Do they actually say that? There goes my chances of ever listening to that podcast.

I've only listened to the episodes after the GB migration, but apparently in the past before they got told by some angry listeners. They still draw attention to it in a joking and apologetic manner on the off chance that Europe gets mentioned and it's still annoying.

Or maybe it's just me!

As for the importing, I'd have to guess they know but they're stuck in a rut / don't give a shit.

The cheapest wine you have.

Gameplay unless I'm playing To the Moon or something similar.

DBZ: Budokai 3. The 2D Bleach fighting games by Treasure for the DS were great too.

And if you count Tatsunoko vs. Capcom.. Well, I bought a fight stick for the Wii of all things and stuck some sanwa parts in.

Metro, Shogun 2 and Hard Reset are probably the most demanding games in your library. Say what you will about BulletStorm but it looks gorgeous with everything cranked up.

Oh and Witcher 2, duh. Ubersampling!

@FluxWaveZ: Sure, not that I wouldn't like to hear their justification for completely ignoring Europe. I can't imagine SMT being less popular than Disgaea and the lot but someone's always been there to publish them.

Have Atlus ever said why they don't go for a European publishing branch?

Not to my knowledge, but if the 8-4 Play podcast is anything to go by we're only interested in soccer and Plok.

Devil Summoner 2 and Strange Journey have been the only recent high profile (i.e. SMT) games that someone else wasn't willing to roll the dice with so I guess you can't blame 'em.

Here's a good question: How big is the average vita game digitally?

Most retail games weigh between one and three gigs, LBP and Ragnarok Odyssey are 1.1GB while the MGS HD Collection, Uncharted and Mortal Kombat are about 3. Tales from Space is less than 200 megs.

Amazing, I can probably get an import copy of the upcoming BlazBlue game before this PAL release happens. Hilaaaarious.

I had the fatigue going from 2 to Brotherhood. The stealth is barely there, the combat's too easy to be rewarding and, while I don't expect much innovation from an annual series, the core gameplay remains unchanged. I'm just interested in seeing where they take the series, will they explore an era where you can't justify counter-killing a company of soldiers/guards in melee combat?
