Fernando Jorge's discussions

Just a reminder to everyone, this isn't the fault of politically correct people censoring poor old Square-Enix. This is a decision from Square-Enix based on what they think fits the European market. Read more

The problem is not money. It isn't a problem that there are pros making money with the game, that there are sponsored events and whatnot. Read more

BTW, this whole process I describe there, with Square setting stupidly high standards for JRPGs on the strength of the FF name also explains why JRPGs in general just sort of went to the pooper. Read more

That split fanbase thing doesn't happen and if it does there's no way anyone can actually know it. There's barely even a BoF community, and what exists of it seems to do just fine on Dragon Tear and the Wiki. Truth is people would love any game as long as it wasn't a random mobile game with the BoF name slapped on it,… Read more

I think Capcom doesn't care, and can't even know, if a game tore the fan base apart. I can't even know that, how does someone measure this kind of thing, and I can't say it matters at all for anything. It's not like a fan base can be irremediably damaged. At most you can say some people liked it, some didn't, that's… Read more

You're not Breath of Fire and you killed the series. Read more

Based on that quote makes me think he'd really love Crusader Kings 2, but I also think if he says that about Façade he is scoffing at a lot of other games that fit into his idea of a good, worthwhile game. Read more

I think Capcom killed it, not Dragon Quarter. Read more

The story is fun. Like other BoF games the story doesn't escalate too much, it's more focused on the characters and that's easily the strongest part. BoF3's cast is the coolest one in the series. The story is in the same tone as 4, goofy most of the times and occasionally darker. Same old dragon stuff, Ryu the big… Read more

A lot of cool stuff in 4 was created in 3. BoF3 and 4 are very much alike, both about as great too. Read more

Have you tried 3? If you liked 4 I think you'll like 3. Read more

Dragon Quarter changed a ton of things in the series, and it was still an awesome game. Despite all the changes, it was still a Breath of Fire games in a number of ways. Read more

Looks super cool but the backgrounds during the shoot'em up part are so bare. Read more

I thought characters were for sale in LoL. Isn't it like that? Unless they changed it.

Is what I was thinking the entire time and thought it was really bad when he said "artists sometimes forwards the medium in the wrong direction", as if there's a right and a wrong way to do games. He talks about video games in a very restrictive way, as if there's just one worthwhile goal, so no wonder he feels… Read more

"In life," he replied, "the single most important and regular statement that humans make to one another is: 'I like you' and 'I don't like you'. We have a million ways to say this, and we use them every day. The verbs we need to learn in games are all to do with social reasoning, not spatial reasoning." Read more

Nobody owns chess, the many people who can make money off of chess don't get to control the game. Read more

Yes but also obviously made so that it'd make money. Free to play doesn't mean the game wasn't created to make money. LoL makes buckets of money for a reason. Read more

Street Fighter 2 is still played competitively, but very few people still give a crap to it. That's what Kasparov meant, I think. Everyone's playing Ultra SSF4. Read more

Point was that the strategic purity of chess (or go, etc) is timeless for a reason. No storyline to tire of, no expansion packs to buy! — Garry Kasparov (@Kasparov63) December 26, 2013 Read more
