Damn them, releasing it close enough to christmas so it feels like I should wait and get it as present, but far enough away for me to agonize over the fact that I could get it, but should wait a couple of months.

Screw that, I'm getting it straight away.

My brother is getting it straight away, so I will too by proxy!

I share your sentiments exactly. If it's half as good as Lego Star Wars, it'll be awesome.

OH GOD, FSB'S AVATAR ISN'T FEMALE!

Yes, I was unaware. An editorial I found on Valis X has a link to an editorial about Castlevania... umm... doujins. And... yeah.

Not only is it not female, it's supposed to be Simon.

Don't worry, if the Bison ever take over the midlands Godzilla will take care of them. Just like he did with Bambi.

I don't think so. It's just that the amjority of what the X-box has doesn't appeal to gamers over there. They have different tastes. it's just like you very rarely see any text games or dating sims come out over here.

I'd use the Barfing Eye-Rolling Smiley here, but it's been overused, so I'll just roll my eyes normally at how ridiculous that sounds.

Your arguments are being played out about as intelligently in gamespot comments <_<.
Is it that Japanese gamers are prejudiced against US systems or are they just less prone to our(some may say shallow) tastes?

I'm not sure? I personally think like the latter when I purchase.

Considering Japan seems to have as much of a love affair with our junk as America has with Japanese junk, I'd write the first one off, and chalk it more up to the second one. Which is entirely possible, there are a wide range of games in Japan that would never see the light of day in the US (Right off the top of my head: Metal Wolf Chaos, as well as those games that usually combine 2-3 or more unrelated games series together into one ultra game), as well as I assume a wide range of US games that either aren't released or aren't popular in Japan that may be huge here.

Or maybe they just don't like the games on the 360. That's possible too. Other then a few exceptions, I'd agree with them.

There need to be a country to represent turn based strategy games. Yes I know RTS are popular here. No I don't think its the same damned thing.

edit: Yeah, I forgot to add a catch all category. Good point on the false delimma charge.

What, are you talking X-Com style squad turn-based, or Civilization style empire turn-based?

Sooo.... Disgaea 2. Greatest TBS ever, greatest game ever, or am I exaggerating in both cases?

I searched, and couldn't find any posts about it, zam.

Uh, I was thinking Advance Wars and Fireemblem, but I somewhat like the Tatics series too.

Theres a few other more obscure games out there that I like http://www.tacticsarena.com/
I even know of this really crappy quasi rpg online game that fits in this category, although I think the in battle delays and crashing arn't really worth it....

Oh, and if all else fails, theres Chess...

I've heard two oppinions.
1- it is too similar to the first game, which isn't a problem fro me as I never had a chance to play the first game
2-the main new characters aren't as interesting as the old ones, though they are still interesting. As I never had a chance to play the first,. no prob.

In other words, if you played the first game, only get it if you really want more and new stuff, regardless of similarity. If you haven't played the first, its not story connected so go for it.
I myself plan to get it as soon as I can.

Can you save (hard or soft; either one) in the middle of battle this time around? (In Disgaea 2, that is.)
There used to be an image here telling you to vote, but then Photobucket, the image site made to allow you to do third party hosting, no longer allows third party hosting without throwing a shitload of money at them... and I can barely afford to eat. So no you get some text of me bitching about it, yaaay! Also, go vote.
Everyday I'm tumbl'n.
