What became of that GAF movement, anyway? I haven't heard from it in a while.

I remember importing Bayonetta for PS3 back in the day.
I did it once, I can do again!

You're asking this of a company that is just now getting HD gaming?
It amazes me how with the Wii's drought on the last few years of its life, they didn't even prepare enough for HD gaming. WTF were they thinking

That drought shouldn't have been and it's entirely on NoA's (Reggie's) head, imo. Even if they weren't going to be million-sellers, there are certainly games that were exclusive in Europe and/or JP that really should have been brought over here to minimize the effects of a drought and making people forget that the console was not merely a party console.
Lots of stuff they published in Japan, for instance.
I'm still a bit sore about Zero: Tsukihami no Kamen, Another Code: R, Captain Rainbow, Zangeki no Reginleiv, Disaster: Day of Crisis, Takt of Magic, etc.

And when convinced to bring over Xenoblade finally, they do so in limited quantities and at a single retailer.
Nintendo, I love you, but sometimes I have to ask myself why

Chop off 13 pixels vertically and convince EviLore to reinstate animated avatars, and you've got yourself a nice avatar there.
Helmsly you sonuvabitch
Yea, I have no shame in admitting I enjoyed FFXIII.
FFXII is the best in the series to me, biiiiiiiiiiiitch! The biggest gripes I had with that game was the the license boards ended up the being the same across the board, and that the Gambit system took forever to get truly useful. Besides that, I loved that game, loved.

I enjoyed Final Fantasy XIII for the most part. The battle system was fun, the linearity didn't bother me, Sazh is a bro, Fang and Vanille are awesome and some of the story/lore stuff is kinda cool but the arse falls out of it at the end at the part where it opens up and becomes a monster hunt/"just go finish the damn game" thing.
Not the best game in the series but not the abomination it's made out to be either. Better than Final Fantasy IV

...I couldn't last a minute of this shit.
I told y'all Cena sucked anyway. Poor Daniel Bryan.
I can see why people hated FFXIII, it has its problems, and it was a bit of a chore for me to finish. FF is one of the series where it's really easy to understand peoples opinions on any of the games, since they're usually pretty different.
Although some fans flip when I say I didn't like FFX.
EDIT: My favs are, FFIV----FFVI----FFIX----FFXII, and I sorta liked FFXIII.

Is Spelunky worth all of the accolades it got last year? In terms of how it feels as opposed to the stuff you do in it.
How difficult is it? I keep thinking of Spelunker whenever I think of Spelunky.
I don't think I'll ever get the whole "my FF is better than your FF" thing. I tease people about FFIV all the time (and I get teased back), but whatever. I don't care that people like it or not.

Well, of course. There's an FF for everyone since the games are so different from each other. Some people like certain things over others. I mean, I like FFII, FFIII FC, FFV, FFIX, FFX-2, and FFXII the most. I love FFVII a lot, too (and I'm very affectionate towards that game because it's one of the very few RPGs I could talk to almost anyone who plays games casually or people who don't play RPGs that often with; Say FF7 to many people and they'll recall at least something about the FF7 compilation). So... tastes are always going to vary.I can see why people hated FFXIII, it has its problems, and it was a bit of a chore for me to finish.

I hope that if FFX|X-2 HD do well enough we get an HD release of FFXII International. The varied license boards sounds like music to my ears, and imagining the game in HD is gggggggggggg
But, Schala... my FF is better than your FF.

Hey, it's a game from Terry Cavanagh (VVVVVV/Super Hexagon guy). Nice!
EDIT: Oh my God. This game has an RPG launcher. When you shoot your rocket-propelled grenade at somebody, the game suddenly stops and a role-playing game launches. That's insane.

Spelunker is one of Spelunky's direct inspirations; the basic theme's the same, you can see where some of its mechanics were carried over, and you have to be very methodical in both games or you're a dead man. But they couldn't be more different once you get down to how they actually play. Spelunky's lightning fast, and it's a roguelike to the core even with all the platforming elements. This means that it will kill you, but also that you will know exactly why you died and that it was entirely your fault. None of the basic mechanics are individually complex, but they all interact, and much of the learning curve involves figuring out the many ways you can play the game against itself just so. There's technically a timer, so you're encouraged to move quickly even as doing so raises your risk of death immensely, but even the timer can be circumvented with the right tools and knowledge. Or you can move as fast as possible and time attack the game instead, which has its own leaderboards. And when you do die, whether that took four seconds or forty minutes, you're just one button press away from starting over with an all new set of maps, and you'll want to because you know this time you won't make the same mistake. You'll make a completely different one instead, and you'll press restart, and so on.
It's impeccably balanced, has the precise controls (and general mentality) of Super Meat Boy, plenty of secrets, and a ton of music from the guy who composed for Super Crate Box. I can't recommend it enough (especially as an antidote to really crappy JRPGs). It's fun to play and fun to learn and doesn't hold your hand in the slightest.
Sorry but my favorite game is Time & Eternity. Can't get enough of rehashing/recoloring literally everything!
It's called variation on a theme. It's genius.

That's your second favorite
Does Senran have recolors every 2 encounters?! I THINK NOT!
Pretty sure SEGA thinks that there are no Sonic fans in NA.

RIP Streets of Rage Remake

Sega is a strange case. They're completely fine with fangames... but that SSOR remake? NOPE!
I wonder if there was something that really warranted a C&D? It's so strange.
Apparently they're not a fan of Sega game footage on Youtube either.
Did that ever get resolved? I can't believe Sega would do such a thing... makes me wonder if it's just a disgruntled employee behind that.
