Mainland Asia? aka China? The game has been released in "Asia" forever.
From Lunar and Arc the Lad with Working Designs to Class of Heroes with GaijinWorks. I'm hoping he is able to get the rights to localized games more in the former category than the latter in the future.
How in the blue moons is that even 'slightly' disturbing. If that is considered slightly disturbing, then someone is going to piss themselves seeing the RE1 1996 intro.
Sexism is sexism. Any person is capable of it regardless of gender.
The problem with this review is it is the Japanese version. We don't know if Sega will cut/censor anything from the western localization which could have a massive effect on the gaming experience (See Yakuza 3).
Not every site reviews every game. If IGN doesn't review game X then it won't be on Metacritic, even if 50 other sites review it. This is even more true for more niche titles from companies like XSEED.
Tomb Raider is a 5 hour game if you skip everything. Who cares about the length of the game as long as it is a fun game.
How many of those XBone sales are actually to Japanese people and not just foreign workers/tourists?
And yet still so self-righteous and condescending that article is.
I hope you actually listened to the podcast, Frakistan, cause I went on a long rant exactly about gamers being tired of the 'cry wolfing' and BS.
Dynasty Warriors 6: Empires for $5? Instant buy for me for some hack and slash fun.
I think it is fair for them since they miss out on lots of stuff late, so it kinda balances things out.
It's worth the money if you are into competitive strategy games like League of Legends, either playing for fun with friends or looking to get pro-level good. If you are a LOTR fan then it's only a bonus.
I respect your comments, and thank you for posting, Axelstone, but I believe you misunderstood the point I was trying to make when I compared Final Fight and Streets of Rage.
Final Fight was a success for the SNES but it was 'exclusive'. The only thing Sega can do is copy it if they want to make a Final Fight for the Sega.

Never clicked the link since it is Kotaku but I'm surprised the entire thing isn't about 'rape culture' in the blurb.
