I just started Borderlands and I'm starting to like that a lot more, it certainly has a lot of charm despite lack of any plot...I suppose I'd rather have no plot at all than Bethesda's and BioWare's "limited madlibs" storylines I guess

I really cant recommend Sengoku Basara enough. The dub is more than bearable and it really has re-invigorated my near dead interest in DW style games.
As an aside; did this article seem to have an above average number of spelling mistakes to anyone else? |

Oh ho ho ho. Jolly good sir! Jolly good! I find it funny that the people most inclined to feel the need to make disclaimer statements like this are the ones most likely turned on by such characters. It is like how politicians make legislation against homosexuals when they are involved in a homosexual relationship themselves. It's a way to point at other people and not cast suspicion on yourself, but often when these statements come out of nowhere, like this one, it makes you look even more suspicious. In other words, keep the commentary to the game and not your peers. |

I've had about like 5-7 different people agree that it PROBABLY could just be considered a glorified expac and they still would have bought the game. Just give me more to do, more weapons, new quests, etc etc and I'm a happy camper. Although, I'm not gonna defend the god awful plethora of bugs, I'm 'really' getting fed up with every god damn person running away from me the moment I enter a town. Be it NCR, Legion or neutral, ALMOST EVERY TOWN I ENTER results in people running away from me, and with my karma either neutral or good this makes no sense to me... Oh and the system locking crashes, those really suck too. Only hit one so far but still annoying to say the least. @Tatsu: At least you're being honest, there are people who often deny there's any redeeming value to the game at all and call it crap without backing it up. I'd rather see someone give both the pros and cons to the game and say they don't like it than just list all the cons and badmouth the game as much as they can. Okay, I'm done here and off to play some more... Oh and darkness, THIS IS THE ONLY GAME THAT MATTERS... ...'THIS' week. Come next week, people here will be allowed to discuss other games but I declared a thread hijack to discuss New Vegas AND IT SHALL HOLD STRONG. As for the mention of the game itself, I believe Todd mentioned it like, 2 weeks ago IIRC, I'm almost positive I remember seeing it mentioned at some point. Or I could be crazy, w/e, I'm fine with either solution. |

Nice interview. Too bad the game is completely mediocre. Don't know why Japanese developers think the 6000th Dynasty Warriors (which is a series that needs to die itself) ripoff is a good idea.

He's reviewing a game whose story centers on this character's underwear. That's not exactly "out of nowhere". |

Bad News for all humans everywhere: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2010-10-20-layton-vs-phoenix-wright-only-for-japan
One can only hope they'll change their minds. I had though the Wright and Layton games were fairly popular in the States. And I'd like to reiterate my position that Etna cannot possibly wear panties. |

OMG, another 'Mama' game? That's what you have to call them now. Mainly because there are more Cooking games than anything else. Yet the Gardening game and now the Sewing game are like in a whole different category. Guess what I'll be buying my niece for Xmas. Since she's either tired of them but still plays them. Babysitting? Talk about defining sex roles. Hahaha!!! Who would have thought this strip would speak volumes 2 years earlier.
http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=252 PL and and PW together? Talk about cross over coming to a whole new level. Now the brain games will cause your head to explode. Cabaret Girls for 3DS? You can only know where this is going. Just wait jiggle vision will become a reality if it hasn't already. I'm interested in the Fantasy Life game. Seems that Level-5 is really getting some notice. |

Well, let's just say The Pokemon Company isn't too happy with a couple websites spoiling Black and White info, knowing they are using Japanese roms... So, something along that line perhaps? Plus sometimes I know companies just hate imports, since on occasion the local sales will be really bad. I remember for Demon's Souls, MANY people imported it from Asia (well, in this case it IS a PS3 game) and then when it did come out in North America, they were worried that Europe imported too much from Asia AND North America, which is why I heard both sets came with the artbooks/soundtrack incentive: to pick it up locally. |

DJ Max Portable 3 is out. I just denied yours being true, because no other game matters right now. |

Layton x Wright sounds pretty atrocious. I really wish Level 5 were working on something else right now to be honest.
Just finished Ultimate Ninja Storm 2 on PS3 last night and it was superb. Long load times and an online community infested with spamtastically cheap players don't change the fact it's a deeply impressive game for an anime tie in. The final boss fight alone is such a visual feast it makes up for the drastically downgraded technically exploration sequences. Great game. Looking forward to New Vegas and ZHP a lot. |

I was one of those fans who imported Basara 2 way back when, so it wasn't a surprise to any of my friends that I bought Basara 3 the first day it came out. The dub is really excellent (especially for those of you used to the SW and DW dubs...) with the exception of Kenshin Uesugi (IMO) since they decided to give him Freeza voice for some unknown reason.
My only complaint is that they made the game a bit too serious in comparison to the previous games. I miss Keiji's festival stage, magical housewife Matsu and Yukimura and Masamune fighting each other while standing on their horses.... I also worry that anyone picking up the wonderfully ridiculous anime might be slightly disappointed at the lack of crazy in the game. But for the record, it's not like it's not there, it's just toned down a lot. I really hope this game sells despite the lackluster reviews...I want more Basara in America![/i] |

I raise my glass to you. Such news suggests it is worth paying attention to the world of video games once again, albeit not in the most mindful of manners. |

Sengoku Basara: Samurai Heroes isn't a DW/SW rip off... even if it feels like it at first. Once your character has gained some levels and unlocked different techniques, the differences begin to show. It's definitely inspired by the Warriors franchise, without a doubt, but it's approach isn't a straight up KOEI clone. I'd explain, but it won't matter because most people that hate this genre blindly wouldn't change their mind, no matter how many characters I typed.
If you like the Warriors franchise, I'd recommend at least checking out Basara. It's years improved over Devil Kings and each stage has a unique gimmick. It's somewhat refreshing after investing 20-30 some hours into Samurai Warriors 3. For the record, Masamune is *alright* but Ieyasu is where it's at. Block + Charge and then mashing Attack for insane combo counts never gets old. Especially when you add in Hero Time and his special attack. |

Really? I have the hardest time controlling him (accuracy wise...). I much prefer Mitsunari's cheese-tastic weapon and move set. It's very reminiscent of Hanbei from SB2 which I loved dearly. Ahhh, I miss you Fey-Zorro...damn consumption! And it's a pretty tough sell, isn't it? Most reviewers give it low scored cause they think it's just more of the same ol' stuff they've been seeing for years with the Samurai/Dynasty Warriors franchise. I've also read from some irate fans blogsites (when I was on a lookout for while the storyline got more serious) that the reviewers handling the game hate the genre in the first place. Talk about a biased opinion. :/ |
