I absolutely need to play this game now. I've been wanting to play Demon's Souls for a while but the lack of a PS3 has not allowed me the pleasure. I love difficult games that can be conquered with just enough skill and knowledge. I'm definitely picking Dark Souls up now that it's on the Xbox360.

Meanwhile, Udon is putting out their huge Mega Man fanart book fairly soon (if it isn't already released that is) in which they received somewhere in the hundreds for entries (just from Deviant Art alone, not sure on other entries). Yeah, Mega Man doesn't have that many fans seems like they're just trying to blame the people and not themselves. I get that MML3 was game made with the help of the fans, but from everything I've seen of this game it looked rather professionally done. 
 
It's weird for me to be outraged by this since I wasn't into the project -- I love Mega Man, but I'm not getting a 3DS so there's that -- but it's just the bitter assholery brought on by Capcom's PR people and Dev teams that has been grating on my nerves. Though, from my perspective I saw this coming as I tend to find Capcom as a company that doesn't go too far from what it knows. Hence why they like selling the games to us. Or at least that's just my opinion.

*slow -- yet sracastic -- clap*

Great article, dude! You're already proving (to me at least) why you're one of the best gaming journalists out there with this story. Top notch stuff!

Normally I'm cool with whatever cockamamie plot a game is going to throw at me. It's not my story that's being told so I tend just watch the plot unfold and try to enjoy it. Of course, I don't condone forcing yourself to enjoy something. That's just ridiculous.  
 
With that said, I'd change two game plots. Fallout 3's plot and Dragon Age: Origins'. 
 
Fallout 3: I didn't really care for the "find your dad" plot line. It wasn't a bad plot, but I found myself wholly more invested in the side plots and missions. I honestly didn't care too much about finding my character's father. Though I think that was mostly because he was technically a weird amalgamation of British and Italian. So really, my bad on that side. However, I would have preferred to do something besides find my dad and then SUDDENLY get thrust into stopping a biochemical weapon. Honestly: I wanted more of the biochemical weapon plot! It reminded me of Fallout 2 what with trying to find the GECK. That's not to say that Fallout 3 should be exactly like Fallout 2. They are separate entities. 
 
Dragon Age: Origins: The story isn't really moving me. I honestly don't care about it. I'm using present tense here because I haven't finished the game. I know, I know. I plan on finishing it. Maybe my thought will change then. Heck, I've changed my mind about stories before. So how would I fix Dragon Age? Well, I'm going to fix it myself by restarting the game and make a clone of Duncan just to see how awkward I can make it. 
 
I have a tendency to insert my own stories into open world RPGs like that. Most of the time I do love the plots of these games. I thought KOTOR and Fallout 2, for example, were amazing. Same with games like Morrowind or Fable 2. When I can make my character look and act any way I chose, then I like to do things I think my character would do.

Hail to the fan-make, baby!
