, or the "buy/rent/skip" model of reviewing, but even then. I generally ignore reviews.

Probably thinking of Salazar the midget from RE4.

A list that in many spots, I can agree with.

Majora's Mask is not my favorite Zelda - I preferred the Gamecube era over the N64 era when it comes to that series - but on the other hand, the amount of detail that went into planning schedules for every NPC was staggering, and necessitated the three-day time limit.

FFIX is a fine game with a lot of polish and definitely one of the high points of the series. FFIX and Majora's Mask were my 2000 GOTYs.

RE Code: Veronica, while I still prefer RE4 and missed this game during its original Dreamcast release, was still a very solid game.

I've always enjoyed the Sim games, or at least I did until Will Wright left Maxis and left the Sims in the hands of EA executives that don't seem to know their asses from their heads with regards to the games. The original SimCity with its EGA graphics and PC Speaker sound (which sounded like two cats screwing in a blender set on "puree") kept my 13-year-old self glued to my computer for hours on end, the original Sims likewise, and my most recent Maxis game was SimCity 4. Love all the intricacies and humor of the Sim games.

Sorry, Green, your post just reminded me of that joke.

Smash Bros for Wii U, Fantasy Life, The Evil Within.

Ir's also out on PS4.

Warriors Orochi 3 Ultimate does have crossover characters from Soulcalibur in it, along with crossovers from other Koei Tecmo franchises like Atelier, Ninja Gaiden, and Dead or Alive.

I hope the Dragon Quest Heroes game makes it out. I really enjoyed Hyrule Warriors myself and I like Dragon Quest.

I have a couple of ideas for Musou games: Springfield Warriors (featuring The Simpsons) and Futurama Warriors. I think a Metroid-themed Musou game could be good too.

I was interested in Destiny originally, but the more I've read about it the less interested I was. I'm probably going to skip it altogether. Looks too much like a FPS MMORPG for my taste, and if I want a MMO, I'll stick with FFXIV.

Freakin' sweet. Ready for some RPGs for my PS4. :)

Happy to be of service to you. As cynical as I may seem sometimes, I didn't care for that crowd dog-piling on you on Twitter and on 1UP, especially as I consider you to be a friend. I've also read some of the shit you've put up with on the RPG Maker forums. There's legit criticism... and then there's being an asshole for the sake of being an asshole.  I saw precious little of the former and an awful lot of the latter.
