What?

Nevermind, I don't want to know.

I agree with this Andy on both counts. TNL is entertaining and so is Ancel!

The game they're making is officially top-secret and should be revealed at E3.

Because I'm really anal about this sort of thing, here's your source, right?

Also includes hope for LBA3. Hot shit.

WD sucked ass, and Vic Ireland was an asshole. Just because they brought over some good games doesn't forgive them for fucking them up.

I really wanted to put Sammy up there, everyone knows how much I love guilty gear. But it just didn't have the testicles required to enter that hallowed random list.

MS rarely needs to advertise as it has something like 90% of the market. Having a system out =/ people switching to Vista either.

I remember a few years ago, the Video game sector of Sony was the only thing profitable in the company.

Food for thought, or lack thereof.

Damn lack of respect spreading prevented me from inflating your internets-ego with reputation. :(
It's SO damn true... Silhouette Mirage was such a travesty.

I've seen a few comments to that effect, but the one I saw mentioned Montpellier in particular. Raynal seems to answer his mail pretty regularly. I used to have it somewhere.

You didn't buy saves like that. After a fight you'd gain regular and magic experience. To save you'd have to spend magic experience, thus making it take longer to be able to upgrade/learn new spells.
I guess they did that to cut down on people crawl-saving, but you know what? I just paid $60 for your fucking game. I believe I should be able to play it any way I want without stupid penalties.

"TNL's favourite publishers..." are all being swallowed up by bigger companies, or merging to form atrocities. It's scaring me.

Yeah, I remember it being something retarded like that. It's been a while since I've played it.

Sega and Sammy are the same company, so you already did put them up there. ;)

The amount of Magic EXP that was expended in saving was relatively insignificant. While I agree that WD plunged their hands into the game's code a little deeper than a publisher should, dishing out a few MExp for saving wasn't nearly as inhibitive as Resident Evil's ink ribbons, Breath of Fire 5's tokens, or any of the other bullshit that Capcom has forced on us over the years.

I agree. Let's burn down Capcom!
