^ WOW

So you make your own platforms with cloud mario suit.

Wont that make things too easy? I wonder if it's timed or not in terms of how long the platforms last or how long you hold onto the suit?

what is disgaea infinite?  is it a game or a digital comic like that metal gear solid one?

It's a visual novel, like a text adventure game.

I'd say skip it. It's not worth $30-40.

I posted 4 new previews, new trailer and screens of Mario Galaxy 2 in the thread here:

Cool! I'd check it out, but I'm trying to avoid as many spoilerz on this game as possible. No more trailers, pics or previews for me!

i hope every one of you bitches here is on yo knees praying yakuza 4 is getting translated as we speak

... or else

 I want it probably more than anyone, but at this point I wouldn't begrudge SEGA if they acted in their own self interest by not releasing it.

 i don't quite agree.  a localisation job for this game can be as simple as doing the menus in english and inserting subtitles into the cut-scenes (ie what they did with Y2 and Y3).  even if the game has 6 hours worth of video, a single person could do the translation in one month max.  

also sega are big publishers both in the US and Europe, they wouldn't have any trouble publishing their own game.

i do really think it would be stupid of them to say ... it's not a million seller in the west, we're not going to release the sequel.  the game is ready they can sell more with minimal added effort.  also in a sense they owe it to the people who bought the first 3, even if there's not as many of them in the west as they would like.

 But it's probably not even a 100,000 seller.  The localization costs must be significant enough, seeing how they made some shortcuts in Y3 (I am not complaining -- just saying).

I bought the first 3 -- the second one twice -- and all I'm saying is, they've done their best, I won't hold it against them if they stop selling them in the west.

 Waiting for the first few reviews I am.  Full Auto toyed with this concept, but this looks like the fuller implementation of those concepts.  It'll also be nice to have a mid-gen HD arcade racer (since Burnout Paradise was last-gen + .5).

 Pretty much. Someone needs to pick things up where the Burnout games left.

In other news...

zomg.

^Yeah, what do you think of having difficulty levels in open world games (R* said RDR will have them).

Long overdue in my opinion.

 I guess it's because of the difficulty of tweaking settings within a gameworld where so many variables have to be taken into account.
