Yes, that is essentially what I just said.

I definitely got the impression that Luke was arguing for making games more cinematic. The problem is that games aren't movies; player choice and interactivity are their greatest strengths, why try and move them away from that and make them something they aren't?

Exactly. Like I was explaining to someone else, not every game needs boss battles; a semi-realistic game like Uncharted or RDR just doesn't make sense to have one guy who can somehow soak up bullets like they were spitballs. However, there is an important distinction between what I'm starting to call "villain…

"Boss fights represent closure."

No offense Luke, but... spoken like someone who has no idea what a good boss fight is.

"Everytime you die they should ban you from playing Alien: Isolation for a day."

This weekend, the Sex Lube Grand Atheletic Meet was held in Tokyo. Covered in lotion, folks competed in a handful of events. The competition looked rather stiff!

Youtube channels have replaced TV watching for me, but considering I haven't watched much TV in recent years, it wasn't difficult. Part of the appeal is being able to skip around through a video at will, to get past a boring part or replay to catch something I might have missed, which is possible to do with DVRed TV…

If you want to blame anyone for making this a bigger deal than it needed to be, blame Ubisoft. They could have simply never mentioned that they were thinking about including female playable characters and then we'd all roll our eyes at yet another grizzled white male protagonist and that'd be the end of it.

They were both pretty awesome.

You're allowed to disagree, just as I disagree with just about everything in your statement; that hasn't been my experience with Warframe's controls at all.

Note that I never made any claims as to the complexity of the parkour, just that Kotaku articles seem to act as if there was never a sci-fi shooter with parkour in it before Titanfall.

Everyone seems to forget that Warframe's a sci-fi shooter that has pretty good parkour and it's been "out" for over a year now...

I believe there's some lore reason for why they suddenly started purging the Elites, some old bitterness from when they were first forming the Covenant or something, but it was never mentioned in-game.

I would have agreed with you in Halo 1, but when the Covenant Civil War happened in 2 and 3, I (personally) was a lot more interested in seeing how that developed.

I think it was more due to the fact that they tended to hijack a game's plot; players were typically more interested in the war between the humans and the Covenant than dealing with yet another outbreak of space parasites/zombies.

Korra is good...if you feel like turning your brain off while watching it. The artwork and fight choreography is still good, but the plot and character development for the first two seasons has been a sloppy mess. Last Airbender had its flaws, but it was a kids show and those flaws were fairly negligible, so they…

I have a friend I just recently learned has never touched a Nintendo device...ever. Any of them. I was flabbergasted.

Olin's complaints lean a little too much into the area of "the only reason I got in trouble was because people are too politically correct". Sure, we do have a lot of people a little too willing to jump the gun and freak out, but he also wasn't helping his own case by ending the first message with "Donald Sterling is…

I haven't gotten that, but I will often mulligan one card (that I have two of in the deck) and get it's other copy in return.
