"I explained my position: that I am here to advocate for games and gamers. To show the world that gamers are good people and that video games are an artform as worthy of acceptance as movies and books. The following response is what made me rethink the entire situation. One guy said to me, “That’s a great message, everyone can get behind that.” This is when it hit me, my message was a sound one but it wasn’t being heard because of the GamerGate blanket. This is when I realized that for my message to be heard loud and clear, I needed to drop the “GamerGate” label. I can continue to fight for gamers, games and expose those who would make us look bad without using the hashtag. It was unnecessary and was hindering my efforts to promote gaming as a positive force in the world."
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
This gamergate thing is starting to spiral in directions I don't care to engage in. As November approaches I just want to play games and be happy. I'm tired of social politics getting in the way of my enjoyment. I agree with what the author says in this. We don't need to attach ourselves to the hashtag to make a difference.
GamerGate started off with good intentions but now it seems like people are fighting for the sake of fighting. There is no unified goal or message.
I'm curious to see what both sides think of this article.
