You mean a console that actually has 1st party support?
Yeah, I guess you do get what you pay for. *points and laughs*
Let me break down the creation of this article for you:
Author sees his woefully unsupported console of choice is getting shafted for yet another year. Yet won't admit it.
Author sees competing console has excellent line-up that puts his console of choice utterly to shame.
Authors only recourse at that point it to attempt to discredit the competing console, which he hopes will draw attention from his woefully unsupported console of choice...
Having been lucky enough to play it, deservingly so.
I strongly suspect certain Japanophobic sections of the Western media will gleefully nitpick it to death, but that's to be expected.
Simple. The PS3.
It has the most diverse library by a considerable margin. Nothing else matters.
I still maintain this entire generation sucks in comparison to the previous two though. All pretty visuals and no substance.
Only the truly stupid would judge a 80 hour game from a 30 minute demo.
*shrug* Their loss.
I'm responding in kind to j-blaze's thinly veiled attempt at trolling.
I think it's pretty clear that I'm being facetious.
Yeah!
I'd list all of the Xbox exclusives I'm looking forward to in 2013, but there just isn't enough space in this comment box!
2013 is going to be sweet!
Well since it's F2P you may as well. I certainly am.
So your upset that everyone isn't as incessantly negative as you? Or are you upset that the "Sony fanboys" aren't in fact aligned to Nintendo/MS?
I'm betting on the latter.
Either way, you really need to get your priorities in order, sunshine.
Whether or not Sony can rely on only their first party titles is a moot point entirely.
Apart from the obligatory multiplatform titles, there are more than a few 3rd party exclusives being released for the console.
The question is more applicable to Microsoft, if it really must be asked.
Yikes, and I thought I had a lot at 143.
Nevertheless, a very impressive feat.
A lot. Of the top of my head though:
Ni no Kuni
The Witch and the Hundred Cavalrymen
Sly 4
God of War Ascension
Tales of Xillia
Castlevania Lords of Shadow 2
Disgaea D2
Yakuza 5
The Last of Us
Soul Sacrifice
Beyond: Two Souls
Final Fantasy XIII-3
Sacred III
Kingdom Hearts 1.5 HD
I could add a load of speculative titles to the list, such as Persona 5, and FF...
I have played both. In fact I've played nearly every entry since the series' inception. I never at any point said XIII was better than VI. I don't believe it is, though I still enjoyed both. The fact that you think you can only enjoy one or the other is beyond asinine.
As for your "teeny bobber" witticism, I've been playing games since before you were a twitch in your fathers balls. Perhaps when you get a little older you'll understand what it is...
Wow, you're really on a roll with the imbecilic assessments.
For a start your incredibly puerile mimicking, "Oh it looks good, Oh I can't wait, This looks great this time, They will deliver" is once again baseless. I didn't say those things, and even if I did I certainly wouldn't of prefaced my statements with "this time" since I enjoyed the last two entries. As did a lot of other people. Deal with it, sweetheart. I guess we've been &qu...
I does. And it most probably will be.
Won't stop people bitching though.
Of course. A game is a game regardless of the platform.
Case in point, this year Persona 4 Golden was the best title I played, and I've played nearly every other major release this year. As well as a fair number of the minor ones.
Ah well I bow before you, oh mighty informed one.
But just to sate my curiosity what "crap" have SE promised in relation to this game? For that matter what similarities, other than the protagonist, are there between the previous 2 titles and this one?
All sane speculation points to this being a semi open world action-RPG. Which is by no stretch of the imagination applicable as a genre to its predecessors.
So I ask, what basis do yo...
Oh look, the usual suspects grousing about a game they know fuck all about.
Pfft. It looks great, and it'll likely be a solid title. So at the end of the day, your loss.
I assume you're talking about the new epilogue, rather than the new ending, "accomplice".
I made a hard save beforehand and checked it out. Just, wow. Atlus did an exceptional job of making you feel like a treasonous bastard. :P
Haven't been this excited for a release since the previous generation.
