EA got Star Wars

"DICE and Visceral will produce new games"

Could be interesting. Clearly there will be a Battlefield version of SW.

Yeah it does look good...Rambo is very Metal Gear-ish anyway so hopefully it plays like that.

The final boss in The Last Story is the hardest boss I have fought in a long time....& it also has that old school JRPG thing where it transforms when you think the game is over and then you die and then you have to do the entire fight again....piss me the fuck off!!!

Anybody beaten this game here? Great game btw...I'd say like an 8.6 rating or so.

You guys want to try some Luigi's Mansion online?

I can tonight.  Mp is fun.

Roughly what time are you guys talking about?  I'm nine hours ahead of east coast time.  Your "tonight" is probably "tomorrow morning " for me!

I have to charge it because my son killed my battery playing Mario.  I'll look for you when it's charged.  If you're not online then, I'll understand.

For the last three years, at least half of the annual top 10 has been rated M.

Analysts contacted by GamesIndustry International brushed aside concerns about the game industry becoming more violent.

"I'm certain that the number of violent games isn't materially greater than in the past, but the number of overall games is lower," Wedbush's Michael Pachter said. "Violent games sell better than kids' titles generally, so more E-rated game projects are cancelled, and the same number of M-rated projects are approved when publishers decide to cut back on the number of titles published."

And then begins the diatribe after that, for the rest read the article.

ARRGH.  Okay, firstly, Pachter, you're wrong, but we already knew that because you're Pachter; let me explain what the problem is this time though.  The statistics are addressing an increase in the prevalence of mature-rated games.  Saying "Violent games sell better" is either not addressing this by saying they always sold better, or is restating the same thing, that presently they're selling better.

As for the article's suggestion of the industry "becoming more violent" that's also throwing a completely inane conclusion in where there isn't one to make.  Mature games increasing in total sales doesn't mean that the same market is buying more violent games, or that more violent games are being made; it's entirely plausible that this can be contributed to an increase in marketshare in the demongraphic that buys the most mature games - adult males aged 18-35.  That is an example of an alternate explanation, so until we have actual facts to back claims up, don't try and make any.

also, saying "brushed aside concerns" is incredibly biased journalism.  It's implying they're being dismissive and unfair.

I just beat Fire Emblem Awakening mwhahahahha!!! Seriously though the game was long and hard.

*insert reference here*

The story is blah (it is literally the same story in every FE game) but the gameplay is superb and the characters were awesome, liked the few additions they did make like the relationship stuff. Still feels like they could do more to revamp the game some.

Still a solid 9/10 took me 35 hrs on normal, will have to play on hard sometime.

Nintendo said it is having a presentation on the morning of E3, not sure if it will be broadcast live. Might be at the same time as MS.

That lead to this

Dragon Quest 10 Wii U screens

Oh will the world just stop teasing me already and just announce whether this game is going to be released or just canned? And for the sake of S-E and Nintendo it better be released in the West, otherwise I'm going down to corporate and throwing my feces at them.

vader, in case you don;t check back at gameunder.net

what i should have said in the podcast:

Here's my logic. The Gamecube discs lacked the ability to store GTA3 (the other two systems used DVD), the Wii was not powerful enough to run GTA4. There is no reason why the Wii U could not handle GTA5. But I am guessing the install base is too low to justify the investment.

How good is Luigi's Mansion? Its just amazing. There is a new game mechanic introduced practically every mission. There is so much to do in such a confined space, like some point and click adventure game mixed with loads of action elements. You play this game and realize why Nintendo is still king of game design.
