It's also Idea Factory. Consistency!

I think that SiliconEra thread says more about the quality of niche JRPG fans than the quality of Idea Factory games. Though they're pretty much the same: nonexistent.

I think some people just have a very different idea of what fun is.
I mean, someone out there built a working calculator in little big planet, and then there's the people who recreated the Starship Enterprise to scale in Minecraft, later outdone by the people who recreated the entire fricking Kanto region. I'm sure there's a certain class of anal retentives for whom ridiculous bureaucracy fits them like a glove.
Either that or "my game is vastly more complicated than yours" makes them feel smugly superior...

Also, the people that seem to think that we're tolling for hits for something like this don't understand how Internet traffic works. If we actually wanted hits we'd be blasting games people actually cared about it. That folks don't really care about Record of Agarest War might be the cruelest blow of all for that crowd.

Oh yeah.... I played Gordo too in a past quest to find a single decent game on the lynx. I did find it oddly amusing and bad, which is what Kusoge is supposed to be, right?

What I find perverse is there's a giant woman's leg in the same screen as a tiny man. Is the woman a giantess, or is the man a midget? It looks like both if you consider the average size of a monkey in relation to human beings. Did someone on the dev team have a thing for macrophilia? Also, as a consummate eater of animal flesh, I am totally digging how two of four games blasted as kusoge appear to involve animal welfare somehow. A subliminal political message on our part, or do PETA/Greenpeace/environmental supporters just not know how to make good games?

One of the other kusoge appeals of the Lynx games (and Bob mentioned it in his article) is how freakishly morbid the deaths and Game Overs could be in Lynx games...stuff on the same level as Death Duel and Warhawk's game overs. It was like the programmers were trying to work out some issues by doing horrible things to the player character.

I've heard from people I respect the opinion of that DP is fantastic. Such as the 10 (out of ten!) given by Destructoid's Jim Sterling. What's hilarious is that Rising Star Games (the game's European publishers) took the score seriously and placed it on the cover!

Does it matter if they really took it seriously? Having a perfect score on your box is a great advertisement no matter what.

And it's also great to see them respecting Destructoid (although Hudson included Mr. Destructoid's head as one of the helmets/heads on Bomberman Live! and Bomberman Ultra)

I just noticed. A glaring omission from the Agarest article is the AMAZING "Western style" European boxart. It was even on the site's blog. Look at that face. LOOK AT IT.

Good point, though that was only a potential pre-release cover-art option - in the end Ghostlight went with what's already up on the kusoge entry for the Euro release. They still kept the font though.

The MSX version of Predator is for the MSX2 specifically. // Alright, fixed. Thanks.
