Nice. I have the games already, but for $2.34, it's still probably worth it for the movie, the audio dramas, and ezines.

Not gonna lie, I'm more interesting in Valve's business approach with L4D3 than I am the game.  Team Fortress 2 was converted into free to play and DOTA2 was build on an established model.  L4D3 could the new frontier for valve free to play and marketplace.  You thought hats were cool? wait until you can buy a b- blood type for your character.  Pay 2 transfuse :omg

Atelier Rorona remake incoming!



of the arland games rorona had the best cast of character but it clearly was the "worst" game so i'm quite happy to see them go back and fix what's wrong... it's for ps3 and also coming to vita so you can get the whole arland collection in a single portable swoop :uguu

Kohler's follow up to his Final Fantasy is Dead article

The Bad Death of Final Fantasy: Reasons Why It’s Over

Quote
Somewhere inside me was still some small feeling that Final Fantasy was just in a prolonged slump, that the decline in quality and sales of the last few games was due to Square Enix struggling greatly with the perils of next-generation game development, that somewhere deep down it knew what worked about the Final Fantasy series in the first place and it was just looking to get a handhold and start climbing again.

But the longer this goes on, the clearer it becomes that these games we’re playing now are not temporary setbacks in the plan, they are the plan. We’re not playing stopgap games that are keeping us from the “real” Final Fantasy; these games are the real Final Fantasy now.

In relaunching the Gaming Intelligence Agency a few weeks ago, Andrew Vestal — with whom I first became acquainted when he maintained The Unofficial Squaresoft Home Page, for which I penned this editorial in 1997 — wrote about Final Fantasy V. He did find, playing the 1995 game again, that his feelings about the game now had changed. Only they were for the better rather than the worse: What seemed to him to be a lackluster Final Fantasy then turned out to have a wealth of undiscovered gameplay genius buried underneath it now. I sincerely doubt the same will be said of Final Fantasy XIII, a linear series of narrow corridors filled with battles that can only be played one way and that pose little to no difficulty for the player for the first, oh, 25-30 hours of the game.

kohler whining is all howard fault :wag

I don't know if any of you are following the epic saga of the (post-release) development of Realms of Arkania: Blade of Destiny, but let's just say that ongoing development continues to be ongoing...

Patch 1.07a
Dear all,

our game engine is sometimes a bit unstable and ate the last patch alive by producing a horrible mess. We are currently building a new one, which will be ready for you in approximately 45 minutes.

Until then, battles won't work and sometimes you can't even load a savegame.

We are sorry for the inconvenience!

An RPG where battles don't work isn't 1.anything, guys. :lol To be fair, this was two patches ago (yesterday). I believe it's gotten a new patch every single day since it came out last week. 9 Patches, 9 Days, 9 Persons (who probably haven't seen their family in weeks). At this point they should just open source the code and hope some fan modders have pity on them.

She has an amazing ability to make awkward nerds seem less awkward.

You can always slum it in the PSMobile section. I love Haunt the House (short and over priced but very fun) and Life of Pixel (simple platformer). I've heard good things about Rymdkapsel (strategy game with abstract art) but haven't tried it yet.

Cytus Lambda is a kicking my ass. I'm so bad at rhythm games :(

I'm still early, but so far the battle system isn't really working me over. I was like this with Graces at first, maybe I will get more familiar. This whole "linking" business seems like I have to play favorites.

I don't know. I mean the battle system is fine, the base battle system that is. But really most Tales are solid to play. It's the additions that just kind of feel "meh" to me. Linking is ok, but I don't know hasn't meant much to me beyond having Jude I guess help up Milla. It just a Tales game. But....

The levels so far are bland looking as hell and the game so far is rather linear. Final Fantasy XIII may also be a linear corridor like Xilla but, at least XIII's places look cool. They have unique and cool artistry in them. So far the world in Xilla is uninspired blandness. Nothing has looked memorable are beyond whats been in any other Tales game. And somehow the game looks worse than Vesperia.

Looking even more at the presentation, it's obvious the Tales studio needs to hire someone who knows how to direct cutscenes as well, because jesus are they dry here and boring. Long pauses, little action, and just ametur directing. They are awful. Doesn't help that characters like Milla sound awful in English. The English dub in general does nothing for me and for the most part is merely standard.

The story is also usual Tale's bullshit, complete with nature stuff and the usual made up science thingy. Which is fitting because quite honestly all these Tales games are starting to blend together. They all look the same, take place in the same bland animu fantasy world, and have the same lame nature whatever story. It's just getting boring. Tales is possibly the most static jrpg series. The play fine, but hell most of them are just starting to feel the same even in gamplay.

Tales needs a shake-up.

Or maybe it dosen't. I'm not really a fan of the series, I play them because they come out on systems I own and I like jrpgs. That's it honestly. I would like the series to produce one that shakes up and goes radically different with the story and look. But that's just me.
