Now he'll get $15.

My main problem with GameStop is the price. Specifically, the price stickers.

Did you just call Pikmin crappy?

I'll give you some credit in pointing out the really bad Designers, but nowadays, to make it as a Designer, you better have a very clear understanding of Art + Programming Resources, and how to script and program.

A lot of Designers do their job because Programmers and Artists have no clue as to the best interest of a…

You've just described a bad designer...and yeah, there's a ton of them. A good game designer, though, will know a lot about every aspect of the development process. It's crucial both so they can make the right decisions for the game but also because a good designer provides the cohesive vision for the game and they…

If you are talking about game designers that graduated from those Game Design school then you might be right on the money that they know nothing about actual art or programming. If you must know, these type of designers graduate usually end up working at EB Games or Gamestop instead of working for major publisher.

Wow... talk about ignorance. I've been a designer for 9 years, and I can easily say that your assumption couldn't be further from the truth.

Most designers I've worked with are the complete opposite, at least the ones who want to stay employed. They need to know some programming, some art, production, and basically…

What's your source for this? Because as I understood it , you can't even get to the position of game designer unless you've done some code, or some level design or something.

Did you just say most designers know nothing about actual art or programming? Thats like saying an Architect has no idea about carpentry or plumbing. You may from your experience have worked with designers that may not but living up to your expectations but it is a GREAT Designers job to understand the inner workings…

That sounds like a 'game designer' to me, rather than a "Game Designer". The former being the sort of people who 'have an idea for a game'. The latter being the type who act as competent directors of projects.

Not in the least.

Vita?

I'm amazed at how little this looks like something on a SNES.

Probably this one: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reductio_…

I'll just leave this here for you to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man

I personally can't wait until Global Warming alarmists can use this logic on what they believe and they figure out its nothing but minute variations in the earth's orbit. Put a rock on a string and try to keep the circular motion perfect and exact every time. Its impossible, I'm not sure why VERY smart people…

We all know the true reason she traded it in...

The problem with the system is the way that it is presented, and not how unique and intricate it is. An updated user friendly UI to all of it would have changed everything.

I think Materia is still the best system that for some reason nobody else ever uses.

Final Fantasy VIII actually has one of the better battle systems in the entire series. It has flaws, and I seriously wish they would revisit them to address said flaws -some due to the limited hardware at the time. But it really is a blast to play and isn't a huge time sink to master like some shitty final fantasy…
