Comment on Lightning Returns: “But She Looks Like A Joke Now!” by HouseLife:

And you missed the part where I specifically said I will not do any research or watch anything related to the game so I buy it and start it with a clean perception. Unlike many of the morons peppering the internet, I actually do in fact form my own opinions about something and ignore all the stupid people until I form that opinion. Bitching about something before it’s even begun has wasted a lot of my time in the past where I listened to peoples’ opinions and they turned out utterly incorrect, or just negative and stupid. So I gave up.

  There was definitely subtlety. I wasn’t speaking about designs or things like that, but the actual acting. I honestly don’t care whether people liked the acting or characters or not, but there are two things that are true: The acting was solid, and there was a lot of unspoken emotion that was conveyed very well. If you didn’t feel it, that doesn’t mean it wasn’t there to feel if you wanted to. Characters or scenario may not be to your liking, but it was there, and I respected it. People who …

  If you haven’t played it, I really suggest you give it a shot rather than take on other peoples’ perspectives. If you have, well… sorry it’s not FF7? You can play that anytime you want.

  If by ‘thing’ you mean really well-made JRPGs in a classic sense? Then I guess yes, but people don’t play it because it’s popular. They play it because it always, always has a standard of quality that constantly gets raised. Whether people don’t like their choices or not, the quality increases on a constant basis whether they like it or not. They just bitch and moan too much to actually pay attention to that fact.

  I really enjoyed the subtlety and focus of the first two games. Most people hate them for pretty stupid reasons, but even I won’t defend Nomura’s decision here. Granted I’m not against them trying new things since haters will hate no matter what they do and that’s already been proven. But the benefit is at least you can change her outfit apparently in this game. At least based on what a friend told me. I refuse to even watch the trailer so I can buy the game without any preconceived notions …

  Apple isn’t doing horribly. That was much like facebook, where there was really nothing there but what you saw. Apple does deal in physical products (that happen to deal in air :P) so they actually do have merit in what they do, even though I dislike their products and their practices myself.

• GungHo Stock Plunges: “The Social Bubble Finally Bursts!?”:
  

  Overcrowded is the problem. Unfortunately they’re trying to hop a trend as the trend is dying. They either must reinvent their social gaming to usher in a new form, or they’re going to go with substandard rapid creations like that crap that was posted here the other day and fail even further. For now they can blame Wada, but it really wasn’t him who screwed everything up.

  Anyone who knows anything about stocks knows that eventually a stock based on air will rise and fall like nobody’s business, I just didn’t expect it to crash so spectacularly in a few days. I am actually happy.

  Well, that depends. GITS had its affect back in the 20th century, however technically so did Evangelion, so it’s a little strange. I definitely see some decent presence in this list. Haruhi being high is correct, it redefined so much with its creation it deserves its place.

• Top 25 Anime Girls Love & Guys Hate:
  

  It’s not ruining it at all. This yet again is the same bullshit as with games. The series have nothing wrong with them. Only the fans. Nobody deserves to have their worthless opinions heard when they dislike a series because of the overzealous fans of that series, in either direction. Intense love and intense hate leading to mindlessness has nothing whatsoever to do with the show itself.
