[Dr. Feel Good]

I have never heard of this game and I was xbox only for that generation. And my favorite genre was RPGs. Weird.

Awesome price though, I'm really impressed, makes it a no brainer purchase.

It was Microsofts lame attempt to attract Japanese gamers in that generation. I owned the game but never played it back then.

 

[Korigama]

It's Japanese for ritual suicide.

thats sudoku

That's seppuku

no pretty sure it's subaru

Guys, guys, guys...it's obviously sukiyaki.

 

[Deadpool_X]

Guys, guys, guys...it's obviously sukiyaki.

Are you sure it isn't suzuki?

 

[Korigama]

Are you sure it isn't suzuki?

Hmm...just may be.

 

[Heysoos]

Holy shit I remember beating this game on the og Xbox

 

[Speevy]

Where is Voodoo Vince?

 

[boutrosinit]

A classic pile of shit.

Wow. I hated this game. So much.

 

[Spazznid]

Bought

 

[midramble]

Maybe Microsoft is in on it

The hiragana fits the kanji 素出来

which means "poor quality" or "plain quality...

 

[sprsk]

The character designer's influences were how to draw manga and strip clubs.

 

[Witchfinder General]

How much does this game scratch the JRPG itch? I really want to play a solid JRPG with a decent story on my PC.

 

[rpmurphy]

Man, those character models are creepy as hell. lol

Are you sure it isn't suzuki?

No, it's sukebe.

 

[ComputerMKII]

Nothing. It's a faux-Japanese word, pretty sure. The whole game is dripping with kind of hilariously distasteful fake Asian stuff.

You can't be serious. Why would you do that?

 

[antitrop]

Using the term "classic" in relation to Sudeki is fairly questionable. Game fuckin' sucked, I think the only reason it got any attention was because there wasn't much else in that genre on the Xbox.

 

[Winterfang]

Jesus Christ.

Pretty much my same reaction. We have come a long way. Wasn't Sudeki popular for being the only RPG on Xbox?

 

[Gattsu25]

No, it's sukebe.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to sokoban

 

[cheststrongwell]

Man, those character models are atrocious.

 

[Persona7]

I think I remember liking this game. The character designs are ugly though,

 

[ChronoX]

I saw this yesterday and was most pleased because I was on the hunt for a retail copy of the game. Awesome price too!

 

[Vazra]

Now bring me Brute Force for $4.99.

 

[Nishastra]

I forgot about all the ridiculous gibbing in this game.

 

[BocoDragon]

Western takes on anime are always so :|

 

[SeroTyler]

A classic from the Xbox 1 has finally been released on Steam.

Looks pretty bad for an Xbox One game.

 

[Messofanego]

What about Azurik or Vexx, you guys? Guys?

 

[kick51]

You can't be serious. Why would you do that?

there were zero JRPGs on the Xbox 1. they probably had the instruction to make it "Japanese-y"


anyway, that is a ginormous nipple erection

 

[udivision]

Western takes on anime are always so :|

but dat last airbender tho'

 

[dreamfall]

Whoa! It ain't great, but it'll be nice to revisit!

 

[sixteen-bit]

Brute Force next?

 

[Hawk269]

What about Azurik or Vexx, you guys? Guys?

While I enjoyed Azurik a lot, if they port it, I hope they fix it a little bit. It had a lot of great things going for it, but seemed a little floaty, but still have fond memories of it.

 

[ProfessorMoran]

2004 says hi!

2004 was not that fucking ugly. This is fucking bunghole character design.

 

[Timu]

Now bring me Brute Force for $4.99.

Brute Force next?

Funny enough I still have my copy, though I wouldn't mind it on PC.

 

[G-Fex]

wasn't this like a actually great game ?

 

[The Abominable Snowman]

While I own this game and I'm sure I played it earlier in the Xbox's life, I have NO memories whatsoever about this game. I'm not sure if that's a good thing (Buying it will be like a brand new game!) or a bad thing (It's trash and I forgot it for a reason).

I remember it being overhyped by OXM...

 

[AcademicSaucer]

That's seppuku

thats harakiri

 

[Hutty211]

no pretty sure it's subaru

This is why I love GAF

 

[Why would you do that?]

Western takes on anime are always so :|

Shogo: Mobile Armor Division was (apparently) not too bad. (edit: video)

Though funny enough, that game was developed by Monolith, the one company that everyone confuses the completely unrelated except by name Japanese (Baten Kaitos, Xenoblade) and American (Blood, F.E.A.R.) developers with. It just furthers the whole "is it Japanese?" confusion.

 

[Deadpool_X]

wasn't this like a actually great game ?

Not really, no. It's not bad...it's just extremely average. The problem is, it was hyped up to be the greatest thing ever, and it had been delayed several times. It was essentially the Colonial Marines of the Xbox, though not as bad.

I booted it up on my Xbox a few weeks ago just to see if it's as average as I remember, and it totally is.

 

[Grief.exe]

keep em coming microsoft

Nothing to do with Microsoft.

Climax obviously controls the IP and self-published this port on Steam.

 

[enigmatic_alex44]

I actually used to own this steaming turd on disc when I had an Xbox. Back in the days when I wasted money on awful games, I'd force myself to finish them to get my "money's worth" and even do mental gymnastics to deceive myself into thinking I liked the game. Can't believe this has a 72 on metacritic, I'd flip the number myself : 27

 

[Timu]

I always wanted to try this, was interested back in the day.=O

 

[Marcel]

2004 was not that fucking ugly. This is fucking bunghole character design.

Yep. Snake Eater came out in the same year. "2004" is no excuse.

 

[jet1911]

Where is Voodoo Vince?

Good question. Come on MS, release your old games on Steam! Do it!

 

[bobbychalkers]

Not a classic by any means but I still had fun with this game. Wake me when Phantom Crash and Breakdown show up though.

 

[Seagoon]

C'mon Microsoft, put us out of our misery and port Brute Force already.

 

[- J - D -]

Not anime enough.

 

[LiK]

got this at launch. never beat it. i think i got bored.

 

[Pyrrhus]

How improbable. What led to this?

 

[Anticitizen One]

I wanted to play this game so bad ten years ago but then my xbox went on the fritz and its not compatible with Xbox 360 or Xbox One.

 

[Willy Wanka]

I'll probably buy it in a sale. I don't think I ever finished it on the Xbox.

 

[Scalpel Knight]

Where the fuck is the Steam release of Metal Arms: Glitch in the System? No, it wasn't an Xbox exclusive, but I would really enjoy a re-release.
