Band: Naginatajutsu Album: Doing the right things It's my japanese epic post-emo-noise-core band. (a complete copy of ENVY that is)

Thanks for the clarification. And you made a good point in your next comment too. I guess I should have known about how prerelease reviews work. But this whole thing could actually turn into a positive thing: maybe this bad publicity for Konami will make them and other companies more careful...

I sort of get your point. But why doesn't this apply to any other media? Record reviews, movie reviews, book reviews etc. I really can't picture a music critic letting a record company (much less an artist) dictate what he can and can't write. Not in the independent media anyway. Why are...

There is no doubt that story will help sell a game, but how good a game is, is not determined by how many copies it sells, is it? I loved Bioshock but the reason wasn´t the story in itself. It was the way it was incorporated into the gameplay. It was never intrusive, but always there. No...
