PI writes, "With the handheld gaming industry making leaps and bounds in technology breakthroughs while growing with record sales you have to ask yourself what is Microsoft thinking by not putting one out. I would think from all the console wars and exclusive title battles we have witnessed over the years they would want a piece of this pie as well?
It all started in October of 2005 when Microsoft filed the patent application number 20070087830, stated that it was for a multi-component gaming system that will include handheld devices and console devices. This was initially filed just over a month before the Xbox 360 first went on sale. Though it was thought to be more like the iPod with only the basic gaming functions the patent application had suggested something possibly more advanced could be in the works."
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
Microsoft is all about kinect, and right now they don't have enough exclusives to comepete in the handheld market. I think if they do it has to be in a few years not now
Damn, if MS hops in they better come correct, handheld console war is gonna be crazy
It's funny but I was thinking the same thing during our convo last night.
It's called Windows. I hear it's kind of a big deal on PC's both large and small. :-p
microsoft is a software company, they don't do hard ware well.
