As someone with a psychology background, I do have to say that there are definitely things that are innate/inherent to humans. Nothing is entirely cultural and nothing is entirely innate. The nature vs. nurture debate is a little overblown in this regard. Some things are more culturally/environmentally influenced than…

Yeah, in my opinion the game's lore has become really diluted.

The idea of different historical settings used to excite me, now I just don't have faith they can actually do the characterization needed to make those settings interesting nor do I think the modern day plot can continue to come up with excuses for its…

I do worry people miss some of the great details in LS that they wouldn't notice without taking the time to explore. I walked around some waterside refinery like place just enjoying the little details. There may not always be a real reason to visit some of the places but that's more a testament to how every square…

Three first person shooters, two of which are already out on last-gen, and the 6th iteration of a series that is getting wobbly reviews that is also already out on "last-gen" does not sound very good to me.

Not knocking fps, I might pick up BF4 eventually, I haven't played online in ages and it looks like it would be…

The Infamous "limited edition" Cole's Legacy dlc exclusive that fills in some of the gaps between Infamous 2 and Second Son is the first time I have truly been upset with a pre-order or limited availability scheme to content. They have said that they will not have it after release, even mentioning this in the comments…

So many games I still need to play, sorry next-gen consoles, you're going to have to wait a year I think.

Over on Polygon I asked Mr. Campbell to elaborate on what he found problematic, he responded, here's the link http://www.polygon.com/2013/10/23/502…

I am amazed that a person, well two people, can call something racist, resulting in the editing of a finished project, tacitly support that editing by praising it, and your idea of who is the ideological police in this situation are the people saying they think the individuals overreacted.

If we've gotten to the point…

I was just about to post some witty comment about how Kirk Hamilton The Third Esquire should have written this instead.

I think you just stated the corollary to the Greater Internet Fuckwad Theory.

We still see people get upset at us online, but its the lack of it being a face-face interpersonal interaction with someone that might exist in our social sphere that seems to make us jerks. I think its evolutionary psychology at work,…

Yeah I remember watching the TV in Heavy Rain and being like "crap, I forgot to fix that bloody kid his dinner and give him his medicine so my ex-wife won't think I'm a washed up terrible father".

What's really interesting is that Polygon has taken this study seriously and decided to post it on their website, kind of funny we're knocking Fox here on these forums for doing exactly what Polygon is doing. That's a naturalistic study in itself.

Later on in the comments, they go on to say that it won't be available after launch.

Haha, yeah actually it does. I've had situations like that before where I could realize what game/movie was objectively better but there was still something about the other that made me like it more.

Thanks for the info, I might go pick it up tomorrow actually then. Thanks for the heads-up though, if 3's partly a continuation, then 4 sounds like my best bet. I'm normally a perfectionist when it comes to know all the story.

I was literally at Gamestop today and was thinking of picking up either Yakuza 3 or 4, they were only like ten bucks. Kinda wish I had gotten them. Is one better than the other? Give me some info Kotakuites.

I originally wasn't expecting much from this contest, but I would have had a hard time picking a winner this week.

That's true. Wouldn't surprise me if they had it later.

They actually say on their blog that it will not be released after the game comes out and that this is the only way to get it. Bright side is that the limited edition is the same price as the regular edition, but its still freaking awful. As a fan of the Infamous series, I'm kinda of peeved about this. Bright side is…
