Agreed. I don't think XIII was an especially good game but the sheer unprecedented level of butt hurt you see from people is just comical.

|Final Fantasy tends to be considered a sacred cow in gaming circles, but 13 was the first one in the main series to be genuinely be scored as a bad game. So that amplified the hate considerably.

Not sure what you mean, most Final Fantasy XIII reviews still gave it an overall positive score, and Final Fantasy VIII before it was probably just as divisive, or nearly so.

So I guess no one else is going to be "that guy" and point out that "Phantasia" is spelled wrong in the entire article? Auto correct strikes again I guess.
Tokitowa is easily my most anticipated RPG for this year right now (not counting the new .hack game). I'll take a well made hand drawn 2D RPG over just about anything and this one is looking like a game changer. Can't wait to see more, just hope this doesn't get stuck in Japan like so many RPGs.
Looking forward to Soul Calibur V next week! It's funny, but it's the character creator that I'm the most excited for. I'm a sucker for those things in the WWE games and this one might actually exceed those with the way you move and manipulate parts. I'm going to spend hours playing with that, probably before I actually do any fighting.

The only real black-sheep of the Final Fantasy (main numbered) series are the MMOs 11 and 14. I can accept an argument that 11 'ruined' the legacy, because it probably annoyed people who collected all of the games and wanted all the titles on their shelf, but they didn't play MMOs or want to pay a monthly fee, and argued it should have been called "Final Fantasy Online" or whatever, more than I can accept 12 or 13 'ruined' the series.
FF13 still got good reviews, and an overall positive scores. Sales-wise, it was average and sits in the middle of the giants like X and VII, and the bombs that were IX and XII (ironically, the bottom two are my favorite ones of the CD-based era) Though admittedly, a 'bomb' for Final Fantasy still sells more copies than most other franchises can claim.

I thought GameInformer gave it a 9.1 or something? Is that a bad score out of ten?
In my opinion it was a fairly good game, I just hate the battle system. I played like 18 hours right up until they stop holding your hand, take a break from the game for two weeks, and suddenly I can't even get past any of the monsters because I've forgotten how the battle system works. I still have it, and plan to beat it, I just wish they had simplified the combat rather than make you frantically change... what was it paradigms then gameover 'cause the party leader ko'd.

On Final Fantasy XIII.
It was my introduction to the franchise.
I put in 20 or so hours wondering when it was finally going to open up and get me out of the tunnel I was stuck in. I looked at walkthrough and saw I had 5 more chapters to go to get to that point!
I was not excited enough to continue, and readjusted the priority eventually picking it back up after a 10 month layoff and completing the game.
Once finished, considering everything, I thought it was ok, not great, and certainly not worth the full $59 I paid for it (I think around $30 would have been a better deal). Overall, I was pretty bored most of the time.
I would be hard pressed to blind buy anything else in the series.

Okay, so I guess that I myself really don't have anything much new to say about Katawa Shoujo-- other than than that I completed the Emi route that I didn't mean to enter into some days ago, and I was so won over by the writing and character that I decided to pursue all the other routes, starting with what I heard was the "weakest" (that of the deaf/mute girl, Shizune's). Still, I can't help but feel that my post in last week's thread for The X Button piqued your curiosity enough to write some about the game :
And hey-- if you're up for getting anymore opinions regarding Katawa Shoujo, fellow ANN user veers posted a great SPOILER-FREE blog post about the game. It seems like he held pre-conceptions about KS that aren't too-dissimilar from those you might have had while writing the article, Todd-- the only experience he seemed to expect to ever have with visual novels before KS, it seems, was Fate/Stay-Night-- so he's definitely not writing from the perspective of a VN fan or big moe fan here:

Also, a decent chunk of the sex scenes are, well I'll be honest, just uncomfortably awkward.

Speaking of out of site reviews, there are a significant amount of ones from the Escapist. Here are a few.
There are way more reviews all across the internet, but this one is my favorite.

I own a few 100 games. 80 percent of those are rpgs. I have played and beat ff 1-7,x,x-2, not to mention most of the other major titles ranging from BOF, to Suikoden to Mana to Persona, etc.
FF 13 is garbage. I am not some fps player, who plays COD or BF. I play mainly rpgs, with the occasional horror title thrown in. FF 13 is garbage. Its one redeeming feature is that at least it looks good graphically. But even then, for being the first FF on a next gen, the improvement doesnt hold a candle to the jump from 6 to 7 or 9 to 10.
If anything, Im getting tired of the people defending this abomination, while much superior games get trashed with no backers.
If you want to play an rpg on the xbox, go with Lost Odyssey or Tales of Vesperia, hell even Blue Dragon was a much better title.
Regarding Neverdead, I believe the game looked better the first time it came out, it was called Knight's Contract.
And I hope the fully anime styled character game comes out here.

Wow that was an awesome review. Classy as F**** sweet. I just got past the first so called 'H' scene in Emi's route, ... What can i say this story arch could have been a freaking teen drama/romance movie its so tame.

BTW, I love how Fps fans are considered the scum of the Earth. Maybe there's more fun to be had in a game like Call Of Duty than some inanely pretenoius piece of prattle that ended up being FF 13's plot.
Obviously FF 13-2 is not for me. It's also probably the jumping off point for a lot of RPG fans. When the JRPG is a game and not a glorified OVA, then I'll come back.

|Katawa Shoujo sounds like it could be just the sort of warped black comedy I'd enjoy. Sadly I have a feeling it's a lot more earnest than that.

New York is expected to "retaliate violently" if New Jersey voters approve plans to allow two casinos across the river from Manhattan. New Jersey voters will decide in November whether to authorize casinos in the northern part of the state.
State officials say Nevada gambling revenue was down more than 2 percent in April compared with last year. The Nevada Gaming Control Board said Thursday that the state's casinos won $876 million in April.
Gov. Chris Christie said a deal to rescue Atlantic City that advanced in the Legislature this week contains the authority he would need to help the struggling resort town, but he stopped short of saying he would sign it.
As many as 11 states may adopt regulations permitting and regulating daily fantasy sports by the end of the year. Six states have passed bills to regulate daily fantasy sports so far, and five more may do so soon.
Gamblers lost more money at Mississippi casinos along both the Gulf Coast and Mississippi River in April. Figures released by the state Revenue Department show casinos won $181 million in April, up 2 percent from $177 million in April 2015.

That's the thing about being in Southern California, everything takes an hour and a half to get to, but then you can get to everything in an hour and a half. Trains you to enjoy podcasts, audiobooks, and fuel efficient cars.
Then you get home and realize you still didn't get everything you meant to get. -_- This is why you update your shopping lists morning of, people. And by people I mean myself.

LJWorld.com weblogs Election headline roundup
Obama enthusiasm wanes; Brownback bus from out of state; Reform Party candidate problems persist
Two years ago today, Democrats were flying high in Denver with the nomination of Barack Obama for president. The Kansas City Star analyzes what happened to that enthusiasm. Here's the link http://www.kansascity.com/2010/08/24/2173082/enthusiasm-gap-confronts-democrats.html
Republican gubernatorial candidate Sam Brownback got the bus that he used on his "Road Map for Kansas" campaign swing from Alabama and the graphic wrap job on the bus was done in Atlanta. Here's the link http://www.hutchnews.com/Todaystop/brownback-wrap--2
Troubles continue for Ken Cannon, the Reform Party candidate for governor. His campaign manager stepped down and Cannon faces criminal charges.http://cjonline.com/news/state/2010-08-25/reform_party_aide_steps_down

Fishing for things to hit Brownback on, Scott?
Fred Whitehead Jr. 5 years, 9 months ago
And just exactly what have the Republicans contributed? Moose Lady Palin has succeeded in fracturing the Republican Terrorist Party pretty well. This bodes very well for the Democratic Party. Most people seem to forget that when the shrub left office, there was a massive deficit already in place where President Clinton had left him a budget surplus. There are two Viet Nam style wars going on that were not there when President Clinton left office. President Obama gets dissed by the Republican Terrorist Party mouthpieces, Limbot and Beck. Both of these pseudo conservatives doing ther best to see who can sell the most t-shirts, coffee mugs, ball hats and newsrags. Is this what the Republican Terrorists have for us? What is their agenda? I do not hear anything but attacks on the efforts of the current lawfully elected President of the United States. What should happen? I do not hear this. Actually, I think it will be pretty interesting to see what will happen if the Republican Terrorist Party does manage to gain some measure of political control in the U.S. Congress, then we will see just what these people will do. And that will tell the tale. They have nothing. They present nothing but derision and disgust. They have no ideas. Let's get them elected so we can truly view just what this "conservatisim" will do for the country. By then the Chinese will have completely purchased up the country and our military will be uniformed in bright red uniforms, easier for the Chinese invaders to see. Keep it up, Republicans, and we will have no country at all, hope you can all learn to speak Mandarin Chinese.

Well, well, well. Brownback to the rescue. What a bunch of losers Kansans will be when this fool takes over as governor. As a Republican he was part of the disaster years that put the USA on a fast track to failure. Such fools that think that fancy words can make everything right again. Kiss it better mummy!
Look at history and weep!

Another mass shooting in the US

I just don't understand what it will take for restrictions on gun ownership in the US.
Interesting points in this article.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 06:13 AM
Terrifying - we're in California, nowhere near the shooting, but it makes me appreciate our gun control laws and attitude in Australia. I've already talked to friends here about this and they just do NOT get the fact that such ridiculously easy access to guns allows any crazy person to get their hands on an assault rifles and thousands of rounds of ammunition allows and just up and decide to go on a shooting spree.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 06:17 AM
All I can think of is the children. How terrified they must have been. You think you are safe in school. It's hortific and heartbreaking.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 06:19 AM
Poor kids, poor families.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 06:21 AM
This is just heartbreaking. Those poor children. That poor community.
It's time the US took guns out of homes. It's enough. Surely this time it's enough.

My thoughts are with all those affected.

So sick of the unhinged evil in the world.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 06:43 AM
22 children were hurt by a knife wielding man in China today. Every society has people in pain or in need. But the numbers of dead and injured speak for themselves today: with a knife - 22 hurt; with a gun 29 dead. If Obama does nothing else with his presidency in his last term, I would like to see him take on the NRA and at least try to make sure that this kinds of events are fewer, less frequent, and far less deadly.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 06:43 AM
Mass knife attack outside a primary school in china too. No one killed thankfully. It's all just so horrible.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 06:44 AM
I was just talking to my DH (who is American) about this...he just doesn't get how strict gun control is necessary either. He kept saying it would be too hard and take a long time to sort out, and I kept saying no matter how long it takes, it would be worth it *shakes head*. He also tried the line "if they really want a gun, they'll get one". But it would make it that much harder to access, arghhh!!
Just tragic.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 06:47 AM
Some very interesting points in that second link, scary statistics.
Those poor parents. What a nightmare.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 06:49 AM
I was so saddened to read about both of those incidents this morning. I must say, the one ray of light coming out of both tragedies is that the one from China didn't have any fatalities.
Honestly, what is it going to take for a hard stand on gun control?

As a second-term president not running for re-election with 4 years up his sleeve, Obama needs to take this opportunity and reform the laws once and for all. I know it won't be easy with the senate and congress and the states not wanting to give up their law-making rights but geez...
Posted 15 December 2012 - 07:00 AM
I feel sick to my stomach. I can't even begin to imagine how scared the parents must have been hearing the news and rushing to the school
Posted 15 December 2012 - 07:02 AM
There should be armed security permanently stationed outside every US school. As sad as this event is, I'm fed with up it. Sorry.
So while the americans hug their guns, I'm going to hug my kid.
Edited by ~chiquita~, 15 December 2012 - 07:07 AM.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 07:15 AM
I doubt that armed security would have helped here. They knew him. They buzzed him in.
Edited by BadCat, 15 December 2012 - 07:15 AM.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 07:19 AM
This is tragic. I can not imagine what the families of these kids are going through.
How many times does this have to happen before the US does something to fix their archaic gun laws? It makes me so mad that people's right, children's right to be safe and kept from harm does not seem to have the same importance as someone's 'right to bear arms'. Completely insane.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 07:23 AM
A friend of mine lives 20 mins from the school, and is a teacher at a school nearby. She has friends with kids at the school who are thankfully safe, but she's pretty shaken up.
I also hope Obama can enforce strict gun control in his final term - he won't be running for re-election, what has he got to lose?
Posted 15 December 2012 - 07:24 AM
Why do people take it out on children?
I don't condone any sort of thing like both incidents mentioned. I just cannot fathom why people do this to children.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 07:24 AM
Horribly tragic I'm in the majority of Americans who never owned a gun and only ever lived in a house with a working gun once and it made me feel very unsafe. My first gun-law rally attended was in 6th grade. WTF is taking so long for people to get this through their heads??
Posted 15 December 2012 - 07:25 AM
It's horrific. Those poor families,
I so close to Christmas.
It really is a now or never time to tighten up US gun laws. These things just don't happen in other countries with anywhere near the frequency.

I just don't understand what it will take for restrictions on gun ownership in the US.
There are plenty of places in the world where gun ownership is allowed but mass shootings don't happen.
I suspect it is a cultural phenomenon. People do things that they perceive as the 'norm', even if its a screwed up horrific 'norm'. Over the last 20 years, it's because an American 'thing' to get angry and then think it's ok to shoot in a public place. I'm not sure why that is, but I also don't think changing gun ownership laws will help.
Posted 15 December 2012 - 07:28 AM
It makes me cry to hear of such things happening. School is supposed to be a safe place for learning and playing, not a place to die.
My heart goes out to every person affected by such a tragedy.

Impressionists Handbookby Robert Katz, Celestine Dars
View All Available Formats & Editions
Section One
No group of artists or period of art history has inspired as much fascination and admiration, or has been as celebrated as the Impressionist school which flourished, centered in France, from 1874 to 1886. The Impressionists Handbook tells the story of these revolutionary painters and the dramatic times that shaped their vision.
Section One
A History of Impressionism
The first section of this book examines the artistic trends which led away from the classical schools of painting and the French landscape tradition in the early part of the nineteenth century to the Realist art of Courbet and on to the shocking debut of Manet in 1863.
Section Two
The Life and Works
The second section considers the most important individuals in the history of Impressionism---Pissarro, Manet, Degas, Monet, Renoir, and Sisley---drawing out from their biographical details the passions that linked them together as a functioning group, and that ultimately pulled them apart.
This authoritative and artistic approach to the history of the Impressionists and the legacy they forged---from Manet's Olympia to Renoir's The Path in the Grass---at last provides a greater understanding of the movement and explains why Impressionism continues to be one of the most popular artistic styles.

It's not every day you get to talk with one of the architects of modern rock. When Beatcomber was offered the opportunity to rap with Michael Andrew McKagan, better-known to any head-banging child of the '80s as Duff, he wrapped his bandanna around his leg, fluffed out his bleached locks, and dialed up the junk-hunk bassist. Along with Matt Sorum and the inimitable Slash, McKagan is one of three Guns N' Roses refugees currently joining reformed heroin pinup boy Scott Weiland in Velvet Revolver. The mainstream press, the Grammy committee, and arenas full of explosively hormoned teenagers have anointed VR as the second coming of GNR, happy to replace Axl Rose's slithery preen with Weiland's damaged brooding. The band hits Sound Advice Amphitheatre in West Palm Beach on Wednesday, May 25.
Strangely enough -- or maybe not strange at all -- McKagan conducted the entire interview while having his tresses trimmed at an L.A. salon:
Beatcomber: This is too good to be true: We were just wondering what you do with your hair.
Duff [speaking with a frog in his throat that's probably been camping out there since '86]: I don't know --[aside] Katie, what do I do with my hair? [background murmuring, then back to the phone] Bleach and tone? Bleach and tone. And she cuts it in a certain way. We're touring so much that it's rare to get back to Los Angeles, and my hair's gotten out of control when we're out for two and a half months and I can't get my hair cut by Katie. She knows my hair and, dude, with long hair, you can get in some pretty bad accidents. You can get a mullet, which has happened to me, or you know, all sorts of shit can happen. If you have the right person, just stick with him or her.

Velvet Revolver taps into the current '80s rock resurgence, but you're really a new band doing new music. Are you guys intentionally mining new territory?
We're not trying to be anything; it's just taking its natural course. We all came up at the same time, a really cool time. In the '70s when we were kids, we listened to Led Zeppelin and the Stones and Marvin Gaye and Earth, Wind & Fire. And then punk rock hit, and that's when I turned... [pauses] I saw Led Zeppelin when I was 11, in 1977, and then I saw the Clash in '79. And I went to the show and it was like, OK, now I can play music. I can learn three chords and start a band. It was a very ecstatic moment in my life, that concert.
A lot has been made of how a majority of the band is sober, and you've been clean for years now. Is this gonna be the Betty Ford Tour, with green tea and yoga mats and candles backstage?
[Laughs] Myself, I've had enough of the debauchery. It does get old after a while. But there's a mixture. We've got Matt [Sorum, drummer] who's a single guy, and you know, I'm married with kids; so is Scott; so is Slash. We're by no means boring backstage, but it's not like what it would've been 12 years ago. I don't remember what happened backstage then. I'm out on the road with a bunch of people now, crew people and bus drivers and stuff, that tell me stories of stuff I've done, so I'm thinking of writing a book of stuff I don't remember. We were in the Netherlands or somewhere, and my bus driver said, "Oh yeah, this is where you guys played and Blind Melon opened." I said, "Blind Melon opened for us?" He goes, "Duff, they opened for you the whole leg of the tour, about three months."
So yeah, it's a little different now, for me definitely. Now I'm lucid. I remember where we play; I know where we're going. My feelings are on the tips of my fingers and -- uh, very much in my heart and soul now. Which kind of sucks in a way, because I miss my wife and kids a lot when we're gone.
I wouldn't have given a shit about that stuff because I was so -- I just medicated myself for so long, to keep from having feelings of maybe not having a girl, or I didn't wanna miss anybody. We're certainly not flag wavers of AA or the Betty Ford Clinic. There's grown men in this band that do what they want. But they don't take it far. When we get on stage, the five of us together is a whole experience that's very honest and heart-on-our-sleeve rock 'n' roll.
That's what it's about. All the other bullshit aside, how I do my hair, whatever, it's about that hour and 45 minutes that we're up there. It's very honest. We don't clock in and play the same set every night. That gets boring. We really feed off the audience. Kinda like that Clash show I was telling you about, you know, Paul Simonon, the bass player, came with an ax and chopped down the wooden barrier between the stage and the kids, and he got up on the mic and said, "We're all in this together." And you know, I saw the light. I was 13 years old, and I said, "That's what it's all about."

Will you buy Civilization 5?
Relevant offers
Virtually everything about Civilization V is refined, from the unit animations to the sound effects, from the larger-than-life cast of characters to the studiously detailed terrain placement, the title is an exemplification of lessons learned over nearly two decades of strategy game design.
It would be unfair to claim that Civilization V is an outright amalgamation of Civilization IV and Civilization Revolution. The DNA is obvious, however many gameplay elements are clearly incorporated to extend the complexity of the gameplay, rather than simplify it, as was the case with Revolution.
The most noticeable difference is that the terrain is now pegged out in hexagonal polygons, rather than the traditional squares, which facilitates your movement without the need to question which tiles are wholly associated with either land or water.
Along with the increased logic afforded to your unit pathing, this move to a hexagonal structure allows the terrain to take on a more natural contour, and the associated opportunity to increase environmental detail has not been lost.
No matter the level of zoom, the world is a finely detailed entity, with subtle DirectX 11 lighting effects and clever placement of game assets complimenting your march through the ages.
It's a deceptive facade. Underneath the new hex layout and the fancy graphics beats the heart of a ground-up remake. The developer Firaxis, with the sweep of a pen, have managed to achieve what the real world has singularly failed to do - namely the abolition of religion. Temples simply add happiness and culture.
Gone too, any form of espionage. You can't even rename your cities. Indeed, it may appear from the outset that most of the changes introduced with the massive overhaul that was Civilization IV have been removed, or at least modified in a substantial way.
Most of the control of your civilization has been handed over to a new "Social Policy" interface, which replaces the firm rule of a particular government style with variants based on ideals of your own choosing.
You can adopt five various policies within eight categories, the majority of which alter your efficiency in producing the staple requirements of all powerful nations - gold, science, culture, and the acquisition of troops.
It's a branched system with prerequisites, so choose wisely - some will compliment your growth if you're overly militaristic, some will hamstring you if you're more interested in science.
Possibly the most dramatic move away from established Civ canon is the requirement now for each unit to occupy its own tile independently of any other unit.
Gone are the days of stacking hordes of riflemen on top of a cliff - you'll now need to play a much more strategic game of supply and demand to ensure you have armies constantly willing to replace those headed to the front line.
This may sound like a chore, but to balance out any defensive weakness introduced by this radical combat alteration, cities are imbued with their own native attack abilities.
Even without a sentried unit within your city, it's capable of repelling loosely organised mobs of barbarians, but not much else.
Ranged units behind city walls can slaughter determined attacks from a considerable distance, preventing (in the early stages of the game, at least) being run over by your inability to field stacks of defensive units.
Combat itself still largely follows the same methods used from time immemorial. You'll be given odds on success prior to any engagement, at which point you can either choose to continue with your warmongering, or perhaps retreat to a safe place in which to start the diplomatic process instead.
The act of ingratiation with your neighbours is again indicative of the attention to detail lavished on this latest instalment - the AI leaders are compelling, humorous, and narrated expertly. It could be argued that the lack of religion has removed some of the arbitrary outcomes that often occur in Civilization IV diplomacy, too.
Aside from enemy combatants, you'll also come across barbarian camps, the destruction of which will provide a relatively easy flow of gold at the early stages of the game.
Assisting here are the new "city states", which act as mini-civilizations in their own right. Occupying a typically small corner of the map, they'll frequently offer missions in exchange for gold and benefits, such as being able to move your troops unhindered across their territory.
The amount of effort you contribute towards either assisting them, or destroying them, can make a substantial difference to your eventual strength, however if it's all a bit too cerebral the casual player can switch them off.
It's clear that the developmental focus here has been the refinement of many key concepts that were otherwise redundant or poorly integrated with previous Civ installments.
The lack of unit stacking and the hexagonal tile layout has introduced a level of strategy not unlike a massive game of chess, whereby the player is now required to ascertain in advance not only the production required to front an army, but the strategic positioning of each and every unit at any given time.
The removal of religion and the introduction of a variable social policy has ensured that no two combatants will every be entirely matched, which more closely reproduces real world politics and serves to add a touch of chaos to the mixture.
Similarly, the hugely improved diplomatic mechanism, with wildly different outcomes possible, again ensure that no two games will ever be quite the same.
If there's one aspect to be wary of, it's that the combat is seemingly weighted towards ranged units - as our preview code lacked the capacity to set up a multiplayer match against a human foe, it's too soon to see if a rush game consisting of high production and swarms of ranged units could introduce a game breaking scenario.
Our preview code also lacked large maps and the ability to mod anything, so we've begun the long wait until the game releases on September 24 before passing further judgement.
From what we've seen so far however, it adheres to the "one more turn" concept so central to each Civilization release, so be prepared to sacrifice a good deal of your life on this one.
