"I don't think I'll ever be done with my DS, there are still a fair amount of RPGs I haven't played yet, and yesterday, Atlus Japan announced that they are almost done with Devil Survivor 2 which will come out in Japan this summer and is probably going to be the last DS game Atlus will make."

"What's interesting is that when you check on GameStop, the price for most of them is 29.99-39.99, which is generally the same price for DS games, especially when they are games published by Squenix, so it's not really that big of deal."

"Strider was actually included in the Capcom collection made for the PSP, PS2, and Xbox."

"DOMINATRIX BANANAHEAD!!!! 

But anyway, the way that the Japanese call Monster Hunter Tri is Monster Hunter 3(tri)...... or if you're basing it on the kana, Monsta Hanta 3 (torai). Make of that what you will. XD"

"@Juan I just noticed it was Tom Hanks. XD Also, I don't like the idea of putting glass in my eyes, but either way, I think that people attempting to push 3D whatever but need special glasses to work should consider people who don't like the idea of putting glass in their eyes and can't get laser surgery( would, but circumstances have prevented me from being able to do so)."

"@Matthew, in the case of Castlevania, yes, they are part of the same universe, and if you got the anniversary pack that Konami was giving to the people who preordered Portrait of Ruin, they actually include a timeline showing what order everything actually happened. 

Regarding the way I think of sequels, the way I think of sequels is in the sense of Aria of Sorrow and Dawn of Sorrow, where both have something to do with characters from the previous game. In the case of a game such as Silent Hill, Origins comes before the first game, the third game is the sequel to the first, etc. Resident Evil 3 is the sequel to the first, but 2 preceded it because that was what was happening while Jill/Chris/Barry and friends were at the mansion, and Resident Evil 4 is the sequel to Resident Evil 2. Wow, the sequels are totally scattered!! 

Anyway, games that come out in a series after another a la Final Fantasy are just a continuation of a series unless there is another game that is clearly associated with another, such as Dawn of Sorrow after Aria of Sorrow. I hope this helps!!"

"One of the reasons why the 3DS is convenient is because of no need for glasses. I don't really like putting glasses over my glasses, and the glasses that man is wearing would not fit over my glasses, so it's a great idea, but only if you have 20/20 vision to be able to appreciate it."

"@_@ Wow, I never expected to come back to THIS. People, please don't argue. Most of the women I see at GameStop are usually mothers getting something for there kids, but I have seen women there getting games for themselves, I know women who are playing Black Ops, and have seen women at comic book stores. I don't like labels, but most people would call me a core gamer. Please don't attack each other on an article. 

To everybody else who commented on this article, I agree with much of what you pointed out, it reinforces the general ridiculousness of this when there is no nudity. If it were that one Korean online game where the womens' naughty bits are on display, that's something else, but this fails in comparison to that since it isn't offensive."

"Yeah. When I was creating a new account, the registration said that the email was already in use, so I used the "Forgot Password" thing in the hopes that it would tell me what my username was, and it showed up in the email."

"Oh man. This reminds me of something that made me mentally roll my eyes in an article Game Informer where they talk about games getting revisioned or whatever. One dude said that Monster Hunter needs to be revisioned in such a way that is appealing to Western gamers by making fights faster and something else I forgot. Monster Hunter is a series that generally demands patience. It isn't that difficult to get into, but it does get hard especially if you have no patience. This isn't a hack n slash game. Therefore, it is going to be a pain for people who only play games similar to Bejeweled(Bejewled is addicting, but like most addicting things, it gets boring after a while).

Now, I only recently became aware of the fact that a lot of people were using this "casual gamer, hardcore gamer" label, and I disagree with it, but I can understand why it is that people come up with terms like that, though I never use them. To me, it doesn't really make anybody any more or less of a gamer, and I'd rather think positively and look at it as a way of the people who play Bejeweled et al of potentially getting into other games that I like playing; for example, if for whatever reason, they have a PSP, and they get Monster Hunter, we can play together, so the more difficult quests are slightly easier and they can get ideas on how to fight the Monsters for if they ever decide to play alone. "

"I understand that the creatures are fake and all, but the point that I'm trying to make is that while there will be people who have a problem with it, and it isn't necessarily something I agree with myself, I don't think it merits as much attention as it is given, especially when you are more concerned over not getting injured. Another thing I forgot to type was that when she doesn't have as many clothes, it's not that hot anyway unless you are into BDSM, because her body itself is not exempt from damage, so there are bloody cuts and some odd white stuff..... I'm not sure what it is.

I just want people to actually play the game before saying how wrong they think it is, you know? I'm sure there are videos on YouTube, so if people aren't worried over being spoiled, they should check it out to see what is really going on. But thanks for your comment, and for welcoming me back!! I forgot my username, and at the moment, my computer is busted, so let's see for how long. "

"new about this game, but never played it, since I found out about it WAY after it was released, but I must say that I WILL be looking for the notes(I play by ear)on my guitar and bass so that I can play these songs."
