First off; discussion is good. I honestly don't believe video-games have any correlation to violent behavior, but it would be ignorant to not even consider the possibility, and have an open-discussion about it.

I know, I just don't think they're terribly appealing buttons. They lack any sort of "character", they're just a really stupid choice of letters.

Shapes are actually the best possible choice, really. They're universal symbols that everyone can understand, which makes them far more aesthetically-pleasant.

I'm just gonna say it;

Being OCD, I honestly hate so much of TF2's setup. Not only do you have to worry about getting all sorts of different items, but then each item usually has several different "versions", like "Vintage".

(continued from above) Also, I think part of it is that, with bigger games, it's easier to forget there are *people* behind these games, not just companies. And really, that gets back to an issue Kotaku brought up before, that there isn't enough transparency. Developers should be more in-touch with their communities,…

Well, such is the price of fame, I suppose. Still, they need to provide incentives to attract people of all views.

The thing that developers need to keep in mind is that, honestly, the only reason to even *VISIT* a game's forums is to voice dissent. I mean, if you're enjoying a game... what's more to say? At best, you're looking forward to a game and visit their forum, but once the game actually releases, you're right back in the…

This is literally the first time I've heard about this game, so perhaps it's not the best first-impression, but it definitely seems a little on the shady side. I mean, it's costume that they *KNOW* every fan of those particular characters will want (particularly, Symbiote Spider-man), yet there's nothing exclusive…

Agreed. I don't foresee a future in which a never-evolved Pokemon is quite as powerful as their fully-evolved self, but I definitely believe the playing field needs to be much more level. For that matter, perhaps the different evolutionary forms could favor certain stats, giving way to even more customization?

You're looking at it far too narrow-mindedly. Nintendo would purchase the IP, but it's not as though they would developer the next Saint's Row in-house. Rather, they would as as publishers, licensing it out to other development teams, possible even Volition itself.

That's the problem; those Pokemon you play the game with? Those suddenly become completely and utterly worthless in the competitive arena. That's what made the originals so great; because nobody knew about the systems, it meant you could start the game, have fun with it, and eventually be able to compete. Not so, now…

On the contrary; as long as Nintendo didn't impose any of their own beliefs, it would honestly be a brilliant move on their part. They're already producing Bayonetta 2, and the addition of Saint's Row would allow them to reach an audience that their first-party stuff probably doesn't appeal to.

Like I said, then Nintendo needs to find a way to overcome or work around that hurdle. After shelling out for their brand-new system, I expect a level of quality that I don't feel in being met in regards to the "backwards compatibility" aspect. I don't begrudge Nintendo or anything like that, but I'm certainly not…

Man, I'm *REALLY* digging the French architecture!!! It really gives it a very warm, welcoming look, and blends surprisingly well with the Pokemon "vibe". I just hope they give us a means of customizing our characters a bit; I'm not really digging the male's design, and it seems shockingly similar to the male from…
