I got that it was a joke, albeit not a good one.
I am starting to back off on some of the ces now, not that I won't buy them, but am starting to feel even the ces are printed so much you can get them cheaper later, hell i just saw the 250dollar halo guardian edition for 80 new, what half a year or less after it came out.
Games I thought were good that I played this year were Metro Redux, Unfinished Swan, Evil Within, Sunset Overdrive, Gravity Rush, and Persona Gold.
I was excited when it was compared to SaGa games and then I found out about the lack of story and all of the battle tedium. I'll probably check it out eventually anyway, but I can't imagine being super into it if I don't like the battle system (since the style/presentation/staff that worked on the game that I'm already fond of is not going to be able to save it alone and I don't know what else it has going for it).
