Ever since the Internet (and possibly before) graced the Earth, there has always been a large, opinionated and often heated debate over what is better. PC or consoles.
Now, as a youth, I was heavily invested into games consoles, such as the Nintendo 64 and the PS2. I then found my feet with PC gaming, but it was nothing serious. Usually consisting of large stints on strategy games. However, after getting rid of my Xbox 360 around 2 years ago, I made a foray into PC gaming. This was largely an experiment
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Honestly, there's a certain magical feeling that is missing from modern console gaming.
With the growth of the industry and giant publishers ruling our gaming world, it seems that in most places you look, the soul of our beloved hobby has matured but in a sort of unsettling way.
There was something fundamentally different and more wondrous about playing some super smash bros back on N64, or Kirby on my grey gameboy fat. It was more fulfilling.
Part of me wonders, though, if it's just because I've aged considerably or if it really is something fundamentally changed in the industry.
Can't quite put my finger on it, although I do know I feel different. That's about all I know for sure.
As far as PC gaming goes...it kinda feels the same to me. There's bigger players and better game distribution and better operating systems/hardware, but the spirit of PC gaming feels the same to me.
Ultimately, over time, I've stuck with and always returned to PC gaming.
Pc games have more advantages than consoles because they are open source (modding, higher resolution, higher framerate, faster loading, cheaper games, major discounts, far more exclusives, etc) but consoles are easier.
I prefer the AAA budget games, and those AAA budget exclusives are better than the ones on the PC. And actually, there aren't really that many AAA budget exclusives on the PC.
That's just my own personal feeling.
thats like dodge viper vs shopping cart
I have switched to pc gaming for such games as BF3 but I am sure I will return to consoles when the next gen comes out. I still play BF3 with a controller for movement and mouse for aiming and now I find it hard to go back to just controller. The cost of PC gaming hardware is just too much since I spent $1400 on a mid/high end rig which is really too much compared to consoles but the allure of the higher rez and larger servers was just too much of a temptation.
