There is something to be said when the PS3 and 360 high five each other.

I disagree. Splinter Cell does a lot more for stealth than some people give it credit for. It takes into account not just line of sight but "sound" and "lighting" as well. Obviously cover plays a factor in it. And by "flaws", you mean by your bias and preferences which, by the way, you are...

I'm going to dissent and say I actually liked Final Fantasy 7, 8, and 10. I don't claim they are the greatest thing since sliced bread but I do enjoy them. Emo or no Emo. I am, of course, against the remaking of Final Fantasy 7 because I see that as a terrible idea. No one fan group will ever be...

High five.

One thing I have to absolutely agree with is "it gets better twenty hours in" is not a valid point. It's a flimsy excuse designed to, more than anything, to reassure and justify a purchase that a person was uncertain about. It's like. . . beer. I know some people like beer but I don't. I hate...

Well said, Nick. It's hard to go anywhere, these days, without running into pretentious and pompous elitist players from one game or another who pretend to know the difference between strategy and tactics, who pretend to understand the meaning of the word "skill". Now, I say this because...

Why is this one an exception? Why is this not a JRPG? Whenever people argue that it's not, it always comes down to semantics and opinion/bias rather than any concrete fact. What's the harm or terrible shame in calling it a Japanese RPG because, let's be honest, that's what it is. It's...

Thank god that drama train came to a stop. Pseudo-intellectuals going at each other's throats is just as bad as any "troll". More to the topic. It still amuses and, at the same time, disappoints me to see everyone up in arms about Sarah Palin. Overdone? Late? He did one or two sight gags and...

Seriously. You people care that much about Palin? She's a waste of space that utters the ridiculous with frequency. More importantly, she has no relevance to the common gamer. Why do you people suddenly care about her feelings? What makes her more deserving of mercy? Did she just have a...

Before I get to my commentary on the review, which I thought was very amusing, I have something else to say. You see, I like to analyze things. For instance, I like to examine different types of people. For instance, I feel that it's very easy to tell the difference between a person who well and...

Dear lord. I facepalm at thee. No. "JRPG" is a term to collectively categorize the games of this genre that originate from that region and share common elements such as those "anime tropes" you mentioned. Just because it has "tactical" elements doesn't automatically exclude it from being a...

Clearly it's not the JRPG that is the problem, then. I'm assuming you just don't like micromanagement.

Well, it's there loss. Some people are more easily swayed than others and, honestly, I can't say I care one way or the other. I've told people time and time again that reviews are only a guideline and that no one review is above another. That it isn't some competition about scores and that at...

AGAIN! AGGG. I want to choke these people. Do you not understand what a tactical RPG is? Have you not played Disgaea or Final Fantasy Tactics? Luminous Arc? None of these names ringing a bell? How about Operation Darkness, that was pretty recent. No? I'm about to start shooting people in a...
