"Overall it's a very curiosity killed the cat affair. You want to know what's in the box, but you're well aware that nothing good could be waiting in there." Read more

This can only end badly.

I want every Yakuza game in English so badly. Read more

I'll definitely give this a shot. Ever since discovering Junji Ito's stuff, I've been wanting to expand my J-horror manga horizons. Read more

I have a problem with horror movies and (kind of) horror games, but I've found horror manga to be so much more interesting. Read more

Sounds like it could be interesting, thanks for the headsup! Read more

Awesome. Been waiting for something on par with Uzumaki. Read more

Thanks for the review! I'm gonna go read it right away. Sounds awesome. Read more

I think the saddest part about this article is that while it's message is incredibly important and has a message that just about every gamer should understand (although many don't), it won't get anywhere near as many views as the other articles solely because it's about manga. Read more

I understand the statement.
Yet the problem is deeper that you might think.

I am a game dev and yes I am one of these devils that build F2P games.
In 2010 I was still working on "B" Wii/DS titles. Sold each for about 30$ a piece.
Then in 2011 we tackled head on the iOS store, build very fun games with no micro… Read more

Wow. That is some profound commentary on paid reward systems. What is sad, is how true it rings. Read more

When you accomplish difficult tasks using your mind and body, your brain rewards you by releasing chemicals. The exhilaration after exercising, the proud feeling after being complimented, being moved to tears... These… Read more

That's a profound way of identifying how the reward systems of those types of games work. Read more

Not an issue for me. They ship complete story games with very little glitches. The story and game play is always good, if not great. Costumes are fodder for the most part. It's not a requirement to buy it to make the game enjoyable. Read more

Fanfiction DLC is best DLC.

I already have saved some JP PSN card for the Tales Cameo Costumes just because god damn i love those, will probably cave in for the Evangelion and Idolm@ster ones. Read more

The truly sad thing? That given the opportunity, I would buy all of this DLC. Easily. Especially those Eva outfits, wow. Read more

This is why I have no interest in the Tales series anymore. One of the biggest reasons I liked it way back when (Symphonia, Abyss, Vesperia) was because of all of the unlockables. Especially the costumes. Now though, they give you almost nothing in game, you have to buy it all. It's so sad, and very disappointing. I… Read more

I'm a little conflicted, because these costumes do look really good + the change in music/sound-effects is really nice, as far as additional costumes go. Then again, the price of getting it all would be a pain for completionists. Then again, I doubt anyone really needs this many sets of costumes to get through the… Read more
