author=Wyvernjackauthor=CrazeYou mean the one in caps? That one? Yes.Wyvernjackdid you even look at this game's title
How original of you to include a mysterious and secretive underground cave that is accessed by either a obvious hole in the ground or a well.
really overlooking the obvious here
New American Bill Proposes making selling non-ESRB rated games illegal
author=alterego
the ESRB introduced its Digital Rating Service for Download-only games, and it's supposedly FREE! Gee, and I thought they were cash-grabbing dictators... lol
Pretty cool.
As I said, the ESRB is pretty good at managing things on its own. =p

You know with all you people going “this isn’t going to pass, this isn’t going to pass” you know what would be hilarious? If it passed.
Yeah. No.

All in all, I do not find a problem with enforcing the ESRB and I could not care less one way or the other whether this bill passes or not. In fact, I find it a problem if games cannot or are not being rated by ESRB prior to commercial debut; why do we even have ESRB in the first place if it is not compulsory?
This is tripe.
#1: Most people are missing the point, you included. The biggest problem is not the content of this bill, it's the precedent it would set for future bills. It could become very problematic if they ever tried to extend this to digital downloads, for example.
#2: Many games today are not in fact rated by the ESRB - games on the iPhone, for example. Neither are a number of games on the Xbox Live and PSN, and there are tons of indie games released online commercially. In addition, it costs a few thousand dollars to be rated by the ESRB, something that I wouldn't consider particularly affordable for your random one-two person team.
#3: The ESRB is doing a fine enough job on its own without this crap being institutionalized. It serves its purpose of being a general advisory board quite well without being actual red tape. The only thing this bill will do is cost someone - somewhere - more money, and probably result in the occasional pointless lawsuit, all for no discernible benefit.

Another poorly thought out bill made by people that don't understand the immeasurable damage it would do.
Not going to pass anyway, though.

Vacant Sky Vol. 1: Contention Review
author=obsorber
I would have given it 3/5 though but I guess I am more lenient than you are.
That's fine.
I don't 'rate' individual categories in this review system. The final score is more like a combined estimation of how much fun I had and how strongly I'd recommend it to any random individual.

Unless it has changed during one of the updates since I last played this game, stats have a diminishing return. The more of a stat you have, the less further investment matters. This is part of what makes it hard to gauge the effectiveness of a stat. This also makes Lock-On and the strength version of said skill useless, you get greatly boosted stats, but the stats now faces a greatly diminished return.
If this is the case, wow. Just wow.
The game really wants you to focus on specific build paths when it comes to Auria's skill selection. Your allies also follow this principle, only focusing on two stats themselves. Stats having diminishing returns in such a system is completely bonkers. Sheesh!

Thanks, Avee, Cralreain. Honestly, I could probably get even more thorough if the author shows any interest and wanted me to, especially since his commercial project seems to be using the same world and a similar combat system, but there's only so many details you can shove into a review before it becomes lots of rambling. Probably. Still getting the hang of this review format. I might add an advice/improvements suggestion section in my next review, now that I think of it.
I'd loaded this game up a few times in the past (in its prior version, before the improved battle interface and additional story stuff, too) and always had trouble getting past the first act. So after I finished the Skyborn review and saw another subscription notice for this game, and saw that the game was still well-regarded, I figured I'd finally push ahead to see how it had improved and why people liked it so much. In the end, I don't know why people liked it - yeah, you can quibble about the writing, I suppose, but the gameplay is a real drag - though it's not as if these problems aren't fixable, either.
Although with the commercial game starting up soon, maybe it's too late to make changes. C'est la vie, I guess.
