I can respect them telling us (again I believe, if memory serves they did the same round of explanations for the first game and Monster MonPiece(name might be off?)) and honestly everything except the fourth bit doesn’t even sound bad. I’d rather they have localized (read not just translated but made it work) the text… Read more

Explaining the reasoning behind a publisher’s censorship decision is actually a pretty good idea. Nice write up, Patrick. Read more

Wow... I can’t understand how anybody could think that’s an interaction that isn’t coming right back to bite them in the ass.

The easy was too easy, the hard was too hard, and I got sick of the headache of deciding which one I should be playing and just stopped enjoying the game at all and moved on to something else.

Still on my first play through but I started on ultra-nightmare. It forces you to manage your inventory and be aware of where all the baddies are and where their attacks are coming from during fights. After a bit though you adjust and this awareness just becomes the norm. Then you can begin to kill with style. (… Read more
