So I guess 13-2 is coming out in NA/EU soon, so all the gaming sites and mags have put up reviews. Of the few that I've read, not a single one mentions THAT THE GAME HAS NO ENDING. For all I know, the reviewer never even got to the ending. I know it's much harder to do with RPGs than any other genre, given the time commitment, but reviewers really ought to play the WHOLE GAME before writing a review, because that can really shake up how the game is. Like how with Xenogears, my rating for the game dropped significantly on Disc 2. 13-2 was pretty good for me UNTIL the ending and Squenix/Toriyama's fucking "haha! DLC story time!" shit.
Joystiq's did mention how lame it was that the game was advertising DLC in game, in reference to how the casino chick tells you "you can play slots or card games! (card games coming in future DLC". By the way, the DLC isn't out yet. The game's been out for over a month, most people who got it at launch have almost certainly moved on. I never understood why companies need extended/delayed DLC schedules for something minor like a casino card game.
Enough bitching:
http://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/201201290004/GYAKUTEN SAIBAN 5 CONFIRMED!!!! Absolutely no details otherwise, like what platform it's on, and will it be good modern Naruhodo era stuff or will it be the lame future hobo-Naruhodo stuff like in GS4. Guess we'll have to see.
Also GS1-3 HD collection for iOS, harhar. I like those games, but not enough to buy them for iPhone/iPad...
