It's doubly obvious as he keeps putting out examples of games that only went for that niche market and ended up doing very well, ie. Dark Souls, Dead Space, X-COM, etc.

Wow... Just wow. It might be a bit of a early call to say this, but I think this might be the angriest that I've seen Jim in a very long time. And I have to say, he's right to be. I'm not the biggest fan of the Souls franchise myself, but I do wholeheartedly agree that have been in too much...

Well, damn. That closing statement was REALLY impressive.

Honestly, the reason I'm not planning on buying the WiiU isn't because I'm not liking the tablet concept, I actually think it's a brilliant idea, and it'll be interesting to see developers implement it. However, there weren't really any games that came out for the Wii that I really enjoyed...

While I think I would have wanted to see a Marvel adaptation of the Spider-man in movie form rather than another Sony one, I'm going to have to say that I REALLY liked the movie when I saw it. Almost as much as I liked Spider-man 2, which is one of my favorite films. I thought that Garfield...

This is the problem ALL novel to movie adaptations though, and why some really great novels make fairly mediocre movies. You're trying to force a full novel's depth and information into only 2-1/2 hours, so a lot of non-essential development and explanatory material is going to be cut in order...

Just saw the movie last night. Have to say, I would have been way happier with the movie if it wasn't for it's fairly shoddy camera work. I remember the complaints about Cloverfield's shaky-cam give a bunch of people motion sickness, and I didn't have a problem; on the other hand, the first 10...

I think that it should be taken in that direction, but I don't know how they're going to work the standard HUD into the series without the animus. I know it sounds nitpicky, but that was always explained in the previous games as being that way, since you had the HUD while controlling ancestors...

I'm not a fan of online multiplayer. This actually was a somewhat more recent development, as a actually did a fair amount of matchmaking in Halo:Reach until a few months ago. That changed after an incident with a friend of mine. One day, while hanging out with my aforementioned friend, he...

First of all, I'm just going to say that pretty much ALL franchises are just "milking the cow" as soon as they announce any sequel; it just depends on how well they keep the franchise afloat and realizing when they need to move on to other things. It's one of the reasons that I like Naughty...

I loved the first two, and I really want to find out how the story ends (even if the game does end up sucking).

Necron, from Final Fantasy IX. It's not that he was to easy or simplistic; it's just he came out of nowhere and was gone before any significant impact was had. It's one of my major "What the Fuck?" moments in gaming. They should have just left it with finishing Kuja and being done with it...

Lately I've been playing Final Fantasy XIII-2 and, while I've been enjoying it overall, Mog's voice and character just really annoys me, no matter how useful he/she/it might be. However, I find this to be counterbalanced by the fact that it is an actual part of the game where I can grab the...

I never really tried out the original Fable. I played II and enjoyed it somewhat, with all the stylish combat and an actually engaging story of revenge. Fable III on the other hand had some fairly neat design ideas but was hampered by a fairly awful narrative. Also, I couldn't really bring...

Cool, I'm not the only person who thought that! I actually like the anthro races of TES games, and I usually play an argonian. I have fond memories of my Oblivion Argonian character: a Mage who was gifted in destruction magic and had a high speed stat. I ended up being so fast that I could...
