I love the Kinect. It's so bad.

No its 343, Irrational made BioShock Infinite

I terminated a very wanted pregnancy at 26 weeks gestation in June. My daughter had a genetic duplication and abnormalities that would have ensured that her life was brief and painful, had she even survived the rest of pregnancy and birth. If I was not extremely privileged to have excellent health insurance and enough…

Far Cry 2 was completely ruined for me by the insta-respawn checkpoints. There's nothing that will take you out of a world quicker than having enemies respawn and start attacking you from behind as you're walking away from the area you just cleared.

I could have dealt with everything else: Malaria, the gun jamming,…

In the quick video essay above, Mark Brown gives a breakdown of how radically the Far Cry series departed after Far Cry 2, and how the mechanics changed the kind of narrative each game was telling. It's a great way to get your friend who picked up the series at Far Cry 3 to go back and play what many people argue is…

Id throw my money at Count of the Jurassic Island.

I need better performance first. Both my PS3 and PS4 are wired directly to my router and most games are unplayable to me, even over my usually fine 20Mbps connection. I tried a couple of shooters when the service first appeared and it was just a horrible experience.

the Playstation 1 killed the Sega Saturn. the PS2 killed the Dramcast but the biggest reason the Dreamcast failed was mostly for Sega's stupid business decisions leading up to the Dreamcast. like the Sega CD and 32X, and royally fucking up the launch of the Saturn. all of the put them in such a deep financial hole…

Next time, Gadget! NEXT TIME!

So much beeping. People still complain about games today like if the developers killed their dog. We have it good.

You weren't really sold on the game until you saw the part you couldn't play?

What a bewildering statement.

I saw nothing that interesting there. I mean, their commitment to being cinematic is commendable if you're into that kind of stuff in your games, and the execution is very well done, but still - it is a game, not a movie. That didn't show off much gameplay at all. It would be like a trailer for Shenmue showing just…

There is nothing new in trailer? where is the gameplay?

prerendered cutscene. no hype level has been changed

Not sure how this would change anyone's mind. It shows barely anything of the game being played, and some snippets that barely thread together a narrative premise.

I don't know. We still see virtually no gameplay at all here. All of these scenes except for aiming that sniper rifle were cutscenes.

I don't know the specifics of Robocop. But back then multiplatform games were really different. In some cases two entirely different games. Today, these games are identical with minor graphical differences.

Agreed. It may seem like an interesting idea on paper but having played and worked on so many titles I know that the idea is flawed at conception unless they were making a specific game that would trigger the machine, not a controller vibration trigger that is unrelated to the game in general. This seems like nothing…

He didn't say he would sexually assault her, but that he would destroy her in game. The slang use of the word "rape" was quite evident here. It is sad how it is intentionally being misconstrued by all parties involved (the false victimized female player, tournament handlers, and the idiot who used such a poor taste…
