I'm not knocking Atlus at all. My point was that the half naked chicks and bizarre imagery has had all the gaming sites foaming at the mouth over what turns out to be a game built around the least fun parts of Tomb Raider. If I'm criticizing anyone here, it's the game media for creating a HUGE amount of hype for a… Read more

So after all the hype and speculation about whether it'll be RPG or dating simulator...... it's block pulling and climbing? Wow. It's very doubtful this game would be getting ANY mainstream exposure if it weren't for the sexy anime women and crazy sheep things. Read more

Your complaint was that modern games that take place in the "real world" are always pro-American victory, and the whole "team" thing is why. The nice part is that if you're annoyed by that, there's tons of great shooters out there that don't have anything to say about America, Russians, Nazis, etc. Gears, Halo,… Read more

Yeah, I'd go with the new car. Read more

Games are escapist fun. The home team winning is fun. Most modern shooters are made in America, and patterned after Hollywood blockbusters to capitalize on their popularity. Read more

Interesting viewpoint. I'd say that it goes a long way toward proving what I've always thought- that majority of liberals or "progressives" do and say the things they do because they think it makes them appear kind, generous and nonviolent to other people. In public they extol the virtues of government forcibly… Read more

Oh wow, you "see my Cadillac avatar"? Your powers of perception are astounding. And here I thought it was invisible all this time. Read more

A ton of GM cars (such as the CTS) have had Bluetooth on the steering wheel, USB connectivity, voice controlled radio tuners, Gracenote and an 8" touchscreen since.....you know, long before Sync. Read more

The meaning of what I said is perfectly clear to everyone except you, and an analogy is NOT a metaphor. Metaphor transfers the meaning of one word to another (pirate=rapist), while an analogy establishes a parallel relationship between terms (pirate=fan as rapist=romantic). I was using the rapist=romantic analogy… Read more

No I didn't. I said that claiming people pirate games out of "fandom" is as ridiculous as claiming rapists do it for love. As Keep it Real so astutely points out, it was an analogy- not a metaphor. Read more

Thank you. Read more

Weren't the proportions on the SNES version slightly off? I seem to remember them being a tad bit "squished", like watching a 4:3 movie stretched onto a 16:9 tv. Read more

Yeah, and rapists are just hopeless romantics. Read more

Agreed. Watching her smirk and ditz around in an elf costume and ruin the Dragon Age fiction doesn't sound appealing. Read more

Oh look- a mildly attractive female doing something game related! Nerdgasm! Read more

Baby mommas, a baseball bat, flaming purple Oldsmobiles and someone named Lefrance Defrank, for God's sake- the jokes write themselves. Read more

This is unconfirmed, but I heard that you can catch a glimpse of panties on high kicks. Read more

I second this. If the team behind the SF2 Turbo HD could churn out those beautiful sprites and keep the game size small enough for XBLA, so can others. Read more

Sell it to Gearbox and let them finish it. Read more
