quen commented on Today Was Nazi, Bikini Lady, Toilet Paper, at 9:30 AM on May 22 @BauerStyle: To be honest I don't care if they wear Nazi uniforms as fancy dress - residents of the UK will recall that that's, um, not an activity entirely restricted to the Japanese. IMO if Japan as a nation needs to sort something out related to WW2 it's not any kind of 'political correctness', it's the various attempts to minimise Japanese atrocities from the period. more »

quen commented on Resident Evil Wii Titles, DMC4 Boost Capcom In FY08, at 5:31 AM on May 22 @Torgen got his apology faceplate but not his fixed GH3 disc: Yes, I know that; I'm just speculating that if you take advantage of the power of a PS3/60 to provide large levels with open viewlines, those might be especially problematic to port on Wii. (In other words in a large level some things might already be not very detailed even on PS3/60, so you can't always just reduce detail and have it work on Wii.) more »

quen commented on Nintendo: Wii Gamers Are Hardcore Gamers, at 4:00 PM on May 21 @wild homes: That's a valid opinion, sure, but some of us have been playing Mario games and Mario Kart games for a long time and don't feel in any way 'abandoned' by the newest ones. Yes, Mario Galaxy is easier than the 2D mario games (except fucking luigi's fucking purple coins, which I'm stuck on - uh not that I've tried it like 100 times or anything) but it didn't seem strikingly easier than Mario Sunshine to me. more »

quen commented on Nintendo: Wii Has Highest Software Sales for First 18 Months, at 3:45 PM on May 21 @KM91: Those statements will still be rolled out any time some 'hardcore gamer' feels a little worried twinge in their stone-cold heart that maybe Wii might be a success even though the system doesn't allow you to shout homophobic insults while blowing off somebody's head with a rocketlauncher. more »

quen commented on Your Game Consoles Have Hazardous Chemicals!, at 10:53 AM on May 20 @UFO: It's a lot more fashionable to hate environmentalists (not just hippies) nowadays. I think the reason is that various environmental problems - um, probably not pthalates in video game consoles - are becoming ever more serious/evident. more »

quen commented on Young Males *Heart* PS3, Young Females *Heart* Wii, at 5:28 AM on May 20 Wait a minute - is it supposed to be surprising that 360 is doomed to third place worldwide? If you're looking to continue the 'console war' it's time to move to America - maybe there'll be a survey in the US, which is the only continent where 360 has a chance. more »

quen commented on 2.8 Percent Of Japanese 5th Graders Play Erotic Games, at 5:38 AM on May 19 @Hypnotoad222 Any commenters after this, read the link Hypnotoad gave (which had a confusing title but is important) - the 2.8% figure is actually for adult-rated games such as Grand Theft Auto, not H games. There is a specific H game category which - I'm squinting at the graph now - seems to show that: 0% frequently play 0.1% play sometimes 0.6% (have played once? more »
