  @Acrid It is. That very same Dyack guy is helming this project. So I'd really steer clear unless anyone wants to just throw away their money. Reply +26

  Fuck this game. Fuck it with a rusty nailed bat. Not buying. Try again next time with either no region lock or a competent publisher. Reply -6

• The Legend of Zelda 3DS preview: Linked to the past

• Tekkirai 18/04/2013

  Perhaps I'm alone in this, but I don't like these graphics at all. They look very bland to me. The SNES version looked way nicer as far as I'm concerned. This looks....really cheap somehow. That plus yeah, it's just another Zelda with yet another new little "thing" used to retell and redo the same thing all over again.
  
  I really do, or rather, did love Zelda a whole damn lot. But what they've been doing since the Wind Waker is just retarded and really made this franchise lose it's lustre. That's not to say things were bad from the Wind Waker onwards, it's just that it stopped evolving and just rusted into place. Reply +25

• Capcom: "excessive outsourcing" has resulted in a "decline in quality"

  I hope this means we get a Japanese developed Devil May Cry again then. I'd actually buy that one. Reply -5

• Report: Microsoft in talks to revive Heroes TV show on Xbox

• Tekkirai 18/04/2013

  It's like I can almost smell their new strategy from a mile away. They're going to fall on their face so incredibly hard that I'm already making a sour face for them. I smell a Wii U revival and absolute PS4 domination this gen.
  
  The silly little suits never learn do they, but keep an eye on those much beloved stocks of yours, they're gonna sink so fast it'll make the Titanic blush. Reply +21

• Platinum Games president rates its sales as a "C or even a D."

• Tekkirai 18/04/2013

  People in the West have been very eager to put everything into tiny little boxes this gen, more so than any time before it. So anything Japanese I feel get's snubbed at a bit too much. There's a lack of openness to experiences that makes it very hard for Japanese game makers to break through here and Platinum's DNA is still Japanese and always will be, so chances for bigger successes are probably small as sad as that is.

• The 3DS has sold 8 million units in the US

• Tekkirai 17/04/2013

  @grassyknoll Living in the Netherlands, I can say that we don't have those sharp price differences you guys have in the UK in terms of digital vs retail, generally speaking at least. I'd also add the convenience factor of not having to take along cartridges, which to me at least, is a plus as well. Reply +4

• Professor Layton, Ni No Kuni developer Level-5 announces work on new PlayStation 4 game

• Tekkirai 10/04/2013

  You would think Ni No Kuni sold really well. Or rather, it was supposed to have sold really well if Namco-Bandai hadn't bungled the launch so incredibly hard. It was barely available anywhere, they couldn't deliver on pre-orders and the Special Editions in Europe are now selling for over double the original price at best. In other words, they could have made a boatload more money had they had sufficient stock of it all.
  
  But Namco-Bandai is just another one of those Japanese companies that just can't get it right. They're not Square Enix level, but they're still pretty damn bad with localising games to the west and when they do have a potential success on their hands, they completely screw it up. Reply +6

• After its Mega Man FPS was canned, Armature Studio finally re-emerges as Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate dev

• Tekkirai 09/04/2013

  Megaman's probably one of my fav franchises out there, but I'm really, really, really happy this isn't gonna be the reboot for it. Why does everything always need to be serious and gritty ffs. Reply +3

• Tekkirai 29/03/2013

  Call me when you can show me this in an actual game. And even then, it's your typical American gritty boringness. This gen already had the contest of how many shades of brown can you use, I hope they try to get a little more life in there. Reply +22

• DICE explains why there's no Battlefield 4 for Wii U

• Tekkirai 27/03/2013

  Perhaps we're at the advent of the first true failed Nintendo console. I don't know, but I don't remember things ever having looked this bleak before. Not with 3DS, not with N64 and not with Gamecube either to be honest. But it's still early, I hope they can turn it around but it's really not looking good. Reply +11

• Tomb Raider has sold 3.4 million copies, failed to hit expectations

• Tekkirai 26/03/2013

  Nobody impressed that these games sold better in Europe than in the US? Usually the benefit the US has is that whatever you do, they do more of it. Sign of the times I suppose. Reply 0

• Square Enix boss leaves as company announces "extraordinary loss"

• Tekkirai 26/03/2013

  @retr0gamer Well, selling quite well actually isn't the case. I mean, I won't contest that Xenoblade isn't a phenomenal game, because it really is incredible and so is Ni No Kuni and the others you mentioned, but sales have not been that impressive (We're talking 1-2 million or less for a lot of em).
  
  As far as FFXIII goes, it was incredibly important for JRPGs in general. Final Fantasy is for that matter. Those were the games that created the impact in the ocean so the rest of the JRPG makers could ride the waves so to speak. It means that the spotlight just vanished on the genre, so I think it's been destructive on multiple levels. (Think of it Like CoD in a way and how that makes it possible for games like it to get really high sales numbers by riding its tail)
  
  Not to mention that the FFXIII games just buried the entire Final Fantasy name in just one generation. The game itself, sales wise, may not have impacted them point blank but it sure as hell did in the long run. And if FFXIII put it in the casket then FFXIV put the nails in the coffin.
  
  It's just a string of awkward, bad decisions that started with that game and made them end up where they are now. And the saddest part is that it really didn't have to be this way. Reply +2
