Japanese hardware sales, February 6 - 12: Dragon Ball GT: Final Bout edition

And still has the best opening cutscene than any Dragon Ball game, IMHO.

PlayStation Vita torn down, deemed easily repairable due to modular design

Glad to hear it. My PSP broke down and there was no way to repair it... had to buy a new one.

Jak and Daxter Collection trailer gets deep, super nostalgic

In terms of value, this collection takes the cake, since there are 3 games, and each one of them are awesome.

And if you plan on getting RE4, try to get the Gamecube/PS2/Wii version. I hear the HD re-release was poor.

Do Japanese RPGs need good stories?

@TopGunZ

That's not really true. The main difference between J and W RPGs stories are their narratives. JRPGs are character driven. WRPGs aim more towards making the player itself as the hero.
So both have different priorities, with from different methods and (most importantly) aimed at different publics.

*facepalm*

Look, it's bad enough that we, as gamers, tend to not respect each other's tastes in video games, so let's try and not do the same thing with music ok?

Don't call it a remake: Final Fantasy X is a 'remaster,' to be clear

7, 8 and 9 have already been re-released on PSN. (at least in Japan, as far as I know)

Yes, they could have. But they haven't. Deal with it.

I know, right? I mean, it's not like the games are getting any better... oh wait

Egoraptor's Sequelitis analyses Super Castlevania IV

Like I said before, this sense of choice is false. The level design was based around the items, but the whip is so overpowered you never really need them.
It's like going agaisnt a zombie horde using an AK47 with infinite ammo and a knife. Sure, you can use the knife if you feel like it, but why bother when you have something much more effective.

He's not being whiny. He said he thinks the game is good.
The moral of the story is: SC4 spent too much time trying to be like the original CV that it missed the opportunity to truly shine on it's own.

@neoand12

That's part of the point. Why be given the choice between items and whip when clearly the whip is only ever needed at any given time.
The items are absolutely pointless on a gameplay standpoint. Like he said: the items are only for the sake of consistency.
Also, the level design was mainly designed around the items, so that alone pretty much nullifies your sense of 'choice'.
