Not only that, but in the case of Chess the original creator is actually unknown. That only makes it more ridiculous to act like you can make a 'sequel' to it. It's not unreasonable, the whole idea was that making a sequel to chess should be something that is seen as impossible. The only reason I mentioned a…

It appears the smokers are responding in full force and they are quite irate.

IMO people shouldn't be allowed to call something a sequel to something when they had no relationship to its creation or without the approval of some hierarchy of people who were given the authority to do so by the original's creator.

Chess 2 is Archon and Chess 3 is the incredibly slow to load Wrath Unleashed.

Alright then, in that case I don't really get where this claim of it being the largest is coming from unless there just aren't really any officiated sources of any of the other >1000lbs alligators that have been caught before.

That's an incredibly prejudiced statement to make.

What's your source for this record exactly?

Perhaps longest length isn't the same as heaviest?

If you value a particularly large emotionless killing machine over a family of human beings, do us all a favor and leave society immediately.

That's not what the article says. In fact, it explicitly calls out an alligator in Texas as the previous largest.

I'm kinda surprised more people thinking competitive video games are a sport than Poker.

I like how he has the triangle cut ends to his pants and vest thing. Very Flintstones.

Oh, I just realized I left something off the last post...

Deadlines and budgets are separate concepts and the presence of one doesn't set the other. Generally though, more expensive projects take more time... not less. Partly because it just costs more money to keep people around for a longer period of time.

Nothing because you canceled Netflix months ago and started trying to achieve tangible goals instead of spending all of your waking hours watching reruns of old sitcoms on repeat.

Wow.

It'll probably be backwards compatible too :P

I didn't say any of them have more money (although let's be realistic here, Sony isn't in a wonderful position financially right now either), but do they have enough money to publish a game? Certainly. It all comes down to who gives them the most and takes the least while placing the fewest restrictions. Outside of…

I think you are developing waaaaay too strong an opinion on these companies as an outsider looking in. Plus I have never heard about anyone from From claiming that Namco-Bandai was a meddlesome publisher. DS2 may have been something of a cash-in, but the nature of that project seems to have been a mutual decision by…

It doesn't mean it'll be better, no, but with more money comes a longer development cycle (and/or more developers involved) and more time to make a game have more content and a more robust QA process.
