Kotaku: When I think about all the role-playing games released in Japan that never make their way to U.S. shores, I like to picture a snarling dragon sitting atop a pile of game cartridges, spitting fire at anyone who comes within breathing distance.
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."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
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).
It's a good thing I find many ways to play my JRPG in whatever means necessary, so I don't feel denied, right Nintendo of America?

Demon's Soul, Sony?
Black Rock Shooter English Version coming to PSN & PSP.
Between companies like NIS, Atlus, Sony, Namco and X-Seed, there aren't actually many titles that don't make it west nowadays.
The wait can be excruciating, sure, but now certain companies have seen the sense to localize their products (or pass them off to people that will) there aren't massive dependencies.
I'm still waiting on .Hack//Link (PSP), Valkyria Chronicles 3 (PSP), Tales of Innocence: R (Vita), Tales of Heart (DS), FF Type-0 (PSP), Tales of Vesperia (PS3 ver) just to name a few. T_T
I'd rather some rpgs were never ported at all. When DQ8 was ported to pal (cos I'm in Australia) it was god damn awful. I was AND STILL AM super pissed. Graphics went from a 9 to a 3 :(
