Unless you have been living in a cave or haven’t left your gaming den this last weekend, you should be aware of the recent events in Japan. The tsunami and earthquake combination has claimed the lives of thousands of people and the death toll is continuing to rise. The industry for Japanese gaming is also suffering, and some of the most notable occurrences have been listed below.
Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.
Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.
It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny
Armored Core VI?
Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.
Is something big coming soon to branch the story?
No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).
You make me sick to my stomach. I pray you never have to endure anything like what the people of Japan are having to right now.
It's been 2hrs why hasn't Her/his post been deleted as yet admins?
Why are people getting so judgmental? It is sad period. Japan has given me so many of my childhood memories.
The entire country is affected so yes, Japan based Sony and Nintendo will be as well. The country is in complete shambles and my heart goes out to them.
Gaming website talking about gaming issues related to the Japanese earthquake. And people are mad about discussing the earthquake effects on the industry of your hobby. I find that odd. We all know those poor people are suffering. We all know the devastation of japan's infrastructure.
Those poor people include people in other countries besides japan whom are financially dependent on the Japanese market including it's gaming market. Japan's economy is intertwined with the global economy of the world. They suffer financially so shall we.
Grieve if you must, but be a little cognizant that the effects of the quake affect on others financially who may not be able to pay their bills state side or in other countries. And that is not said with any intent to decrease the tragedy of what happened!
