EuroGamer - Activision is a company built around two pillars. The first is World of Warcraft, a product which generates annual billion-dollar revenues from solid, predictable monthly subscriptions. The second is Call of Duty, a franchise whose billion-dollar credentials come from a monolithic boxed product launch just ahead of the holiday season each winter.
It seems it was long time ago. A bunch of friends spending hours on end playing RPG games, sitting around the table with the box of cold pizza. Excited about the story, listening to the Game Master, they were completely engaged in the worlds only visible to them and their imaginations.
The GM is the programmer, and in MMOs and co-ops, you can play with others. If you want to ONLY use your imagination for the visuals, read a book.
Scrawl: "Looks like we know how that new Compile Heart countdown is going to end. The latest issue of Famitsu has confirmed that Agarest Senki 2, known as Record of Agarest War 2 in the US, is Compile Heart’s newest title."
1) Hope they put it on disc this time.
2) Hope this is a positive for Neptune coming over as well.
If so, that's being developed & published by Idea Factory. Compile Heart has nothing to do with it (Thank God for that).
Thought Compile Heart was one of the companies lending characters.
Was also speaking in general as in regards to a US of Neptune. If these guys are offing a second game, NIS or Atlus, both of whom offer quirkier titles, will put that one out.
@kagon01:
My issue isn't - wholly - with the DL-only option, but the price. The first game should be $30. Maybe $40, and by that I mean $39.99. The only reason its $45 is the 360 disc version which has extras. Nevermind that by all rights its a PS2 game. Something that proabbly could have been done if the devs had the GOW2 engine or tools.
I approve of this god damn message.
Could have gotten my 60 bucks if they just put it on a disc.

Is this a half decent SRPG, porn aside, cause if it is, i might just decide to go and buy it for the 360.
There's no porn just some sexual innuendos but that's it.
Also it is a great game by itself, maybe not graphically but everything else is top tier.
Yup, it's a decent game. I just hate that a move has to go first before any attack options.
This is not the first time that Bless Online receives a server merge in Korea. An announcement was made on the official Korean site.
Bless must be an amazing game to be on all these platforms (according to the tags): iPad iPhone Nintendo DS PC PS Vita PS2 PS3 PS4 PSP Wii Wii U Xbox Xbox 360 Xbox One
Remember that not everything is charged for, a lot of the content shown is actually going to be free. Question is, what is this revolutionary thing they say will change online gaming?
I'm excited to see what it is, but I can only imagine what it will be. So long as it doesn't ruin gameplay I don't really mind or care-- and for those making a big deal out of it, let's just hold out until we see more information. I don't think they will be so stupid as to give subscribers gameplay advantages.
Truth be told, there is a lot we don't know yet, so I'm just going to wait
It literally is burning your money. You're paying for nothing of any value.
Paying for ADVANCE stats you must be shitin me.
If we all agree that Actibitch is greedy as fuk. Then I can't see how any rational gamer thinks that they won't at some point give advantages to subscribers! It's just plain obvious. At first no...they'll want to side step criticism of unbalancing the game. But as shareholders start complaining that all 40mill buyers arent sub-ing.......you bet they'll just say fuk it. At that point their fans will be hooked.
Because the reality is.....any sub service for a mp competitive game, will by definition of game require a adavantage for subscribers.
Only way to side step this is create a hordes mode with skynet intelligence....and then convince consumers that fight hordes of AI is better than fighting real people. Lol
The funny thing is that they did this for free with WaW. So I guess that was kind of a beta. Now they feel like milking the CoD fans.
