    Would I like Persona?

    Given the games you listed that you like, and those that you don't... I'd say that it's 50/50 on whether you will like it or not. The story and characters in Persona 4 are a bit of a mixed-bag to me. All of the characters are very well-developed and play off of each other well, and you really do...

    Body Quirks

    I can do that, too--it always surprises people whenever I tell them "You forgot to turn off the TV/Radio/etc." Just because the screen is black or there's no sound doesn't mean it's turned off, heh. What's kinda nifty about this is that I have tinnitus as well, so I've gotten really good at...

    Editorial: Omitting Women From Games Because "It's Too Hard" is Unacceptable

    Nah, you're pretty much spot on. The more something is scrutinized, the more likely people are to complain about it. And right now we have a lot of scrutiny directed towards game developers and publishers about the inclusion/depiction of women in games. So it makes sense that everyone's going to...

    Characters love for whom you don't understand

    To be fair, the first one is pretty comparative to the OT, though I'll agree with the second not being the same. Back on topic, though, I don't get the love for the P4 main cast. I had always heard that they were well-developed characters, and while a lot of in-game time is spent developing...

    Dark Souls Director Named President of From Software

    I said it earlier, but I'm incredibly happy for Miyazaki, as well as FromSoftware as a whole. A guy who actually understands games and game development in charge of a company is wonderful, especially a developer as talented as him. My only worry is that he might not be directing anymore games...

    Hidetaka Miyazaki is the new president of FromSoftware

    http://www.ign.com/articles/2014/05/21/dark-souls-director-hidetaka-miyazaki-made-from-software-president With Kadokawa's acquisition of FromSoftware, they have now appointed Miyazaki (the director of Demons' Souls and Dark Souls) as the new president, effective immediately. I'm not gonna lie...

    Characters Who Never Talk, Then Suddenly Do

    I was gonna mention these games, too. Also, remember at the end of Golden Sun: The Lost Age, during the ending scene, Felix does talk again. I think the reason why Isaac and Felix don't talk in their respective games is the usual "you're in control of the characters, so you imagine what they...

    I Actually Liked Child of Light

    As far as I was aware, it had received largely positive reviews, and I myself quite like it. I agree that the rhyming was a bit of a mistake, but I wouldn't go so far as to say it ruined the game. Heck, I actually quite liked the way it was presented like a child's storybook in both art and...

    Most disappointing game you ever bought this year

    I hate to say it, but Dark Souls II as well. It's by no means a bad game--a solid 8/10 from me. But as a fan of the series there are just so many things that I don't think work that well. The game honestly comes off as what it is: two different directors working with a much larger--and largely...

    Whoops Souls (Dark Souls 2)

    I did the exact same thing to someone, and I sent him an apology right after. I felt horrible, especially since the other two shots from the ballista killed the boss. Funnily enough, a few sessions later I was on the receiving end of two giant spears to the face, although I'm pretty sure the...

    Child of Light - A recommendation of sorts.

    I bought this Sunday evening after completing the demo and, after playing it for most of yesterday, I completed it today. This has probably been one of the most beautiful, purely enjoyable titles I've played in a long time. Everything about it exudes an air of polish that I just don't see that...

    The Pull of Dark Souls II

    So. Freaking. True. And hilarious, haha! While I like that the enemies can actually follow you rather than stand around while you backstab them, I think they went a bit overboard with it. Oh, don't worry, he's all Hollowed out and not an NPC. Plus, they drop some unique swords that come with...

    Miracle of Sound: Dream of Goodbye (BioShock Infinite: Burial at Sea Song)

    This may be my new favorite song of yours, haha! There's just something about this one that I really like, but I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's just how seamlessly and effortlessly every section flows together? Regardless, I think this is your best one yet.

    Miracle of Sound: Fires Far (Dark Souls II Song)

    Another damn fine song, Gav! Hearing "Sisters of solace singing" made me think of the Milfanito you meet towards the end, singing the first Dark Souls' ending credits theme. Heck, "The mourning bells are ringing" made me think of, well, I won't spoil it for anyone who hasn't gotten to that part...

    Protagonists you just can't stand.

    Connor from Assassin's Creed III, hands down. I mean, there are certainly other protagonists I dislike, but damn does this guy get on my nerves. He's got no personality outside of "REVEEEEEENGE!" and "Annnnngst!" Yes, it's justified because you got screwed over, but how about cracking a joke...
