I can't think of too many titles that genre shifted to sandbox style gameplay. If anything, we're moving away from open-world exploration into more event driven / cinematic focused gaming and not the other way around. And open-world != sandbox. And, honestly, I don't really find EO to really be all ...

Dear god almighty when I quote someone can there be no nested quotes. It's annoying to quote and have to go back and delete their quotes.

Image linking would be cool, I suppose, but the above dear lord.

I feel games now are better than they were before; I'm not one for rose-tinted glasses nostalgia. I recognize that some of the games I played when I was younger are still good now and hold up, but that doesn't change the fact I'm having just as much, if not more, fun now than I was before.

Posting this here too. Operation Rainfall / Xenoblade localization made it to Wired : Edit: For size Nintendo’s Game-Killing Policies Alienate Biggest Fans [spoiler] The most charitable thing that we could say right now about the lineup of games for Nintendo’s Wii console is that it is not quite a b...

Since I posted the Operation Rainfall / Xenoblade localization thing here... here's an article on it that made Wired : Nintendo’s Game-Killing Policies Alienate Biggest Fans The most charitable thing that we could say right now about the lineup of games for Nintendo’s Wii console is that it is not q...

98% certain it's to curb second-hand sales. As much fun as it would be to paint them as incompetent buffoons, nobody is stupid enough to make a game that can literally only be played once ever. Also, the whole "MICROSOFTZ IS EVILLLL Y NO PS3 VESPERIA?" stupidity riled up by Charlotte Toci ...

For the record, Amazon doesn't charge until it ships... And Xenoblade/Monado isn't confirmed for the US as the whole point of this "movement" was to bring up awareness / "put our money where our mouth is" and show the interest in the game. Similar things done for Pandora and The ...

To be fair, if it does release, it'll probably be at $49.99.

In honor of the Xenoblade movement:

Quests giving EXP should be standardized so hard that it retroactively fixes all the shitty quests that EO1/EO2 had.
