    I'm getting frustrated just looking at screenshots. The back of the box should say "Asian decent required to unlock all achivements."

        Have you ever played Street Fighter at a college arcade? It's not an insult, Asians are superior in that regard.

        How is superior reflexes a negative?

          Its a negative because you're basing a generalization based solely on race. Its that same as assuming a black guy is good at basketball. Or that all japanese people know karate.

            Technically, he's not saying all asians are good at it, he's saying all non asians are bad at it. What's the difference?

            Well, it doesn't imply all asians are good at it, and in general, positive racism is offensive only because it implies all of a set of people are good at something, which is offensive to those of that set of people who aren't.

            ( "all asians are good at math is a positive stereotype", and the average asian from madtv not being good at math is an example of how it ends up in offending someone)

            Really, the only reason it's racism is because he's being not being offensive to asians, he's being offensive to everyone else by saying they totally suck at it.

            Either way, I don't really care, I just wanted to point out some errors in your logic.

            Honestly, you have got to be shitting me. Being someone who asian or pacific islander or whatever the fuck is considered politically correct, I'm so damn tired of everyone pulling out the race card just because of one little thing or another. All it does it demeans those who actually had to put up with true racism. With my experience with racism, the last thing I need are dumbfucks who'll cry wolf at every damn little thing and pull out the race card.

            It was a joke, albeit not very funny, but a joke. So let's get over it and move on. There are bigger problems in the world instead of policing every little thing that someone says. No matter what damn race or ethnic group you're in, just STFU and realize that we're all fucked up and all human.

      Did you find the first one hard? Seriously: once you learned the fighting system's in's and out's a bit, the game became extremely fun, challenging, and as a result, rewarding.

      The first time I played through, I pulled my hair out at the first and second bosses. The second time I played through, I was amazed that I even found them remotely hard.

      I can't fucking wait for this game. =p

          Combat is fine, the bullshit puzzles drove me up the wall though.

            Which was fantastic with Sigma how they completely removed them! Especially that fucking red room with the swingy spike balls and spikes on the ground.

            The only thing which really shit me about NG are the ghost fish. Lets hope they never, ever, ever, ever return. Ever.
