I can claim to be a 30 something gamer. But I'd be lying.

Oh really? How many times have you held one? Ergonomics is about minimizing discomfort. The people who have used the controller said it was comfortable.

There are certain spoilers that become generally acceptable to mention over time. FFVII I would include. Other notables are the Sixth Sense and Star Wars: Empire Strikes Back. But some that are borderline I could see as making people upset, like the Usual Suspects or Fight Club. But most things sti...

I think he wants you to keep your story out of threads that aren't about your story. That's all. I have some pretty unorthodox views of Ghaleon, the faeries, the Star Dragon, and a few other parts of the story. But I've only discussed them in private with G1 instead of presenting them here. If at so...

They've got a couple years and perhaps a new system or two to figure it out on. I'm just not sure it's the sort of issue that can be resolved with incremental hardware improvements. All a game is doing is putting 2D images on a screen at a high enough speed to look like animation. It's not like som...

Rune, I think that analogy works as well as any, but PDO had a number of things working against it. It was an early game on a system destined to be hated by Japanese gamers and the US gamers that like it are only interested in games put out by Microsoft, EA, and Ubisoft. So PDO, along with Phantom C...

It's an RPG. You only need a confirm button, cancel button, and some kind of directional.

He took a full point off of Majora's Mask's score for not having Ocarina's fishing game. I dislike that practice to begin with. If you can quantify a certain part of a game as being the equivalent of a single point or set number of points, that means you should be able to denote what the rest of th...

It's already been ran over with a car and continued to function (Albeit with a mangled barely functioning LCD screen), so I doubt anybody, no matter how big their ass is, could break it by sitting on it.

Ah, I don't read RPG Critic's reviews because I tend to disagree with just about everything he says. That's quite a lame statement to include in a review; it's painfully obvious that the larger Lunar crowd would be on PlayStation than Sega CD, so it was extra inappropriate to include what shouldn't ...

Maybe the "quest" is your problem. There are no answers to be found. There's what's in the games and there's speculation (or adding some stuff from the manga/novels/cds). Your quest may be somewhat of a Don Quixote adventure.

It's not property laws the devalue houses. That's just the way things work. Property laws exist to protect people. There are a LOT of stupid ones out there, but there are good reasons why most property laws exist. For instance, and this is actually somewhat common, let's say when something in my hou...

Now buying music and being restricted on how to use it is like not being allowed to do stuff to your property? You know, I'm not even going to bother any more. You can continue to live in PhycoLand.

Buying music is nothing like buying a car. I'm not even going to bother continuing with that analogy because it's quite simply ludicrous.

It should be noted that no matter Nintendo revealed, it would have been critisized. If they revealed that everybody who gets a Revolution gets $1000, people would still be trashing it. That's just the nature of the industry.

I dunno. I think your approach is still too scientific. ;) Japanese storytelling, of which games are certainly a part, likes to leave things unexplained. They don't worry about the "how" nearly as much as the "what." And they don't often tell you more than what you need to know a...
