Outside of not showing much gameplay, EA has pretty much done the opposite of hyping this game. They have been abundantly clear about which features will be included, a pretty conservative feature set that has a lot of people underwhelmed. With this game, I feel like I know pretty much exactly what I’m getting, and…

I love GOG, and I’m thrilled they are launching Galaxy. I haven’t heard any updates about how much multiplayer support the platform is going to be providing, though. Is there any chance the X-Wing/Tie-Fighter series will be playable online, with friends easily able to jump in and out of each others games, like with…

Lucasfilm’s Ada Duan can claim all she wants, as she did in our presentation, that your 2015 Star Wars experience won’t be complete if you don’t both watch The Force Awakens and play Battlefront, but just saying that doesn’t make it true. They talk a big game, but it’s too soon to know if they can back it up on the…

This sentiment seems pretty common on this thread, and I share it. Unfortunately, EA’s assumption seems to be that nobody wants prequel era content and that they should focus exclusively on original era, despite the fact that many fans enjoyed the prequel elements of the previous games. It’s a sad result of the over…

The rumors I heard were that the there was a campaign in place that would take your through the entire saga to date, starting with Phantom Menace, all the way into events leading up to The Force Awakens. I have my doubts that this is true, but if it is, I’d be thrilled.

Both of the original Battlefront games had prequel levels and factions, which will make me feel a little underwhelmed if this doesn’t include those things at all. It’s hard to imagine they’ll never have a Kamino level, Jedi starfighters, and a playable Darth Maul. I think I smell DLC...

Is it just a stormtrooper? This guy looks like a friggin SPACETROOPER! Are we getting zero-G combat in Battlefront?!

A question for those in the know from a noob: Is the Alienware Alpha worth it at that price? How does it compare to building your own, say with similarly priced build like this? I'd try to do a comparison on my own, but I simply don't know enough about the parts to be able that efficiently, so if anybody can do a…

It really isn't harassment. I'm not sure why you are saying that. If Jason were spamming their twitters, repeatedly sending angry emails, sending them letters, or god forbid actually physically stalking them, that would be harassment. Briana Wu has legitimately been harassed. Bungie has not been, at least not by Jason.

"Today Bungie released a new patch for Destiny, a video game in which players gradually learn how to quit playing Destiny."

You honestly find a few snarky remarks "disturbing"? There is nothing disturbing about this unless you are too thin skinned to take a little criticism, which is exactly what you are going to get from game critics. "Critic" is in the title! Don't read game critics if you are not interested in hearing their honest…

"Disrespectful harassment"? Do you understand what harassment is? Because a few snarky quips added to the reporting of the facts is not harassment.

Using the rhetoric that space is our only hope and undermining any effort to make life on Earth sustainable, Earth likely being the only home we will ever have, is much more irresponsible than anything I have expressed. And your blind dismissal of my points speaks volumes.

This is lovely. Thanks for sharing!

Indeed. I almost hope it never gets off the ground, because if it does, it will end horribly and be the worst possible PR for space-exploration. In the end, "couldn't get the funding" sounds a lot better than "died of radiation poisoning, suffocation, and starvation."

The idea that we should just go for it because there is no other way to make progress assumes there is progress to be made on this front, an almost infinite progress that probably does not exist. We may have broken the sound-barrier, but it is extremely unlikely we will ever break the light-barrier, which will…

I think the point of Warren's video is that he wishes games had grown up with him. Now that he's a discerning adult with less time on his hands, he has found that many games simply don't offer the same time/enrichment ratio other mediums do. Why spend hours and hours doing fetch quests when you could read a…

I don't think the video above disagrees with you at all. Jamin Warren is simply suggesting that not only can we have short and long-form games in the same market environment, but perhaps even in the same game. We all love a good lone Bioware game and I would never suggest Dragon Age: Inquisition has too much content,…

Well said, and I think this is what Jamin Warren was originally trying to say. As we players get older and find ourselves with less free time, many of us value those concise and focused experiences more than the "content" heavy experiences. As Warren said, this doesn't mean games shouldn't be long any more, but…

Actually, it's about ethics in game journalism.
