The Stalk-Out: Next stop, Sheras' grandpa.

[Sheik]

After Disgaea and the like did fairly well, N1 started doing some localization through a start up affiliate which handled all subsequent games. Atlus USA mostly just gave them a foothold in the west which lead to them eventually being able to localize the future disgaeas under a pure Nippon Ichi license. Since 1.) it could clearly sell, and 2.) they now had all that western market cashflow.

Makes sense.

I'm actually intending to set loose a plague that decimates most of the world. Then, just when it seems like humanity is going to be blinked out, I come forth with the cure and a firm plan for rebuilding humanity along with my council of evil super scientists. I become a renowned hero of humanity as well as the richest man alive. From there, it's just a short hop to unquestionable dictator for life of earth.

And that's part of it. The other part is that I find it somewhat troublesome when publishers get credit for games they had nothing to do with, or hate for things that are clearly not their fault.

This, basically. While I kind of love them, Working Designs were absolutely the worst for this, as they loved stamping their mark over everything they did, often making their own logo far bigger than that of the actual developers, and focusing mainly on themselves for the "Making Of" videos they did rather than the guys who... er... did the actual making. If I had a penny for every time people posted about how they wanted Working Designs to develop Lunar 3... :'D

There is something of a grey area out there, though. Xenoblade, for example. Is it a Monolith game, since Monolith developed it? Or is it a Nintendo game because Monolith are technically a part of Nintendo now? Confusion.

Seriously, i don't believe demon soulds/Dark souls is a atlus game. If it was i never saw there name on it. But tbh i swear that game is crazy hard. And a rinse and repeat till you succeed.

Time to look for if demon souls/dark souls is an atlus game, would be the first none disgaea type game i've seen of theres.

Toooo much grinding.

Excuses

Either way the game requires a lot of grinding.

So Many Excuses

Elin since you are still here, whatd you think of Federer beating Murray today?

Happy, though my family weren't pleased with me for being so.

I was thrilled, watched the whole thing, that one 10 or 11 deuce game was EPIC. Federer really controlled the match the whole time (despite losing the first set), Murray was hitting several winners, but Federer was beating himself with all his unforced errors (countless times hitting the net) and he really cleaned that up in the later sets which led him to the victory.



Need a tennis emoticon!

We shall call it both. Because second party developers and all that. They're like HAL now. Except with a less cute logo.

Also, I hate how Square Enix makes nothing but gory action games and shooters these days. Why can't they go back to their roots? If they didn't make a new Call of Duty every year, we might actually get Versus 13 already!

It's not. It's made by a team up of FROM Software (mostly old King's Field devs, with some obvious spill over from Armored Core) and SONY (also several King's Field Alumni). But people were convinced a game that difficult and obscure, which is not a part of a popular series, developed by a developer that just really isn't that big over here. So nobody wanted to publish it. Cue Atlus USA, a publishing branch of a major japanese developer with a loyal fanbase that loves difficult games and has a penchant for picking up obscure Japanese games and somehow making them profitable in the west. And, well, the rest more or less writes itself.

For the most part, if it doesn't have "Shin Megami Tensei" in the title, chances are it's probably not developed by Atlus and is simply the latest game to catch the eye of Atlus USA's publishing department. It's pretty much the rule with anything post PS2 launch. Unless it's Catherine, in which case, it's still pretty solidly an SMT title, it just hides it pretty well. Sorta. Until the last act, at which point, they might as well put up huge letters that said "hey, you didn't think we wouldn't make a game that's actually about humans kicking the shit out of a god, did you?".

Definitely, was really shocked at how sloppy Federer looked to begin with. Murray played a good game, but ultimately the gap between him and the very top players is just too big, and once Federer started to play his A game there was no going back. It's a shame for Murray, because outside of Nadal, Federer and Djokovic, he's pretty comfortably the best in the world right now, and in any other era he probably would have been number one or two and won several grandslams. It's just that we have three truly exceptional tennis players all playing in the same era right now. :'D
