Square Enix to buy Eidos, cover it in zippers.

I'm not really a fan of anything Eidos aside from the Legacy of Kain series and various other single games.

I'd like to see another good LoK game. That series has always been a hit or miss I think. I loved the original Blood Omen, Blood Omen 2, and Defiance, but I disliked Soul Reaver and Soul Reaver 2. Defiance is more like a Soul Reaver title but much more enjoyable.

Lara and Tifa in one game? Even a PS3 doesn't have enough processor power to render that much bouncing.

It's simply a business acquisition. It doesn't mean Square Enix and Eidos will merge.

Didn't any of you learn about this kind of thing at school?

... Huh. I'm trying to figure out where you got the idea that anyone assumed there was a merger going on, since no one's even mentioned it except you. I certainly never said it.

Whether or not Square Enix and Eidos merge is irrelevant: Square Enix will own Eidos, and they will have tied themselves to a failing company. Eidos has put out nothing but crap and under-performing Tomb Raider titles for a couple years now. They're a shady company with a bad reputation for manipulating the gaming press and lying in their advertising. They've been losing money for years. They were failing. And Square Enix is trying to spend 120 million dollars to buy a failing company. Which makes no sense. because they're constantly losing money too.

My point is that Square Enix seems incapable of making a good business decision lately. They've posted losses for two straight years. The ONLY internally developed game they've released since the beginning of this console generation was Last Remnant. Which flopped. There is no fucking way that Final Fantasy XIII becomes profitable at this point, because it's been in development for something like five years with a full triple A dev team, and there's no end in sight. Dragon Quest IX, a DS GAME, has been in development Hell for three years. They haven't even nailed down a release date, but they've already announced Dragon Quest X? They can't get one single game out the door that isn't a Tose developed DS remake of a ten year old game, but they can spend over one hundred million dollars to buy a failing company with absolutely nothing going for it but Lara Croft?
