I was mentioning a series, if we are talking about games with black protagonists and I say I'd rather play GTA you'd be a special kind of moron to think I'm talking about GTA 1. So on the subject of tactical RPGs if I mention Valkirie Profile then I'm probably taking about the game in the series that's a tactical RPG. High level detective work I know, but you'll get your head around it.[/quote]

While you're reaching can you grab me a jar of peaches from the top shelf? Thanks. In the hypothetical scenario you concocted I wouldn't think you were talking about GTA 1 but I would ask if you meant San Andreas or 5. And you would absolutely clarify in that instance. Considering how like ten people have played, much less heard of, Covenant of the Plume compared to its relatively more well known predecessor titled 'Valkyrie Profile' it's not exactly a stretch to think you'd be talking about that one.

Yeah weird it's almost like the games are in different genres and are scored on different merits. What a concept. 


[quote]I didn't say highest bidder, I said they put too much stock in presentation and legacy. You make the exact same argument when a Rockstar Game gets a 10/10 on the same big websites you are citing.

If a Rockstar game gets a 10/10 on the big websites my first thought isn't "BULLSHIT, ROCKSTAR BIAS" or some shit about legacy. I'd assume, and probably correctly, that the game is well made, crafted, and deserving of the score in the reviewer's eyes. Hey, fancy that, Famitsu gave GTA 5 a 40/40. Weird. Must be that Japanese legacy with regards to Rockstar games.
