Thanks for the great post! I only just now saw it bc Marino tweeted out the community promos. I kept trying to get into ROTK and NA over the years, but I just never stick with it.

I appreciate that they've been releasing their older titles on Steam, but gosh I wish I could play them in English... I finally got into the Warriors series recently, thanks to Hyrule Warriors and Dragon Quest Heroes. I own about half of the Dynasty/Samurai games now, across PS2, PS3, PS4, and PC, and I always check out the spin-off IP games. I'm excited for DW9 since it seems like it'll be kind of a different thing, while still having the pretty mindless hack n slash at its core.

Pokemon Conquest was also super interesting to me, but I could never get into because the beginning is so slowly paced. Like, I've played strategy games and SRPGs before, stop tutorializing! I wish they'd do more games like that though. Mario + Rabbids seems like it will be a good time, but that's obv not Koei. Imagine a Romance of the Mushroom Kingdom, tho...

Super weird, considering Konami is supposed to be developing games people play for FUN.

Love Austin so far! Great summary, as I too am excited by anime bots.

Good job, Brad 2! Always look forward to these.

Thanks for the article. There are apparently more big games that I will end up buying this year than I thought, but I'm right there with you Jeff in terms of "where are the big games?!?" It seems like there are a lot less. Happy to have the smaller $10-40 releases deliver, but the lack of big tent pole blockbusters is disturbing.

I watched the whole fucking run the next night, it was crazy. Nice article, Patrick!

How Web 2.0 is that logo? I hope it's good, please be good, ohgodohgod.

Wait, y'mean DICE won't just let BF4 remain broken? Fuck dude, that's some dedication! :p

I saw a post by Fish on Neogaf circa 2007 where he talks about being bipolar. It's with that info that I can't believe people have resorted to calling him an "asshole manchild" like I've seen elsewhere. Yes, with treatment bipolar disorder can be controlled, but treatment doesn't "cure" you and you have to be on top of taking your meds. I'm not mad at Phil Fish and I don't think he's an asshole. I try to not think such things of people who have chemical imbalances. But whatever, mental illness is a trigger in society that activates people's ignorance. We aren't "allowed" to be mentally ill because only "asshole manchildren" are allowed to be sick. Apparently.
