Just finished Mass Effect 3 . Some things I really, really enjoyed. The game shitting on itself and nearly being ruined forever in the last 10 minutes. Ruining the Reapers. Kai Leng, possibly the worst character in all of Mass Effect . (And his stupid ninja Phantom cohorts.) Lack of massive ...

I'm glad they changed the karma system from Fallout 3 though, this way I can be the most evil person in all of The Wasteland yet everyone likes me. Yeah but it's really stupid how you get good karma for doing things like killing ghouls. I played a character that killed literally every NPC I...

Wouldn't better phrasing of the question be, "Who do you consider underrated as an anime director?" Since "overrated" and "underrated" change from person to person.

Star War: The Third Gathers - The Backstroke of the West. I found a version where someone dubbed the subtitles onto the movie and I can safely say that it was more enjoyable than all of the Star Wars prequels combined.

That's what happens when you play a dating sim disguised as an RPG.

And? You're talking about "publications" that grade things on a four point scale disguised as a ten point scale and are allowed to blatantly lie.

The question if why you want to keep that label if this is no longer true. Why not just call it bad subs? Why you want to add the HK label? What is the point? Just because HK only has two alphabets and people are lazy to type? Those lazy people may not have insult in mind, but there are the listene...

I enjoy Nolan's films as popcorn flicks, nothing less. I wouldn't consider any of them bad, just over-hyped. The Dark Knight was too long, too clustered, and overall not the godsend to movies it's hyped to be, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy Heath Ledger's amazing a...

Why did Bandai Visual crash and burn while Aniplex is doing so well? It's all about picking your battles. One distribution model does not work for every single licensed property, some titles with high demand can get away with Japan prices, however that's not going to work for everything. Si...

Dragon Age II (XBOX360) Honestly, I don't see why a lot of people found it bad. It's not as good as the first one, mind you, but it's by no means a pile of crap. Because it's a blatantly unfinished game, also because excluding some of the better moments like Varric Bromance,...

Dude for the nth time this has nothing to do with culture. It has do to with hentai featuring more rape that other forms of pornography. Maybe if live-action Japanese porn was nothing but copious rape, culture could factor into this, but it's not. Hentai can get away with it because it's ani...

Yes, but if you then apply the same metric to anything produced by Hollywood the result is much the same. No, it's not. Hollywood has abused the "kids go party and have sex" theme, but the sex is usually consenting and rape is not used for erotica. The "no don't do that I don...

(and most of it isn't rape-centric). Even if we excluded the extremely broad modern definition of rape, a good half of ANN's list has titles on it that feature some sort of rape, molestation, or unwanted sexual advances. And beyond that many stories about two characters that actuall...

I'm not sure even that's true; a fair bit of CG games deal with convincing women to let you get in their shorts (i.e., they're about scoring, not raping). There seems to be a well-developed hentai industry devoted to the same concept (hentai versions of romantic comedies and...

Question: What is the target of you playing a MMORPG then? For an arcade game, if a person told me he never drops it I assume he wants to reach the final stage and beat the last boss. What do the words "never drop" mean in the case of MMORPG? Well SWTOR is basically a singleplayer game un...

Still playing SWTOR because I never drop anything. Started a new character after I bought a copy for a buddy so I wouldn't have to suffer alone. Unfortunately his computer has a very awkward way of rendering characters. Here is a screenshot he took. http://img406.imageshack.us/img406/6400/screen...

Don't most cultures have a fascination with rape--and, whether it's taboo or not, sex in general? I don't see how Japan's media and attitude are really so different from other cultures' when it comes to its porn. The majority of hentai seems to be about some sort of non-consensu...

Rape I agree with Bagheera. Japan's animated porn may be filled with rape or some sort of forced sex (not always violent) but that doesn't equate to the entire culture being obsessed with rape. You can find some pretty fucked up American porn as well. I will say that due to hentai b...
