Aw Jim by all means, have a go at Square-Enix. I love their games...heck, Final Fantasy 7 is the reason why I started liking JRPGs as a whole. But when a company starts doing dumb things you have to sit them down and slap the stupid out of them for their own benefit. I may love FFXIII and...

It didn't used to be like this. In the PS2 era, Limited Edition pre-orders were done very well. I still have the Persona 4 artbook I got from it, long after the disc broke and my PS2 damaged beyond repair. I'm thinking Jim alluded to the reason in this video and before: digital market took over...

Last time I pre-ordered was for Blazblue Chronophantasma Limited Edition. Did it out of respect for the developer (Arc System Works) and very happily shelled out nearly $100 for it even though I personally did not really care for most of the bonuses (only the artbook). Turns out the game's...

Is this crap really happening? TRULY? *Pinches cheeks* Well that freaking hurt, so nope, I am not dreaming. What a sad state steam is turning into. I don't deal with steam personally since I do not do my gaming on my crud laptop but a good friend of mine loves it and I hate to think this...

Oh Jim. I wonder what you'll say after Square-Enix takes this so called epiphany and grinds it to the ground? Given their track record, they're just as likely to go "Hmm, Bravely Default did extremely well it seems. So surely it will be an equal or greater success if we milk it about 10 times...

Wow, I think this was the first time I actually saw Jim very, very angry. Not that I blame him. The idea of a "reduce backlash" panel strikes me as downright, Saturday-morning cartoonishly evil. It sounds like companies (at least certain ones) are trying their best NOT to make their potential...

You know, I still like the original FFXIII. Do I think it is a flawless game? No. But I still enjoyed it for what it was and am glad for it. It was one of the rarest of games where I started out hating every character in it (save Fang and Sazh), but grew to love them by the end. Not to mention...

I think this is a kind of "damned if you do, damned if you don't" Jim. No matter what your opinion, someone out there is going to bash or criticize it. You liked CoD? Oooooh, be prepared for a verbal hoedown for liking a game whose core fanbase is not well liked. You hated or otherwise didn't...

Aw, but Jim "Nothing to do with me" is a pretty damn good way to stay clear of the volatile toxin of our community. In my experience, putting yourself into a situation where harassment of any kind went down is simply asking for yourself to be exposed and, as you said, "thrown to the wolves"...

Really? Resolution Wars on consoles? This is a thing? I guess people need to be at constant war when it comes to consoles. Sheesh, given how people will defend their console of choice, I'm surprised XB1's original policies even bothered with their Draconian Pledge of Allegiance. But...

They probably took their abject rage to another forum site to complain which is why you don't see it here.

Funny thing about "ammo" in any medium: if people want to find things to be offended by, they will go and find it. Very, very easily in fact and no matter how grandiose or minuscule it is. I would also point out that Dragon's Crown is only in this "spotlight" because it is new. I imagine when...

Oh Dragon's Crown, you just never seem to catch a break. First it's a bunch of people crying foul over the overly sexual depiction women and now your fans are foaming at the mouth over some random person from Polygon giving you a 6.5/10. Perhaps it was a good thing that I took Yahtzee's comment...

*Sigh* I feel like I traveled into a Bizarro version of our world. I keep punching myself to see if I am still dreaming, but it turns out I am not. I'd have thought companies that existed to make money understood that if you piss off your customers, you won't get their money. A part of me hopes...

Honestly, none of the newer consoles appeal to me in the same way that the PS2 originally did (I did not even buy a PS3 until nearly 3 years after its release). The WiiU is, as Yahtzee said, unimpressive in the game line up. PS4, knowing SONY's tradition, will likely suck at launch and will take...
