" I was already against the stupid "Your mom will hate this game" campaign, but then they had to add the most predictable tag-along song to the mix. I don't know who in 2011 thinks the Smashing Pumpkins' "Bullet with Butterfly Wings" is still an edgy, hardcore song.   I feel bad for Visceral Games because they make a great games, but their publisher wants to destine their game for failure it seems.   Luckily, early sales numbers indicate DS2 is during just fine.  "

I love how there is no middle ground between "most awesome" and "just okay". I think they're a damn good band, but I wouldn't call them my favourite ever (Pink Floyd) or even the best ever (Pink Floyd). That said, I love their music, I'm just not a super big fan of Tool superfans.

I liked some parts of Kickassia, but all in all it wasn't any good. If you're critiquing it as a film then yeah, it's fucking terrible. 
 
Meh. I haven't visited TGWTG in months. Their shtick gets old after awhile.

The one thing that confuses me about Obamacare is this: 
 
You will be a criminal if you don't have some sort of health insurance. 
 
That seems a little messed up to me. Why not just do it like everyone else? Nationalised/Universal health care systems are a good thing. They mean paying a bit more in taxes, but I don't mind paying those taxes when it means if I break my arm or I get hit by a car (again) that when I wake up I won't have to worry about charges and fees incurred for daring to want treatment. I don't think anyone would mind privatized firms still existing. I just wish people could stop thinking like capitalists for one moment and think about the benefit of their brothers and sisters. If you're too selfish to think about that, then think about how it could benefit you and yours.

I have to admit the trailer did look intriguing. 
 
Remains to be seen if the game will be any good, though.

" Just say, "I'm not interested," and close the door. Or don't answer the door at all if you don't want to be disturbed. I've found that the few Jehovah's Witnesses who've come to my door come just once and then never come back. It's hardly worth getting bent out of shape about. It would be nice if they'd pay attention to "no solicitation" signs, but often they don't. If you're not expecting anyone at your door, it's rarely worth getting up to answer it.  Except, the other day I did answer and ... Girl Scout Cookies! Rare exception. "

" @Hailinel: You got people who follow Kojima the same way, or anime teams the same way.  The only difference here is that Nomura is showing signs of growing as a writer, developer, and artist.  You really have no idea how big Nomura is in Japan do you?   His fanbase is massive, and yes...a lot of them tend to be females, but it's okay.  Nomura's fanbase will defend him to the end.  He has yet to make a bad game. "

I realize that Nomura has a huge fanbase.  That's no reason to eat up his every word with sugar and honey and then sing his praises to all the land, however. "

"Honestly I have no faith in this game, or anything with the Square Enix branding now. I just don't see how anyone could hold out hope for this title. It looks pretty, sure, but after FF 13 I highly doubt it'll play well. "

It's a Tetsuya Nomura game!  He has yet to fail!  He has the best track-record out of everyone at Square. "  

Considering Square, that ain't saying a whole hell of a lot.  I'd swing at this game with cautious optimism, if I were you. "

It also feels like I'm the only one who wasn't blown away by the combat or the awkward mech stuff... "
