    You underestimate how truly dumb people can be. In this day and age, it's quite difficult to filter the true retardations from people trolling

    I didn't even really consider this trolling, I was trying to be satirical. Actually I was trying to write a legitimate analysis of why I thought Eternal Sonata was a bad game and then realized I was too lazy and typed up a bunch of shit I thought was funny.

    You'd be surprised how close you were to some genuine arguments I've heard against that game.

    It's terrifying how many people didn't get the joke. Especially after the people who DID get it made it clear that it's a joke.

    We need to bring back those "reading is FUN-damental" ads.

    @punpun: Autism is has to do with stunted social skills. You're thinking of retardation. Good job.

    @Juicebox: Pretty sure he was kidding about marijuana. At least, that's the impression I got when he directly followed his statements about marijuana with cocaine being safe.

    Edit: I don't see how so many people failed to grasp that he was trolling. I know it's not immediately obvious, but when some makes the acknowledgement that they're talking about a subjective matter as fact, they're most likely trolling. Also, did anyone read the part where he said he was too busy reading Natural Bodybuilding to watch the cutscenes? Dead give away.

    @ViciousAnchovy: No I was thinking of autism alright. Or maybe it was Asperger's. Whatever, same difference. Point is, I've heard that sufferers have a hard time telling when people aren't being serious, hence my assholish comment.

    For the record I may or may not have been under the influence of marijuana while writing this piece.

    I think we all got older and the newer, meme-centric kids of the internet moved in to dominate. Unless you are telling a joke that has been repeated an infinite amount of times on the internet, it will be lost.

    You fight Chopin at the end of the game. That automatically makes it the BEST game ever.

    Thought this was serious because the subtitles at the bottom of the first picture are just awful writing, but no man could like Linkin Park and Giant Bomb unironically.

    My actual favorite band is Nickelback.

    I didn't like Eternal Sonata. At all. BUT, if you think it is the worst game ever made then you clearly have not played enough bad games.

    Well, the worst game I played this generation was Tom Clancy's Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter. You can't argue with me about that, as what I say is fact, irrefutable fact. Man, the stink of sheer boredom from that still haunts me. I am going to go and listen to Chopin to get that thought out of my head.

    Okay so your dissing Eternal Sonata? Hahahahaha! Nice try but you are sooo off on the game. I bet that this game could powen your ass any day! You think that the only games that people play out there are MW3, Block ops, Halo, etc..

    There are other gamer types and lots of people don't just like those games, Eternal Sonata is an awesome game and Fredrick Chopin is a way better songwriter/composer than Linkin Park.

    Lets see you make it universal, Linkin Park is just one of the many bands out there in the world. Drugs will kill you anyways, lets see. I'll go take some Mineral Powder, turn into a zombie, AND EAT YOUR FACE OFF! How would you like that?!?! I'm pretty sure you wouldn't, so if I were you, I would go with the Floral Powder, because I wouldn't want to live the rest of my life eating all of my loved ones just to eventually get my head blown off.

    So like, are you one of those 35 year old guys still living at home, in mommy and daddy's basement?Your just another cocky ass mother fucker who thinks "she" can make fun of a game just because you don't like it when most people most likely do.

    I'm ashamed that it took me till I got to the part where you wrote that Marijuana is the #1 killer of teens before I started questioning whether you were completely serious.

    Ugh, People like you are what make me lose my faith in humanity these days... I mean really.

    You are a worthless, sexist, pig. Video games were not just made for uncultured, male, fanboys who enjoy spending their time shooting things. You are a disgrace to the video gaming population and I really wish that you didn't give us gamers such a bad name. I don't know if anyone has informed you, but many females like video games too and the game developers understand this. Just because it isn't one of your stupid FPS games does not make it the worst game in existance. Oh, and another thing... Yes, you seem to have an ok taste in music (Maybe), but there are some of us who enjoy Frederic's works. Back to characters... Not all female video game characters are meant to be your sexy fantasies. Polka is only 14 and isn't meant to be a sex toy, unlike many you may have seen. And with the floral powder, there are many herbal remedies that are not drugs, and if that is where your mind goes when you think of plants, then there is something wrong with you and that is not the game's fault. This game was obviously too intense you uncultured fools with no intelligence. If you didn't like this game, kindly don't play it and leave it to those who have the culture and IQ to enjoy it.

    Hey.

    Hey.

    Know what I picked up instead of Eternal Sonata?

    Star Ocean 4: The Last Hope

    It was a good choice and I need to make a lengthy blog post about that game because holy shit it's scarier than the Silent Hill series.

    At least the combat was good in Star Ocean. Eternal Sonata is a pretty but slow ass boring slog.

    I mean, it's not the worst game ever but it's not good
