You forget one thing that the Warriors series has that these games don't. The thing that, for me, MADE old school beat 'em ups my favorite genre of the 16 bit era. Multiplayer Co-op. As a standard.

Actually, I think you've missed the point of everything I've said, mokmoof continues to say, and it looks like you didn't even read the original Narcisse article at all. No one's saying anyone at Square or Eidos is trying to make an intentionally racist statement. And no one's saying the...

Yes, we get it, you have a black wife. You should subtly work that into your argument more to add validity. Subtly. Subtlety. Subtle. Be more subtle. Really. But back to the the point, I think someone already made this argument, let me find the quote...oh yes, here it is. So to...

No need to apologize for quoting or making an argument...that's the point of a forum, afterall. But again...the argument isn't whether you're personally offended. I am Not. Narcisse is. But he still loves the game. The point is that, on an almost completely objective level, the character is...

I actually agree to most of what you said there Phantom Echo, which is why at the end of my post I make sure to point out that despite Narcisse decrying the racism he sees in the portrayal, it's ultimately not overly important because he still very enthusiastically recommends the game as a...

I'd just like to clarify something to those dozens upon dozens of you using the defense that essentially boils down to, "Well I know people who actually talk this way so it's not racist." This argument does not in ANY way, shape, or form qualify something as not being a racist stereotype...

Ghost in The Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Runners up include Cowboy Bebop, Seirei no Moribito, Paranoia Agent, and this last one will sound strange, but...Episodes 2-15 of Gungrave. Really. I swear it's some of the best storytelling to come out of Japan. No foolin'. For realsies.

YouTube Castle Shikigami 2 or Chaos Wars. You won't regret it.

I don't hate "good" and "evil" bars as much as most people, so long as individual decisions are impactful, but I usually feel as if there aren't significant "middle ground" choices in a lot of games. Most people aren't saints or monsters...we try to find a happy medium. But in most games, the...

Uhm...excuse me? Does ANY one here...game journalist, forum poster, or otherwise presumably literate person even know what Mercenaries is? It's a time-trial based score run. There's no story progress...at all. The only thing permanent save games takes away in this particular game is your...

The first time I got detention was for "talking in class," when in actuality, it was the people on either side of me. The kicker? I'd lost my voice that day, making the accusation all but impossible.

Not about any one game, no. But it does bother me when he goes on those tiresome tirades about how multiplayer isn't as important as single player.

Actually, according to the new Game Informer, or a number of other sources I'm sure, Mass Effect 3 actually DOES allow you to pick up weapons from the enemies you down. They've also added the ability to customize your weapons. And since they haven't stated otherwise, I'm pretty sure you can...

@Ian_Caronia I'm just gonna dissect every "point" you just made, because you made it easy. 1. You are not the only fan of the game. And ultimately, I'm sure all of the nerd-raging morons without a single valid point will be proven the minority, so I'm going to just let you know now...the...

@Duskflamer You get to be my new favorite for using phrases like "in my mind" before stating an opinion as though it were fact, because while I disagree to an extent, I can certainly see why you might think that, and I respect it. Also...actually reading counterarguments, admitting to faults...
